Trisha : your opinions?

[Samantha0]

I adore this chat show. I think she has a lot of good advice to people.

What is YOUR opinion on it?

[dukas]

If you like what the population of Britain's housing estates are up to then it si a good programme.

It certainly makes you appreciate what you have.  However, it does also serve to annoy me at times because it makes you realise how many lazy people there are out there and what all my hard-earned taxes are going on!

[londondave]

full of the worst scum that life can give us!

[daddyg]

Hilarious. She's as much of a plum as the scum she lets on. Her advice is alot of pony about counsellors and the "Trisha team". She always acts like she's tough and is down with the kids. Check out how many times per series she says to some poor woman who's getting abused "Have you heard the Destinys Child song Independent Woman?" That's the only one she knows. I'm sure her daughters must have told her about it once and she's used it ever since. The muppet.

Having stumbled across it once or twice whilst channel hopping I have to say it gives a marvellous insight as to what the terminally unemployed and young criminals actually do during daylight hours.

[Sproutstick]

Ha ha ha!!! daddyg'* *** the nail on the head there!!  She really DOES always make reference to 'Independant Woman' by Destiny's Child.  Oh God that is hilarious!!!  Well spotted!

She also always says, "I used to be really fat like you, but I just went on a diet" or something equally patronising.  Whatever the situation she thinks she's been there, done it and worn the T-Shirt.  In fact, when off work sick it's my main motivation for returning as soon as possible!!!

[littleoldme]

Lol. I'm glad Sproutstick's noticed how she claims to have always had the same problem as her hapless chav guests, no matter how unlikely it may be. "I know when MY husband ran off with a three-legged circus midget..."

[londondave]

Chav. HAHA I love that word. Do a search on Argos homepage for chav and see what comes up, it is funnny. When I was off sick I saw a 40 something football hooligan trying to teach a 18 year old the same ways. Both in their Burburry old mans cap from small town with their small minds. Innit. Yeah. Na wot I mean.

I got 4 Trilldren by 6 blokes innit, Eee finks I cheated on im or somefink innit. But ee stole the remolt controll so i cudnt wotch the tele. and eee tells me I am fat Trish, but eee spends is dole down the pub and I aint got no money for the leccy.

It just proves that there is indeed an underclass right here in the country.  "aww what about the poor little baby?" is also a phrase trotted out on every other show when she does the DNA tests - some of these people must have sex with paper bags over their heads.  I often wonder if they bother taking off their saggy tracksuit bottoms and put down their bag of chips before doing it.  (note to self: To Buy or Not to Buy is on BBC1, please watch it)

[hopalong]

It Should be renamed the DNA and Lie Detector show.  That's all it's about these days.   If someone doubts  he's a  father to a child then lets him pay for a DNA test himself and relationships are built on trust.  If someone doesn't trust his/her partner then just leave.

Head over to http://www.chavscum.co.uk/culture.php and check out the 'television' catagory! think that just about says it all!  While your there check out the rest of the site - its genius!

[tigga]

I hope you dont go as far as my ex did about trisha !.

She was an absolute crank - every argument she would say ' well trisha says .........'

That really did my haed in- so glad im rid of her now- not been able to watch the show since lol.

[andy hughes]

It's on my list of avoided programmes because it's not entertaining or educational or amusing, and I'm trying to stop rotting my brain. I feel sad that TV panders to a 'Heavens above!' audience in this way - it's one step above bear baiting, and it's made worse by the holir-than-thou notion that it contains any level of social redemtion. Or, to put it another way, it's big pants!

[chaff]

showcases the UK equivalent of US trailer trash. Absolute crap spouted by a psychobabble host,passed off as expert advice. makes Gerry Springer look professional....

[slimjim]

So, in answer to your Q, Samantha0, I think I can safely say that most people on this site do not agree!

[loobyloo]

It's horrendous - why would anyone choose to go on national television to show to reveal their extra-marital gay love affair etc?  If you're needing life advice from Tricia then you really are in trouble.

[secretspirit]

I love it but it is car crash TV and (unlike most participants on the show) I work full time so I hardly ever get the joyous chance to watch it!

 

Every time I see it the story is either 'My younger lover is too immature to be a Dad' where a 30 odd year old who already has 6 kids moans that her 19 year old boyfriend of 1 year is rubbish with their new baby. Or 'Dad you're making a fool of yourself' where a stick thin teenage chav berates her gold covered toothless father for shacking up with an ex-prostitute who's only after his compo.
