Advantages: Daily Express-baiting madness
Disadvantages: Daily Express-baiting madness

...Everyone?s heard of the Jeremy Kyle Show (ITV 2) by now. A judge has called it a form of human bear-baiting and it recently caused another furore by ?inadvertently? broadcasting a swear word. The format is simple enough. Kyle, who looks like a cross between a particularly miffed warthog and a premiership footballer whose name I don?t know, invites contestants (?guests? is too genteel a word) onto the show to thrash out deeply personal problems in front of a TV audience of a few million, in exchange for his sagely advice and a night in a cheap hotel in Manchester with free run of the mini-bar (that?s probably not true, by the way). The problems typically consist of alcoholism, drug dependency, ?am I the real father? scenarios, ?my daughter is going off the rails? narratives, ?Mum, your being a 70-year-old stripper is quite embarrassing...

Teenage Boot Camp is also a part of the Jeremy Kyle show, teenagers and their parents are sent on bootcamp with Graham (the show psycotherapist) and a team from the show.
