Do you think the "The Steve Wilkos Show" actually helps or exploits people?

I personally think it's a slight cut above Springer. Esp. since Steve doesn't even let the pimps/wife beaters/etc. SIT on stage lol. I feel bad for the "victims" at times. Your thoughts?

GO STEVE!!!!!!

"Chill pill" lol. He could be acting more pissed than he really is. Who knows. At least it's not "total" trash.

I think he tries to help people and exploit people, but sometimes you have to be exploited before you can be helped. I don't really think his show is trashy. He keeps it far more under control than Jerry ever did. I just think when you are dealing with certain types of issues and problems you really need to be trained in doing just that. But all in all its a good show. I really do like the fact he doesn't like the "bad guys" even have a seat. To me that speaks volumes ....

Hope this was helpful ~~

I watched one entire episode of this show a couple weeks ago, and that was enough. I think Steve is a good guy, and he's always had a lot of charisma, but his show is produced by Jerry Springer's people, so that's the format you're going to get. Yes, Steve tries to help people, and yes, his show exploits them as well. However, it isn't difficult to exploit people who have no coping skills.

Exploits. And it's all for his ego.... I like Steve, but he goes way overboard. I don't like the way he gets in peoples faces and tries to goad them into hitting him. Like they are going to hit him right there on the stage? They would have 4 security guards immediately on top of them...

He needs to take a chill pill. He's going to give himself a heart attack getting all worked up like he does.

Steve is so argumentive!

I think it exploits them so that Steve can show off his "tough guy" act and get in people's faces just to compliment his massive ego.
