Sympathy Vote

March 11 2014

After just watching My Kitchen Rules it was apparent that some of the contestants use the sympathy card to gain an advantage. Some of it seemed so fake. I am curious if anyone has ever used sympathy to get want they want be it at work, home or in your love life. I had a girlfriend whose sister faked illness to gain sympathy from her family. My friend tried to alert everyone but they didnt listen.

    Why attack someone's choice of TV viewing? It's always easy to throw a figurative stone anonymously on the internet, isn't it? Did that make you feel big and strong and clever to belittle someone you know nothing about? Well, now we know something about you, Add1two.

    It's ok producerrowan....he's the one who missed out for I always hope to expand my cooking skills and MKR taught me how to make Balsamic glazed apples and they were deliscious with the pork last night. I will say Add1two that unfortunately if comments get out of hand or off topic the mods tend to close the threads.... which has happened a lot of late. This is a real inconvenience to us who desire to interact on here ands create new topics, whether they are of interest to everybody or not.

    No never happened to me personally but like Add1two has said typical of that type of reality TV rubbish that comes out of 7 & 9 these days. As for producers comment what are you carrying on about ? Big and strong hahaha Add1 looks like e could handle himself there. He has made a comment I thought it was rather funny and he took Meanders comment on the chin with good humour. Enough from me I am off to watch the abc I Mrs Alf

    at 52 I figure you know all about being a cripple, looks like a fantastic photo and to be honest the only one here showing his face. I guess its easy being a cyber bully with no face pictures I thought Add1 made a decent comment MKR is terrible and teaches you nothing but what rubbish TV is on offer. Add1two take no notice of these clowns they all sound jealous

    People play out on sympathy all the time. It's human nature to use disadvantage to our advantage. I did this just today at work when haggling over a clash of leave request. I have no guilt about it and my cause was worthy (*smiles genuinely with a slight eyelash flutter). Kisses, J (Mrs) - Posted from rhpmobile

    Has everyone lost their sense of humour around here lately? As for using sympathy to get what I want, I probably have but can't think of any examples at the moment!

    can you take me for a ride on your board ? Sympathy Vote its a sad thing to see people do it but it happens a lot more than it should. I think I used it once trying to get a flight in Europe ... pleaded and made a few sad comments so I could get somewhere just a little cheaper. Ms Elle I think you nailed it along with Tuscan / has everyone lost their sense of humour. I thought it was funny and gave me a giggle and obviously Producer hiding behind his camera and Gaz51 were using a different kind of method to get attention its called the pretend your not a cyber bully , Cyber Bully approach. More the fool you two very transparent But as Tuscan has said Back on Track before the fun police arrive with Riot Shields

    I think I was thinking though of those whose specifically fake illnesses maybe as I didnt believe there true intentions. I have much sympathy and empathy for people who are sick, ill or suffering and will show them whatever help I can. But any input is interesting.

    But on the topic of Sympathy... Mick Jagger's 17 year girlfriend died during the week (may she RIP), causing The Stones to cancel their planned tour... Fans are complaining! Really? Whatever happened to sympathy? Apparently fans have gone on about how the cancellation of the tour and the lack of news after the event effects their babysitting plans because some complanies providing babysitting duties charge a cancellation fee. xxx
