If i ever went on the show, i would bring along a picture of my gran who passed away last year who loved the show. Its not really a sob story as such, thats just the sort of thing which happens to everyone, and i wouldn't really expect people to see it as a sob story.

But most of the stories we see aren't of that nature

A proper sob story is usually about a major disability, a major accident, or a tragic death of a family member from cancer or an accident, etc. this is the sort of sob story we are seeing on a daily basis, and i do think it needs to be reduced. i don't mean to sound harsh, but it doesn't make me like the player any more than i did before their name was called
