AIBU to just want to TOWIE lot to sod off?

[BupcakesandCunting]

What are they actually for? There's not an intelligent one amongst them, as evidenced by the new advert for their vapid show, where they've obviously been asked "what's your best asset?" and they're all there going "urrrrrggghhh" "durrrrrrr" "hmmmmm" "whassanasset?"

To coin a Charlie Brooker term, they're all so thick that their faces appear on the banknotes in ThickoLand.

I can't believe that it can be that interesting to watch the goings-on of a group of people whose only challenge in life seems to be 'dark or extra-dark Fake Bake.' I think it's a sad sign of the times that we celebrate people for being vapid and vain and make heroes of people because they're a bit dense.

AIBU?

I've only ever watched 10 mins of TOWIE and couldn't understand what people saw in it.

Then again, it'd be a boring world if we all liked the same stuff.

This is true, Worra.

I think they have to deliberately over do the 'thickness'

Some if them run their own businesses which Is more than a lot if us manage. And they have made themselves money from TOWIE and got new business/jobs off the back of it, so perhaps they aren't as thick as they seem after all!

YANBU, they are a waste of oxygen and I think I will kill someone if I have to hear "shut uuuuup" one more time. I have never seen the bloody programme but they are everywhere.

i don't understand the premise of the show at all.

I don't buy that about not being that thick because they've made money from TOWIE! They've only made money from TOWIE because there are people out there that enjoy watching it. They haven't had to put any effort in, apart from maybe try and breathe whilst talking which is probably a mean feat for some of the denser cast members.

Aggggghhhhh "Shuuuuut uuuuuup!" makes me murdery.

I haven't seen the show, but am sick of seeing them plastered over the daily fail online, when I want to get my sleb gossip.

I still can't understand what is real and what isn't. So I don't watch it. But I agree, they are everywhere.

They are thick - believe me

I think you're just Well Jel

I have never seen the show as I hate reality stuff. You can't escape them though. Bunch of vacuous wankers.
Don't know why people find that sort of programme entertaining.

How many are there now - Geordie, Chelsea and Essex - is that it?
So what's next -Glasgow? Cardiff?

Their awful,but not half as bad as the producers/managers behind them pulling all the strings.

Appalling, vile shite

Boycott the Mail Online and embrace catch-up telly. Bang! and the TOWIE is gone.

They need to come here and do one: There's No Place Like Dudley.

Scoff as Beryl from Greggs on the High St gets reprimanded for taking home the surplus sausage rolls. Laugh as Kayleigh and Leigh-Anne plan for a night out in Dudley and can't work out how to attach their acrylic hair extensions. Marvel at the locals in The White Horse fighting over the last bag of scratchings.

There's no Place Like the West Country

Marvel as teenage Leanne (never left Devon, lives two doors up from Mum) expands on her theories about multiculturalism, employment of immigrants and That Slag Tanita. Follow Ted as he joins the Young Farmers Carnival Float Team and sees a girl .

It's a rich seam - no shops, not much to do if you've no money = loads of feuds and fights

Sue you forgot the sublime 'Desperate Scousewives'

I love watching TOWIE and unbelievable, so does my DH. I really hate the holding up of such vacuous knobs as heroes, but I do find it very funny! Also agree that there is no way they are that thick in real life.

I dunno. Mark Wright on I'm a Celebrity was a special kind of thick. So stupid that words of one syllable proved too much for him on occasion.

Have they done the Scousers too? Blimey

It's only a matter of time before they come to Westward Ho! then...

I saw a bit of TOWIE for the first time last week and I was transfixed by two of the women who looked as if they were wearing someone elses teeth.

Was it Chloe and Lauren? Huge, white, plastic teeth that were so big they could hardly talk and certainly couldn't close their mouths properly

Chloe. I've seen her in one of those sleb gossip expensive glossy magazines what I like to read. She looks like an alien wearing a horse's teeth.

I was watching this on a plane recently on my way back to the middle east. There was this (very elderly) Muslim gentleman sat next to me. Now again he'd look up at the rubbish I was watching, but mainly ignored it. Until, that is, one of the girls (sorry - don't know their names) had a little pet pig which she put on a lead. He looked absolutely horrified. There are no pigs here because they are considered dirty. You certainly wouldn't have one in your house, let alone take it to party. Not only that, but the girl had painted the pig's claws the same colour as her own nails. So they went to the party, whereupon the pig wee'd on the floor, in the middle of the party. All these glamorous girls were running around looking for tissues to mop it up, then the pig just licked all the wee from the floor.

Honestly, the face of the guy sitting next to me was a picture.

I have to confess to quite enjoying it. It is depressing and transfixing at the same time. Joey Essex is the most stupid by far. He makes mark wright appear to be a genius.
Yet they are all very very rich so they are obviously doing something right.
