I watched the first episode but found it all a bit of a cringe TBH. The format is really strange. Should I persevere?

Oh it’s very cringe. But moments of hilarity if you can bear the cringe.

Bobby Seagull is in this?? How random!

Appalonia · 04/03/2022 16:53

I absolutely love it! It's such good fun and great escapism. I'm rooting for Ards (?) to get with Anthea, he lurves her!

Appalonia · 04/03/2022 16:54

Sorry, Args.

I really wanted to like it, but thought it was awful.

It’s awful. In a good way though. It’s fun. Poor Anthea with Arg lusting after her.

I’m watching. From behind my fingers.

Watching Arg go all unnecessary over Anthea is not lovely.

It is like catching a glimpse of a stalker in a bush outside your living room. Knocking one out.

As I said. Not lovely.

I got up to the bit where they had to put on dodgy American accents and throw water over a poor man who was probably wondering whether his tuition fee at RADA was really worth it...

OhMygodddd · 09/03/2022 16:10

Arg is such a creep! He can’t open his mouth without coming across as a creep, why does he have to sexualise everything!! It’s like he forgot to grow out of his teenage stage!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 09/03/2022 16:17

He is managing to drool like he hasn’t come out of terrible twos though.

Yes creepy Arg. I hope Anthea isn’t going to take his bait…

I’d have chosen Tom.

Seems like a decent chap and a fabulous dancer. He’d need a forklift though.

His family seem like ruddy good eggs too though so it isn’t a surprise.

They have my fantasy sofa. Company and dogs and fancy pieces (cakes). I’d love to be a mate of the Malones.

Appalonia · 10/03/2022 09:06

I know it's crap, but when they're dancing and it all goes wrong, it does genuinely make me laugh! There's not much funny out there right now, so I'm grateful for that. Also when the men were trying to lift the women in the water and nearly all dropped them, was hilarious!

Crinkle77 · 10/03/2022 20:05

I love it. Its a bit of escapism amongst all the doom and gloom. I put a post on twitter saying it was trash telly but was loving it and Bobby Seagull replied to say he was glad I was enjoying it. I felt awful and apologised for calling it trash.

Appalonia · 11/03/2022 00:10

Aw Bobby replied to your tweet! He seems like a l lovely guy actually. Oh you must have been mortified...

Well, I think Arg came in his pants a few times this evening. Anthea is (hopefully) a very good actress.
Is it wrong to fancy Lee Ryan?

Loved Arg and Anthea, very sexy! So glad they got through. Lee Ryan was pretty good too.

Rummikub · 14/03/2022 23:35

I’ve been loving this!
I caught it by accident and was hooked.
Dd2 thinks it’s trash though.
I liked their joy in their of the film.
Lee and saffron
Arch and anthem were both great.

Has Anthea been in strictly yet?

Rummikub · 15/03/2022 22:10

Anyone watched/ watching the final?
Just me?

Sparklingbrook · 15/03/2022 22:12

Is it on now? C4?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 15/03/2022 22:12

I’m on call. I’ll be watching tomorrow 🙂

Rummikub · 15/03/2022 22:13
