TOWIE

[NotGeoffVader]

I watched this for the first time. If they got Jedward on it it would increase the intelligence factor. Just one thing about it - why???

(I had been told to watch it as a friend was meant to be featured in it. They weren't! )

Does anyone know how they all make their cash apart from the businesses they show?

Armed robbery - apparently. Thought it was the step-dad?

I'd meant to ask about the prison thing too.

I thought it was selling drugs (Sam's stepdad in prison I mean).

I did roar when Joey was on about the privations of prison 'there's no ITV2'

Carol Wright is a caaaah. I hate how horrible she was to Lauren G.

I couldn't stand Mark mind you, he is a handsome bloke but as soon as he opens his mouth to speak he looks ugly.

Lydia and Lucy are very sweet, and I love Lydia's mum.

I like Lydias mum too. Mad as a box of frogs but nice.

She is very supportive of Lydia, and comes across as a lovely mother.

She certainly had the measure of Arg as well, was rather contemptuous of him iirc.

I am glad others have noticed how bloody weird that bloke is when he sings. It makes me cringe to death.

His is SUCH a weak man.

When he was caught out slagging Billie and Cara off and tried to get Gemma to take the blame (ages ago).

And always in the shadow of Mark.

Ghastly fat git.

Arg can't sing can he? I have to mute the tv when he does it

I recorded watched a rerun of the Christmas special from 2 years ago loser and it had Arg in a Christmas Val Doonican jumper singing Christmas carols in his supposed Dean Martin voice - it was excrutiating.

What the hell was Lydia so smitten by? Yuk.

Naive Young lurve, innit?

Re: the dad business:

• the dad was charged with domestic violence against his new partner

• the step-dad was charged with taking part in a £1000000 gold bullion heist

(so says Mr Google)

Yes I never got the lydia and arg thing at all.

I'd never be surprised if lauren and mark get back together

Lydias mum is a legend!
Lydia seemed to change quite a bit post arg from dippy and weird to smart business woman - at least I hope it's all real. She has a sister called Georgia who's not in the show - kind of wish she was.

LG grew on me post mark but she wears some too small clothes!

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened either.

I would love to see the expression on sour lemon Carol's face.

I think Lauren G is really sweet. Seems very vulnerable.

Omg caramel how Random and Essex!

Lyds mum debbie is a foster carer and has written a couple of articles and i think shes italian. Marios bro in law is tom fletcher from mcfly. Just thought id throw a few little titbits in.

Lauren G is very pretty I think but yes doesn't dress well but I hate how catty the other girls and blokes are about her.

Now see - I read that as Romford and Essex...

Osmosis.

I love it too and, like the rest of you, really don't like Arg. I have to say I'm not keen on Gemma either, I think they deserve each other because they are both publicity seekers who try far too hard.

Lucy is gorgeous, I wish I looked like that.

I used to like Gemma a lot.

She makes me laugh, me and dd are in stitches usually at what she comes out with, she has a very funny turn of phrase sometimes.

She is so spiteful to Charlie. How can she? It would be like kicking a cat.

Gemma used to be funny but she is quite a bit older than the rest - it would be like me going out with them [ignores fact I've just turned 40]
