MAFSUK7 I closed my eyes. Drew back the curtains. To see for certain … Adrian’s coupon. Far far away - someone was gobbing off.

New one for when the old one has filled up or when Thomas stops gobbing off.

whatever is quicker.

This was all quite uncomfortable. It felt like KwaMeMe was being pressured by a box of tricks and a sexpert in the bedroom. Envy
I don't like tatts guy. There's something very controlling about him. Yy Gemma is very crude because she's insecure and her self-worth and notions of love are tied up with sex. But he seems to have done nothing to address her insecurities. He's stormed out. He's demanding she changes completely all at once whilst it's ok for him to joke a cake is like an orgasm on his face. Nah, he's a wrong'un.
I like Johnathan and Sophie but agree it feels like this series is racing through everything.

I cant help but wonder if things were reversed between KwaME & Kasia, and a male intuhmacy ixpert showed up with his suitcase of sex paraphernalia that it would be seen as very intimidating 😳

Yes it would be all kinds of wrong.

I liked Sophie and Jonathon together. She’s all giddy. Wonder how much her family would influence.

I agree re tats. He could handle it differently instead of going into a strop. Her friends and mum
are ok with her crudeness so she knows no different.

HappyPeach · 20/09/2022 04:59

I must admit I felt awkard when Tatts made the face orgasm comment after he's just pulled her up for similar. I think Jonathan will leave Sophie, it's nice now whilst they're in their bubble but he wants the simple life, he seems more grounded than her. I'm surprised she's moved along with him so quickly.

Playplayaway · 20/09/2022 06:51

The kwame/kasia scene was just hideous on all sorts of levels. I felt really uncomfortable for Kwame basically being coerced into being naked and touched by two women. No way would that happen if roles were reversed.

Gemma just can't help herself. Tats has pointed out a few times that he's uncomfortable with her crude talk. It's just not what he wants in a partner and it's a turn off for him. He wants and needs someone who is considerate of his feelings. The poor guy's mum is terminally ill and she's stressing him out behaving like a child who can't get what she wants.

Sophie is heading for heartbreak. She's definitely a lot more into Johnathan than he is into her. I think the obsession with career, money and luxuries will be too much for him and I think her family will make him feel unworthy even though he's a really lovely genuine man and a huge catch.

Is episode 14 out yet? I can't find it on All4?

MelodyPondsMum · 20/09/2022 07:26

I'm finding it odd that they keep missing the drama on the honeymoons ie April in the hot tub; Matt storming out of a meal. The entire format this time feels off.

hugefanofcheese · 20/09/2022 07:46

To be fair, Tats has said he doesn't mind the odd joke or reference to sex but with her it's constant. She did say that he was saying similar back at dinner and then went off though so who knows. It feels like major points of reference are being missed out this series.

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 20/09/2022 07:58

I think Sophie and her husband have forgotten that there are always compromises to be had and there is definitely a middle ground between manc city centre and the wilds of Yorkshire. If she is as good at her job as they want us to believe she could definitely find another position elsewhere. Same for him. But it seems like her family wouldn't accept that.

I thought Sophie worked and lived in London? But yeah, agree. You don't have to live in the city just because you work there.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 20/09/2022 08:21

I can't concentrate at all as I'm transfixed the entire episode trying to work out how Tatts does his hair,it's driving me bonkers. Maybe he doesn't want sex so it doesn't get messed up ?!

Got a weird vibe off him last night, ok for him to make sex jokes but not her? Hmmm.

Chippy doesn't look like Guy Martin he looks like Matthew Mahonahay or however you spell it!

That kaime scene was appalling.

Why do other couples get to gaze at each other and hug whereas he gets a full sex suitcase! If they did that to Whitney we'd all be outraged!

MelodyPondsMum · 20/09/2022 08:56

The more I think about the KwaMeMe situation - the more I think they need to address it and apologise for it. There's a massive difference between seduction and coercion. Giving someone a massage in public in a massage space is very different from what they did to him.
I'm really annoyed that they've behaved so badly I've ended up on KwaMeMe's side about something.

Chigg · 20/09/2022 09:19

I actually know Matt in real life and have done for a long time, I agree with PPs he's coming across pretty well on the programme but he is VERY full of himself IRL. He's very different on the show than he is in person imo.

Ffsjustltb · 20/09/2022 09:20

It didn't say if kwame had sex but if he did, I feel like he was forced. Really uncomfortable with it.

That doesn't surprise me. I don't like him. I think he has more 🚩🚩🚩than a circus tent.

TooManyMoronsHere · 20/09/2022 09:50

Whitney and Matt will get together 😏

bibliomania · 20/09/2022 10:07

This phrasing made me laugh, but I agree with the discomfort. To me, it's even worse because of the racial dimension - "Black man isn't allowed to say no to sex" has very ugly undertones.

Is there any way to watch ep 13?

@neverfade you can see it on E4 or more4 catch up if you download the app

Are you the same poster who commented on the first (or second) thread about knowing someone who comes in later in the series?

I can easily see him being full of himself.

PollyDarton1 · 20/09/2022 11:41

Oh Gemma. It's just painful to watch how much she needs validation from Matt in order to feel secure. The sexual stuff is cringe but it definitely comes from a place of insecurity and need to be desired. I actually have 🚩 about Matt a little, he's not wrong in what he's saying but the hug after the chat (as well as Gemma's real desperation at trying to find out where they stood) seemed so clinical.

Sophie is beautiful, and I love Jonathon. She seems to have relaxed a lot and is less materialistic away from it all, but time will tell whether she'd be prepared to give up some of her lifestyle when Jon is clearly a country boy at heart. I'm reasonably high up in tech and I don't live anywhere near where my company is based so totally possible especially post pandemic life to live one place and 'work' in another.

The Kasia Kwame thing was beyond cringe. Those socks 😂

Animalism · 20/09/2022 11:51

Sophie underestimated Jonathan to begin with but he's coming across as bright and emotionally intelligent with clear preferences based upon his wellbeing rather than finances or outward appearances. I can see that being quite intriguing and refreshing to her.

Agreed that eye gazing and hugs would have been far more appropriate for Kwame and Kasia than a big box of whips 'n' lube. God knows if they had sex or not but nobody should have been put in that position (literally) if they had expressed a desire to hang back for any reason. She needed to be encouraged to respect that and not take it personally, not him to speed up.

HappyPeach · 20/09/2022 12:00

Can someone enlighten me what's the funny thing about KwaME's socks? Just regular sports socks no? The fact that he kept them on?

Prinnny · 20/09/2022 12:07

I wonder if Matt feels emasculated by Gemmas strong come ones? Not guna lie it was massively grate on me and be a huge turn off.

Ah I thought Johnathan and Sophie were really cute, but agree with PP she’ll end up hurt. It’s all lovely when your in the beautiful St Lucia, but he knows it’s not got legs. She’s in the honeymoon bubble and not thinking long term, is she going to be willing to make big compromises for him? Will the family approve? It’s one of the more interesting pairs!
