MrsJamin · 12/11/2016 16:28

Ooh I'll watch it tonight after strictly! Thanks.

QueenMortificado · 12/11/2016 17:05

Foof I need something to watch so I will!

Is it called the same thing just US version?

LouisvilleLlama · 12/11/2016 17:19

It's a channel 4 box set think they have the aus version also, tbh kinda disappointed with this series 5 episodes 3 episodes worth of weddings, 1 honeymoon and 1 worth of like 3-4 weeks after.

The US version lasted 6 months i think but they showed so much more

QueenMortificado · 12/11/2016 17:36

I'm on episode 1 now Louis, will watch it until strictly

QueenMortificado · 12/11/2016 17:48

Lolz at the expect on it being called Dr Pepper

She is so misunderstood

Arcadia · 12/11/2016 19:15

The US one has so many episodes - not sure I have time to watch it all!

MitzyLefrouf · 12/11/2016 19:21

I knew the American version would have loads of episodes. I like the brevity of the British series.

Episode 1: Here are the loons and here's the wedding
Episode 2: Here's the honeymoon
Episode 3: Watch it go tits up

The end.

I'm sort of addicted to all of these. They're what I watch when cooking, sorting washing etc & I try not to let DH catch me to avoid the scorn!Wink
The US ones are far too long & I skip a couple 2 thirds through. I love Dr Pepper Grin. My fave is the aussie one. I recommend 7 year Switch also, it's even more addictive.

FoofFighter · 12/11/2016 22:12

I've binge watched it for the last two evenings and up to S1 ep 8 now - when people have caught up a bit I'd like thoughts on Vaughn....

QueenMortificado · 12/11/2016 22:13

I'm on episode 5 now foof

I love how Jaime and Doug's relationship is progressing

Velvian · 12/11/2016 22:27

Vaughn seems an arse. Monet is very patient.

FoofFighter · 12/11/2016 22:35

Vaughn is a chauvinistic pig and I get so many red flags going off whenever he is on screen, I think he has the potential to be a very nasty man. Very surprised he passed whatever background tests they do on them. Poor Monet.

QueenMortificado · 12/11/2016 22:42

Fucking hell, him asking her if she would have a threesome / scheduling in sex. So inapprorpriate, what a pig

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 12/11/2016 23:16

I watched the us ones a while ago. Vaughn was an absolute arse.

MrsJamin · 14/11/2016 11:21

At home with a bug so binge watching the USA version. It really is slow... Now just one episode about them choosing somewhere to live! Wish it was a hit more condensed.

QueenMortificado · 14/11/2016 11:49

Mrs I found it frustratingly slow, they seem to overlap at least 50% of the content of an episode to the next one

I forgot how much American tv is like this

MrsJamin · 14/11/2016 12:40

It's all the recaps and previews, you see the same stuff again and again!

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 14/11/2016 15:47

Yes, I screeched WE KNOW THAT! at the tv about one thousand times during the usa version. Grin

CrystalMcPistol · 14/11/2016 15:49

American TV programmes with their re-capping of events from all of 5 mins ago really test my nerves!

RedMapleLeaf · 14/11/2016 16:53

Also, annoying intrusive background music. I noticed this on 60 days in prison.

CrystalMcPistol · 14/11/2016 16:54

And overly sincere narrators. They're mad for an overly sincere, warm voiced, narrator.

QueenMortificado · 14/11/2016 17:21

And waaaaaay longer advertising breaks than we have

Those 10 minute long informercials make me want to gouge my eyes out

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 14/11/2016 17:35

The voice over guy on most American tv shows reminds me of the news reader on South Park. I'm always waiting on some sarcasm to be dropped in but alas it never comes...

MrsJamin · 15/11/2016 07:09

I ended up skipping episodes 6-9 as it was going so slowly, some sweet couples on there that genuinely worked at the relationship and found compromises to make it work.

OohNoDooEy · 15/11/2016 13:34

I can't wait for tonight's UK episode! I've looked at their instagram accounts but they're not allowed to put anything telling on there.

Caroline has defended herself about the breakfast telling off saying it was her dry SOH and editing that made her look bad.
