This is, obviously, the proposed title for my thesis in support of my Diploma in Expertness . . .

I don't think these John + Melissa will still be together come the catchup. He's too set in his ways and won't make enough space for her in his life and they'll drift apart.

I don't know what's going on with my ability to bold things, it's all over the bloody place
You've got to put the asterisks everywhere there is a break in the text. Otherwise they just sneer at you.

!! 3 years on mumsnet and I didn't know this! Thank you

I agree Glummy.

a) I don't think he's a particularly "good guy" Hmm

b) even if he was the kindest, sweetest person in the world, if he irritates her, then they won't last five minutes in the real world and that wouldn't do either of them any favours

NPJohn and Melissa have been a bit overshadowed by others’ dramas, but I surprised myself by how much I didn’t want him to get dumped in that moment.

(I agree they won’t last).

I learned through bitter experience, Glummy - and I still frequently bollix it up.

I think, and have always thought, Troy is revolting. She did well to stick by him. I actually found him quite predatory. I hate that when they had their final date he launched himself at Ash and sulked when she said no. Also on their honeymoon, what made her say "dude you're coming on too strong" was the fact that she looked away and he grabbed her face and practically swallowed her head.

It annoys me they painted Ash to be unreasonable for being this way. And it annoys me that her sister has said she has to go for a nice guy like Ash is some over the hill desperado. She can do FAR better than Troy

GlummyMcGlummerson · 18/09/2020 20:40

God I fucking hate Troy - "you're moody even though I'm nice and you didn't wanna snog my fishy tuna breath".

Also he's a prick for saying he loved her when he didn't.

BloggersBlog · 18/09/2020 20:43

Troy's sly look behind the camera at someone when she caught him saying that she'd talked about sex, said it all to me.

His stupid agreeing with TF in everything also shows what a sneaky suck up he is to whoever he thinks is the boss. Bet he is so far up his manager's backside in his job that he is looking through the same eyes

Destinysdaughter · 18/09/2020 20:44

Troy is creepy, annoying and insincere. Yes he tried hard with Ash but I'd have been irritated to hell by Him. Still shocked he had the balls to dump her tho!

Destinysdaughter · 18/09/2020 20:45

If Sarah dumps Telv cos he won't move in with her IMMEDIATELY then she's a bloody idiot!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 18/09/2020 20:46

I think, and have always thought, Troy is revolting

I think so too - I think he's controlling, predatory and misogynistic. I always felt that he deliberately pushed he to her limit, and then when she finally lost her temper he turned round looking like a kicked puppy with big sad eyes "What have I done? I was only joking/ being nice/ trying to be romantic"

I'm glad she dumped him - I was worried that she wouldn't - especially after his (rather nasty, I thought) letter to her.

I don't think expected her to reciprocate in kind though . . . in fact, I wondered if she added the last bit in the light of his decision, and she had originally intended to stay with him?

Yes, it annoyed me that he got annoyed because she was better at tennis. He's a Dean in Tim-Nice-But-Dim clothing
GlummyMcGlummerson · 18/09/2020 20:54

Ooh I'm pleased that Telv is standing up to Sarah a little bit!

bibliomania · 18/09/2020 20:57

Troy dumped her because she's not doe-eyed about his wondrousness. (Autocorrect wanted that to be his wontons).

GlummyMcGlummerson · 18/09/2020 20:58

Awwww yay!!

I'm so happy with these vow renewal outcomes.

Bring on the reunion!! How many episodes left??

riotlady · 18/09/2020 21:00

I'm pumped to have Davina back, she plays the villain so well

SchadenfreudePersonified · 18/09/2020 21:00

Oh - yes! Grin

I'm with autocorrect on this one.

I think he is really proud of his wontons . . .

No, there’s a dinner party on Monday and a “let’s watch some footage together” follow-up on Tuesday.
