I have been watching on E4. I have seen up to the episode that was on television last night.
Simon and Alene’s surrender date was quite awkward to watch. To me, it comes across that she is not very attracted to him and so she was trying to change his clothes and hairstyle so that she would be. He looked very uncomfortable at points and I felt that it amounted to Alene peer pressuring and bullying him . Obviously, he did look better afterwards but it wasn’t for her to tell Simon how to be.
I am not sure that Anthony and Nadia have enough chemistry to go the distance. Personally, I find his eyebrows quite offputting. They are the first thing that I see about his face every time he comes on screen - they are just too perfect and it’s quite disconcerting to see on a man! I think that the way he speaks about Nadia is quite possessive (IE “she is mine”) and almost as if he wants to control every aspect of her life (IE “you are lacking direction”). In my personal opinion, it is one thing to encourage your partner to do something in life that they have been holding back on but completely another to belittle them in a public place about the topic.
Debbie and John make me feel quite uncomfortable. I think that Debbie went into the process with an expectation in her mind as to who she wanted. John does not fit the brief in her own head and so he never stood a chance. With that being said, John does not seem to be the perfect man in my opinion. His laugh is quite irritating and that thing he does with his tongue when he tells a joke actually repulses me! I personally can’t see these two working out, I just think they are in completely different places in life.
I think that Nick and Sharon are quite good together. They obviously have chemistry and are attracted to one another but I do wonder whether she will be able to put up with his partying. I know that as a 25 year old I wouldn’t want to be around someone who doesn’t know their alcohol limit! You should have that sussed by the time you are 21. I think emotionally they are on the same page, though.
I don’t think you can say the same for Jesse and Michelle. He seems to be falling fast and I can’t see that she is as interested in him. The zoo date was quite cringey. She didn’t even really try to fill the awkward silences!
Cheryl is an absolute babe and I hope she has better luck with Andrew.
Michael was so controlling! He was obsessed with what everyone thought of him. If I were the bride marrying him, it would have been over as soon as he told me he was a stripper. I find male strippers so embarrassing! I like a Dad bod and for my men to just be masculine and normal. I couldn’t think of anything worse than having him oiled up, jiggling his bum in my face.
