What do these men have in common that attracts lovely young women to them so frequently? I assume they have magnetic personalities. Nick Knowles has another one. 30 years younger. It's probably just me but it makes me shudder.

Gods teeth @Bobbybobbins, you give us an impossible choice. Nope, can't even put them in order of preference.

Greg Wallace doesn't treat ladies well. The polar opposite in fact. Partner's friend went out with him for a few years and we have no idea why she stayed with him for so long. Nick Knowles tried cracking on to one of our NCT group who was pretty, blonde and half his age. She glanced down to her bump at which point he scoffed and walked off. He was known locally to do these things regularly.

Gods teeth indeed-they all make me boak!

HellonHeels · 20/08/2019 22:58

PH looks like a cult leader. Creepy.

Never mind God’s teeth, have you seen GW’s teeth?? Shock
Bloody hell, he’s got a few quid in the bank, surely he’d be able to sort those out? (Yeah yeah, cheap shot, body positivity and all that, but still... you’d have to be desperate to go near those moss collectors?)

longwayoff · 20/08/2019 23:10

Stop! @cakeninja, if GregG bleaches his teeth he'll be completely irresistible. Or something.

Possibly. But only if he puts a bag on his head.

I just read the reviews of the NK album on Amazon as suggested by a PP. My particular favourite is

"If you were shrunk down to the size of a pin head and placed inside of a dog turd this is what you would hear"

As someone once asked Debbie McGee, what first attracted you millionaire Paul Daniels? Grin

LittleAndOften · 20/08/2019 23:52

I read GW writes lists for every minor detail of the day, down to teeth brushing, and is utterly anal about where every item of clothing should hang etc. He sounds horrendous to live with.

I knew a couple in the military where the husband was like this - totally institutionalised about order and control. They split when enforcing his house rules became a form of abuse.

I wonder if GW is as uncompromising. It might explain why no one sticks around very long.

Glad you appreciated the reviews Grin

In spite of everything, I find Nick and Greg watchable.

Paul Hollywood though is just a spunksplat though. That risible fucking handshake is making GBBO unwatchable.

Patroclus · 21/08/2019 18:42

Some BBC person on here told us that Greggs appeals to us plebs, so he cant get his teeth done.

soreknees · 21/08/2019 18:47

@TSSDNCOP what’s the handshake?

I saw NK at the Ideal Home Show and he just came across as so bloody pleased with himself.

soreknees · 21/08/2019 18:48

I’m powerless to resist

Ahhhh I love Gregg!! Not enough to want to do him mind but he works out at my gym and I can confirm he has VERY muscular legs

wowfudge · 21/08/2019 18:52

Ooh I feel queasy - wish I hadn't clicked on the photo or read about his legs.

Psuedosudocrem · 21/08/2019 18:54

I do love a muscular leg but nothing but nothing could entice me to Nick Knowles. NOTHING.

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 21/08/2019 18:59

Hmm, before he was exposed as a sleazy bastard I would have had me a bit of PH. The other two, no.

ShirleyPhallus · 21/08/2019 19:10

I’ve posted this on the MasterChef threads before but let me just leave this here....

His torso looks good, but he looks like a tortoise peering from its shell 🐢

LittleAndOften · 21/08/2019 19:22

I really wouldn't want to meet Greg in r/l but he's got a good TV persona. I love the 'buttery biscuit base' video 😁
PH and NK both come across as incredibly arrogant. The PH ceremonial handshake is cringey, and NK just comes across as a grumpy bugger. I saw him on that yoga retreat programme he did, he really didn't come across well.
I imagine they all see themselves as a bit of a catch Confused

Patroclus · 21/08/2019 19:28

I always imagine pork hollywood has an ITV cop drama screenplay with him as the main protagonist written and hidden away

PasDeGeeGees · 21/08/2019 19:30

I'm as baffled you OP, I'd rather have a nice cup of tea.
