There isn't going to be another live one, is there?

Was that the practice run we saw last night and the live show is tonight

And what was Pat Sharp doing there? I was going to say he was the only Star at the Charity bash but his not even that

Loved the cue's you could hear and the cast couldn't

Also the Mrs Overall moment with Danni 'came into shot at the wrong moment and then backed out again' While Charlie and that girl were arguing

What a disaster ..in the best possible way But like others I could not stop watching

It seems that the Barn Dance from Sundays show paid for all this to take place As if.

It was like joey was so stumped at a live episode that without direction he just couldn't speak and so just played at being sad in love.

He was awful .... I thought at one stage he was going to go into meltdown

I think Chloe and Diags stole the show

It was so bad

I think producers need to re-watch this one several million times before they ever think about doing a live one ever again.

Maybe it was the pressure of being live, but it was bad, but in the most entertaining way possible. It was the good kind of bad for sure. If their 'performances' were like that then I could believe the things in the papers that said by cast members that said there had to be re-shoots. Joey was the worst by a long shot, but on the whole, very entertaining, defo hope they do another live show again. Maybe if they did one everyone other series, that would be good imo, one per series would make it feel less special.

The 'Live' show was Jaw-Dropping--mostly hide-behind-the-sofa stuff, BUT was that REALLY Kirk's voice?? Charlie's dancing was Fabulous. And Diags was totally BRILLIANT--lots of charisma and a natural public speaker.......Lots of surprises anyway.

Curious why Lucy wasn't there - does anyone know?

Chloe and Diags were the only ones who knew what they were doing in the slightest.

I think just once would be enough

Lucy was at the final disaster singing but not sure if she did anything.

Ha ha haaaaaaa! Well-put.

I think we were led to believe that he was going to therapy for his panic attacks :yawn: I think it was singing lessons :yawn:

I think his dad is trying too hard to get the public to like him .. It won't work on me

God help us if he get a record deal out of this but then daddy will pay for everything for sure..

Yes, actually over tannoys--but the sound values are nil here.

So was the acting

I think 6 series are enough too!

I really don't understand where the 'pressure' is coming from for Joey to propose. Sam has already said they're too young, Chloe and his friends have said the same. The way he speaks to her sometimes is awful and then he turns everything round as if its her fault and then tells his friends they're still arguing and they think its her when its usually him! WTF? Just to add, hopefully Arg will see he's not the best singer on the show and tone himself down a bit, Kirk was much better than him last night, bet he's gutted he let him do it now lol!

I turned on when Arg lost his trousers - then I switched channels. I tuned back in after the variety show though. For an episode that is meant to be live and not scripted/prompted/etc I've never seen
such a contrived and fake episode. Everything came across as unnatural and forced whereas in a normal episode I believe it more.. I thought it could be down to nerves?
When Bobby and Gemma were chatting away in the audience loudly and then the person behind tapped them on the shoulder. For a start if you're a TOWIE fan, which I assume you must be to go and see their show would you interrupt two of the main characters "gossiping"? That would be more interesting than the farse on stage.

TOWIE is very much my guilty pleasure and I enjoy watching the episode although I don't think it's as good as it used be.

Oh and Arg singing - bless - I can imagine someone years ago possibly after a few drinks told him he sounded like Frank Sinatra and he took that and sprinted with it.

So awful! Yet couldn't help but watch

The start was so obviously "acting", not sure whats wrong with Joey but he needs to man up!

Dear oh dear, the live show was just sooooo cringeworthily bad, but I still watched it anyway.


Car crash TV at it's worst.
Diags did well, as did Chloe, but the rest were dire, no more live eps please.

Is it just me or did anyone else get the impression that the producers had wanted him to propose last night but he refused...?

I am sure you are right on that. The cameras stayed with Joey and Sam for far too long, while there were other things going on they could have shown, so they were almost definitely waiting for a proposal. I think even Sam was expecting it.

Lucy helped Chris with his magic routine but it wasn't shown for some reason.
