😂 So we did but no wonder it was a ridiculous pairing.Honestly they need to get the first dates team pairing these guys up.They would do a far better job!


It was a crazy pairing. Wth were the experts thinking?

They probably wanted some drama. The matches are not great.

I am sure that the producers do.

It is just that the experts are professionals and do seem genuine and they always look so happy with their decisions.:biggrin:

Would be interesting to know if the producers give them a very limited choice.

I mean, who would pair a partying DJ out till 5 am with an ultra conservative Christian single mother who wants to stay in every night ....

I wondered the same too. One would think that compatibility checks were performed before the pairing.

Honestly it must be deliberately done.As I said before the only other explanation is that they only have 16 people apply so it is the best of a bad job!

Assumptions thus far:
Jay and Luke are likely a good match, same for the two people who like meditation (forgot their names sorry but I loved their wedding)
.
Not getting good vibes from either Nathaniel or Ella. Ella was being a bit too much for him (slow and steady wins the race), and Nathaniel freaked out a bit too much and revealed on TV that she was a Stripper. Whether she is still a stripper or not I don't know. I personally wouldn't date someone who strips but if its in the past its in the past.

Also Terence and Porscha are a complete mismatch, two different lifestyles.

Terence and Porscha - what an absolute joke of a pairing.

Nathaniel should not get angry with her about the stripper thing. If he didn’t want to be paired with a stripper that is the producers at fault (unless Ella lied).

They clearly can't stand each other now.

There was a lovely guy last time who was a dream boys type stripper.His wife was also horrified.But you are correct it is a question that should be asked

Also the DJ having 3 children with at least 2 different women and still acting like he is 25 would be the biggest red flag to me.He is not going to change now.

I only said the producers should ask about it because Nathaniel has apparently said it was the one thing he told them he felt strongly against. Well, he said the sex industry so he obviously saw stripping as that. I don't necessarily think it is otherwise relevant if someone has done stripping. It wouldn't bother me but for him it was apparently a red line.

He was a lovely man last year.

I certainly did!

I really liked it. Two couples are still together.

Their children were impressive.

I was thinking of trying the Australian one.

Yes the kids were great. I felt sorry for the son of the flirty Martin.

I mean whatever attractiveness Martin may have irl had was lost in translation through the TV!
The poor son looked like he had seen it all before unfortunately.

Georges comes across a bit childish. I mean I'm not surprised Peggy wasn't impressed with his story about electrocuting his own nipples with one of those fly swatters.

I must say, I thought the first Martin was much nicer and more attractive. Heaven knows why the two women were drawn to the other Martin.
