Yeah, I'm American and watch Joel & Lia and find it mildly amusing and "cute." It's endearing but only in a superficial way. Mostly I watch it because Joel is physically gorgeous and the duo has somewhat of an endearing chemistry. It certainly don't consider it to be quality entertainment, though!I think it's precisely why he and Hatzakis haven't got more of a British audience. They're both so basic and fake that they're not worth our time!
It baffles yet amazes me that people can even make a living with such mundane and uninteresting content. To be honest, that's part of my interest in them. They are such a small but very guilty pleasure of mine.
Mostly, I just want to watch their "careers" either take off or crash and burn. I'm surprised Lia didn't catch more flack from one of their latest videos in which she referred to Paris and other like places as a "shithole." I can't say I wholeheartedly disagree with that judgement, but I was surprised to hear her say it, nonetheless.
I can't wait for more relationship/men drama from Joel, and to see who is joint homeownership venture with Lucy unfolds. Perhaps he'll end up moving back in with his parents at some point like Lia had to! (Did we ever find out what happened there?)
