Ex on the Beach

All the people complaining about this make me megalol. What were you expecting? Shakespearean drama? Die Hard action?

This is a great show if what you are looking for is fun and entertainment. Don't look too deep into it.

This is like James Bond gone wrong and Stephen Bear is Bond.

I was angered and saddened to watch this programme with my 17 year old grandson. Angered to see how cynically manipulated these empty, silly young people were by the programme makers, who are feeding and exploiting their shaky and desperate narcissistic needs. I am sad for the cast, but also sad for the young audiences who are drawn to the series, and encouraged to think that this is a normal, even healthy way of relating to other people. The programme makers must know that that they are appealing to the most vulnerable and deprived in our society. I wonder if they would think it good nourishment for their own children. I doubt it.

Okay so let's acknowledge this for what it is. A stupid reality tv show. And reality tv is entertaining. Obviously, the people on this show have a few screws loose and they're not the brightest, but there's a lesson everyone can learn from this show. When you're in a relationship, don't cheat, don't be fake and most importantly tell the truth! Because the one thing I've learned from this show is the truth will find you one way or another. The producers had dirt on everybody. Hopefully all the contestants learned their lessons because dang. That was a whole lot of baggage.

Ex On The Beach: Proof positive that people who believe they are really, really good looking are relentlessly self-absorbed, sex obsessed narcissists who treat other people like crap in order to get what they want.

And from what I've seen thus far, they don't have much going on upstairs. Besides their own self image and how to get in someone else's pants, of course.

Yet they're getting paid to behave deplorably in a nice, warm country, while TV cameras record their every move. In the name of what? Are we supposed to live our lives vicariously through these people? Or is this the new low that is lowest common denominator television?

I have been forced to sit through this god-awful show because my teenage kids find it entertaining. I really do despair, I thought I'd raised them better than that. It's enough to make me want to cancel my television licence, sell the telly and replace it with something useful, like a big toilet.

This is just another nail in the coffin of TV entertainment. John Logie Baird must be turning in his grave to see his incredible invention being abused in such a fashion.

Another horribly trashy stupid TV series from the masters of teenage exploitation. The put sixteen people in a beach house with all the sex, drugs, and alcohol they can manage, and then drop in their ex-lovers for pointless fighting and drama. Boring!
