What really annoys me about this show is how the "experts" drone on about accountability but not one of them actually apologises to the person who's had their time wasted by the narcissists they are matched with.

I hope Katie gets a second chance or atleast some compensation for this shit show of a match because it can be pretty damaging to be involved with someone like Tim.

He is, it's a comment that anyone could make

He's just not able to read a room

But also - it was nasty so 🤷

It's the way he got so moody and defensive when called out on it. Any normal person would apologise that their 'joke' hadn't been received the way he intended

I haven’t even got there yet, with app crashes and millions of adverts

Ryan & Jacqui have just sat down and we’re back to commercial break 🙄

There’s a lot of ads. And some weird ones.. kfc encourages cannibalism? But I didn’t think that was real as I was drowsy.

mewkins · 17/03/2025 22:20

I hate the stupid rating task. I feel like everyone is totally set up. Jake's an idiot but he was clearly badgered into talking about the women by a producer. And yet they let Billy opt out of it.

category12 · 17/03/2025 22:24

I'm glad the bloke expert said it was gaslighting as previously when I've seen the show (haven't watched for a few series) they've been very mealy-mouthed about calling out behaviour.

murasaki · 17/03/2025 22:27

You could see Jamie felt validated as she hadn't been strongly backed at the dinner party. I was faintly surprised she wasn't part of the Katie group hug at the end.

browneyes77 · 17/03/2025 22:29

OMG.

Tim just does not stop.

After being told he’s done nothing but gaslighting, deflection and had a lack of accountability, his only response is “Well I feel like everything coming on me, and I’ve not been given anything back at all”.

Give me strength.

Im so glad he’s GONE! I’d have ended up smashing my tv if I’d have had to watch him anymore.

Yeah Katie, you need to change

It's time to grow up and stop victimising yourself

Agreed.Tim is unequivocally awful. But she doesn’t help herself.

browneyes77 · 17/03/2025 22:30

Wait WTF did Ryan just say to Jacqui at the end? “That would be a lie” if he told her she looked hot?

That dude needs to stop watching Andrew Tate.

Would you not think the ixperts would ask the question re matching someone with someone who has kids first ?

category12 · 17/03/2025 22:36

Jacqui's crying always looks really put on.

Ryan's such a hypocrite though, when she spoke about godlike ex he was totally un self aware complaining.

Some of these pp remind me of the episode in Friends when Phoebe acts as Joey's agent and one piece of feedback he gets is " not believable as a human being "...!😂

Exactly this, yes hes awful but she seems very good at being the victim, like she's got it down pat

Yeah exactly - like he thinks that someone else would be able to say it, why not him

I suspect that Jake knows where he will have been in the ratings done by women, and suspects that a higher ranking man would have got away with saying those things and it's not fair wah wah wah. Whereas they would have been called out too, but his pity party can't accept that.

100% he's on reddit analysing these situations with the other incels wondering how he can be like the 'alphas' 😭

As if women don't have to fear men enough already

And he'll still think it's about looks not personality, whereas, using Billy as an example, it isn't. He's getting more attractive to me the more he talks.

browneyes77 · 17/03/2025 21:25

Well the 4oD app has just crashed on me.

So that’s helpful….🙄🤯

I was trying to stream it the other night as I missed a couple eps and it kept crashing. Gave up in the end.

murasaki · 17/03/2025 23:29

Mine crashed once this evening but I'm not entirely sure it wasn't the cat's fault.

Yes completely agree

We can't help how we look but we can help how we act

And even the sexiest people can't get away with being a complete prick - Harrison from a few seasons ago

I am re-watching friends and I laughed out loud at your comment. Spot on.

tumpymummy · 18/03/2025 00:56

The worrying thing for me is that 2 of the most awful men, Jake and Tim, are teachers. Not very good role models. Jake said he spoke without thinking. Surely as a teacher you are trained to think very carefully about what you say before you open your mouth.

Empress13 · 17/03/2025 22:35

Yes, @Empress13 . That seems a basic question, doesn’t it? He’s not the bad guy because of that. As it’s kind of being made out.

And I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my kid. He’s so weird!

MargoLivebetter · 18/03/2025 10:12

That felt like a speedy gallop through the commitment ceremony. I guess when there are still so many of them in the ixperiment, they can't spend too long on each one.

Really glad Tim got his comeuppance, although I noticed he was still determined not to accept responsibility.

Ryry and the Grinch are as mad as a box of frogs. Looks like we have more madness to come with them too!

Jake gave off such sad sack vibes. I can't work out if he is plain stupid and unaware or actually deeply unpleasant. Ashleigh seems like she deserves better though.

Adrian, with so many Turkey teeth he can't speak properly is giving off weird vibes. Didn't buy his speech at all and Awhina is giving off desperate 'pick me' vibes too now. I'm sure it is going to be them packing their bags tonight.

Doubleraspberry · 18/03/2025 10:43

My money is on Jake just leaving. He is too embarrassed/resentful to carry on after the reaction to his comments. He looked horrified at the idea of staying last night.
