"Ann Widdecombe to the rescue"?

1. It seems to be part of this weird sado-masochistic ....
... "step-up-and-be-beaten-up" mentality that telly seems to push these days, from "Big Brother" and "The Weakest Link" to reality shows about starving in the desert and having the crap kicked out of you by psychotic NCOs.

I would have to be pretty desperate to let The Teeth From Hell loose on any problem of mine.
