i have just watched five minutes of what must be THE worst Tv programme ever

[gymboywalton]

on a random channel called really

the programme is called cheaters

the premise is that a person who thinks that thier partner is being unfaithful to them, goes on tv, a team of private investigators follow the partner etc and then they take the person to confront their unfaithful partner in public. Cue lots of shouting and shoving and swearing.

WTAF??? who thought this was a good idea for a tv programme?

That sounds fab! I'm off to check the TV Guide

Wot Hair said

Haha, before DCs were born, we were once stuck in a villa in Spain with another couple in the rain and we got so into this programme. Best shite telly ever!

Urgh yes I've seen this. Was relieved to find out it's a complete fake (google 'cheaters fake') as otherwise I was going to have to top myself at the new low humanity had reached.

my name is UnChartered and i have never watched this programme

i used to be a lot better on during the day my sister introduced me to it and we used to get together and eat biscuits whilst guffawing our way through the day

i think it was on in between jerry springer another 'rl' show like a break

is it fake??? oh thank god
i really thought it was a proper scraping the bottom of the barrell heap of crap

Oh I remember that. It was an American thing wasn't it?
It was brilliant.
I didn't know it was still on. Very to hear it was fake.
I have no faith in human nature anymore.

Love it, occasionally.

If you like Cheaters you need to check out the uncovered version. In one episode after planting hidden cameras in the suspect's home the investigators painstakingly taped nine days of raunchy sex between the suspect and their bit on the side. It was incredibly graphic - and perhaps slightly more than was strictly necessary to evidence the affair. You'll need to bleach your eyes after you've watched it obviously. Maybe also your brain.

It sounds like the living embodiment of a mumsnet thread. Terrifying

Did they have pitchforks?

Oooh gawd I think that might be a bit too much even for me. But I will look for it lol

Lol Bof!

It was all '90s Jerry shouting, Boffles. Good value.
I am very sorry if it is fake.

They always cheat with their cousins too. I don't know why.

Lol Sue!

I used to watch that about ten years ago. I loved it sad cow that I am. I actually saw an episode a few months ago and couldn't believe it was still going. Different presenter though, but he's still of the same ilk - all day-glo teeth and fake sympathy.

I want to watch it again.
Anyone know when it's next on?

It's on freeview 20, or it was.

The prpgramme seems to be much rougher. More fighting as Sue said, 90's Springer style lol

Oh OP look at the ratings boost you've given this programme!

It's on Really at 11pm.

Not sure all of it was fake, I was living in the US when the show was new, am sure I remember the host got a little bit stabbed by one cheater he confronted...

DP used to watch it

its watchable, if you are in the mood....!
