    What gets me is that it takes professionals years to get to the level that they try to get these celebrities to in just one season of the show.
    And even on their own, professionals still get injured at times. So yeah, there’s going to be a *lot* of injuries when you try to push amateurs to that level, that quickly.

      Look at any so called traditional family, the woman's expected to do everything while the men don't lift a finger. They don't want an actual traditional wife, they want her to work full time as well as take care of the house and family. While not doing a thing with the kids or around the house.
      Have you never heard of women complaining that men don't have a clue about domestic tasks? Women want an equal partner not a man that they have to baby. The first step of that is teaching boys that they have to help around the house and not that it's women's work.
      There's a huge difference between having the kids do chores and making them your slaves. Kids at 10 should have been taught the basics, kids, usually boys at uni are often helpless because they've been babied and coddled their whole lives.

    Fair enough, some of these should never have taken place at all, like the late late breakfast show, they are just too dangerous for the average person. But for someone to appear on Strictly come dancing, Dancing on ice or Splash and then have the audacity to then sue the producers is just nuts.
    Any activity has a degree of risk attached to it. I played many sports when I was young, occasionally got injured, broke ribs, broke fingers, and I broke my leg. But did I sue the school? No.
    I accepted the risk when commencing the activity, I cocked up and got injured, I accepted the responsibility for my actions.
    Ridiculous that some of these grown adults can't accept responsibility for their own actions/mistakes.

    Top Gear was originally a proper motoring magazine show, before it was turned into a stuntfest.

Turning it into entertainment was probably a certain recipe for disasters, at some point, which has unfortunately been demonstrated.
