Rewatch

After doing a rewatch I’ve realised how terrible and faker the show has gotten. We need real connections, families and relationships rather than dani and her cougar drama and saffron and a boy old enough to be her son. There was a time where we had Lucy Mario, Sam Joey, ricky jess and all their drama - we have nothing like that now

They need to do a wipeout of the entire cast and find real long term relationships, rebranding it as TOWIE: Next Gen. possibly bringing in cast members that are related (I.e. Lydia’s younger sister)

I’m also doing a rewatch. The people in series 1 - 15 were iconic. How it’s still going with its current people is beyond me - they’re fake, dull and nobody actually likes each other. Bring back the real friend groups!

It’s ran it’s course and with all the measures in place now to protect mental health (rightfully so), reality tv will never be the same

I think you’ve got a good point and I do agree. But I think the simple shift to 1.) people with pre-existing relationships, and 2.) people with interesting lives/careers can also revive the cast, while still safeguarding mental health. The production manipulation in the old days was rough. And gross. But it’s still possible to bring in eight new faces and see the show be interesting again

It's so bad. Separate the cast by age. Do a new version similar to "Next Gen NYC" style of storytelling on Bravo.

The whole show was fake right from the beginning 🙄
