Jeremy Kyle

    I've been off work for a few weeks and have got into watching Jeremy Kyle on a daily basis.

    For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would go on such a programme. Their private lives are broadcasted on national TV and they leave themselves open for abuse/humiliation/ridicule from Kyle himself.

    I understand the guests get some payment but surely it can't be worth it.

    If you don't watch it you won't get vexed about how humans degrade themselves so much .

    I'm not getting 'vexed' I just can't understand why someone would put themselves in that position.

    I may be wrong. But some might do it for the money.. they dont care about the national humiliation.

    They get paid 100 sterling per person plus expenses to appear on the show, it's scripted to a point and also heavily edited.

    There's been several law suits against the production company.

    Given some of the AH threads & discussions in the past, perhaps Mr. Kyle would be considered tame in comparison.

    You know you live in a bad area when you see him in it with a net.

    Yep. Some great clips on there. "Can you even spell Father?" is a particular favourite of mine.

    Wasn't the bould Jeremy caught cheating on his wife?

    Some people just need a way to vent themselves in public..

    Americans have Jerry, English have Jeremy and we have Joe.

    Well, Joe is a saint compared to the other two cretins;).

    I think Jerry is more honest that it is for entertainment purposes only. Kyle pretends that he is trying to help the people on the show.

    I know a girl who wanted to on it to get her child and boyfriend back. Very low intelligence and desperation are a terrible mix.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,372 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    The guests are probably a dentist's worst nightmare


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,063 ✭✭✭Greenmachine


    Race to the bottom for the guests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,234 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    If you are on welfare, ugly as pure sin, uneducated and ignorant, a junky/alcoholic and missing several teeth then you too could avail of the opportunity to appear on JK.

    Where do they advertise for guests? They're all quite scary.

    Most of them are skangers, they don't care how they look on the show, it's money for a few more cans of Dutch Gold.

    Jeremy Kyle is an egotistical gobsheet.

    "Put something on the end of it"in a voice filled with contempt followed by rapturous applause. Almost every episode I've seen. Strangely compelling. People with a nauseating sense of entitlement coupled with zero self esteem.TV gold.

    What's got 20 faces and 3 teeth?

    An episode of the Jeremy Kyle show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,901 ✭✭✭Mince Pie


    I can't watch it. I find it utterly depressing and just cannot fathom how popular it is. Only time I've been subjected to it is at work in a breakroom and its always on with people frothing at the mouth watching it. I'd rather stick rusty spoons in my eyes than subject myself to watching pondlife on the TV and that's just describing Vile himself. Odious little man.

    Compelling is correct. I watch it every day now for the same reasons.
