Celebs go dating, anyone watching?

[Jellykat]

I know, i know, its pure crap, but i cant resist..
Anyone else?

Helen dresses like she's going to a black tie event even during the day, really odd.

Helen and her boyfriend. 'She wasn't allowed to wank anyone off' good god, why would you even say that knowing you're on TV and your family could be watching. Lauryn is a cold fish, Anna hit the nail on the head when she said she sees relationships as transactional. Plus her voice, the vocal fry is very unattractive. Yet another younger man for Jamelia.

I went off Jamelia a bit last night. That was arrogant. A successful man near her own age in any field would have plenty to talk about, problem solving experience etc, making the best of failures, without her needing to belittle someone younger with an honest and socially useful job like a classroom assistant. I'm really not surprised she's picked all the wrong men. It seems that she wants to feel inferior.

Breast milk drinking. Jesus. you could see him wishing he could put the words back in.

From saying that he didn't want to be on tv and it wasn't his thing to actually saying through his ridiculous turkey teeth about not wanking someone off....there are no words. He's a walking cliche. I'd bet my life savings on cheating and divorced and now with a younger woman. Yuk.

Tristan's mumsy will not approve of Georgia and he knows this. He is just stringing them all along.

But TA's are paid terribly, I'd don't know how he'd even afford to have moved out of his parents house. Jamelia's net worth I read to be around 15mil, the power imbalance would be ridiculous. I think 'the agency' just find a string of random men who want to be on the telly and then blame the celeb when they don't just go along with the charade.

Helen seems to wear only things that are going to show her huge boob job off, who dresses like that walking down the road in the middle of the day? I couldn't see what there was between her and the bloke, I'd imagine she makes poor choice after poor choice when it comes to men in a Katie Price sort of way.

Attention seeking much 🧐 tits out every time telling anyone who'll listen she's a milf - very unattractive!

Oh I agree there would be an imbalance and I understand she might want to date someone more accomplished. It was how she said it! However, a big part of her level of success in things like music is luck as well as work so hopefully she realises not many will have quite her level of net worth/ fame, but will have done a huge amount in their own right maybe out of the spotlight. I get the impression she would be susceptible to someone who comes across 'spectacular' with or without the achievements to back that up.

It does just seem like randomers and I really don't get the ages- she hasn't said she prefers them young so why are they so young?!

Helen's never ending low cut dress collection! I don't get a great vibe from the bloke, weird task but I thought he was quite unkind.

Yeah Tristan isn't serious about Georgia, you wouldn't really have two dates and a shag with someone else before your 4th date if excited to see them.

I can’t believe he went on there tbh no wanking 🤣🤣

Just watching last night's epi and Anna was AWFUL to Lauryn. Transactional? If a grown woman and a mother of two who has been through the mill doesn't want to spend time talking niceties with some random guys she doesn't like she's labelled "transactional"? Women are always being expected to just be nice and go with whatever everyone else wants, including entertaining men they have no interest in!

I'm beginning to find the agents' attitude really annoying. They love to have the celebs crying on their sofa so they can patronise them. They spoke to Helen and the boyf like they were kids, and there were some pretty intrusive questions!

Yes- what's the therapeutic value in stirring up shit in a very new relationship by asking them to come up with criticisms.of each other? I felt like the guy was a bit mean with it but the task itself was just inflammatory and pointless.

What a dire bunch of dates!

Jamelia and Stephen were out of order then with Chris. I'm no Chris fan but he's perfectly at liberty to sleep with someone and then change his mind or move on. That red headed girl had no right to get stroppy. They've hardly sworn undying love for each other. It's the shows set up that means you're at risk of being publicly rejected. If you're not comfortable with that prospect, don't go on the show.

My reading of the Jada/ Chris situation is that even though Jada had no right to be annoyed, the retreat scenario created an accelerated form of intimacy & it’s embarrassing frankly to have slept with him then not get chosen. I think it’s unfair of the agents to create that type of scenario then have the brunch soon after. I don’t think Stephen & Jamelia should have given Chris such a hard time.
I’m glad that Tristan made the decision not to continue dating Georgia or Kea. You could see there wasn’t much beyond the physical attraction there.

I didn't think she was. I think Lauren is very cold and when she was taking about her time being wasted (I thought she had lots of time seeing as she doesn't have a job) she did sound as though she would only bother talking and being pleasant to a man if their was something in it for her. I also think it worked because she seemed a bit more pleasant with her date after it. There were rumours that she did not get on with Anna or the other 'experts' and was difficult on the programme.

I was cringing watching Chris get rid of both girls but I didn't think he did it in a particularly horrible way. I do wish that he'd stop going on about being weird. He's not, he's just a pain in the arse. I liked that Jamelia decided to see teaching assistant man again.

I see both points, Stephen and Jamelia and Chris. Chris was not in the wrong to want to go on a date with Lou. He wasn't exclusive with Jada and both seemed interesting.

However, the situation had been created of making him choose in front of Jada after having sex with and spending time with her.

It put him in a rough position after several dates he had no interest in and he treated it like love island (even the language he used) not a mature, diplomatic man.

Stephen and Jamelia I think were saying accept you've been put in an awkward position for TV and behave with more humility to the one you've slept with and built intimacy with rather than suiting yourself.

Jada well within her rights to feel hurt. In real life that would never happen. I think she just removed herself from a humiliating public position. Chris probably did the right thing, it was just unpleasant that Jada had to see.

The brunches are ugly. I think it's the 'civilians' who bear the brunt of the rejection and humiliation. Fine picking a match after a mixer but not several dates and sex. That's really messy and nothing like real life or ethically helping people find partners.

Tristan thought the girls were only FWB material anyway hence going scorched earth.

Who the hell does Stephen think he is, the redheaded guy was really attractive. No need to be personal.

Why did Chris get a bollocking and Tristan didn't?

My point exactly! Why the double standards? If Georgia hadn't implemented a sex ban, Tristan would've slept with her too! But he didn't get the roasting that Chris did.

Exactly @Shitlord, I feel like the agents are engineering the situation to make it more exploitative & it’s not fair to be putting the celebrity’s dates in that position. I think Chris could have handled the situation better for sure but it was pretty humiliating for Jada. Also Anna was doing her shocked face when Chris was explaining he would like to go for a date with the new girl but I feel like that’s exactly what the agents want them to do! Very mixed messaging. I also agree there’s a lot of misogyny on this thread in terms of the dates being trashy/ not classy for sleeping with Tristan/ Chris.

Did the agents give Chris a bollocking or was it more the other celebrities? If Jamelia & Stephen hadn’t said anything I wonder how the agents would have handled it? I thought it was partly that Tristan didn’t pick any of the women but I agree it does seem like double standards.

I don't see the behaviour as that similar tbh. I suppose if Tristan was not feeling either he shouldn't pick either and he now he's made himself clear. Horrible forum to dump someone after sex but he didn't pick it and they'd all signed up. He goes full on flirtatious on dates but I don't think he made any promises.

Chris didn't do anything wrong in line with non-exclusive, multi dating, true-to-myself, reality TV norms, but it was not a gentlemanly way to treat Jada even if it was false intimacy after the retreat.

Earlier in the series Tristan was in the same position and insisted on meeting both again. Chris could have done that (the trouble with editing, maybe he tried but I would assume he didn't from Jada's reaction).

Also Tristan is more likeable than Chris but saying 'sorry, I don't think I'm in it long term' to everyone isn't as mean as rejecting the most invested one you've just slept with in favour of a speed date.

I'm not convinced Jamelia is as nice initially portrayed, imagine saying "My resume is longer than yours!"

When she was on Loose Women (many years ago) I disliked her because I didn't think she was very nice at all

How does Chris say he didn't just have a one night stand then get rid when that is exactly what he did? Not that Tristan did any different.

Anna's supposed shocked face when she "found out" both Tristan and Chris had slept with their dates. She already knew they had. I wonder just how scripted this show is
