Why is TOWIE seen as a massive success and its cast turned into celebrities when....
 

Their ratings are consistently under 1 million?

Big Brother smashes it in the ratings and the housemates are on tv everyday for 11 weeks yet leave the house as unknowns.

Most people see BB as a flop but it slays TOWIE, Made In Chelsea, Geordie Shore in viewership yet gets pretty much no press attention

Probably because on TOWIE they have essentially the same cast every year and there are only a handful of major characters. Whereas on BB the cast is larger and changes every year so the audience forgets about them after the series ends.

I think its cos towie and geordie shore etc. are so unbelievably ****e that the press just take the piss out of it, but bb is just the same every year and there's not really anything to take the piss out of

I don't know actually.

I mean, the likes of TOWIE is so car-crash and literally everything is staged, but people latch on to it like there's no tomorrow.

And good lord, the way some Essex people act since the show started to broadcast, it' horrible. People from Essex don't speak with that fake horrible accent, yet I'd say 80% of all people from there have suddenly adopted it over the last few years. ew.

Dunno .... :shrug:

Maybe because the BB HMs are such desperate wannabes and the TOWIE cast are just having fun ..... :puzzled:

HAHA!

Are you actually joking?

No, just guessing - I've never watched TOWIE and I've watched BB on C5 ..... :shrug:

Oh good lord, the TOWIE cast have Wannabe's written all over them, not to mention they're so fake.

You don't want to subject yourself to watching it either, it's vomit-inducing.

why does bieber sell so many records when great artists dont
why does dancing like a freak in club make you cool but do it at a bus stop people think your crazy lol

answers on a postcode lol there is no reasons why in this mad world

towie is for those who cant spell mensa lol ( i had to check my spelling on that lol :)

That's another topic you don't want me to get started on... drivel!

Pretty good question actually!

I think the TOWIE lot become even 'more famous' because ITV shot them about on their programmes (This Morning, Loose Women, Celebrity Juice etc) - hard to escape them sometimes!

I'll take your advice .... :thumbs:

"Why is TOWIE seen as a massive success "


For Chavs its fun.

But its limited.


Made In Chelsea
is made with USA money.



Its expanding to any town that can cook it up.


Also it sells worldwide
Japan loves Freaks for example.



Life In The City

Because its BAFTA award winning :'(

TOWIE is awful and pointless! I have no idea why anyone would waste a second watching that vile show! :yuk:

:hugesmile:

towie and made in Chelsea are having their day like bigbrother did!

It's on a digital channel too... 1 Million for ITV 2 is pretty good isn't it?

Because they are the same characters the whole series.

The nature of big brother... eliminating housemates every week... makes them more disposable.

and every series is basically the same cast, so people get use to seeing them throughout the year.

Towie is **** the people on there are Fake there is nothing real about

Because success isn't always about ratings

Quality over Quantity.

TOWIE are on a smaller channel (ITV2), which is aimed at women. Their more celebrities cause Women who watch the show would buy the magazines they appear in e.g OK or Loo Magazine.

Mostly the same cast, interviews and appearance on other 'bigger' tv shows, plus they are constantly bringing out named products and promoting them constantly all over the place making themselves more well known etc.
