Newbies, so far so good.

I like the brothers. Mother and son - she needs to relax a bit instead of 'interviewing' him. He even said as much at one point, telling her to watch the programme. They reminded me a bit of the mother and son who were in it for a relatively short time, previously. She used to do that - 'you like such and such, don't you' - which came across unnaturally.

I am sure it's hard to get the balance right from the start but I think both lots will fit in nicely.
Still too much of Ellie and Izzi for me. But anyway... 😁 not a bad start to the new series.

I liked the mother and son - we laughed out loud at him saying 'let's just watch it' when she kept trying to get him to talk about whatever programme it was.

I usually do that too - although I did watch late last night. Sure I am often here blathering away to myself. 🤣
That's the thing nowadays, we can watch whenever, though years ago, I religiously did watch it live on Fridays!
Reading your comment, looks like a good start.

When I watch it depends on what's being shown, if I watch what's being shown but I haven't seen that episode yet I have to watch that before I watch Gogglebox 😂 @ChastityDingle is a hero for the lists because otherwise I'd have had so much stuff spoiled!

It wasn’t as bad as usual but 10 minutes into the programme an Auntie was mentioned. 🙄

I mute the tv as soon as they appear on screen. That way at least I can be mildly entertained by all the shaping, while not hearing a word of their latest dull as ditchwater dialogue.

The producers clearly think that they are popular and that people want to hear their baloney every week. They get a lot of screentime. 💤🥱

Eugh, the couple with the loud/annoying daughter are back 🙄 Ellie and Izzie definitely get too much screen time and the Siddiquis family not enough.

I already really like the new mother and son duo but the jury's out on the new brothers.

I didn’t realise they are brothers, they don’t look alike

I really hoped the annoying couple with the annoying daughter would be dropped. But oh no, there they were. 🙄
I like both lots of the newbies. I think they will settle in well.

Love the mother and son too.
I thought the brothers were a couple until one mentioned how he met Lyndsey! 🤣
