Gillian McKeith and her ‘Brides that Brawl’ show

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:18 pm by Administrator

It takes a certain kind of contempt for women, to imagine that they are interested in watching Gillian McKeith batter, as Channel 4 describes, “three bulging brides-to-be in desperate need of her help.”

Of course there is a delicious twist in her new show ‘Three Fat Brides and One Thin Dress’. Besides enduring her revolting pulses and seeds’ diet, not to mention her relentless pressure and army sergeant nature, in this series ”she’s upped the ante by making the brides compete for the wedding dress of their dreams.”

“Making.” Another word for forcing.

McKeith and the producers would say these women have a choice. The choice being: when offered the wedding dress of her dreams, worth thousands of pounds, which she could never afford let alone fit in and the chance to look like a princess, that bride could always say, “no”.

There is something truely revolting about making women compete for this dream.

McKeith used to call herself a doctor in all her advertising. She based this on a correspondence course from a non-accredited American college. After being taken to the Advertising Standards Authority, she dropped the title.

I find it ironic that part of her shtick is examining poo.

Ms McKeith: Stay away from brides. They don’t need your help. They are stressed enough. They don’t need to drop three dress sizes in order to be the perfect bride. And they definitely don’t need to fight fellow brides to achieve this fantasy.
