Yeah, probably the singing upset her again! 😂 I’m already dreading it so will be switching the tv over at that point or putting the kettle on and making tea in the kitchen

I’ve got the Mute button on standby 😂

Lucinda’s voice really grating in me but DH said she sounds hearing impaired so now I feel guilty if this is the case! Timothy just doesn’t fancy her and he’s getting shit from everyone because of it. You can’t force attraction.

Here to join the perimenopause club 🙋🏽‍♀️😂

Being 46 sucks at times but also means your tolerance levels for bullshit are zero 😂

We definitely couldn’t go on MAFS… They wouldn’t like our no nonsense attitude 😅

I’m “dating” and my no nonsense cutthroat approach shocks men, especially as I seem to attract the Jack types🤔 they seem to think over 40 = desperate so will entertain all sorts of nonsense. I told them that they underestimate the power of menopause and how we just don’t give a shit 😂

I went through enough headache dudes in the past, I’m certainly not going to entertain it now that the kids are big, I can travel, going gym, enjoying life a bit more, etc ( albeit with night sweats, feeling drained most days and now just by looking at a cake i am putting on weight…and ALL on my tummy now 🙄😂)

Floofydawg · 26/03/2024 21:29

Ah good luck @hoxtonbabe! I met my DH in my early 40s via online dating. Had to go through a few duds first though.

roarrfeckingroar · 26/03/2024 21:30

@browneyes77 yeah I really liked his mate holding him to account

RottingInBed · 26/03/2024 21:32

I AM SO BORED OF THIS YEAR ALREADY! WHERE IS THE WINE THROWING?! AND THE CHEATING?!!

Bring back Harrison, Bronte, Elisabeth, Innes and that hunky (but twat) of a guy with the tattoos down his neck.

Oh I feel you about the weight gain!! 😫

I think us menopausal women would make excellent ixperts on this show. Maybe not so much giving them advice and more just calling out their bullshit.

Jack starts talking: “Muzzle your mouth and get out you lobster coloured, bullshitting, narcissistic little prick”

Tim the Elder starts moaning: “Oh shut the fuck up you whiny twat. You like bricks and walls? Go build a bridge and get the fuck over it”

Tori starts making excuses for Jack: *One of us runs up and cracks her round the head with a big red flag, shoves the red flag up Jacks arse and shouts; “Do you see this now? Do you see it?!!!!!”

As a starting point anyway…..😂

Ridge is v emotionally mature! Despite coming across as the opposite at the start.
i’m pleasantly surprised at him!

He's a mental health nurse. I'd expect him to have some skills and emotional maturity.

Ellenanora7 · 26/03/2024 21:52

Anybody mind if I hope on with a question.

What is the trauma that Tim has been through?

I've only watched a few episodes this time around, I've watched before but not since the Brice and Melissa year I think, I get them mixed up😊

His mother died when he was young (teenage?), soon after that his only brother committed suicide. His father died 6 weeks before he came into the experiment. Tim disclosed to Lucinda that his father at the end told him he'd never liked him.

LordSnot · 26/03/2024 22:16

I think there's more to Tim's backstory that he hasn't disclosed. Probably significant abuse from his dad all his life.

I'm getting a bit bored. It's clear by now most of the couples have no hope but they're the ones that get the airtime because of drama. This is why I never finish a series. But your posts are keeping me entertained!

Thanks @CorylusAgain

That's awful for him, very sad 😞

I did like Lucinda's Dad, agree with other posters, he'd be better than some of the experts.

Fannyfiggs · 26/03/2024 22:35

If Timothy spoke to me the way he spoke to Lucinda on the couch, I would have created merry hell. That couch would have been upended with me shouting 'come ahead ya wee prick!'

Yes, another perimenopausal woman here too 🤣

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/03/2024 23:04

Perimenopausal women unite!

Just trying to imagine the lyrics to Ben's song ...

I wanna be a Dad
But now I'm sad
That you wrote 'leave'
Why can't you believe
That I'm 4real
Not here for a deal
Or to increase the numbers for my crappy podcast
Why can't you believe that our love will last
Just because I wear crap shirts?

murasaki · 26/03/2024 23:15

Just caught up. Lucinda's dad rocked, he really takes no shit. Actually impressed with Ridge, who bears no resemblance to his original VT, he is now deece, as his mates would say.

Tori just wasn't listening to Lea , who sees Jack, or Jacob for what he is.

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/03/2024 23:15

I'm a bit gutted that Lea didn't get Tori on her own.

murasaki · 26/03/2024 23:16

Yes, i was hoping for that. And it is possible given the Lucinda's dad v Tim the Elder situation.

murasaki · 26/03/2024 23:19

Oh, and well done Ash for fucking off. Unless this is a Collins/Natalie situation.

Romeiswheretheheartis · 26/03/2024 23:29

This is the third season of this I've seen, and in each one there's been a dad who's done the job of the experts in about 3 seconds flat.

I didn't see the first part of tonight's - I'm assuming Ash has quit?

Becuna · 26/03/2024 23:38

So surprised, but Ridge is really deeeccee. He is a lovely man, she needs someone like him. I hope it works. Deeccee

LuluBlakey1 · 26/03/2024 20:27

And now I am feeling uncertain about Stephen. He seemed vulnerable at first and thrown by finding out he was second groom, but I think he is less needy than Michael. After that hug I think he's not that into Michael.

I agree. I don't think Stephen is into Michael at all.

MissUnicorn · 26/03/2024 23:51

browneyes77 · 26/03/2024 21:20

As if he suggested Tim have a one night stand with his daughter 😂😂

That’s Dads way of saying, get over yourself and make my daughter feel good about herself 😂

I did also like the way Tim’s bloke friend highlighted to Tim that Lucinda had apologised and that he should acknowledge that.

When you're own people are defending the other person, it's time to get a clue!!

I don't think it's because he doesn't fancy her, it's because he's not being honest about it. He's actually doing something very similar to Jack. Just say there's no spark and leave.

mcmen05 · 26/03/2024 23:58

Loved Lucindas dad except the one night stand part, her mum was very quite.
Tim does not fancy Lucinda
I actually seen on Google he was married sorry if that is a spoiler.

Andrea I hope she leaves as Richard is awful

Cass go home you deserve better.

Feel sorry for Michael hopefully he gets a nice partner in life.

Ash Run run as fast as you can. Or Run forest (Ash).

Can't remember other new couple but he seemed decent tonight, but early days.

Ellie beautiful my favourite deserves the best and Ben is just pathetic.

Tom you Run too. Sarah no good for you.

Jade nice girl but don't think they will last she is too emotional for him, he doesn't understand her feelings.

Jack and Tori deserve each other.

Lauren and Jono not suited, she knew from the start she is too different from him.

Until tomorrow night

Twonewcats · 27/03/2024 00:03

So, when Richard was bragging about the sex etc with Andie, was that at the dinner party?
I wasnt really aware of anything much happening, but the next thing we know, she's basically done a complete flip and can't stand him.

I cannot understand why I keep thinking she's older than she is. She doesnt look old, but I feel like she's the same age as Richard for some reason.

Is it normal for a Jacob to be known as Jack? I've never heard it shortened to anything except Jake and Jay.

Jayden actually makes me feel sick. I cannot get over how easily he has got away with what he did. And his hair/look is equally grim
