Advantages: Panto!

Disadvantages: Another poor host

"All power to you girl friend", "you should listen to the song by Destiny's Child - Independent Woman", "Girl Power!". No this is not some American catchphrase show and it is not some motivational therapist show - this is the Trisha Goddard show.

Trisha appeared as a chat show host on ITV in 1998 as a replacement to Vanessa Feltz - a poor replacement I feel as this not only gave this mad woman a platform to spout utter non-sense to the masses, but also give a platform for "chavs" to appear on t.v and just prove the state of our society. Each episode is an hour long - enough drivel to last a day!

The show moved to Channel 5 in 2005 and the format has remained the same since. As seems to be the norm with these chat shows, the guest appears on the show to a chorus of cheers (usually the female) and she airs the problems in her relationship. Then the male (who is the villain, allegedly) appears to a chorus of "boo's" and is roundly picked on by Trisha, his partner as well as a member of the audience. Almost in every episode I have seen, there is one person in the audience who likes to say a derogatory comment to the male guests.

Trisha seems to be obsessed with the guests seeing councillors - I personally feel that the majority of them should learn how to speak English and how to interact with people. I also feel that the pantomime feel on the show is truly awful because it just does not feel as good as it does on the Jerry Springer Show. At least on that show the guests seem to know that their "problems" seem farcical, but on Trisha they are very serious.

Also, Trisha is ridiculously bias towards female guests, It is an absolute disgrace that a male guest on the show can be vilified for appearing on the show, but a female guest has to get a softly-softly approach. I thought we lived in a world of equality - seems to me that the media only seems to appreciate female problems, not male ones.

Summary: Avoid it unless you need cheering up
