Dinner party already?

I need to know how Charlie is bullying Eve

You keep telling yourself that.

It's a 50 year old episode of Face The Music on bbc4 , which is mesmerisingly dull, or Philip Schofield on a desert island on channel 5 as an alternative

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/09/2024 22:04

Schofield can fuck right off with his whining. I'd rather be on a desert island with shitlid.

LessonsinChemistryandLove · 30/09/2024 22:07

I can see Polly is going to be annoying again. Why doesn’t she just focus on her own situation. she’s was so involved in the Alex and Holly thing as well.

Get yourselves over onto 4+1. SAS. They're drowning the celebs! 😂

I’m watching Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins on 4+1.

Far better than any of those options 😂

Because Eve, like every classic Narcissist will be portraying that 'woe is me' look of distress and fooling people. You can tell she's trying to make Charlie look abusive.

Hope the producers from mafs aren't getting ideas. Haha

DoYouReally · 30/09/2024 22:12

Alex and Eve would both terrify me in a relationship.

He comes across as extremely controlling and very much a "you must abide by my rules" type of person.

Eve clearly is very damaged by some past experience and cannot deal with emotions at all. She also seems to have very little self awareness & doesn't see outside her own rigid view.

I think both could dangerously flip out at any moment.

I've got an old episode of Have I got News for You on Dave. It'll do.

mewkins · 30/09/2024 22:15

I'm standing by my previous view that Charlie is properly awful. I think that Charlie kind of sets the arguments up. Also we didn't see the big honeymoon argument with the door banging and don't know what Charlie said there so Eve may well have grounds for not trusting Charlie...

LivelyGoldOrca · 30/09/2024 22:19

Celibate. Like how? She’s had sex, just not for a while. That’s everyone between partners

True but we do know that Eve was happy enough to shag Charlie in between arguments then need space and didn't trust her again. Feels like very mixed messages.

I sort of feel like Charlie's issues are incredibly apparent. She is scared of rejection so lashes out when she feels it coming. Eve doesn't seem like she feels anything!

Oneandahalfonagoodday · 30/09/2024 22:21

Does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with Paul's advice to Holly that they have to resolve all disagreements in private? So she has to negotiate with someone with possibly abusive tendencies without support from friends/witnesses. 🤔

I knew the moment Charlie kicked off at Alex at the stag do she’d be gobby and hard work

But we can only go by what we’ve seen, and what I’ve seen is Eve not really making a concerned effort. She runs away at any mildly difficult conversation or inconvenience. She could’ve literally written a short letter to Charlie explaining what she was trying to explain verbally. That she wasn’t in a place yet where she felt she could share her inner emotions and experiences.

Honestly they’re both awful. I don’t see how they could possibly work at all. Their communication styles are at opposite ends of the scale.

Not if he gave that advice in good faith.
If Paul didn't know about the accusations which I'm betting producers kept hidden, then it makes perfect sense to try and resolve problems away from the rest of the group/in public settings.

However, Alex does look so aggressive. He also seems to have short man syndrome which is weird as I dont think he's actually short. But I suppose you can't judge a book by it's cover so I do hope the advice was given in good faith

a total crybully- she's vile and infuriating!
poor Charlie- no wonder any latent needines is ramping up- Eve's sapping her naturally warm disposition

Dillite2 · 30/09/2024 22:55

I am genuinely struggling to be interested in the show now. We are seeing nothing but conflict, purely abusive and toxic interactions, and very clearly staged and manipulated scenes. Keeping Up With The Kardashians is more authentic than this show, and it's pissing me off. Usually the balance tips the other way, which is what keeps you going. We are yet to see any non-staged engagement from anyone.

I agree!

Also, I don't see where Alex has been 'aggressive'. He shows empathy when Holly is upset when she reveals past traumas. She was awful to him, swearing at him on the honeymoon when he wanted a nap after a long flight. He's been complimentary about her looks & was hurt & defensive when his comments about wife swapping were brought up out of context. He didn't respond as well as he should have done but I totally get his perspective that it should have been discussed in private without the drama & an audience. I think he's getting a hard time on here because of the DV accusation but that hasn't been proven (to my knowledge anyway) & he hasn't behaved aggressively towards Holly on this show.

Eve is manipulative, abusive and callous. She needs to go into some severe therapy before she goes anywhere near another human being.

This. Scary human.

murasaki · 30/09/2024 23:31

She's a bit like a cyborg. But in reverse in that she runs away. Probably for the best.
