I really like Arg too, Candy and Micheal were barely in the show I bet their gutted.

I loved last nights finale. I like Lauren and Lucy but Lucy should clear off Mark doesn't love her! So there is gonna be a Xmas special and second series I can't wait, but they better not start filming with Jack Tweed.

It is a ground-breaking show in that it is real but has engineered meetings. You can tell the dialogue is real but that certain meetings would not have just happened.

It is too simplistic to dismiss the characters as horrible, they are not, they are just people like you and I. What is scandalous is the lack of knowledge the people have about geography, history etc

I hope the local schools are hanging their collective heads in shame.

This show is well good!!! Gutted its over really, I had just started getting into it!!

I'm team.........none of them. Lauren needs to lay off the eyebrows and make up, and Lucy is just a bloody wet blanket and needs to grow a pair.

This programme is the biggest pile of doo doos I think I have ever, ever seen.

How people actually enjoy watching this pile of dross amazes me
I can't help finding it interesting to watch, however, I don't admire or identify with the people in the programme.

You're right, it's dross, but funnily watchable dross at that.

Completely agree. It's forgettable nonsense but totally AWESOME

I love it.

Oh and to add my views...

I can't stand Lauren, she comes across as totally 'jell' of Lucy, who I find quite likeable (if a little bit of a pushover).

I disliked Mark at first, and was a Kirk fan, but now the tables are turning since frozen-face Popey came on the scene.

Through all this, Arg is 100% my favourite.

Can anyone tell who are the guy and girl featured in the opening credits that did not feature ion any episodes and why ARGE is not in the opening credits?
Michael & Candy seem to run Sugar Hut for Kirk on a day-to-day basis. Candy was in it quite often, but always seemed to change her hair & make-up, so looked quite different every time (Michael was hardly in it at all, though.)

Where do we start a petition to get "Arg" into the credits?

How on earth does Arg go dayglo crimson when he's embarrassed? Is it natural, makeup or what?

i have loved Arg from the start!!!

I wanted Kirk to win the fight and i bet he was more pleased seeing amy after the fight rather than the 'dj' lauren pope!

Poor lucy
and lauren is just a bitch- she's not that attractive i dont think, those two deserve each other.

Looks like she's just one more reality tv show w***e
Interesting - her connection with hairdresser Alex Foden.
maybe she's on it to promote her hair extension business.
I wonder whether we'll be seeing Jack Tweed in the next series? I was told that he want's to come in now even though his agent wanted a lot of money for his appearance.
Why would they want to pay anyone for being a thick brain dead numpty when they can get this lot collectively for free?
Nanny Pat definitely star of the show.

I read somewhere that Amy and Sam went to private school together.

Ha ha - if I were their parents I would be demanding a refund pronto!

Yup, he sure is - he's a Heavyweight MMA champion (if you noticed the belts on the wall of Titan Gym in the last episode - they're his).

He also does security at Stringfellows & at the Sugar Hut (which is how he knows Kirk).

Love the show so much.

Actually gutted it won't be on tomorrow.

Yes it's stupid, but it's entertaining.

They are real people, and I do actually care what they do lol.

Can't wait for the Xmas special, I love that they are filmed and aired in the same week, so the cast actually mention things that are said on the previous episode, in that regard it's so much better than the Hills.

And it seems much realler. Obviously situations have been orchestrated and I'm sure the people do act up a bit for the cameras (Skanky Lauren and her "I made love to Mark last night" comment for example, clearly using the show to split up Mark and Lucy) but in the whole I believe the people.

It's appallingly shit. It's also embarassing how they've gone about filming it with the look of a soap. If they used the look of a reality show such as The Hills, it would work to some degree, but would stil be shit. Even the direction owes more to soaps than reality TV programmes - don't the idiots who makes this programme realise that this makes it fail at an attempt to be a reality show? All you're left with is ugly people who can't act to save their lives.

The Christmas special should be good I enjoyed the whole series to be honest I'm pleased ITV2 have already announced a second series.
