Ok but it doesn’t really qualify you to denounce the entire programme as lacking intelligence !

Lucca I've, out of curiosity, glanced at their " over the top " reactions when they're viewing. Why do they get so carried away like that ? Which is why I don't watch it.

yes, I believe guidance is given. ...Loads apply to go on it so they don't take just anybody .

I don't really know if it is scripted but I imagine some guidance is given.

From what I have been told by friends who have appeared on various shows, I think guidance is usually given.

Blind Date with Cilla Black comes to mind - a man I worked with went on the show and he said everything was not completely off the cuff. Guidance was given and it was not filmed entirely in one take.

This is only what I've been told. I have no real experience.

I don’t suppose it’s scripted, but it’s probably edited.

No idea, but they haven't got much between their ears. I don't watch it.

How do you know if you don’t watch it ?
The Siddiqis for one are very intelligent !

I don’t know honeyrose but it was only a snapshot of them watching it, their conclusions may have been different after the whole thing.
I love Googlebox, makes me lol.

I love watching Gogglebox, but I do wonder whether it is scripted or whether it’s the actual opinions of the families featured. I was watching it last night and obviously THE Interview with Harry and Meghan was featured. All of the families/couples seemed to think that Harry & Meghan were in the right and had a genuine axe to grind over their treatment by the Royals. Which lead me to wonder whether the families/couples were told to side with H&M. Not sure whether I’m being rather cynical, but I can’t help wondering. What do you think?
