Are there no nice kind men in Oz? None?

JellyBeanSpring25 · 11/03/2026 23:44

Thank you so much @dapsnotplimsolls for thread 2. I’m usually good at starting them when I see the announcements of airing date but I don’t watch until gone 10pm. When I looked here before work, thread 1 was at 930+ so too soon to enable #2. Thank you x

Sooooo, tonight’s shambles…

Poor Brooke paired with naysayer Chris, she’s seemed lovely and has been sold a pup.

Bec was totally pissed and a drunk shag is never a good idea, Danny had the morning-after-the-night-before regrets.

Princess ✂️🪨🧻 with flapping hands, wtf was that all about?

Lambo man and pastatits will be getting it on, didn’t she say she didn’t like ‘vanilla’ sex, lord knows what shenanigans they’ll get up to.

Boatboy and his dodgy tummy. Yeah. Right.

First dinner party next Tuesday (☘️) so still two nights of weddings to attend/endure.

JaneJeffer · 11/03/2026 23:48

I am shocked to catch up with this thread and see that not one person has said Danny’s anaconda don’t want none. He reminds me of Conor McGregor 🤢

It does look like that. Although, I dated a 6ft guy with 29" inside leg in trs and a 5ft 9 guy with 31" inside leg in trs.

Regarding height, did she say she's 5ft 9"? Quite small for modelling. I'm a fair bit taller, same height as DH. We don't care that I'm taller even in Birkenstocks or just because I stand up straighter. Some blokes are so insecure.

Re Bec - she reminds me of Judy Tszuke. Late 70s singer of 'Stay with me til Dawn' fame

She does have quite 70s looks.

Reminds me of Sally Thomsett in Man About The House.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 12/03/2026 01:36

At first I didn’t like Bec as she massively overreacted at the wedding, but now I feel sorry for her as Danny has massively backed off since they had sex. He’s already checked out.

Interestingly of my 3 female Australian friends two have married other nationalities and the other had a baby on her own, so I’m going to assume there are none. Not one.

(except the Hemsworth Brothers obvs. If they ask tell ‘em I had only good things to say about them).

FriendofDorothy · 12/03/2026 07:27

I said I wasn't going to get sucked in, but here I am again.

all that drama that was alluded to at the end of the first episode with a bride weeping the she didn't want her husband to be arrested on her wedding day? Was that bullshit in relationship to Bec and Danny? Or was that another couple?

MyTrivia · 12/03/2026 07:38

Oh I love this season already - the people are so interesting to me.

I get the feeling the Danaconda is going to refuse going back there...

Snort!!!!

How come most are in Australia for their honeymoon, lol

I want Thailand or Bora Bora not the same damn country 😂

I’d certainly want a door on the en-suite, rather than a curtain, when I’m sharing with a strange man who’s got tummy ache.

HumBumBum · 12/03/2026 08:09

Jumping on to the thread, still a little behindert OMG I’ve missed this!!!

whiteumbrella · 12/03/2026 08:48

Chris has been matched with someone who far exceeded his check list and now he’s stumped bwahaha

MargoLivebetter · 12/03/2026 08:58

Thank you @dapsnotplimsolls for the new thread, which is already 17 pages long. Love that we all have so much to say about this show 😂

I think Bec is quite funny and it is a shame she is so riddled with insecurity because her dry, witty side is cracking. She and Wide Boy Danny definitely shouldn't have done the deed so fast but hey ho it was almost worth it for the Anaconda comment!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting insincere dickhead vibes off Wide Boy. Hoping I'm wrong.

Princess Pink is getting on my tits. Who flaps their hands like that for Rock, Paper, Scissors? FFS. Baleful Blue needs to tell her to belt up now.

Cynical Chris and Pollyanna! Hmmm, could be interesting. He's a bitter pill though, so I hope he doesn't poison her.

Getting really tragic vibes from Heehaw and Boatboy. His dicky tummy and crapper concerns was so off-putting. Surely everyone knows that is what the loo in reception is for?!

Ophir · 12/03/2026 09:09

@MargoLivebetter Pollyanna is perfect!

Imagine on purpose because he threw shade on the show and “ixperts”.

Quite likely Brook’s there to boost her modelling career/get into TV. So unlikely to be much interested in anyone she’s paired with. And will be good company, mature in the face of his moaning/arseholery and have the patience of a saint to make herself look good. Plus, other couples will love her.

So, he’ll have absolutely zero to moan about and be left looking like a tool, while the ixperts get their sanctimonious revenge by flaming his attitude.

thenightsky · 12/03/2026 10:00

Catching up this morning. I reckon Boatboy's dicky tummy is the new Kieran's coldsore (a perfect reason to avoid intimacy).

Stickytoffeetartt · 12/03/2026 10:52

So much drama already. I never want to cross an angry Aussie 🤣
From what I remember of the earlier series- the dinner parties were shown on a Friday night. Then it changed to a Monday night. So there must not be one until Monday week then if there are more weddings to watch? Boo

I’m confused with the scheduling too. But I did see on E4 this morning I think a repeat. Not sure of which one though.

Stickytoffeetartt · 12/03/2026 10:57

Hopefully they'll show the dinner parties on a Thursday , Monday's don't have dinner party vibes for me 🤣

All of this. Looking forward to seeing him being thoroughly shown up by the delightful and gorgeous Brooke!

I suspect in Aus it was shown Mon to Fri with dinner parties every Friday. If we are getting shown 4 episodes a week instead of 5 we will get the first dinner party on a Monday then the second one on a Tuesday, the third on a Weds etc.

Can you imagine if they'd gone full Big Bang Theory and made it 'rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock'? They'd still be going.

miss the laughing emoji @murasaki

FryingPam · 12/03/2026 14:12

Only 3 episodes in and I’m
hooked already…and I have no idea why? I normally don’t enjoy the first few wedding episodes because they are rather boring. With the UK version, I skipped them completely and I never really got into the last series, but Australia for some reason always has me invested from the start. I’d love to know their secret!
