"One sounds like a twat" Badders? Really? Nice.
"Feel free to add fuel. My flamethrower ran out and there's still plenty of weeds in the garden that deserve to die" Helen?
Fancy- sounds like a criticism of JP.
Well it is really. Not really. Why are we not able to de-personalise. It's not personal.
JP posts something that's old news. She coujd have not posted it. But she chose to. That's her choice. She's the producer. She chooses to put herself in the front line on Twitter. That's her choice. It's her job. It's in her interests.
Often she is thanked and praised for pictures, info, snippets.
The general promotion of the series is generally poor. One has to question what would have happened if JP hadn't have done what she did. Without her the series could well have been axed after first series due to poor viewing figures. It wouldn't have such a following, that's for sure!
But Twitter etc is a wierd thing isn't it. It is quite a double edged sword. Pro's and con's. And sometimes someone such as a producer might sit back in hindsight and question whether they would do the same again?
Because with it comes highs and lows. And no one is beyond reproach. All fab when things are going well. But there are always mistakes, naturally. And there have been. So you have to take the rough with the smooth.
When people turn around and say 'what's going on ', this is shit.
And that's what this is. You gotta feel a bit sorry for her. She says this, because presumably she's got nothing else to say, nothing else yo give.
And when I read it I think "is that it? Is that all you've got? Poor you. Coz that really is naff"
But it's not personal. It's not saying "you are shit", it's just saying "this is rubbish".
It may not be your direct fault. But if you put your self up there, as a representative, then you take all the praise, but you also have to take the complaints when someone says this is rubbish.
But I suppose I am contradicting myself because I suppose it is personal, but then it's not, because other shows get praised and criticised. It just comes with the territory.
