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?

Abandrew gave me the creeps when he was saying Cheryl hasn't done enough to 'show' that she likes him. It felt very coercive
I laughed when Anthony was trying to explain a skateboard was better than a bike Grin
Loved Jesse's stepdad pressuring Michelle and seeing through her.

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 22:18

Nadia’s sister hated Anthony, didn’t she? As did her friends and flat mates at that bbq. She’s going to have so many people tell her they told her so when it all blows up! I’m fantasising that they’ll be at the final decision meeting and Nadia will go “nah, leave, I was only here for the money!”

Wooooh just watch the bit where Jesse's stepdad tells Michelle that she has a baby making window ShockShockShock

dimples76 · 21/07/2020 22:37

Jesse's stepdad didn't pull his punches did he. That said I think that he is totally right about their relationship and Michelle should end things and let Jesse find someone else who finds him attractive.

I was so surprised that Andy's Mum said she thought Vanessa was the one.

The twins' Mum doesn't smile much does she?

No we can discuss where they all now once it’s finished. It would be a shame to have the end ruined after all we’ve sat through!

I wonder how they'd all be living at home instead of this weird commune like previous series. Think Michelle wouldn't have lasted long without her sister in the next room. Or Nadia in Anthony's small flat.

Hope Andrew n Cheryl leave soon so we can see the other couples. Sometimes forget Vanessa & Andrew are there!!

WARNING:. Don't read Channel 4's Facebook page comments on this programme. Some idiot has given away the final episode. Angry

CatkinToadflax · 22/07/2020 07:29

I was Shock at Abandrew going to Cheryl “I can’t really remember but don’t worry, I didn’t really say anything”. Watch the bloody tape love! I liked him to start with but he’s shown himself to be nearly as twatty as Anthony.

Loved Nadia’s sister clearly seeing Anthony for who he is!

thismeansnothing · 22/07/2020 08:58

Right Anthony...... If a skateboard is better than a bike. WHY DIDNT YOU ASK FATHER CHRISTMAS FOR IT INSTEAD OF A BIKE THEN?!?!?! Here's a shovel mate, keep digging.

DH said Andys mum sounded like one of those 'mental Mumsnet MILs you tell me about' 🤣 her sneering facial expressions were just fab 🤣

I'm also a bit disappointed we didn't get to see Cheryl's dad again. The whole photo album of 'memories' was a bit of a joke. A page by page summary of awww remember last week?! Eugh

SchadenfreudePersonified · 22/07/2020 09:37

Thank you for the warning Daffs. What I'd really like is a sort of "Monkseal" roundup of each episode after it happens. Apparently James Weir has done that, but I don't want to read them yet in case I spoil it for myself!

Nadia's sister really DID loathe Anthony, didn't she? That girl is very perceptive. And as for that bike & skateboard comment - quite honestly, if I'd been Nadia I would have stood up and walked out then. Anthony is just slime in a shirt.

It was obvious that some of the families (rightly) see their son/ daughter/ sister getting used and don't like it. I loved that Jesse's stepdad put Michelle through the mill.

Abandrew is so deeply unpleasant, immature, manipulative and mean - Cheryl isn't my favourite but she deserves better than that creep.

"I can't remember" - oh yeah. We all believe that one. What I can't understand though is why the "expert" didn't call him out on it. They just pretend they haven't seen the footage.

1984andout · 22/07/2020 09:43

Yes I wondered why expert John didn't just show Cheryl the tape? At least she's have had all the facts and could make an informed decision.

InsertHilariousUserName · 22/07/2020 09:49

I think because they want her to stay in the experiment. If she'd seen it and left - drama over. It's all about ratings, theyll bide their time and show it for maximum effect - maybe at the stay or leave bit

BiggerBoat1 · 22/07/2020 12:55

How foul was lovely Andrew's Mum? Didn't see that coming. He's such a gentle soul.

Excellent work from Jesse's Dad grilling Michelle - he obviously saw straight though her.

Sharon was horrible when she was all smug about how much better Nick is than Jesse. And she's wrong. Nick is awful.

Simon and Alene just get cuter together. I actually love him!

AnneOfQueenSables · 22/07/2020 13:11

Simon and Alene just get cuter together. I actually love him!
Me too! And it was so sweet when his friend said Alene could be the joy in their family if she moved.
Maybe the experts were giving Abandrew the opportunity to come clean? Since he didn't, it will definitely all come out at the meal or the commitment ceremony. I don't understand why Abandrew is so awful on camera . It's as though he genuinely doesn't realise that his attitude is appalling eg when he said Cheryl shouldn't be upset because she doesn't even know yet what he said.

bibliomania · 22/07/2020 13:30

That's the thing, Abandrew genuinely believes he is the victim of these terrible women and is justified in how he acts.

Honeyroar · 22/07/2020 13:50

I think Abandrew is pretty stupid and easily played. Anthony can get him talking about exactly what he wants within minutes, and I expect the producers can too. They’ll just lead the conversation down a certain path, then let him waffle on. They’re probably nodding and agreeing with him off camera to keep him on the same path. Then they put the worst bits on camera. I’ve noticed Cheryl looks at the experts before she reacts in the stay/go interviews before she reacts.

DH has declared the series utter trash (obviously he's entirely correct) and leaves me to watch it on my own. And then demands in-depth updates on every couple and every episode! Grin

I wish they'd had Debbie on for longer. Not to continue bothering John but because she was so batshit! She made amazing viewing! Grin

Honeyroar · 22/07/2020 14:35

My husband watched the first week or so, but now does exactly the same, puts headphones in and watches something on YouTube but asks millions of questions about what happened!

"Simon and Alene just get cuter together. I actually love him!"

You cannot fault Alene - she's my favourite!

Simon is rude and makes Alene feel uncomfortable at almost every opportunity. His sarcastic comments when her dad spoke to Alene in Arabic. Can't stand him.

He's far from the worst guy on the programme, but Alene deserves MUCH better..

1984andout · 22/07/2020 15:25

Was that her Dad? I thought it was Alene's brother in law?

Hamsham · 22/07/2020 15:26

Ohhh, it may have been. Not sure.

Either way, Simon is very self-absorbed and makes me cringe

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 22/07/2020 15:27

Yes, Debbie was brilliant! John was such a disappointment - I’d have loved to see her with her Polynesian Man. I bet she’d be super high maintenance but have no idea and think she was just being all spiritual and zen Grin.

LunchBoxPolice · 22/07/2020 15:39

I had to laugh at Cheryl and Abandrew looking at photos and reminiscing about when “they first met” - it was a few weeks ago and they are already scraping the barrel to remember the good times. There is no chance they’ll work out.

YY to reminiscing about the good times!
