Have there been any couples who lasted the series on the past where there has been an obvious lack of any chemistry from the man to the woman from the start? Adam and Polly are giving me such similar vibes to the ploughed field head beardy tattooed hairdresser and Gemma (forgot his name, sorry) in another series. She was very keen to get it on and the more she pushed, the more he backed off and grew to disrespect her before running off with whiney Whitney.
I do think Lacey’s husband is coping with some sort of a speech and language processing disorder as well as ADHD so actually just can’t express himself well but is really a lovely bloke. I think he adores her and they seem such a great match. They are one of the most likeable couples along with k&k, Ross and his wife.
Eve’s inability to reflect on her own actions is really worrying. It seems it’s all about what Charlie is doing wrong when they are both struggling so much to deal with the emotional stuff. She visually presents in an overtly strong masculine way but her energy is that of an extremely fragile and delicate child. I agree with the earlier poster who said that safeguarding hasn’t been thought through with these two.
I can’t bear Kasper. I know he’s trying but he comes across as so weak, so pathetic and self important. It’s his life indeed but hers too - it’s not all about him. Then he crumples and agrees with whatever the expert says - you know he won’t ever fancy her because he will never fancy someone who is of an equal ilk to himself, which, let’s face it, is how it works in reality. Us less than perfect physically characters tend to find our happiness with others who are also with their lumps and bumps and less than ‘ perfect’ bodily joys. Emma is far too appeasing - I’d like to think without the cameras, she’d have kicked him to touch by now. She the epitome of the nice, jolly, solid, middle class keen-to-please gal who needs to find her inner Nessa.
K&K are adorable. I hope their weird quirks and tricky personal issues continue to nestle into each others with an acceptance of each other exactly as they are.
