Gogglebox #2

[Doodlebug005]

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.

It makes me heave particularly disgusting last week

I thought Clare Balding seemed really rude to her wife.

Yes! I was saying this to my OH. I really thought she was horribly rude and condescending. I actually quite liked her before this but not now. Putting her wife down publicly. Not on (or in private obviously).
She had a very brusque relationship with her father and she seems to have inherited his worst traits.

His lips are strange, the texture is very dry and parched. He seems to wear a lot of make up which makes him look a bit garden gnomish

Love the addition of Simon and Jane. The Scottish couple still haven't grown on me and I couldn't understand some of the 2 sisters at times.

The Scottish couple literally have the same face it’s kinda scary

Did anyone catch the Festive Special last night? A treat at an hour and half.

I really enjoyed it.

Verdicts on the newbies. I like Simon and is sister. They can stay. Ron and his wife can go. They try too hard. Why are The Bags family still there?

Do the Geordie girls have the biggest glasses and mugs in the world?

I thought it was a bit rubbish.

The watchers seem to be acting up more to the cameras. The way they reacted to the strongman contest was cringe!

 

[George Agdgdgwngo]

How terrible

 

[Gloria Rostron]

Bring back Mr Tapper and his family!

 

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

A shame they didn't spend more time on Drag Me To Hell this week, classic Sam Raimi fare that just gets more disgusting and twisted the longer it goes on. I'd have paid good money to see a one off special of them just reacting to that film for the full running time.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Surely they put on being so thick. No way did she really thing paella was French

Must be no one is that daft surely?

 

[Pat the Dog]

Haha fair enough!

I do also really like Mo & Babatunde and Miquita & her mum too, they feel natural and not forced unlike most of the people on this show

I fully agree with you about Miquita and her mum Andi - natural. The same as Bez and Shaun.

I am not keen on them either , unpopular opinion probably but I cannot stand Roman Kemp. Love his dad though.
Oh that Snoopy , snoozie whatever her name is, the with Jeremy Vine is another one that I could do without seeing on my tv , what was that dancing

Not unpopular with me as I said in a previous post I also don't like Roman but like Martin. However, in recent weeks there antics seemed very false and staged.

I ask again, "who is Jeremy Vine?"

 

[mrshb91]

Seems like only a couple of years ago his ex was on the show with him!

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!

Awful photo of the incident. Not a surprise it involved a boy racer Seat Leon car.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Apple + it was called Schmigadoon , something like that! Enjoy!

Oh fucks sake. It would be on the one streaming service I don't have. But thank you for letting me know. Much appreciated.

Haven’t read further down the thread yet as to whether anyone else has replied to this but I know for a fact that the cast of gogglebox can’t actually do much in terms of being an influencer/getting more famous/well known for something other than gogglebox. Take for instance the lad from the malone family who left the show, it was because he was getting veryyyyy popular on tik tok, same as the baggs family, they had to weigh up what was best, making a name for themselves by being on TV once a week or making a name for themselves on Instagram/social media and earning from that. They all say it’s because they didn’t have time/were pursuing other opportunities but it’s basically just what they have to say for quitting the show lol.
They also get all their food and drink given to them for filming on top of the £1.5k wage, they can order as much or as little as they want and it gets dropped off at the start of the week for filming.

So if this is a "fact" what about scarlett moffatt then?

Wow Mica

 

[boatofbubbles]

Eh, I thought his name is Marcus? And her name on Instagram is Mandy? Strange pair those two.

Her eye make up really annoys me, so clumpy surprised she can even see the telly

 

[Traveler001]

I really don't know, or are they playing to the camera.

One of them said she works as a something clerk - finance clerk? Bank clerk? It sounded responsible anyway and the other is pregnant, so I really hope they’re playing ‘joey Essex’ because they’ve seen how popular he was/is and how funny people find ‘dim’ people. Like on love island when that girl thought brexit meant we wouldn’t have any trees and it was played over and over - maybe they’re hoping to go viral.

Apparently, regardless of how many family members there are, each family is paid £1,500 a month, or £125 for every hour they have to watch.

And then of course many start earning a lot more as 'influencers'.

No update but good to see Ellie out and about with her friends

Do you think she called the paps on herself? Why an earth would they be there otherwise? She’s barely a Z list celeb

 

[coconochanel]

So if this is a "fact" what about scarlett moffatt then?

What about her? she quit gogglebox to do other tv work like I'm a celeb.
