Has any show ever held its audience in as much contempt as TOWIE? I don't watch Made In Chelsea so that could be a contender. But TOWIE is certainly up there. I'm going to indulge in a little needless great then (great being a relative term) s#!t now. Back when it started TOWIE had a kind of fresh, skewed logic you followed the characters because they had friendships and relationships you understood and it kind of, sort of, made some sense. But now you get the feeling haphazardly slinging the show together is the competence level of all involved. Shoddy doesn't come into it.
The last time we saw Mario and Arg Mario wanted to use Arg's head as a hat, but suddenly they are in a car together all 'well mate' this and 'too right mate' that. What did I miss? Characters are thrown together with no hint of logic, even El Dorado didn't stoop that low. Plus this season everyone has to cry, it must be in the contracts. We even had Kirk crying because he wasn't present whenPopey peed on her pregnancy test gizmo. Well that's the only reason I could fathom for his irrational tear up. Lucy cries so much that it seems to be washing off her make up.
Joey Essex continues to steal the show with his wacky clothes and hilarious hair cuts. But now they have saddled him with the inevitable shop, it's TOWIE so everyone must have a shop. I wonder if Lydia and Lauren G still have their, sold nothing, shops?
You do, sort of, wonder how long this show can last. It will probably get a second wind when all those that have left return after their solo projects get binned, until that time we'll have to put up with the shoddy goods on offer.
