Isn't the big brother an actor? I've seen the accused brother on tv before, anyone know whether jk's show has ever been accused of setting up a show?

[mollykins]

I don't think so, but some of the stories are pretty unbelievable. I don't often watch it but most of the ones i've seen are a bit farfetched even for me.

That's why show like his jerry Springer etc.. are good mollykins as it sometimes shows us lifestyles and human behaviour which some of us may not have seen before.
We're a strange species sometimes.

That's why I think these shows are bad. They normalise bad behaviour and attitudes, so more people will think being a lowlife, unambitious chav is acceptable.

Hc I think the opposite, I think it shows what your life could be like if you don't get it sorted out in the early stages of whatever your issue is.

I cannot imagine why anyone would want to show up the sort of behaviour they are complaining about, on national television. I caught a bit of it tonight by mistake. Interesting when they showed the outtakes, everyone having a good giggle in the studio in between all the slagging-off on the stage.

Jerry Springer looks very contrived,they people are always smirking when they are supposed to be arguing and hitting other people. they never look upset or cry. I am sure they are bad actors. I think unfortunateoly the people on Jeremy Kyle are real. I pity the next generation ..

[SarcasticStevie]

Smurfchops I believe that originally Jerry Springer started off as a real show and then changed direction once after the first couple of fights as they realized that turning the programme into a circus would attract controversy and more viewing figures which means a lot of $$$'s
