Is it too much to ask/expect that participants of reality /light entertainment programmes speak in a normal tone of voice without elongated emphasis.

It is also catching on in real life and it seems to be the thing now to speak in a high pitched tone & draw out & emphasise parts of each word, as in: Hellooow,Goodbyyyyye, Enjooooyyy
Soooooo Goooood, Ahhhhhh
Bleeeeese ,Cooooool etc.
Or am I just being a boooooooring Grumpy Old Woman.?

Gritting your teeth is not recommended at our age. We need all the enamel we can hang onto.

That's probably why I ended up with two crowns OldMeg!

Referring back to your OP, I don't think that their ' reality' is my reality either hmm

Why do people want to be grumpy? If something is irritating and you can avoid it, it is not essential, e.g. TV, then just don't watch it.

I rarely watch the TV before 8:00p.m. I am using GN more atm as my "entertainment" as I have damaged my back and cannot get out and about or do the garden.

Agree it is different if you cannot avoid something that causes irritation but mostly we have choice!
