I thought Fern 2 before they even opened their mouths.
Anyone else watching?

I did think it was Gemma 2 to start with as she walked in with the dogs and they sat on her lap. But then it all went a bit odd.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 08/04/2021 09:57

I want to see Fern 4/Michael 4 again.

lorca · 08/04/2021 10:58

I didn't watch this week because A) it had Jimmy Ah AH AH AHA Carr on it (can;t stand his forced, thin-lipped laugh, I can just about bear him when he is being po-faced Jack-Dee style) and B) - why the hell do I watch it?

I couldn't believe how dumbed-down BBC1 was getting - quite fun, and watchable in a nothing-else-on kinda way (esp Michael/Fern4 Grin but Stacey Dooley's 'is this your aass?' gets to me.

Love Bill Bailey tho. Might watch next week if a decent 'celeb' is on.

kindlyensure · 08/04/2021 11:41

We love it here. In fact the kids are bugging me to apply if there is a second series! Ha (we do have an unusual house tbf). Wot a hoot.

The only thing is I wish Stacey didn't ask the 'why do you love them?" question to the real Gemma/Fern etc coz they inevitably start tearing up and that emotion is quite hard to fake I think. Totes gives it away.

I though this week's was better - not immediately obvious as to the real Gemma and she seemed like a good sport at the end.

Also it gives work to jobbing actors - and the 'celebs' are always tempered and yet interesting in their analysis - they don't slag anyone off too much. (I though LLB was good on the house decor vs person who might live there analysis).

I'm not a Dooley fan tbh, but she is good in this. Everyone seems on the same side. A funny, feel-good programme.

I liked Jimmy Carr’s presence on it last night. I have grown to like him a lot watching Cats/Countdown. I thought he brought some much needed wit to proceedings last night.

My new guilty pleasure😀Episode 1 was pants, but 2 and 3 are hilarious.

Tribblers · 08/04/2021 20:18

I was howling at Pete flexing his forearms and Bill Bailey's 'come on Pete you're better than that'.

I thought it was 2 from the off mainly because of how she was dressed, but 3 was really convincing, especially getting all up in arms about her artwork not being a print.

Standrewsschool · 08/04/2021 21:39

This is one of hose programmes that you think is totally crazy, and a really stupid concept, but then you get drawn into it, and start guessing who it could be.

I guessed correctly it was no 2. It was obviously not no.4, who was too young for that house, and it was obviously not her style.

ChocOrange1 · 08/04/2021 22:10

I am loving this show. Its total trash, which usually I would hate, but I'm enjoying having something lighthearted to watch and I'm terrible at guessing.
I did actually guess number 2 this week. 1 out of 3 so far.
I can't believe anyone thought number 3 was convincing. She kept going on about her ex, even in front of her real "husband".

lorca · 09/04/2021 10:41

I thought he brought some much needed wit to proceedings last night I actually thought LLB and Rob Rinder were hilarious. But then I didn't see this week's, due to hating Jimmy Carr, so wouldn't know.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 09/04/2021 14:44

Rob Rinder was very funny. I thought he should have been a regular. He was really into it.

NobbySignaler · 09/04/2021 15:19

I watched this on Wednesday and although on the surface seemed rather weird and a bit rubbish, it manages to draw you in somehow.

Is it always huge houses they look at? I can see myself finding it a bit tedious if it's just another programme with people showing off their wealth.

Iwantcauliflowercheese · 09/04/2021 15:51

I guessed 2. Why? The others all had beautiful straight teeth and she didn't. Therefore, she wasn't an actor.

justamushypea · 09/04/2021 16:10

I didn't want to watch it but got too invested and ended up wanting to know which Gemma it was. It made me laugh how they kept bitching about each other!

But yes I totally agree with @NobbySignaler, I'm tired of all these 'look at my huge expensive house' programmes. So over it now.

BobBobBobbin · 10/04/2021 22:52

I’ve just binged all three episodes - it’s definitely so-bad-it’s-good territory, and really should be in the ‘come dine with me’ slot on C4 rather than prime time Bbc 1...but I loved it Grin

Guessed all 3 correctly so far - the Michael’s were the hardest and had me second guessing myself a bit, whereas I was confident about Fern from the get-go, and I immediately picked out the correct Gemma based on her look - the others all looked like they’d picked out the stuff in their wardrobe that most closely fitted the brief, whereas Gemma 2 dresses like someone who has that taste in interiors.

The biggest unanswered question is where the hell they all got their money from to afford those fancy houses!

Catslovepies · 11/04/2021 09:44

I'm starting to quite like this show more now and I'm glad I've stuck with it. I guessed 2 out of 3 correctly so far.

SunInTheSkyYouKnowHowIFeel · 11/04/2021 19:48

I found the Michael's the hardest to guess too.

What i'd like to know is did they film the celebrity bit all in one go, over the space of 1 or 2 days? As they are always wearing the same clothes. Imagine being the celebs and having to sit through 5 or 6 episodes one after the other Grin

DobbyTheHouseElk · 15/04/2021 20:46

When is the next episode on or was that it?

SouthOfFrance · 15/04/2021 20:49

Tonight at 9pm Grin

Anyone else watching? I'm invested in this now.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 15/04/2021 20:51

Ooh thank you. Thought it was yesterday.

SouthOfFrance · 15/04/2021 20:56

Same here, I was genuinely sad when I saw it wasn't on last night, and it was tonight instead, was really looking forward to an evening of weirdness.

Youdontknowwhatyoureonabout · 15/04/2021 21:04

Here we all are again Grin

SouthOfFrance · 15/04/2021 21:12

Could you even move house in April 2020??

OK, guessing Mitch 2 as an opening guess.

Toughie · 15/04/2021 21:12

I’m back again ... already edging towards Mitch 3 but I’ve only got one right so far ....

Mitch 4 is straight
