I have deliberately avoided this programme ...until last nite when SIL made us all watch.
It really is awful ...but at the same time captivating.
BTW for what it's worth I started out in life with the clothes I stood up in and no money or place to live.
My old man threw me out.
I made a million and then some . The hard way, with no help other than a burning need to survive and always running away from the prospect of failure.
Awwww!
