Daily Inspiration Quote by Trisha Goddard

There’s a neat trapdoor in Trisha Goddard’s line: she takes the posture usually forced onto tabloid television and flips it back onto the people who think they’re too tasteful to watch it. “Instead of criticising us” isn’t a plea for fairness; it’s a refusal of the whole setup where the media class gets to sneer while still profiting from spectacle. The phrase “the establishment” does heavy lifting, collapsing broadcasters, regulators, columnists, and polite society into one smug, self-protecting organism. It’s a populist move, but a strategic one: if the critics are “the establishment,” then the show and its audience become the underdog by default.

“Bloody good” is the tell. The profanity isn’t just attitude; it’s class-coded texture, a way of insisting this argument belongs to everyday speech rather than committee-room language. Goddard’s career sits at the intersection of empathy and voyeurism: daytime TV offers confession as entertainment, and that bargain always attracts moral panic from the same institutions happy to bankroll far uglier content under the banner of “serious” programming. Her line implies hypocrisy: the establishment wants the ratings and the social control that comes from judging other people’s mess, but not the accountability.

The intent is defensive and offensive at once: stop scapegoating the “low” culture, and interrogate the structures that create the conditions for those stories, then monetize them, then shame the people living them. It’s a demand for self-scrutiny disguised as a clapback, which is why it lands.
