Anyone watching this tonight?

It's a guilty pleasure of mine

Why are the two black women always drinking out of Pot Noodle containers? Is it Pot Noodle juice or something else?

Is the lad in the household with German Goth dad a brother or a boyfriend (if latter, why always there?) I would love to know how German met his wife.

What happened to the couple who used to watch in bed?

Brenda and her friend are growing on me. The discussion about Michael Jackson's 'paediatric' tendencies was superb tonight.

I love it but does anyone think it's getting more staged?

I think the posh couple are totally putting on an act for the cameras which involves dressing up, full make up, glass in hand and saying things they think will be funny. It's like watching a performance. The others not quite to that extent.

Stephanie's posh accent slips sometimes, I think it's put on.

Yes I think she hams up her poshness

She's not as posh as he is.

My DH insists one of the two older gents is known for something else. I'll tell him it was Heir Hunters!

Yes Opal.
Who sits like that watching tv? [hmmm]
That's the trouble with stuff like this. Once the magic is captured and noted, it begins to slip.
The gay guys and black women are starting to ham it up too.
Not so the German/Scousers I feel.

Agree re the gay guys.

They don't live together do they?
They are always in lounge waer type clothing but beardy said to the other, when offered a drink 'I can't I'm driving'.
That seems weird. Woudn't he know he w2as driving?

Also how do they do it exactly? No one could've predicted what night Nelson Mandela died. I don't honestly think they would all be watching the news every night at that time. Especially the children.

Maybe they just have the cameras rolling any time they watch TV and then caught people seeing the announcement on TV

I did really like the gay guys but one of them said a couple of things last week that went too far I thought. It was when Nicole S was on and he said 'looks like someone has come all over her' cos she had too much baby oil on. Then to hammer it home he said 'she looks all jizzed up'. Just thought that was too crass for my liking.

I read an article about it recently in the Saturday Telegraph. They have camera crew in the homes who then go through all the footage. They claim to filter out obvious showing off, but I am less and less convinced about that.

I loved last night's Christmas episode and I'm going against the grain here but I really like the geeky guys. I also love the Jewish family, especially last night when the little one directioner revealed she'd eaten bacon! (In a moment of teen rebellion, not because I wanted to see her go against her religion. I hope you know what I mean there!!)

Posh guy looks like Kate Middletons dad

One of the gay guys referred to "being able to see her beef curtains" while watching Rebecca Adlington on I'm a Celeb the other week, thought that was pretty crass too.

watched it last night and laughed a lot. The posh couple are clearly shit faced - esp the bloke that in itself is enough to make me laugh.

Also laughed everytime the black ladies said that Susan Boyle was Irish

I love the old couple too. "Show us your nicks, go on" !

I'm watching the Susan Boyle one. Adult-son-living-at-home is a little shit laughing at her get nervous and not handling it in the way he thinks she should.

Yes the beef curtains line made me wince as well. He seems to be just out to shock in the more recent eps. They all seem to be playing up to the cameras a bit too much now which kind of makes sense as it has become a big hit now. They obviously know that so they are no longer as natural as they once were which is a shame.

My sister saw June on a train to Liverpool the other week and was quite made up to see her in the flesh!

June is a good spot wintera's sister!

I don't like the boyfriend who sits on the left. The guy on the right seems so nice and the one on the left is getting nastier with his comments.

The mum from the Tapper family was in my year at school.

Are the actually in a relationship or just mates? They don't seem together to me. Sometimes I feel the dark haired one is just there because he feels he has to be.

New series starts Friday 7th March!
