THE SHOW IS REAL
THE SHOW IS REAL. The cast are told who to meet up with but ALL DIALOGUE IS REAL. Please do not confuse this with scripted, which is someone reading lines from a card. There's too much real emotion in TOWIE and none of them are trained actors.
Please understand TOWIE is REAL and rise up this stupid American trend of calling shows scripted. For instance, Lucy's engagement really is on the rocks with Mario right now. Arg really does still love Lydia. Joey and Sam realy are a proper item, Kirk really is working for his dad.
