Love this series. Back next Sunday

tho the rich families who own their own business etc - I hope they don’t do the usual ‘free training’ to the poorer families and then get them to start their own companies

I think the first one to give was the electrical wheelchair for a woman

but yes if thy got another part time job or worked evenings or stopped after 2 kids many families wouid be better off

Yes I remember the wheelchair

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2026 09:52

It was a lovely touch and meant so much to the family and was literally peanuts to the rich family

I am not rich. Obviously. I can’t imagine having £2k a week spare after bills so £100k a year

Did I read correctly that one recent episode was set in Tunbridge Wells? Which one?

purpleme12 · 01/04/2026 19:10

I can't remember details like that 😆

Oh yes this was years ago, maybe as much as 10 years. They do definitely choose them and stage scenes. There was a poor family once where the wife was a cleaner and the husband didn't work, he collected expensive tropical aquariums and he got a lot of stick online about it. There was a thread on here and he posted on it saying the show is scripted from the beginning to the end, you don't get to choose what to do with the spending money and the production team make up scenarios to make good TV.

Edited

I can believe it, it’s the same with Dogs Behaving Badly - I know someone who went on that and the crew wound the dog up at the start, got it all hyper so they could film it looking out of countdown, set scenes up like deliberately leaving food in the dog’s reach so they could film it “stealing” food and then at the end they wear the dog out so it barely has the energy to move and then hey presto … look at this well behaved calm dog!

I often feel like the ‘poor’ people in this are the type that just deliberately stay poor and don’t really care about it, and they can’t be bothered to do anything to change the situation, even simple things like doing a few more hours per week.

I think lots just go on Rich House Poor House to have a fun week, appear on TV and have a lump sum of money to spunk on stuff for that week.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/04/2026 12:45

Yes I think you are right. My mum died. I was devastated esp as I was with her when died - but I had to go to work as no choice and bills needed paying

carpets can be brought cheap or even places that do pay weekly

I will say cleaning is hard physical work

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 14/04/2026 13:16

Love the way they say what the package is worth. So she gets training and will play with their money (100k) to try and earn money

his teeth looked good and I totally get the lack of confidence with no front teeth

hopefully will get a better paid job or even work more hours as it’s working full time. That will help

new carpet was nice

Would never pay for his course. Very few make money like him.
He's making alot of money selling these courses and there's no guarantee
Typical he was wearing his t shirt in the programme. It was nothing more than an advert for what he does.

not weird at all. Husband obviously wasn't interested. Lewis just wanted to flog his name and business. There is no other reason the rich do this. Free publicity

That’s a good point

poor man's tattoos were horrible. Nobody else in that training room had them. Only him.

purpleme12 · 18/04/2026 19:07

Nice house and grounds in this one. The rich one.

But he says he can't remember if it's got 4 or 5 bathrooms. 😕 That doesn't make sense
You'd know how many bathrooms your house has

purpleme12 · 18/04/2026 19:49

She could have had an actual bath rather than lean over it and just wash her hair

purpleme12 · 18/04/2026 19:53

Why on earth do you have to roll to the side in the bath to wash under your arms! 😆🤔

purpleme12 · 18/04/2026 19:55

Ah bikes are nice for the boys

purpleme12 · 18/04/2026 20:50

Wow a VIP experience at the Safari Park!!

That's amazing!!!

That has got to be the best experience on this programme ever
