Can tv get any lower? Just find this show so vulgar. Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for pushing the boundaries..:but this? I can't think of anything less attractive..
Who are these people that sign up to come on the show??? Totally baffled.

I love it when they describe themselves.. 'Yeh I work in finance... I'm a pretty normal guy, a bit shy..'

You've got your cock out on the TV, Dave.

Tanfastic · 19/11/2020 23:30

I'd love to know if they get paid. I really don't know where they get these people from.

Spanielmadness · 19/11/2020 23:31

Drives me mad when the vulva is described as the vagina over and over by the presenter.......

MissMarks · 19/11/2020 23:31

They are clearly all unwell

IhateBoswell · 19/11/2020 23:33

I’ve only ever seen bits of it on Gogglebox. Beyond weird, like something from the 90s Eurotrash.

ItsAlwaysSunnyOnMN · 19/11/2020 23:35

I watched two episodes last week

I found both times I wanted to see how it worked out with all the dates

I am constantly thinking are you not concerned Bill who runs the corner shop or Sally your colleague at work watched the show and saw a close up of your bits and worse knows how desperate you are to be on tv

LittlePearl · 19/11/2020 23:38

Awful programme.....where's the mystery, the thrill of discovery?

thinonice · 19/11/2020 23:40

Yes! Poor people, they may not even be aware... abuse! Can someone in Channel 4 tell them?

We have just watched a couple of episodes having not really seen it before. My main thoughts are where are the pubes?! All of the women tonight had no pubes. Really? Is this across the board because I have missed the memo!

I know!!! I just clicked on this thread to say the same! I think it's an age thing, pubes seem to be very much not a thing atm. Nothing to do with porn, of course.

They don't get paid, apparently - or not according to an interview I read with one contestant.

Did anyone see the episode with the rather curvaceous lady whose chosen date clearly didn't fancy her at all? I felt awful for her. He seemed like a knob tbf, but it did make me think how vulnerable people make themselves by going on a show like this.

Defenbaker · 19/11/2020 23:53

It's vile, the participants come across as deluded freaks or desperate wannabes, the whole premise is just sick. I avoid it, but occasionally laugh when it's featured on Gogglebox.

Yeah and there always turns out to be someone who knows him. Nobody at work really wants to see Dave from Finance naked, do they? Especially not if you live in a small town where everyone knows each other.
AngelasLastEgg · 20/11/2020 00:32

They don’t get paid to be on the show.

So I’m at a loss as to why they do it, although I suspect with many it’s an opportunity to show off tattoos.

tectonicplates · 20/11/2020 00:34

If you want to show off your tattoos, there's social media.

AngelasLastEgg · 20/11/2020 00:36

Well there’s such a high proportion of contestants with a lot of tattoos on there I just think that must be a reason!

acatcalledjohn · 20/11/2020 00:37

The ginger haired girl started by saying she was looking for someone "genuine". As if picking a date by how their cock looks is in any way genuine.

And she still got ghosted by the immature dickhead.

Watching a 60YO squirt cream in to navels and then dip a strawberry in said cream was, well, cringeworthy.

I find it weirdly compelling TV though. The ginger dude in the green box was incredibly well hung but all I could think was "I hope he's not much of a grower, because, ouch!" Blush

40somethingJBJ · 20/11/2020 00:37

I caught an episode of this a month or so back, and was shocked to see someone I know on there! She’s a middle aged, sensible, intelligent mother of teenagers and probably the very last person I expected to see in all her glory on tv!

runninguphills · 20/11/2020 00:38

I saw it tonight. Its all a bit odd and made me wonder why on earth people would get involved. Your neighbours, colleagues, relatives etc all get a look at your shaved fanjo on the telly. Really??

Although, despite all my tutting at the show (whilst holding on to my pearls). I did think all the women had very normal bodies - which made me feel mine wasn't so bad after all.

OldAndWornOut · 20/11/2020 00:41

Most of the men have big cocks, so that explains why they go on there.
They want everyone to know!

It really is the most unpleasant programme I've seen. (Except perhaps 'sex clinic')

User258544 · 20/11/2020 00:42

It's really wierd. In the same class as other freak show TV from C4.

OldAndWornOut · 20/11/2020 00:44

I usually quite enjoy all the other channel 4 shows. Embarrassing bodies, bizarre ER.

ComtesseDeSpair · 20/11/2020 00:44

Some people are just really confident about their bodies and don’t find nudity uncomfortable, I suppose. And I guess if you feel that way you don’t particularly care if your colleagues know what you look like naked. In some ways it’s a pretty positive piece of TV because from what I gather only a very small minority of the contestants are drop-dead model material gorgeous and most have heaps of so-called imperfections and things that films, magazines and Insta edit out - and yet there they are, naked and happy and not worried at all that they don’t look perfect.

I sort of admire it in away: I have a rocking hot body and I’m really happy with it and people seeing it; but I’m still not sure I’d be able to face millions of people across the land staring at and commenting on it simultaneously.

OldAndWornOut · 20/11/2020 00:48

That's a pretty good point.
I've found that it's slowly getting more sleazy and cheesy though.

Shaniac · 20/11/2020 00:48

Wasnt there once an episode where one contestant was a school teacher?!

OldAndWornOut · 20/11/2020 00:56

I think I'm probably a very uptight old bat, but reading about a school teacher, naked, on tv, makes my blood run cold with.. embarrassment?
