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

Chloe is fab. So down to earth and kind. I loved that her house was really normal too Mick is barking up the wrong tree with her.

Loved the streak too :)

SarahStrattonsHotCrossBunnies · 25/04/2011 23:13

I like Chloe too. But her mouth annoys me.

manticlimactic · 25/04/2011 23:17

I started watching it when my DD came back from her dads asking if she could watch it. She got bored after about 15 mins and I stayed with it. It's so bad it good.#

Joey Essex makes me cringe and laugh at the same time.

Chloes mouth.WTF? And why does Marks mum appear not to have any idea how to put blusher on? Looked like she'd been slapped good and proper on last weeks episode.

anonandlikeit · 25/04/2011 23:21

Love it love it love it!
But could happily punch Lydia's mum, what an old witch.

There are lots floating around the Brentwood are like that.

I love Amy and her hairy growlers & their glamping trip!

NettoSuperstar · 25/04/2011 23:49

OPI?
That's quite dear isn't it?
I'll look for a similar colour in the Barry M rangeGrin
That purple was reem though.

JustaNickname · 26/04/2011 02:21

TOWIE is excellent, I get the piss taken out of me because I love it so much :o Joey is Reem but I love Lydia and Amy. I think there lovely! :)

sausagesandmarmelade · 26/04/2011 06:41

Am liking Chloe more and more. Think she's beautiful...but needs to stop with the fillers and botox.

Think she and Micky would make a good couple...

Used to love Amy...but she's SOOO 2 faced. One minute she's being all nicey to someone, the next bitching about them behind their back.

SHRIEK

I went to stay with my aunty this weekend - she lives in Chigwell.

Of course living there she is obsessed with TOWIE (she has seen Joey in his smart car, and say Arg in her local Indian) and we were sat in her garden talking about how much of a COW we think Mark's mum is.

She sits there looking about to burst and then 'you know where you parked, at the top of Love Lane (about 100feet from her front door) - well that's where Mark Wright's mum lives

So this weekend I had the wonderful experience of talking about Mark's mum and nanny pat with the ability to be able to see into her back garden. Grin

I want to MOVE to Chigwell. Grin

I think Lauren G is lovely and Mark and his family are a load of ratbags.

carmenelectra · 26/04/2011 12:14

On my God, I LOVE IT.

Mark is gorgeous and very funny, but clearly thick.

Joey is just shocking. He looks about 12. His hair is like nothing that I have ever seen before. Sam looks waay too old for him.

Most of the girls are lovely looking even though they are way too tangoed and made up. I feel quite jealous as my fake tan which I always thought looked fab looks like a mere smattering compared to them.Grin

I would secretly like to look like that! Do the Essex birds really walk around that glammed up?? I dont even see people that dolled up on a night out!

Chloe looks strange though and the DJ looks a bit like a horse. Think its more a case that they need the extra slap, but the others dont Smile

carmenelectra · 26/04/2011 12:16

Oh and the glamping was fab. WE do quite 'posh' camping, but blimey that was another level. Amy had more make up on by bedtime. She had clearly added an extra layer!!

sausagesandmarmelade · 26/04/2011 12:49

no, no, nooooo....don't like Lauren at all!

I remember thats scene when she said "it's not over until I say it's over" DIVA MUCH!!!

Why would you seriously want someone who treated you the way he does.....What a TWIT!
Think Popey is a bit strange too, being with someone who treats her friend like crap. That boy is explosive..although I liked him at first.

Feeling sorry for Mark's family....think Arg is definitely hiding something...like Lucy, but not really feeling it for any of the others. That older woman seems to be trying desperately to be in with the younger crowd. How old is she?

Think Lydia's Mum is hilarious....

NettoSuperstar · 26/04/2011 14:35

Gemma is 30, and looks at least 10 years older than me (I'm 33). I do like her though, and wish she'd get together with Mick, I felt so sorry for her at the party.

Lydia's Mum is a horror, as is Mark's Mum.

sausagesandmarmelade · 26/04/2011 14:54

30!!!!

When you think Chloe is 29...it makes you wonder!

Well then she IS young........

Yes...Lyds mum is a horror (witchy hairstyle) but she does make me laugh the way she shrieks at Arg!

I reckon Mark's mum is a lot younger than she looks...but has spent too much time in the sun/on sunbeds etc.

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/04/2011 14:55

See, I quite fancy Mick Blush But I hate the way he treats Gemma. Although she gets on my nerves. THEY ALL DO!

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/04/2011 14:56

Mark's mum is evil. Pure evil. She's like the Krays mum!

pawsnclaws · 26/04/2011 15:03

I like Gemma, she comes across as smart and funny. But I hope she stays the way she is and doesn't get suckered into some kind of celeb "how I lost weight" rubbish or (horror of horrors) an exercise DVD.

What was going on with Mark's mum (known as RatFace in our house) and the makeup the other night? She looked like she'd fallen cheek first onto the blusher pot on one side and failed to notice.

sausagesandmarmelade · 26/04/2011 15:15

I'm afraid Gemma comes across to me as desperate....but she has her funny moments. Doesn't strike me as very bright..

YES...what was it with Mark's Mum. Looked like she had seriously burned her cheek...

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/04/2011 15:18

Maybe Lauren lamped her one Grin

pawsnclaws · 26/04/2011 15:22

I would love to see a bitch-fight between those two - hair pulling, slapping, the works.

Or maybe she fell asleep on a sunbed and only toasted one side?

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/04/2011 15:24

Hahaa! She deserves it, whatever happened. The way her and Jessica are to Lauren is awful.

GitAwfMayLend · 26/04/2011 16:43

I would like to see a lauren and Ratface fight, in style of Krystal Carrington and Alexis Colby slugging it out in Dynasty.

They are horrible to Lauren, the hard faced caaahs.

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/04/2011 16:48

They're just so... common shudder Wink

Champersonice · 26/04/2011 16:49

Oh shul up! x

GitAwfMayLend · 26/04/2011 17:31

Mind you, ratface's husband must be good looking, Mark and Jessica are icredibly attractive (albeit 'orrible)

leftblank · 26/04/2011 18:04

Sorry, did someone say that Gemma was 30??? I am shocked! (although I do like her)

I also like Lydia's mum! In fact, I love them all!
