Gogglebox #2

[We were on a break]

Our favourites are Giles & Mary, the Siddiqui's, the Malones, the Welsh couple in Carmarthen are ok, Marina & Mary in the flat were good too, r.i.p Mary
The show could do with a bit of pruning, & bin Tremayne & Tristan etc, the Durham thickos, the 2 sisters in Leeds.

“The Durham thickos” thick isn’t the word for them and they seem to have the personality of a brick🥱 also really dislike that other family with the Mam and dad and the two boys they also come across as really thick and complete airheads.

I know what you mean, I used to love watching it live on Friday nights, but catch it whenever now.

I usually fall asleep to Gogglebox now. Set my tv sleep timer, volume low, and just let myself fall asleep listening to it, but not really paying attention to it.

Interesting article about Goggleboxer's jobs eg Sophie has her own florist shop, Marcus owns a boxing school.

Gogglebox stars' real jobs from pub landlady to lorry driver

Away from our screens, Gogglebox cast members have regular day jobs

I love the three brothers. They're not used enough.

they’re my favourites - they never really play up to the cameras and their reactions seem genuine. i wish they used them more too!

though i actually think i like them because they’re not on too much; the ones who get overused eventually start irritating me (apart from the siddiquis and dave and shirley)

of the other newbies i’m not sure about that essex family; the two sons, mum and silent dad

My favourite this week was Miquitas dog he is the most tired pup EVER! So cute.

He's gorgeous he was just so chill the whole time. My dogs would be going barking mad the little shits

I love andi and miquita, i'm so childish I was laughing along with andi and her cat puns.

Nigel havers and his mate add absolutely nothing. Just another way for him to get his mug on the box

I was surprised to hear that Stephen and his husband have been together 9 years! Didn’t realise it was so long!

that’s what i was thinking too! then he did a couple seasons with his mum so was shocked to hear it’s been 9 years!

I googled this when he said it… Gogglebox only started March 2013 so 9 years ago exactly and he was still with his ex when they started on it together (can’t remember if they were on it from the very start but I think they were?) anyway the dates don’t add up

A duck fetish is the only valid explanation tbh. This show has ruined ducks for me. I'll never be able to look at them in the same way.

Just to get off the topic of ducks - Giles & Mary annoyed me last night with their 'oh no, the cost of living crisis means we won't be able to shop so often at Waitrose and we'll have to make our own loaves!' I know Giles wasn't being 100% serious with the comment, but it seemed insensitive given the fact that they're obviously wealthy and won't struggle.

Yeah, I dont get Giles & Mary, I used to really like them, but now I'm not sure that they havent become caricatures of themselves..
That aside Giles is a phenominal artist.

 

[Scottish-Gal]

Jenny and Lee are my all time favs love Dave and Shirley too.

 

[emm]

im.catching up on last weeks as ideas intrigued about this duck thing. i am genuinley speechless

 

[ElektraWintour]

Does anyone else find All4 on Sky is useless? I forgot to record this and it’s not on there. I had the same issue when Last Leg came back.

 

[Smca53]

I laughed quite a lot at this weeks but I was watching on catch up a bit hungover, I’m trying to think what could have been complained about, possible the episode of You they watched?

I can’t think what would have been in that episode of You that was complaint-worthy?

I hate when they watch any wildlife stuff, I always have to pause and then fast forward past it. Can’t deal with sad animal things And they always seem to take up a massive segment of the show, when they do watch them

 

[Aussie]

I rewatched this episode the other day, and absolutely bawled my eyes out.

That is really sad, I loved these two

 

[Smca53]

I wonder if she’s trying to push “Rosie” her daughter in to the limelight, or whether it’s “Rosie” the tv personality (for tax reasons, ya know…….)

 

[EAD]

Her real name is Tmandy

The Love Actually bit was a bit stupid. Who hasn't seen Love Actually ?? On Alan Carr's Something About Movies a couple of weeks ago they showed a scene that was cut from the film. The bit where the kid is running through the airport being chased by security actually had him doing a whole load of acrobatics. Back flips, cartwheels, somersaults ... absolutely ridiculous. Thank god is wasn't included.

I haven't seen Love Actually

 

[House of Tea]

I’m so fed up of them showing Naked Attraction, the novelty has long since worn off. I now fast forward those sections, can’t be bothered with it.

Spot on comment. I think some shows must lobby GB to concentrate on their shows. The vast myriad of programmes available to view but they only concentrate on a few. Seems odd.

 

[Kindred_]

My favourite this week was Miquitas dog he is the most tired pup EVER! So cute.

least favourite was Mel C (again) she’s just soooooooo loud and tries too hard

 

[Smca53]

Love the addition of Saoirse Monica and Jamie Lee. I could listen to both of them talk all day (lovely accents) and I thought their comments were very “real” and not too rehearsed like some.

“Ohhh it’s a rich people thing, I get it now”

 

[StephenTJackson]

I thought there might of been another tribute to them all given they missed Pete off last weeks tribute.

I believe that the tribute to him was on a previously aired episode.

 

[Pat the Dog]

Oh no, just when I said the Siddiqui's are the most genuine, Bhangra dancing - really? I could more understand Marcus 'chair dancing' Bashment as he has some good moves! Shame about Mica's skipping though.

WTF is a trumble? The two Durham girls commenting on Strictly - get rid. LOL, one of their dad's wants to take his daughter on a safari. I would say, take both of them... and leave them there...

WOW! The Baggs family actually said quite a lot this week - for what it was worth. At last, I finally know the names of 'Mrs laid back' and her husband - Sue & Steve. Yes, It's true about female moustaches and male extra ear hair.

Giles still makes me laugh - Gordon Ramsey turning up at the haunted hotel/cafe. I notice Stephen & husband were not featured so much this week, thankfully. Again, I have to say I prefer Pete without his annoying laughing hyena sister, Sophie.

The best episode so far this series - interesting and very moving programmes reviewed, plus a bit of silliness with Come Dine With Me - everything deep-fried.

I preferred his hair how it was before. I hope it was his choice to cut. He seems a nice bloke. Sometimes Stephen says some real nasty things to him.
