I’m only halfway through the first episode but I’m absolutely engrossed.

Anyone else watching? Thought it was interesting the Mollie Mae and Tommy didn’t reveal their pregnancy to Tyson and Paris until she was nearly 6 months gone. They can’t be remotely close despite what they’re trying to portray.

Tyson seems to be a bit of bellend and Paris appears to put up with a lot. His bipolar is blamed for a lot but I think he’s just badly behaved and entitled. The kids are feral 😳 although Venezuela seems to be more mature than her dad.

This thread looks to have been very interesting!

I watched an episode or two of this as have always seen Tyson portrayed in interviews as a class act. I didn't watch love island and molly-mae isn't my kind of girl from her "everyone has the same 24 hours" speech and looking absolutely normal like you see 20 of her on any day but she has still been catapulted to fame so I am very intrigued. It was also something DP and I could watch together.

I thought he was a self important prick. No one else is going to clear his rocks and he's so busy. Assume he has adhd? And due to his size and personality people have reacted laughing to his behaviour and essentially encouraged this.

I thought Paris knows exactly how to handle him and was really impressed with her. She obviously does so much more than she gets credit for. She is a strong woman despite how he treats her. Tommy is going bald in a lot of places and I've never seen so much brylcreem.

I was shocked they waited til she was 6 months to tell them - makes no sense really.

I liked to hear about her relationship with Venezuela as I am also finding my same aged child a tad stressful.

We had a scan at 23 weeks at our hospital so I wondered if MM decided to wait til after that just in case.

Maybe I’m an old cynic but I doubt that was them just hearing the baby news for the first time. I think it was them playing to the cameras .

CallieJones · 23/08/2023 11:22

You're probably right

lunaalice · 23/08/2023 11:23

Surely Molly and Tommy had an exclusive with Ok to announce the news? Was it on Instagram before she was 6 months?

Molly was acting as though she had never met Paris. Why wouldn't she know how Paris deals with the kids when the paps are about?

Either they are making up conversations for the cameras or they aren't close.

Why have they been engaged and married 3 times? Renewing vows ok but proposing 3 times with 3 different rings? Assuming the producers have asked them to re marry for content?

Scurrrt · 23/08/2023 15:38

Anyone see Tommy’s press conference last night? John Fury accompanied him and ended to losing his shit, punched a table, flipped the table over and then kicked another table over before pretty much starting a riot. The bloke is nuts - he makes Tyson look like a mild mannered gentleman

CallieJones · 23/08/2023 16:21

I can't get over him gouging someone's eye out

Rainbowsandbutterflies1990 · 23/08/2023 16:58

I'm on episode 3 and I've got some much to say about this!

I started watching not knowing anyone of them. Not heard of him and just started watching. My main take way is he comes across as Arrogant a hole. Who uses his mental health issues as an excuse to talk horrible to his wife and excuse his behaviour. I actually have always been one who says people with adhd cannot use their condition as an excuse it literally causes certain behaviours. But I've changed my mind. I also have adhd myself. His issues he has he seems to take no responsibility. It doesn't seem like he is getting any support medication or therapy. Maybe self medicating I don't know. I feel really sorry for his eldest daughter. She has been pulled out of school and doesn't want to learn to cook and clean and marry young which I don't blame her but she isn't also able to educate herself and have any aspirations like a career if she doesn't get any qualifications, and who knows at 12 what they want to do as an adult! I get it's the traveller way, doesn't make it ok thou. I think Paris is likeable but I wouldn't want her life. I half time feel sorry for her and other half just Irritated she enables him .
I do think this was a mistake for them to do. It doesn't put him in good light at all and the Chaos isn't cute it's mainly just down Tyson erratic behaviour and that's not cute. Obviously having 6 children including a lot of young children is going to be Chaotic but also having a man child to look after isn't good for rest of children .

I think it probably was as i don't think they're close at all. Paris literally references Tommy & MM once in her book whereas she talks about John & Tyson's other 2 brothers a lot.

CallieJones · 23/08/2023 19:11

Started watching the 2nd episode and I like Paris and Venezuela from what I've seen.

Gothambutnotahamster · 23/08/2023 19:13

Me too @CallieJones - they just seem like such wasted potential! Both are bright & come across well on screen.

And yet the doc tried to portray him as a reasonable, caring dad.

Gothambutnotahamster · 23/08/2023 23:21

I didnt take that from the doc at all @Castform - he comes across as unhinged in the show to me & can totally see where Tyson gets it from.

Also, the fact that they don't reference the help they have or wider family (including Tyson's mum) totally makes the whole thing seem shady & smoke & mirrors.

When Paris said she hadn't had a cross word with John, I thought that was also a strange thing to say - who expects to have cross words with their in laws?!! That to me made him sound like a volatile wotsit and shes spent years towing the line!

Freshair1 · 28/08/2023 20:39

Am on the first episode and they come across appallingly. Absolute trash. Won't be continuing.

...were you expecting something different?

feralunderclass · 29/08/2023 07:05

When Paris said she'd never had a cross word with John, but wouldn't like to get on his bad side I felt was code for he's an abusive monster. According to wiki John had 4 dc with Tyson's mum (sadly the girl died aged 9) and two more with 2 other women.
I definitely agree Tyson's speech intonation is very similar to those with brain damage.

Jbrown76 · 30/08/2023 17:51

Would you have a cross word with someone who beat Amber to the extent she requires extensive dental work and gouged a man's eye out

Botanicaa82 · 03/09/2023 12:21

Can someone explain to me the bit where they're at a boxing event and some bloke comes running over and Tyson knocks him out. Who was that bloke and why was he running over towards them. Paris seemed shocked Tyson had done it....

Jbrown76 · 03/09/2023 15:41

It was a wrestling thing, I think and it was acting, he was to make a guest appearance and this was planned before hand

Wrestling choreography.

Botanicaa82 · 03/09/2023 19:26

Ah OK thank you!!

seascapepleinair · 03/09/2023 19:35

I thought this was going to be about the Irish group. Though I realise the spelling isn't the same Blush

I've never heard of the boxer so I've learned something new!

CallieJones · 04/09/2023 13:52

So was it a fake punch and the man wasn't really hurt?

jlpth · 04/09/2023 14:00

Scurrrt · 22/08/2023 19:22

Tommy bares no resemblance to Tyson or his dad at all

Think he has a different mum
