Thumbface and the Numbfaces - Have you sneak-peeked? "Just the one, I can resist, I am strong.” NO! DON'T LOOK, ETHEL! Too late . . . 10 hours later your eyelids are begging for mercy

Thanks to MissMarplesHandbag for the "Just the one . . . "inspiration for the thread title, and to whichever wonderful soul suggested "The Numbfaces" as a description for his harem.

@inappropriateraspberry

Troy is full of empty platitudes. It's like everything he says is a cliche that someone else has said before. I think he does mean well, but struggles to show his true feelings, and he is VERY vain!! I think Ashley is whiney but I think I'd be getting frustrated - it's like everything she says to him just goes over his head and he doesn't really listen to her. He just spouts something back to her whilst looking at his reflection.
He’s like one of those sex bots programmed with a range of responses. Instead of ‘give it to me big boy’ he drones ‘I have feelings for you’. When he was trying to make small talk at the wedding his stock response ‘ was you/your wife/your daughter are very beautiful‘. And when he’s confronted with an comment his algorithms can’t match to a response he gives that annoying laugh.

I think Troy doesn’t mean any harm but he would drive me nuts.

ExtraPaddingForFallingOver · 26/08/2020 13:44

Not that I could put up with him, but I do feel for Troy. Just because he’s a little unusual, possibly on the spectrum, it doesn’t mean Ashley is allowed to push him around and mock him.
Thankfully they’ll never have a proper relationship, we don’t need a crystal ball to see Ashley running for the hills pretty soon.

I’d hate to be on a long haul flight with Ashley’s voice saying ‘Chicken or Beef? up and down the aisles, headphones a must!!

YettaTessieMarmelstein · 26/08/2020 14:07

Troy is harmless but would drive me crazy. I keep thinking about him at the wedding saying he wanted to do more during the kissing! Haha
I quite like Ashley but her patience has run out I think.

It's like Troy thinks his life is The Truman Show
Yes that's where I've seen Troy before on The Truman Show. Grin

I actually feel a bit sorry for both Troy and Ashley. They just don't get each other, not one bit!

At first, it was amusing but not anymore. Troy clearly annoys the hell out of Ashley and I can see why but she's not really being very nice to him. Not on the same scale as others on there though DaviNA/DeaNo and Old Sean

I also feel for Carly, who comes across very well indeed.

And yes, why no mention of Mat and Aycia?

Egghead68 · 26/08/2020 14:10

I think Ashley could be a lot nicer to Troy. Asking him to have his hair cut off and then stripping was ridiculous.

Poor Carly. She has been very dignified. I don’t understand why Justin is so completely uninterested.

I think Justin wants a brainless sexbot Egghead.

Carly is attractive, independent, ambitious and highly intelligent . . .

. . . such women are terrifying to the likes of him.

Justin's plan is to retire in 4 years but I'm not sure whether a person such as him could actually happily retire so young. How would he manage not doing business all the time? It's all he knows how to do well.

Does anyone see a touch of Stacey Dooley about Ashley?...

He will never retire - he's a micromanaging t*sspot. He wouldn't be able to rest.

Yes you're right!!
Sertchgi123 · 26/08/2020 17:44

Definitely Stacey Dooley!

LunchBoxPolice · 26/08/2020 18:56

Imagine if Troy and Ashley had kids. Imagine their teeth. Crikey.

Eaumyword · 26/08/2020 18:58

Just putting in a bit of time cleaning until the big one tonight! I LOVE the 'commitment ceremonies'!
I'm now wondering if Dean-NO will do an about turn and keep Tracey, or if he'll dump her and ask for Davina. Trouble with a man like that is you could literally never trust him. He'd be the sort to up duff you and shag someone when you're all vulnerable immediately post birth. Then tell you it's your fault because you 'let yourself go'.
If I had to choose between dating him and eating a pig testicle, I'd definitely eat the testicle and I'm funny about food.Envy

happinessischocolate · 26/08/2020 19:05

As much as I dislike DeaNO and DaviNO I actually don't blame them for what they're doing.

I don't think there's 1 good match amongst all the couples, what is the incentive to stay with the person you've been matched with when you can clearly see that pretty much all the matches are bad.

DeaNO and DaviNO should have been matched from the start, they are vain arseholes and well suited to each other, but wouldn't have been happy with the match so there would have been drama anyway, without this manufacturered "affair" The girl that's just left because of the alkie should have been matched with Ryan and Tracey should be with the rich guy.

I'd even rather eat it raw. (I'm not remotely funny abut food Grin)

Oh DeanO it's a tangled web you weave.

Pass the pig testicle please.

Destinysdaughter · 26/08/2020 19:39

I really don't understand Dean's change of heart all of a sudden! What's changed overnight...?

Eaumyword · 26/08/2020 19:42

Star The power of the foof Star

Inmybackyard · 26/08/2020 19:43

I give in, I need to join in!

DeaNO and DaviNA have reached levels of psychopathic behaviour that surely exceed anything the producers could coax them towards. Davina’s bonding with Tracy at the dinner was off the charts toxic and now we have Dean changing his mind. Confused

Carly is annoying me. Why isn’t she writing Justin off as a dead loss already?

ClaudiaAndTheCauldron · 26/08/2020 19:43

@Destinysdaughter

He and Tracey got jiggly last night and now he's decided he quite likes her.

Please pass the pig's testicles

NowYouListenToMeFella · 26/08/2020 19:50

Inmybackyard I would guess the money could be a consideration.

Eaumyword foof power indeed. I love the word foof not used at all in my neck of the woods.

rainbowlou · 26/08/2020 19:53

I think Dean is happy that Tracey has embraced his teeny pecker, he doesn’t want to risk flashing it at Davina.
