Place your best on who’s going to survive final vows.

Rhi & Jeff

Er yeah that’s it.

Also, I like Jamie, but i think her whole chirpy "I'm just a curious sod, me!" act was really disingenuous. How was her decision any different to Paul's?

She wore her Vans not date shoes, and had her tits covered .....

Seriously, she only has eyes for Dave, she lights up when she is around him, when she says she wants to go just for the nosey, I fully believed her.

Because he doesn’t care! Oops random comment. I meant Dave wasn’t bothered about Jamie going on the date, because he doesn’t care that much for her.

I reluctantly agree. I think he'll see through to the commitment ceremony, say yes, then disappear on her in the hopes of a media career elsewhere. Ditto Adrian.

She just shouldn't have gone.

I think Awhina has been making up for the time she lost having settled down with her high school boyfriend and having a baby at a young age. That's why she stayed for couples' retreat and then glossed over all the poor behaviour. But she's being forced to face reality now the fun's over.

if she'd managed to just think of him as a holiday fling it would have been better. Rather than trying to get him to commit and then being very disappointed

brexel · 02/05/2025 11:20

I hate myself but I'll probably watch that virgin programme

Agreed. I feel sticky and greasy just looking at it.

Do they think they're mermaids?

I assume so. However in reality it gives off 'just got off a long shift in the fish and chip shop' vibes.

I have liked Awhina but I’ve absolutely no sympathy for her at this point. She’ll have a string of crap men in and out of that child’s life.

Edited

Hope not. I like Awhina on the whole, but her focus on 'finding a father' for her son is worrying and she now seems to be getting desperate to couple up with someone because there's 'so little time' to date on the outside.

Just out the of the sea vibes I think

I think Jamie and Dave both went in wanting media careers out of this. I think it was a bonus for them that they really got on and it opened up the possibility of a relationship. I think her timing of saying she loved him after upsetting the group at the retreat was somewhat manipulative and she sabotaged the relationship up to a point. The 'trying' to get back on track is half hearted from both of them. Sad really because there might have been something before it all went a bit mad

Italiangreyhound · 02/05/2025 12:15

*AJLOAL perhaps best to wait for reunion then Google MAFSAU who was Jamie's date that did not turn up. *

Trying to wrap my head around Dave thinking Paul’s out of order for meeting another match out of curiosity, before dashing back to Carina. But Jamie did the same thing to him (as did Ryan and Jacqui to each other) and that’s not a problem? 🤨

And while Awhina felt she failed, it helped her get some perspective on how little Adrian cares.

The difference is Dave isn't into Jamie and he basically told her so. He's acting for the cameras. This acting extends to telling off the men all the time for their bad behaviour. I guarantee he wouldn't do this in real life.

Anyway, Jamie meeting her match is nowhere near the same as Paul. Same way nobody blamed Ryan for wanting to meet his.

SagaNorensPorche · 02/05/2025 07:10

Far too much Carina and Paul tonight - so
dull going over the same thing constantly. I’m probably a lone voice here but I find Jeff and Rhi incredibly boring and Jeff particularly is so smug. Also it was a task - like Jamie, I think I’d have gone out of curiosity too so can’t see the issue tbh.

Jeff is definitely a smug married!

And even Rhi said she feels 'proud' of them. Which is an odd thing to say about your relationship

PerfectYear321 · 02/05/2025 12:29

CuttedPearPie · 02/05/2025 07:46

Yesterday has to win the prize for most boring episode of all time? After 20 min of pre-dinner filler, we then had 20 min of Paul justifying himself. I can't be the only one who finds him and Carina really boring, despite the "high drama"? Honestly my eyes were glazing over. It was just the same argument for a full 20, and I just wasn't invested at all.

Also, I like Jamie, but i think her whole chirpy "I'm just a curious sod, me!" act was really disingenuous. How was her decision any different to Paul's?

I don't see a problem with Adrian. He's been blunt from the start. He needs to learn to soften his delivery but ultimately he has never bullshitted Awhina, a la Dave, has he? He told her from week 1 he wasn't sure whether he could handle stepping in for someone's kid. Last night he clearly told her he would potentially move across the country for the right person and at this stage, he couldn't say whether that was really her. When pushed, he gave her a flat "no". It hurts and it's brutal, he could have been gentler in how he said it, but he isn't future faking her. I think Awhina is so upset because there are a lot of people who will be going to final vows with sham relationships, unfortunately Adrian has broken the news to her ahead of time. Maybe she was hoping to get that final vow big moment.

Agree about Adrian. Don't agree about Jamie

RancidRuby · 02/05/2025 14:22

I'm also really bored of Jeff and Rhi. Every scene with them is just them saying the same boring shit over and over again - I'm really happy with the way our relationship is going, I can't believe how we came into this friend zoned and now look at where we are! They say the same thing multiple times every single episode and there's nothing new to say, enough already.

Plus, the more time goes by the more I think Jaime isn't that into Dave. I do sense their carefully curated personas went when she was aggressive at the retreat. She stepped a boundary, he stepped back.

greengreyblue · 02/05/2025 07:14

Rhi and Jeff are lovely. Just wish she’d lay offf the Botox then her face may have more expression.

Jeff’s laughing face is exactly like the emoji one! 😆
