That's my evenings for March and April sorted!!

@Bluetrews25 I'm 9 years sober myself!

I thought they were drinking coke where the others were on champagne.

OoohLovelySlippers · 04/03/2024 21:20

Absolutely HATING Lauren! She thinks she's funny and it giving it "main character energy" but she's just obnoxious. Shame because he seems an ok bloke so far.

OoohLovelySlippers · 04/03/2024 21:21

The men just think with their dicks as well. If the bride looks good, they just completely overlook the major personality red flags!

OoohLovelySlippers · 04/03/2024 21:40

Lauren's dress is ugly and she herself is truly vile. Absolutely no class whatsoever. I'd certainly never instruct her to do my PR.

awaynboilyurheid · 04/03/2024 22:09

Lauren is a pain! She’s in it for the fame, liking Richard and Andrea hopeful for them.
Do we think Collins finally realises he’s gay after all and leaves at the dinner party?

Think Lauren might have been on a different kind of coke.

Heh, yes may well be true. I'd meant Andrea and Richard on the cola, but Lauren did give off vibes as if she'd had a line or two.

TinselAngel · 04/03/2024 23:10

I don't really understand Lauren saying she wants to be challenged and offended? It just sounds really stressful.

I'm clearly very old.

MaggieFS · 04/03/2024 23:25

Wowsers. I thought Lauren was awful based on the hen party show, then at the start of tonight,quite liked the way she'd take the piss out of herself, but actually she is just pissed. And not giving it half a chance. Seems to need to be leathered to get into anything.

Yes, too "nice" = boring.

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 05/03/2024 00:04

I'm not sure there's a lot of good matches and it looks like they've got them deliberately wrong again.

Andrea & Richard is probably the best of a bad lot and possibly Eden & Jadyen.

Lucinda & Timothy - won't work. She needs someone a bit more on the alternative/zen side and he needs someone emotionless than he just wants to sleep with. I like them both but not as a couple & couldn't be friends with either of them.

I would put any combination from Sarah & Ben (might be harsh but he comes across a little insincere) Lauren and Jack together. All similar sort of personalities and loud personalities.

Then Cassandra, Ellie, with Jono or Tim (jury out in Tim). Quieter, classier, appear to be there for more genuine reasons than the others above. Not sure if Tori fits in here too.

Natalie & Tristan as an outside chance with Collins going home.

I think it would be so much better if they matched them to succeed rather than drama.

Someone appears to leave next week - Jack? Timothy? Collins? Hoping not Timothy or that's Lucinda out too.

I hope the later joiners are all better matches.

dapsnotplimsolls · 05/03/2024 06:13

I have no idea what half their names are!

Skiphopbump · 05/03/2024 07:17

Lauren probably wants someone challenging as that makes more interesting TV to give herself more exposure.

Floatinginvacherin · 05/03/2024 07:48

dapsnotplimsolls · 05/03/2024 06:13

I have no idea what half their names are!

I was just thinking that. I read the post above and was wondering who the hell most of those people are.

MaggieFS · 05/03/2024 09:42

Yep. The only names I think I can remember are the Dens.

LordSnot · 05/03/2024 09:55

I have hopes for Tristan and Cassandra (woman who lost her high school love) especially now he's showing a sexual interest. I was worried they would be friends with no spark.

Ditto Jayden and Eden (kickboxing man bun man). Can't see any big problems looming yet.

I'm worried about Richard (62 yo) and Andrea (?). The ones who get sexual immediately seem to crash and burn. Also how beautiful is his daughter??

I don't think Luncinda's husband (Tim?) is going to be able to open enough for it to work. 40 years of being emotionally stunted is a long time and she isn't going to put up with it for too long. But if he could I really think they could be happy. And I don't believe he isn't attracted to her; he was just too afraid to be honest.

No hopes for the others.

My money is on Collins being the one to leave tonight. I'd give an outside chance to Luncinda's bloke.

MaggieFS · 05/03/2024 09:57

I agree Collins is a good shout to just quit. Or Lauren.

In the opening sequence at the very beginning, it a,so showed the one gets kicked out. Much as I don't like the man bun who isn't Jayden, I do think it will be him.

LordSnot · 05/03/2024 10:14

I missed that. Why do you think it'll be man bun Jayden?

I did wonder about Lauren but I think she's in it for the "fame" so will see it out, getting more and more abusive to whatshisname. Actually maybe they kick her out for clearly being an alcoholic?

MaggieFS · 05/03/2024 10:22

Not Jayden,the other man bun, the arse whose name I can't remember.

LordSnot · 05/03/2024 10:28

Ohhh him... Jack. He's a turd.

Rosiiee · 05/03/2024 10:36

@LordSnot lauren strikes me as very nervous? Hence the attitude and the drinking? Like during the wedding she kept laughing, almost like an act, to cover up her nerves? I know I do that sometimes.

LordSnot · 05/03/2024 10:46

The drinking seems habitual rather than something she did at the wedding to calm herself. I think she's awful but hopefully your more generous interpretation is right!

sdqtb · 05/03/2024 11:45

Old dogs teaching the new pups?

Fuck right bastard off Pob.

Skiphopbump · 05/03/2024 12:00

I think Natalie will be the one to leave tonight. I think she’ll feel resentful towards Collins when she’s see others have developed a connection with their partners.

DaftFlerken · 05/03/2024 12:09

I like Lauren so far, she will make great viewing.
Can't work out how her food & drink PR Company can be so vegan hating though, surely that's a group she represents
