His family look like they were more in favour of Layla. He looked defensive when they were discussing their opinions of the girls with him.

I wonder how long he can put up with her 'Joe Pascale' voice. It's like nails down a blackboard.

Agree, the other contestant was serial fame seeker.

I think that both girls were equally dreadful and that Guv was the male equivalent of both of them. He would have been equally well suited to either of them. Lights are on but no one's home.

Looking forward to flicking through their glossy photoshoot in OK! when I'm in Tesco doing a big shop next week though.

I give it six months tops.

Guv looks to me to be the most unstimulating and uninspriring of men. No wonder Charlotte Church turned to drink in the end.

Oh yes - he's pretty (if you like that sort of thing) but clearly as dull at ditchwater. Imagine how long it would take before hearing him droning that everything was "Amazin'" got right on your last nerve.

Pinkchampagne · 29/10/2011 17:47

Missed the final last night but quite glad I did now. Had a feeling that awful Carrieanne would win as she kept getting chosen, despite all the rumours about her kissing the camera man & all that nonsence. Every week I asked myself why I was watching the silly programme!

PumpkinSizedEmmaRoyd · 29/10/2011 18:50

YY he did say 'amazin' all the time!! even DH pointed that out (I forced him to watch but think he secretly loved it)

PumpkinSizedEmmaRoyd · 29/10/2011 18:55

Another thing that REALLY annoyed me about him was that because he's so used to girls throwing themselves at him he literally refused to make a move on any of the girls, instead making them come to him.

The date with April in the hot tub was absolutely excruciating to watch, eventually he realised she was so shy nothing was going to happen so he said he realised he needed to 'man up' and go for it.

man up???! to kiss a girl in a hot tub who is clearly desperate for you to kiss her? hardly a difficult challenge! Confused

he made Layla make the move in the hot tub too. ALthough he never had that worry about Carrianne, she threw herself at him from day 1 (and CLEARLY got off wit the camera man too).

PumpkinSizedEmmaRoyd · 29/10/2011 19:00

sorry I keep remembering other things..

I loved it when Gav's dad said to Layla, 'have you got any children?' erm no. "But you can have children can't you?"

Ha! ha! such an 'embarrassing dad' question!

CalamityKate · 29/10/2011 19:20

I thought his Dad was a bit of a knob.

Surely they'd have ASKED THE CAMERAMAN what happened?? If only to make sure it didn't come out at a later date?

anniebear · 31/10/2011 01:34

sshhh..I loved this programme!! didnt tell anyone though hahahaha

Icelollycraving · 31/10/2011 07:47

I knew these two would be in the final. To be fair,I didn't like either one. Carriane knew exactly what she was doing but is very girl next door,the voice makes me feel violent! Leila looked very soft porn in the hot tub.
Gavin just does all the reality shows now as his rugby career is over (according to dh who refused to watch!).

PumpkinSizedEmmaRoyd · 31/10/2011 09:57

Does anyone know if they've got engaged/married/split up yet? Are they shooting an OK cover story as we speak?

Tw1nkle · 01/11/2011 19:30

I haven't seen any updates at all!!!!
I'm bursting to know how it's all working out....or not!!!

shineynewthings · 01/11/2011 20:07

I just caught up. What amazed me was when Carriane was with Gavin not one expletive left her lips, she was full on charming, and came across as really sweet, but when she was with the other girls she was quite aggressive and manipulative - but it was all self-explanatory when he met her family aka her mum. She looks the clique of the hard-nosed single parent and will interfere in their relationship I guarantee. After that I started to understand her aggressiveness and felt sorry for her.

I think Layla was the better girl, independant, real confidence - not loudness- which people mistake for confidence, and I noticed that when his parents asked them what it actually was about Gavin that they liked, only Layla could pinpoint actual qualities she liked, whereas Carianne said something about being attracted.

Carianne's probably had to fight hard for everything in life, and although I feel Layla had better qualities I do feel C. deserved to win at the end of the day, it can't be denied that she fought for it and there was a really strong chemistry between her and G.

I thought the ending was quite sweet.

They're already in O.K. this week though!

EmmaRoyd · 01/11/2011 20:19

NOOOOO!!! ARRGH! I might have to buy OK mag jsut to see them but will hate myself if I do.

kerstina · 02/11/2011 10:03

I NEVER by rubbish like ok magazine but I just might have to buy it unless one of you lot can fill me in on the gossip !!
Shinynewthings you summed it up perfectly and I agree with you. Love is blind and he will find out Carriannes faults soon enough but I really felt that they were in love.
That is something special and you can't intelletualise it too much.

EmmaRoyd · 02/11/2011 12:22

I begrudgingly admit he really fell for her, he couldn't stop grinning when he was with her. I don't think she really fell for him though, just in it to win it.

I laughed when it was down to Layla, April and Carrianne and they each picked an envelope and got a different date. Carrianne got the beach date and her reaction at a date on a secluded beach in St Lucia with the supposed man of her dreams was "oh my god that is so shit".

CalamityKate · 02/11/2011 14:57

I agree he's far keener on her than she is on him.

I predict it'll last a while, then she'll get bored with not seeing him that often (apparently he's away training quite a lot), the cash from OK interviews will dry up, and she'll dump him. She'll then get a flurry of paid interviews about WHY she dumped him, then she'll hook up with some other z list celeb, and so on...

Pinkchampagne · 02/11/2011 15:03

In this weeks Closer mag there is a feature titled "Charlotte says, keep that woman away from my kids!"

shineynewthings · 03/11/2011 20:26

Thanks Kerstina Smile. Oh God Pinkchampagne I'm going to have to break all my principles and buy this weeks Closer as well as O.K. Might as well go the whole hog since I watched every episode anyway!Grin

Pinkchampagne · 06/11/2011 13:45

Layla also has a feature in there, saying she thinks he is not over Charlotte Church. Didn't take her long to make money with magazine articles!Hmm

I have just caught up with the final show. Yuk to the ending! It really was cringeworthy viewing. I didn't like either of the final 2 girls. I could barely tell them apart - they looked like twins! The hot tub scenes with Layla trying to look all seductive were especially cringeworthy. Gav sure was having his cake & eating it, getting off with all those girls & claiming he had developed feelings for them all!
Every week I slapped myself for watching such tripe, but I always tuned in the following week!

madmomma · 06/11/2011 20:14

you must, shiney ;) and report back cos I'm still not over it

OP posts:
Tw1nkle · 16/11/2011 20:31

Well, it's coming up to 2 weeks - surely they've split by now.....

Pinkchampagne · 17/11/2011 20:46

I read something about them already experiencing problems in their relationship, as Carrianne hasn't given up the topless modelling, despite telling Gav that she would. Apparently he has watched the series back now & also sees how she behaved with the other girls & is wondering if he made the right choice.

madmomma · 17/11/2011 23:59

Well duh Gavin!!! What a silly, silly boy.
