Isn't that a container serving as a cup/glass replacement.

Yes, it holds her soft drinks. Looks about 1.5.pints - sugar overload.

I couldn't see quite how much takeaway food they got this week, but big Sandra had 3 cartons in her hand, and there were more in the carrier bag. F*** me, but she can eat.

Pity Dom and Steph weren't as pissed as usual. I don't/refuse to watch X-Factor, but was it edited to make Cheryl look like that, or is she completely/cretinaceously unaware that she's being filmed? I remember the days of yore when she was a nation's sweetheart type of girl - that sort of behaviour will make her a hated person. Or maybe that's Cowell's plan.......

Crumbs they had Cheryl Cole sussed didn't they. On the money with that gobby scouser.

You just know Mr Rev Kate has patiently endured outlaw issues with her mother.

Fat gobby daughter in corner. Yes we now know who ate all the pies.

New family with zillions of dogs. PMSL at Dad patiently sitting there while the side of his head gets a thorough tongue bath.

Excuse me, I'll have you know that the "gobby scouser" (if you mean C Cole) is most certainly not a scouser! Gobby yes, scouser no!

Sorry you're right. I just heard an accent, identified it inaccurately, and associated it somehow. Gobby ahole > must be a scouser.

I'm not making this any better am I.

Only just watched this from the other night. Still a really entertaining show.

Have they all got to have a pet to be on it now, swear there are new dogs and cats everywhere (along with the flashy sofas!)

Ps. the greek daughter is lovely, looks better every series..

[HaroldBishop]

The Greek family are becoming absolutely insufferable, especially the mother. They seem to play for the cameras now and are really overblown.

The German chap's way of phrasing/pronouncing/emphasizing things always makes me laugh, this week's highlight being "I wouldn't take a piss in that kitchen"

When will mum and dad Greek Family realise son Greek Family is gay ? its possible he doesn't know yet.

Yep noticed that Greek girl consciously looked into the camera a couple of times. The time they start acting up for the cameras is when the show starts to lose its appeal.

Steph and Dom on great form tonight!

Think C4 have dropped the ball somewhat here showing dead dogs. Was there any warning before the show? The appeal of this show is it's humour, nobody wants to see dogs being killed and turned into food.

Pretty sure there was a warning about upsetting scenes.

I was a bit out of place on this show, not that I normally watch it.

Not exactly lighthearted Friday night viewing.

They've been showing more of the serious stuff this series.

Last week they showed the 911 stuff.

I think I was out of the room at the time. Way to put a downer on a Friday night!

I had to look away for the dog bit, never thought of myself as squeamish before but I found my limit.

Goggle Box is about how average viewers react to a wide range of programs, so, unfortunately, it was just the sort of thing they should have shown IMO!

But, anyway.... what about poor old Alan Henning????? :/

I didn't see the original show but it was good to see the horror of all the viewers at such things (and the terrible beheading of the aid worker) it can't all be slagging off Cheryl Cole (even if she does deserve it).

Saw the first bit of the dogs piece and had to fast forward through it. Gogglebox is light hearted entertainment not heavy political debate so I think this sort of thing is entirely inappropriate for this type of show. I suspect most people watch it for a laugh on a Friday night - stick to Panorama if the dog story is more your thing.
