Don’t get me started on Take Me Out.
No likey! No lighty! Are the few most annoying words to pierce my ear drums on a Saturday evening. Guessed what I’m talking about yet? Correct, ITV’s ‘Take Me Out’. Evening television in the UK is already deteriorating dramatically, though we have now officially hit rock bottom. This show is nearly as full of fake tan and big hair as ‘The only way is Essex’, though it’s slightly odd how the producers decided to send the couples, to a make believe island: The Island of Fernado.
The 30 girls who appear every week on the show, reek with desperation that the next contestant may chose them. Although a few of them have been standing there every Saturday for over 12 weeks now; isn’t that pathetic? I also refuse to believe that host, Paddy McGuinness's, chat-up-lines keep even a single person amused; as he is as funny as a toothache. All in all the show is as tarty as a Mr. Kipling’s fines, though not as sweet. In my opinion a babbling bundle of baboons is more articulate than the women who take part; so then wouldn’t Jordan and Amy Childs be the perfect contestants? In theory yes, though maybe they are just too incomprehensible. Now it’s obvious that this show is defiantly not, full of good role models but a small collection of Barbie dolls. So then why is it so popular? Maybe it makes people feel good about the fact that their IQ is at least in double digits, or that they don’t have to sell themselves to get a date. Though to be honest after a week at work, some mind-numbing drivel helps people relax as it does not need to involve thinking.
