The Only Way is Essex

TOWIE returned on Sunday night with a Bang. Series eleven began with Billie Fairs and Greg Shepherds pregnancy news. We were able to see Billie having a scan in which the doctor was to tell her the sex of the baby. However we would not know of the sex yet as, in typical TOWIE style, there was going to be a huge party in honour of Billie’s pregnancy, and the sex of the baby would then be revealed.

The episode featured two big parties; Billie’s pregnancy party and Mario’s birthday party, which was extremely elaborate and over the top, in a rented party house.  

At Billie’s party she revealed to the gang that she was having a girl by cutting a cake and displaying the pink sponge instead of blue. She also gave them all another shock by announcing that Greg had proposed to her whilst they were on holiday, and of course she said yes! Billie looked extremely cute telling everyone all her exciting news 😀

Gemma and Bobby’s awkwardness continued throughout the entire episode as they bitched about one another to everyone and insisted that they were waiting for the other to apologise first. At the end of the episode Arg got them both together and eventually they managed to sort out their differences and once again became BFF’s, awwwww.

I also cannot ignore the new and improved Mario. Single and looking extremely Suave, Mario definitely stole the show with his pimped out Range Rover, OTT party house, dapper suits and flirtatious behaviour; especially towards the newbie Grace, who happen’s to be playing both Mario and Lewis, Hello player 😉 Gemma referred to Mario as The Wolf of Essex and he seems to be loving the title as he posted this picture on Instagram:

Mario’s birthday bash turned out to be a huge success and everyone had a good time. Well everyone except Charlie and Ferne. They tried to mend their broken relationship at the beginning of the episode but it went completely downhill by the end; Charlie had heard many rumours that Ferne had cheated on him and they had a full blown argument. Charlie threw out the accusation to Ferne and she denied the entire thing, he then called her a hypocrite and mocked the “crocodile tears” that were to come. Charlie also told Ferne that there was no chance they would get back together and Ferne was so disgusted by Charlie’s behaviour that it doesn’t seem like she’ll be wanting that reconciliation any time soon. I have to say though that Charlie is looking very smart in this series, even more so than Mario, and I didn’t think that was possible. 

Sam Fairs also spoke about her Crohns disease on the episode, and shared a cosy moment with her mum and sister Billie. Billie and their mum couldn’t stop crying but Sam simply laughed and tried to put on a brave face.

The first episode has already has so much drama, I cant wait to see what’s to come throughout the series.

Engagement surprise – KUWTK

Last Sunday we finally got to witness Kanye West’s extravagant engagement surprise to Kim. It was truly breathtaking and magical. Everything was so radiant and over the top, exactly how you imagine all of Kanye’s events to be; the huge venue, 50 piece orchestra, beautiful engagement ring and even the gorgeous fire lamps made it one of TV’s most spectacular moments.

Of course Kim said yes and her entire family were there to witness it, as Kanye had arranged for all the family to be hidden in the stand during the special moment. As soon as Kim said yes, Kanye and Kim shared a special kiss, and then the entire family came racing out onto the field to congratulate the couple and take a look at the mesmerising ring.

The engagement surprise episode wasn’t all smiles and roses as we also got to share in Scott Disick’s sorrow when his mothers health deteriorated and he flew off to New York, unable to be present for the engagement. At the end of the episode we came to find out that Scott’s mother had passed away a day after Kanye’s concert, which the entire family attended a day after the engagement. This made the family realise that there are always good times that come along with the bad. Kim expresses to the cameras that “This is life, it’s what happens when you have a big family.” Kourtney was by Scott’s side throughout the difficult time, and was also present alongside Scott when his mother passed away.

In regards to Kim, if the engagement was this big I cant wait to see how the wedding will be.
