A no spoiler tv pace thread please.

A pestilence of mammoth proportions in the shape of toothy pubic lice for those who escape from the twat field and may any unsocked feet sweat enough to give you bulbous blisters….

Waiting for clips - only info is ‘coming soon’….

I think Thomas ? The posh one ? Seems really nice but Rosalyn seems not to like him much , wonder why as they seemed to have lots in common.

Don't like Laura who seems cold but then her hubby seems a bit wooden too, but lacking in personality so far .

Italiangreyhound · 20/09/2023 12:58

I like Ella.

Just FYI....

metrosexual
/ˌmɛtrəˈsɛkʃʊəl/

INFORMAL
adjective

  1. relating to or denoting men who live in urban areas and enjoy shopping, fashion, and similar interests traditionally associated with women or gay men.
  2. "the rising trend of the metrosexual man"

I wouldn’t have known Ella was trans if the programme didn’t mention it beforehand.
Has Thomas been on TV before? I recognise him. Something like dinner date or something?! It’s bugging me!

JaneJeffer · 20/09/2023 13:46

Surely the voice was a dead giveaway for those who didn't realise?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 20/09/2023 13:54

I don’t think there is anything conventional about Ella’s appearance.

Beautiful eyes but the rest is fashioned to the Insta filter pumped up poutyness parody of womanhood.

It ain’t conventional at all.

Is it a pass under those conditions? Absolutely. Tesco shopping? Not at all.

Unfortunately as sweet as the real bit of Ella seems, it is drowned out by the affected mannerisms and the inner man voice screaming to be heard.

I would love to know the real Ella. I’m not interested in the stage version.

Not really. Ever watch Golden Girls?

Yeah I remember we all thought Dorothy was a man.

I loved Roz's flowers but I'm surprised she didn't have one of those you don't have to be mad to work here signs.

I'm dying to know what Nathaniel is accusing Ella of lying about.

Ha ha @JaneJeffer
I hate those bloody signs, but you’re spot on here. She even made reference to being a bit crazy in her vows. But rushed through them, looking down, like someone who uses this ‘zany’ character as a mask. When really, she’s not like that at all.

I like Thomas. I just hope Rozz gives the relationship time.
I get really ~irrationally~ annoyed with the contestants who think they’re going to madly fancy a total bloody stranger. How often does that happen in real life? (When you’re not off your tits on 10 tequilas that is!)

TheDutchHouse · 20/09/2023 14:34

I can't get the thought that I have seen Luke bed.. obv don't want to Google and see a spoiler but does anyone else recognise him?

Maybe Drunk Married At First Sight would freshen up the concept?

I haven't seen that but it's now seriously bugging me lol

itsmyp4rty · 20/09/2023 15:25

It's so tedious that half the contestants have been on tv shows before. I'll still be watching - but sad that's it's all just drivel and they're just in it to be on tv.

Tontostitis · 20/09/2023 15:32

I think Ella's husband might be a trans man too but that would be some very dangerous game playing.

I wasn't actually looking at the TV when I first heard the voice and and thought it was a man's voice.

WildFlowerBees · 20/09/2023 16:10

Ella's eyes are contact lenses I think, also Ella's behaviour smacks of a very flamboyant gay man. Calm the Jeff down!

She is a bit flamboyant! Grin But I think she is realising it as she does it (IYSWIM) and quickly calms herself down a bit. She may have contacts possibly. I don't think we got a good enough look at the photo(s) of when she was a boy to see.

Mothership4two · 20/09/2023 16:32

Immediately clocked Ella was trans. They seemed like a good match.

I really feel for Thomas. His biggest fear was that his partner would not think he was good enough and that was the exact vibe he got from Roz. She kept complaining that they were awkward together, but she obviously didn't do a good job at hiding her disappointment, so naturally he is going to feel it and act accordingly. I wish he would pull his upper class stick out of his backside though, I think he would look quite attractive if he acted more naturally.

ExtraPaddingForFallingOver · 20/09/2023 17:20

I like Thomas, but it was the comment about not getting into a nightclub in Leicester because of his accent 🤣 I live in Leicester, it’s not in the back of beyond and there are plenty of people with RP accents!

Mothership4two · 20/09/2023 18:02

He probably just meant it happened in Leicester @ExtraPaddingForFallingOver.

My posh sounding (lovely) friend was laughed at by a group of boys who would not believe that she wasn't 'putting on' her accent and that was in a nightclub in leafy Torquay (a long time ago)

ExtraPaddingForFallingOver · 20/09/2023 18:12

@Mothership4two yeah probably, I am warming to him though, I think it’s all a front

Sheisready · 20/09/2023 18:44

Maybe that's just me I don't see people as a thing - just as a personality.

Yes, that must be it. The rest of us just see people as things 🙄. Ella's mannerisms remind me of a drag queen. I do think Ella and Nathanial make a good match. Fingers crossed for them.

I felt a bit sorry for the posh lad, Roz was going on about him being awkward but I think she was projecting. I hope he's going to be ok.

I don’t see people as things either.

I alas take exception to affected mannerisms and someone’s impressions of how women are or should be.

For a few reasons, it saddens me. For them. For women.

It is like this a bit. Just not Bond.

JaneJeffer · 20/09/2023 19:08

I feel like Nathaniel might be the problematic one. He's all about the heart supposedly but was still taken up by the exterior. Ella was more honest about what she wanted on a superficial level. I fear no man will live up to dad though.

Was it Thomas who did the wavey, hand flappy crying before?

Exactly why I have an issue with drag artists, the perception of a woman is offensive but that's for another convo.
The over acting and false tears plus hand waving like they are drying nails is getting in my wick !
