No they got Worse
Binge Drinking Women.

Question is has it changed based on the way woman on these shows have been portrayed/acted.
I'd say No... most viewers get that those who enter are not "normal" nor representative. Those that get in seem pretty hungry for fame and far removed form average women. These shows are more "freak show" than documentary so I doubt most people see the women who appear on them as typical "gender stereotypes".

I dunno though Ange, What about the young girls watching BB etc seeing Wags and the like...girls getting their kit off, tits out and becoming famous and rich out of it? I dont think they get that its not the average woman, it seems to be something a lot of young girls aspire to these days...or maybes Im gettin old

Agreed Netto. I'm not influenced by these types, and I treat them like the side-shows they are. But, I'm a 30something and perfectly confident in who I am.

I do wonder how it affects the young, less confident girls, especially the uneducated ones. We only have to look at the number of young girls who respect Jade Goody to see how misguided some of them are.

No Netto you are not Old
you shop at young shops.


Binge Drinking Women
even Fight.
Attitude has changed for sure.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Hahhaahaha thank you Arista...Is Netto a young shop? lol

[pinkmichk]

i agree with netto you've only got to look at things like the lads mags after these programs end to show the new 'role models' young girls are aspiring to be like and follow in the footsteps of and many of the girls in recent years have only gone on to further career as a model that kinda thing sad world when the most a girl can aspire to become is a wag
