I know I shouldn't watch this but I probably will. Can't beleive Kelly Brook is going to be one of the presenters - I thought she was all Hollywood now. And I thought Jayne Middlemiss was way too cool to be involved in something like this too.

LOL. Thanks Pinotmum. She looks like she'd eat him for breakfast. I thought she might go in there with Calum, or maybe ITV would get more action than they had bargained for?!

Pinotmum · 07/06/2005 10:01

I don't think Lee's going to be comfortable in there. He was whispering to Abi the night before the vote asking if she thought they would have to get it on when in there. They seemed to think they were a certainty. I think Abi was hoping for a bit more than a laugh with Lee but I think that's all he wanted in there. He's difficult to work out from what I've seen of this show.

Agree that Paul is a big jerk. He has no patience for wooing a girl, is like a child in that he wants immediate gratification, and clearly doesn't understand that a friendship is often the best way to start a love relationship. And what was he on about....."I think I could marry this girl" (meaning Nikki!)

Do you think the viewers really voted Nikki in, or perhaps the show's producers engaged in a bit of manipulation for dramatic effect?

Watched a little bit of the "live feed" last night before bed. It showed Lee and Nikki chatting in the love shack. She said that she trained as a dental assistant, and wanted to be an orthodontist but decided against it as the study was lengthy. Quite a leap from dental assistant to Playboy centrefold!

Anyway, she seemed pleasant enough, but certainly fits the California girl stereotype of gorgeous, blonde, fab figure, air headed, superficial, giggly, self absorbed......and that awful speaking voice of a nasal Valley Girl.

Lee is so laid back that I doubt he'd initiate any physical shenanigans with Nikki. But, we might have seen sparks fly if Fran had been in there. Doubt he'd hold back! And, thank goodness it's not Paul in there with her. Can you imagine how much we'd all be cringeing?

Now on the subject of Lee - who did he play football for? Was he any good? When did he retire? I somehow missed out on his football career....has he done anything of note since he retired?

fifilala · 07/06/2005 11:18

despite normally hating reality tv me and DH have become (almost) addicted and thought last night was absolutely hilarious, Paul - what a shallow boy he is and as for "Shabby" she just looked gobsmacked - was almost about to walk off hand in hand with Lee untill the results were read out!

Lizzylou · 07/06/2005 11:21

Earlybird, Lee played football for Man Utd, then his wild partying ways caught up with him and he moved around a lot, he was at Leeds for a time.....he also played for England.......
I was majorly in luuurrrve with him during my teens.....I think he's lovely!

Earlybird · 07/06/2005 11:59

lizzylou - thanks for the Lee background. He hardly portrays himself now as the partying type, so maybe he was wild in his youth! I also can't imagine him having the energy/fitness to be a footballer as it's rare that he manages to rouse himself off the sunlounger! Having said that, he's my favourite man on the show - though as I said before, I'm gutted that he seems to be interested in Abi!

Gobbledigook · 07/06/2005 15:43

Lee frequented my 6th form 'haunt' in the early 90's (pub in Hale, Cheshire) - lucky me!

Was PMSL at Paul last night going on about Nikki being 'marriage material'! OMG! How sad is he? And all that crap when he was lying next to her on the bed about her eyes and saying 'you stunner, you'. Creeeeeepy! Poor bella!

And what is it with that Nikki sleeping...OH and did you see her come out of the shower with a handful of hair that she stuffed in her bag??? Odd.

I actually felt sorry for Abi last night.

And I'm surprised to find myself liking Kelly Brook - she seems quite down to earth and 'unaffected' which is nice.

lilybird · 07/06/2005 15:45

i missed the hair thing? but she does seem an oddball! poor lee!

Earlybird · 07/06/2005 15:59

Gobbledigook - lucky you to have such good scenery with Lee right on your doorstep!

I also missed the hair thing - do you think maybe Nikki's got hair extensions, and she's saving the "fake" bits for some reason? She did explain to Lee last night that she's been sleeping so much because she's completely wiped out with jetlag. Maybe that's why she allowed Paul to paw her!

Tommy · 07/06/2005 17:06

I thought Paul sounded like he was talking to a puppy or something! "You 're lovely aren't you..." - what the? He's also told her that he's been in movies and trained as a masseur
I also PMSL when Nikki went in the love shack and not Abi.
I'm also really glad that I am not the only person watching this - eveyone I know in RL is shocked that I'm watching it and then I have to explain it all to them!

diane77 · 07/06/2005 18:59

i havent laughed so much in ages, when abi didnt get in the love shack, she doesnt deserve to anyway she could make up her mind who she wanted in their anyway silly cow!!

How hilarious was that episode!?

And what a complete tw*t Paul is - Jeez, I've never seen anything like it!

Puff · 07/06/2005 22:48

gdk, what happened - we missed it - doh!

Puff · 07/06/2005 22:52

anyone? aaagggrhh!

Did abi cry a lot (tee hee, cackle cackle)?

Gobbledigook · 07/06/2005 22:53

Lee Sharpe is having the nightmare of his life because Nikki is so vacant and boring! He is begging in the 'diary room' (or whatever they call it on there!) for them to do something! He heard Abi in there talking to the camera and burst in shouting 'she went to bed at quarter to nine!' and then later broke free and ran to the main resort where they all ran up to him - hugs all round (Abi threw herself at him, jumped up, legs round his waist!!).

Paul and Bella have gone on a day trip but it turns out it's overnight on a desert island!! They had a massive row on the boat on the way there with Paul shouting 'you're just jealous because I don't fancy you' - ha ha ha ha, since when!? Oh that's right, since Nikki came in! Apparently he looks into her eyes and just knows she is someone he can 'properly go out with'. Yawn!

He has a serious problem!

Puff · 07/06/2005 22:58

Ooh, thanks gdk, sounds like I missed a juicy episode - darn it!

Gobbledigook · 07/06/2005 23:01

I was in stitches! Make sure you catch it tomorrow!

Puff · 07/06/2005 23:01

Yes, will do!

Tommy · 07/06/2005 23:07

couldn't believe Paul tonight. I seriously wonder how much (or little) it would take for him to get violent.....

Willow2 · 07/06/2005 23:08

This is worryingly addictive.

It has crossed my mind that Nikki could just be horribly jetlagged.

Gobbledigook · 07/06/2005 23:08

He is definitely a bit scarey.

Tommy · 07/06/2005 23:16

Even my DH has expressed an opinion on Paul - thinks he's an idiot.
The whole thing is addictive - I will be glad when it's over and I can spend all my evenings on MN again instead of wasting them watching crap telly

JoolsToo · 07/06/2005 23:18

Paul is - well a man - but what about Isabella - god I could smack her one - poor me, poor me - she led him on then got all umpty and now she's jealous - silly cow!

Gobbledigook · 07/06/2005 23:18

I know what you mean but Paul is seriously twisted!
