WAGs Boutique

The logo says WAGS Boutique, the website lists it as WAGs Boutique: you pays yer money, you takes yer choice.

We've had game shows with perfectly ordinary people in it, game shows with slightly unhinged members of the public in it, shows with people's pets in it, shows with celebrities in it, shows with not particularly famous people in it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dante's Sixth Circle of Hell: Shows With People Who are Wives and Girlfriends of Not Particularly Famous People In It.

The ten footballer's wives and girlfriends (WAGs), all sporting significant acreage of sunglasses and enough peroxide to knock out a rhino, compete in a fairly pointless competition to see who can run a fashion boutique most profitably over a three month period.

It's quite a clever idea in that the participants are glam, camera-friendly, not afraid to catfight and let us in on their 'glitzy' lifestyle and 'celebrity' friends. But whether it's compelling telly or not is another thing.
