This Show Was Atrocious., 14 December 2004
Author: blackarachnia2 from ON, Canada

I must admit that this show was one of my more shameful sources of pleasure. Seeing people being humiliated by a little British "lady" but even I wouldn't go on this show. Who thinks of bringing these British shows to the US and Canadian airwaves? The host builds herself on humiliating people and then she wonders why she gets canceled after only a year. Yelling at people, calling them names, and then telling them that they are the weakest link.

I can only say this. Anyone who can stand Ann's voice or has the cajoles to go on this show I wish them all the best. But be aware that the host is a bitch.
