On to the next thread...please don't post anything on here that hasn't been shown on the telly box, or hint at there being something 'out there' on insta or the daily snail cause we'll have to report it and get it removed so as not to ruin any surprises that are around the corner, despite this season being of little surprise so far. Those that want more gossip and info will find it without guidance!
Sheldoninabsentia...but hoping for a return....

Inspired <ahem> by KwaMeMe - I present an acrostic on tonight's antics ...

Make them write their hates
And sprinkle with distrust
Read aloud that you don’t lie
Run when that bubble’s burst

Invite the newbies out for drinks
Encourage them to share
Duck when Johnathan struggles
And then compares her to a mare

Thank the lord for T&A
Flirting with their list
Instigating little cracks
Reassuring Soph she should be p*d

Shelve the Whitney nonsense
Talking like she cares
Staring all the time at Matt
Ignoring Dukas’ wares

Grin at Kwameme’s poetry
Hope Jen enjoys her vegan wine
Think C&J are rather dull
Urge Gemma to be fine

Know until Monday, for this rubbish we will pine.

<bows - exits stage left>

That's absolutely amazing. I'm gonna have to send it to my mam!

You need to be prepared to take 10 weeks off work - so yes it costs you .

It's not a legally binding marriage. It's just for show .

I'd give it a go simply cos I'm very outgoing. And single . I would imagine there are thousands of applicants though so I've applied on a whim . They aren't gonna want a 50 year old washed up cop with no life except dogs and rats !

If you could appear in something beforehand, Come Dine With Me? And/or create an instagram and post stuff that we will repost to draw attention, boil a goldfish in a kettle and have red flags coming out of your arse I'm sure they'd recruit you.

Also mention you're a mumsnetter and @MelodyPondsMum will write a poem for you to read out during every episode.

stillvicarinatutu · 23/09/2022 02:54

And that's why I won't get picked 😂

Sounds like the beginning of a good book!

😆I cannot imagine George at Rugby, he cries at the drop of a hat

Hahaha. My 2 DS regularly come home studded, with aching ribs, battered noses...George must be lying about playing rugby.

Rugby players can also have normal emotions rather than being repressed and dead on the inside.

PoseyFlump · 23/09/2022 06:12

Fair point @Simonjt

Simonjt · 23/09/2022 06:14

Jenna is so passive aggressive isn’t she, then at the lasy commitment ceremony pretending she just needed a tissue when she has stormed out to make Zoe look stupid. She says thinks for example ‘i need mutual respect’ on the couch, yet if Zoe does anything but nod silently she goes into a strop. Very very controlling behaviour.

PoseyFlump · 23/09/2022 06:18

It's difficult to say what Jenna and Zoe are tbh. I don't know anything about Zoe other than she works in construction. They did both say they are stubborn so I think there's a power struggle going on there and it's not all one sided.

But we're not seeing jack shit action and having to guess everything!!

beneathhereyes · 23/09/2022 07:27

Just catching up. I started off really liking George but omg he constantly seems like he's at risk of teetering over the edge. He takes everything so seriously and can't seem to have a conversation now without welling up with tears.

beneathhereyes · 23/09/2022 07:48

OK George and Lionel have quite similar personalities wrt insecurity and jealousy. It's not just George's heartbeats that he needs to consider, it's his wider family too. He probably still lives with his parents and the heartbeats decamp in the living room EOW.

Dave20 · 23/09/2022 08:04

I think if you go on an experiment like this it’s wrong to if you have young children. I mean if you’re looking for a husband/ wife, surely you’d want them to be devoted to you?

Yes George has his kids to consider, but that’s the reason it’s wrong to go on this in the first place. April could quite rightly feel like her needs come second.

Leaving young children to be cared for doesn’t seem right to me. Then to break down and say you miss your kids, we’ll yes that’s understandable but don’t go on a reality wedding show.

Dave20 · 23/09/2022 08:05

As for Adrian and Thomas, I reckon they’ll leave as very close friends. Don’t think they’ll stay a couple.

ihatethecold · 23/09/2022 08:10

What I don’t get is Whitney saying Duka’s best feature is his ability to make her laugh. She said he’s funny and it cracks her up!

when????

She says thinks for example ‘i need mutual respect’ on the couch, yet if Zoe does anything but nod silently she goes into a strop. Very very controlling behaviour.

I find Jenna quite moody and PA too.

All Zoe said on the couch was that she’d like her partner to be her friend as well as her partner.

Jenna’s ‘issue’ was that Zoe hadn’t discussed this with her first and was dropping ‘curve balls’???

How is just stating it’s good to be friends as well as partners dropping a curve ball?

Then instead of saying anything about it there and then on the couch, she kept quiet and then ran off after in a strop.

She’s constantly gone on about how Zoe keeps bringing up her being vegan and that Zoe ‘assumes’ Jenna will try and convert her, when she’s never said she would (never said she wouldn’t either 🤔). And yet one of her comments at one point was moaning to the camera about how Zoe still had all her own food in the fridge and insinuated that she wasn’t even prepared to try vegan food?

Iwishmynamewassheilah · 23/09/2022 08:16

I’m a bit behind. Can someone enlighten me as to whether K and K have actually DTD? (not really sure why I needed to know this really, but you get sucked in…)

Doubleraspberry · 23/09/2022 08:21

To be fair to Jenna, what Zoe also said was that she never had any really big laughs with her, which is quite hurtful to hear for the first time on that couch. It would upset me.

For the first time last night I actually saw what Whitney means about Duka; he doesn’t come across as properly putting himself into all this. It may be that this is his personality and so that’s that, but he came across as not being emotionally invested at all. Nothing he said was personal to her. I think she’s pushing and pushing at him for some sort of connection that feels real. She’s clearly not in any state to be on this show, but I think it would be frustrating to feel that the other person was giving nothing of themselves.

George is a controlling and jealous man. Insecure, my arse. I’m beginning to suspect that the ‘cheating’ he experienced might be in the eye of the beholder. April is a tedious woman (Tiny Tears is genius) but she doesn’t deserve this. Imagine if someone posted about a new boyfriend grilling them on their past and then blowing up at them after they’d googled you and found some minor inconsistency? LTB would be flying around. It says a lot that she lied actually as I imagine she was trying to avoid being quizzed on it all.

Matt and Gemma just need to stop. She looks miserable and nervous, and he clearly detests her.

Johnathan is a plank. Glad he could cope with a fat partner for medical reasons though; reassuring for any future wife.

K&K, the eternal mystery. But if some pink feathers and lube can turn a relationship around so quickly, I think Relate will be going out of business.

Youaremysunshine14 · 23/09/2022 08:39

Just catching up with last night's ep and WTAF George?! So many red flags. I understand he's been hurt, but his obsession with April's past and stalking her online "to find her date of birth" yeah, right is just grim. She should run a mile.

bibliomania · 23/09/2022 08:42

K&K - anyone else annoyed that his positive about her is that she cooks well? I know, I know, editing, but she cooks, does the washing up, gets the door while he lounges around. Ugh.

MelodyPondsMum · 23/09/2022 08:50

Usually I'd say no-one has to share about ex partners but I think it's more awkward when someone's previous relationships have been plastered all over the media and those relationships also started on reality dating shows. April also seems to be one of those people who lie as easily as breathing and don't even realise they're lying. Then get upset or annoyed when people don't trust them. Her and George are never going to work because he's black and white, and April lives in the grey.

Stressybetty · 23/09/2022 09:19

Says on George's MAFS blurb that his 2 older kids live with him and the younger 2 with his ex. So technically 2 full time heartbeats, 2 part time, not 4

HandbagsnGladrags · 23/09/2022 09:27

God, heartbeats. Makes me want to 🤮. I thought he was good looking at first but he's so spineless and needy. I'd be dumping his ass.

Maves · 23/09/2022 09:44

Yy it's now 5 heartbeats...cringe

Doubleraspberry · 23/09/2022 09:46

He’s not needy. That makes it sound like he’s weak. He’s controlling. He would be a partner that would come across as totally charming, self-deprecating, kind at a party, and then spend the whole journey home telling his partner off for looking at other men.

As for his responsibility to his kids, if he took that seriously he wouldn’t be on this programme, talking about having sex and posing naked with fruit. So spare me that heartbeat shite.

Anyfeckinusername · 23/09/2022 10:00

I love the show and love the thread about as much! Can I join in?

Duka is doing my head in now. He has absolutely nothing to say. I'm now sympathising with Whit, it would I be torture stuck with someone who is most likely just a bit thick.

I really dislike Matt. Parking Gem and all her issues ... he acts like he's there to socialise, not seeing him try and "act as a unit" - even if he isn't getting on with her, she must feel so alone - I think anyone would? - he doesn't have her back instead just mewls on with his justifications. No kindness in him. He could hold his own but be nicer. I can see why Whit is drawn to him!! Isn't she the one who wanted a brick shit house and all that?!

Thomas and Adrian for gods sake I really like these two, they are nice people!!

George - you'll all said it, errghhhh
