I swear the mother in that new mother/son pair gets worse and more pissing irritating every week. Needs to be gone.

oh god that toy hospital show got me good

the way she said “hello baby” to the panda, i sobbed

 

[Aussie]

oh god that toy hospital show got me good

Me too

 

[LaBlonde]

Me too

it was the way (like jenny pointed out) that she held the panda like a baby and the still tangled bow. it looked like it was going to be so silly when it started but oh my god

Auntie Margaret klaxon!

I reckon they’ve got a bet on to shoehorn Auntie Margaret in every week!

Does anyone else think Ellie and Izzy are now making a point of talking of nothing but food? It's got beyond a joke now. It's their only topic of conversation throughout each episode. Why are they even on this show? They're about as funny as an ingrowing toenail.

it’s honestly getting ridiculous. i can’t believe that the show started with them just listing items from a christmas dinner - it’s basically a parody. i’m sure they’re amplifying their accents too.

i think their time on the show is up tbh. amira and amani fill the sister role, and are WAY more entertaining than them (maybe the most unsung pairing on the show) - ellie and izzie just aren’t fun to watch anymore.

amira and amani

Two of my favourites, love those sisters! The one in glasses is so funny.

they’re two of my favourites too! they have a really lovely vibe and are naturally funny: they never play up to the camera either.

Agreed, the younger sister has really grown in confidence too, she was so quiet to begin with.

The Siddiqui's dad was back too, I always thought the sweet ginger cat (Rocky?) was his, but we saw the cat without the dad last week. The dad is definitely that cat's favourite though, lol, he loves a cushioned lap and fussing.

I think they should have an entirely new bunch of viewers every season of Gogglebox.

They’re brilliant - so funny!

I still love Dave and Shirley.

i thought he was the dad’s cat too! i actually always assumed that they were in dad’s house but, now that i think about it, it must be one of the brothers’ as there’s a few times where siddiqui snr hasn’t been there.

this is making me realise that i don’t know whose house they’re actually in for lot of the non-couple pairings i know it’s lee’s caravan and (i think) tremaine’s house….. guessing it’s ellie’s house because they’re her dogs.

will add this to the list of googlebox things i think about too much

Must be Ellie’s as Nat was on the show during covid

i’m sure they’re amplifying their accents too.

Me too! I swear it wasn't so ear-bleed inducing in the early days. I have to put them on mute 90% of the time now.

Absolutely agree. I've never laughed at a thing Ellie or Izzie say, but Amira and Amani have me cackling at least once an episode. I'm not sure which one is which but the one with the glasses is so witty!

I really enjoy them.
Amira was usually the more vocal one but of late Amani has started to chat a lot more. They are very entertaining.

Ellie and Izzie, I now mute the tv. I can't listen to any more chat about aunties and food. They barely watch anything or talk about the stuff they are supposed to be watching. Tedium personified.
