The Only Way Is Essex/YMMV


 * And You Thought It Would Fail: Before the show launched, the concept was pretty much universally derided as a pointless knockoff of a Channel 4 show called Seven Days. TOWIE massively defied expectations by becoming a hit while the C4 show died a death and is now barely remembered.
 * Magnificent Bastard / Manipulative Bastard / Bunny Ears Lawyer: Lauren, Amy and Maria all fit this trope well.
