I hope nobody minds, but since I saw "lips, nips and crystal tips" in one of the comments, I just had to make it into a thread.

All these people need some damn good therapy tbh.

i thought the same, not a lot of give or take from most of them.

I'm sure I heard on the preview someone say 'oh no she's come on her own' who do we think might have bailed already?!

It was Anita on her own.

"Dont run away, dont run away, dont run away, dont run away, dont run away"

I wonder what the song was called?

How on EARTH did JR not ... run away?

Seriously dreadful

Urgh, Paul is such a tedious man. I wouldn't be able to put up with that.

Love how Bailey and his partner, whose name escapes me at this moment, have clicked. A lot of that alpha bollocks she comes out with is just part of the character she's playing. I think she's ok really.

I'm going with Leah / Leigh. I reckon they'll arrive separately.

It's amazing what being stuck in a room with a near death situation raging outside the walls can do for a couple's libido.

He does seem to be wearing her down.

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 29/09/2025 10:58

I wonder if Bailey is love bombing Rebecca. He seems OTT.

quiltyquilt · 29/09/2025 11:07

I think he is just a terrible bore with nothing to say

SignatureShortdeads · 29/09/2025 11:32

He tells her exactly what she wants to hear. It’s like he’s working from a script. It doesn’t come across as sincere in any way.

He’s been working on that for a while…
So he said 🤣🤣🤣

Runningismyhappyplace50 · 29/09/2025 11:48

This is my first time watching the uk versions- are they usually so mismatched?!

Anita and husband may be compatible on paper but one quick meeting with them both you would have known this wasn’t going to work. I assume the hosts meet all of the couples?

PollyDarton1 · 29/09/2025 11:51

I’ve caught up now. Paul is insufferable, has zero depth or interest. It’s all surface level and Anita to her credit keeps trying and seems invested in the experiment but how can you keep it up when someone talks in fucking riddles? I like her alot.

Bailey is so pushy - I genuinely think he’d say anything to bed Rebecca. He seems laser focused on fucking her beyond anything else.

Yes I think he is. She’s a perfectly average looking woman who looks to be in her 40’s with an immobile face filled full of Botox. His constant ‘your so beautiful’s’ seem very disingenuous. It’s the classic womaniser who knows what women like to hear so he’s just reeling her in and she’s falling for it. Every time he says it her tough,no nonsense face sort of goes all gooey and you can see it’s what she wants to hear.

Catsandcwtches · 29/09/2025 12:40

I think Rebecca is more good looking than the average person but Bailey’s attraction to her is very shallow and he would probably be all over his bride whoever she was. I’m mystified about why he apparently isn’t used to women not being interested, is it just because he’s tall? Or is he just making that all up?

I'll wager The Bargain Basement Beta Band will be at the dinner party, with Dirvani on keyboard, Old Dean and Young Dean rapping/crapping whatever it is they're attempting to do with giant grins to court the fame sponsorships.

The tortoises were the best bit. Even there I felt the male was only really there for the leaf he had accidentally dropped on her head that he couldn't quite tongue into his mouth, while she was just stuck there mute. It was weirdly symbolic of the show so far, I felt.

🤣 🐢

ExtraPaddingForFallingOver · 29/09/2025 14:05

I’m just getting my time machine out of the garage to go and rescue Anita -who’s coming with me?
She really has been handed a drippy, stinky bin bag here. The guy is an absolute prat. He is the ‘weekday afternoon Wetherspoon’ type, you dodge when you’re nipping into town quick!

I am surprised that Rebecca was duped so early into this by his shitty lines. Spark? She’s confusing that with lust 🤢

Had to giggle when JR was doing her theatrical bent over sobbing and then they cut to ‘if you’d like to appear on next year’s show’ 😁

Season 6 Ugh GIF by Parks and Recreation

This oap with daddy issues is a walking ick

Also, zero mention of his mum who stayed and raised his ungrateful arse. I wonder what the women in his life have to say about him

mumofoneAloneandwell · 29/09/2025 16:16

Just watching now after watching big brother last night

I am rooting for Hot Nan to find someone after this

murasaki · 29/09/2025 16:20

Anita seems nice, and up for new challenges, where as pound shop philosopher claims to be and clearly is not. So far I like her and Nelly best of the women. Although Grace is improving.

But there are weeks to go, so I'm sure they'll turn into shrieking harpies in the next month.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 29/09/2025 16:21

Daddy issues oap has the most beautiful daughter, shes gorgeous!

😭😭😭😭😭😭 omg divarni's song

mumofoneAloneandwell · 29/09/2025 16:49

So daddy issues oap is gay then 😄😄

What is he doing here honestly, poor Hot Nan

DarkRootsBlue · 29/09/2025 16:59

Paul would be Exhibit A in the case against women bothering to date in their 50s. Totally selfish and boring…the no questions, intending to sleep for 2 days, the attention seeking. Ugh. Anita deserves so much better.

I liked Divarni until he wheeled out his little keyboard.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 29/09/2025 17:01

I dunno, I feel like jr is a bit much 😕
