TOTES, RAH!

Made in Chelsea is the new 'The Only Way Is Essex' style reality series.

It follows a group of, hmm, what are they? Rich, RIDICULOUSLY rich 20 somethings, who live in London.  Here are the characters...

left - right ; Amber, Francis, Millie, Caggie, Hugo, Spencer, Freddie, Rosie, (seated-Binky, Ollie, Gabby) and Cheska

The main characters are Caggie, Ollie, Hugo & Spencer...At least that is how I think it was set out but I believe that Francis, (who is my favourite) and Millie & Binky are coming up in the popularity ranks. 

Noticeably, if you're a fan of MIC, Funda is missing from the photo above. Funda is/was the long suffering Brazilian girlfriend of Spencer.  Spencer has 'loved' Caggie for years apparently...they are only 22 ish by the way... and I think that being able to have whatever you want may become very apparent to him when/if he finally gets to be BF n GF with Cag's.  You just want what you haven't got at that moment in time.

Hugo is proving very popular amongst my home girls, even though he resembles a young, thin Freddie Mercury at times.  He is sweet and funny and listens and talks.  He has a way of making the girls feel like he is their friend and only has their best intentions at heart.  He is Spencer's best mate and tells Spencer often, to stop being such a prat. 

Spencer is a huge prat who looks like teen wolf

Well, Spencer has been a prat so far in every episode, (Monday, E4 at 10pm) but I got a glimmer of a sense of humour from him this week, when he seemed to send himself up by acknowledging that he loved how the conversation, (a private heart to heart between Hugo & Caggie) had turned into being solely about him within moments of his gatecrashing their table.

Spencer, whom I couldn't stand until this Mondays episode, is probably just the way a lot of us would be if we were very young and very, very privileged.  By privileged I mean LOADED! Example, whilst being in Sketch bar, drinking their umpteenth pricey beverage, during their umpteeth night out that week, Hugo and Spencer decided on the spare of the moment to ring Caggie up and tell her to, "pack a bikini and bring Millie, we're taking you away this weekend for your birthday - our treat"!  They had, just like that, decided to go to Cannes for the weekend.  Now, I don't know about you but if I went to Sketch, or a similar bar in London, I'd have no money left to take my friend on a surprise birthday trip to Butlins, let alone Cannes.

Poor old Millie doesn't know if she's coming, (literally) or going as she went on a date with Hugo, after bidding for him in a charity auction, (yep, kids with grands, bidding for charidee), and had since, told him that she'd like a relationship with him, only to be told by Hugo, that he actually prefers Rosie.  This is after Millie has pulled out all the flirtatious stops to such an uncomfortably obvious level... (dresses cut to the bony naval,  constant hair swinging and sucking of straws...the eyelashes will fall out if she bats them anymore).  And to be turned down for Rosie who, (sorry Rosie) but has a permanently alarmed look in her huge, frightened eyeballs. Such a pretty girl but what's with the bulging eyes?

All Millie's flirting couldn't beat the power of Rosie 'The Retina' Fortescue!

STOP IT ROSIE! IT'S WEIRD! RELAX!  Rosie then turned Hugo down just to confuse matters, so he, (obviously devastated) promptly invites Cag's n Mils to Cannes.

So hardy & resourceful these boarding school children. They just dust themselves off and start again don't they?

Caggie is meant to be the star girl but I find her a little bland compared to the others AND I can't take her sincerity seriously all the time she's pouting the entire way through her best friend Millie pouring her flirty heart out about Hugo dumping her for Rosie Retina. 

Rah Rah pout rah

 


boo hoo hoo-go

 


You just don't do that.  If you were telling your BF that you'd found out your nan had a dicky heart, then looked up and saw a pout, wouldn't you think, "you'orrible c*nt"?! I would.  It might just be a nervous tic though and if it is, sorry Cags.

Cheska, ("Now that Ollie's dumped Gabby, we're stuck with her"), it seems is just as bitchy as Amber.  She proudly wrote a grovelling piece on Amber's event, (I think it was the launch of a line of overpriced trinkets or something), but Rosie spitefully delivered the 'bombshell' to Cheska that Amber found it 'offensive' to be called 'an IT girl'.  Amber might be a very pleasant girl but she doesn't come across like that one jot. 

Here's Ambo & Chesky BFF!!!

Maybe she hasn't developed her personality yet. 

She has a spiteful face that needs softening,  by offering a few pleasantries now n again, rather than the cutting, clipped comments she utters at the moment. Some of her modelling photo's are beautiful but the frosty persona she has in the series, makes her look hard & one dimensional. You'll end up looking like a lemon if you keep up the bitterness Ambo!

Ollie the wally has just announced he's Bi. I'm sure he meant to be sincere but again, the expressions are just odd! And his ex girlfiriend Gabby looked SHOCKED hahaha 



Gabs, I'm bi....



I know, I'm as shocked as you are!

Binky is sweet, Freddie's funnyish, "Ollie, if you wanna be a model ditch the make up and stop straightening your hair", Funda is best rid of Spencer and Rosie's dog does not need therapy - (it's your eyes that are scaring the poor mutt Rosie!)  BUT BUT BUT, my favourite is little Francis.  The way he skated in to the restaurant in a posh suit, with a rose gripped in his hand, ready to play nerd and hand it over to his foxy date...and then he fell flat on his face.  He, in typical ex boarding school fashion, got up, handed the rose (to the rose) and didn't mention it. 

He is fabulous i think.  All twitchy and rich. Sitting at his desk in his office, in his company, studying a handful of diamonds, probably his.

He has the right mixture of nerdy school boy and young, powerful businessman. I also like the way he treats She Wolf Agne,  (that's a point, maybe Agne & Spencer should get together and produce little cubs). Agne is Francis' PA from Lithuania.  She is overtly flirty with everyone and very aware of the effect she has on the male species but Francis cuts her off in such a charmingly, inoffensive, twitchy way. 

Aww Francis.

  TOTES RAH!
