NEW MIC - who’s watching?

[MaryStuart]

Do we still care?
Well I do, cos I’m tuning in.

Ruby / Rez….. oh pleeeaaassseee NOOOOO.

Oh go on then dagger 😁

might be after the weekend but you’ve roused my beak 😆

It's back. Monday 9th October

thanks! 👌😎

Well I watched Corsica.

That bloody dinner party.

What a pack of absolute shits. I don’t care for the new romance. I’m not buying it by the way. Sam couldn’t pull a light switch let alone a couple of bonny lassies like that. But the diners were on them like a labrador on chips - quite forgetting that most of them have indulged in illicit romances/cheating/general cuntfuckery. They are all as clarty as the devil’s arse.

Miles is still an arsehole.

Liv was also an arsehole. Backed up by the little henchmonkey.

And of course Rubbyrubbyrubby made it AAAAAAAAAAAALL about her. Tae fuck.

Yeah I think it’s more and more apparent they’re all just not very nice people. Maybe they’ll look back one day when they’re older and wiser and cringe at their behaviour.

not a good reflection on the privileged classes at all.

Maybe they’ll look back one day when they’re older and wiser and cringe at their behaviour.

Aye. That’s as may be.

Although I swear some of them on there are older than my mam.

Anyone seen E1 yet? It was very odd, even though I watched Corsica I feel like I've missed an episode in between somehow. The "previously" bit showed Ruby at the dinner party having a go at Yas and sympathising with Inga but now she's told Inga that she's on Yes and Princey's side?

Still can't work out what's happened to Reza's face - tear trough fillers gone wrong maybe? He looks like he's been stung by bees, poor chap.

Found Robbie and Joel's counselling session rather odd. I can't imagine Robbie will be in MIC much longer if he's actually started a training contract now. Time off to film a reality TV show wouldn't fly in any reputable law firm I know.

Enjoying seeing smug cool girl Willow get her comeuppance as fuckboy Harvey moves on to his next victim. Let's hope mad Imogen reappears in future episodes to gloat...

Ruby’s 180 was bizarre. Who ‘declares their loyalty’ publicly to a couple? Is she planning to raise an army? Join a mafia clan? Or 12 years old? Living with Sam Prince though- I wouldn’t wish that on anyone so I think maybe she’s been kidnapped by aliens or something and she’s not responsible for what she says at the moment.

I felt for Inga being between a rock and a hard place saying she was totally fine with the Princey Yas couple just so that she wasn’t left out of things :(

I agree Joel and Robbie are soon out- they’ll leave and it won’t be because of Geronimo but Robbie’s future. They wont need the few £££ a day from MIC soon.

Tristan is channeling Daniel Craig so hard at the moment. Yas clearly realised she has backed the wrong horse. She’ll be off very shortly back to Tristan. And I really want Liv to come in with an amazing new bloke soon that isn’t any of them and they can all move on.

I absolutely loved the Willow, Bella, Paris supergroup. Those three could rule the show with their fashion cool, real relationship chat and haughty singleness. Hope they make that trio a mainstay.

No idea why anyone would think Willow deserves anything other than sympathy or head tilting concern, for dating wooden dull Harvey? I mean he’s well beneath her pulling power, but it’s not her fault she has awful taste in men. He’s got literally nothing to say apart from plugging his boring beer job. She should make her fashion girl glossy posse the focus for now.

What on Earth do they see in Harvey?

Every time he treats them badly and they get upset but go back. How?

Rez’s face looks a little.. interesting

Dh saw Joel and Robbie in Shoreditch buying a sandwich. We were very excited 😂 said they looked even better irl

Although their ‘journey’ and constant tears are still dull

Where was crazy Imogen? I need her to wind up Willow when Harvey inevitably dumps her

I felt like I missed an episode too, Imogen wasn't even referenced.

Pretty sure that was Willow being inevitably dumped though wasn’t it? By Harvey shagging Rez’s date?

I don’t feel there is much depth to Ruby…
i can’t see how Harvey has any success with women… on MIC he appears to have no charisma or personality. Maybe in person he impresses?
Liv doesn’t look well, she used to look quite glowing before.. maybe tanning too much has aged her skin.
i didn’t think I’d like Temps, but I do now.
hoping Imogen comes back, but understand if she doesn’t

Gosh that top. I think that’s what it was meant to be.

Just watched episode 2......and they've introduced another hugely irritating girl into the mix. Lauren with her American draaaaaaaaaawwwwwllllll. Just stop it!

But she honed in on our Harv, so just deserts!

Willow has made the same mistake a lot of Harvey's conquests have. She pretended to be a 'cool girl' who wasn't wanting a relationship and was easy going.

In reality she assumed she'd be the one to change him and they'd end up in a relationship.

She should have been honest. I think it was Izzy who told him she wanted a serious relationship and he told her straight up it wouldn't happen.

Oh God, I cannot COPE with Lauren. That voice

They all seemed a bit sniffy about Lauren while all going along to her drinks. Christ, her drawl is luuuuudicrouuuuussssss.
Harvey the wooden beer plugger might as well be wearing a sandwich board. I really hope he’s paying the MiC production team a lot of money for them to allow him to advertise his product all the time on the show. He’s got literally nothing else to say.

That voice..

Someone else liking Harvey. Crazy

Worse voice than Rubby.

I think a slowly deflating balloon would sound more appealing.

Oh, Lauren! The voice is UNBEARABLE. As are her shiny-looking skin, overfilled joker/fish lips and the terrible 90s hairstyle at her party. Couldn't believe it when Ruby said she'd been her modelling agent! Hope she doesn't stick around.

Thrilled by the return of la reine Maeva (looking fab - my hair icon) and Sam's excommunication from the wedding/Chelsea life in general! I always thought James was a Harvey-level fuckboy (well, maybe not quite Harvey level, but not for want of trying) but he seems to have turned into quite good husband material.

I was delighted to see Maeva.

Best one on there.

Anyone seen Miles' documentary about muscle dysmorphia, by the way?
https://www.channel4.com/programmes/obsessed-with-my-muscles-untold/on-demand/75951-001

Interesting topic that definitely needs more attention, although I think it's safe to say Miles doesn't have a career as a voiceover artist.

I watched it. I thought Miles came across well as both the presenter and the subject which can be a difficult combination to pull off.
If you compare it to Sam Thompson’s ADHD doc which had a similar format, Miles’ comes out more sympathetically I thought. Miles felt like he was exploring something which has a genuine stigma around it. Sammeh was much more exploring a diagnosis that is increasingly socially acceptable and didn’t bring much new to the table.

I found it sad to hear how lonely life is with for anyone with a body dysmorphia. It’s a lot of dedication to dealing with the manifestation of the anxiety. Social media adding to that anxiety has a lot to answer for.

Nobody made the obvious aside as a point, though- that women have had this media led body image pressure for years and it’s a relatively recent phenomenon for men to feel a lot of body image pressure. Which is why there’s so little research or treatment for male body dysmorphia. Interesting to reflect on why and what’s changed to make it more prevalent but the programme didn’t go there.

Is 'you're my best mate!' the most over used statement on this show? Like a primary school playground!
