Very sorry to say I am also too old for Elliot!

Adding myself to the tragic heap of too olds for Eliot 😭

mewkins · 16/04/2025 23:07

That was an awkward read through for Paul😆

I think Carina probably is a bit of a princess though and they're an odd couple.

Is it just me or do a lot of the women have something against athwina? She seems nice- is it because she's got a kid that they think they can look down on her?

Oneandahalfonagoodday · 16/04/2025 23:14

Surely anyone over the age of 23* is too old for Eliot? 😜

*according to Eliot!

Oneandahalfonagoodday · 16/04/2025 23:16

I’m really not sure I get this program anymore; let’s match up all these people and then spend the next few months trying to smash them apart 🤪

murasaki · 16/04/2025 23:25

Was it just me or did Carina have a tattoo on her arm? Which given her comments on Cleo is a bit much.

Empress13 · 16/04/2025 23:34

Has Dave had a personality transplant? What have we missed? He’s like a completely different person from how he was with Jamie before it’s like he can’t even look at her anymore! Vic the actress so wants him it was nauseating to watch poor Eliot don’t stand a chance!

Veggielepsy · 16/04/2025 23:38

There is something about Awhina I don't love. I think has a holier than thou quality.

For instance, it was clear that Carina reacted cattily in private about someone close to home whom her creepy partner had shagged.

Not ideal and Awhina is entitled not to be happy about it in the moment. But it looks like a huge meal will be made of that one comment at the dinner party.

She was also getting stuck in with Lauren but knew when to shut up so Jamie was the only one left making the point.

She's very good at looking sweet and a bit of a victim e.g. when she knows full well there's no future with Adrian and they're both just along for the shagging but gives with the sad eyes when he's being a prick.

Speaking of Adrian, it looked like he was doing well but was downright mean with Jamie telling her Dave would be interested in a better looking woman. That was shitty and unkind also smug as the one thing his marriage has had is sex

¹¹I agree with this comment." I cant warm to her something is off. It's not the fact she has a child that doesn't bother me. Did bother me they matched her with someone who didn't seem to want a child.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 16/04/2025 23:56

Yeah I’m not mad about Awhina criticising Carina for still living at home and being in her family business, seemed a low blow.

JellyBeanSpring25 · 17/04/2025 00:25

And still no criticism or feedback to Adrian about how he treated Awhina.

Remind me - who was he playing footsie with earlier in the series?
Victoria needs to join the crazy club with RyRy and Jacqui. She’s mad.

Dave and V definitely fumbled, the giggly glow gave it away.

But didn’t she only say that because of what Paul told her?

Paul is the one that started all this and if someone told me someone said my sister or daughter was essentially of low calibre, simply because she dated, many years ago the man you’ve been fake married to for 6 weeks, I’d saying much worse than what Awhina said, trust me on that.

I don’t particularly like carina, and I do think it was out of order to say that about Cleo but in her defence she wasn’t expecting her twerp husband to go blabbing to Awhina.

I'd still be willing to give it a go, but I'm 41 and he wants kids doesn't he? Bugger.

FergoMcFergFace · 17/04/2025 07:21

I think with Awhina it's the ridiculous turnaround from being done with Adrian to being all over him again within 24 hours. Especially when she was talking about the precious time she was sacrificing with her son. Fair enough - go on a TV show, have some fun. I'm sure he's being well looked after. But don't labour that point then go back to someone who's treated you appallingly.

EdithBond · 17/04/2025 07:33

CrystalMighty · 16/04/2025 22:49

I'm surprised nothing was made of Paul's 'got the ick' comments, unless I missed something?. That would be the worst part for me in Carina's shoes. But the way he essentially slagged her off, after appearing (revoltingly) obsessed and smitten with her in all other scenes, was unb*. Then he went straight back to being slimy all over her again when she came back.

As someone else has said - serial killer vibes.

ETA *unbelievable (stupid phone)

Edited

It’s his constant handsiness find tres off-putting. I’m pretty tactile, but the endless touching seems controlling and possessive.

He wouldn’t leave her alone after the punching incident. And that in itself was possessive anger after she joked about who she’d shagged.

Giving vibes of locking you in the basement and keeping you all for himself to touch 😱

100%. She shouldn’t have mentioned her son, then stayed to be with someone who treated her so badly.

I think they’re both staying for the exposure. Especially Adrian. He’s all about promoting himself, hence the hissy fit over the promo video. I think that’s why he shit stirred with Jamie and Big Dave, and prob will with Carina and Paul - to derail the stronger couples and come out as the ‘winner’, in terms of staying in a self-promoting couple when they get out.

I have no idea what she sees in him, unless he’s good in the sack.

FergoMcFergFace · 17/04/2025 07:51

They definitely made a pact to stay in after friends and family week.

Delatron · 17/04/2025 08:15

Agree, my issue with Awhina is that she stayed with Adrian after he’s been so awful to her. She should be more discerning when she has a son and less likely to be there just for the sex.

Carina said something nasty (can’t remember what) about her twin sister. Of course she’s going to be pissed off about that.

Veggielepsy · 17/04/2025 08:50

Awhina is is of course going to be pissed off at hearing anything against her (TWIN) sister but it's the fact that it was said in confidence and Carina immediately said (to Paul so will presumably to her too) 'i didn't mean/shouldn't have said that, was just insecure ' and it appears that Awhina makes a big fuss at the dinner party tonight 'sje owns her own home etc etc'. It may not play out like that but she seems to make the most of being badly and things being difficult.

I can see Awhina as the type who is always in the local paper a sad face for easily avoided issues with the council.

Veggielepsy · 17/04/2025 08:51

Being badly done to**

FergoMcFergFace · 17/04/2025 09:27

If I were Awhina, I'd be annoyed at what Carina said but I'd also be wondering why TF Paul told me.

ExtraPaddingForFallingOver · 17/04/2025 09:28

I wonder how Awhina’s son is, surely he’s all the way over in Perth. Is all this (Adrian 🤮) really worth it? I know it’s probably not as long as it seems, but I’d be in bits, pining now.

‘….and the Oscar goes to…..’ bravo Eliot!

This series has been an uncomfortable watch at times, with some awful behaviour, but I wish I could have watched something like this in my 20’s. It would have been so helpful, to not waste time on duds.
Listening to Dave b_llshit Jamie when she was just asking for honesty and he’s coming back with words like ‘hurtful’ or saying ‘that’s a terrible thing to say’ when it’s obvious his head has been turned……..we’ve all experienced these blame games in early relationships

Yeah I don’t like Carina so I’m with Awhina on this one. Nothing is said in confidence on this program- it’s on TV. It was a nasty thing to say. If someone criticised my family then yes I’d be pissed off and challenge them if I found out. For sure she will bring it up at the dinner party. It will kick off - just like the producers want..

She shouldn’t have said it. Conflict might be avoided if she apologises and say it was down to jealousy..we’ll
see.

Agree Awhina is a bit poor me and I’m very cross with her for sticking with Adrian. But understand why she would stick up for her twin.

Delatron · 17/04/2025 09:32

Paul is also at fault for stirring and writing that letter. Though Carina appears to have let him off…

dapsnotplimsolls · 17/04/2025 09:36

Question - who is now the worst: Adrian, Paul or Ryan?
