See, since this thread started we've had "Made in Chelsea" and that Essex one, and I'm in two minds as to is this what we really want, is it?

Anyway, regarding Cheryl, this is 'one US website claims' and it's become a huge news story because they've been getting endless mileage from "OMG Who can judge! I mean, who?" stories for nine months to no appreciable tiredness from people reading it and that.
So, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. Still...
(xpost yeah, it's called Towie now, as opposed to "the only way is essex" but.)

This one got 300,000 viewers on MTV apparently. That Essex one got the viewers award at the BAFTAS. Fuck knows who's watching the Chelsea one, it's excruciating viewing. People like that kind of thing though it seems.

Well, I've watched none of these.
I saw an excerpt of the Essex one, and it looked like rubbish improvisation.

lol (as usual) at the DM comments.
Its not just the Geordi's but this is typical of what goes on all over the country. Decent values have gone in favor of attention seeking, celebrityism (is that a word?) I am embarassed to be associated with the UK these day as we have become the laughing stock of Europe.- blackdog, kosovo, 26/5/2011 11:12

If you think that was bad improv you should see the Chelsea one. You'll be begging to get back to Essex.

Got treated to a viewing of the final episode.
They've done the right thing in overcoming the lack of Italian-American stereotypical hilarity with massive fake cans.
