Etc

I watch it but disagree strongly with writing on an open forum who you don’t like. They are ordinary people, don’t be an arse.

LoopyLooooo · 19/04/2024 21:18

I like it.

My faves are the Malones and the Sadikis.

Least favourites are the two girls who pretend to be thick. It's not cute and it's not funny, but I suppose it works for Joey Essex, so 🙄

BettyShagter · 19/04/2024 21:20

I love Jenny and Lee in the caravan.

They're hilarious!

YeahComeOnThen · 19/04/2024 21:21

Yes. I hate most reality tv. I used to think it was a ridiculous premise for a show (watching people watching tv WTF) but I love it now.

Actually, VERY surprisingly I love all of them over the different series.

I don't have favourites or dislike any of them.

the fact that so many of them are as thick as shirt planks, just makes it funny. It's a given laugh 😆

tell us more about what you think

inthekyoo · 19/04/2024 21:21

I do miss Leon & June.

I think they pick too many odd programmes, to get reactions. It’s a pity..

Jellykat · 19/04/2024 21:22

I watch it, love Giles and Mary.. she acts like she cant stand him Grin

@LoopyLooooo I don't think any pretending is required.

id like to be friends with them but I expect I'd need some Tena Lady

What are we voting YABU or YANBU for!?

See I don't find them funny at all because they're too false.

Oh I do love the brother and giggly sister, though I can't remember their names?

And Giles and Mary.

ineedtostopbeingdramaticfirst · 19/04/2024 21:25

I love it. I want to be on it. My favourites are-

Amira and Amani
Jenny and Lee
Ellie and Izzy

IveShaggedSomeMingers · 19/04/2024 21:25

A relative and OH is on it and they are brilliant IMO. Completely natural.

AdultReindeer · 19/04/2024 21:27

I love the Nuttys, Sophie and Pete, and Jenny and Lee.

LunaNorth · 19/04/2024 21:31

Jenny and Lee for me. I grew up in Hull, so they make me feel nostalgic.

I like Amira and Amani and the lovely Sadiquis, too.

Youcannotbeseriousreally · 19/04/2024 21:33

I can’t stand the Malones and his feet with shoes on by the cakes!!! Sophie and Pete kill me!!

FrannieGallops · 19/04/2024 21:36

We are watching it now.

Like most of them apart from Amira and Amani and the 2 thick as mince women from Durham (one of whom is Georgia). I also want to murder Giles.

KitKatChunki · 19/04/2024 21:37

Love them all. It's the one programme I'm guaranteed to literally laugh out loud to and makes me feel like I'm not going crazy alone in this country (if I read just the papers I sometimes wonder if I'm an alien)!

Ourshoddyhouse · 19/04/2024 21:37

Pete & Sophie, The Malone's, Ellie & Izzie and The Sadikis.

I'm not keen on the mum & son I've forgotten their names.

Idontownanairfryer · 19/04/2024 21:37

Love Sophie & Pete, Amira and Amani, the sisters and The Sadiquis

Perhaps shouldn’t have said who don’t you like, didn’t really mean it in a negative way, can keep it to who we do 🤷🏻‍♀️

This the Scottish, young couple seem a good match too

I like most of them, Sophie and Pete really make me laugh.
The girls from the NE, I can’t tell if they’re putting on their lack of general knowledge.

garlictwist · 19/04/2024 21:39

I really like the brother and sister in Blackpool and the hull caravan pair.

ToxicChristmas · 19/04/2024 21:42

I don't like it as much as I did -if you watch back at the very beginning it was much more natural and a better and more "normal" range of programs (rather than purposeful shocking ones).
I still watch it and enjoy it though.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 19/04/2024 21:42

Love the Malones and their endless daft Rottweilers.

XenoBitch · 19/04/2024 21:43

I only watch it when DP comes round, and I could not name any of the people on it... but it does open you up to new things to watch.

IMustDoMoreExercise · 19/04/2024 21:46

I think that Amira and Amani are the most naturally funny.

Some of the others seem staged.
