The Baby Borrowers

[zipadeedodah]

There was abit off fuss before this started, saying the teenagers shouldn't be given other people's children to look after. Has anyone been watching it? If so, what did you think of it?

I didn't really see a problem with them having the kids to look after. The parents could watch close by, and for the smaller ones there was a nanny or someone there just in case. Some of the teenagers were absolutely awful - Sam comes to mind as being top of the list.

Any opinions on the programme?

i midded the majority of this programme but i saw the last one when they teens looked after o.a.p's. i thought this was unfair at times as i felt the o.a.p's must have felt awkward at times with the ways the teens acted towards them. but some of the teens and the o.a.p's really got on so this was good. xx

Raisha needs a slap and sterilising!
Sam too!

Agree about Reisa. Sam's just a spoilt brat as well. The lads are nice blokes - far better off without the girls, if you ask me.

I don't think the children were in any danger as, like you say, they were watched all the time, and there was a trained nanny staying in each house for all but the teenagers.

I felt quite sorry for the old gent who stayed with Sam and Alex, because she virtually ignored him, yet when Alex took the time to listen to him, he had such a lot to tell people, and I could see Alex really admired the chap.

The only time I considered Raiesa to have an ounce of decency in her was when she got on well with the sweet OAP she had with her. Her attitude was appalling.

Alex came across well, and you could tell he actually put in alot of effort with all the kids and the OAP. Sam was like another 5 year old he had to cope with.

I grew to really like Fisnik and Ava in the last few of episodes.

ive only seem the one with the oaps and thought it was hillarious, apart from when sam and alexs 'jack' was up beofre them and asked if he could please have a cup of tea - that was sooo sad. reicha's oap was so full of life, she was great fun by the looks of it.

My husband tells me there was an interview with Fisnik, Ava, Reisa and Kallai on BBC Breakfast the other morning.

Fisnik and Ava said that Margaret, 'their' OAP, has been a great help to them since filming ended. They seem to have developed quite a close relationship with her.

I watched all of the shows. The parents were very brave to hand their children over (even if they were down the road watching), I'd never do that with my kids.

I like the way Fisnik changed, I hope Alex dumped Sam, she was the biggest kid to handle out of all of them!

Did you watch the very last show katangel? Alex did indeed dump Sam afterwards. Kallai and Raiesa and Lauren and Ryan also broke up. Fisnik and Ava seemed happy together, and I missed what happened to Carl and his girlfriend.....
