Gogglebox #6

[ChastityDingle]

I still enjoy it overall. But I agree, it has become more and more a case of how can I grab screentime. Oh I know, I'll ask is the world round? Or something equally stupid. I think I'd crack up if I had to deal with the level of stupidity every day, that the two dopey friends and Shirley go in for.

I like the ones who appear to be natural, and are actually funny, and enjoyable to watch. The Siddiquis, the three Ts, Simon and Jane and Amira and Amani are reliably entertaining and witty. I like some of the newbies too.

I cant stand Ellie and izzy either. The one that always looks at the ceiling when talking is so annoying.

 

[Iamthebosun]

If Mary and Giles ever get bored of being on Gogglebox they could be the first (?) couple on I'm a celebrity get me out of here and they'll be fine because the jungle has less bugs and issues than their house does.

I feel the show has lost it's sparkle. When it first started it was must see tv. I remember everyone talking about it, people at work and even my own family. Now it's just saying the dumbest thing possible to get air time, and that's down to the producers who clearly have their favourites.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Omg Georgia and Abby.
Do you need a passport to go to Scotland?
It's bloody deliberate at this point isn't it?

 

[ChastityDingle]

What a load of crap

Oh dear, I'll try to select better ones for you next week...

 

[ChastityDingle]

Enjoyed last night's programme overall.

The Scottish sisters add absolutely nothing, hopefully they will give them the boot. Muted the tv as always for Ellie and Izzi's contributions. Far more entertaining with all the head rolling and eye rolling, with no sound.

I used to quite like Shirley and Dave but they seem to have very much gone down the route of Shirley being too stupid for words, while Dave laughs at the rubbish that she spouts.

 

[KatLit]

I must be in a minority. I can't STAND the Cotswolds pair! Darling. Darling. Darling. Darling. Nobody I know says it every.fucking.sentence.
oh shut up do

 

[ChastityDingle]

A minor gripe.

I was watching an old episode last night, it featured various Christmas programmes. One clip was from Love Actually. Some love it, some hate it, and some will never have watched it.

But the goggleboxers all act as though they have no idea what it's about and comment accordingly. It would be more natural imo, for some of them to say, oh this scene is really sad. (Where she thinks she is getting a gold necklace for Christmas but it's a CD because the gold necklace is for his girlfriend.)

They do it at times too with real life events, sometimes historic ones, acting as though they never heard of something well known, or that they don't know what the outcome was.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Shaun and Bez
B - 'I went to see a musical last year. Back to the Future. It was really good'.
S - 'You've seen a musical? Back to the Future?'
Pause
S - 'I went with you!'
B - 'Oh yes you went with me'.

They're so funny.

 

[Jumbojet1251]

I’ll l never forget Joanna Lumley, in the biz for decades, worked with everyone, stage, film and tv actress, comedy and straight, auditioning for the role of Patsy and said to her ”May I call you Jennifer” and Saunders saying “No, you may not”.


Went of her and everything she’s ever done at exactly that moment. Stuck up cow.

[Redline]

I can't stand Giles and Mary - particularly Mary.

Giles: It was a 'hoot'

Mary: OH GILES, STOP IT, IT'S SUCH A VULGAR WORD!

Giles: But Mary...

Mary: NO GILES. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!?

It doesn't help help that she's a massive Tory shill too.

 

[Iamthebosun]

I saw an article about Mary quitting vaping. She doesn’t seem like the type. She’s so judgmental

I'm not judging, I'd probably be a crack addict if I lived in that house with Giles, but I agree she doesn't seem like she would vape!

 

[ChastityDingle]

I like the two Scottish lads.

I like them as well. They come across as two lads just enjoying a chat. Not simpering at the camera or saying something stupid to get attention.

This Friday is a best of, and the following week then, the Celeb version with all the usuals, starts.

 

[ChastityDingle]

New thread as the old one is full.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I'm glad Johnny and Denise have made up. I always liked them and was sad when they fell out.

Not a bad bunch of celebs though I could do without Olivia Attwood and Vicky Pattison tbf.

I'm glad Stephen Mangan and his sister are returning too.
