Location, Location, Location - always posh?

I can't be bothered to find the other thread, and Pastures doesn't seem to be around tonight for her normal sterling commentary.

Why is everyone they feature on this show:

a) loaded
b) posh
c) pretty much completely unlikable
d) always a couple with a horsey woman who hates every house and treats their fella like a woodlouse.

This weeks show is a posh army man and posh army wife with posh kids all called names like Beatrice, Charles, Tarquin and Clitoris and the other is a relatively young couple who have outgrown their 1-bed flat and want the next step up the ladder... to a house costing £500,000 (although we all know they'll find one for £640,000 that they love and will still get).

I quite like the idea of this show, but it'd be a lot more interesting if they had some different 'types' of people every now and again.

    That`s what wrong with so many things. Broadcasting that kind of utter tripe. It deserves to be sent to the dungeon along with I`m Simple Come Dancing, Big Brother, anything to do with Kirsty women and that dreadful Scottish women that seems to have pleasure gazing at fat peoples stools.

    I'm working on the basis that any word not auto-censored by Mr Lewis is a-okay, and this includes scientific terms such as clitoris. I plan to use 'vulva' in a post next week.

    Anywho, the economy hey, what's that all about?

    I quite like the show. I'd just like a bit of variety in the 'contestants'.

    If you're fat you'd be better off with a chair. More support for your back.

    They did have a nice couple on a couple of weeks ago - the one where the woman of the couple lost her legs following the 7/7 bombing and needed a bungalow. She was amazingly positive and they both seemed lovely, a total change to my normal thinking which is "please don't move within 100 miles of me", still the woman from the other couple made up for it by behaving like a spoilt brat.

    I stand completely corrected, they were really lovely.

    However, whilst I don't want to sound like an eternal cynic, do you think that maybe a producer went 'Shall we get someone nice on this week? Maybe a bit of a rewarding story instead of someone posh buying a mansion? Might be good for the ratings?'.

    But you're right though, they were a nice couple.

    I shall name my first child 'Clitoris' - wonderful, Cleaver!

    Thanks for another manic laugh-out-loud that must make my neighbours think I'm bats (I live alone).
