3 months! Oh dear.

They're either caught up in the excitement of having met on TV or as Zebra says, they're trying to make the TV thing into a bigger thing.

Pukker-up EN, I'm moving in for a slobbery one!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 17/12/2015 22:09

Zebra - waitress has tickets on herself. I am not a fan.

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 17/12/2015 22:14

Mwah Mwah Mwah.

All join in, don't be shy Grin Wine

Anne, it's a lifetime since I heard that phrase, but it's been very aptly applied there I think.

It was a bit 'meh' at tonight. At least Victoria and Scott can begin to fill those two spare double bedrooms.

X has tickets on herself I LOVE that phrase, I had forgotten it. Thanks for reminding me, just in time for seeing my SIL at Xmas...

MrsLogicFromViz · 17/12/2015 22:46

They used to say it in Kath and Kim quite a lot too.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 17/12/2015 22:50

Pleasure, Zebra. I love it too.

Nodowntime · 17/12/2015 23:09

I thought it was a bit meh too! Louisa was the best bit, I was pleased for Luke too, and intrigued by what was going on between the waiters, they do always look like they have history. Though in any case I thought it would have been uncomfortable/too early for the waiter to bring his date to work to celebrate.

Was the Tinder woman a bit drunk by the end of the date or just consumed by lust? 😦

Nodowntime · 17/12/2015 23:14

The whole proposal left me a little uneasy, I don't know why, but it didn't add up/flow, though Scott looked mega nervous and I'm sure he was genuine. I completely understand the situation where you are both no spring chickens, want children, like each other madly, what is the point of waiting it out? was it sort of lacking chemistry on her side, is that it?

bumbleclat · 17/12/2015 23:19

I fet uncomfortable too he hd that just divorced white knuckling "Im fine"look on his face on their first day and 12 weeks later he still had it.
I think they're not really a match, how can she be so comfortable to move into his massive house- I feel there's a power imbalance from the word go.
Theres something vulnerable about him I want him but Im happily married :)

ohYestoYestyn · 18/12/2015 00:56

Louisa is so like Miranda with no script, hilarious!

bumble, it's not that massive being 3 beds, and maybe she is on good income too. But yes it felt a bit desperate from him to find a new bride asap (it showed even on their 1st date), but hopefully it goes well. She probably is genuine about him, but she's quite hard to read. And they can't know each other that well yet?

MrsLogicFromViz · 18/12/2015 12:30

Sorry - I hope the link works now :(

Sorry - I was trying to link to a 'Jim'll Paint It' picture of Craig Charles in the First Dates restaurant being served by Fred. Doh!

Sameshitdiffname · 18/12/2015 12:36

I thought he proposal was crap but I think it's because I just think it's far too soon and it was ruined on last weeks show who was being proposed to!

I love Louisa! I really want to be her friend.

I hate the fact that they say 'they've never seen each other before' they actually get sent pictures when they agree to the date!

donajimena · 18/12/2015 12:53

I love Louisa too. She's very funny completely off the wall and very pretty. I hope she finds happiness.

Destinysdaughter · 18/12/2015 20:23

Agree Louisa is like a RL Miranda. She's so quirky and hilarious! Hope her date does genuinely like her. Love that she turned up in her mum's blouse!

Destinysdaughter · 18/12/2015 20:24

If any of you are single, would you go on it?

Sameshitdiffname · 18/12/2015 21:58

I'm single but wouldn't go on it, we signed me youngest sister up to go on it but when they rang and explained how it worked she gave it a miss

Destinysdaughter · 19/12/2015 11:41

Ooh tell us how it works! Love a bit of insider gossip...Xmas Smile

Sameshitdiffname · 19/12/2015 11:45

You can be asked to repeat conversations or say certain things depending on your entertainment value.

You get emailed a picture of your date their name dob occupation it's not a blind date like suggested.

They also ask what you weigh!

Quite a bit of it is set up like most 'reality tv' now!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 15/01/2016 09:04
