FTA-TV Gogglebox

[drd23]

Why the **** are all the Goggleboxers sad that Commando got voted off Survivor? He was pure shit

 

[Chicago1]

They don't really watch Survivor. If they did, they'd know Steve was hardly on the show this season. TYJ

Tom from Gogglebox was interviewed as part of Joy FM Word for Word Podcast
A few tid bits from the interview that may be of interest to some:

Should be their last season of Gogglebox doesn't want to continue

Was a single father to 3 children

Aways knew he was gay but everyone wanted him to be straight.

He had sex for the first time with his best friends sister and she got pregnant so he married her.

She was cheating on him so they split and he got custody of the children.

Bought a block of land in the country. Lived in a caravan with his 3 kids and then built their family home

His parents were 14 and 15 when they had him. He was therefore mainly raised by his grandparents.

His father didn't approve of him being gay but now accepts him.

Hosts breakfast radio for Joyfm

There is a lot more to his story so if you want to listen search word for word joy and it should come up on any podcast app.

Shame they don't want to continue but understandable.

**** I love that dad.

They need a full cast refresh bar the Lebo's. They're best on. The Holly family can stay too. As can Keith, but piss off his wife.

 

[Chicago1]

His parents were 14 and 15 when they had him.

Is he from Mississippi? Kentucky? Alabama? West Virginia?

Disagree, I like the cast.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Disagree, I like the cast.

Same, there's a few that I'm not particularly keen on, but for the most part, I think they've nailed the cast. The households are great and very likable.

 

[lepregnome]

Do they get to watch shows in advance to avoid spoilers? Like The Bachelor tonight?

 

[Beerfish]

What did Holly say before the batchelor that cracked them all up? Took it back twice and still couldn't work it out.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Here we go

 

[electricfeel]

I like the Lebos but almost feel like they'd be more entertaining without the girl. She doesn't offer much or say much

 

[Beerfish]

Just have the dog.

Keith watching the AFL Grand Final. The reason i posted this is when they showed the goggleboxers watching the AFL GF, he had a white singlet on with his trusty bottle of beer. Here, there's no white singlet and no beer.

 

[Beerfish]

Well he IS a Carlton supporter.

 

[drd23]

I don't think they watch anything live. IIRC they get given a DVD (or something similar) with everything they are supposed to watch and they watch them all in one go on a Saturday or Sunday

Whilst that kind of makes sense I'm still shattered.

Ah, it seems I must be wrong if this article from a couple of years ago is still correct:

3. How does it work?

Two cameras are set up in each household’s living room, with a producer in a “control room” nearby (usually a bedroom) to log the interesting bits. The households are told what to watch, given something to watch, or simply filmed watching their favourites shows. Filming begins on Wednesdays and finishes on Tuesday, with editing ongoing throughout the week.

Well that's ****ing weird. I assumed it was all done remote.

I remember someone posting about the Dalton family and the GF a few years back.

They had actually been to the game supporting one of the teams and then had to re-create the excitement of watching on tv.

 

[Gasometer]

Oh yeh, Anna’s fake caring of the GF was so obvious

There would have been tears had they watched it live..she is so black and white Pies

Must have been painful reliving THAT...

 

[HBF]

Keith is the best one on this show. Bloody funny bloke.

I mentioned this above.
It is technically week old news.
