youd wonder why people who were really specific with their tastes would even apply.
Like that woman a couple of series ago who only wanted a polynesian islander.

I feel sorry for Virgin 29 this series as he has said if it doesnt work out it will crush him. No pressure there

SmidgenofaPigeon · 09/01/2021 15:29

I’m not sure about the virgin one, on the face of it he’s sweet but I think it’ll be exhausting for her to be building him up and reassuring him all the time. I feel like it’ll be a lot of give from her that he won’t be capable of giving back.

Italiangreyhound · 09/01/2021 16:50

Sorry for my confusion, Sean/Susan/Aleni/Simon/Jesse/Michelle & Sharon (twins) /Nick and Cheryl etc are season 4, September 2016.

Sarah and Telv, Dean, Tracey and Davina etc was Season 5, January 2018.

I couldn't remember who was who!!

I agree about the pressure! Also.... has he not seen previous series? 😂 Does he not realise the odds of it working out long term are not great based on the track record!

I do like him but I find it somehow unbelievable that if he is as he is being presented that he would apply to be on this show....

Ugh Deb, she was AWFUL!

Trailer for next week looks interesting!

TitsInAbsentia · 09/01/2021 18:48

Jules and Cam - I have high hopes but as per previous comment hope it's not an early crash and burn like we've seen before. The conversation about children seemed a bit awkward and I wasn't convinced he actually did want children.

There is absolutely nothing redeeming about insta-jess. I don't think there was anything wrong with his question as such, and it was pretty telling that she couldn't even fake an answer about finding her soul mate. Has she not seen the programme? Does she not know to get people on side and further her followers/career it helps to be a bit likeable?

Is Ning's (now to be known as NMC-Ning....I dislike a paralysed face) did a poor job of veiling her horror with humour, she was downright rude. I am expecting lots of whining about missing her kids (agree with others, not sure anyone should be bringing under 16s to this show). Plus she mentioned finding herself a couple of times, chicken this is NOT the way to find yourself! She's just going along with this for a bit of a journey judging from the 'pash' in the pool.

Please can I have Heidi's mane of hair?
Thought Mike was cute until he started talking about the broken hearts Envy

"MAFSA seems to just throw the candidates photos up and see where they land, and hope it works." My theory really icelollycraving is that they choose the most interesting diverse people they can find and then try and match those from within the selected people. I don't really think they do that but I think that is how it appears!

If having a dark haired woman was important to Sam, why did they not match him with a dark haired women who has asked for a mustle-tats-dark-hairded man! There must have been a few 20 something ladies asking for that!!

One thing I have noticed about 'First Dates' on channel 4 is that they always get people quite local! they also always seem to tick each othersboxes looks wise!

Diddy "Does he not realise the odds of it working out long term are not great based on the track record!"

Do you know how many of the previous couples from MAFSA are still together? Be careful if you google, no spoilers for this seasons!

PS I know the answer!

TitsInAbsentia "Jules and Cam - The conversation about children seemed a bit awkward and I wasn't convinced he actually did want children."

Yes, I felt that. But at the start he was very much saying yes to kids I thought!

"There is absolutely nothing redeeming about insta-jess." Actually I quite like her, and she is stunning. I wonder if her charms can win over farm boy.

I have a theory......

The ones who obviously are only their for the likes - they pair with someone who is a bad match on purpose. So the resulting fireworks make good tv.

So definitely Jess and farmer - and Sam and Lizzie

What do you think?

Diddlysquatty · 09/01/2021 20:36

@Italiangreyhound no I definitely won’t google!
I don’t really... only got itl it last series but I think overall it must be in the very low numbers!

ZigZaggyZoo · 09/01/2021 21:18

Is it none?!
Telv and Sarah were my dead cert but that seemed to end pretty badly.
Really hoping Cam and Jules go the distance! And Heidi finds someone she deserves.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 09/01/2021 22:03

I looked it up, and the number of couples still together from season one to five is.... one! Erin and Bryce from season 2. Didn't watch that one but good for them.

Dunno how they can be ixperts with that kind of fail rate.

Italiangreyhound · 09/01/2021 22:05

I genuinely do not know for this series, I only know for series 1-5. ZigZaggyZoo and Diddlysquatty Message me and I will tell you if interested.

OP posts:
Italiangreyhound · 09/01/2021 22:07

Ha ha, kwiksavenofrillsusername just seen you replied! Erin and Bryce, yes. That couple I really did not think would go the distance. I remember watching it a few years ago.

Destinysdaughter · 09/01/2021 22:12

I agree that on First Dates it's surprising how often they seem to match people who, on paper at least, are right for each other. On this, their decisions often seem bonkers, even contrary. And then the ixperts have the nerve to say they were matched due to science! Bet it's just the bloody producers...

Destinysdaughter · 09/01/2021 22:15

I'm also SO GLAD that this is on right now, just like the first lockdown, it gives me something to look forward every day and great escapism. And of course the great chat on here with you lovely lot! Smile

They should have put Sam and Jess together, then they could have pissed each other off trying to outdo each other and would have stayed the whole series just for the exposure 🤷‍♀️
happinessischocolate · 09/01/2021 23:04

Oh just seen a trailer for the group meal 😂 looks so good, can't wait 😁😁😁

Diddlysquatty · 09/01/2021 23:11

😂 one lasting couple so far! Wow!
Proves my point then that be the “29 yr old virgin” is not being entirely sensible to say it would ‘break him’ or devastate him (or whatever words he used) if this doesn’t work out. Surely in reality you’d be pragmatic and hope for the best but know that it’s a long shot! At least I suppose that even if things don’t work out on the show... at least he either won’t be a virgin anymore, or won’t have to have that potentially awkward chat with any future girlfriends since they’ll already know 🤷‍♀️

Italiangreyhound · 09/01/2021 23:29

happiness "They should have put Sam and Jess together" I really thought they should have, until he said he likes brunettes!

happinessischocolate · 10/01/2021 08:08

@Italiangreyhound

But I don't think they'd be a good match I just think it would stop them wasting anyone else time. 😁 they're both there for the exposure, just let them get on with posting pouty selfies together. Plus they both think they're soo great that it would be fun to see them cope with someone else as superficial as they are.

Italiangreyhound · 10/01/2021 09:27

I must admit Jess is one of my favourites I think she 's not all superficial but thus programme has taught me I am a terrible judge of character!!! I liked Davina in season 5!!!!
