Thought id give this ago as i do like a reality show such as jersey shore jerseylicious the hills etc I'm from UK to so thought why not. I cant describe how annoying the people are they are incredibly stupid not in a funny way i mean as in dumbness I've never come across a species like this their vocabulary is terrible and seem to shorten words such as jealous, they say jel maybe they cant spell so thats why they shorten it who knows they make up silly phases such as vajazzle a tern mean decorating the ladies downstairs in diamonties (excuse me for my spelling now i think its rubbed off on me all this thickness/dumbness also i am typing on touchscreen phone so forgive me for any spelling mistakes) the cast seem attractive but they are so fake i actually know someone who for a birthday went to Essex and bumped into a cast member asked for her autograph as she actually enjoys the show to get a nasty response for spoiling her night out she was a fan only wanted a happy birthday autograph. They say the show is not script but to be honest all shows like this are scripted to an extent in brief fake tits fake people fake personalities fake show that sums it up right in my and a lot of peoples eyes
As a 23 year old, I guess the whole partying night in and out clubbing shtick is supposed to appeal to my demographic, but that's impossible when these lame (some well into their 30s) tools try desperately hard to act like wild college frats. If that isn't bad enough, this show is a snooze fest. I didn't laugh once, and you know you have gem when these grown adults drag through cheesy one liners that will cure insomnia. Congrats England, you have found yourself your own Jersey Shore.
If you can choke down mindless dribble, then this show is for you. If you enjoy a bunch of egotistical narcissists in a never ending game of try-to-be-witty, all of whom fail, then this is for you.

well, as i live in Essex i thought i might give it a go, although i had my doubts before i had even seen it, and i wasn't wrong, i'm not sure where you got these people from but what an embarrassment to Essex, yeah, the types that are portrayed can be seen hanging around the likes of Sugar Hut etc but day to day Essex people are nowhere near as shallow as they are portrayed in this rubbish programme. The acting is completely wooden and false, do they have a script? it looks like they don't, the language is more "Thames Estuary" than Essex, and it makes out the girls to look like tarts. Where abouts in Essex are these people from? There are a lot of shots from the Brentwood area, but i don't know anyone from Brentwood that behave like them, does Pixie Lott sound like that? i think not, so disgusted were the Essex folk that the programme made the Essex Chronicle with an unfavourable report, so please just give it up.i for one will not be wasting any more of my time watching such complete drivel, even 1/10 is far too generous
I've occasionally watched over the years & each season's getting worse. I've stopped watching now. Main issues are:
1. The Cast.
The longer serving cast members are repeatedly going through the same storylines & convo's e.g. Amber & Dan, Lockie & Yaz.
One of these types is apparently "over the drama" - in which case, they should be on a spin-off show so that people can specifically opt to watch their mellow conversations, and or they can stay but take a supporting role. Focus should turn to newer cast e.g. Ella, Joey, Chloe B & her mum etc.
2. There's barely any drama. If they need ideas, they should watch MIC on Channel 4.
3. Dull filming locations.
They mainly film in the same 4 places: park or garden / someone's house / the gym / a dark empty club.
If Essex as a location allows, they would benefit from finding a nice, brightly lit bar or restaurant - or somewhere glamorous / enticing.

Never thought I'd waste my time watching rubbish like this,but after having taken a look at "Jersey Shore" and seeing how bad it was I thought there could be nothing worse than that!I was wrong.A friend mentioned it can get worse and told me about this show.
The Only Way is Essex has got to be the most retarded TV series ever made and that is why you gotta take a look if only for five minutes and then never go back.I don't know why MTV waste their time,but I suppose if you can't be the best you might as well be the worst!Its obviously their angle in television.
There is one thing they got right?Everyones a moron!
