I have had the misfortune of being ill and stuck at home for the past three days. While doing some uni coursework I have had the TV on in the background and as a result, have been subjected to this show.

So for three days I have seen misery and poor health (dental health mainly) on a large scale.

Where do they find these people? Do they take one of those 'fun buses' around and 'recruit' them?

Its bloody awful.

some local 'family'went on it ....they actually allowed filming in their house(which was an absolute tip) the mum claimed the daughter hits her when in reality it was the other way round (the girl is now in cae despite the mother saying on tv she wanted to learn how to be a good mum) apparently they thought they would get a wees holiday and new outfits but jeremy saw thru it and only the girl got a day at a adventure camp thing,least if you feel you are having a bad time you can watch jeremy and KNOW really youre life is a lot better than some!!

I can see how you might go on it for a chance to slag off a close family member in public, but you would have to be pretty dim not to realise that Jezza will set you up and bring on the close family member and take his/her side.

tiredemma · 22/02/2008 10:40

The people are always only ever from the following places.

Bristol

Walsall

Blackpool

Glasgow.

never hear any accents from anywhere else.

I am jealous of the op staying at home watching Jezza Kyle.

Of course it's crap but it's great. Especially great when you are ill abd feeling ugly and grim and that your life is crap, watch JK and feel thanks christ my life is not like that. Perfect Schadenfreude telly.

It's the telly equivalent of those Take a Break mags that my mum always buys (and I devour in glee when nobody's watching). Full of staged photos of someone pointing, with a grim look on thier face.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 22/02/2008 10:47

They also make me feel very well preserved, because the women my age always look about 20 years older than me.

(How sad am I when I have to use the Jeremy Kyle show to booster my flagging self-esteem.... I'm sure I'm not alone in that....)

tiredemma · 22/02/2008 10:49

PMSL @ takeabreak.

So true about the 're-enactments'- it used to be a standing joke with me and my mates, we would do the horrendous poses.

( Dont be jealous of me at home- my chest feels as if someone is standing on it! Not a desired feeling!)

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/02/2008 11:00

tiredemma - now I feel better knowing that I am not the only loon who reads takeabreak with her mates/mum and laughs at the pictures.

Also funny are when readers share their tips, cue pictures of dodgy placemats made out of old christmas cards or whatever.

hope you feel better soon by the way, this morning is on soon and in a minute you can watch re-runs of Walker Texas Ranger or Murder She Wrote, followed by neighbours.

There, you feel so much better now, don't you

It's real car crash tv, isn't it? I can only get 4 terrestrial channels in my kitchen so often JK is the only thing on (other than more property progs, which I can't stand). I have to confess to only having watched about 3 programmes all the way through though.

They had a couple of brothers from Newcastle the other day and their accent was so thick and they spoke so quickly (sorry shouted at each other so quickly) that I thought I was listening to a foreign language. They also had appalling dental appendages and I would quite cheerfully have shot them. Why do these women think they are such great catches???

tiredemma · 22/02/2008 11:26

Yes- women actually fight over these creatures.

ugh.

tiredemma · 22/02/2008 11:29

They had a couple on the other day and the woman must have been out and brought some new clothes for the show. On she clomps in a pair of Knee-high boots (with price lable still stuck to the bottom) and a new hair scrunchie.

These people do themselves no favours. And they breed like rabbits.

OOoooh, I love it. It always amazes me what people come on National Television wearing, I often wonder if they brought nicer clothes to change in to but then realised they weren't allowed to change at the studio once they got there... there must be a reason.
