Which we are not this is causing discrimination to us and must be stopped as soon as possible.

Disgusting rubbish!!! Don't know whether the vile content was designed to increase viewing figures but it backfired according to everyone I have spoken to as we all switched off and have no intention of watching it again. It is not representative of the Valleys that I know, and this small unrepresentative and quite disgusting group are presenting a disrespectful and despicable image of themselves, the Valleys and Wales as a whole. Despite what you may think I am not a prude, but I have never reacted so negatively to a programme and have never responded to a petition to ban a TV programme before. I really would like this programme taken off the air immediately.

Essex women are nothing like the fake tit, fake tan fools on TOWIE and neither are Valleys women like this. Why not choose Valleys women for their skills and intellect instead of picking those resembling porn wannabes? Haven't we had enough of this already? These bimbos misrepresent the vast majority, dumb down perceptions and will lead to Valleys people being subjected to the same negativity, stereotyping and "jokes" that those from Essex have to endure.

Your "cast" are under false pretences. They believe that they will be admired for their Welsh Valleys "charm" and "cheeky" behaviour, when in fact, people will only watch with morbid fascination to mock their "Valleys ways".

It is a misrepresentation of the south Wales Valleys, and you are creating monstrous role models for young people.

I also believe that you cannot have conducted any research into what it means to live in the Welsh Valleys if you are using sheep in your advertisements.

Your programme will be an abomination, and I hope you are reconsidering airing it.

I don't understand why a programme needs to be made about this area apart from to poke fun unfairly and to create a feeling of 'them and us' between residents of Wales and the rest of Britain.

The latter does not foster a strong society. MTV has to understand that a society which emphasises freedom does not oblige one to use it; rather than the state determining what is appropriate, the individual determines whether it is appropriate. This is, not censorship but educationally-determined personal choice of actions. MTV has a responsibility to the latter.
