Ready for the next car crash carnage - please fill up other thread first. I'm sure you can think of something. Grin

It was half Irish on its mother’s side, if my mystical skills are correct (and let’s face it - they clearly are).

Brilliant plan! I would love to have some kind of LTB clapometer, where the public vote and if the balance tips far enough we reveal short snippets of what has gone on or been said in earlier interviews or behind their backs.

Just enough to keep the drama. Followed by some careful counselling advising that they need to give it another go for —our— their sakes.

Then the final group meeting would be Schadenfreude and I explaining exactly which red flag should have been the turning point for each relationship (with most appearing in the first week I reckon), and advise them on getting their acts together and recognising all the nasty tricks they have played or been played by.

it would be dramatic and then deeply cathartic for everyone.

@LarkDescending

Can I be responsible for scouring the Polynesian Islands for eligible bachelors? I have hazy memories of a highly unsuitable subtropical holiday romance in my youth🍹 ☀️ 🏖
Only if participants specifically request no one from Polynesia. They can’t be given what they want.

What year is series 5 from does anyone know? of course someone does, this thread holds every answer known to man

Oh! YES!

This would go down a storm!

Real time punishment for nasty behaviour! Perhaps tasers could be involved?

Season 5 was filmed in 2017 and transmitted in Australia from January 2018.

Ooh! Little electro-shock collars!

Might be a little unethical but I think it’s fine as long as they sign up for it.

Good point.

But if you get a few Texans with "I heart Polynesia" tattoos we could share these out among the people who say "STRICTLY NO AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SPELL HUMOUR".

I would have really loved to see Anthony’s face as he was shocked for calling Nadia frigid.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 17:25

Electroshock collars would be even better! And more discreet!

Would we give the shock things to the contestants if we knew something like that was going come up?

Or the audience?

Or BOTH!?

TBH - I think bar fatal electric shocks are going to be the least unethical part of our New and Improved Series (Now With Added Embarrassing Footage)

No one is safe! I’d like to think there are different shocks for different times. I’ll keep the “spontaneous” shock button for the truly terrible moments that need immediate reactions. I fear for our couples if you get hold of it Schadenfreude. Best we don’t overuse it Grin

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 17:53

It is not possible to "overuse" it- however, I bow to your "woo" experience and instincts. You have been right more often than not.

RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder · 10/08/2020 17:55

As with all things, less can be more. It’s a delicate balance of shock and awe WinkGrin

Sertchgi123 · 10/08/2020 18:11

Most of us would be happy to give contestants electric shocks, according to Milgram. Shock

RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder · 10/08/2020 18:27

If Milgram’s study had Anthony as the guy pretending to be shocked, they’d have seen a lot less unwillingness Grin

Looking forward to meeting our first two couples. I will be disappointed if there is less than 1,500 miles between the respective home towns of any bride and her bridegroom, because where’s the fun in that?
