    Icon8 T.O.W.I.E. The Only Way is Essex!!

    Am I in the twilight zone or what?


    Does anyone else watch this - and why are 20+ and 30+ year olds, acting like schoolkids?


    That Gemma is so irratating I could scream.

    TOWIE is the biggest load of tarradiddle I have ever had the misfortune to hear about. I have never watched it but heard enough about this hooey to know that it is a load of crap.
    My avatar is an autograph of Coronation Street's Philip Lowrie (Dennis Tanner, an original character) which he personalised for me.

    I've seen it a couple of times but it's not something I'd tune into watch.

    Apparently, the former 'star' of TOWIE, Mark Wright (who came second in last year's I'm a Celeb) now has his own reality show on ITV2 about his escapades in Hollywood although I have not seen it.

    IMO the best of the reality shows was Desperate Scousewives about life in Joanie's neck of the woods but unfortunately although it was a hit with this viewer it did not gain widespread popularity and was AXED after just one season

    This was the only show I tuned into regarding these type of shows and i never got to the end of episode two. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

    I actually never watched Desperate Scousewives, but I will have a look now on youtube, to see what its all about.

    This T.O.W.I.E. things is ridiculous, no 20-30 year olds behave like that surely?

    What do they all do for a living, to have such a privelidged lifestyle.

    All that Botox and Fake Tan......no way.

    Joanie,

    You need to get your hearing aid fixed

    I actually saw some of it being filmed in the old part of the town centre (the bit that's not Liverpool One ) just across from M&S towards the end of last year (it was a scene between Joe, the club promoter and somebody else) but unfortunately when I watched it back I did not appear on camera.

    Ha ha - you'll get "Hearing Aid" you little Devil.
    How come I never saw any filming!!!

    I once saw some Corrie filming, as I was passing through a Town called Eccles, going to my Daughters in Salford.
    It was Ashley and Clare Peacock, with their baby in a buggy.....
    I was well excited.

    Sadly, Me and my friends all do TOWIE, Desperate Scousewives and Made in Chelsea and now waiting for the Blackpool one to come out!

    It is crap but also quite addictive once you start watching!!

    Programmes like this make me want to rip out my own insides, especially when the so called 'talent' that appear on them, then go on to make millions or have their own shows. Dear God, why............WHAT is the point in them???? I'd rather literally watch paint drying.

    As said I would never watch this rigmarole if I was offered £1 million an episode.

    I agree it's wrong but is the age we are living in now. Blame Big Brother, that's what kicked it all off!

    Why does Joey Essex keep calling people silly names as insults?

    I must be the only person still watching TOWIE.
    I'm at a loss to know why Joey is being chased up the street by Gemma's Dad, who is well into his 70's??
    And the Dad was gaining on him.
    These kids are not for real.

    I like to watch now and again to feel better about myself. They are all close to my age but so stupid! I mean backward... They can't speak properly at all. Actually you watch it as a documentary about how Britains education system has failed.

    How did they manage to pass their Theory/Practical Driving Tests?
    How do they pay for all that Plastic Surgery?
    How mindless are their so-called problems?

    Its like Car Crash TV, you really shouldnt watch, but you cant turn away.
