Am I the only one that really doesn't understand this Joey-Sam drama?

Joey is acting as if he wouldn't be able to get any girls if they broke up.

All I can say after watching that is thankgod I have my group therapy this week

I love crime stories it's a great place for ex soapstars who can't act the one with bobby davro, gemma bissex and Dean Gaffney the other day was classic

Its a shame because a whole new audience who dont usually watch the show tuned in to watch the live episode.. simply put - it was terrible! And the normal shows are not this bad.

I was wondering how this was going to work because TOWIE seems like a show that involves a lot of editing. I really dont get what was the point of this live episode

Did anyone notice the wet patch at the back of Sams dress at the end of the 1D number. Her and Joey walked down the middle on their own and she turned into him, showing her bottom and a big wet patch

I saw that i was like this the whole way through

i was a newbie, i had never seen it before, never again. i always wondered why the participants were so full of themselves when i've seen them on other shows, i am still in the dark i can't believe any of them get paid to be on television as entertainment....one "scene" appeared to be five minutes of three guys saying they were nervous over and over again and then one sprayed hairspray on the other wtf????

if as you say it's loads better when it's edited, then i would suppose this was some kind of way for the producers to say "this is how crap you are without final cut pro" ....

I don't get the attraction of this.

It's barely literate people with awful accents and a terrible vanity.

Bobby lost his job too.

What is the obsession with 1D on this show?

Don't usually watch this rubbish but had to tune in to see how awful it really is!

If that doesn't kill this crap off nothing will.

What was the point in that? I understand that being in that senario it would make sense to do it live, there were lots of awful cutaways to get back to stage, it looked all very staged, nothing went wrong but then again nothing went right

It's all staged, every minute of it.

Probably the worst piece of tv ever and it's not just down to the cast the production and direction was non existent ? !

Acorn Antiques won’t be funny after this as it will seem too professional.

I loved every terrible minute. Producers MUST have known it would be a car crash.

Shame Barbie Girl was interrupted as it was the best bit. Args really isn’t a good singer. Diags was much better and more confident. The boys spraying hair before 1D performance were like work experience kids who had accidently been let on set.

More live episodes!

Loved Chloe and diags, jess sounded semi decent during last Xmas, gemma stealing lauren goodgers part was worse than the original.

Arg needs to go, he's the most affected by the fame and is totally ruined now.

Kirk was good considering his initial nerves

Tom P. dances like boy zone's first performance on the Gaye Burn show.

It was the Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood at the Brits moment for this generation. It will be on "2012" round-ups for years to come. Your grandchildren will ask if you saw it.

I've never seen this show before, and probably will never watch again but ..what is it, what was that? Some weird Kafkaesque dream of a TV show I witnessed.I swear I almost had to check that I wasn't dreaming.

It was like one of those Turner Prize video installations, that no one understands crossed with a youth offenders drama group production. It was almost so bad that it touched on brilliance.

I don't wish death upon the cast of TOWIE, but if they died in a plane crash tommorow i wouldn't feel sad in the slightest.

That was horrendous and I like TOWIE!
Kirk, Diags and Chloe were the best parts.
The usual Lydia/Arg thing was boring, same with Sam/Joey.

I asked my mate who by the way watches and likes the show how she can sit through this and watch this rubbish and she replied "I open my eye" that shut me right up.

What is the point of TOWIE?
