Started watching it over the last couple of weeks and have to say it's ****in 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.

"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.

If you ever wanted to see everything that is stereotypical of Essex in a show

WHY would you want to see that?

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.

none of it can be real surely, it must all be made up....nobody actually lives their lives in such a staged fashion

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.

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??

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.

If you watch it, you're an idiot.

In order to make such a sweeping statement, I'd guess you've watched it a couple times then?

My wife's not an idiot...but I doubt she gives a duck what some random on the internet thinks.

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?

You said that anyone who watches this programme is mentally challenged, are you laughing at mentally challenged people?!? 😯

Shocking behaviour.

That 'Amy Childs' can't quite put my finger on it but it just seems like her face ain't quite put together right.

Just seems like a bunch of talentless wannabes,even my miss us who normally watches any old drivel draws the line at this.

I personally think it's hilarious, a proper down market version of "The Hills".

Whats most amusing is that despite the scripting people like this do actually exist 😆

You do know that by watching it your are giving validity to these people to carry on living their lives in a vacuous and self centered manner?
Never watched it but seeing some of the plonkers its produced on other shows makes me worried about where this world is going.
You'll be telling me you watch Geordie Shore n Desperate Scousewives next.
These people should not be encouraged.

Having never watched this, can someone clear this up for me:

Are TOWIE and Made in Chelsea the same show with different accents?

Pretty much. And don't forget the horrors of Desperate Scousewives and Geordie Shore.

I was brought up about five minutes from Brentwood. Innit.

Nightlife and wide boy-wise, it seems a pretty true reflection...not sure I fitted in very well.

I'm alright though, I married a nice girl from Sarrrfend.
