I've been watching it for few a weeks, the impression I get is its part of scrote rite of passage, you're a nobody if you haven't been on the show. And I'm sure some of the scrotes are acting out 'problems or attitudes' to ensure their 5 miniutes of fame.
But it also does a good job in teaching them some normal moral standards that you would expect to find in a normal 6 years old.
But today was a good show, two useless scrote couples, could hardly speak and every sentence ended with 'innit', totally devoid of morals, in and out of prison, they were white but had adopted the stunted language of young london blacks. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was dead by the end of the week, and I wouldn't consider it a loss.
Apparently Jeremy Kyle has a weird fetish, he licks his mobile phone all over, would you like to borrow his mobile?
