    He's not worth focusing on. Move on mate focus on positive things.

    He is the one with the problem.

    How do these dimwits get through mainstream school? He claimed not to know the date Christmas Day falls on.

    Things like that are probably the degree of playing it up for the cameras that he does. I know a lot of people always go back to his claim that he doesn't know how to tell the time as "proof" that he's faking it.

    I always say that while his claim does seem ridiculous, the logic behind it is strangely sound - at least I think so. He always says if he wants to know the time, he pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks so he's never had a reason to learn to tell the time.

    Seems fair enough to me.

    Yet he bragged on a show with Arg, while Arg was looking in 'Romford Gold' at Rolex's (Which incidentally they don't even sell as it's a tacky Jewelers) that he owned 70k worth of the watches.

    He must have made a bloody fortune from The Only Way Is Essex if that's true. That's a massive amount to have spent on watches if it's true. So his watch collection is about the cost of an expensive car.

    He's estimated to be worth around 3 million.

    Tourist traps in Brentwood, where are they? The High Street is a tip.

    Mostly Sugar Hut and The Slug which are rammed to the rafters every weekend with out of town TOWIE tourists. None of the locals I know would ever step foot in those places.
    Because of TOWIE, Brentwood is become a huge hen weekend destination and TOWIE Tours is big business these days.
    Any given Saturday, the high street is chocka with groups of women in matching t shirts strolling up and down taking photos of each other outside the businesses owned by the people from the show

    I see that a lot when i'm there as well. I was outside the "Chloe's" place a few weekends ago waiting for a bus when I saw a couple go in and within minutes they had a few mini crowds outside looking in the window and posing for pictures for each other.

    Certainly made me wonder if the couple in question were Towie-related in some way. Not that I would recognise any of them either way of course!

    He's always been an odious twit to me. I can't believe anyone would get the impression he's a nice guy. :o:o

    I assumed for ages that Essex was a stage name to tie in with the show.

    No doubt each with a "wacky" nickname like "Gobbler Gail" "Bend over Brenda" "Princess Pauline" "Nine times a night Nanette" things like that.

    Never understood why people want to meet celebrities, they just do the job of entertaining you, that's all they are, hired help. You wouldn't ask the bloke in Maccy D's for his picture, would you?

    He's not as dumb as he makes out to be. When I met him, I immediately noticed that he's very self-aware and knows exactly what he's doing. Matthew Wright (presenter of Channel 5's The Wright Stuff) who lived with him in the jungle with him in I'm a Celeb 2013 always says that Joey is not as unintelligent as he conveys.

    A lot of us commented on this at the time. It was pretty obvious he puts on an act when he deems fit. Occasionally on IAC he forgot to go into 'stupid mode' and used a couple of big words which had the majority of us on here rolling our eyes as, if he were that dumb, he wouldn't have known them. He's an attention seeking moron and just one of the many males on TOWIE (early series) that have come across as utterly charmless.

    Funny how he never learnt to tell the time because he used his phone (despite the fact he would have been taught in year 1 way before he owned a mobile) but when the pretty girl in a bikini showed him with a couple of sticks, he got it instantly - fake, fake, fake.

    I really don't get the appeal of any of the TOWIE men. I don't watch but, from what I've seen, they've got the combined charm of an outbreak of herpes

    It's all a cold, calculated act. The dumb ones are those that fall for it.

    At least herpes goes away now and again. I've never understood why anyone would find any of those men remotely attractive. They are all repulsively orange, as thick as mince and completely pig ignorant. Unless that's the appeal. :confused:

    Yes, but the women are the exact same. That's why they like that type.

    I very rarely come on this site that's why I haven't posted this thread until now.

    Managed over 7000 posts though?

    Well done. :D

    I agree, although there does seem to be a bizarre contrast. The women all look like hyper-sexualised blow up dolls whereas the men all look strangely sexless. I still can't quite believe Joey Essex even knows where his genitals are, let alone what they are for.

    Yes, the women only make themselves look as sexual as possible to try and ensnare the shallow men, because they like that fake'porn star' look.

    The men want to look like Ken dolls so they overgroom themselves. Even plucking their eyebrows.

    I don't think Joey Essex is as dim as he makes out to be. I think he puts on a dim act when he's in front of the cameras and then goes back to his more intelligent self when he's away from them. I can't see anyone really that dim being able to make £3m. If he really was that dim, he'd be ripped off. Nah, he's nowhere near as dim as he makes out to be.

    Yeah, I never fell for his thick act. I never understood why anyone else did.

    The public must be gullible.
