No, let’s not see what Josh will bring for Mel - let’s see what Mel will bring for Josh!

sweetcornfeta · 16/03/2023 20:57

Her emotional intelligence is severely lacking

Sunbird24 · 16/03/2023 20:50

I missed what she said that made him so angry as I had to nip upstairs

Sex sex and more sex 🤷‍♀️

She doesn't talk about anything else

Callmejudith · 16/03/2023 20:58

Loving Josh!

Sunbird24 · 16/03/2023 20:58

@happinessischocolate i wondered if there was a specific comment

Chooba · 16/03/2023 20:59

What's she bringing to him?!

SUBisYodrethwhenLarping · 16/03/2023 20:59

Josh took the ring off and put it in the drawer

Callmejudith · 16/03/2023 20:59

Do we have to wait until Monday?

rioseco · 16/03/2023 21:02

Go Josh!

He’s angry I think it’s because it’s all about her and her needs.
She couldn’t even answer what he did for living.
He was still upset because she’s never asked about his previous marriage/ divorce. It was all about her “ needs”.

Shes mistaken. Josh doesn’t find it shocking. He’s just fed up of being in marriage that’s so one sided.

Josh is great - the best guy on there.

PollyDarton1 · 16/03/2023 21:29

Fucks sake even I remembered what Josh's job was.

Melissa makes me feel inherently uncomfortable because it's clear she wraps up love as sex, and without any form of touch/desire it's as if there is nothing. Josh is clearly a rounded person who wants the whole package. I cringed when he listened to everything she was saying at the wedding, and cringed when she just tore into him and keeps gaslighting him into thinking he's some kind of super conservative celibate entity just because he doesn't value talking every five mins about sex.

It made me really sad when he was so emotional during the confessions letter and she basically skipped over it all and started hogging the space for her confession, which amounted to the grand sum of 'I need a lot of sex'

I actually find her borderline abusive

I stand by my 'he's my type' ascertain, I think he's even better following this episode.

Hops on plane to Oz

She reminds me of the red head hairdresser from the UK show cannot remember her name now.

I see the similarities but Gemma was quite clear that Matt was also making crude comments to her too, and I believed her at the time (and still do). She seemed to want to get to know Matt too.

Villagetoraiseachild · 16/03/2023 21:33

Her face was very telling watching the wedding video. She was more excited to see herself.
He seems such a genuine and mature guy.

Salverus · 16/03/2023 21:34

I can't believe she doesn't know what he does for a living! She's obsessed. It's really weird! Imagine if it was a man saying this to a woman.

happinessischocolate · 16/03/2023 21:35

She wants the "healthy sex life" but she's not very loving or affectionate except in a sexualised and groppy way.

Poor Josh, she's fucking awful.

Merryoldgoat · 16/03/2023 21:35

@PollyDarton1

I agree about Gemma from the UK season.

I found her too much and she got a bad edit but she did try to forge a connection and it was clear he was a douchebag.

Melissa hadn’t even asked what his job is.

That's exactly how I felt. She seemed genuinely wanting to get to know him and work at it. Melissa just values one aspect of a relationship above all else with no awareness of anyone else's needs.

ilkleymoorbartat · 16/03/2023 21:43

What's the massive bombshell!?

dillite · 16/03/2023 21:43

I am actually seriously uncomfortable watching Horny Bear be abusive towards Josh. She brings nothing to the relationship. Shows 0 interest in him. Has viewed him as nothing more than a sex object from the first millisecond. Kicked off when he went to bed despite just minutes earlier saying that she would park up sex talk. This really shouldn't have been shown. And then I am reminded that what we are seeing are the most sanitised scenes and edits.

Sunbird24 · 16/03/2023 20:02

Oh, well played Adam… 🤔

definitely this- he looked so relieved! can't get a read on him, doesn't seem to have a personality!! Janelle seems lovely

Josh is fab- lucky kids to have a dad like that. I can't see him having a single satisfying conversation with Mel- it's not him that's the boring one

I wanted Jesse and Claire to work- Jesse guilty of frustrating immaturity previously but he is very genuine- I can't help but like him- and I really like claire, too.

sadly think jesse's right, though: together they're a bloody nightmare

Honeyroar · 16/03/2023 21:47

I felt so sorry for him when he was clearly upset about his marriage/family having broken up when he read his letter, and she just went “oh right”, then immediately began reading her letter about how upset she was that she wasn’t getting enough sex! She’s unbelievable!

happinessischocolate · 16/03/2023 21:52

Thinking about it, even her conversations at the dinner party only revolved round sex. There's is literally nothing else she talks about.

dillite · 16/03/2023 21:54

I just can not imagine my only personality being sex and literally nothing else.
