I feel like maybe there's a knob in her back which she turns to make it grow, wasn't there once a Barbie that did that?

I can see the merch range now... Mardy Bum Barbie 😄

Girl's World but maybe a Sindy as well?

Having read all the comments on last night's episode I've just sat down for the cringe-fest. I honestly think Dean is the most irritating man I've ever seen on the telly. His head wobbles when he talks as well. And he doesn't iron his clothes.

😂 I was looking at him and wondering how his clothes could be so crumpled and I’m not someone who irons if I can help it

Davide appears to be turning into Non from Superman 2

RobynRB wow, I was thinking Davide looked kind of ethereal tonight!

RobynRB · 03/10/2025 00:16

I was thinking Maeve's story arc was either -

a. She gets drunk on a girls night out and attacks another girl thus showing Joe her true colours whereafter he decides he can't hack having a pisshead girlfriend

or

b. He tells her not to get in other people's arguments, like happened last year IIRC.

b nearly happened tonight, but they seemed to avoid going off the rails, so I'm guessing it will be a then.

Just caught up. I had to psych myself up to watch it as I could tell it was going to be angry men and vulnerable women, again.

I actually think we should kick out the Icksperts and give Crystal the reigns next time. She was clear, strong and knew what she saw and thought. The three twats couldn't have missed all of the points more.

Grace doesn't just "not want to be told what to wear" she doesn't want to be with a man who has standards on how his woman dress - er love, your nails look a bit ropy you should get those done, or assume women only look dressed up in a dress. Somehow he thinks that him saying "I have sisters!" means he isn't being a misogynist, which sounds very like "but I have a black friend!" to me. I get he possibly doesn't see this as his dad probably spent his life giving his mum these little jibes of "advice" to make sure she "kept in shape" etc, but the Icks should have explained it's a deeper issue than just telling her what to wear.

I am so shocked they didn't restrain Steven and make him stay in another room. They must have had complaints about the c bomb yesterday - again another sign they missed how bad his behaviour was before airing - and to let Nelly go back to the apartment with him! What are they thinking?! He is seriously angry and aggressive and was laughing at her infront of everyone. Why do they think he is safe to live with!?

Poor Sarah, another off camera comment they didn't catch being sold as a terrible example of her witchery. Paul will be demanding we burn her tomorrow no doubt. Dean will just nod along like the Churchill Dog and pull "sad face" a bit.

JR did love the drama of that all but I am glad she was open about it. If she hadn't been I don't think the rest of the group would have told Nelly. The guys certainly weren't going to! Shame on them all for being such wimps and slaves to Master Weasel.

RobynRB · 03/10/2025 00:25

Leigh is doing my head in. She's so 'rigid' it's unbelievable. I'm sure if it ever gets the point of intimacy with Leah it will be strictly on her terms with the lights off and no funny stuff. Poor Leah looks like she's about had enough, but it's almost like a challenge now...

Pinkfluffypencilcase · 03/10/2025 02:44

Did anyone else notice Dean drop Sarah’s hand when they walked in? It didn’t look like a natural hand hold either.

Fedupoftheshits · 03/10/2025 07:34

These ixperts are dangerous. Enabling awful toxic behaviour from men and coercing people into being intimate is disgusting.

I know I watch this so I’m feeding the beast so to speak but this is so harmful.

Steven is a dangerous man and should have been booted off the show (along with many of the previous contestant who exhibited abusive behaviour).

The matching is a joke, about from a few couples everyone else hates each other!

EmeraldShamrock000 · 03/10/2025 07:51

Hmm the rib is iffy.
I broke two before and my goodness the pain was horrendous.
I hope he didn't shove her. The way he ignored her is awful. I hope it ends soon, he can get back to his Z lister.

menopausalfart · 02/10/2025 21:04

Looked like he'd wiped himself on it.

I wish they'd bring back the laughter emoji. 😂

EmeraldShamrock000 · 03/10/2025 08:07

JR was brilliant. Her DH should have backed her up.
I love style, not on me. 😅 she looks fabulous

opencecilgee · 03/10/2025 08:23

I believe the Z lister has made a tik tok about Steve tbis week saying he’s not a nice fella

opencecilgee · 03/10/2025 08:25

Not sure why a dress is necessary for the theatre Ashley

That would have pissed me off too

Discoprincess6 · 03/10/2025 08:36

I feel really sorry for Sarah. I feel like she’s been bullied into going into a relationship with Dean. She looks like the life is being sucked out of her. I wouldn’t continue with him. Not because of the way he looks, but because he is a person who always has to be the victim, feels sorry for himself plus I do find the rapping and singing cringey. Why does he have to be the centre of attention. The experts are bloody awful

slippingdowntheabyss · 03/10/2025 08:50

The ixperts are just puppets for this program. Its all about rating and the views. Notice how much you all go on about certain people. Then they will use against you all to watch next season. Stop watching and let then rating fall. But will you.
I know sometimes you want to sort of space out and watch useless stuff. But how is it really working for you in your life.

I had a boyfriend who’s wife before me was extremely glamourous, gym bunny, expensive clothes, aesthetic treatments, the full works, stunning and worlds apart from my puppy earth mother low maintenance style.
at first it felt like he found me refreshing and would be ever so complimentary about my look, my non gunned body etc and I’d always been pretty confident in my body and looks and accepting of my ageing process but as time went on, little comments he made, looks, suggestions, offers, gifts he bought of clothing and accessories completely different from my style and then what felt like insults in the form of backhanded compliments , I started spending way more money and time on grooming, fitness etc , eventually my self esteem eroded altogether and still it turned out he had a wondering eye for people who were way more focused on their looks than me. But yeah those little helpful suggestions made me feel shit about myself, I can see why she reacted.

TitsInAbsentia · 03/10/2025 09:22

Well that was def worth catching up on. Can't wait for the ixperts to explain away pound shop beckham's behaviour as upset 🙄 At present the only hope I have for this show is Joe and Maeve, and given it's still such early doors that hope isn't in large amounts.

Urgh all my typos. I cba to even 🫣

I’m only on Ep 5 so far. Marvel seems to have a very problematic relationship with alcohol. Despite his hard man looks, Joe seems nice.

lunaswand · 03/10/2025 10:02

I think Grace has a horrible chip on her shoulder & just needs to see the good in some of what Ashley says although there looks to be a fair bit that we don't see that was spoken about at the dinner party

I actually like Sarah & really hope her & Dean get there although I can't see it happening

StaySpicy · 03/10/2025 10:10

The thing that got me about Grace was that she's annoyed at Ashley for commenting on what she wears, her nails etc. but she bought him a lilac (didn't look lilac to me) shirt! So she can buy him things to wear but he can't comment on her at all.

Yeah, that's a bit odd. I almost wonder if Grace suddenly 'remembers' she's supposed to be a feminist every so often and suddenly takes offence. Maybe that's why Ashley is so confused...?

Florencesndzebedee · 03/10/2025 10:14

Julia-Ruth just wants lightness and fun all the time. She comes across as very immature with the hand clapping and giggles plus gaggle of happy friends. Divarni is a bit intense but he’s trying to get to know her on a deeper level.
