Trip Advisor - Channel 4 @ 2100 Tonight (31 Oct)

What a SAD bunch of 'reviewers' they were! I bet they got a little (no, I can't write that). Get a life for goodness sake.

As for the supermarket 'manager', so your gran got a tonic instead of a lemonade. Wow, how dare they!!!! Life ends here.

Bloody jerks.

Did anyone else find it odd that the programme was trying to paint reviewers in such a light they they were ruining small businesses - Yet, the show probably did more to ruin those businesses than Trip Advisor ever could.

Just a thought.

Missed it but by the sounds of it that's not a bad thing.

Nope think it just highlighted that there are two sides to every story, Im kinda curious why people dont address these problems at the time rather than jumping online to moan about their stay, again the keyboard warrior syndrome.

Also had to chuckle when "stu.bec" and his "friend" were lead into that room, wonder how long it took them to push those two single beds together for a bit of spooning, blimey now theres a mental image i didnt need.

Some could suggest some TA reviewers are exacting revenge on the hotel proprietors who pay professional photographers to 'soup up' their establishment - making a silk purse out of a pigs ear if you like.

People may consider that TA reviewers who 'embellish' their experiences are no different.

Did that Stupid bloke with his granny really expect the hotel to change the duvet cover every day ? Just because he had a "skin condition" ? Brain condition more like, as in, lack of. He was a prize plonker, god help the woman that ends up with him (not very likely though is it ?) He was so smug when they brought him tonic instead of lemonade. I'd have poured it over his head. Review that, you !!!!!!.

We always "sift" the reviews on Hotels/Resorts we are interested in as some of the comments are relevant, others are not. Think our favourite one was about food being terrible (foreign country with local food/dishes) and there wasn't even a McDonalds!! :rotfl::rotfl:
Why don't these people just go to Blackpool?

I still think TA works 'democratically' despite C4 trying to put a spin and paint it otherway.....

The best part of TA is, if you are seasoned traveler, we can differentiate the people to really care to write a review based on their experience than those ones junkies who wants to get paid a commission!

The other option I check is expedia reviews since people who write their are paid hotel bookers....

Did anyone recognise who Stu.Bec was ? I'm fairly sure it was the infamous 'stuurl' / 'kenny powers' / 'mr lahey' from these very forums.

What was his skin condition anyway? It looked perfectly normal to me. Anyway, you can't catch something off yourself.
