    Nearly any reality tv shows are the low points of tv. But it's not the producers fault, they're pandering to the wants of the brainless masses. I think these tv shows are not low points in tv, they're low points in humanity. Geordie Shore, Big Brother, any of the traveller reality shows, they're all cancer for the eyes and brain.

    They should have used the money they spent on plastic surgery for some sessions with a psychiatrist.

    It's not really fair to exploit what is clearly an illness. I wouldn't have an issue with the idea of the TV show in general actually - but one look at that mutant extra terrestrial pair and it's clear that something is very, very wrong with them.

    I can't believe anyone would tune in to this, let alone a studio offer money/equipment to follow these fools around.

    Are my expectations for humans too high?

    Disclaimer: I do realize this is Channel 5 we're talking about - but I'm just wondering is there any other car-crash-shows worse than this!

    why do I have to click on a link to find out what you are on about??

    "When Kayla told me that she wanted a boob job and plastic surgery, I was glad because I wanted her to be that kind of person," Georgina told the show.


    This is the mother talking. Christ.

    maybe the lips offer added suction effects.
    maybe what they lack in aesthetics is compensated by practical attributes ..


    I dunno ....I'd still be wary

    She also said she was delighted when her 18 year-old daughter landed a 50 year-old sugar daddy.

    FFS, that is just creepy.

    Let people be people and do what they want.

    They are not harming anyone and allowing thier plastic surgeon to buy that gold plated rocket car he always wanted.

    Are there actually men out there who find this whole look attractive? Maybe not the extreme example in the op but the general facebook/instagram selfie stuff of makeup, peroxide hair, duckface etc. To me it just looks awful, it might catch my eye for a second on the internet but once I actually look at the pic I think it emphasises the 'un-prettyness' rather than hiding it, even though the girl herself could actually be pretty without it

    There are men who will go for this look because this look basically says "I'll shag you for money"

    It'd be cheaper, and more realistic, to buy a blow up doll if your that desperate for a shag.

    I don't necessarily mind parents paying for their kids to have surgery like that (so long as said kid is over 18 and aware they are being spoiled rotten in terms of cost) but a boob job is not a "kind of person". I meant seriously!? :confused:

    How about Goggle Box. It's a tv show where the viewer watches people watching tv.... That's the lowest point.

    Can't stand TV and the ****e they drive into the minds of people. Yeah theirs some good tv shows, but Christ, the other 95% is cancer to the brain. That's including ads which is why I avoid channels. Give me a streaming service any day of the week or downloads. No bull****.

    I find it to be strangely ok-ish background TV actually. By that I mean when I'm actively doing something online or cooking or cleaning or whatnot, it's inoffensive. Probably scripted too, but meh, could be worse. I guess it's just less annoying because the people on it are not jumping up and down for constant attention like on X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent, etc (and that's before you even get to the contestants).

    They're jumping up and down for constant attention on this still, they're just doing it with surgery instead of their voices.
