To think loose women sucks!

catspyjamas27 · 20/08/2019 13:16

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.

You should listen to woman's hour on radio four instead.

ACPC · 20/08/2019 14:54

Bunch of wallopers cackling and talking shit. I hate LW.

whogoncheckmeBoo · 20/08/2019 15:03

Agree, also can’t stand Lorraine Kelly for the same reason.
There must be more intelligent and principled women who could join Ruth L to make a useful show

user764329056 · 20/08/2019 15:06

It’s complete trash, they all think they’re funny and full of wisdom, mostly they just state the bloody obvious, worst is Carol McGiffin, I think that’s her name, she’s so shrill

Duchessgummybuns · 20/08/2019 15:10

Ugh Carol... is she still on? She was always harping on about her much-younger-than-her boyfriend when I used to tune in

ChristineTime · 20/08/2019 15:25

@HollowTalk I agree... please listen to Radio 4 Woman's Hour instead if you're after a female perspective on the world.

Woman's Hour has changed my life.

I enjoy it for its pure awfulness but today was a new low. Have they run out of guests?

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 20/08/2019 15:40

The only one I like is Ruth Langsford. The rest of it is just...awful. They are all so far up their own arses its unreal

Sweetpea55 · 20/08/2019 15:42

goldenlabs..

''confident extroverts '' ie gobby mare..

Bravelurker · 20/08/2019 16:05

Was it Denise who pulled down another female contestants /housemates bikini bottoms or something on cbb a few years ago, then went on to win it?
I know it's been said a million times before, but this is why we can't have nice things.

CookPassBabtridge · 20/08/2019 16:06

I used to like it for a few years when it first started.. same as I used to like big brother etc. Some shows start of with promise and then evolve badly.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/08/2019 16:07

They all seem to have the same opinion on things. There’s no debate. Talk about talking to the converted.

littlemissdynamite · 20/08/2019 16:08

Also loathe it now. It used to be OK.

Denise Welch is virtually unwatchable. Whenever she is on, it's the 'Denise show.' She prattles on constantly about herself, her health issues, her problems, EVERY time she is on.

I used to like Jane Moore but went off her when she slated disabled people.

Nadia is another one who likes the sound of her own voice.

Coleen is vulgar, opinionated, and gobby, and is homophobic.

Carol McGiffin is AWFUL. She poo-poos everything nice, fun, cute, romantic, or cheesy. (Like Valentines day, couples holding hands, collecting fairy ornaments, and things like that.) She also constantly has a go at people who believe in ghosts, the paranormal, life after death, Heaven, UFOs, aliens, etc etc. Because SHE doesn't believe in a certain bloody thing, they obviously don't exist, and anyone who does believe in a moron.

Janet is almost as bad as Carol. Poo poos everything, moans about everything, mocks things, and is also very opinionated. Nothing wrong with having an opinion, and being a bit outspoken, but not when it involves slagging off other people views and opinions and life choices.

And don't even get me started on how sexist they are, with their constant man-bashing, and near-naked men dripping all over them. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Ruth Langsford and Andrea McLean are the only ones I like.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/08/2019 16:11

Mind you we’ve all got the same opinion about LW being bleeding boring.
Oh I know I know etc etc. We’re like a bunch of Sybil Fawtys Grin

catspyjamas27 · 20/08/2019 16:22

I don't find Lorraine as offensive tbh. And there are certain panelists who've been on LW that don't offend me either - Andrea Mclane is ok. Linda Bellingham and Jane McDonald were good too. It's the try-hard ones who are full of self importance and conviction about their questionable opinions like Welch, Nolan, mcgiffin etc. Notice all of those ones have also done their fair share of reality tv. Fame hungry has beens.

But yeah the 'life before loose' feature is a new low imo.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/08/2019 16:27

Lorraine is nice (superficially) but I really don’t like her. She seems too sweet to be wholesome.

I don’t suppose she’s particularly in love with me, either though. Grin

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 20/08/2019 16:31

Lorraine is too smiley to be genuine. Underneath the smile beats the heart of a stone cold serial killer. It's only a matter of time...

I can't stand Jamelia.

Bravelurker · 20/08/2019 16:32

Carol is Piers Morgans female counterpart @littlemissdynamite.

whattodowith · 20/08/2019 16:37

Always been shite. I’ve only ever seen it if I’ve been at my Mum’s and she’s had it on. Terrible but all daytime TV is. The Wright Stuff was decent, I haven’t bothered watching since Vine took over.

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 20/08/2019 16:46

Oh Linda Belligham was such a lovely lady. RIP. I also thought Jane McDonald was good. Ruth Langsford comes across as genuinely kind and caring.

It was great when it was fresh and new but it's just the same old topics nowadays and a stage for ITV reality show wannabes.

museumum · 20/08/2019 16:48

It's absolutely bloody awful.
late night women's hour shows how that kind of show could be done.

ChocChocButtons · 20/08/2019 16:54

Love Ruth obviously she’s awesome. As many people have said when they had Kim Woodburn on their were horrible. That women is clearly not well and They set her up that day.

Jinglejanglefish · 20/08/2019 16:54

ITV daytime tv is utter hateful trash

Sewrainbow · 20/08/2019 16:55

Utter shite!

I've always hated Coleen Nolan since she proudly stated she wouldn't vote for some spurious reason, I was almost moved to complain to itv, she was so ignorant, yet proud of it, only a generation or two before her were fighting for the right to a vote. Even now in other countries women aren't able to and she throws this privilege aside and used her position on daytime tv to try and influence others to do the same. Angry

Then I heard about the Kim Woodburn incident and watched the clips. She was definitely in the wrong and yet had no comeuppance and to week crocodile tears on This Morning too... uggghh contemptible woman Angry

BrunettesDoItBetter · 20/08/2019 17:35

Apart from Christine Lampard and Stacey Solomon they are a bunch of idiots.Ruth Langsford irritates me with her permanent look of amusement like shes enjoying some sort of private joke,Denise Welch always steers the topic to her favourite subject,her! And Coleen Nolan is just a dick.
