Not seen a thread for this season so here it is!

Anyone else watching?
Initial thoughts?

I can't wait for Shoobie to come back in!

Ooo didn't know it was back. Will catch up:

SurpriseSparDay · 29/12/2022 08:19

It’s on my list!

But I’m a bit reluctant to begin as each season is worse than the last. I wish they could recapture whatever made the first UK & US seasons so absorbing.

Oh wow - they’ve actually managed to pick some lively, fun characters this time, rather than self obsessed dullards! Sparky, quick thinking …

Is it too soon to say I fancy the one who’s not officially playing the game?

I'm only on episode one, and getting confused between which model is which catfish.
But I like them all so far.

Xanthi is a model but posing as a pre school teacher, so technically catfishing.

No one else is catfishing as a model are they? Oh wait, 'bruno' .... is that his sister? I missed who is playing him? May need to rewatch lol!

I usually love the circle but it’s gone too far into dating show territory. A bit of flirting is fun, but we have enough dating programmes on tv, give me back my circle!

@RamonaBadwolf the first season of the American series has always been the best for me! Probably why I'm more looking forward to shooby coming back into it!

I also loved the British season 2 and 3! Shame C4 cancelled it - hopefully someone else picks it up.

I'm totally sucked back in. I like Marvin the best.

Marvin is hilarious!!

Im liking 'Jennifer' and Tom! I'm sure I've seen Tom somewhere before though..?!

Tom is a bit too good. I do find him entertaining, but he's totally a pro to keep things moving.

RamonaBadwolf · 30/12/2022 22:06

I really like Marvin!!! Tom’s voice is so familiar, but I can’t place it. I find the couple playing Jennifer incredibly annoying - #auntiejen if you label yourself as #coolaunt you probably aren’t!

SurpriseSparDay · 04/01/2023 12:30

New episodes!

Happy days …

bornonvalentines · 04/01/2023 12:31

Tom is a stand up comic who's been on tv a bit. He's on tiktok too as HonourableTom.

Is he on as himself? I think he's fab.

SurpriseSparDay · 04/01/2023 15:33

Tom’s a bit low key at the moment. Marvellous Marvin is drawing lots of attention.

RanhaThePiranha · 04/01/2023 16:45

Name change.

Watched the first of this weeks episodes! I'm so happy Shoobie is back now!
Loving Tamira too!

jay55 · 05/01/2023 16:21

I'm sad about who left after the follower task, mostly as I wanted the other person to go.

I like the new woman a lot, she's so much and the clay tits were hilarious.

I've just seen who was blocked there now. I had a feeling it would be them tbh.

Tamira is great fun! In the previews I thought she'd annoy me, but she's done the opposite lol!

RanhaThePiranha · 06/01/2023 12:41

I love Tom!!

RanhaThePiranha · 06/01/2023 20:43

I'm currently thinking Chaz is the winner for now....

jay55 · 06/01/2023 22:16

I like Chaz, and if he were playing himself I would be right behind him.
But I'm always uncomfortable when anyone catfishes as a medic of any kind.

I'd like Raven or Sam to win. Or Marvin but that's pretty impossible now.

RanhaThePiranha · 06/01/2023 22:30

All caught up. Not happy with last blocking lol. Next 4 episodes look juicy!! Come on Wednesday lol!

SurpriseSparDay · 10/01/2023 17:47

Frankly, I’m just waiting for tomorrow.

Not even the Happy Valley thread is entirely distracting me from counting down the hours …

(And it’s been so long since last Wednesday, I’ve forgotten what happened!)

SurpriseSparDay · 11/01/2023 11:29

Paris is still the loveliest person there. 😍
