Contestants on every show needing to have a “sob story” or need to show some sort of virtue signalling.

Someone watched The Wheel last night.

Ok thanks for your attention, for your information it was corrected by auto correct, but no matter give yourself a gold star.

The irony of disliking the Americanisation of our words when using an Americanisation of one of our words. I guess that passed you by.

Re-read my reply and take it in.

I’ve never seen Race Across the World but I thought the fella on The Wheel last night telling everyone he has a stoma was superb. Call it virtue signalling if you want but when you have one of those that kind of public acknowledgement can go a long way for some people.

I completely understand that.

My point is simply that EVERYONE has to have a story now.

Yeah, a guy in my office did a show a year or three back. The programme makers helped him manufacture a "human angle" story, as without one he'd not have got the nod.
