Started watching it over the last couple of weeks and have to say it's **** hilarious. If you ever wanted to see everything that is stereotypical of Essex in a show then this is pretty much it;
- dolled up birds
- bling
- money
- ambition
- bitchiness
- stupidity and ignorance like you've never seen/heard
- phat motors
- plastic
- spray tans
- geezers
... it's all there. But infinitely watchable too.
All in all, very light-hearted and pleasantly surprised.
Ahbooooooo!!!
It's rubbish
Guilty pleasure. Mates of mine went to school with them.
Can't stand it. I got a few minutes in to the first ep when that playboy model minger started spouting drivel about some bloke called 'mark'. and all them girls sounded, like, well thick innittttt. 
Guilty pleasure +1. I feel dirty after every episode but can't stop watching.
"Shut up!" 
That's the whole point - it's supposed to be a combination of real life mixed in with various 'set pieces'. The fact that some of them are like, well thick like, innitt ... is like the way it is, innitt.
Voyeurism is the best way I'd describe it - it's like being a fly on the wall. Just take it for what it is - a humorous, light-hearted look at one of our more colourful counties.
Forgot it was on, and I was going to play TOWIE bingo too from Grazia magazine too 
Don't even get me started on vagazling...
This thread is useless without...
If you ever wanted to see everything that is stereotypical of Essex in a show
WHY would you want to see that?
This thread is useless without...
You want 
Cougar?
Best thing on telly atm
I don't get it, it doesn't seem real. It makes me laugh out loud, but laughing at, rather than with...
I don't watch it and never have, but I do find Amy Childs strangely appealing. Though I feel guilty just typing this...

What's so appealing about these?
Just a shame she's Jordan's love-child.
it;s the worst program on tele..FACT
I think I'd rather be shot in the eyes, with shotgun cartridges of salt ...

but you couldn't quite help yourself clicking on the thead entitled "The only way is Essex" 
The wife watches, which means I do too. Harmless fun.
none of it can be real surely, it must all be made up....nobody actually lives their lives in such a staged fashion
it must all be made up....nobody actually lives their lives in such a staged fashion
you really need to ask that question?
but you couldn't quite help yourself clicking on the thead entitled "The only way is Essex"
Probably the same reason I did. First word is Why, second is The...
I suspect watchers of it think Big Brother was a "great social experiment" too.
total guilty pleasure. if it's on, i can't go to bed.
Due to The only way, Brentwood, where I live, has now believe become a tourist town. You can not get a room in the premier inn during the weekend.
Wanna bees from all over the land not just Essex are flocking in... You can not move for short skirts and big hair in the town on a friday/saturday night.
How come this happened after I got married??
Same for the William IV in Chigwell have never seen it so busy as it was on Sunday
I watched a few minutes of it....staged or not, its crime is surely that it's just dull. These people are not actors, and their "conversations" come across as hugely stilted and basically unwatchable.
Best thing on TV for years
It's all scripted nonsense.
My wife loves it.
But I'm just jel and secretly want a pjazzle.
If you watch it, you're an idiot.
If you watch it, you're an idiot.
My wife's not an idiot...but I doubt she gives a duck what some random on the internet thinks.
I'd guess you've watched it a couple times then?
The sister in law insisted it was watched on Christmas day. I lasted about 10 seconds before I left the room in a rage.
Television for the mentally challenged, starring the mentally challenged.
Do you lot read Heat, OK, etc?
If you watch it, you're an idiot.
pffffttttt, like I care
Do you lot read Heat, OK, etc?
Yeah, course, Is that a trick question?
I lasted about 10 seconds before I left the room in a rage.
Have you considered reading a lot of this book?
I lasted about 10 seconds before I left the room in a rage.
people that let the telly do that to them are mentally challenged.
Serious at you lot
