Who's watching Take Me Out?

If it were anyone else presenting, I probably wouldn't watch, but Paddy McGuiness makes this work for me.

DH and I have been watching since we just happened to catch the first one.

Am watching on ITV1 right now, anyone else?

Me, but don't tell anyone . It's naff tv at it's best, perfect for Saturday night thought-free viewing

I love it! Who was that silicone horror the footie guy ended up with?

I know! She looked like Barbie!

I remember the first time we watched this, DH said to 5 month old DS 'Now these are the women you're going to try to avoid in life'

Has anyone got nicknames for the regular girls on it?

We have:

Crazy eyelash lady (though she looks remarkably toned down today)

Big-boob cougar

was very annoyed at the episode where they all turned off the guy who had a horse and a dog and did a fireman calendar for charity.....I was smitten

is it the same women every week then?

They stay on until they get a date, so there are new ones coming in each week but some have been there since the first one.

Poor Daisy has gotten to the last two about 4 times and the guy always picks the other girl.

oh my god. I can't believe we have this on!

BitOfFun · 13/02/2010 20:23

I liked the fireman too- crazy ladies!

We have The Twits and The One Who Looks Like A Pixie.

Rocinante · 13/02/2010 20:23

There was a very tall one with blonde hair on last week - I don't think she was picked so not sure where she's gone.....

oh and my favourite lady:

larger lady who would look a lot better if she'd dress for her shape and get rid of the bleached hair with pink streaks

that's a bit long for a nickname I spose....

and I'm not being 'fatist', I'm probably bigger than she is!

Gosh, that last boy had terrible skin - they must have had him in make-up in the studio.
