Folks, this is a reality show. Which means it is heavily scripted, rehearsed, and the “ordinary people and situations” are contrived to gin up ratings. I’m certainly not defending this snotty Brit, but in the article it does state he was told to ham it up for the cameras.
If you want to blame anyone, blame the producers of tripe like this. Then blame yourself for watching it.
Absolutely agree. In a 75 year lifespan there are ~657,000 hours, total. Most of us who are working have at best 3-6 hours a day that aren't spoken for by required activities (at best). Why in the world would you use that time to watch reality show ‘tripe’, as you put it. (yes, I know I am using some of that precious time on freerepublic, but at least it's informative and can be productive).
“He” said he was told to ham it up. If that was acting he would have a dozen Oscars. You can’t act that well. He was for real. We saw the show and he was the most disgusting, foul, snobbish foreigner there ever was. Mr. G commented at the time that people might physically attack him. The guy was/is a appalling. How the wife puts up with him is beyond me. She runs a weight loss counseling business and all the husband did was put down the other wife for being over weight. I wouldn’t surprise me if his comments cause the business to go under. Words can not describe the disgust I feel for that slime.
My neighbor is a British elitist snob and sounds exactly like this guy, no camera needed. The more people exposing these people’s true attitudes to the world, the better IMO.
