Anyone else looking forward to the new episodes of First Dates on tonight?
It's one of the programs I always find myself watching, I really enjoy the banter between the staff too.

They were, it was matches like that that keep me watching.

On last night's programme, what was the job of the man who worked in professional golf? Rewound it multiple times but still didn't catch it.

I don't understand why Imi asked those questions if there was a chance she wouldn't like the answer!

He says he works for the European golf tour He said when the golfers play they use a book and he makes them for every tour

No idea what this book is though and why he has to travel so much for a book!!

I used to love this programme in the early days but it's totally jumped the shark now.

Agree with PP it's become really sleazy and tacky. I didn't enjoy listening to the guy who was into BDSM. Keep it to yourself,we don't need to know about what you get off on sexually during your First Date! FFS.

The newly advertised Teen First Dates does not appeal at all. It's an awkward age and teens are already having to grow up so fast. Maybe I'm not their target audience!

I record First Dates because I can't bear sitting through the interminable ad breaks (which are on All4 too and can't be skipped, at least with my set-up). Cuts the time needed to watch, down by a good 15 mins I'd say!

Thanks purple Smile

@Walkacrossthesand I watched it on 4od and they hardly showed any adverts. Some breaks they didn't show any
I don't know why they decide to do that sometimes and sometimes don't

I've seen the strongman somewhere before?

Poor Portuguese guy having to repeat everything Grin

JaneJeffer · 23/02/2021 22:59

Merlin being very Merlinesque Grin

Woodlandbelle · 23/02/2021 23:03

Very shocked strongman didn't want to have another date with midwife??

JaneJeffer · 23/02/2021 23:03

Aww some lovely couples tonight. Luke and David are perfect together. They even had matching outfits.

JaneJeffer · 23/02/2021 23:05

He just didn't fancy her @Woodlandbelle. A shame because they got in well.

JaneJeffer · 23/02/2021 23:05

On!

Woodlandbelle · 23/02/2021 23:06

Ah yeah.. Wasnt she just lovely though. So was he. I suppose you can't see on TV how true the spark or vibe is

Woodlandbelle · 23/02/2021 23:07

Like and David were just adorable

lollipoprainbow · 23/02/2021 23:07

@JaneJeffer yes me too it's bugging me where I recognise him from !

theliverpoolone · 23/02/2021 23:08

I think strongman was scared off by her wanting a child pretty much immediately, lovely as she was.

lollipoprainbow · 23/02/2021 23:09

@Woodlandbelle poor woman, what a slap in the face he seemed quite flirty with her. Why do men do that !

JaneJeffer · 23/02/2021 23:10

I feel like it could have been Come Dine With Me or something like that.

Woodlandbelle · 23/02/2021 23:12

I honestly thought they got on so wellis it the surrogacy thing that got to him?

Hueandcry · 23/02/2021 23:12

I didnt think so. I sussed he wasn't as keen on her as she was on him. The young couple were too cute

I’m not. She scared him off with all that talk of having babies.
Woodlandbelle · 24/02/2021 08:14

Yeah she did talk about them a lot but I really liked her. She is a widwife and such a good person. Hope she gets to have the chance herself.

TheBaroucheBox · 24/02/2021 22:02

The midwife and strongman was disappointing but she seemed to lack confidence which made her look socially awkward, I thought. I got the impression that seemed to put him off as well. I hope she finds someone too, she seemed to be a lovely person. I dont think strongman will have any trouble finding someone though, he was also quite nice.
