To think loose women sucks!

I'm rarely at home during the day so don't often see Loose Women. I'm surprised it's still on air tbh. I've always found the panelist's quite self important, opinionated and rude. Some more than others.

But they appear to have excelled themselves and introduced a new 'feature' where the loose women themselves give us their whole life story. Currently listening to Denise Welch talking about her childhood and life and wondering who on earth cares?!

Is it just me? Or is this utter tosh.

And yes I will turn over very shortly.

Of course it does! It's Loose Women. Grin It's always sucked!

catspyjamas27 · 20/08/2019 13:19

@Sparklingbrook you are correct but this seems self indulgent even by their standards!!!!!

Yes it’s always been beyond shite !

ChristineTime · 20/08/2019 13:22

It's absolutely terrible. The panelists are obnoxious, thick as pig shit tossers who reinforce some incredibly problematic stereotypes about men and women.

However, I'm always conscious that it's very easy to level criticism at these programmes which are hosted/presented by women, aimed at women, and talk about things which interest/appeal to women without recognising that there are equivalent men's programmes (namely sport programmes) which aren't ridiculed and devalued in the same way.

It's a clichéd, stereotype-laden load of bollocks. YANBU.

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 20/08/2019 13:22

I hate Denise Welch, she is self absorbed, self important, is a self appointed expert in a lot of things she has a very one sided view of. She is the reason that I never watch that programme.

PandaAtTheZoo · 20/08/2019 13:25

My mum used to watch that every morning when I was growing up. It is complete garbage, no idea why anyone watches it

AuntieMarys · 20/08/2019 13:25

I'm sure when it began it was more interesting.
But it is just a sycophantic D list celeb fest. And there are no words for Colleen Nolan.

catspyjamas27 · 20/08/2019 13:25

I went off it massively after the Kim Woodburn incident but it's always been shit.

Theoretically, I can understand the concept of discussing topical things and so on but I can't believe anyone would be arrogant enough to think that the audience wants to sit and hear about the lives of these has been for half an hour! Even fans of the show must find that boring?!

Hate it. Group of catty women having a bitch for an hour, aka my worst nightmare!

HairyFloppins · 20/08/2019 13:38

I won't watch it any more after Kim Woodburn and Colleen still being on it.

Nasty show.

AuntyMarysBigRedPants · 20/08/2019 13:45

I would rather watch paint dry than watch it, whatever the rights or wrong with Kim Woodburn they hyjacked that woman and ganged up on her
They should remember that when they discuss bullying next time

Notthebradybunch · 20/08/2019 13:54

I wouldn't watch that shit if you paid me!

skybluee · 20/08/2019 14:03

Oh God. I remember the Kim thing. They were so cruel, weren't they making fun of her being upset about being abused with snide little comments? I can't stand it... it's shit. Some of the panellists can be OK though. I don't like the Nolan people at all.

abigailsnan · 20/08/2019 14:04

The sooner Coleen Nolan accepts that she is a talentless big mouthed overweight middle aged woman the better she proved this after the Kim Woodburn episode which was horrendous.
Never waste time watching it now shows like that deserve a license refund.

LagunaBubbles · 20/08/2019 14:07

Criticise her for her behaviour fair enough but what has her weight and age got to do with it?

PandaAtTheZoo · 20/08/2019 14:19

What happened with Kim Woodburn?

Oh my god 😂 that sounds like Hell. I’m a huge fan of “The View” (USA show) it’s like a much less trashy & more political version of loose women. I can’t stand Loose Women.

goldenlabs · 20/08/2019 14:33

I never liked Denise Welsh when she was going on about how she couldn’t stand being around shy/quiet people. Said they made her uncomfortable or something. Well we can’t all be confident extroverts like you Denise.

Nautiloid · 20/08/2019 14:35

It's awful. It was on at my friend's house the other day. Bunch of vile personalities spouting utter drivel.

ohfourfoxache · 20/08/2019 14:36

I once saw someone on MN describe it as wilful ignorance on tramadol. Most accurate description I’ve ever seen.

Hithere12 · 20/08/2019 14:37

Jane Moore is a hard faced cow who bragged about marching up to people in the disabled car park confronting them about not “looking disabled” enough.

Barbarafromblackpool · 20/08/2019 14:40

It’s shite

TanselleTooTall · 20/08/2019 14:48

It's awful viewing.

Kim W episode and LW's deliberate ignoring of criticism spoke absolute volumes. It was shite way before that, though.

firstimemamma · 20/08/2019 14:51

Yanbu, it's awful!
