Back on the caravan conspiracy šŸ˜‚ when they were talking about lockdown Jenny said to Lee ā€œRay says stay till Septemberā€ and Lee was like ā€œbleeping what??!!ā€ šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m assuming Ray is Jennyā€™s husband? So there you go it must be leeā€™s.

Itā€™s definitely Leeā€™s caravan.

Just seems odd to me Jenny is happy to be away from her husband just to film Gogglebox during lockdown? There are a lot of the usual families not taking part at this time so seems odd to me Jenny was happy to be away from her own family? I've had a lot of caravan holidays but I really couldn't stand to live in one full time, they're so bloody pokey!

They get paid to be on the show by episode so I assume some people just arenā€™t in a position to give up their income.

I don't think they earn that much? They get a monthly allowance that is divided between them.

Plus it's not enough hours for it to be their full time job.

Quote:

During periods of filming, the families are expected to commit to 12 hours of filming a week across two six-hour shifts.

This means most of them film in between working full time or part time.

exactly. These people are regular everyday people that probably donā€™t earn masses of money they all seem very normal so their wage from gogglebox is probably a big chunk of income. And obviously she discusses it with her husband so heā€™s clearly fine with it. People are losing jobs left right and centre so I donā€™t blame any of them for continuing on the show! Everyone needs money to live

The past few episode, The water funnel, the lube as hand sanitiser thereā€™s a few things that they take from online videos but I canā€™t remember then all but people (like my parents) think theyā€™re so funny coming up with those jokes!

Ohh I never knew that just shows how fake they are then.
 
Aw I still love Jenny and Lee. I have noticed they set up their jokes a bit, last nights hand sanitiser was an obvious one but I just canā€™t help but adore their friendship and how close they are. Jenny reminds me of someone I used to work with so that may be why I like them so much. They just seem like a right laugh.

just because it isnā€™t their full time job doesnā€™t mean it doesnā€™t make up a big portion of their income. They split 1.5k for the 12 hours of filming. They could be out of any other work they have because of the virus. Ā£750 is a big difference for a lot of people.

I noticed the brummie mum and her daughter were doing that 'copy me' trick (where you get the other person to drink their water) that I've seen all over instagram!

I don't think for Jenny and Lee it's to do with money. Apparently they couldn't bear to be apart during lockdown so have moved in together (taken from a recent interview).

They could be furloughed or claiming other things on offer from the government at this time? Jenny is 64 so will get her Pension.
