Girls’ girl returns with Geppetto’s boy.

Great.

I’d rather summon Candyman.

I had to look away when JJ was pawing Ella’s leg. He looked like a socially inept little creep on a bus tentatively touching the leg of a prostitute on her way home from a 12hr shift down the docks.
Placemarking and quoting this epic assessment of prowly hands and legohead.

Also can't remember who said it first but I still think JJ is a plant. The chances of finding a 'straight' man who is interested in a transwoman is vanishingly small. The chance of that happening live on telly is miniscule. When he said hus type was fake books and lots of surgery he was saying trans we just weren't hearing him. Poor Bianca wish they'd bought her back with a new groom.

I’m against the grain here - can’t stand Jordan, can’t stand Erica. Both very smug and preachy and keep their issues under the radar and downplay them, clearly some troubles there with how Erica treats him and their communication on both sides is very defensive.

About the only couple I actually like are Tom and Roz. Maybe the two newest couples are okay although the big guy seems like a miserable twat, sat so quiet with the gay couple the whole time. There is being a quiet person and being rude.

Nogaxeh · 26/10/2023 12:03

I fundamentally disagree with Luke's entire ethical framework. There are things that are wrong and that you don't do, regardless of whether you get caught or told off by someone for doing them. He's very clearly prepared the ground to justify his future cheating. I hope Jay can see it.

You wonder why anyone puts themselves up for this rubbish.

The chance of you meeting the love of your life is about 1% and while you might get a blue tick short term it’s not going to change your life

15 mins of fame?

I don’t think any of them are really there to find ‘the one’

Italiangreyhound · 26/10/2023 12:10

CherryCokeFanatic, I agree Erica is so rude to Jordon.

I quite like Jordon. But I think he is too serious for this process.

Bluetrue · 26/10/2023 12:12

I loved Bianca, poor girl.

What is wrong with Ella's eyes? they dart all over the place.

Luke is horrible, i feel for Jay.

I like Erica. Tasha is threatened by her and was really aggressive. She also didn't kiss Ella's ass when she walked in.

I find it odd that JJ, who apparently is a model magnet (cough), is happy to be with Ella. No hate but he obv cares about who is on his arm.

Georges is a twat. So is Peggy. Gormless

Arthur is dim. Very dim.

Adrienne is nice too.

LostThestral · 26/10/2023 12:42

trying to decide whether to bother watching anymore - can't stand Ella & not a massive fan of any of the others either.

Me too. I just don't want to watch her. I've gone off her more and more. I don't really like any of them. I loved the last Australian series, but this is so poor in comparison.

OutOfSyncWithReality · 26/10/2023 12:48

Apparently JJ said he "thinks of" Ella as a woman. Not that Ella is a woman.

PaddingtonsHat · 26/10/2023 12:52

They’re basically all hideous. Jay, Ros and Thomas can come to the pub with me as long as Ros and Thomas don’t talk about fishnets and dildos until we’ve had a few.

Why can’t I stop watching?

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/10/2023 12:58

I'm determined to stick with it until the bitter end. I might switch to watching BB live though.

Nathaniel left the dinner party for good and not one single person said goodbye to the guy ! Not one ! Then Bianca left and is forgotten about!
And now Ella and JJ are being treated like a royal couple ? Why? Are people scared to challenge them ?
Apart from Erica and Jordan, no one will call out any of this behaviour!

Too scared to call out a transgender woman , and risk being ridiculed by the woke brigade?

Completely agree.
Jordan and Erica are the only couple calling things out, the rest are like sheep & they come across as too scared of being ostracised to challenge them about their behaviour.

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2023 13:01

I've fallen so behind on BB and ACGAS is on tonight as well!

JaneJeffer · 26/10/2023 13:02

I definitely want to watch Luke crying his eyes out even further than they already are.

dayswithaY · 26/10/2023 13:05

I did meet someone recently who knows JJ and his family. He’s not called JJ - they might be his initials but he’s called by a real name. His family are very rich, new money and he’s trying to get his clothing brand off the ground.

Why you’d have to hook up with a shiny, inflatable object on TV in order to do this is anyone’s guess.

These threads are far more entertaining than the actual program; only watching so we can keep up with this thread! 😂

I think Jay's lovely (loved it when she questioned Luke's possession of eyelash curlers during F&F week!).
Think Ros & Thomas are lovely too. Wonder if Jordan is slightly ND? Very much pro doing everything by the "rules". Reminds me of my DS.
Felt sorry for Laura last night, she did get a lot of flak, but Arthur really doesn't seem her intellectual equal.

Nineandahalfonabadday · 26/10/2023 13:12

Keep up the good work with confusing the MN algorithms @SheldonesqueTheBstard 😂

I love Erica. She is hugely entertaining. She’s prepared to be forthright if she doesn’t like something.

Peggy has the ick and there’s no going back. I quite like her and Georges. I think she’s quite vulnerable and her fake, frozen, rictus face is some kind of consequence of fragility in her. She can’t even move her eyes properly. Fascinating. He’s a buffoon but one of the few who who has a modicum of intelligence.

JJ is like some grinning, slithery imbecile.

I didn’t mind Rosalie at first, but going on about sex toys is just rank and peculiar. Absolutely no need. Porn saturation right there.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 26/10/2023 13:16

😆😆 @Nineandahalfonabadday

Wait till next time! 🤣

I’m going for fish slice and lube, Christmas wrapping, crosswords and rage for that! 😉

I’m already poised (although ready for potential changes) because I got caught napping again thread wise. Too busy reading everyone’s thoughts ☺️

These threads are definitely the best thing about the programme. Would have stopped watching but I’ve got FOMO
