Rudeboy – thank you for your correct advice. Thank you for being the only person to not rip into me.

Looks like the bandwagon is being jumped on, and I wonder what percentage actually saw the programme. Garbage tv or not, it’s your opinion. Doesn’t mean you are always right. That is what forums are for, people to express opinions and for others to challenge them. Looks like some people can’t handle theirs being challenged, their only answer being to start being personal. Nice.

I haven’t said anything nasty.

I watched the program this morning, I don’t understand how one is supposed to prove to themselves that they are “over it” by getting their kit off on TV though?

Richpips – I completely agree, again, I will say that it does not and did not fix things for those participants. The only thing I have tried to promote is that 70% of the people on the programme went on it to really try and help their own self esteem.

MTT – I appreciate your clarification, as FAUXFURFOUR sounds like a school-yard bully with that comment.

Ooh, interesting, I saw this thread a few days ago & went to Iplayer to see it, TBH after 2 minutes I was bored & forwarded the the T&F, now don’t get me wrong, I like T&F, but the web can give you so much better, next time I’ll stick to the dedicated sites 😉

Seriously its degrading to your own intelligence to believe it was anything other than a rating grabber, & why do all the men have to appear to be g@y?

And I really don’t believe anyone was forced to go naked, I’m sure they couldn’t contract you to it without prior knowledge.

MissGulliver I hope it works out for them. It wouldn’t have been my choice for therapy though.

Yet maybe it was an undehand tactic to boost the failing housing market 😆

RICHPIPS – Lol, that maybe. Bet it didn’t work though!

2unfit2ride – the production companies can contract you to participate and to give them full filming rights. They start filming then tell you what’s going on, as shown on the prog, then if you want to leave, they show that bit too.

Gosh, you know a lot about the production companies…..

then if you want to leave, they show that bit too.

So you put your hand up, and say I’m off, whilst quoting Germaine Greer.

Ah so they could have left after all then.

Well they chose to go on the show for what ever reasons, then they get their glory out for all the world to see which to me isn’t a big deal getting naked. It provided entertainment for it’s target audience, caused a debate on here and some teenagers probably cracked one off to it. Everyone’s a winner then.

Lol Drac. Essentially yes.

did someone say ‘baps’? 😉

I “watched” the first half, then turned over, because I didn’t want to watch people with issues being exploited for entertainment. I expressed my opinion of the programme on here, because that’s what people do when watching TV. They also make judgements about the people on TV, based on what is shown. If you can’t handle that, can I suggest now searching out people talking about it?

I hope your sister sorts out whatever issues she has that she felt were best dealt with by going on TV. If she truly didn’t know about the naked part before the filming started, then the whole thing is even sleazier than I thought: “Hey, let’s get a load of women with serious issues and then coerce them into taking their clothes off”.

Miketually, I can handle that. Searching people out? No.

I guarantee you they didn’t know.

Should have been “not searching people out”…

I guarantee you they didn’t know.

The opening scene tells them……

I watched the money trader reality, and people walked from that.

richpips – exactly – are you watching then?

richpips – exactly – are you watching then?

Is he watching who? The people who refused to be filmed? I’d guess not.

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what your point is any more?

I watched the program this morning,

miketually – I was not writing to you, so you getting my point is not the point.

I’m not sure what your point is generally.

Are you saying we’re bad people for talking about something we saw on TV? Are you saying the production company were in the wrong for exploiting these people? Are you saying that being watched is very important, so you should never walk out on a TV programme?

So MissG would you have done it?

Did you you advise your Sis it was a wise move?

What did she expect?

No you are completely wrong on all counts and I don’t know where you got those from.

No I didn’t say you’re bad people. I said some people were just being mean for the sake of it.

I am saying it shouldn’t have had a naked end challenge, that wasn’t fair.

No, I think if you want to walk out you should. I said some people don’t have even less confidence to walk out than to do what they are being asked to do.

So, you created an account to post on a random discussion forum because…?

They weren’t allowed contact, but would have told her it wasn’t a necessary move to get naked.

I don’t know, I may have felt like I couldn’t walk as I am not that good at saying no to people in authority.

She was told it would be a psychological week, with therapy and physical challenges that most people would be scared of. They wouldn’t confirm what but the ideas were parachute jumps etc.

mike – you didn’t see her ‘6 or 8 inches of travel for Glentress?’ thread on the Bike forum?

so. what bike do you ride?

BECAUSE Miketually, YOU called them ‘screwed up’ because they have issues. I saw a link to that comment, being discussed elsewhere, and decided to join to say you are unfair in calling people srewed up.

sc xc a Summer Storm, why?

she’s got you there mike.

for reference;

and decided to join to say you are unfair in calling people srewed up.

I’m not too sure what the difference is between ‘being screwed up’ or ‘having issues’, i’d have thought they were fairly interchangeable terms.

SCREWED UP is derogatory. THAT is the difference.

And you often do this?

I can’t find the page that links to my post using Google. Any chance you remember where you saw the link?

why so you can go and give them grief for challenging you??!

No I don’t often do this. You really are very hostile.

why so you can go and give them grief for challenging you??!

Well strictly speaking without the link they’re not challenging him, but just talking behind his back 🙂

I just find it very strange behaviour.

Is the irony that you have judged me based upon one post on this forum, because I judged some people based upon ten minutes of a TV show lost on you?

Not at all, and look how much YOU don’t like it.

SCREWED UP

All of those people, like some/most of us on here and everyone else have some “issues”.

The reality is they are normal people who the TV and papers have persuaded that it’s some big thing.

Snap!

I’ll survive though. I might write “being challenged” on a door and smash it up, before walking naked down the high street.

I like being challenged, otherwise I probably wouldn’t post here 🙂

Incidentally, I believe they’re currently exploiting some office workers on BBC3 right now.
