Thank you isobel1. My friend is doing great thanks to the Jeremy Kyle show and his team.it is so easy to critisize when your own little world seems great. I think JK is wonderful because he really does care! If I had to do his job, I think  I would do more than shout!

hi wonderbra

 

thanks for the message, did your friend know that he was going to see her to check to see how she was getting on, or was it a complete surprise.

hi wonderbra sorry if this sounds a bit of a n odd question, but was it actually him that came to see your friend after she had been on the show or was it one of his team.

Hi isobel,

Yes Jeremy himself called to see her in person totally unannounced! One of the team keeps in touch to make sure she's OK

o my word, i was she completely shocked when she saw him

elcatto:

I think he has to talk to his guests the way he does otherwise it won't sink in!

 

I totally agree with you, have you seen the sort of people on the show . How can you possibly be polite and calm towards them when all they do is shout their head off. I also think although Jeremy is at times a little harsh he is their to help the guests and he does a very good job of it people often need someone like Jeremy to make them realize just how wrong they are. Most of all i think everything Jeremy says even if he is "abrupt" is absolutely correct. I mean come on guys he's qualified for this. I think over talk show hosts *** foot around too much , these people need to hear the truth. After all isn't that why they are on the show ?

  

Jeremy Kyle's attitude is an effort to make up for a profound lack of training or qualification.  When he has finished his self-righteous and narcissistic rant, they wheel on Graeme Stanyer, who he refers to as 'the genius', by which he means 'the qualified', who offers a more reasonable and insightful approach (much like the professional style of Trisha Goddard).

Some of his efforts also appear to be a desperate bid to win over the audience's affections. He uses phrases like "It says Jeremy Kyle on the wall - my show, shut up!", then pauses for a moment to allow the audience to fill the awkward silence that follows with a cheer. Phrases like "reel your neck in" failed to get the reaction he expected, and only served to make him look uncomfortable and a little embarrassed as he awaited the reaction his face told us he so desperately wanted. He is more concerned with creating a persona for himself to ensure that he is retained as 'the talent' on the show, in fear of ITV making the sensible move and asking Graeme to host the show.

Before he states something 'controversial', he will always first of all say something like "I know a lot of people will disagree with me", or "I know some people won't like me saying this". This only serves to make the statement that follows appear more controversial than it actually is, or to make it appear that in the face of adversity he will still speak 'the truth'. This is intensely annoying.

Finally, the polygraph test. On the show it states that "practitioners claim it to be 96-97% effective", whilst scientific research suggests it to be around 60-70% effective, which is why it is not used as evidence in a court of law, and is not used by government agencies. If the bank valued your house at £250,000 and an independent evaluation valued it at £150,000, which would you believe? Of course the bank is trying to sell you a mortgage and it is in their best interests to have you believe your home is worth more than it actually is (and this does happen!!). So it is clear to see why polygraph examiners "claim" it to be around 96-97% effective - they wouldn't have a job if they told you it was actually 60-70% effective. This means that around four out of every ten questions asked will produce an incorrect reading.

There is much more I would like to have commented on, but don't have the time to write it.

I think Jeremy is only harsh with the people who deserve it! He is very good with the people who really are the victims. People know what they're letting themselves in for when they ring his show rather than Trisha or whoever, and at least the majority of the time the situations do actually get resolved and arrangements made re visiting children, etc. The problem with a lot of the guests on the show who have gone off the rails is that no-one has stood up to them before and they have been allowed to get away with too much!  If I was behaving like as much of a **** as some of the guests I'm sure my dad would come shout "wise up!" at me until I saw sense :) Okay Jeremy is not their dad, but they've still given him the authority to be honest with them when they agree to come on the show, I reckon.

He is amazing!  I think that 9 times out of 10 he is saying the exact right thing because half the losers on that show need to be told.  There are parents on that show that don't have a clue how to look after themselves, probably not been told by there parents and need someone with a bit of common sense to give it to them straight.  If everyone was like that there would be less idiots around like there is!  Well done Jeremy keep up the good work!

I find it all a little odd that people complain about the way JK operates. First of all, if your a viewer and you don't like what you see, change channel or use the off button. No-one forces you to watch something you find SO vile, distasteful or just plain wrong.

If you've decided to go on the show, then you're going to have been a viewer in the first place, so by you're going to know what to expect! So you can't then complain about being treated harshly!

Now for the rest of us in the real world, whether his methods might appear a little harsh or not, there is hard evidence out there that some of the work he has done with his team, has actually resulted in a positive outcome. Lives have been turned around and in some instances, no doubt saved. 

 Now ask yourself, what did you do today that was so special?

 

that is true... people do not have to watch his show or go on it.

but that does not excuse his holier than thou attitude and blatant bullying.

 

hey

i think he sounds talk to them like he does it seems to be the only way they get in there head and some of them i dunno how he stays so calm x

1st of all well done you for speaking your mind! With dignity too no shouting hahahahah but I must say havin caught the last 20 minutes of the show aired this mornin (2nd of october) I would fully expect jeremy to have spoken to the "pathetic excuse of a man" in such a way I wanted him to rip him to pieces I really did. This "youth" sat there bragging about taking tax payers money,sitting around drinking all day,not having a job and acting the big man and my god my blood was boiling. Jeremy kyle is fighting a losing battle up there sometimes and does loose his rag now and again,sometimes it is understandable but he does go too far a lot and chastises people when theres more to the story.But in this case I wanted to help Jeremy shout,and it makes you wish sometimes that you could walk into number 10 downing st and shout at Gordon Brown *** the anger management I'd kick his scottish ass if I met him so in the case of this mornings show,Jeremy I salute you for throwing him off stage,but you are a pedantic bloke sometimes.....Staying calm is staying in control and it is your show we know :-)

I think, personally that Jeremy Kyle is an arrogant pig. He is self obssessed and ignorant of peoples feelings and circumstances, take today (23 10 08) there was a young lad on there very upset, for some reason, but he came on stage crying all JK kept saying is 'stop snivelling' that lad was obviously under stress as he has ADHD and wasnt taking his meds.

Also, unless its a 'find my long lost mum or dad' show then he seems to have unemployed, young preg teens, or unemployed young girls that are single parents looking for a DNA test as the father disputes the paternity of the baby, there is usually cannabis or alcohol involved and these are vulnerable people, to parade them and their 'friends' in front of the nation is rather sick, yes i know they are the ones to get in touch, but surely all this counselling or DNA tests can be done off the camera, why show young people up like that. Im all for everyone getting help, should they need it.. but to embarrass people or invite them on then tell them to 'get off my stage' is rather pointless...

And the only time i see that man (JK) smile is when Graham comes on the stage, if he is what he says he is (psychologist or whatever) then surely he knows the damage he is doing to these unfortunate people just by parading them on national tv

The guy is a scum bag and ITV needs to scrap the show, im all for good viewing, but bullying aint good viewing

i have been on the show and was very disapointed by the way i was told to shut up when i was asked by jk to explain why my marriage had broke up, as soon as i opened my mouth to explain why i had accused my hubby of what i had jk told me to shut up. my husband took a lie detector test to prove he had not done what i had accused him of and passed it even though he had previously addmitted to me that he had.

jk made my hubby out tobe a saint poor thing and refussed to listen to what i had to say!

also the night before the show when he took the test i got a call from one of the team who asked me did i have any questions i whated to add to the test but each one i said i was told it couldnt be asked because of one reason or another.emmediately i put the phone down on the caller my daughter rang me asked who i was on the phone to and when i told her she said she couldnt understand why they were asking me if i wanted to add any questions to the test because my hubby had already taken it earlier that night! and at the time i was being phoned by one of the team my hubby was propping the bar up at another hotel celibrating passing the test and a free bar too!

they say they dont know the results until that envolope is open on the show but that in its self is a lie!

i think its time JK listened to both sides then maybe he wouldnt be so quick at making judgement.
