Lovely Ovie

This is mildly entertaining and all but all jobs come with issues whether they be physical, emotional, mental. At least this lot have got to make loads of money for very little work during their struggles

[@grilledcheese9297]

It burns out fast. How much money do you think someone makes from a couple seasons on reality tv? I doubt it’s more than an average yearly salary

[@PeteS_1994]

They don't come with the same set of issues of reality shows where you feel the loss of privacy and control, especially in this age of social media.

[@DannyWonder]

they obviously know they will have to sacrifice their privacy and control as they're going on TV. What do you expect. In terms of the money running out quick and having to "keep up" with the lifestyle - fair enough, but do you know who else has to deal with those issues... ordinary people who work low income jobs. I'm not trying to downplay the issues this lot face, they're 100% real and they should receive as much help as possible. But excuse me for not sympathizing entirely for young good looking people complaining about the struggles they've faced from getting shit faced and acting a fool on the TV. There are tons of real people out there who are going through way worse shit

[@Pippa87]

@@DannyWonder And there are tons of real people out there who are happier than I am, therefore I should not be happy. Is that the logic we're using here?

[@DannyWonder]

No I just don’t sympathise with them as much as others

[@Onlyabbymm]

I look forward to watch this

[@paulrooney9284]

Thanks 🙏 Ovie Bless

[@paulmccarter908]

And here I was clicking on this thinking it was about OUR mental health from watching..

[@michaelmeah3139]

What these people don’t realise is they wasn’t good at anything to become celebrities they became that for money and fame so the outcome of what they have got after is all because normal people with normal jobs have seen what these people are really Like and that’s wrong ens

Ovie is doing therapy on people

[@wendywatkins7366]

Mario Falcone is 😍

[@mattguyett3547]

Mario Falcone is a hypocrite. He’s extremely rude and ignorant to people online.

[@gripitl6878]

I don’t know any of these shows. This was a pretty good interview but the interviewer needs to learn how to speak clearly he did a lot of mumbling.

[@gimmipenny3808]

He’s a reality start himself. Loved by the public for being a really nice down to earth guy

[@FulhamboyH]

Do people still watch that shit 😂

[@Makedeportationsgreatagain]

No sympathy for any of these Mugs - they choose this path and have financially benefited
