Sinking to new depths
By default I'm placing this in the Entertainment section as I must follow forum rules but if anyone can call this entertaining then how much more can tv companies scrape the barrel?
The host refers to it as "the ultimate reality show".
Wonderful.

Re: Sinking to new depths
That's a disgrace, I wonder how long it will take to creep over this side of the Atlantic.

Re: Sinking to new depths
That is sick. I can only believe that Social Services in this country would never allow such a disgusting pantomime to play out involving UK couples/babies. There would be nothing to stop the American show being aired here though.

Re: Sinking to new depths
eek!
how come every new reality tv show is the 'ultimate' - surely, logically, the 'ultimate reality show' will be turning off the tv and having a life  .. in other words, experiencing 'reality' - for real! 
i notice as well they have chosen quite a photogenic girl to be giving away the child - adoption can cause problems for a child's attachment style, which can cause serious problems later in life anyway - let alone when it is done in front of a live studio audience!
I think a verdict of 'just plain wrong' applies here!

Re: Sinking to new depths
Maybe someone should go over there and explain the difference between a HiFi and a child as they plainly do not know. If it aired over here I for one will not be watching it...
Absulutely disgusting

Re: Sinking to new depths
Well I'm sure the child, when he/she grows up will be happy to know that it's sad, unfortunate domestic situation made good tv for whatever network, plus ensured good advertising revenue for them in the ad breaks.....

Re: Sinking to new depths
what a weird view of morality the USA have - to condone something as cruel as this, but act like the world has ended because Janet Jackson flashed a boob

Re: Sinking to new depths
It's at times like this that I wonder if a free 'press' is really something that is desirable
This is just sickening...

Re: Sinking to new depths
There should be a law against this kind of ****ing **** being made (sorry bout the language, but this makes me very angry)
None of them deserve to be parents. The CSA should take the kid off whomever wins straight away

I don't know about that. What I find disturbing is that the channel has no problem in exploiting these people's undoubtedly very strong wish to have a child for ratings/revenue. I'm just sorry for the people that will make a mockery off themselves on national? tv.
