Would you bare all on tv? - Page 2

2 of my friends were on Trisha last year,as usual the producers stirred it up and made them do things that they were not comfortable with but went along with it (eg got the fella to lay on a couch for the opening making out his lazy-when in fact he was working 12 hour shifts and looking after his daughter).They regret even asking to go on the show and cringe whenever anyone mentions it.They made a real fool out of each other.
And as for me i would never even consider doing anything of the sort,waste of time.

That ties in with what I've been told about wife swap, they told becky to not do any tidying up then make out it was her choice. It's all engineered to create interest but at the time the people involved don't realise how bad it looks on film.
Same on Changing Rooms, completely controlled by the producers and directors.

I would hate to go on Changing Rooms. Just imagine letting the likes of Laurence Llewellyn Bowen loose on your front room!

I've never watched any of this rubbish but do remember Jason appearing on here. There was an article in the 'Telegraph' earlier this week that I think refers to his ex wife/partner.

I'd love to see the result if Florence was allowed to have his way with your double bay.

The simple truth is that the people who appear on these programmes are invariably mentally deranged and socially inadequate, although no different from those desperate enough to watch 'em.

I have to watch them, until the drugs kick in and I get out of bed.

Now you have more time on your hands Tea I'll keep my eye out for you.

Can't say as I've really watched trisha or changing room, only when my ex or someone had it on in the background. I think some live such boring lives tealeaf that it a very exciting prospect to be able to appear on national tv. I'd add bored and depressed to you list.

There's no way that I would appear on one of those 'wash yer dirty linen in public' programmes. People happen do it for an all expenses paid day out, who knows??

I do know of someone who appeared on How Clean is Your House. She was told not to do any housework for 6 months prior to the show..

These shows are totally fabricated and mostly boring.

I would not bare my soul on tv and I would definitely not bare body parts. The nation would crumble with the weight of people ringing in sick...

I think that the audience might begin to scream, "Put it on,"

and ticket sales would plummet. I've done a lot of shows and a lot of silly things, but I'd prefer to do them in clothes or costume.

Regarding reality shows, no thanks! Those reality shows are just a cheap way for the television producers to sell adverts.

The programs put me in mind of the quote from Thoreau, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation....." I think every aspect of these shows reeks of desperation - the folks who appear, the folks who watch and the folks who produce.

Now, I did, quite accidentally manage to appear on Saturday Night Live. Was minding my own business, watching the people go by in Santa Monica, CA, while waiting for my wife and her mom one January afternoon, and was asked to do a "man in the street" interview for them.

I cant stand to even watch these programmes, I'm not surprised that its mostly fabricated, Trisha etc, as for the others on channel 4 last night I missed them and did want to watch them, does anyone know if there going to be repeated?

I paid money to go to a wrestling match once.....but when I got there....it was only the Jerry Springer show...........
