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 Confused

Anyone for glamping? [bugrin]

"Short and dumpy, tall and reem"

Ahh Netto I'd forgotten that, snigger GrinGrin

Champersonice · 22/04/2011 19:57

AH, LOVE all the comments on this thread!! You lot are making me laugh as much as TOWIE makes me laugh!

Please keep the thread going - it is keeping my spirits up - oh dear, how sad of me!!

Bumping just for you Champers (well, and me too Blush

YANBU, I am a huge TOWIE fan!! And like someone else who posted, I always watch the eps more than once!

madmomma · 24/04/2011 22:05

wouldn't mind a portion of Mark's sausage plait!

SarahStrattonsHotCrossBunnies · 24/04/2011 22:11

Someone please translate reem for me. What is it short for? Jel I get, reem I don't

NettoSuperstar · 24/04/2011 22:13

Reem means good.

I've just peed myself at Joey buying burgers

SarahStrattonsHotCrossBunnies · 24/04/2011 22:17

Is it short for something though? Or a word in it's own right?

Sassybeast · 24/04/2011 22:18

'Out of her ninny and into my blood' Grin LOVE it!

b1uebells · 24/04/2011 23:08

Tonights ep was the funniest I've seen. Amy on the tennis court and Joey cooking was hilarious Grin

caramelwaffle · 24/04/2011 23:26

B1uebells - are you the Bluebells of Chigwell (?) WinkGrin

(bumping for the TOWIE crowd Smile)

blondiemermaid · 24/04/2011 23:38

netto that purple nail varnish is opi from the shrek range hope that helps Smile
I'm a Essex girl and love towie see them all the time in the high street so keeping my place on here Grin

b1uebells · 25/04/2011 05:07

Would you like to elaborate on quite what you mean by that caramelwaffle? Grin

Megatron · 25/04/2011 08:14

Joey just gets funnier. He should have his own TV channel, it would be totally reem. Grin

MrsDrOwenHunt · 25/04/2011 08:29

i hate it and the people on it annoy the shit out of me!!!! i live in essex ans sadly alot of people i know talk like that!! how anyone finds that mark attractive is completly beyond me!!!

Onetoomanycornettos · 25/04/2011 08:37

I don't think there's any chemistry whatsoever between Sam and Joey. The glamping showed there's a fine line between metrosexual and utterly camp, he's so crossed it.

pawsnclaws · 25/04/2011 08:57

I love it - that date at the tip was hilarious.

Chloe sounds like Janet Street Porter, with those weird veneers and the missing tooth behind. Kirk (who looks about 12) and the strange matey relationship with his dad. Mark and his orange face leering at everyone.

But the worst has to be Lydia's mum and Mark's mum - what a pair of harridans.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 25/04/2011 20:50

i cant even watch it it irritates me that much!! whats worse is that people who repeat the so called phrases!! ffs it really is not that good to sound that much of a twat surely?!

BabyYoureAFirework · 25/04/2011 21:03

But it's precisely because they're all knobs that it's so addictive, MrsDr Grin

BabyYoureAFirework · 25/04/2011 21:03

I like Chloe. I think she's quite nice. Mark & Jessica's mum... Oh. Em. Gee.

LoveLeonardCohen · 25/04/2011 21:04

Oh dear...I don't quite understand this either. I know it is supposed to be the same format as 'The hills', my niece loves it. i watched it once and couldn't understand the point of it at all. Apparently partially scripted, everyone just seems really awkward and wooden.

ledkr · 25/04/2011 21:26

did you watch the hills?that was the same and my guilty pleasure,i like towie and my dh is from essex, his sis and cousins are very much essex,imagine me there,size 14,pale skin,no slap and a tracky-not always but have just had a baby Grin im a disgrace to Essex.

SarahStrattonsHotCrossBunnies · 25/04/2011 21:32

Sam Faiers looks just like a younger version of Mark's mum. Which is a touch creepy IMO [buhmm]

forehead · 25/04/2011 22:14

I am the queen of crap tv shows, i watch absolutely everything : ANTM,BB etc.
Even i couldn't watch this pile of rubbish.
They do get good viewing figures though
