I don`t know what the big deal is! They were talking to each other about plans to go on holidays, very tame and probably informative.
It may have been different if they were telling each other dirty little secrets, or slamming their boss or colleagues. I think it shows that these two are only human and nice people!

Yes

The Tipping Point has become a much watched show, primarily as it a let's contestants win large sums of money, by answering questions and then playing a game that seems easy to win. The wins occur on a regular weekly basis which makes the show even more popular. Not like the Deal or no Deal, or Who Wants to be a Millionaire show, where you need to wait many episodes to have a contestant win a big prize.

Can you please tell me how this "show" has become one of Straya's favourites?
Oh, I know what the answer is ... it has so much appeal to the LCD.
Seeing the reaction when a tame, coached audience goes into orgasmic raptures when a contestant correctly gets or guesses the answer to a multiple-choice question, to me, just demonstrates the vapid level of intelligence which people sink to when they participate in these contests as either audience members or players.
How much difference does a bit of plastic dropping over a ledge, joining others which have just done that, make to your quality of life, especially when you're not involved in the process?

That was such a put down and not necessary, how do you know what other people want to watch and enjoy,? the choice is the viewers.

Ipso facto.

Oops, you never know who's listening.

When I was running as an Independent candidate for Federal Parliament, my number 1 rule was "As soon as you leave the house, presume that you are being recorded. So, don't say or do anything that you don't want to be shared".

For the record, I never really had to worry about anything I did or said in public.

Correct. When you wear a microphone for work, assume it's on until you take it off. It's your responsibility, not someone else's. Discussing holidays may be harmless, but what if it had been something else? People have lost their jobs over such incidents. And I wonder if those who defended their actions here would have had a different opinion then.

Oh my dear member Zemo, there is a brilliant answer for your question. Are you aware of how much our society, experience daily stress, with family, finances, relationships and much more. People find this show as a form of distraction, from their own mundane and stressful life. To see someone happy or play a game and get lucky to win, produces a good feeling. It brings people to believe that the whole world is not at stress, and good things can happen, and that a change in life is possible. The Tipping Point is not just a game show, there is psychology behind the way they make people happy, by way of answering a few easy questions and granting them an easy to win mega prize. After watching the show, many people feel relaxed, not all like yourself, but many do, believing that there is a chance that one's hard life can change for the better, in a very composed and easy way. Think about it a bit, it just may make some sense to you. Have a great evening.
