Yes..

I need to keep Vicky busy enough to keep her away from online slots.


Don't you find it just the tiniest bit interesting?..that a programme clearly directed at straight people making relationships would even appear on the radar of a lgbtq+ member..especially in this day and age....if I was in that situation I would be out protesting itv studios demanding our/your show...in fact I just might...on all your behalf.

Because its like playground romance, boy likes girl, girl likes boy, they get together then they might like other boy or girl split up etc. Its frivolous and its so corny people like to watch it as its different to any other reality show. Plus I think there is a bit of a romantic bone in everyones bod lol

Because it's the most popular show with under 30s and everyone under the age of 30 is gay

I was at pride london last week..I disagree with that..and the over 30s I spoke to despise the show.

I blame internet porn and the lust for flesh.

You're contradicting yourself.
You said lgbt people liked the show and now you say those over 30 despise it.
Maybe it's nothing to do with sexuality but with age?
Maybe young people of all sexualities are more likely to watch it than those older?
Any stats on this high lgbt following?

Its difficult to pin down the popularity of LI, I guess its the beautiful bodies that people aspire to, because it certainly isn't the dialogue

there is something about it that hooks you in even though alot of the time I am watching with cynicism

also it is an easy watch, you dont need to spend too much brain power on it

all you need to say on LI is where is your head at....end of

I said the ones I spoke to despise it...about 6 people in total.


I'm surprised by its popularity on tibb though..which is where I admittedly have taken my stats from.

Tibb is tibb, people here are likely to enjoy RTV. No big brother anymore so LI will do.
