There is only one reason anybody should watch a show like this, and that is to take the piss out of it. I cannot think of many shows worse than this one. It's popularity shows just how many air heads live in this country.
I know right? I have absolutely no idea why it even made it through screening. I mean, its not as if the average Brit can relate to it on any level. The level of snobbery on display is unreal.I had some female company the other night, who spent the night and whilst flicking through channels she noticed this damn show was about to start and insisted on watching it. Despite my protests, she grabbed the remote.
After a few minutes, I zoned out, until I heard this pompous bloke with some real over the top snobby accent complaining about people jogging near the precious area where he does his shopping. He used the word "ghastly" to describe people that do it, claiming how they sweat all over everybody and offend them with the sight of their hideous clothes sweaty hair and how he didn't want to be touched by them.
How can anybody watch that crap?
I wanted to go to sleep, but its hard to do in the presence of company after a few drinks and a bit of a lob on so had to sit through the entirety of the damn thing. Its mostly overpriviliged trust fund kids gossiping and being pretentious! I never thought such a show would take off in England!
I feel like my IQ has dropped after watching it. Ever since, I've found myself occasionally pausing in mid conversation struggling to think of words I wanted to use and I am sure its related lol.
Mind you there really isn't much decent programming on Freeview. With the cost of a television license and the number of channels on it, you'd think they would bother filling them with something decent! Besides MOTD, the occasional football match and the odd comedy sitcom, not much interests me on it.
