The Social

This talk show is an embarrassment to Canadian television. They used to focus on real interesting events, and then it toppled down to their own personal agendas and fun times - who cares?!

Even when the topics are bearable, their ecstatic overblown personalities are just way too much. Ladies, tone it down a notch, or two or... Stop yelling, lay off the caffeine, we can hear you! The only one I can take serious and don't cringe listening to is the latest addition to the panel - Marci. Had all these ladies gave off that persona of professionalism/fun, I could take this show seriously. But that annoyance of on screen presence that hurt my ears every time she opens her mouth - Jess Allen... please PLEASE mute her out or get her to get off that coffee/(?) high, she is way too much and unbearable with that irritating high pitched squeal of a voice. Uggghhh.

2/10 (+3 added for Marci, -6 deducted for Jess = 2/10)

If you ever had to worry about whether television is pandering to the lowest of the low, then it goes lower, then this is the show for you.

From the "AH, A, HO HA DEE DAH" brash disco rave theme music, to the SCREAMING over hyped audience who, as I can attest to first hand, are told to SHRIEK louder than the caps lock on my keyboard at everything that these hosts say, their formula is so preposterously annoying and grating that it makes you suicidal even watching a minute of these vacuous ninny hammered, zero grade twits read their Facebook posts out loud.

It would be almost understandable if the hosts were in their teens and they were doing an amateur high school interpretation of The View, but these are women in their 40's. They have stretched this nonsense out over 1000 episodes, presumably because ti allows for an hour long infomercial of already paid hosts who are under contract. Win Win for the network.

I am certain that there is some form of extreme torture beyond water-boarding and I think I have found it. Put this on DVR on continuous loop and watch even the strongest, most mentally resilient person on the planet crack within minutes.

I promise, as god is my witness that I will celebrate beyond everything that is possible when finally, they cancel this intellectually withering insufferable garbage fire of a show.

Please, for the love of god, make it stop.

I was at the hairdressers a few weeks back and she had this nonsense on the tv. They were talking about racism in Canada. With no facts or anything to substantiate the claim, they launched into a rant about how they think most racism occurs in rural Canada. How ironic that racism exists because of misconceptions and a belief that one is better than other people for various reasons. That's exactly what they did on their tv show, claim superiority over rural Canada with no facts. Dangerous, irresponsible and incredibly disrespectful.

This program should post a disclaimer at the beginning stating that it is for entertainment only! Tabloid TV at best!!

The Social used to be watchable for certain guests and topics, but it's become unbearable now. Mostly due to Lainey Lui having lost her integrity. It is clearly evident she's become a paid schill for Meghan Markle, and as a result she has become shrill, snarky, and snide about all other members of the British Royal Family, other than Meghan and Harry. As Lainey herself would say, "It's not a good look." Many Canadians who make up the audience for the Social were brought up to have a deep respect for the Monarchy. And while we might agree that some traditions could be modernized, many of us aren't thrilled with the way Lainey promotes those changes in too radical and rude ways. She's lost the plot in her fervant stanning over MM for a paycheque, thus, she has lost all credibility on every topic. She just seems like a nasty mercenary nowadays. Ditch the Social, and Lainey, CTV!
