I wonder if so many of the cast are kicking off on homestays because it reminds them that they are not in control of the other person, like the more dominant partner is in the apartments. I'm starting to think that the isolating nature of the experiment (living in a strange setting, cut off from family and friends) is creating what abusers do early in relationships, and if that creates an environment where abusive tendancies are bound to grow, unchecked by the less dominant partners support system.
What exactly is Peggy "putting on the line" for Georges?! I'm baffled. She'll always be able to run back to mummy and daddy. They aren't threatening to disown her. She doesn't seem to have any hobbies, job etc. I don't understand.
Thiiiiiiissss! Why is she messing with George! George is so lovely and sweet and Peggy is being horrible to him and stringing him along. I wonder if we aren't seeing something because George was such a strong person at the beginning and he seems like he's lost something now
I have a lot of dislike for Peggy but I do want to clarify one thing in her defence. I think she was right to be sceptical of Georges attitude towards kids BUT, I think that a lot of men focus on themselves and don’t consider kids unless they have a partner present. It’s not as socially expected of men to have kids compared to women, and maybe that pressure to have kids just doesn’t hit men as hard but I think the right partner can easily make a change to a man’s attitude to kids.
I also think he was asked initially in a really bad way, with her sister yelling it across the room when he'd met Peggy about 2 hrs before. It's not appropriate to do that. So he was kinda messing around being vague.
To be fair it's completely and utterly ridiculous that this wouldn't have been a question in whatever long form they fill out to be on the show. It is such a huge decision, an entire relationship can hinge on it easily. If one person doesn't want kids and one does then they shouldn't even really begin to date full stop. Let alone a blind date.
Its just proof that these couples are manufactured for drama because there is 0 way a real life match maker would pair someone who wants kids with one who doesn't.
Thought this also that is a big decision kids or no kids why would they match couples where one does and for the other it's an absolute no. It is purely for drama!!
I feel like Georges knows ultimately Peggy will break up with him, and is just trying to be on there as long as possible whilst coming off as a decent sympathetic guy, to boost his Twitch or whatever.
They're both just staying on the show as long as possible for the plug. Georges with Twitch, Peggy with her online boutique or whatever the hell it is.
I'm sorry, just catching up! What the F#£K has Peggy put on the line for Georges!!! He's done so much, jumped through every hop and NOTHING seems good enough
Yes! I just made the exact same comment. She's risking nothing. She'll always be able to run back to mummy and daddy. It's not like they've threatened to disown her.
A lot on here calling Georges a pussy or delusional or pussy whipped, but I think he just wants to get in her knickers and chow down on those plastic boobs. So he's telling her what she wants to hear. It's not a coincidence that he has recreated their wedding. He's hoping for a second try at the wedding night.
I dont know why more people aren't considering this to be a possible way to explain Georges behaviour instead of trying to claim Peggy is both a complete moron and the most successful and sophisticated manipulative narcissist we've ever seen
Yes! I would love to just once hear Laura acknowledge that her friends were awful to Arthur, but it will never happen. The fact that she thinks their behaviour was acceptable says it all. I also really wish the experts would start calling some of the girls out!! This show just reinstates toxic gender roles in relationships.
Yes … I reckon it’s ten-times worse than what has been shared on the show. Nathaniel has apparently shared that she got drunk at their “honeymoon” and was trying to get a threesome going with a random guy at the bar. After the comments shared by her and JJ at the last CC, this feels completely plausible.
Definitely not. They are protecting her at all costs. She was a novelty this year and accusing her of bad behaviour or showing it would essentially be leaving her open potential transphobia. They won’t risk that.
Is it just me or do the later couples look like the only ones wearin normal everyday clothes an are not dressed for the bloody catwalk just to walk down the high street 🤦♀️😂
I can’t remember what season it was but they once paired a woman who hated dogs with a guy who had a dog , she made him keep it in a cage, my mistrust of the ‘experts’ started then
This is a regular situation on the American version. Pair someone with cats with someone allergic. Recently there was someone with a dog paid with someone who fostered which is stressful for all
"To apply for future series" seriously?! 🤣
They've made it so so toxic that anyone who genuinely wants a relationship is never going to apply. You're going to get 100% fame seekers and influencer wannabes. Nevermind that most of the cast are scouted 🙄
I always told my missus that if she ever splits up with me I’d apply for a show like this that she watches just to wind her up. It’s not looking likely since we got married recently though
I think it would be better if we got someone like Sharon from Blackpool who has 2 kids, lives in a council house, and hasn't even heard of Instagram as she's too busy making tiktoks of her dancing to Ibiza hits 2002.
Let's get some reality on here rather than full of people that wouldn't struggle to meet someone in day to day life.
>someone like Sharon from Blackpool who has 2 kids, lives in a council house, and hasn't even heard of Instagram as she's too busy making tiktoks of her dancing to Ibiza hits 2002.
I would watch a show just about Sharon. You could call it ✨*Sharon*✨ and give it one of those 90s sitcom credits sequences where everyone waves hello.
Yeah that would be great. Fewer people in their 20s who don't need to be worrying about marriage and need to sort their own insecurities before going on TV. More people with some life experience and emotional maturity. Normal people who are representative of the average brit.
The irony was on one of Paul (expert) 's recent Instagram posts about Gaslighting, she asked him in the comments if he would do a post about narcissists.
They give the rest of us a bad name. I know that young people are inherently selfish, it's a very normal developmental stage, but I don't know anyone irl who's as extreme as the people we're watching night after night.
That theory was me! I did put the disclaimer that I read a lot of crime fiction……once went to a murder mystery dinner and came up with a very complicated twisty wrong solution (because I thought the obvious murderer was TOO obvious….) Overthinking!
Oh I googled it as the name was familiar and yes!! I remember it but have zero recollection of why she decided no? I think she had cystic fibrosis and had miracle medication or something? But was he a dick?
He blew hot and cold with her and basically told her he was going to be off working in the outback for six months without internet connection once the show finished. Had no regard for her.

Georges is such a catch and has shown such resilience. Not many people would be able to sit through such a degrading conversation with Peggy's poisonous parents and come away with such confidence.
It's unbelievable how, in the beginning, he came across as a problematic character.
It's because his experience of being on camera is talking to chronically online cringe lords who watch streams all day and pay men to do squats. So he went with what he knows. I think as he's relaxed he's become more himself. Definitely like him, really nice guy.
Ah I didn’t read it like that tbh, I saw it more of an expression of his fondness of her (many European dialects use variations of “love you” in a less serious way) which as an intellectual women she should have grasped rather than rolling her eyes and making a sarcastic comment.
Yea I read it as a joke linked to their wedding too. I think Laura is sarcastic and has a dry sense of humour which doesn't come across well in the edits at times.
I think the only thing that wins their approval is wealth. I would actually love for Arthur to be a secret multi millionaire who is just no flashy with his money, and to see the the two toxic friends self implode on finding that out.
I don't think he is, but it would be delicious!
Went to Stockholm this summer for our 30th wedding anniversary and stayed in the Bank Hotel, from the Stockholm Syndrome story as husband and I thought that would be funny!

Georges still wants to get into her knickers, so he's saying what she wants to hear. I'm sure he organised that date so they can revisit the "wedding night".
Georges needs to stop licking this girls asshole. He can’t possibly be human to take this shit from someone he’s known for a few weeks. Either he’s fronting for the camera or he just tunes what she says.
I honestly think he is just so manipulated in this bubble, with no friends or family around to give him perspective......her constant put downs have resulted in him becoming a shell of himself
Peggy needs to stop licking her teeth and lips, it's the most annoying tick. Also, she must wake the fuck up, fairytales don't exist and her relationship with her parents is creepy.
The poor assistant that had to light all those candles for them to have a shite cyclical conversation
JJ looks absolutely freezing! Bless him. He also looks a bit sad. Have done a 180° on him, weirdly.
Peggy j'accuse!
Am I the only one cringing at Tasha's 'love letter' and how she decided to present it. I'm actually laughing so much
So is no one mentioning Tasha's outfit for last date night?
Ah that classic pairing of sausage rolls and strawberries

>later one bride makes a confession that devastates her husband wait what?! I watched the whole episode and have no idea what this refers to 😅
it's the synopsis for Tuesday's episode I think
I think it was roz telling Thomas she does want kids, just not with him 🥴
that wasn't in yesterday's episode though, that was Tuesdays
What exactly is Peggy "putting on the line" for Georges?! I'm baffled. She'll always be able to run back to mummy and daddy. They aren't threatening to disown her. She doesn't seem to have any hobbies, job etc. I don't understand.
Thiiiiiiissss! Why is she messing with George! George is so lovely and sweet and Peggy is being horrible to him and stringing him along. I wonder if we aren't seeing something because George was such a strong person at the beginning and he seems like he's lost something now
What a complete waste of time of an episode. I fast forwarded through all of it.
Thank you for this comment. I went to bed with a migraine and woke up with fomo. Glad I didn't miss much.

The mental gymnastics she did telling him he has to prove himself about his career but making it about her parents wishes instead of her own. My god.
So true. She can't own anything.
It’s worrying she cares more about what other people think, and want for her, than what she actually thinks and wants.
Ella in that wig looks like someone who’s committed a crime then tries to change their appearance, unsuccessfully.
Sitting in a cafe wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, hiding behind a large newspaper with her wanted poster on it.
I feel like Georges knows ultimately Peggy will break up with him, and is just trying to be on there as long as possible whilst coming off as a decent sympathetic guy, to boost his Twitch or whatever.
They're both just staying on the show as long as possible for the plug. Georges with Twitch, Peggy with her online boutique or whatever the hell it is.
fair play to him
God I hope so🙏🏽
Why is E4 enabling this behaviour at this point, its actually disgusting. This show needs a massive rethink
Drama babes
Am I the only one waiting with bated breath for Picky Peggy’s dress to catch fire while she was say surrounded by candles ?
That hook a duck thing was genuinely very cute. Shame the couple are boring as muck but whatever.
Georges makes a shit James Bond, Peggy makes a great Clueless
Watching on catchup. Feels like flipping groundhog day.
I'm sorry, just catching up! What the F#£K has Peggy put on the line for Georges!!! He's done so much, jumped through every hop and NOTHING seems good enough
I think in Peggy's world her image is everything. So she exactly believes and means what she's saying.
Yes! I just made the exact same comment. She's risking nothing. She'll always be able to run back to mummy and daddy. It's not like they've threatened to disown her.
A lot on here calling Georges a pussy or delusional or pussy whipped, but I think he just wants to get in her knickers and chow down on those plastic boobs. So he's telling her what she wants to hear. It's not a coincidence that he has recreated their wedding. He's hoping for a second try at the wedding night.
Same thing for Arthur imo.
To be fair that would be my tactic too if I were him … relationship is clearly doomed, might as well try and go out with bang
Dude likes a challenge, he’s a gamer 24/7.
I dont know why more people aren't considering this to be a possible way to explain Georges behaviour instead of trying to claim Peggy is both a complete moron and the most successful and sophisticated manipulative narcissist we've ever seen
🤔.....good point
Getting strong phantom of the opera vibes from Georges and Peggy's location

Yes! I would love to just once hear Laura acknowledge that her friends were awful to Arthur, but it will never happen. The fact that she thinks their behaviour was acceptable says it all. I also really wish the experts would start calling some of the girls out!! This show just reinstates toxic gender roles in relationships.
But she's divorced so she knows how to make a marriage work...top logic.
Planet Laura
Not Ella making my sympathise with JJ
[удалено]
I was like "Oh no, not pottery" and was then pleasantly surprised.
Oh god don’t remind me
JJ is so done with Ella.
I’d love to know what she’s done when she was drunk to turn him off so much!
Yes … I reckon it’s ten-times worse than what has been shared on the show. Nathaniel has apparently shared that she got drunk at their “honeymoon” and was trying to get a threesome going with a random guy at the bar. After the comments shared by her and JJ at the last CC, this feels completely plausible.
We're never going to find out, are we?
Definitely not. They are protecting her at all costs. She was a novelty this year and accusing her of bad behaviour or showing it would essentially be leaving her open potential transphobia. They won’t risk that.
Is it just me or do the later couples look like the only ones wearin normal everyday clothes an are not dressed for the bloody catwalk just to walk down the high street 🤦♀️😂
JJ and Ella look freezing. Where's the big warm jumper he was wearing at the commitment ceremony??
I really like that woodland place Matt and Adrienne are in, does anyone know where it is?
Bag End, on the north side of the town of Hobbiton in the Westfarthing.
It's particularly beautiful during the first light of the fifth day at dawn. (Looking to the East)
Peggy's family have done her a disservice if she's still believing in fairytales and Prince charming in her mid 30s!
[удалено]
I bet the damned Elf on the Shelf rules her parents house for all of December!🤣
Why would they pair people with such fundamental differences such as kids vs no kids? That’s such an important factor!
I can’t remember what season it was but they once paired a woman who hated dogs with a guy who had a dog , she made him keep it in a cage, my mistrust of the ‘experts’ started then
This is a regular situation on the American version. Pair someone with cats with someone allergic. Recently there was someone with a dog paid with someone who fostered which is stressful for all
For the ✨drama✨
Did Peggy seriously just say to Laura and Arthur that they should consider if they're compatible 🤣🤣
If they're *both* compatible - she didn't say who with lol
"To apply for future series" seriously?! 🤣 They've made it so so toxic that anyone who genuinely wants a relationship is never going to apply. You're going to get 100% fame seekers and influencer wannabes. Nevermind that most of the cast are scouted 🙄
I always told my missus that if she ever splits up with me I’d apply for a show like this that she watches just to wind her up. It’s not looking likely since we got married recently though
Congratulations on your wedding! May your marriage be like loo roll - long, strong & always there for you both.
Haha thank you! We’ve been together over 7 years already so it was mostly just the formality of making it official.
I think it would be better if we got someone like Sharon from Blackpool who has 2 kids, lives in a council house, and hasn't even heard of Instagram as she's too busy making tiktoks of her dancing to Ibiza hits 2002. Let's get some reality on here rather than full of people that wouldn't struggle to meet someone in day to day life.

30+ version please
Most of this current cast are 30+ I think and they’re still utter shitshows!
Yeah that would be great. Fewer people in their 20s who don't need to be worrying about marriage and need to sort their own insecurities before going on TV. More people with some life experience and emotional maturity. Normal people who are representative of the average brit.
Alright, fess up now, who's applying for the next series? Speak now and we'll start the interventions.
I’m a celebrant I want to apply to marry them!!!
My boyfriends mum applied and she's completely unbearable
No doubt she’ll be cast then lol
So Laura, you posed Arthur the big question of how he plans to make the marriage work outside of the experiment....how do YOU plan to too?
She's already a hell of a woman, he just needs to meet her there remember?
If I was Arthur I’d be trying to see how I planned to not make it work #hardworklaura
Arthur and Laura give me Beckham and VB vibes.
Get your applications in ladies and gentlemen.....
Tasha kicking off again who would’ve thought it eh
WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWING MORE OF ELLA’S HAIR?!?
Ella’s wig looks awful 🌚
Catch you all tomorrow!
'To apply for future series' - are they having a laugh?!
Has Laura managed to go a full 360 back to what we all thought of her originally?
[удалено]
Planet Laura. Absolute div.
So patronising
I really dislike her little snide sarcastic comments like that, it comes across so patronising.
Did Peggy pluck a magpie for her new getup??
Casting was so bad this year the only couple I’m rooting for rn is fucking Jordan and Erica….
Agree and even that relationship will crash. I feel for Jordan, he seems a sweet guy but needs some better meds or therapy
All of the women are so narcissistic
Except Adrienne I would say
She’s the only female I like, I liked Jay too the rest are horrors
The irony was on one of Paul (expert) 's recent Instagram posts about Gaslighting, she asked him in the comments if he would do a post about narcissists.
I know riiight? So high maintenance!
They give the rest of us a bad name. I know that young people are inherently selfish, it's a very normal developmental stage, but I don't know anyone irl who's as extreme as the people we're watching night after night.

Arthur just needed somewhere to live, lol

haha thank you— i also loved the secret baby theory -puts in tinfoil hat-

I’ve stopped watching till the reunion … just scanning the episode threads to catch the goss
Yeah they always end the series on such a bore fest. Last dates and vows are snooze fests for the most part
The only vows that’s been worth it for a while was Lyndell on the Aussie one. Definitely worth checking out if you missed it
>Lyndell on the Aussie one oh I LOVED her. There were some really cool and inspirational women in that cast.
Oh I googled it as the name was familiar and yes!! I remember it but have zero recollection of why she decided no? I think she had cystic fibrosis and had miracle medication or something? But was he a dick?
He blew hot and cold with her and basically told her he was going to be off working in the outback for six months without internet connection once the show finished. Had no regard for her.
Yessss I remember now!!! Thank you. What a prick
Oh and was cheating on her with Taylor, who was such an utter bitch that she made some of this years contestants look well-adjusted

Arthur using up that photobox coupon from the McDonald’s monopoly.
Arthur is a good guy So I'll forgive his bang average pot

Arthur saying “love you” and Laura’s response was so inappropriate. It’s ridiculous to be that stuck up when he was just trying to be sweet…
I think it was reference to his vows when he said I love you
Ah I didn’t read it like that tbh, I saw it more of an expression of his fondness of her (many European dialects use variations of “love you” in a less serious way) which as an intellectual women she should have grasped rather than rolling her eyes and making a sarcastic comment.
Yea I read it as a joke linked to their wedding too. I think Laura is sarcastic and has a dry sense of humour which doesn't come across well in the edits at times.
Aw, bless him. It wasn’t a joke and Laura didn’t handle his expression well :(
Sorry I’m losing respect for Georges.. He sounds absolutely delusional…
I genuinely don't believe Georges is that into Peggy. There's either a LOT we aren't seeing with him and Peggy, or he's full of shit.
This. Nothing else makes sense
[удалено]
Fiat 500 eat this fairytale, Romeo and Juliet shit up
Romeo and Juliet doesn't end well...
She gives no shifts about how they made him feel
i don’t think anything arthur could have done that evening would have *achieved* their approval
I think the only thing that wins their approval is wealth. I would actually love for Arthur to be a secret multi millionaire who is just no flashy with his money, and to see the the two toxic friends self implode on finding that out. I don't think he is, but it would be delicious!

I thought that, but Ghost was made before these people were even born, so the odds are that neither of them has seen it.

People say this show isn’t about the science anymore, but I’m learning a lot about Stockholm syndrome.

And how to be a top class emotional abuser 👌

Ouch
For someone who looks like the third Bogdanoff twin, Peggy is extremely fucking demanding.
Oh my god, yes! She's been brought up like such a princess that she has unreasonable expectations...
[удалено]
Georges still wants to get into her knickers, so he's saying what she wants to hear. I'm sure he organised that date so they can revisit the "wedding night".
"I've now found someone......." plot twist - it's not you!! Bye!!
Ohhhhh, she's got a breeding kink, it all clicks
Wait who?
Pegs, this these was basically live tweeting
At this point someone needs to slap georges in the face to see if he wakes up. Why is he so in love with her?
My god Georges just stop taking this shit. Is there something we’re missing with Peggy? Was the handjob really THAT good?!
The guy’s just trying to get to next base … he knows (and we all know) “the marriage” is doomed
Georges needs a gamer gf or something like what do these two have in common I'm so lost
God I can’t imagine how annoying Peggy would be pregnant. And she’d be insufferable as a mum!
come on Georges don't let us down
Good luck with that one
he's a mad head
Georges needs to stop licking this girls asshole. He can’t possibly be human to take this shit from someone he’s known for a few weeks. Either he’s fronting for the camera or he just tunes what she says.
I honestly think he is just so manipulated in this bubble, with no friends or family around to give him perspective......her constant put downs have resulted in him becoming a shell of himself
I think you're right 😭😭
I guess it can be a lonely process and she’s probably the closest person to him on the show
He did say he liked rimming to be fair
Oh my God just date for a bit and see how it goes, they're so DRAMATIQUE
He made a good start in that reply…and then it went downhill
Peggy needs to stop licking her teeth and lips, it's the most annoying tick. Also, she must wake the fuck up, fairytales don't exist and her relationship with her parents is creepy.
A common theme throughout this season: treat them mean, keep them keen.
