Seriously, does not one of you watch TOWIE?

I need to chat about it, there are no threads which I can find.

Loads of you watch Made in Chelsea so you aren't above any of this crap.

Anyone?

What I don't get is, how do so many of them end up with their own shops? Surely you need a good load of capital and some business sense to run your own business. How likely is it, in any group of friends, for so many of them to have their own shop?

UnknownGnome · 05/07/2013 23:11

And what happened with Bobby trying to be a dad?? Random pointless filler. Like those two girls in the last series planning their baptisms but only ever talking about the after party Hmm

UnknownGnome · 05/07/2013 23:12

I may seem like I hate it but I really love it. I love to hate it. Or hate to love it Grin

Dan's Michael Jackson tattoo is really dodgy! Tom P does have nice eyes. I miss the Mark and Arg banter.

Wayne Linekar was such a rude hideous man.

Apparently someone from the past is going to make a reappearance on Sunday.

A lot of the TOWIE people do PA's and promote clubs nights. Lucy's Dad is well off. Sam's stepdad is in prison for some money heist, doesn't take much of a leap to guess where the capital came from.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/07/2013 16:14

prob lydia or mark or lauren, one of the oldies

valiumredhead · 06/07/2013 17:07

unknown I expect the production company have a lot to do with setting them up. I have it on good authority that it is only Mick the club owner who is loaded the rest hire cars/rent flats and companies loan them things to wear for advertising. The production company flies them out to Marbs to film and there's always a stylist and make up artist on hand.

In the first series I was told that they got 75 quid an episode but now it's much more especially as they do personal appearances as already mentioned.

Joey really is that thick last time I said that I was slaughtered and told he was an astute business man by someone who didn't actually watch towieConfused

valiumredhead · 06/07/2013 17:09

I have out on good authority = Dh's colleague lives in Essex and knows themGrin

RoseFlowerFairy · 06/07/2013 17:30

Bobbie, obviously has no money in the background or not much of an income as Gemma kept telling him he had no money when he was thinking of getting a surrogate.

I wonder if the production company sort them out with interior decoration in their homes too, as they are all lovely, nobody lives in a dump in TOWIE.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/07/2013 20:39

They all seem to live with their parents - prob as mainly 20ish

But seem to drive posh cars or hire them

None of them seem to have proper Jobs apart for
Having shops

scottishmummy · 07/07/2013 17:53

Watch it occasionally,high comedy and lots of shuuuuuuuut up from queen of bling
Don't watch made in chelsea

UnknownGnome · 07/07/2013 20:10

I also found the whole 'let's have a posh frock party and invite all of our friends to celebrate the fact that we've been going out together for three when years' hilarious. So self absorbed. Three years. Not thirty!

I know the producers probably Set it up but, still!

RoseFlowerFairy · 07/07/2013 20:50

On again tonight, wonder who this old face is.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/07/2013 21:06

3 years and invite all, and not even an engagement

just seems theres party after party

is it really like that in essex?

Karbea · 07/07/2013 21:22

When bobby was first in towie wasn't he setting up a hairdressers?

That part of Essex is all about going out, not necessarily parties, but clubs/bars every weekend. I used to live there, I miss it :(

Sparklysilversequins · 07/07/2013 23:37

Oh I enjoyed seeing Arg's fat face choking on his burger

Sparklysilversequins · 07/07/2013 23:38

He just carried on stuffing food in while he was still recovering from the choking too Shock. He's revolting.

RoseFlowerFairy · 07/07/2013 23:41

The old face was Debbie, Lydia's Mum Grin

Plopsicle · 08/07/2013 09:28

Arg is repulsive, I don't know why he seems to think he is too good for Gemma. Hate how he always laughs hysterically at his own jokes.

valiumredhead · 08/07/2013 13:01

I think Debbie had had done work done on her face, something was different.

What was the kidnap that Mario the Weasel was on about?Confused

Plopsicle · 08/07/2013 14:29

Debbie did look very fresh faced didn't she. Her hair looked a lot better too.

I think mario was talking about Bentley following lucy off the park when they had that big row. Dan had to take him back to mario a few days later.

RoseFlowerFairy · 08/07/2013 14:47

I loved Debbie's hair, the way she had it styled last night really suited her.

Wishfulmakeupping · 08/07/2013 20:15

Agree Debbie looked really good, was hoping for lauren or any or someone to pop up.
Abi's party looked utterly shite didn't it they all looked so bored

Karbea · 08/07/2013 21:00

I wish Abi and her friend would just leave they aren't interesting at all.

Sparklysilversequins · 09/07/2013 00:54

I hate to say it but Abi is really pretty and Diags while being funny etc is not. She's been on a few unsuccessful dates with the "lookers" hasn't she? Seems to me she's just desperate for a boyfriend and it doesn't much matter who it is as long as he's on TOWIE.
