TV watchers give their two cents on the shows they love and hate.

> Hypocrisy rules
If Manu Feildel is so worried about racism in My Kitchen Rules (Switched On, March 27), then it is up to him to change the content of the farce he is a part of and stop being a hypocrite. And, by the way Manu, when you are choosing the next batch of protagonists, please don't recruit them from outside bikie clubhouses if you want to retain viewers. Those tattoos and piercings on both genders were a definite turnoff. Why can't we just have a good honest contest with great cooking and unbiased judging? - Judy, email

> Unfit for purpose
I think The Biggest Loser should be renamed The Biggest Bullies. Humiliating obese contestants who have already endured bullying and mocking by their peers by calling them "an embarrassment to yourself"' is offensive. Those personal trainers on the show offend me and should have their accreditation suspended. Getting obese people to perform mini marathons and 10km runs is obscene and borders on abuse . - Steven, email

> Too late for a school night
My husband and I enjoy Sunday night viewing on the ABC and have been particularly enlightened by Shakespeare Uncovered followed by In Search of Beethoven. Why, oh why, are such good programs shown so late? They are excellent viewing for our teenagers and surely would add to their education. Please can these be shown at a sensible time? - Felicity , email

> Tractor needs to be pulled
I thought Randling on the ABC last year was disappointing but it looks positively high quality and high-brow viewing compared to their latest offering Tractor Monkeys. How does this tripe make it to the small screen? Which ABC TV executive looked at a pilot of this show and thought this is a winner. It is dreadful, inane and appealing to the lowest common denominator in society. It lacks humour and any clever point of difference that may help it garner a sizeable audience. - Wayne, email

> Wake up to yourself
Grant Denyer, Channel 7's answer to Daryl Somers leaves Sunrise. Hooray! Now I can watch Sunrise and not change channels whenever the bloke with the littlest amount of talent but the biggest ego appears. - Ian, email

> An enormous mistake
Can all media presenters and reporters please stop using the word "enormity" to refer to the vast size of a problem or an event. While it sounds grammatically correct, the word actually refers to extreme wickedness, as in: the full enormity of the crime. If you are looking for a big word, use an adjectival description such as "enormousness" or "immensity" or "magnitude" but please don't further dumb down proper English into the lazy vernacular. - Peter, email
