Have at them.

And his chorizo.

Yes!

Can't believe she's only 27. She looks like someone in their 40s who's had a tonne of work done

I'm annoyed by the Polly and Adam story just now...imagine it was the other way round and the girl was being persuaded to 'be intimate' in the hope the spark would grow and if he was the one saying 'I got what I wanted'. Nobody should be pressurised male or female, just wrong

Can't get over Emma and her friends reeling from the revelation that Caspar doesn't feel attracted to 'curvy' girls. As if he'd said he didn't fancy her because she was black or something. Body positivity is all well and good, but Holly's hardly slender and I wonder how she'd react if her bloke would have been a size '14'.

I agree @stonkytonk11

@stonkytonk11 i always switch the genders when there's questionable behaviour. It can be quite eye opening.

Adam has made a huge mistake. At least Caspar has had the courage to not cave in to the demand that he fancy Emma against his will. Adam's now made a rod for his own back, if you pardon the pun. Polly will be twice as crazy at any future rejection from him now she's given him her flower. It's so obvious from body language that the attraction still ain't there. It's always her pawing at him. I see nothing from his side.

Maybe the producers told him that if he stayed, there'd be 'new opportunities'?

I agree that Shit lid Adam really doesn't fancy Polly at all. Yet she is completely enamoured by him. It's a very difficult watch. It will be unbearable watching Polly eye each threat to her ( any female with a pulse).

Caspar has been almost bullied out of his feelings for Emma by the ixperts. What they and Emma are doing is crazy making.

I think Caspar would have warmed to real Emma and not show Emma.

I wonder if someone is quietly whispering in her ear to keep that daft comment buzzing in her head.

Most folk would have let it drop by now.

Playing on folks’ damage and insecurities is just pretty shitey. Pairing them with folk who will never complement them as people or bring value to their lives is nothing short of shameful.

I’m not just on about Emma and Caspar here.

What I find a bit bizarre is the introductory interviews and how many state they have been cheated on and find it hard to trust as a result of that. Have I accidentally watched the same episode 14 times, or does this apply to like 80% or the contestants?!

They want Emma out because she’s too expensive to feed

Nice.

We need a thumbs down button

Could you put it on the spoiler thread? I'd love to know if I'm right about him not being a particularly nice guy.

You know what I was thinking? These reality shows always start off with fairly everyday people and are interesting. Then they seem to want to get it more and more 'interesting' so they add challenges, scout for 'characters', introduce drama and it becomes like a scripted show and eventually implodes. I'd love it to be a fairly normal experiment. First dates is the only one where I don't feel people have no intention of a date and just want to bring baggage /become famous.
I also (controversial) would be furious to be married to a stranger with an illness or baggage that you'd normally declare early on.

@Phase2 I was watching First Dates las night and thinking that I would consider going on that show because the majority of people are there for the real reason of meeting someone they might have a future with. There isn't enough money in the world to convince me to go on MAFS. Well, that's a lie but it would be millions and there's no way that would happen.

@MouseMinge true, not the spin offs but the original in the bar you do stand a chance of meeting someone you might have a laugh with.

@MouseMinge not even for the chance to get jiggy with Shitlid?

I don't understand why their more sensible friends and rellies are not telling them nooo, do not do it. The desire for fame mixed with delusion is strong!

@Phase2 the children issue is also a huge one. It's perfectly reasonable and understandable for someone to not want a partner with kids. It's an absolute non negotiable for many - and then they ignore it and pair them anyway.

The ixperts seem dead set on gaslighting anyone who is honest about their preferences instead of accepting how terrible the match is.

@Tittat50 yes! Realistically who is going to be ok with four kids if they have none? And especially as we know one of the riskiest times for children is when a step dad is introduced, maybe why I don't recall the women having kids?

Yes. And then afew minutes later when Holly said she didn't feel she could talk to him he actually had the nerve to say " when do I stop you talking" ? Er, literally you are camera shutting her down.

It’s clear Alex and Holly are toxic with eachother. He gives that stare and is generally angry whilst she constantly adds fuel to the fire. I’m not condoning Alex’s behaviour but Holly doesn’t know when to stop.If someone is angry don’t carry on arguing, going round in circles.’

Im surprised Alex is in the RAF. He seems far to hot headed. How does he cope with the discipline in the RAF? He must take orders from people?
