As much as I am not a Mark fan, his tears were genuine on Sundays show, you could tell that he was quite embarrassed and annoyed with himself crying while making the speech.
I quite like him seems alright deep~ down but just hate him with Lauren.

Gemma looks more mid-thirties to me. I'm not sure why she's there to be honest. I know they wanted a bigger girl to counter balance it and that's fair enough, but she's not a very good 'actress' and her scenes seem really false. First she was bessie mates with Amy and Harry, now she's hanging around with Maria and Chloe. It just seems as though she's put where they tell her. There is zero chemistry between her and any of the other characters.
she reminds me in speech and mannerisms of the dreadful Beverley in Abigails party as played by the wonderful AS.

Definitely agree with others who think the girls especially look older than they say they are. I refuse to believe Sam is the same age as me (then again I am male and actually look younger than I am).

It makes me laugh when the cast members in relationships have conversations that would jeopardise them on camera, or act two-faced towards other cast members - really highlights to what extend it is staged! Then again I don't really care how fake or real it is - it's still great trash TV entertainment you can totally switch your brain off for!

That is so true.

The person who came in it trying to sell Kirk a car was all blousy and flirty and seemed quite feisty. Now she's wet and bemoaning the fact she hasn't had a man in some time. I just couldn't imagine her hanging around with those people in real life.

The ages do puzzle me. Especially Sam. I don't think I would have handled things like she does, with Mark when I was 20. I would have cried a lot, gone into terrible strops, got drunk and snogged random boys in an attempt to make him jealous. She's pretty dignified to be honest, for a 20 year old. Although what any of them see in him I don't know. Perhaps it's being a bit more mature, but when I first saw the programme, for about the first 10 seconds of seeing Mark, I remember thinking he was really good looking. But another 10 mins of him buying a hideous jacket with leather sleeves and boasting about his Rolex and the amount of girls he'd bedded and he seemed totally unattractive.

According to the article for her nude pics, Gemma is 30, but not sure I quite believe it!

Gemma definitely looks beyond thirty, I assumed her role in the show would be an in-show mother figure to the girls, and to a lesser extent Kirk - however she's clearly too young, despite the youthfulness of the main cast. She does look stupid hanging around with people in their 'early twenties' though.

Right - time for a high-brow post.

In order of who I would (after careful consideration):

1. Maria
2. Lucy
3. Jess
4. Lauren P
...

(Most of the rest of the female cast in no particular order)
...
...
Nanny Pat
Lauren G

I think I'd have Amy higher up in my list, but one thousand percent agree with Maria as number 1. As a person she might be a bit of a bitch (like pretty much the whole cast - female or male) - but she is great to look at and whatever IT is in terms of sex appeal, she definitely has it.

You know what - weirdly I forgot about Amy (she has receded into a somewhat peripheral character). I agree she should figure in the list - for me, fighting with the Pope for 4th spot.

And I totally concur about Maria - she has just got it. Gorgeous eyes, self-confidence and a bit of self-awareness. I've decided I could live with the botox-induced lack of frowning and the teeth so white they could illuminate Sugar Hut in the event of a power cut.

How do the guys rate then, TOWIE fans?

Judging by earlier mentions from misschippy and others, it seems Kirk's Dad takes the cake. (Literally as well I might add)

It's tough I guess - if I were a girl and had to choose between Mark, Arg and Kirk, I'd probably try and turn Harry.

I'm loving the show! Its so much better than the first series. I'm getting a bit frustrated with the whole Mark and Sam thing. Do they still have a thing for eachother because those little talks they have just don't make sense!
Marks tears were quite shocking actually. I thought he was about to ditch lauren in front of everyone and proclaim his love for sam. Too bad.
I so hope the wright family knock lauren down a peg or two. She needs her head taken out the clouds!

Kirk's dad is the best of a fairly ropey bunch. Mark's too full of himself, ditto Kirk and Arg? No. Just No.

I wouldn't even be tempted to try and turn Harry - he's far too skinny.

1 - Lucy

2 - Lydia

3 - Jessica

4 - Maria

5 - Sam

The boys don't even score on the scale. Completely below par in many traits.

Okay, at a push...

1) Kirk
2) Mark (he'd have to not speak though)
3) Kirk's dad
4) Arg
5) Joey

I did say 'at a push' although to be honest, where Kirk is concerned, the push wouldn't have to be that hard.

I did find Kirk the most attractive until we found out how much of a spoilt daddy's boy he is and then his treatment of Lucy and Maria.

You may have guessed I'm attracted to persona over looks, good looks help but a persona can turn that around 360..

I was like that with Mark, but I can't help myself with Kirk. He is vile, I concur, but what can you do?

Joey is one seriously weird guy. I don't know whether he is that stupid that I just can't comprehend or whether he is very smart and I just can't work him out (benefit of doubt)
