Just started watching it!

Finished episode 1.

Izzy is the new Barnett.

Uche is a judgy twat - hauling Aaliyah over the coals for cheating only to reveal HE has changed too “Oh but I was 18” 🙄

I loved the way Milton talked to Uche - especially the bit about calculus! I was also intrigued by the fact that Uche and Izzy claimed to be trying to protect their friends/were worried about the women coming between their friendship whereas Chris and Milton were not bothered. I liked Stacey pointing that out to Izzy. I was surprised at her wearing a crop top to meet Izzy's Mum though - clearly I am getting old!

Episode 9. Most interesting thing? Hair on the waiter that brings Milton and Lydia their food (who neither seem to acknowledge...rude!). Milton's fam don't like Lydia, it's just never going to work no matter what because she is still so obsessed with Uche.

I think this is another franchise that's run it's course although naturally I'll give the UK version a go when it's out!

Just watching the new episode.

Pleased Stacy called Izzy out in his over promising BS. Have no idea why he’s going crazy at Johnie.

However Rich Stacy how simply HAS to fly first class, if turns out…is a gym instructor? Must be nice of live off Mummy and Daddy and then tell their partner they need to bankroll them

I have googled...Stacy works for daddy 😂

I think if she was looking for a financially solvent husband to bank roll her she came looking in the wrong place. Def agree with her not realising she had picked a dud (for her wants/needs).

jay55 · 07/10/2023 12:40

Thats too funny at Stacey being on daddy's payroll.

Agree at Milton being great how he handled Uche. He really is running his own race.

I hope the UK version has better candidates, but I doubt it, given the stories on any OLD threads on here Grin

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/10/2023 12:58

I honestly haven't been interested in watching these two episodes - a weak season

Weefreetiffany · 07/10/2023 16:58

Wow JP, Uche and Izzy are certainly not princes are they? Stacy isn’t coming across well in the edit either. Was johnie that bad? I don’t remember at all so couldn’t have been that shocking. And there’s a lot of conjecture about Lydia that is only seemingly plausible because she’s so insecure and hot headed. Uche didn’t want to hear the girls contradict his nasty little story did he? A luck escape for johnie and Aaliyah! A season with a lot of personalities and not very nice ones overall. Not really enjoying it and hard to invest in an unlikeable cast (except for Milton and Taylor, who seemed lovely in their own ways)

JP

Wow

Manipulative controlling arsehole.

Claiming he can’t communicate in basic form because the (lovely and beautiful) Taylor had the audacity to wear make up makes me seriously concerned as to why they aren’t ripping the poor girl out of this experiment faster than you can say ‘good goblet’

Reminds me of an ex who used to say “Don’t wear make up so you’re pretty natural” when actually he was trying to uglify me because he didn’t want anyone else to have me and he wanted me to feel I had to stay with him

Yes exactly I had a similar ex ‘I prefer you with no make up and in a tracksuit’ eh yeah ok then!
very controlling

NorthFaceofthelaundrypile · 07/10/2023 21:43

Watching this week’s episodes and wondering what on Earth Brett and Tiffany would make of this lot!

lifeofsty · 08/10/2023 22:11

I'm only halfway through episode 5 but the way JP kisses Taylor is so weird and aggressive, like he's pushing her away and you can tell he's not attracted to her (I think she's beautiful, so naturally pretty).

He is like an alien in a human body who has read a guidebook to earth and watched a couple of episodes of a few TV shows to get the movements right. It makes for such uncomfortable watching.

PeriwinkleForever · 09/10/2023 20:46

So I think Izzy was a shit to Johnnie and Stacy is a nasty piece of work, but actually I do think Izzy seems too vulnerable himself and I think it will all end in tears.

JP was a nightmare - I literally saw the writing on the wall from their reveal when instead of kissing her he kept almost pecking at her in a fairly aggressive smackeroonie fashion. Just too weird.

lydia is all over the place, ushe sounds like a robot and yes does seem too controlling but I can’t help but believe his story. The truth will no doubt out in some behind the scenes reveals in the season reunion.

milton is fab though. He’s so calm and mature. Apart from being a messy focker, I think I want to be him when I grow up.

i felt really sorry for Johnnie but I could be wrong - she didn’t come across too badly from what we saw but it could be careful editing.

for those who are completely up to date, the girl from the meet up (mariam maybe?) who ended up in a shouting match with ushe? I remember thinking it was really odd the way she spoke about herself, her job and her living situation, so I’m sort of glad that ushe called her out on some of that. Whether or not it was true is another matter!

olivehaters · 09/10/2023 21:08

I was deff team Uche and team Johnnie at the meet up.

Izzy had no reason to be so nasty to her. He just seems to be annoyed she found someone else after he turned her down instead of slinking off in misery. Stacey was just full on mean girl because she saw that Izzy clearly has some unresolved feelings for her.

I kind of believe Uche. I think Lydia is a bit of a stalker and she has ruined his connection.

I liked Milton’s maturity. I just hope he escapes Lydia’s clutches!

dimples76 · 09/10/2023 21:33

Perwinkle I also thought that it was odd how Miriam talked about her career and living arrangements in the pods - it didn’t feel like she was being wholly honest. But Uche can only do wrong in my eyes so he wasn't allowed to have a go at her!

Janieforever · 09/10/2023 21:56

I was appalled at how Issy and Stacey bullied johnie. I don’t know what’s wrong with them or why they’d behave like that. Sure johnie might have said the same thing backward in the pods, bullshitting both guys, but so what. It was minor. She’s really not done anything to deserve the full on attacks they both gave her, and Stacey calling her a shit person was well out of line,as was issy calling her sketchy. Just horrible behaviour from both of them .

and I didn’t like uche’s behaviour either. Maybe Lydia was looking at the girls he was looking at on line, the guy was cheating on her. I’d have been looking too. He kept neglecting to mention that little fact when we was telling everyone about her so called stalking. Plus, not finished at cheating on her, dumping her, and accusing her to anyone who would listen of basically being psycho, he was also clearly trying to get Milton to dump her. And the way he went off on thr other girl for cheating when he himself was a cheat, beggars belief.

milton is the most mature and sensible of the lot. However I don’t think he should marry Lydia, he is too young and it wouldn’t work, and Stacey and issy are clearly not suited at all. She doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. She wants money. It’s that simple. She’s hugely materialistic. And her father just wants someone else to pay for her.

to be honest issy should have picked Johnnie in the pods. And I suspect he knows it and wishes he had, And that’s why he’s being an utter wanker to her.

Frazzledandfried · 09/10/2023 22:07

So apparently there was another couple that gor engaged, went to Mexico and beyond but they have been entirely edited out because there is now a lawsuit against the production company from the female contestant because she was sexually assaulted by her fiancé.....

jay55 · 09/10/2023 22:17

That woman was weird in the pods about her housing, job, business, none of it made any sense. And it did feel like the women were trying to deflect from any talk of Lydia knowing that Uche was going to be there.

jay55 · 09/10/2023 22:19

I'd heard about the couple but not the assault, that's awful. One of the women from the pods is there at Lydia's dress fitting, but obviously dressed for her own.

jay55 · 13/10/2023 14:14

Anyone watched the weddings yet?

Frazzledandfried · 13/10/2023 16:30

Saving it til the kids go to bed....ill be back!

Janieforever · 13/10/2023 16:30

I watched yes..won’t say anything than one surprised me.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 13/10/2023 19:07

Just me then that sees the late Robin Williams every time JP smiles.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 13/10/2023 20:41

Really hoping someone just summarises this! Not interested enough to sit through it all, would watch a reunion.

dimples76 · 13/10/2023 21:38

I was surprised by one wedding too. Overall a pretty disappointing series

hellohelp · 13/10/2023 21:51

Checking in before watching the latest ep soon!

jay55 · 13/10/2023 22:02

I was jaw on the floor with the second wedding.

Frazzledandfried · 13/10/2023 22:14

I was surprised by the second one too!
