so, a bit like Big Brother then :)
But with people who knew each other
And all bought shares in the same hair extensions factory

I like Nanny Pat - she's the only one who looks half normalSmile

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2012 22:14

seriously, I hope this fad of aspiring to look like Jordan is over before DD is much older.
I'd rather she aspired to be like Kathy Burke

Some telly is so crap you just have to watch it.

petitfiloser · 18/05/2012 22:20

it's a fuckin piece of shit

MaureenMLove · 18/05/2012 22:21

Tis true. Wish I could remember the reason. They also have to watch an episode of Eastenders! They'll all get A*'s won't they! That'll be why. Minimum effort from teachers, for maximum results! Wink

petitfiloser · 18/05/2012 22:21

yeah come on do we want our dd's to grow up and be like this? fuck off, do we want them to grow up and be marie curie fuck yes!!!

teahouse · 18/05/2012 22:23

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2012 22:23

SPB I did read they only get £25 an episode or something.
But Mark with the teeth Wright is owner/manager (or something) of a club in Brentwood.

My DD has a passion for pink tracksuits - a la Jordan before she had her black hair and looked like a transvestite- and Jodie Marsh.
I'm hoping it's a phase.

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2012 22:25

so how do they fund this lifestyle?
their lips alone must cost more than that to maintain

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/05/2012 22:25

Aw Feck, my DH has put the telly on and can't find the remote. It's on ITV +1.

Brain bleach now Shock

Gumby · 18/05/2012 22:26

They get money by doing magazine articles, columns, fashion Shultz, openings of things

That cara and billie are right bitches calling carol wright mutton dressed as lamb
They hardly lookers

MaureenMLove · 18/05/2012 22:26

Yeah, £25 per episode and god knows how much for all the other TV appearences they all make! That Joey fella is never off the screen! And the other one that was in the jungle.

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2012 22:28
