Private Notes
"I think both of us kind of thought this could be a ‘friends with benefits’ thing. Then because we built up a friendship together it went away from that and straight to mates. We joke around saying ‘if we don’t pull tonight we’ll go with each other’ but I don’t think we really would. It’s so complicated isn’t it? This is what Magaluf is like. It’s crazy!” Imogen, Holiday Rep The Magaluf Weekender is a unique new six-part documentary series following goings-on at the infamous holiday resort of Magaluf in Mallorca. Each week we will follow two different groups of 18-24 year-olds as they head out to the resort to party away a long weekend of their lives. For some, it is their first holiday without their parents, as they check-in to the Lively hotel with their friends for three days they will never forget. Mainly thanks to the fixed rig cameras throughout the hotel filming their every move. On hand to ensure the guests have the trip of a lifetime are our four characterful holiday reps – Jamie-Leigh, Imogen, Brett and Jordan. With cameras filming throughout the hotel from reception to the bar, pool and bedrooms of holiday-makers, everything that happens on the trip can be recorded to capture the ultimate truth, good or bad, about what happens when you fill a hotel in a Spanish resort with young Brits determined to have a good time. In episode one, checking-in to the Lively hotel are 18-year-old childhood friends Emily, Scott and Fran from Manchester. As well as being best mates there is an added complication as Fran and Scott used to date, yet when Scott recently came out Fran was there to support him. Head rep Brett takes an instant liking to Scott and flirts shamelessly on arrival before later enlisting fellow reps Jordan and Imogen to make enquiries on his behalf about Scott’s availability for some holiday romance. But he is left feeling deflated when it becomes clear Scott is playing the long game. Brett
First to check into the hotel this week, are three small town lads from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. Best mates Harry and Tom, both 19, have come away with Tom's younger cousin Sean, 18 and all three single boys are on the look-out for love. Harry and Tom admit they aren't good with women but Sean is more confident and hopes that the other lads will follow his lead and conquer their self-esteem issues this weekend. Sharing the room next door are gorgeous identical twins; Pearl and Ruby from Bow, East London. The girls are an instant hit with the one of the reps, ladies man Jordan. “I don’t know what to say”, says Jordan, “You know that’s every boys fantasy? Two, fit twins!” After meeting them at the pool, hapless Harry and Tom immediately fall hook, line and sinker for the girls too. They then make a plan for the evening. Sean says, “Best thing to do is to go clubbing tonight with them. First club, if not one of us ‘tashes on to them we’ll just ditch them and go onto the next club.” That night the group head out onto the town and Tom looks all set to make a move on Pearl before ruining his own chances by getting totally wasted. The following day Sean berates Harry and Tom for not being more forward with the twins, “I just think you’re going to waste your weekend in the friend zone. If they were doing to do something (with you) by now they’d have done it.” The difficult relationship between reps Jaime-Leigh and Imogen continues to be tense as they share a room. Talking about Imogen, Jaime-Leigh says, “For me she is the exact opposite of everything I would want to be. The people she associates with, the things they talk about, there’s nothing about her that I like.” Imogen says: “She’ll say, ‘Hi babe, are you ok, how has your day been’ and then next minute she’s behind my back mimicking me. I just think it’s so two faced, so bitchy. She looks down people a lot. I feel like I’ve
“We propose to bring a bit of class to Magaluf. So we’re not going to bring one girl back to the apartment cos that’s not classy. We’ll just have like a topless party in the apartment. That’s better.” Gianni, holiday-maker First to check into the hotel Lively this week are three childhood friends from North London - Josh, Danny and Gianni. Joining them for a weekend in the sunshine are best friends and budding beauticians, 18-year-olds Hannah and Christie from Worthing. The girls have never ventured abroad before without their parents and are determined to enjoy their independence. As the girls get ready for a night on the town, Christie admits she can’t resist getting bronzed up: “I would say I’m a tanoholic. I’m obsessed with spray tan. I’ve got my own spray tan booth at home because my Dad bought it for me for Christmas.” Not to be outdone by the girls grooming, Gianni sprays his eyebrows with hairspray before heading out on the pull. Meanwhile, holiday reps Imogen and Jordan are on pool duty together and Imogen can’t wait to tell Jordan about her new tattoo showing the date she started her new rep job. Jordan is quick to point out that it’s also the date they slept together, leaving Imogen horrified by the double meaning of her new tattoo. That evening Imogen makes clear to roommate Jordan that he’d better not bring any girls back to their room and the pair fallout on the Magaluf strip, over his behaviour. Jordan manages to sneak an old flame back to their room regardless but wary of Imogen’s feelings, sneaks the girl out again within 40 minutes. But the following day he is left feeling guilty and admits to fellow rep Jaime-Leigh that he wants to change and grow up. Jordan says: “Imogen obviously does come first, she’s a mate of mine. I wouldn’t want to lose that friendship, I wouldn’t want to mess with that.” The boys take a shine to some stunning Icelandic girls at the hotel and invite them
Party girls Dom and Zoe from Reading arrive in town, followed by East London lads John, James, Omar and Aaron. Resort rep Jordan wastes no time in getting to know the girls.
Checking in this week are three fun-loving girls from Birmingham - Bex, Laura and Steph, on their first holiday away from their parents. Steph is due to celebrate her 23rd birthday during the trip and Bex admits she is looking for romance and quickly sets her sights on Romeo rep Jordan.
Essex sisters Abby and Vicki check into the hotel with their friend Chian. Romance is in the air for the reps as Jordan gets cosy with Abby, while Jaime-Leigh has his eye on one of the girls. A former couple who are now just friends also begin their break - Paul hopes to rekindle his relationship with Edmar, but all the partying threatens to get in the way of his plans. Last in the series.
The first guests to arrive at The Lively are three lads from Nuneaton, Cameron, Lewis and Josh. They have been best friends for years and admit to being closer than most. Josh says: “We’ve all kissed each other quite a lot and we’ve all showered together quite a lot.” Lewis has a girlfriend back home but Cameron and Josh are very much single and confess they have come to Magaluf to pull, but they admit to having varying standards. Cam says: “Josh will pull anything that moves, two out of ten, where as I’m a little bit more picky.” Next to arrive are four single party-loving girls from Liverpool, Andrea, Abbie, Ellen and Lauren. Flirtatious Lauren says: “I usually go for bad boys…Jordan seems like a little player, but he seems like a little bad boy at the same time and I quite fancy him.” But Cameron quickly grabs her attention too. The group head out for their first night on the town together, to check out what Magaluf has to offer. After a few drinks, Imogen can’t help herself where Jordan’s concerned, whilst Josh gets blown out by Ellie and so makes a beeline for Andrea, before promptly forgetting her name the next day. Meanwhile, hungover Cameron can’t remember what happened between him and Lauren, much to her disappointment. Lauren becomes mates with fellow Scouse Imogen and after discussing the history between Imogen and Jordan, Lauren promises she will be following the Scouse-code and steering clear of Jordan out of respect for her new pal. But that only makes her a more interesting challenge in Jordan’s eyes and more drama and tears soon ensue as the weekend unfolds.
First to arrive are four single boys from Rochdale, Ryan, Rob, Kieran and James. The boys have been close friends since college and it’s Rob’s first time abroad. Also checking in to The Lively hotel this week are three lovely 18-year-old lasses from Bridlington in Yorkshire, Lauren, Elenya and Lauren. Lauren says: “It’s nice to finally get away from home and not have anyone there to tell you, ‘You can’t go do this you can’t go do that.’” The boys admit to Jordan they have concerns for their mate Ryan and are keen to enlist his help. Rob explains: “It’s been nine months since he’s done anything with a girl.” Jordan works his magic as the group hit the bars together and Ryan is thrilled: “Oh my God, Jordan is a miracle worker, honestly I can’t believe it. They might be kisses on the cheek but they are still brilliant. Hopefully he’s going to help me out some more. I don’t know how far I’m gonna go, but I hope I’m gonna go pretty far.” Meanwhile, Jordan sets his own sights on Lauren. She is quickly warned off him by her friends but it doesn’t stop her from asking for his ring. Ryan gets a stripe shaved on his head by the boys after losing a bet. And Jaime-Leigh and Tobi get closer, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Imogen.
First to arrive are a trio of 19-year-olds friends from South-East London, Jack, John and Callum. All are single and looking for some action. John has high expectations: “The first lads’ holiday you go on is going to be remembered for the rest of your life, so you’ve got to make the most of it. I’m gonna definitely smash it.” Meanwhile Jack admits: “Our main target of the holiday is to get Callum’s cherry popped…” Next up best mates Lian and Becky check-in to the hotel from Norwich. Both are single and Becky says: “Mine and Leanne’s motto is go hard or go home, so if you can’t handle it, don’t come out.” Self-conscious Callum takes an early shine to Lian and is determined not to get stuck in the friends’ zone. As the group hit the town together, Jordan is keen to break the ice with a group game of ‘pass the ice cube’. Imogen and John soon hit it off but after too many drinks, John has to be put to bed alone, to Imogen’s disappointment. And having pulled Leanne during their night out, Callum is devastated when she also falls asleep in her room. Meanwhile, Jaime-Leigh and Tobi acknowledge the growing chemistry between them. Jaime says: “Tobi and I get on really well and we definitely have a connection. We are a little bit flirty but nothing’s really going to happen there, I don’t think.” But Tobi has other ideas: “It’s early days so far, however me and Jaime-Leigh get on very well, there’s a lot of chemistry. She’s a tough nut to crack, however with a bit of persistence I can definitely get there.” Fearing it’s make or break night with Leanne, Callum takes some advice from Tobi, who later realises Lian isn’t interested and encourages Callum to move on to other girls, resulting in tension within the group. As Jordan declares himself Callum’s wingman for the final night, will the boys succeed in their mission for Callum? And romance continues to blossom between Imo
First to arrive are three wet-behind-the-ears boys from Kent, Jack, Louwrens and Sean. Sean has just turned 18 and has never been to a nightclub before in his life. He has left his girlfriend and love-of-his-life back at home to come and experience real nightlife for the first (and possibly last) time. These indie boys are unsure how ‘Maga’ they are, but are keen to give it their best shot! Holidaying with the boys are joined-at-the-hip pair Bella and Chelsea from Essex. Bella is a former beauty pageant competitor who Jordan immediately crowns the ‘fittest guest’ they have ever had at the hotel. He plans to ‘graft’ like never before to make sure he gets his girl, although Bella is unconvinced due to Jordan’s reputation. The first night out ends in an early finish as first-timer Sean struggles with the Maga madness and despite Jordan’s efforts, Bella manages to stick to her plan and keep him at arm’s length. As the holiday continues, Jack shows off his Michael Jackson impersonation and ends up losing a bet and braving the strip in full makeup, while Andy Murray lookalike Louwrens ends up playing tonsil tennis. Jaime-Leigh and Tobi’s relationship continues to flourish, while Jordan takes Bella on a romantic date. So, as the guests and reps party away the long weekend, will Sean make it through another night on the strip? And will Jordan ever get his girl?
