scoop!!! Grin

FlowersAndShit · 05/11/2015 22:29

This programme makes me despair of the current male generation.

TheSpottedZebra · 05/11/2015 22:37

He was a twat, wasn't he? And she seemed lovely.

Geordie (?) gay chap has very pretty eyes.

TheSpottedZebra · 05/11/2015 22:39

Prison woman seems nice too. And she looks like someone famous but I can't think who.
Help!

Only1scoop · 05/11/2015 22:39

Hey Anne ....En and all

Zombie love

Ahhhh

Only1scoop · 05/11/2015 22:42

That beard is catching all sorts

Ugh

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 05/11/2015 22:51

Welcome back Scoop.

Flowers, they seem to pick them somehow. What an absolute toss pot Adam was, I agree with you Roller.
Confession, the way he talks I thought Melvin the barman was called Merlin and I was thinking, wow, that's a name and a half Grin
Or maybe I'm a wee bit over tired.

Beardy man is hopeless at dating.

TheSpottedZebra · 05/11/2015 22:59

I thought he was Merlin too. I didn't think he looked like a Merlin, but Mervin quite suits him.

Poor beardyman. He puts on a bit of a fake persona I think.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 05/11/2015 23:00

I love tall blonde man!

Only1scoop · 05/11/2015 23:01

They seem quite well matched in their white pants and well suited....

TheSpottedZebra · 05/11/2015 23:03

YAY ADAM AND DAN!!!!!!

But why only 1 date updates for everyone else?

Destinysdaughter · 05/11/2015 23:10

Aw so happy for the gay guys! They were smiling so much at each other I thought it was a good sign. Love the diversity of this show, it's lovely to watch people just being themselves and not portrayed as stereotypes. And the German gay guy is on next week and he's looking really happy! Excited Smile
( shit love life myself, maybe that's why I love this show so much, gives me hope!)

"Beardy man is hopeless at dating" innit Grin
You just knew, there was a point when her eyes switched off.

So apart from them and the first couple, Cameron and Louisa, it was a positive episode last night.
I like it because it is a bit warts and all and it isn't just starry eyes and gushing, but it was nice to see some happy matches, especially Lawrence (tall blonde man) with Iona, there was no messing when asked will you see each other again, he just came out with it. I liked their bit of Salsa outside too. There's potential there.

Lachlan's funny when he talks to himself, or to the marshmallow when his date went to the loo Grin

I did like Dan and Adam and thought they looked like they'd go well together right from the off. Was shocked at Adam's past with his bloodclot on the brain, his ladies man/stripper youth and all the drinks he was ordering before his date arrived. I thought he was going to get pissed and disgrace himself, thank goodness he didn't, he'd have missed out.

I didn't notice Thomas, the German guy, I really really want him to find someone. I want him to find someone we need to get our hats on for Flowers

Card declined- oh dear. After saying she was out of his league?!! Karma is a bitch.Grin

CocoPlum · 07/11/2015 19:24

I'm pretty sure he did say he was Merlin when he introduced himself to the bloke. The bloke in question remembered wrongly, I thought. My subtitles agreed with me!

ENtertainment Thomas is back in it next week.

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 07/11/2015 23:10

Thanks Coco, I've found him on Twitter @MerlinFDC4 I think, Merlin Griffiths anyway. There are tweets about getting his name wrong and there I was thinking I'd been mistaken.

Anyone watching?

Pandora97 · 14/11/2015 10:00

Yes I watched the repeat last night! I liked Thomas the first week he was on but I was cringing last night. You can see the desperation hanging off him...awful.

I liked the lesbian couple Jo and Naomi. They both seemed very nice so I'm glad they ended up together.

That woman from Darlington was hilarious. Her date's face when she was going on about farting was priceless and I loved her "what's that shit over there?" comment about St. Paul's Cathedral. Grin

TheOmeletteBadge · 14/11/2015 23:37

Finally caught up with the last episode - it was a good one! Loved Dean, he was really funny. I think Thomas is waaaaay too intense and must scare people off a bit. Shame, because he seems a nice person, but yeah... desperate.

You know, I really hope they end up doing an update programme about all of the couples who've got together. I reckon there might be a few First Dates weddings at some point.

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 17/11/2015 09:37

I've caught up too.
Agree Jo and Naomi seemed to make a nice couple. They just clicked right from the start didn't they.

Thomas really does need to find someone. I hope he gets suited soon, but I was uncomfortable for him especially after he'd declared it 'the best date ever' Sad

I thought Dean was quite sweet but didn't like his redheaded date, she came across as too far on the sleazy side of flirty. I'm not surprised it didn't work out between them.

Wonder if there's anything online about how the couples get on?

OP posts:
Only1scoop · 17/11/2015 09:41

Agree En

Didn't warm to the red head ironically enough. Said at the end they only met up one more time. All the 'babe' and general ott flirting made her look stupid IMO.

Her date on the other hand was lovely.

The girls make a very nice couple

VagueIdeas · 17/11/2015 09:44

I knew they were doomed when Dean called her "vivacious" and she said she'd never heard that word in her life Grin

Only1scoop · 17/11/2015 09:47

I know ....I inwardly cringed.
