Episode 25 and the commitment ceremony. Holy Moly Guacamole! I loved the experts' reaction. Great/horrible work by the producers!
In order of appearance...
Dion In looks Dion reminds me of Nadia who won Big Brother (I had to google her name). He's been stitched up like a kipper by the programme and, I think, handled himself well.
Mitch & Ella I just don't buy him at all. I don't know if he's playing games or has some barriers up (probably a bit of both) but I think he's the least authentic on there. Ella's alright, she seems a good person. I wish she had more self esteem. She's been a good friend to Dom whilst not joined in with the mean girl behaviour.
Brent & Tamara Despite the flamboyant dress sense, he's the most my type I think. He's coming across as sulky now, but I can see why he's run out of patience. Tamara should have left ages ago; she just doesn't fancy him. I don't buy her wide-eyed, open-mouthed "shock". The lights are on but is anyone home? I feel like telling her, "use your words".
Selina and Cody I wasn't keen on the lacy black underwear look, but Selina deserves someone who really fancies her. And I still don't like the Lord Flashheart look.
Al and Sam I agree with PP. The immaturity crosses the line to disrespect. I don't know how she sat through the poem. I'd have walked off if a grown man started reading that out to me. Poor Sam, I can see why she has run out of patience. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Al's "stay" cracked me up. He's just in it for the lols.
Jack and Domenica This is a really bad match. Real difference in energy levels, sex drive etc. Dominica is too loud and confrontational. She has sought out drama and seems to revel in it. But she is also good at calling out bullshit and she is willing to own and explore her insecurities and vulnerabilities.
Kate and Matt. Took me ages to figure out who she reminds me of. Donna Moss. Another terribly bad match. His "handsy" behaviour is not ok. He has the hind of a rhinoceros. Its been funny watching the disconnect between them, but now it just feels bad and sad.
I thought he came across well today though. He's taken responsibility. I think they'll both find someone quickly.
Olivia & Jackson Wow. Amazing how someone's behaviour affects someone's appearance. For me she's gone from being the most beautiful to the least, literally. I wonder what her family and friends make of it all.
You can hear the alarm bells ringing in his head from here. I think he'll stay with her though, due to the love birds stage. He shouldn't.
Daniel & Carolina He's a slimy toad. She's awful. Like pantomime awful. She reminds me of the worst of year 9 girls' behaviour. (Both of their Instagram accounts have no comments on at the mo. Her posts are as horrible as her behaviour in the programme).
Also, "intrusive" is an understatement when it comes to the background music. All-in-all I've welcomed the distraction from IRL events.
