OMG! I have just seen 'the only way is Essex' for the first time and...

[runningwilde]

...all I can think is what a fucking sad bunch of twats. Stupid, vacant and totally pointless people - and - OMG! These are real people! There are people like this in real life!

Arghhhh!

Aibu to think like this?! Surely not!

YANBU..and that comes from an "essex girl"! Mind you I did once go to Romford (they still have white stilletos there!)

YOu think thats bad - try catching Geordie Shore by accident.

Did you manage to watch it all? I turned off after about 3 minutes the time I decided to 'see what all the fuss was about'

I honestly don't know how people watch (and love) it!

No they don't Holly they wear cheapo pretend Ugg Boots, y'know the ones that go over at the ankle.

I should know, I live in Romford,

And I wear M&S shoes

I went to Romford today and can confirm Holly's sighting as spot on

YANBU OP, it's a pile of shite....I think I suffered about 15 mins of one episode.

I caught about 30 seconds of 'Made in Chelsea' while DH was channel-hopping.

Scarred. For. Life.

I feel exactly the same about desperate scousewives, OMG it is horrid. Worst thing is, no-one I know has ever heard of the so called local celeb, and none of the are actually from Liverpool. TOWIE is dreadful!

Yep as pointless as the royal family perhaps. A bunch of twats pretty pointless and vacant, yet we are paying for them. Same thing really. So yes Op there are people like that in REAL life.

Sorry but I love love love a slice of TOWIE it's totally reeeeeem!

I caught 15 seconds of TOWIE by accident when 2 of the daffy females were making their rats on strings adorable little handbag dogs do jumping in a park.

I fear for my DD who is very pretty (nay beautiful) long hair, long eyelashes and more than a passing crush on Aston from JLS.
She also likes tracksuity things and Ugg Style boots.
The shame. I've failed haven't I?

I never quite 'got it'. Bored me to tears when I watched some of it and yes, I thought totally pointless also. I don't know how anyone manages to sit through it but then that can be said about loads of tv programmes.

You're just well jel Lord

Shuuuuuuuttt uuuuupppppp Worra

I don't watch it, but there's no escape.!

Hahahahaha you think TOWIE is bad? I have never watched it myself but I get the gist - try viewing that Scousewives thing without a bottle of brain bleach and some knitting needles for shoving in your eardrums ...its a challenge!!

Right that's it, I'm going to hop on the 128 in the morning and come pull your hair extensions out Flies

I think my brain would eat itself if I watched an episode.

Trois I caught Geordie Shore once, not really understanding what it was all about and cringed all the way through it. I couldn't physically close my mouth, it was shocking!

Its not too bad with the volume on mute ... and when Mark Wright is on the screen...

I saw a couple of episodes of Jersey Houswives...I think that's where all this stems from.

That was all about rich pretty women with wealthy husbands and the odd MIL from hell.

Doesnt it all stem from The Hills? I watched that a few times, and it was bizarre.

they aren't really real.

No extensions here Worra - dodgy grey roots though. My DD hair is real.

No Uggs, no white stilletos, no false eyelashes, no 4x4, no false nails, no Handbag Dog., no fake tan, no Vajazzle

I don't deserve to live in Romford do I?

I've got a tattoo though. (Redeems myself)

Hmmpphh bet you're in Romford in Dorset then

I didn't even know Dorset had a Romford until Argos Direct told me

No definately Darkest Essex. I've been here 23 years so I'm a Honorary Essex Wife.

My DCs are as Essex as all get-out, and people have asked if DS is mine
He's all "well cool" "bu-er" (butter) "Wa-er" "d'you know what?"

I was in Romford today too

Need to sloth off to bed now.

Essex girls are lovely.
