Seriously who over the age of 16 plays spin the bottle? I just cannot get my head around it.

Drunk people who are cooped up inside flats with people they don't really like, that's who!

This is probably why Porsha doesn't go out drinking any more.

Neverinamonthofsundays · 12/10/2023 14:24

Have they not got a deck of cards to occupy them - bloody spin the bottle. Im cringing for them all.

Mothership4two · 12/10/2023 14:31

Or a good book?

They ply them all with litres of prosecco until they don't know what they're doing.

I’ve heard a few people say that! I thought she looked a bit Lady Gaga like too!

I'm seeing more of Eva Speakman.

Thegoodbadandugly · 12/10/2023 21:43

Brad always looks like he's on drugs.

Neverinamonthofsundays · 12/10/2023 21:51

I do not get the JJ love at all. Like he seems a nice enough lad but looks and everything? No. I am surprised at the women who have gone for him before too. Mind you I am not attracted to any of the men on there.

icallitasplodge · 12/10/2023 23:01

I’m really quite disappointed with Tasha tonight. The way she reacted to Erica was mean and uncalled for.

Turquoisesea · 12/10/2023 23:05

Just seen on the Daily Fail that JJ and Ella get together and are allowed back in as a couple after Nathanial and Bianca leave!

Well the producers HAVE to ensure Ella has her ‘journey’ 🙄

Nathaniel said he was essentially backed into a corner to stick it out with Ella so he didn’t ruin her experience/journey. So them allowing her back in doesn’t surprise me.

The whole spin the bottle/Porsche thing is an issue because she was on her own during the game. Everyone else was with their partner whilst the game was going on that was the issue. Everyone knew they were all cheating. Terrence didn’t have a clue as hec wasn’t there

Thisisnotlikehim · 13/10/2023 17:19

Just caught up. Knew Brad was a wrongun. Seeing him sat on meditating on wet sand I immediately thought ‘Mr Sensitive Abuser’. His experiences are valid and to be heard but hers not so much. What an arrogant tosser. And some insane woman is now dating him despite seeing what he’s like!

I have one question. What on earth are they all wearing under their eyes?

Bouledeneige · 13/10/2023 17:29

I didn't think they were strong enough with Brad. He was using the excuse of a pressured environment - but how do they or anyone know if the controlling behaviour is actually his usual style? So there was a risk that they after they left the show they might have continued with the relationship and his dangerous behaviour. Which could have been extremely risky for Shona.

I really didn't like the social events and the arguments and bitchiness that broke out. I can't think that a show based -apparently on relationship counsellors advice - would then allow stupid questions to be asked that encourage hurt, anger and strife. Like whose got the most fake relationship or who would you like to kiss? It's cheap and inserted to add drama and stress.

@Thisisnotlikehim

Gold under eye treatment masks for puffy eyes and wrinkles - they don't really work and it is cheaper to use cucumber slices!

Thisisnotlikehim · 13/10/2023 18:02

Mothership4two ah. Thank you.

Thisisnotlikehim · 13/10/2023 18:06

Bouledeneige

I agree that they weren’t strong enough in their approach. They should have spoken to them separately too.

The ‘experts’ aren’t proper experts and anyone registered with a proper professional body would get struck off for lots of what happens in the programme. Getting them to rate each other in order of attractiveness for example, clearly has no therapeutic value and is purely for the entertainment factor. It really bothers me that the so called experts give the show a credibility it doesn’t deserve.

It’s my guilty secret that I watch it!! I know it’s wrong but it’s so compelling!!

Mothership4two · 13/10/2023 18:14

Totally agree about so-called "experts" and using tactics like keeping them cooped up together with little to do and asking questions designed to sow discord shows a disregard for the cast and I find is uncomfortable viewing. I much preferred the series where there were two or three couples only.

TurnerP · 14/10/2023 11:09

Which couples do you think will survive post-experiment?

I think Laura will have been looking for exposure to catch herself a rich man, when they exit her and Arthur will split

Peggy and George will split, altho she is physically his dream woman he can't be his true self with her

Paul's parents won't approve of Tasha, they won't last

Erica and jj have potential along with Jay and luke if they can manage long distance

Im fairly sure Tom and Roz will work

…another grooming question…

why is Ella so shiny except when in full slap for dinner parties etc? Is it a thing to use oily moisturisers?

MagpiePi · 14/10/2023 13:28

There is a TikTok video of Nathaniel saying why he left the show. He says he actually wanted to be matched with a guy, but could consider a woman with masculine energy, (whatever that is) so I suppose Ella technically fitted that profile but I don’t think that’s what he meant!

At least JJ will be getting his money’s worth with a woman who has had lots of work done.
