Guy is not going to last! And he’s not a Chelsea boy, Yaz seemed embarrassed of him at the table.
Joel is pushing Robbie too much and is going to overplay his hand.

@Underadandelion @Majorityofthree23

We should pitch it to C4. A ratings winner for sure.

kateandme · 28/03/2023 20:02

If your making mic make it mic.we are watching because we are under any "pretence" here. That why we watch it.we want it to be so outlandish that it's made in Chelsea! It's the whole point of the show.of them.

Oh dear - this is worrying…
I really enjoyed Bonjour Baby. (Which is surprisingly as sometimes Maeva gets right on my tits!) But it was surprisingly heartwarming.
But if this new series is as tedious as you’ve made out, then maybe it is finally time to ditch it. (And I’ve watched them all)

Jeez - all that drama over a kiss and some dates, when they were both single. FFS. Clearly this lot haven’t watched the old days when there was proper (fake) drama. 🙄
Next weeks trailer ‘you were fake with me.’ Is that it? That’s the best you can pull out?
oh dear….

Soooo disappointed in last night's episode. Virtually nothing of interest.

Willow is an utter bitch, every tilt of her head is nasty, really unpleasant woman, hope she doesn't stick around.

Izzy is attractive but seems utterly vacuous. Clearly wants to date Harvey but does little but giggle inanely and swish her lovely hair about while backtracking madly and agreeing she too wanted to be just friends. He is clearly staying friendly with her just to get to her (rather delicious) dad.

Yaz seems nice enough but like the others has little of interest to say. These new women seem to think all that's required is to flash their lovely teeth, giggle a lot and swish some hair.

All this hashing and re-hashing of THE BIG LIE (did she and Miles date or not? Did she and Miles kiss or not?) Why are the others so interested? It's an utterly nothing story. Even Miles looked utterly bored by the whole scenario.

Yaz's new boyfriend (they are girlfriend / boyfriend even though they hardly seem to know each other??) also seems quite nice but exceedingly dim and lacking in personality.

Lily and Billy? Bloody hell. I keep thinking Lily is Daisy from a few series ago.

I want more Miles and Emily, more Maeva and James. Where are Verity, Liv and Tristan?

Has Reza actually shrunk???

Robbie and Joel were actually the highlight and that's saying something. I truly see Robbie as some sort of Creature from the Dark, he has a seriously mean streak.

Did I see some guy called Temps????

Dreadful dreadful stuff. Last night, for the first time possibly ever, I seriously considered giving up.

Couldn't agree more. This new lot are dull as ditchwater. Willow especially gets right on my tits. I was bored out of my brain and I normally love MIC.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 29/03/2023 10:25

Right, that's sealed it. Reading your updates I'm not even going to bother with this series.
It's been a good ride but I am retiring from MiC.
Have fun all

Majorityofthree23 · 29/03/2023 15:26

Second episode slightly better.

Sux2buthen · 29/03/2023 18:16

I'll watch until the bitter endGrin
This episode was boring but sometimes the first ones are.

James being proud of his dad jumper because he's now a dad made the episode.

MarshaBradyo · 29/03/2023 22:33

Willow is v annoying

MarshaBradyo · 29/03/2023 22:49

I had to dig around the faded memories of my mind for this but Yas’ new boyfriend looks like Alex Cotton of ye olde times

Itjustgetsbetter · 30/03/2023 18:12

I really enjoyed Bonjour baby. I was very excited to see James and Maeva in Saffron Walden today as well.

I love the idea of a real housewives of Chelsea and seeing some of the old characters.

sweatervest · 30/03/2023 19:46

willow is literally carol baskin to me. i am finding them all so annoying but i can't stop watching it.
ollie and gareth = majorly annoying
all the rest of them = majorly annoying

plus i know someone who's an extra and i thought but didn't know for sure but all the club scenes are literally filmed in the mornings and there's no music on - it's just dubbed on later etc.

i think spenny should pop in just to shake things up a bit. vogue'd tell them all to get a grip and other things like that.

Oh thank you for this! Willow was reminding me of someone and I just could not put my finger on it! Excellent spot.

I also agree that none of them are likeable but I can't not watch.

Willow is dull despite her very best efforts.
Issy is dull and a teeny tiny bit desperate. Best thing about her is her dad.
It was so obvious Yas and Miles were lying in Bali about seeing each other. No doubt his idea so that he could keep his options open, under the pretence of protecting their friendship.

Yas was out of order technically saying that nothing was going on when it was, but talk about a complete non-issue.
But really to me Yas’ real problem with Issy was her kissing Harvey. I think that’s really what she was annoyed about.

I hate the way they are asking "How was Bali" when it was literally months ago.
And I hate that we are talking about Bali when it was literally months ago.

The episode felt more contrived than usual - and that's saying something.

Glassalmostfull · 31/03/2023 20:42

Willow is awful. So is the newish blonde one with the new boyfriend, stirring the pot all the time. Feel bad for Yas, although don’t think she’s into her new man much.

JudyGemstone · 01/04/2023 13:39

Just watching the first episode, was Miles wearing a pearl necklace? To a boxing session?

Willow and Lily are total non entities.

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 01/04/2023 17:49

Are any of the older cast in it? Apart from Miles. I'm just not interested in Yas, Willow of any of the lot who recently popped up.

Do Ollie and Gareth count? I find them really annoying so they make it worse for me. I'm missing Habs and Jamie!

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 01/04/2023 18:18

@ElsieWelsie agree re Ollie and Gareth. Ollie was light relief back in the day and I get his role as counsellor to the new lot but I don't find it genuine and mostly a way of talking about things that have happened off screen.

I miss the old days 🐣

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 01/04/2023 20:58

Christ.

Is this really what it has come to?

Aftersevens · 01/04/2023 22:28

God this is so boring.
I’m trying hard to care but
meh

Apollonia1 · 01/04/2023 22:44

I've been a fan since day 1, but it's got boring.

Willow - nasty, and looking for some screen time
Izzy - very pretty, seems a nice girl, but very young
Yas - like her. She could be a stayer, and be an OG in a few years. Can't see it lasting with Guy.
Can't stand Sam Prince. Inga is ok, but led by Sam
Ruby - nasty, and still wants Miles
Mikes - what has he done with his hair!! He used to be my secret crush, but the new hairstyle does not suit him
Robbie and Joel - no interest. Joel is suffocating and needy. Robbie has to study!
Ollie and Garett - fine, but a bit boring.
Harvey - clearly using Izzy for her connections.
Harvey's ex (can't remember her name) - yes, interesting. Like her boyfriend too.
More Maeva and James and baby.
Paris - no interest.
Lily - no interest.

We need more Liv, Sophie Hermann, Freddie.
Any of the old gang - Sam Thompson, Habbs, Jamie, etc

kateandme · 01/04/2023 22:45

It's so obviously scripted now.
And having followed a fair few on sm now I.jist can't unsee the down right lies.of how they live,do etc.
If they are going to continue to place themselves in this genre you'd have thought they would have a word to at least some pretence on their socials.
Otherwise just resume as a soap.
