*Mated and Fucking Sorry*- We warned you, but you thought you could take it or leave it. THAT'S NOT HOW ADDICTION WORKS!

Please fill up the other thread first - there's still five pages and we're going to need every one of them!

Cheers, fellow obsessives.

It's going to be a long and busy ride to hell . . .

@AltheaThoon

Why would anyone go on the show if not looking fir a long term relationship? That just seems so selfish to me!

Same reason people go onto Love Island I suppose. A lot of people want exposure rather than love. I suppose being matched with someone they actually fancy is just a bonus.

I’d put it the other way actually: why would anyone looking for a committed long term relationship go on that show? First series maybe, not subsequent ones.

Yes, true VinylDetective

I'm finding it hard to keep up with the show and the thread

Find it more interesting now that the weddings are over, they were getting a bit boring.

I feel sorry for Jo, she should cut her losses and go as should Matt, neither of their partners are good for them.

I'm reserving judgement on Nasser, want to see how another few episodes play out.

I wonder what else has happened with Ryan and Alysha, it can't just be because of what she said about eating out.

Davina and Dean deserve each other, but I reckon Tracy will fight for her man and Davina will come off worse.

Great thread everyone, your comments are brilliant

Nasser reminds me of a bi married man I know too. Loves his wife to bits but he's a terrible flirt with both sexes. I'm not convinced he's 100% faithful but I sort of suspect his wife gives him her blessing. Nasser really gives off similar vibes.

And I agree Troy is a virgin. My god that 'kiss' was shocking. I cant make myself believe that he's ever done the do with another person. He's bizarre, but likeable. But I wouldn't want to date him, no sir.

Does anyone else think it is immoral to match up a woman with a guy who has had 200 partners?

In his dreams!
Does it count if he was just watching them perform in a porn video?

With the ease that he caught that sheep. I'm wondering if his 200 plus sexual partners were actually human

Flaps

I really felt sorry for Ryan when Davina said she slept with him just to see if she could fancy him.

Me too. I'm not sure we'll see the best side of Ryan in this show and thats a shame as he's probably ok. He's been paired with completely the wrong person

I don’t like Nasser at all. I think he’s putting on an act.

I think I am an old romantic at heart and want to believe Nasser and Gabrielle are made for each other.

Do you think Davina has got the wrong view of the dinner party and thought it was a human bring and buy sale? She really seemed to think it was a swapping kind of arrangement , very odd.

Am glad Carly shut her down

Alycia and Matt won’t work out, he seems to have a massive inferiority complex.

Troy is actually Jim Carrey and I claim my £5.

I want Nassar to be genuine, I love Gabrielle and would hate to see her hurt.

Davina is a witch. She’s only on for exposure but she clearly has no insight into the damage she’s doing to her reputation.

Poor Jo.

I hate to use the word skank, but Davina...

There is something about Sean, I dont know quite how to say, just something a bit....feminine? Maybe it's just me

Why woukd anyone lie was bout 200 sexual partners. It's a real turn off!

Hmm. Nassar is playing nice. Gabrielle is lovely but even with her own hair, I don't think she'd be good enough for him.

Davina is a skanky skank yes. She think she's gonna be this year's Cheryl where she can choose someone else to string along for the £200 a day plus exposure. I don't like her face at all. She's not attractive.

The lunger ( I can't remember who this one is?!) That's the sort of encounter you endure as a teenager. That poor woman!

As for the guy with 200 partners. I know people can do what they like and so they should but... I think it's disgusting and I wouldn't want to be with someone like that. And he's the one building a pillow fort? No wonder his woman is like wtf...

Troy.

I know what you mean - when I saw him I thought of a Victoria Wood sketch where she was describing an encounter and said "I haven't been so inexpertly kissed since I was 13".

He's a virgin . No problem with that, but he's embarrassed by it and wants to look like a stud.

Agreed. Pretty rank but probably not true

"Troy.

She really told him though didn't she? It was hilarious.

@BlogTheBlogger.......yes!!
That’s exactly what I thought, Sean (200 conquests my arsch! not the bar manager) really reminds me of my auntie Julie, when she had her hair streaked in the 80’s

I know you shouldn't judge these days, but if I had a partner who had slept with 200 people, he'd be my ex-partner immediately.

I know that's judgey but I know it'd never be out of my mind.

Everyone has a past. Provided someone is committed and monogamous with their partner, I think the past is just that. No one really needs to know about previous sexual partners.

That begs the question as to why he's spoken about his 200 + conquests. He should have kept his mouth shut.

I had a boyfriend once who revealed he'd slept with over 100. I was horrified. Convinced he may have given me some kind of VD. Fortunately, the Sexual Health clinic was a short walk away and I insisted on tests. I was sure he'd have aids or something. I was sick with worry.

We had been using protection but even still. He got the all clear but I was majorly put off by it.

I thought the same, why bring it up? I was sitting with DH watching MAFS and I said to him, 'if you've slept with that many, keep it to yourself, I have zero desire to know'. And then I realised that I live in blissful ignorance because I have no idea how many he's slept with and I'm happy to keep it that way. No need to discuss that stuff, let alone broadcast it on international TV. Unless you are secretly proud of it.

For the record, my DH probably hasn't slept with anywhere near that number I hope
