I have a 20 year old daughter.
She’s away at uni now but I was forced to watch this a couple of years ago when she was still home doing A Levels.
It is utterly addictive and I got sucked in. The problem for me is that the only reason people are on is for publicity. Some contestants are clearly intelligent and talented like Camilla or Dr Alex last year but this all goes out of the window for the sake of reality shallowness.
My daughter can make her own choices but I would be disappointed if having worked so hard at school and uni she sacrificed all that for the reality tv dollar.

I really don't like reality TV either but if I'm honest I liked celebs go dating, all of them have been fun except Gemma Collins, who always makes my piss boil, she manages to ruin everything.
But the commentary by that toothy comedian is very funny.
Not sure if it's classed as reality TV but First Dates is also very watchable.
I will try and watch Love Island at least just to see if Harty's daughters bedsheet goes up and down like a snake charmers basket lid.

I can't stand 'reality' TV - I'd rather watch a turned off, blank TV screen.
But this thread could 'have legs'

Yes, that's pretty much what I predicted a few posts back. And I'm sorry but I just don't buy Harty's defiant battle call to the media. Struggling to see the positives.

Each to their own and all that, and I'm sure it makes for compulsive viewing, but I'm not sure it's something to be proud of.

Same. All for supporting your kids in whatever they decide to do in life. But allowing your nan and grandad to pay for your boob job sits a bit uneasy with me. Seems to me more than a wee bit creepy. Tho as you say, each to their own.
Just hope this thread is allowed to run its natural course by NSC mods and is not locked due to any pressure by the contestant's family.

100% guaranteed that (unless she happens to win) she'll come out of the process bleating that she's been exploited by the programme makers.
Same as it ever was. I blame the parents. And also in this case the grandparents.

Quite right.
If she goes on and it's promoted who she is then like all the other contestants will go through the usual hammering as has been the case since it started, the fact she is the daughter of someone on here just makes its bit more interesting.
I have not watched it before but you can't escape what's going on.
I will watch a couple of episodes then give up unless something 'interesting' happens regarding Amy.
Really? How many have said that? Most contestants who have come out have invariably earnt a lot of money from various things. I have a mate that works at one of the agency that manages people that come out of these shows and the majority are happy and well looked after. Turns out you can easily earn £250k+ a year from nightclub appearances for a couple of years and then if you invest your earnings wisely set yourself up nicely for a while. But not all do - some take the quick money as soon as they come out and easily go back into what they were doing.
Or you could just stick to a mundane job on £25k a year

Everyone keeps talking about it, so will watch and see what the fuss is about.

...and so it begins.
I hope she does well and comes out of it looking good, but I can't help feeling you're right.

Nail on head.
Do alright, earn yourself some easy money on the nightclub / TV circuit for a short time and then invest it in something that will either allow you to live out a few dreams or set yourself up for a comfortable future.
Don't forget, for all the stick he gets on here sometimes, Harty is a successful businessman in his own right and I'm sure has given her some fatherly advice on the matter.

Quite amazing how so many people who go on and on about how awful this type of TV is and that they never ever watch it and never will are going to watch it.
