Married at first sight!?

[BastardGoDarkly]

Anyone else watching this madness?!

I have (momentarily) changed my mind about Clark. He is really making an effort! Taking on Melissa's veganism even temporarily is not what I would have expected. I think there is potential.
Adam: childish! Sara's well out of that, which is what I would predict.
Adam (Caroline) not sure, they are taking it so slow it could just fizzle.
Lucie I like a lot more than I did initially, but unless Steve opens up, it won't work. If he cracks, even just a bit, though, she might stick with him.

All the couples seem to have one who is keener than the other. Clark, Adam, Adam and Lucie are smitten, I think. Steve will run for the hills soon.
I wish they had included some people in their late 30s/40s.

Lucie wasn't so irritating this week but she seems a bit intense. Poor Steve wasn't enjoying being grilled about his mum and Iraq. I don't think any of them will stay married. I really like the two Adams but the laddish one would get on my nerves after five minutes. Put him in the friend zone Sara.

Steve and Lucie seem a good match, both making the effort . I think she might bring him out of his shell, hope so.

Cameron got unnecessarily roasted for forgetting to order breakfast! She sounded quite scary

Laddish bloke - oh dear.

The fact that laddish bloke is training to be a counsellor also depresses me a bit. I know they're ordinary people, but I'm sensing a distinct lack of empathy.

Either that or it was really bad editing. She might well have been super controlling. She was definitely rolling her eyes when he was watching the football but tbh I do to with dh's pass times and he does with me too.

5 hours of drinking is a lot but they had lunch and were in a vine yard so not unexpected unless he's been drinking heavily the whole trip and that was the final straw.

I don't unpack on holiday either-less likely to leave anything behind that way

I was wincing at Clark's wife ( name escapes me) hobbling on high heels on cobbled streets!!

I did wonder how much of the football thing was set up. Presumably the production company gives the couples some kind of itinerary.

Id like to know the criteria they used to match the couples up. Not sure they are brilliant matches TBH. To me, taking me on a date to watch football would be a deal breaker as would the inability to open up and talk about feelings. Did the experts actually meet the people involved or was it just in the basis of a questionnaire?

However, chemistry is v elusive!

It's such a good programme. It does seem rather rushed though and I'm getting confused with the two Adams and the pair of redheads.

I really need to ask my psychologist friend about the 'nesting gene' they keep mentioning, I would've thought that would've been nurture rather than nature.

Yes I'm puzzled by the nesting gene too! They talk about it as though it's part of their actual DNA.

Are there are spoilers out there? I had a look but couldn't see any

I'm also really enjoying this show.

I can imagine the giddy feeling of the meeting and initial stages. That amazing feeling where you're akin to madness. But then it all settles down....

Fascinating stuff!

I think Adam was a bit set up with that wine tasting trip. Looks like they were stuck out there for hours as a taxi/minibus thing took them so may not have had control when to leave. He wasn't hammered.
He is a bit laddish but he is being himself. Seems genuine and was lovely with the bride's mother on the wedding day.
Can't really see him being a counsellor though.

Yes, there is at least one spoiler I accidentally saw online!

Glad to see there's a thread about this trashy amazing programme. I don't think Adam and Sara will work, he's too much of a lad for her and she wasn't that attracted to him initially. The rest of the couples I can't call, there may be more to lucie and Steve than I first thought. He just seemed shy. But he has to open up for them to get to know each other quickly enough for them to have a chance. I hope Caroline can be nicer to her Adam, he is getting smitten.

Sperm - where???!

Sperm - where???!

Running down your legs

Melissa and Clark , wow, wrong about them! They seem so well matched!
The party Adam, not going to work ( i predict, i dont know)
Lucie wasnt as annoying this week, Steve is very quiet. Not sure,if it could work, but might be wrong.
Beautiful honeymoon locations. Jealous!
Very interesting programme.

When is the next episode on?
