Dh would have me believe I am :) he absolutely hates it with a passion!

I, on the other hand, can't bloody wait! It's my guilty pleasure.

Not watched last nights yet was frank or the fish finger in it?

Fairylea · 20/03/2014 18:30

Nope, no frank or fish finger :)

I actually love the style and clothes as well. I always think they look bloody cold though. They must live in a part of Essex that doesn't have the same climate as the rest of the UK!

Well you can have Lewis and I'll have the rest of them Dan. Or Elliott. I don't mind.

Done! Smile

Elliot's sister has been in this before, she was in the second (and maybe the third) series.

Wishfulmakeupping · 20/03/2014 18:46

No frank or fish finger - sort it out towie!
Leah wrights back then Hmm

AlpacaYourThings · 20/03/2014 18:51

Yeah, she wasn't that interesting the first time

MikeLitoris · 20/03/2014 18:53

I'm not a Leah fan either. Hope she isn't in it much.

Did anyone see the bit in the Fail about Elliott and Jess having a massive argument? Wonder how much will be shown on Sunday?

Wishfulmakeupping · 20/03/2014 18:56

Yes I saw that looks like an actual 'real ' argument though so don't think we will :(

AlpacaYourThings · 20/03/2014 19:17

Leah made a bizarre commen in the car to Elliot, it wad something about Ricky being difficult with Jess behind closed doors. Did anyone else notice that?

Amandine29 · 20/03/2014 20:24

I saw that. To a certain extent I think she's actually quite perceptive...moaning about Ricky is only going to push Jess towards him. And Ricky does give Jess these big speeches which end up with her acquiescing. It's quite sad really.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2014 08:17

Obv Leah was so interesting the first time round that I forgot her Grin

Ricky seems to love Jess and vice versus - all her family will do is push her towards him

Wonder what he does as a job - to be able to support Jess - 'like the weight men do doe their woman'

Tho he also said that Ricky will never be a wright - this is true as Jess will take his name :)

Nanny pat talked sense :)

Wishfulmakeupping · 21/03/2014 13:12

Hard to feel any sympathy for Ricky but it must be a nightmare having Caril as your MIL is was vicious with lauren goodger

Ivehearditallnow · 21/03/2014 13:54

Carol is such a hag! I'm waiting for the Twitter cheat revelations about 'Big Mark' to start. Remember when he told Arg/Mario 'I always say, admit nothing'?? He sounded well dodgy bet he's done the dirty on Carol a fair few times.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2014 16:43

Good point. Bet mark senior has a few skeletons

I'm just waiting for the other siblings of Jess and mark to appear

AlpacaYourThings · 21/03/2014 18:29

Yes, I agree Amandine

I remember that, Iveheard

Their younger sister Natalya has been in it a few times. I don't their their other brother Josh is interested in being in it. He plays football professionally so not sure he needs the £80 a day! Grin

AlpacaYourThings · 21/03/2014 18:29

*don't think their

Fairylea · 21/03/2014 18:38

I really don't like Ricky. I think he's quite a bully actually, the way he talks over Jess at times is awful and when they had all that cheating stuff he virtually bulldozered her feelings by shouting her down. Can imagine he'd be a controlling bastard to be married to.

I want to like Ricky but have to agree fairy he is very childish.

AlpacaYourThings · 21/03/2014 20:10

The Wrights seem very sexist. Men should provide for their women...

WowserBowser · 22/03/2014 17:36

Ricky always seems like he has a bad temper.

He gets those red blotches on his face when he's angry, so does Arg.

Cheboludo · 23/03/2014 12:41

Is there room for another one? I couldn't figure out who was watching this programme with orange dolly birds and boys and then accidentally watched 5 mins of the 4th series and became obsessed!

Fairylea & Wowser - I completely agree about Ricky. There's a really nasty side to him, he seems angry, sneery, immature and bitchy. I can't remember a single scene where he's come across well. I too think he's controlling and possessive; he's the character who I dislike the most.

Gemma needs to realise that creating arguments with other people might get her screen time but it makes her appear irrational, controlling and vindictive. The first series she was in she came across as quite sweet and vulnerable. Now she just shouts people down and bullies Bobby. I'm so glad Dani called her out on that - the whole old people's home fiasco with Lauren & Chloe only showed Gemma in a bad light. Arg is an immature idiot who will never, ever have a serious relationship with her so she needs to move on.

Charlie seems to be a complete prick, I can't understand Ferne going back again and again.

I miss Charlie King, I thought he was really sweet. And I thought Lydia was great with Tom, why she stayed with Arg so long is a mystery.

I really like Elliot, he might be hot-headed but he's coming across as pretty honest and decent. Plus, he's eye-candy for the over-20s viewers. I wish Mick Norcross would come back, there was something very attractive about him.

Lord, looks like I think about this show waaaaay too much.

Wishfulmakeupping · 23/03/2014 13:07

Cheb have you watched the older episodes yet if not go back to the start series 2 was amazing it's been downhill ever since

Cheboludo · 23/03/2014 13:40

Wishful - I watched the 4th series, was bereft when it ended and then immediately bought the DVDs of the first 3 series & watched the whole thing in 1 week! Blush

Funny, I preferred Mark with Sam. I thought Lauren came across as a dreadful shrew. Especially in the first episode when she is standing up shouting at Lucy (?) Mark treated Lauren appallingly and yet, somehow, I like him much better than her.

MikeTheShite · 23/03/2014 15:18

cheb. I agree with you. I think its the fact she let him treat her how he did. I did think maybe he brought out the worst in her but now I think she's most probably like that all the time

Cheboludo · 23/03/2014 15:42

Mike - I think they were probably locked into a toxic teenage relationship, it didn't grow (or improve) as they did. There's no excuse for cheating but she was really foolish for going back to him every time. And she played the victim card a lot but never stopped to think about the fact that she kept going back to him thus validating his treatment of her.

Ah, analysing almost real telly relationships is fun Smile

MikeLitoris · 23/03/2014 16:00

I always wondered why I love like Mark Wright but have a strong dislike for Lauren. Him and Mich Keegan are the most gorgeous couple ever

Tonight is the boxing match between Elliott and Lewis. Elliott is featuring quite heavily in my dirty dreams ATM. He was talking bollocks about the mans mans stuff but I can't help really fancying him.
