Crying on tv

[trionam]

x factor masterchef all those type of programmes why all the tears does anyone else think there is too much crying on tv now,even the home decor ones they cry when they see their sitting room painted.Just want to know am I being a bit harsh?

[erin-x]

Your not being harsh... My mum is here watching big brother and one girl was in near hysterics because her pal got evicted :| so annoying.

Melinda Messenger drives me mental with her boo hooing on Cowboy Builders.
I mean, what is she crying about?

[scotman]

It's a sign of the times. People are investing more and more into less and less.

[ummmm]

I would like to say that I wouldn't cry...but I probably would.

[RATTER15]

Some people are just very sensitive I guess.

One of my mates was on x factor supporting her friend and she was full on blubbing when the camera cut to backstage.. She's such a hard nut too.. I found it really funny :)

Tulisa Contostavlos's tears tonight on Xfactor I found very genuine and moving given the history. I do agree that some seem very over the top, but occasionally I join in.

[Prudie]

I suppose if you are a contestant or taking part in a show your nerves are in top gear so crying is a likely relese BUt I did think the judge whatshername that cried on x factor tonight because she was reminded of her mother was schmaltzy and unnecessary so I'd agree with you there.

[Prudie]

Oh dear perhaps I don't know the whole story?

[trionam]

Im a sensitive person but seriously sometimes I just cant take anymore of the big instrumentals and then the tears its just too much,masterchef for example you overcooked your beef life will go on!Xfactor 10 times worse you've got 4 kids and you havent sang for a while its time to cry.

[chrissa1]

I agree trionam. Has the mother of Tulisa died? If so, I can understand her tears.

For Prudie

Chrissa, she hasnt died. To be honest I am a sap but I thought her tears were a wee bit OTT. Maybe she had a bad day and I shouldnt be too harsh but I felt like flinging a wine bottle at the tv at that point!

[trionam]

Dont know chrissa1 and if thats the case of course shes genuine but its not just that kelly blubs at the drop of a hat too,I also wondered off subject when louis said to the fella you auditioned last year.I dont believe they remember them at all.

[chrissa1]

Oh dear mamma, I think she does have a reason to cry.

[Prudie]

Thank you mamya, I hadn't heard of Tulisa. She's had a tough time but I must admit I was expecting it to say her mother had died which she hasn't.

[askyourgran]

Reality TV is rubbish it's all geared to bring out OTT behaviour tantrums and tears. We used to be a nation of stiff upper lips in control of our emotions, but we've been Americanised with all their schmooze and smaltz.

[chrissa1]

Well I think this could be just as bad as her mother dying to be honest.

[Mamyalynne]

Her tears were at the loss of the wonderful life her mother could have had, with her beautiful voice.

[erin-x]

That's what my dad says AYG... We've been Americanised... His particular hate is "Oh my gawd!".. We never used to say it seemingly haha x
