Remember when she pulled Zahida’s hair extensions out because she got told Marty fingered Zahida in a taxi.The nastiest of them all was/is Chloe Ferry. She had some seriously violent outbursts towards other girls on the show. I think the producers have had her on a tight leash the last series or two.
Yaaaayyy - I have recently rewatched too and have been dying to discuss. This thread isn't that active though.Randomly rewatched the first five seasons and so glad I found somewhere to get my thoughts down
Might be an unpopular opinion but looking back, Holly was always a really pretty girl, her face was stunning even back then. She had her own unique style and it was a bit over the top (imo) but she was still gorgeous and she still is although she’s clearly had a lot of work done, probably the best looking out of all of them now. So pleased to see James get him comeuppance, Holly is now a ‘worldie’, married and doing well for herself whilst he’s in his 30s getting hounded by Amelia Lily in a red wig. Karma in action. I don’t really follow Holly on social media now but she was always a sweetheart in the early season, but respect for her for coming back in season 2 and beyond, it must’ve took a lot of balls to do that especially with that nasty cow Vicky to deal with.
Can’t stand the way the boys called all the girls fat, it’s disgusting and again looking back, none of them were actually fat. They may not of been healthy but they weren’t massive by any stretch. Hollys boobs made her look bigger but if you see her in her body on dresses she was probably a size 12-14 maximum.
I think at that point everyone on the show and the demographic it was aimed at had been brought up in the 90’s/ early 2000’s where programs like Americas/Britain’s next top model was shown and the 90’s supermodels being size 0 was all the fashion, so these four normal girls were called fat and they deffo weren’t.
I can’t believe charlottes face and what she’s done, again she was a pretty looking girl back then, even more so looking back now. I watched a ‘Geordies react’ YouTube clip and Charlotte even said, she was pretty back then and wished she’d realised. I blame Gary and all the lads for treating her like shit and calling her and the rest of the girls fat ugly slags.
Lastly, Vicky. Wow what a bitch she was, I always remember watching it and thinking she was so funny but seriously, whilst she may have some good one liners she was vile. With that being said, the way Ricci manipulated her was sad to see. I’m glad she escaped that situation because I dread to think how that toxic relationship wouldn’t panned out. There’s a scene where the girls are getting spray tans and he doesn’t want her to get one bit even in front of the girls because he thinks it’s disrespectful to him? How disgusting is that. Sophie later says how now Ricci has left Vicky has been getting changed in front of them again! What does that say about Ricci, to not even allow his girlfriend to get changed in front of her mates. Physco behaviour!
I loved the valleys, I miss tv like that. Now everyone acts all perfect and just there for Instagram followers and boohoo deals 🥲Anyone ever watched the valleys I met Jenna who was lovely and chidgey back on 2012 he was drunk and got kicked out of his own p.a
Yeah this new act she puts on is so fake. Everyone knows what is she really likeI really liked Rebecca. Vicky was horrible to her. Green eyed monster IMO.
‘Gonna smash Newcastle tonight!’ No, you’re gonna stand in VIP for an hour and go home. It just needs to be cancelled alreadyThe old seasons were so good because the people they chose had such huge personalities. I have zero interest in watching the newbies have yet ANOTHER food fight.
I’m really pleased for Hollie she’s dated some real duds! But he seems fun. Very well suitedGeordie OGs: I’m really not keen on Talia
I also find talia and Emma’s friendship sooooo false! When they did the cake reveal, Gaz and Aaron hugged and the girls just sat there awkward as anything
I like jacob, he seems up for a right laugh!
I always hated how much they glorified Vicky as the queen of the house. The way she treated Holly and Rebecca in the first few seasons was disgusting. Was happy to see her leave.The fights in the original run, you could tell were real. Vicky was a real nightmare in itself.
I think jay was one of the worst, they are all misogynistic but jay was next level. His comments specially rewatching make me very uncomfortableI've just started Season 2 (watching it in the evening so can't get through it as quick as I'd like). Does anyone else think that Jay is probably a very unpleasant person in real life? He is nasty enough on screen but I feel like he restrains himself, he really makes me feel uneasy watching him.
I hope Vicky remembers how she behaved on the show and feels ashamed of herself, she's a proper bully. The way she treats Holly is disgusting.
She deserves it. I’ve got a feeling James has some regretsHolly has got a such a lovely fiance now though
He always seemed to speak of himself as the father figure type didn’t he, like the glue that held them all together especially when he kept coming back as if he’s the fucking messiah in later series to sort everyone out when it was kicking right off The delusion on it! He was bloody horrible to holly and becca during his time there, probably the others too but they’re the most memorable examples I can think of off the top of my headI always thought Jay was such a horrible person too, yet they all worshipped him in the house
