Says a lot about the idea that this show has an iota of integrity that the ixperts managed more outrage for one snog between two people about to leave and in non-existent relationships than they have for any of the appalling behaviour that is genuinely damaging.

I do not wonder how easy it is for Ross to follow the conversations at times.

I agree the hearing must be difficult as a fellow dead person and probably no where near as bad as his , I struggle with more than 1 conversation at a time let alone all other background noises

Italiangreyhound · 21/10/2024 23:43

Richelle, where is your self respect you are coming across so badly.

I cannot believe the 'experts' have allowed Richelle to keep talking like this!

Alex has certainly showed his true nature there too.

Oh my god Rochelle it's no wonder she's single she should never have gone on the programme, no-one could please her, ever

It might be an interesting ixperiment to read all the posts about an episode without watching, note what you think might have happened, then watch it and see how accurate you were. In the interests of science.

I can't be arsed though so if someone else wants to take on this exciting opportunity to make a scientific breakthrough, have at it.

I'm still laughing and what a good idea as I'm a psychology graduate lol. You couldn't make it up. What a witty bunch you are!

I think 17 years working in a psychology department may have influenced the suggestion 🤣🤣

I don't think I'll watch the next series. There's just no comeuppance for the bullying that's going on. Courting the toxic drama and not calling it out isn't something I find entertaining.

This.

I've actually just complained to Ofcom. Never done that before!

The bullying and abusive behaviour is just so so wrong to be displayed on tv for entertainment.

Lots of their viewers will be young girls inexperienced in love and relationships.

Absolutely disgusting.

dapsnotplimsolls · 22/10/2024 00:04

Awesome!

DoYouReally · 22/10/2024 00:06

Stephen & Hannah were actually really well suited. They are both extremely immature, dramatic and not the wisest.

RIchelle is such a disappointment - she looks like a classy, intelligent lady but she really let herself down. I don't like Orson either and think it is fake but there's no way she should have been allowed continue to speak to him that way.

Sasha is great, fair play to her, on so many counts - dealing with both Alex and Ross.
Ross is a disappointment.

I actually like Casper and Emma would wreck my head.

The Olly's are a bad combination. I think Holly is much nicer than Polly and wonder what she would be like if she was in her on. Kind of reminds me of a bad influence teenage friendship. Hope Holly finally realises Alex is scary - very controlling and has a shit attitude towards women.

Not sure many will make it to the final commitment ceremony but if the show ends earlier than expected it wouldn't be a great loss.

dapsnotplimsolls · 22/10/2024 00:09

It's taken this long to get rid of any couples. Maybe they'll start dropping like flies now. I can't see Emma and Poshlid staying beyond next week. Holly will no doubt change her mind again and stick with Alex.

Why is Sacha wearing a St Trinians uniform?

I just don't get Sacha. She is always showing off the goods and saying they love each other so why aren't they having sex with each other? She's another Peggy

“Someone else’s wife”
Hannah isn’t Stephen’s property 🤨

I agree, total shit. So angry that the 'experts' let Polly off the look for her shit behavior and let Richelle rant!

bumblenbean · 22/10/2024 00:23

As always some of these comments have had me literally LOLing.

But ... Nothing Orson has done could justify that total character assassination by Richelle. She's said he's unintelligent, unattractive, pathetic, embarrassing, an actor, fake, 'a cretin' and that everyone would describe him as 'Simple'. If a man was saying those things there would rightly be uproar. It was actually really uncomfortable to watch and it's pathetic that the ixperts do nothing.

Meanwhile Alex is simmering away in the corner like a pressure cooker with his disdainful and enraged scowls and mutterings, and Stephen is sneering at Hannah liking orson having basically said she's a terrible person and he never wants to speak to her again.

Then we have Polpot gaslighting everyone jnto thinking she was welcoming to Hannah (wtf?!) while simultaneously coercing shitlid into some kind of weird hostage situation, and Emma flogging a horse that's been dead for about a decade.

Shannon and Kristina both look like they're about to have some kind of breakdown and even Ryan is giving off quite aggressive vibes now too.

The whole thing is an utter shit show. Surely the producers need to take some kind of responsibility for pairing people with toxic, abusive spouses?! But no, the ixperts just sit there nodding and looking vaguely concerned ...

I will of course continue to watch it

PerfectYear321 · 22/10/2024 00:31

I'm watching behind but I think you are all being mean about Luke. He's been decent in this process.

PerfectYear321 · 22/10/2024 00:32

Luke can do much better than Amy in my opinion. I get the vibe that she's got a boyfriend on the outside

VivienneDelacroix · 22/10/2024 00:36

Tittat50 · 21/10/2024 23:00

The most concerning thing of all this evening for me is Alex. Why is he not pulled up by the ixperts. His behaviour is absolutely appalling, misogynist and scary.
He is like a raging 3 year old in a gigantic forehead / body.

I agree Alex was the worst of all of them tonight. He's far worse than a child though, I genuinely get domestic abuser vibes from him. I don't think any producer with a duty of care should allow Holly to go back to their flat with him. The way he called Lacey a snake - there was something very threatening about it. I wouldn't want my daughter in a flat with him.

WallaceinAnderland · 22/10/2024 02:10

Totally not the focus of tonight's drama but...

Why did the ixpert Paul say to Polpot that 'potential' is non starter. 'If you are looking for potential in a partner, you might as well go home now'

Surely that is the whole basis of the show.

Especially when Mel went on to say to K&K that their relationship has real potential Confused

User364837 · 22/10/2024 07:02

might be controversial and I feel for both K & K a lot, but wonder if Kieran could feel justified in feeling a bit let down by the show? He’s been matched with someone who is lovely but has a mental health condition which seemingly has a massive impact on her live and changes her personality for a period of time every month, and sounds like anyone would struggle to maintain a relationship in that scenario. Should Kristina have gone on the programme? Imagine if she had someone less understanding than him!

Sallyingon · 22/10/2024 07:06

So it's all over then.
Gaston's sulking cos Amy fancies Nath.
Nath's not daft enough to move anywhere near Mumma Bear.
Holly's finally seen the light about the appalling Alex.
Ross isn't worthy of Sasha.
Shitlid and Poshlid are never going to fancy their wives.
Ryan's aggression is scary too.
And the Ks are coldsore and PMDD'd into the friend zone.
Game over. Well done Ixperts. Can't believe how poorly they handled it last night. Total shit show

User364837 · 22/10/2024 07:08

I didn’t like how the ‘experts’ were trying to push Nafe to say he loved Lacey. And I thought he played that well 😆

As Ryan is becoming more comfortable there, he is becoming quite worryingly aggressive.

I hate the whole 'my woman' thing. It's creepy. Otherwise he's ok.
