First Dates season 23 creepy 'east coast' man

Please can anyone link me to an existing thread about the new season of First Dates.
It's been quite odd so far and I really need to hear other people's opinions on the seriously creepy guy that claimed he was from the 'East Coast' (on a date with a dating TikToker who is obviously primed to reappear for a true love match where she can warm our hearts by declaring her date gave her no icks).

Feels a bit like they are purposefully planting more and more dud dates just for interest but it's all off and the scales are too far into the cringe for it to enjoyable or credible.

Ah crap i didn't realise there was a new series!

There's not a thread yet on the new series.

I'll have to catch up another time

purpleme12 · 12/08/2024 00:02

Is it episode 2 you're talking about?
I've only watched episode one.

Kurt was very smooth talking!
I could tell Ashuana was albino, rather than white. I was surprised he did didn't know what it was.
I think every date was actually a success wasn't it?!

purpleme12 · 12/08/2024 00:02

Oh one of them wasn't
Still, that's good odds

EmilyGilmoreCardiganEnergy · 12/08/2024 18:04

@purpleme12 I think it was episode 3.

I thought the albino woman was lovely but I did feel that there was no way the guy could have said he didn't want to see her again without looking like a rotter so he was under pressure, just wonder what actually happens when the cameras stop.

I'm also putting it out there to nobody that the people that snog for the cameras have me retreating to my cringe cave behind a cushion and the ambiguous updates are infuriating, stuff like 'he is looking forward to showing her how to tango on a second date' so it doesn't tell you anything other than they obviously aren't going to see each other again but don't want to admit it.
I only watch for the updates at least give us the truth.

She just suggested the swap dates because she wanted the other one didn't she

purpleme12 · 20/08/2024 23:15

She lives in a warehouse with 15 other people?!?

purpleme12 · 20/08/2024 23:30

I thought the wildlife documentary maker and his date were going to say yes to each other

purpleme12 · 28/08/2024 21:50

I thought the author's date was going to say yes

purpleme12 · 29/08/2024 00:25

'sometimes I even go to McDonald's' like it's the craziest thing ever 😂

purpleme12 · 29/08/2024 00:33

I'm interested to know how tall Jemma's date was. It didn't say

purpleme12 · 29/08/2024 00:35

Oh my god the American backtracking when Shrish said she didn't want to see him romantically
'oh yeah that's not what I said either' 🙈🙈

purpleme12 · 29/08/2024 00:36

'i knew it in the first five minutes'

What an idiot

purpleme12 · 29/08/2024 00:39

I quite liked Josh and Jemma as a 'couple'

The couple who were both short

purpleme12 · 11/09/2024 23:16

Bump

thoroughlypickled · 12/09/2024 15:48

Can anyone tell me what episode they're up to? It seems to have been released in July yet only 4 episodes watchable so far on all4?

Is it because they want everyone to upgrade and pay to watch?

purpleme12 · 12/09/2024 21:10

Episode 1, 2 and 3 have been shown on Tele so far.

Yes the other episodes on there are obviously there to entice people to pay for the 4od

So he agreed to another date because she was albino, is that what you're saying,why? She was lovely!

Nice to see Merlin looking well again.

purpleme12 · 22/09/2024 14:31

Oh my god this man who said he had an argument with his wife cos he didn't want a dog 🤦
That would be a no from me straightaway

purpleme12 · 22/09/2024 14:33

Oh god it gets worse

purpleme12 · 22/09/2024 14:38

Boring 😳

She's really not happy!

purpleme12 · 22/09/2024 14:46

And then she says he's a really nice man while we get the impression she thinks the opposite!
