Advantages: Get to know places in Europe

Disadvantages: Serve no purpose

Coach trip is another reality TV show that brings out the nastiness of people. I can't stand the show and yet I find myself looking forward to watching it. Am I being nasty enjoying watching nastiness on TV.

Coach trip is aired nowadays on More4 on Sundays and I believe on other cable channels. It is a travel reality show when a group of Brits travel together on a coach to different destinations in Europe. The coach tour is lead by a kemp and quite showy chap called Brandon. The participants comprises of couples in the form of husband and wife, partners, brothers and sisters, relatives and best friends.

At the start of the show, the commentator will update the viewers on the previous day happenings and the town or city they will be visiting that day. This is also the time where a new set of couple could joined the tour. This usually happen when two person leave the tour after getting the Yellow card, which is the final nomination made by the fellow travellers on them.

The nomination is based on how each of the holiday maker get along. It is in such moment when you see the nastiness of people, the unwillingness of some people to compromise, the rudeness and selfishness of some people. Some of the reasons the couples give about their nomination seems weak, reasons like 'they didn't try to get to know us' they didn't talk to us', they are older', they are too young', 'didn't like the way she eat'. When a couple get their first nomination, they will be given a red card. If they are nominated again the next time, they will get a yellow card and they will have to leave the tour.

The only draw in this show for me is probably the knowledge of different places they visit, things that we might not know when we travel to those places on our own.

Don't know why I even review this reality tv show, it is another reality show that serve no purpose. I must and shall not follow this show again.

Summary: Wouldn't watch it again.
