to have TOWIE as my guilty pleasure?

[Champersonice]

It is a load of twaddle and purely there for some lighthearted relief but I am hooked! It is my guilty pleasure! I think I know the answer to my question - I ABU

I watched it for the first time the other night as there was nothing else on. I don't quite get it. Is it real or made up? The episode I saw was Lauren's engagement party.

YANBU it's great because its awful, or the other way round.

It's my guilty pleasure and the only real rubbish tv programme I watch.

What's TOWIE?????

It is a kind of reality show but they set up scenes, too. I think it is a bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. Btw, Mark Wright is friends with that guy that married Jade Goody. They flat shared previously and not sure if they have some business venture together, or did have.

It is a load of barstewards but I just love it!!

Reindeer - I am with you exactly!

Nick, it stands for The Only Way Is Essex - a reality show (with a bit, ok a lot! of drama thrown in!) on ITV2

YANBU, it's my favourite programme. I never miss an episode and usually watch them twice.
I love Joey.

A fabola MNetter got me a signed copy of the book

Oh ok I have never heard of it know what you mean now

YANBU - but as long as you realise that us Essex people are not really like that!!

The Only Way Is Essex and YANBU.

Oh but you ARE Betty!!! OK, not all of you! I have some family from Essex and quite a few friends. They tbh are not like TOWIE but one of my besties has a few Essex friends and they so ARE TOWIE! Actually, they are related to and friends of that guy Jade Goody married (Mark twat Tweed) so really are TOWIE!

oops I meant Jack (twat Tweed) not Mark!!

I watched the engagement party one, broke my TOWIE duck and now am hooked!

It's so awful......it's fab!

my new catchphrase is going to be 'we'll have to pay someone' after the gazebo disaster

Just don't get jel

Jel = jealous

I've no idea what Joey Essex is trying to say though.

Oh Shul Up!

Anyone else think Paloma is shaping up to be a touch sneaky?

Discovered this a few weeks ago, am SO hooked!
But does anyone else think that Chloe should get her mouth done or wear a paper bag on her head?

I think so too, Sarah.

And tbh, if TOWIE is my guilty pleasure, Mick is fast approaching as my other guilty pleasure !!

What is it with Chloe's mouth, Cloudy? If she put as much money into that as she has into the other parts of her body, she might have half an alright boat race - init?!

Champers - one word.................shutttupppppppppp

I dont watch it, have seen it for about 10 seconds and that was enough to make me cringe....................maybe some of us our like that but I live near saaafend (the nice part ) and no one I know is like that...at all!

All I can say it....

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Oh Betty, don't get jel babe! So if you live in the nice part of saaafend, don't you mean, Thorpe Bay???

Actually, I dont mean Thorpe Bay Champers...I am in Leigh On Sea bit, a nicer class of tat ...
