He does strange things to me. Tell me I'm not alone!

Everyone always seems so disrepectful towards Francis- they treat him a joke!

He just doesn't seem to get it, that people are laughing at him.

I didn't realise it was him who actually convinced the producers to do the show until last night when I sadly googled

MarshaBrady · 04/10/2011 11:16

Really? How interesting. I really love like Francis now.

Hullygully · 04/10/2011 11:18

Francis will have the last laugh, you watch.

I don't think they laugh at him in a cruel way, I think they are a bit bemused by him. He is a little unusual. I like that in a person. But not the Dave Cameron as icon

MarshaBrady · 04/10/2011 11:19

Oh I missed that about DC. Yes he is definitely getting it now. The joke. Which makes him very likeable.

Roseflower · 04/10/2011 11:19

Yes it says on the wikipedia thingy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Boulle

"Francis Maximilien Yvan Christophe Boulle....He petitioned TV creators to produce a show revolving around him and other like minded individuals, which became the new E4 Reality TV show "Made in Chelsea". [3]"

Imagine him having to learn to write his full name at school!

Roseflower · 04/10/2011 11:22

I did think satellite face- Amber was cruel- prentending she wanted a date when she was after his diamonds! I would be a little humilated by that...

Hullygully · 04/10/2011 11:22

I like, Occupation: heir.

Oh god I wish that was my occupation.

What do we think of Proudlock and his unlikely earring?

Hullygully · 04/10/2011 11:22

Yes, but Francis saw her off. He knew.

MarshaBrady · 04/10/2011 11:23

Proudlock is excellent. Name a good addition and good looking. Earring would have to go.

theginganinja · 04/10/2011 11:25

Ohhh Proudlock, he didn't really seem like Caggie's type, did he?

Roseflower · 04/10/2011 11:25

Was his lunge just a joke then?!

I still think his speech about the muggers was the best bit of MiC so far.

"I got mugged in the summer, and yet what really occured to me was how terrible their grammar was. So Im setting up a charity"

Grin

and

"I wrote this book as people are always asking me how I did 'it'- now I won't have to speak to them and can refer to them to my amazon link"

Ha ha!

Hullygully · 04/10/2011 11:27

yy, he said to Amber he suspected her, and she said, well what if I'd responded, and he said, I would have just gone with it.

theginganinja · 04/10/2011 11:28

Blimey Exquisite Cake is 23, thought she was at least 30 something, the wonders of plastic surgery

Roseflower · 04/10/2011 11:31

Does anyone know how much they are all worth?

All I found was Caggie is worth £1.7 million, and Funda £100k...

theginganinja · 04/10/2011 11:39

Well, the Jamie boy is a biscuit heir, think I read he's part of the McVities empire or something and Francis is diamond heir, so presumably worth squillions, not to mention all those enterprising erm enterprises he's pioneered Grin.

Not sure where the others get their worth from or how much they're worth.

Ariana86 · 04/10/2011 11:43

I can't criticise your choice in men.. as I fancy Mark Wright from TOWIE.

LAME CLAIM FAME #1: Ollie lives on my road. Which is most decidedly not in Chelsea. He is very, very small and glossy of hair, I see him in our local corner shop. I have never seen Chloe anywhere near his flat.

LAME CLAIM FAME #2: Was in the Cuckoo Club this summer and Gabby and Ollie were there. They looked completely normal with each other, totally at odds with the psycho ex thing Gabby has going on right now... And yes, WHY would she agree to this plot line? The expressions of dismay on Cheska and Binky's faces are brilliant.

LAME FACT #1: All Spencer's scenes are filmed at the weekend as he actually has a job. He's a stock broker or something.
LAME FACT #2: I think Hugo has a finger in the production side of things, I think he pitched this show to the production company.
LAME FACT #3: Millie auditioned for this series of BINTM but clearly didn't get through. We saw her in the queue in the opening episdoes Grin

sausagesandmarmelade I love the idea that Spencer treated Funda 'like carp'. I always thought there was something fishy about him Grin

EricNorthmansMistress · 04/10/2011 11:53

What's BINTM?

Hullygully · 04/10/2011 12:03

next top model?

No, pore Millie's got that unfortunate chin thing as well as no facial expressions.

Roseflower · 04/10/2011 12:20

I also assume Amber has a wicked sense of humour.... calling herself a model and selecting herself for photoshoots... hilarious!

FannyBrawne · 04/10/2011 13:21

I saw Spencer at Liverpool Street station a few weeks ago (sans film crew in tow) - that would appear to chime with LAME FACT 1 above

BupcakesandCunting · 04/10/2011 13:23

Which one is Spencer? The one with the lady hair?

Yeah, I'd do him. I'd shag that arrogance right out of him. AND he'd like it.

BupcakesandCunting · 04/10/2011 13:25

Oh sorry no, I've just Googled Spencer and YABVVVVU. He looks like a little twat with a weird face. In Fact, his face looks like really shiny yet matte. Like it may have been injected under the skin with jelly what they use in pork pies. I would not give him one.

What I said about the lady hair one still stands, though.

kenobi · 04/10/2011 13:33

Roseflower, please stop referring to Amber as Amber. From now onwards she is 'Axis of Evil One'. Michael Francis can be Axis of Evil Two.

And does anyone else think the McVities boy looks like a serial killer?
