Worst programme I've ever seen: The Only Way Is Essex.

:eek:

Someone tell me this is a joke?

WTF!

It has got to be one of the worse programmes I have ever seen, if not the WORST.

Really, seriously, what the hell is going on?

The acting is worst than Hollyoaks, if that is possible.

Not to mention the stupid and daft story lines. We might as well watch Jeremy Kyle if we want to see relationship issues and image problems.

:yawn::sleep:

I only watched a minute of it earlier (only because Die Hard on E4 was on an ad break), and I was rapidly losing the will to live.

i watched for about 3 minutes.

I decided I really should turn it off when I found myself swearing at the TV.

Lots of eye candy though...:o

ITV2 have lost it completely now, it should be axed along with all the crap it shows.

[Deleted User] · 11/10/10 - 00:44

Who commissions this crap?
They need shooting at dawn.

The thing is, you'll have little boys and girls wanking in their rooms over these girls. Same with the girls and boys over the lads.

Awful acting, some of the worst I've ever seen, awful construction - not put together well, almost like it has been glued together, silly story-lines... I could go on, but I'm not good with words. Music just stuck in randomly. It is like Hollyoaks, but worse.

There is a very good reason the people in it are mostly good looking.

madlh100 · 11/10/10 - 00:53

Best thing about it? ......The music cut in. I liked Starry Eyes by Elly Godling, and I'm A Woman.

madlh100 · 11/10/10 - 00:53

Also, some of the girls and men are stunning, but I think that is the whole point of the show. All based, mainly, on looks.

Sadly mate its not acting, seems to be the general opinion that its a reality show.:eek:

Who does that builder's bum on the promos belong to? The wearing the manky white shorts, I mean. It's annoyed me for a week now, and I want that ugly thing off my telly! :mad:

:mad: I had been looking forward to this for ages but It was utter rubbish. I found myself switching back to the new epps of american dad on BBC3 within 5 mins.

It's The Hills for the working class :rolleyes:

I watched it. For me the highlight was Nanny Pat delivering a sausage plait to her boy...:D

Ironically it's made by Lime Pictures (previously Mersey TV) who are best known for Hollyoaks, Brookside and Grange Hill!

[Deleted User] · 11/10/10 - 13:13

I tried to watch it but found it so difficult are these people actually real. I find it hard to believe to be honest.

[Deleted User] · 11/10/10 - 14:49

The whole thing seems fabricated to me. They're all rough as arseholes yet seem to think nothing of spending 3 grand on a watch. They hardly strike me as the UKs elite. The height of sophistication for them is sticking crystal stickers on their pubic areas and tattooing each other's names on their bodies. CHAVS

It's scripted improv, the characters, albeit 'playing' themselves are given storylines and situations to 'act' out.

Kind of given away by the carefully worded 'text' at the beginning that 'situations are created for your entertainment', and the end credits for numerous 'story producers'

None of which means it's any good of course.

i couldnt make my mind up if this was for real or not.but i thought it was the funniest thing i have watched for ages.those girls discussing their lady gardening and where the spakles should go down younder was trash tv at the higest level ,glad my daughter isnt from essex thats all i can say

[Deleted User] · 11/10/10 - 15:23

That would really make my day. One of the worst channels in existence.

£3,000 on a watch he didn't even wear. He bought the watch then you see him later with a completely different one on. Badly produced.

Totally agree. Can't believe people are describing the girls as "stunning"!!

[Deleted User] · 12/10/10 - 12:51

To be fair Amy was pretty hot.

If you like them tangoed and caked in make-up.

I was excited when I heard about this. I love Essex. I lived there for the first 17 years of my life and my family and my closest friends still live in Essex.

I was SOooooooooo disappointed.

It was cringe-worthy. So awful. They are real people but the situations and much of the dialogue are staged.

The people taking part will be worshipped by a certain small demographic but become figures of hate and ridicule for a much larger demographic. They obviously do not have the self- awareness to realise this. Which is a shame.

I would not be at all surprised if ITV2 pulled this show without completing the planned run.

Don't you love Nanny Pat.
I laughed out loud at her sausage plait (although I am sure it was delicious).

Hey there!
