You must be like pigs in crapola!!!!! All your 'stars' take a turn on Ch5's "celebrity" show.

For the rest of us it is "who da fook????"

    never watched geordie shore, I used to watch TOWIE in the early days, but it comes over too contrived and set up...and scripted

    I only liked watching Towie to look at how the girls did their make up and hair

    I do. All three.

    I think you’ve made a bit of a mistake in assuming just because someone watches those shows, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re rooting for the housemates who used to be in them.

    I watch Geordie Shore and I was warning people about Ricci before he'd even stepped foot in the house, he may appear charming but he's a bad bad drunk.

    Ditto - hence "who?" My partner doesn't even buy "Hello" magasine so I'm totally lost by these 'stars'

    I would rather pluck my eyes from their sockets with a rusty pair of pliers and then serve them up to myself with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

    Suffice it to say, It's a no.

    I don't read any zeleb mags but kind of know who some of them are from BOTS appearances etc.

    My old mother - who never watches the likes seems to know who they all are, who they've dated ..... I'm very suspicious :D

    I've seen the Chelsea one a couple of times when my daughter had it on

    As far as I could tell it was about young people sitting in restaurants and such talking about 'relationships' ... not actually having relationships, just talking about them ( who fancies who, who doesn't fancy who, who want's to dump who )

    I used to watch TOWIE but not the past couple of series, got bored.

    Used to enjoy MIC, but got bored with all the relationships crap.

    Never seen Geordie Shore and probably never will.

    I've seen a few episodes of all of them; never watched any religiously. Haven't seen TOWIE in years. I like the Chelsea one because the people are beautiful, the clothes are beautiful, the accents are beautiful, the locations are beautiful; even the bloody coffees and cocktails are beautiful. From the little I've seen, the very opposite is true of both TOWIE and Geordie Shore. Particularly Geordie Shore - it's dismal.

    If I want to see thick people I can go to my local town centre. So no, never seen any of them. I don't want my brain polluted by such made-up garbage. Having said that, I'm watching BB, which is almost as bad these days...

    I was making the characterisation that anyone who enjoys these shows must have been labotomised

    Did you know you can buy Fava Beans in the UK now - Waitrose stock them I think. Apparently they're the oldest known bean to be grown in the British Isles. I'll give the eyeballs a miss though.

    And with that 'important message' please carry on as you were..

    Maybe they decided you didn't need one - even more worrying

    Do you mean generalisation?

    I would have thought if you were going to make unfounded (and in this case, incorrect) assumptions about the intelligence of others, ensuring you make sense yourself is a must.

    Gary was a great bit-part actor as one of the 'nasties' from some ageing Hollywood movies - (IMDB if too young) - TOWIE and their ilk just get on my tits

    scripted reality is just awful and already way past its sell-by date.
    i have tried to watch them, mainly to see what all the fuss is about.

    i also do not understand why C5 keep insisting on having the characters from these shows on CBB, as they more often than not are incredibly dull and have nothing to offer outside of their scripted reality 'crapola' .

    that Ricci is going to be utterly useless, clearly plonked in so he can have a showmance, most probably with that bloody lauren creature
