AAH that was hilarious.

Poor Arg, they're not half making a fuss over his eating are they!

DVO did say at the beginning of the programme that some of this has been invented purely for our entertainment. I'm struggling with which bits though.

This show is just about chavvy people that have more money than sense.

When I first saw this I switched over after 5mins. Happened to flick on it tonight at the clip where one girl is asking where south london is and think it's amy said Kent. I am now hooked.

The girl with funny teeth, are those the veneer thingys? They are awful, shame she would look a lot better without them.

I was watching it but I gave up. That new girls lips are just damn strange and when she was talking I was not listening just staring hoping somehow that's a joke. Also Mark talking about Lauren reminded me I don't like Lauren so turned off before she came in.It's all superbly obviously faked this ep

I cannot believe that girl believes that Chigwell is "In the middle of nowhere". She wants to see where we live - a good four miles to the nearest corner shop let alone a train station or a pub.
I also spat coffee over my laptop at the comment "I like your boobs - where did you get them ?"

This is the best one yet I think, I am bloody loving this!

were did that chloe girl come from?? dont see why they need her in the show

I know it's so bad it's good but I am loving this, watched the first series but tonights was even better!

I like Sam the best in it, she seems the least forced

Aw poor Gemma, looked like Mick liked her before his eyes fell out on stalks over Chloe who lets face it, looks slightly odd to say the least.

This is one of those stupidly, ridiculous, addictive programmes where you'll continue to tune in, in the hope that something exciting might happen, but knowing full well that it won't.

I'm really liking her more this year.

she looks better as well, don't know what it is, but something looks better about her.

I like her too but cant believe shes only 19/20 she looks a lot older

She looks about 30 doesnt she the "work" she has done has probably had a lot to do with it

She is! She took my flatmate on a test drive a few months ago and is exactly the same in real life. Got the right hump when he told her he didn't want to buy the car!

I think they all look older than what they are supposed to be.

In the space of an episode Sam went from my least favourite to favourite of that bunch of idiots!

Lots of funny moments in tonight's episode, courtesy of Lydia. I'm glad they've made her a main character this series. Not sure I like the newcomers yet, although I think Kirk's Dad is cute and quite well-built.

this is a load of shit its nothing like essex. and the only fit one in this is Lucy is she still in it?

Yes she is. She may have a new romance soon, so you'd better be quick.

my sky plus said this episode was 1 of 4, theres not only 4 episodes in this series, surely? anybody know any different?

I think the word you're searching for is "freak".

The Elephant Man couldn't help how he looked but this stupid girl paid someone to mess up her face. FFS why

I had to slip on the sunglasses during last night's show

Yes of course it's real. It's set in Essex and it's a fly on the wall documentory just filming real everyday essex folk.
Much in the same way as Eastenders is set in London where the cameras are used to film market and pub scenes of everyday peoples lives. people minding each others children and market stalls. Family feuds and disputes are also recorded live and shown on tv.
