Anyone watching? The Sydney couple are never going to last. She’s so annoying, surely just on it to get on tv??

Have their ever been a couple from these shows that have stayed married?

I definitely noticed that, Kurri!

YettaTessieMarmelstein · 19/07/2020 11:40

If Susan confronted me so nicely and fairly about being unreasonable, I would be horrified. I would immediately apologise and explain to Cheryl that it was Actually none Of my business. The fact she was so angry just proves what a bully she is.

Honeyroar · 19/07/2020 12:31

That was funny, Andrew picking the back of the car up!

The ironic thing about her reaction to Susan’s comments is that she was indignant about criticism of her, but she was doing exactly the same thing to Cheryl.

It was interesting the twins tried to bamboozle Susan by implying she'd confused the twins and Michelle hadn't said anything. I'm pretty sure they were both bitches to Cheryl. Also telling that Anthony backed off an apologised profusely when Susan spoke about the bullying at the commitment ceremony but the twins did the opposite. It's difficult to make yourself look more UR than Anthony and yet the twins managed it Grin

What would you do if you were Sean & Susan? I moved for love from a big city I had lived in all my life to a small town two hours away and found it hard. And that wasn't even anything like Sean's farm!!

I doubt I could make such a move. It's not just the lifestyle change, but she'd be leaving friends and family - all of her support group. When things got oppressive (and they would - it's such a contrast) then she would have no-one to have a drink and a moan to to get stuff back in proportion.

I think Susan is lovely, and she thinks the world of Sean, but she is right not to let her heart rule her head.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/07/2020 15:32

Thanks for that link Kurri

I'd missed that (probably letting a dog out for a wee, or in from a week, or going for a wee myself . . . ).

My word that lad is STRONG! Shock

I think the whole world is lucky that he's so good-natured.

HeIsAVeryBadBoy · 19/07/2020 17:23

I think the whole world is lucky that he's so good-natured.

Totally agree! Grin I was so baffled when I saw it, took a second to register. I turned to DH and he was like 'you saw it too?!'

I've never seen the like in my whole life Grin

BiggerBoat1 · 19/07/2020 17:38

LOVE pick-up-truck-Andrew. Such a lovely, gentle man. I hope Vanessa realises how lucky she is and doesn't try to change him.

The twins are awful alfa females. Typical bullies who think its all fine because they're so pretty.

Susan is sweet but she doesn't come across as that bright. A simple soul. I feel sorry for her and Sean though. They never really had a chance because of their lifestyles.

Cheryl is a spoilt princess, but no wonder. Her Dad is barking. Hopefully she'll distance herself from him and get a chance to grow up a bit. She seems quite vulnerable.

Jesse and Simon seem like good men.

Im am increasingly convinced that Anthony is a man-bot. No real emotion. I'm really hoping Nadia bites back at some point.

I know I am over-invested in this Grin

@x2boys

Oh God this show is strangely addictive isn,t it,it's appallingly fabulous .
Yes! I dislike most of them, especially the twins and Anthony. I do like the cowboy and Susan, I would love them to work.

I hate the fact that the shy, soldier guy, is expected to step up and be more outgoing, just to suit his wife. What's wrong with being quiet? Nothing!

The experts are cringeworthy. I did wonder whether in Australia they are still living in the 1950s?

Sertchgi123 · 19/07/2020 18:25

Oh and Cheryl's Dad, speechless at his rudeness. He should have decked him instead of getting changed.

Runkle · 19/07/2020 19:29

Abandrew is no saint but I really do think the producers are favouring Cheryl and clearly shaping her future insta/influencer career.
Do you think any of the coupes have had sex?

I think Sean and Susan are most definitely at it. Looking at Nick’s face, I suspect he and Sharon are too.

Sean & Susan
Nick & Sharon

Muscle head and the American woman did I'm sure

Exactly. Some people are quiet. They find it difficult to verbalise their feelings - it doesn't mean they aren't experiencing them deeply.

It annoys me when the "experts" push and push at Big Andrew and Simon - both of whom are quiet, private people - and force them to articulate feelings which are very personal. Simon was in tears at one point and they were goading him with "Would you have liked your dad to have met Alene?" and similar intrusive remarks. Of course the poor lad was going to be upset - and it served no purpose other than "good" tv. It was cruel.

I agree re: who's Done It Grin

Sean and Susan
Nick and Sharon
"Muscle Head" (LOL) and Scarlett (I thought she came prepared for a sexy honeymoon when she appeared in her little silky PJ set. All of the other girls were in shorts and tee-shirts/androgynous, non-inviting nightwear) I did feel a bit sorry for Scarlett. She was very immature and expected some sort of fairytale, but MuscleHead was one of the controlling types who only wanted what he wanted and treated her like rubbish. I don't think she ought to have been on the show.

I think that if Debbie had been paired with her fantasy Polynesian stallion, she would have out-sh*gged the lot of them!

I think that both Big Andrew and Simon want a relationship and not just sex, and are prepared to let things go at their own pace. I think Sean was the same - he just struck lucky that he and Susan were besotted with each other from the beginning. Jesse would like both sex and a relationship, but is prepared to let Michelle set the pace.

Psycho Anthony and Fireman Andrew are really pee'd-off that the women they are paired with don't want sex with them. They regard it as an insult to their masculinity, and they also want to have that degree of control. It annoys them that they can't manipulate Cheryl or Nadia - if they could sexually sublimate them that would be a huge "triumph for these guys.

A PP said that Fireman Andrew claims to have PTSD after the show - I don't believe him. It's attention-seeking behaviour so he can use the "poor me I'm so sensitive" card in the future. At the last dinner party he was an absolute bar steward and totally disloyal to Cheryl just to get the attention and sympathy. What a rat!

I've never watched this sort of show before - and I can't believe how it has lured me in and held my attention. I don't like most of the people. but am so worried about the ones I do like that I watch so that I can send advice via the ether, through time and space (this is from 2017) telling them "Nooooo" etc.

I like to think I have helped a little.

InsertHilariousUserName · 19/07/2020 22:47

Yes, why is it the quiet types are meant to overcome this apparent failing, and come out of their shells.

Why aren't they left alone, and the ones that can't ruddy well shut up encouraged to, well, shut up a bit?

If we do most of our communication non verbally then maybe they should be helped to read the signs more, and not just fire questions so much!

no one would guess I'm the quiet type Grin

Egghead68 · 19/07/2020 22:47

Agree that Susan and Sean and Nick and Sharon are having sex. Muscle-head and blondie - possible.
Alene and Simon - on the way.
The rest - never ever

Egghead68 · 19/07/2020 22:49

@InsertHilariousUserName I agree. Why should introverts be coerced or even encouraged into extravert behaviour?

Italiangreyhound · 20/07/2020 00:33

@InsertHilariousUserName

As an extrovert married to an intovert I could attempt to answer your questions, of you really want me to!

"...why is it the quiet types are meant to overcome this apparent failing, and come out of their shells.

But I'd also like to hear from introverts married to other5 introverts - is it all plain sailing or are there issues too?

And, of course, extroverts married to extroverts- how does anyone ever get a word in edgeways!

And lastly, introverts married to extroverts- what do we extroverts do that drives you nuts!

This made me laugh. I do this too. I have been sending Nadia 'run' vibes Grin

As an extrovert married to an extrovert with extrovert DC I can confirm there is too much speaking in our house! It's sometimes impossible to get a word in and people talk over each other.
I think the expert encourages quieter people to talk so it can pretend everyone has work to do ie the quiet people need to work to talk more; the chatty people need to work to give them opportunities to talk and cynically it's simply to fill airtime. The experts are terrified there would be dead air, if they allowed participants to be quiet.

Let's hope she listens to us, Anne

ginandgingers92 · 20/07/2020 08:27

Anthony is awful. Why is she so forgiving

ginandgingers92 · 20/07/2020 08:28

*too soon!

Why is she so forgiving of his awful, controlling behaviour?!
