Young, Dumb, and Living off Mum BBC3

Child of a divorce, dad treats her like a little princess x10 and caves in for everything. Mmmm.... judgementalness rocks

Last episode I felt the dad definetly had a plan to make sure Dogan or Nikki got kicked instead of his princess, stick em together than ask the most arrogant one of the two who did the most work, knowing full well how the other would react...

(Dogan is a little bastard who needs to be shot for the good of mankind, and his names stupid)

Or maybe he put them together because he wanted to see if they were actually capable of putting their arguments aside and doing a job?

Which they were, so that worked. Then he messed it all up... curse him! They did better than the other team and lost less money...
 
I enjoyed last night's episode and I think it was right Sean went as he was capable, just obviously lazy and apathetic at home.

Danielle is my favourite, but I don't see how she could win and she has struggled on the show and setting off round the world would be quite a challenge. I thought it was sad that she didn't complete school and now seems to have no direction in life. She seems like a nice enough girl.

I think she is more deserving as Dina and Dogan's family have a bit of money already, and Danielle's seem the more normal. Maybe winning the trip would be the making of her, but she does seem very young.

The rules of the show are to vote off the most useless, they've consistently not done that. So it looks like its more a case of certain parents being better at arguing there sprogs arent little shits
 
How the fuck that big haired thicko is still there is beyond me too, especially after her latest toys out of pram swearing escapade and her truly useless 'Princess Di was murdered by driving into the Eiffel Tower' presentation

Dojan's a useless piece of shit too, with his mum always far too forgiving of his endless failures and tendency to act like a loudmouth bully. I actually felt a bit sorry for wet Sean, who gave his all and was rewarded by being sent home, leaving two greater incompetents who haven't learnt as much to be eligible for the not inconsiderable round the world travel prize.

I suspect Di's the only vaguely deserving winner. I'm also beginning to wonder if they're realised the flaw in their plans and are thus bringing back all the parents for the final voting to avoid the most vociferous parents getting their own way. I knew, from one look at Sean's equally wet mother, that she'd concede and see her son going home.
 
I think this TV show should be called "I've been a terrible parent and in a bid to make myself look better I'm going to embarrass my teen on TV".

Fuck this show. And fuck the failed yet smugly superior "parents".

Srsly.
 
I watched some of the first episode on iPlayer, thinking it'd be too car-crashy, but potentially interesting. And it was interesting until they showed one of the girls coming back drunk and yelling at another one (Dina, I think) and then it got too Big Brother. Most of the kids seemed clueless rather than brats (though some of them were) and that really miserable one who just hated everything, I reckon needs treatment for depression - she's living off mum because she feels she can't deal with the world.

Been watching it and I have to agree... Last episode (Sunday's) was quite interesting, when the spoilt rich kid had to do some teaching in a school and it turned out he had been expelled from lots of schools and his parents didn't even think of maybe using some of their money to get him a good education - idiots!!!

The poor guy was gutted about not having learned all the skills you get from schooling and all his mother could do was cry when she realised how badly she and her husband fucked their son's life up by neglecting his education.
 
It's pretty laughable that the parents judge the kids in this show. Even the most annoying of the kids I feel really sorry for them - some of the parents really should be doing time for neglect.
 
I couldn't support the one that won. Her make up just made me rant at the tv. :o

Only saw two episodes so I don't know any names. Sill entertained by this thread though.
 
dont know if ill watch the final episode..i wasnt too keen on danielle

i think either the alkie girl from devon or 25 year old:eek:nikki could have done with winning cos they both seriously needed to grow up/push and challenge themselves.
that trip could have helped them do so!!..the fact the they both are going back to mum..i find it REALLY sad TBH.yes i do blame their parents but both have some mental health issues as well:(

danielle is still young enough where she has a lot more of a hope to grow out of being helpless and a catered for princess.

dogan i thought will do fine in life.he has a bad temper and is a bit aggressive but if he contols that he will be ok.he showed loads of confidence on most of the tasks as did sean.compare the boys with that devon girl who was scared to talk to customers:(

normally i hate progs like this and found some of the car crash aspects of this painful to watch..i started watching cos it reminded me of an old younger flatmates uni freinds(spoiled rich kids who lived at home who were annoying clueless about EVERYTHING)i still cant believe researchers find ppl as scarey/sad/extreme as nikki willing to go on teevee. how much do they offer to pay them?
 
Th final episode was good. I think Danielle was a deserving winner. From the sounds of it she left school at 14 and then did nothing. Her mum said she rearely went out, just stayed in her room. She seemed like a nice sort of girl, unlike Nikki who imo was just lazy and awful. Dina & Dogan will both do well in life and their parents can help fund them. It would be interesting to see Danielle when she came back from the round the world trip. I hope she does well!
 
just watched a bit of the final show..i had gotten the names mixed up:o

danielle was the person i called "the alkie girl from devon"
yeah definately of the 3 left i think she was the deserving winner..and as she is only 18 there is hope she can change and mature.
