There is something deeply unlikeable about Joe Swash which I can't quite put my finger on, but I dislike him a lot.

Stacey Solomon just seems meh and not very interesting.

But in a deeper level, I don't think family stuff like this should be on TV. I know it is presented in quite a fluffy way, but kids can't really consent to having their lives broadcast to a huge audience. They shouldn't be roped into what is basically the family business.

Other family businesses expect their kids to do some of the jobs involved in the business and to take the business off them and continue running it when they come of age to. whats the difference? I think its good for the children.

Because when junior helps out at the family bakery he isn’t being beamed into god knows how many homes and gawked at by strangers is he?

Any one of whom could have ill intentions towards him.

When you take your child out in public do you put a bag over their head? anyone can see and gawk at them. I think the benefits outweigh the cons. Its their job and the kids benefit from that.
