I intend to one day, I did watch one episode and enjoyed it. It's the constant accusations of it being fake that puts me off

Basically, roughly fifteen - twenty people living in Notting Hill, London have agreed to have their lives filmed 24/7. Then every Tuesday at roughly 11PM [was originally 10PM on Wednesday] a 'highlights show' is broadcast - similar to Big Brother. During and after the show, you can go onto their website [http://sevendays.channel4.com/, and use their feature called 'ChatNav' to go onto the 'characters' profiles, leave them a comment - and tell them what they should 'do with their life next', so you could offer advice to issues that have been raised in the show etc...and then you could see their potential progress the following week. And they can also reply on the website as well. Most of the chararacters comment on their feedback [some of which is quite negative], and this has also been broadcast - so it's quite interesting to see how they react.

It's essentially a 'real life soap' - and the viewer can change what happens as it goes along. I find it very similar to Big Brother in the sense that they're very diverse, interesting people - and quite a few of them, as I've said before, would definitely be fit to be Big Brother housemates.

The only person who seems to think that its fake is Dezzy and he hasn't even watched a single episode lol
You only have to watch 5 minutes of it to realise that it isn't fake.

We didn't know the characters at that point - we were just being introduced to them. It's like Big Brother, really. When was there ever a series of BB in which you could say that the first episode/first week were the best highlight show/shows? Never - because it took time to learn the housemates names, get to know them - work out who was entertaining and who wasn't, etc etc. It's the same with this. It was never going to be brilliant after the first episode - and I think people that gave up aren't fit to be judging a show they, really, know nothing about.

Like I've said, some of the 'characters' are like Big Brother housemates, and there's a few that in particular I think you'd like Patrick [Ben, Laura Z, Samantha (who are both hot), possibly Malcolm for anyone that's still watching].

The main thing I like about this is that over the last few weeks, the 'characters' have started to meet up with each other [because originally they were complete strangers] - and it's been really interesting to see the results/how they interact with each other. The Ben guy in particular [he goes on loads of dates] has been on dates with the other character, Samantha. And then you can tell them what you think of them on their 'ChatNav' site - which I think is great because in BB you could never tell the dull ones to be more entertaining or the entertaining ones that had their idiotic haters to ignore them and continue on being entertaining - but you can on this. It's essentially a soap, except it's all real. I think it's great and don't understand why people haven't given it a chance. I just get the feeling that a lot of people, not just you, want to spite C4 and will put them down at the earliest possible opportunity. And trust me, I would love to see them fail too - but not with this, because it's actually good...

That's just made me want to watch I'm quite pissed I missed it because If I watched it on 4OD Or something it'd be too late to write in and tell the bores to st.fu or anything like that or contract the fit birds with my email address

Do you think they'd make a Series 2?

I thought it was fake too, I always had a go at ILTRW and was like 'Would you st.fu bitch it's not real' but when I watched the 2004 series I realised how epic it was and that it's quite hard to stage it.

There was this guy that died of aids like literally a day I think after the series ended, if it was fake they would of told him to leave and be with his family etc

I hope you do give it a go soon, it would be epic to hear your opinions on the housemates, if you do watch it I think you should start with New Orleans the recent one.

Because not only is every girl in this series very hot, but there's alot of entertainment in every episode and plus it's basically on TiBB already so it's just a matter of clicking a link and watching it rather than having to track down all the episodes lol
