I think tall is a big deal because I don't find men smaller than me attractive.

Fair enough, we all have our preferences - even if some are more socially acceptable than others. It seems perfectly okay to say you don't fancy short men, but if you say you don't fancy black/non-white men/women then you are racist and if you don't fancy trans men/women then you're a homophobe. It seems a bit odd to dismiss a whole group of men based solely on something they literally have no control over, unlike say weight or other appearance choices.

Me too how can you compare being adopted to biologically being a man

she is a man who has tried to become a woman when she dies her skeleton will be male end of story

RobynRB I think the height thing is cultural. It's all those Mills and Boons where the woman looks up into his steely grey eyes, or whatever!

Possibly, but the bar seems set awfully high. It's usually an arbitrary 6ft... I get that it's socially 'normal' for the man to be slightly taller than the woman in a relationship, so if you are unusually tall then maybe, but if you are 5ft 4" then you're just pissing off women who are 5ft 8" and over.

redribbonrose · 20/10/2023 11:22

I really don't think Ella will find what she wants in JJ

Poor Nathanial was coerced into the relationship and suspect poor dimwit JJ was too

When it comes down to it, will he progress things with her? Unlikely

Ella is a foolish pawn in this game. As indeed they all are

I think they underline I WANT SOMEONE TALL on here and other dating programmes because of situations like Morag where she was (I think) rather taller than that lovely Welsh guy. Not to say there aren't hundreds of great couples with a smaller or slighter man. I'm sure if one of these women met a handsome medium height man in real life whom they hit it off with, they wouldn't think twice so they probably don't all require giants.

Quite a few men on dating programmes say they like a petite woman or one who is 'in shape' which is a euphemism for smallish and slim. Kwame completely cut off Kasia for being larger although gorgeous. I think she was quite surprised as she was so glam. It works both ways.

RobynRB · 20/10/2023 11:24

Ella is constantly referred to as the transexual because she literally has no other character traits to latch onto. She's a walking cliche dressed as a drag artist. I mean fair enough she's had the surgery, and her body is definitely surprisingly feminine, but I still don't think she would fool anyone.

Well, maybe a dozy teenager like JJ

Sumthingsweet · 20/10/2023 11:26

She does look great

TitsInAbsentia · 20/10/2023 11:30

I had a quick flick through the episode again to check a few things, and Erica and Tasha BOTH did a swerve, there was no body language from either intending anything different. Tasha was way too keen to spill the gossip to Adrienne, who has only just joined them, which makes me think Tasha does have a big mean girl streak in her. We just hadn't seen it until the Erica thing at the spa.

Ella (aka prowly hands....loved that!) claimed to be taking about Ros's family but when asked what was said Ros replied "I just said I love both of you" which makes me believe Ella was talking about Nathanial, Ros practically confirmed it without saying as much.

I am still baffled how JJ allegedly has a clothing brand (albeit just tshirts and hoodies) and he turns up looking like, I dunno, what was it he was wearing?! Has anyone looked it up, was it designer outfit or something?

JJ is just very thick. Doesn't excuse his behaviour, but he is
I think Ella and him will have a few sex sessions and it will fizzle out

Georges and Peggy were quiet weren't they. All I caught was the disgusting lip licking. I don't think she's the sharpest tool in the box either.

Tasha is a MEAN girl. She was scowling throughout Erica's speech

redribbonrose · 20/10/2023 11:41

I knew Ella was trans the first time I saw her

You cannot disguise that masculine voice

redribbonrose · 20/10/2023 11:44

Suspect JJ is a rich kid and t shirt business (or hobby) is funded by bank of mum and dad

Had a look at his social media. The clothes are market stall standard

I feel a bit sorry for Ella, her husband clearly didn’t like her and just spent the whole time trying to tell her to be someone else. I got weird vibes from him from the off
Of course there was weird vibes from him. He asked for a gay man or a non girly girl and got Ella instead but he accepted his lot with good grace and tried to get to know Ella but Ella just wanted to jump his bones. I think Nathaniel came across as a complete gentleman.

Agree

F'sake...MASSIVE spoiler out there guys, be careful if you are on social media or news sites etc. 😡

bunnibee · 20/10/2023 12:00

I can't get past the lipstick they wear, it's all so sticky and jammy!! I'd hate to be a bloke having to navigate it. Yuck...

and sorry if it offends, but I want to ask the obvious question about Ella but I might be deleted...

JaneJeffer · 20/10/2023 12:01

Is the answer you seek "designer vagina" @bunnibee? If so yes.

why do black women think they are owed a free pass for being overweight?

Sorry what does her being black have to do with her confidence with her weight?

I agree, I thought he was lovely. Very smart and interesting.

I can't get over how much I loathe that rubbery new man with the silly shirt. The one who basically wants to marry a live-in Carer.

Is he AI generated?

He reminds me of the little man from a very old programme called"Fantasy Island"

Theproofofthepudding · 20/10/2023 12:04

There's a lot not to like about Ella, she's very brash and entitled irrespective of her trans status. Talking of entitled did anyone watch the next programme, with the girl complaining her boyfriend didn't treat her well enough because she needed another Chanel Handbag and he wouldn't buy her one?

bunnibee · 20/10/2023 12:05

JaneJeffer yes it was my question, and ouch!!

He was wearing a string of pearls!!! 🍩
