I’m a bit late to this thread. A few random thoughts:
Carina saying Paul had the rest of his life to regret his actions was naive at best. She shouldn’t have said that but - it sounded rather arrogant. Most people would guess that he would move on very quickly after turning his humiliation (at himself) into hate for her. It’s all so predictable. He’s behaving in a horrid way which reveals the scale of the escape she has managed to make here.
What the heck was Jacqui going on about re the lingerie shots together with Ryan before she then went off him? Since when was being able to do lingerie shots a sign a relationship was good? And they couldn’t have both attended each others funerals. Not in person anyway… madness.
The ‘one bedroom shit house’ comment from Clint about Ryan was absolutely disgusting. Whatever you think of him, his home was his pride and joy and it seems quite likely he is going to spend the rest of his life alone in it so why the utter nastiness? What a massive lack of class from Clint. Love the comment up thread that he is so poor he only has money.
Adrian showed Awhina those texts so why is she getting the hard time off Sierah - he is the one who has betrayed her by sharing them in the first place. What a shame Awhina wasn’t paired with her runner up - at least he would have known what she did for a living before the first month together was up. Adrian might not be dumb but he has behaved in a somewhat unintelligent way - it’s all about semantics.
Can you imagine the show with decent, emotionally intelligent, civilised and well mannered singles? The success rate would probably be the same but it would be so dull. Let’s admit we will miss Jacquie and Ryan’s utter madness, the drama, the villains and the heroes.
Carrying on a previous poster’s analogy with pantomimes, and Sierah being the wicked witch -
Awhina - Cinders
Jamie - Fairy Godmother
Jacquie - a weird distorted Tinkerbelle
Adrian - The villain who appears with a puff of smoke
Dave - Buttons
Lauren and Clint - ugly step-sisters (although neither were actually ugly)
Prince Charming - Jeff
Ryan - Malvolio type character (ok I diverted us to Shakespeare for a minute) or a clown (sorry but those matching outfits!)
