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….

Do you think there are people that applied for this series, feeling very releived that they were not selected to be part of this?

Or even some who think that they and any one of the contestants, could have been a great match ?

MelodyPondsMum · 06/09/2022 14:18

Has Kwame got a podcast? 🙄 He mentioned that more than anything else. He seems to be there for advertising.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 06/09/2022 14:36

I think KwaMe has a podcast, yes.

I’m nigh on fucking certain he has an attitude problem.

I noticed on the promotional photo there are 16 people,so eight couples.

So presumably we get the initial 6 couples and 2 more join mid season or thereabouts

We've got 8 couples already.

I was going to say the same! Without meaning to sound unkind, was a fairly recent dead relative a pre-requisite for application this year?

Reminds me of a poor kid in Below Deck Down Under who'd lost both his parents (awful) but my GOD did he milk the shit out of it all the live long day.

I said to DH that when they film the VTs in their first interviews are they not allowed to leave until they’ve cried about something?

What's with the nasty 'American tan' scraggy tights around the top of her dress?!

For someone who designs wedding dresses for a living I was very surprised to see her wearing what was essentially a wedding dress sewn onto a t-shirt which wasn’t as invisible as it should have been and had a wonky hem line

I was pondering this too. That dress was very poorly fitted. It'd have been better to have a more secure bodice and cut the tan stuff off completely. It made me think of Nora Batty.

Possibly unpopular opinion but I kind of get where whitney is coming from a bit- Duka hasn't really shown much of his personality/ opinions and the way he just agrees and goes along with stuff would annoy me too. That said she definitely does have issues and hasn't come on the show with an open mind and open heart.

I think I agree with this. Duka’s ultra agreeable-ness is getting on my wick. Like just agreeing instantly to becoming a vegan because Whitney is. No back bone is v unattractive

DasAlteLeid · 06/09/2022 17:49

Whitney’s posh accent is as fake as her melons. Why did everyone have their boobs out at the hen do?? Kasia might as well have been topless!

Richie has the obligatory granny head hairdo that all 50yr old ex-rockers have to have, once they’ve finally given up the elbow-length mullet or cascading curls. See various members of Bon Jovi and Ronnie Wood. It’s like they can’t quite bear to let it all go so they shape it in to a Nan do instead.

His missus seems totally away with the fairies/onion rings, lovely lady though and seems like she’s just a bit too spacey for a proper relationship.

Jess seemed nice at first (despite the duck lips) but turned out to be a vile gold digger with a mum to match. Poor PeeJay or PeeJ or PJaaaay or whatever it is. He seemed ok actually. At least he’s putting in the hard yards (heh, smut).

April and George are a car crash waiting to happen. If he hasn’t been cheated on in the past I’m Paul C. Brunson. Trust issues up the yin yang. She’s in it for the fame and also, it annoys me when blokes just think with their dicks. She seems pretty bland actually but men assume a great personality because she’s slim and has nice hair 🤷

The two youngsters in love (Chan and Jordan?) are lovely to watch. Honestly rooting for those kids. She’s a sweetheart in particular. Duka is hot and I can even forgive that terrible rude boy accent as he was so clearly bullied when he came over from FY. He deserves way better than Twitney but he’s probably here for the fame too I guess?!

Zoe and Jenna are totally lust-goggled up right now, it won’t last long but I think they’ll have fun. So the opposite of marriage really 😆

Thomas has a face like a rubber mask and the personality of a dead-eyed shark so far. Poor Adrian is just a thoroughly nice guy who even took the H from Steps comment with good grace. I hate bullies who start crying when someone points out their ‘vulnerabilities’, it’s just feeding in to their inevitable narcissism and keeping the drama and attention on them. Don’t feed the troll Adrian!

MelodyPondsMum · 06/09/2022 17:53

I wonder if Duka is this season's Love Is Blind Mark ie seems super sweet, casts his partner as evil but it turns out he's snogged and cheated on everyone.

PoseyFlump · 06/09/2022 19:06

@MelodyPondsMum you could be right with the 'off screen, on screen' persona but Twitney doesn't need any help to make her look evil 👿

hugefanofcheese · 06/09/2022 19:29

Kwame's friend Yinka seems a bit more reasonable at least, maybe he can talk a bit of sense into him!

PoseyFlump · 06/09/2022 19:36

All of their friends seemed pretty okay. Apart from Adrian's ... she seemed total psycho! It makes me question how nice Adrian really is if he chooses to spend time with that Bunny Boiler.

DasAlteLeid · 06/09/2022 19:52

I think Adrian’s friend was edited to fuck though/told to cause ructions by the production team. Even if she is really a knob, she clearly cares about Adrian loads so he must be a fairly worthwhile person to inspire such loyalty 🤔

DasAlteLeid · 06/09/2022 19:53

Also Kwame is a knob for sure and totally on the show for exposure for his lame podcast.

A580Hojas · 06/09/2022 20:13

Of course she was. She didn't fire off all those questions over the course of a minute or less as we saw. But even if it was over the course of the whole dinner, it probably was a bit much. I talked about this with DH who works in the edit suite with TV editors every day and he has a more sensible reaction to this sort of stuff generally than me.

But ... I still do think that there is SO MUCH manipulative editing in this show especially around the ad breaks and the next episode trailers (George and his suitcase and flounces etc) and sometimes the absolute villains are set up to be even more villainous than they actually are. But I'll make an exception to that rule for Nikita because she was shouting on literally every single appearance.

Also, I'm not sure it's possible to edit out 1,000 eye rolls from Whitney.

TitsInAbsentia · 06/09/2022 20:18

I'm still trying to catch up. Was Unveiled worth watching?

Rummikub · 06/09/2022 20:49

Oy was alright. Like the Big brother shows. Live audience and had some family members in; Thomas’ mum and Jess mum.

I so could do Iceland.

And their cream donuts.

Zoe is being so ignorant. Also, if you are going to eat meat, you need to know how it gets to your sodding plate. And yes, it does come from dead animals.
