I’d completely forgot who Jaime and Chris were Blush

Think this series has been pretty boring, despite the unstable cast, missed the home stays and nights out!

OK. Fair warning, scroll past this post if you don't want to know.


Chris, who now has a book cover for a novel and a charity calendar out, was a participant on the show and his 'match' dropped out. Jamie was approached via her Instagram by a producer who asked if she was single and happy to participate with only 3 days notice. Living in Sydney she could join at short notice, work agreed and she was feeling left out because her friends were all moving to different life stages. Apparently she numbers ex reality show contestants among her friends and they feature on her page, so the producers had been trawling social media to find someone suitable to join the show rather than the ixperts matching couples they thought would be well suited.

She said a lot of her comments were taken out of context e.g. the Queensland haircut business. She said he referred to it as that, she'd never heard of it before and that she didn't belittle him over his dyslexia, which even production were unaware of. She has dated all kinds of men from different backgrounds.

During their time, she alleged Chris displayed anger issues which made her feel unsafe and it was revealed he was on bail for various charges. The charges are reported in the Daily Mail if you keep scrolling down

She also said it was made to look as though she was awful to him and forced him to end their relationship, but this was not the case. The interviewer said all they discussed was very serious and had she considered suing the tv company. She said she was considering it, but I don't think anything came of it.

Jamie broke the NDA she'd signed to do the podcast, but I haven't seen any action resulting from that either.

Like I said before, that's just one side of the story and I haven't seen anything from Chris either, other than what the paper reports about him saying he's made mistakes .

Benjispruce5 · 01/11/2021 18:20

I think so too and I hate spoilers . I can’t even remembered who Chris and Jaimie are?

Benjispruce5 · 01/11/2021 18:23

Interesting. Personally, I think it’s awful that there aren’t separate bed available right from the start. Who wants to share a bed with a stranger?

meadowbleu · 01/11/2021 19:13

@Benjispruce5 Chris and Jaimie came in late and left early. Personally it looks like it was all set up for him to get some modelling type work as his appearance caused a bit of a sensation. If it all happened as she described, it looks like she just played a part to facilitate it.

I think separate rooms should be a given and then they could choose whether to use them or not. Some of these matches, they wouldn't have given each other a second look if they saw each other in a bar. In one respect that's kind of the point, but it really doesn't seem like there's much thought given to the actual people compared to the dynamic they'll provide for the programme.

IDK how much they misrepresent people to us either. Door to door sales? never had a boyfriend? personal trainer? Quite a bit seems suspect.

bonkersbirdie · 01/11/2021 19:18

With the whole situation with quarantine hotels in Australia (thinking about when they had the tennis and the footage of the players practising agains the wall of their rooms) I could well believe there not being any spare hotel rooms. But absolutely there should be an alternative option other than sleeping in bed with a complete stranger.

The bit where he shouted at Jaime and then stormed off sounded like he was reciting lines. I said to my husband at the time I wouldn't be suprised of they were actors.

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:31

I’m half and half on the claims made by Jaime. I expect some of it is true, I’d be uncomfortable staying in a bed with a clearly angry man (whatever the reason behind his anger) but possibly some is to save face as she came off so badly? Who knows.

I’m actually watching live tonight, this is exciting 😂

I never thought he looked particularly angry?! Frustrated, maybe. Whereas she was just a bit of a princess.
Sunbird24 · 01/11/2021 19:34

Evening! Made it back from work on time, just…

supercritter · 01/11/2021 19:36

Was it here that someone mentioned Unreal on prime? I've been watching it and even though it's a drama about a drama you get the gist of the sort of crap the producers pull, to real people for our entertainment Confused

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:40

No, well quite @sunshinelover69 I didn’t notice anger until perhaps when he stomped out, but he left after that so 🤷🏼‍♀️ we don’t see everything of course but on that basis, can only speak as we find.

Bryce ‘she doesn’t deserve to go through that’… then don’t be a cunt 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:45

Booka is very strange sometimes in the way she speaks, like she doesn’t even really believe what she’s saying. It’s a bit.. false.

candlewhickgreen · 01/11/2021 19:47

At least Brett apologised. He needed to after the letter.

I think she’s acting for the cameras.
dapsnotplimsolls · 01/11/2021 19:50

Brett apologises, Booka still has a face on her.

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 01/11/2021 19:51

I don't believe Jamie tbh. I think you can read people by the footage that's been left in and well, she comes across as she comes across and he comes across as he comes across.

And its not good for her. She's the one that took the piss out of the way he speaks, she's the one who made him out to be unhygienic, etc.

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:51

Yes I expect you’re right. Shame as I had high hopes for them at the start.

Fuck sake, what is Belinda wearing now?! 😂

Disappointing that Johnny is getting in there with the gruesome twosome that is Bryce and Jason.

dapsnotplimsolls · 01/11/2021 19:52

It'll be interesting to see if Bec and Jake stay.

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 01/11/2021 19:53

@meadowbleu I have my own thoughts about her. I'm not at all sure she's quite as she seems.

What do you think?

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:53

@dapsnotplimsolls

It'll be interesting to see if Bec and Jake stay.
Yea, am feeling increasingly confused by the actual nature of their relationship. It seems so strange that they’re still here now tbh.
Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 19:57

Liam is a proper bellend 🤦🏼‍♀️

TitsInAbsentia · 01/11/2021 20:01

So from what Bryce was saying in that lads chat it sounds more like he's going to put leave as a two finger salute to everyone else, like saying it in a "I'll have to go because they're bullying me" kind of way. I don't buy the I can't put her through it thing. Total attention whore. I'm going to look like a proper dick if he doesn't write leave now!!

dapsnotplimsolls · 01/11/2021 20:02

Liam is nearing Bryce levels of twattery.

Benjispruce5 · 01/11/2021 20:06

Brett’s apology took too long. I think Booka feels like, why did you put me through all that last night?
Johnny that’s so crass! Feel. Bit disappointed that he that as she’s said beforehand she’s shy about that.
