Has reality TV gone too far?

Many people know about the reality TV show Take Me Out the basics of the show is Paddy McGuiness setting up dates and sending the lucky couple off to the Island of Fernandos.

Damion Merry was one of the lads to come down the ‘love lift’ and present himself to 30 single ladies, who I believe gave him a ridiculously hard time.

(The rumours about him dating Jodie Marsh which were stated on the show, I believe have now proved to be true, which was the first thing that needed to be cleared up.)

As the show progressed Damion was complete and utter banter, and unlike the lads previous actually made me laugh without having to put on a ridiculous outfit.

The girls continued to give him a hard time and to be honest when he finally got a date, it ended disastrously. In my personal opinion I would have thought it would have been a great date, the guy is just hilarious.

But it isn’t that which has given me a sickening feeling. Since the show Damion has received death threats including to his family, poisoned dog treats and is not allowed to appear on This Morning to defend himself.

Personally, I believe if an innocent (and hilarious) lad can’t have a bit of banter on what is meant to be a game show, of which many of the girls tend to be staying for the air time, rather than actually receiving a date then there is something incredibly wrong with our society.
