Be still my gnarly black heart. Love fest ‘coming soon’.

Get your pouts ready for the ‘gram and your flags at the ready 🇬🇧

I forgot to apply. But no doubt that will be a relief for the Producers.

There ain’t enough satin in the world to cover this harris.

And the veil could never hide my face well enough to stop my groom doing a Julia Roberts.

Maybe next time….

I thought Thomas was a judgemental prat who likes to insult and criticise others under the guise of humour but wouldn't like the same treatment in return.

Abso bloody lutely this. And there's far too much of it about these days <old bastard alert> but it's true to say that there's so much self indulgence (hence the OTT whining over dead relatives) teamed with the vanity of the insta generation. Add in a bit of insecurity and the ability to decide you're allowed to behave as badly as ypu like under the caveat of "I know I'm a handful" or "I say it like it is" All of course completely encouraged and provoked by the shows producers.

The sad fact is that the vanity / insecurity issue is a doubled edged sword as they are all desperate for attention and love. Yet push it away or are entirely against having an open mind and in fact all mostly judgemental bellends. Such strict criteria for a partner pops up every year. The reason I ditched OLD sharpish.

I know it's not a popular thing to say, but resilience has been lost which has resulted in a bastardised blend of fragility and aggression. A form of defence I suppose, but gone unchecked makes for some ugly personalities.

That said, I do hope a couple of them end up happy anyway. Or at the very least, learn something aboot themselves.

I do agree with this, especially the first paragraph. Thomas is fine as Adrian isn't going to tell him he looks like a Ronsealed blow up doll. I find myself wondering how he does the job he does but is so careless with people's feelings.

If anything happened to DH, I would be very happy to stay single for the rest of my life rather than deal with the insecurities out there.

hugefanofcheese · 31/08/2022 15:42

Oooffff. Thomas I agree seems like one who can dish it out 'banter' but not take it. Point made, Adrian's not your usual type. Why go on and on knowing he'll see this some day?

I reckon April had a massage at the hotel and 4kids said that as a joke but it's been edited to look serious for the dramz.

Chanita seems an utter sweetheart and the guy seems nice. I cried at them.

I took Whitney's point not wanting to pertain to love in the vows when they'd just met as it wasn't sincere but she could have been a lot more gracious in front of everyone.

Rummikub · 31/08/2022 16:43

Thomas is awful as is Adrian’s friend Katie. Looks like she’s chewing a wasp.

Thomas’s mum is lovely. He works in mental health?? I hope he’s not so judgey in that role.

marmiteadict · 31/08/2022 16:47

Do we think we'll have the honesty box questions which will reveal April has cheated previously on a partner which freaks George out. Ex wife was unfaithful ? Hence a trigger?

Either that or she's an impressively fast worker

QueSyrahSyrah · 31/08/2022 16:50

I've just stumbled across a spoiler and OH. MY. GOD.

I think she really did cheat on him, and I think it's a self-destructive behaviour because she's not happy about the four kids situation. Looking forward to finding out later.

Just had to look the spoiler up.

Why am I so wrong about well matched couples?

At this rate I may well be signed up as an ixpert for next season.

Just doing a public service Wink Spoilers are out there, beware. No details will be shared on this thread though.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 31/08/2022 18:18

I will endeavour to avoid the buggers syrah

They shouldn’t be allowed to spoil things until after the episode has been shown - the feckers!

JellyBeanFactory · 31/08/2022 18:22

Absolutely agree @SheldonesqueTheBstard

I don't actively look for spoilers but they pop up on my Google newsfeed Hmm

mrstea301 · 31/08/2022 18:23

Just catching up - love Chanita and Jordan (?), hate Whitney, think April will run for hills! Thomas is annoying, but I actually really respect that he turned round to Katie and was like "I'm trying to get to know Adrian here, stop with the interrogation!" And he was very straightforward to Adrian about what he thought as well. He definitely wouldn't be able to handle the same feedback, but I don't think Adrian will be getting any shocks when he watches it back.

QueSyrahSyrah · 31/08/2022 18:24

I quite agree, there I was minding my own business reading about Leonardo Dicaprio's romantic history and BOOM : Spoiler in the side bar Hmm

Mine popped up on that spread of news stories that appears when you open a new internet tab. Once a spoiler was mentioned, I should have just reused existing tabs as spoilers always lurk on there. It's how I found out that Bryce and Melissa had had twins - gits.

Nogaxeh · 31/08/2022 18:54

If I was in charge there would be harsh punishments for spoilers. Bring back the stocks!

tellyiscrap · 31/08/2022 19:43

I'm now searching for spoilers 😂 but it's all a big con .. meaty heading then all how could , did she , was he ? With nothing .. I feel left out 🤭

Prinnny · 31/08/2022 19:43

Is the spoiler the article on the daily Mail about tonight’s show? It was clear on the preview last night that she’d cheated but bloody hells bells 🙈

PutinIsAWarCriminal · 31/08/2022 19:43

@WishDragon & @tellyiscrap Ollie London? I can't unsee it now 🤣🤣

tellyiscrap · 31/08/2022 19:45

@PutinIsAWarCriminal Yes that's him! They could be twins !!!

emilyjeff · 31/08/2022 20:03

So pleased to find this thread!
Had told myself I wasn't going to watch this year but I watched the catch up episode which kind of introduced this years contestants, and oops I was in!
Nothing much really to add at the min, think Whitney is horrible, kind of similar to Nikita I think, very defensive but comes across as rude/ aggressive, she just does it in a classier manner.
Feel quite pleased that there's at least a few contestants this year who seem to have applied for the right reasons rather than just being fame hungry. Looking forward to tonight's episode 😀

Egghead68 · 31/08/2022 20:18

Do we think Luke Dawson (or one of the others from last year) is going to come back as one of the grooms?
