I agreed I was just plain confused, I blinked and suddenly it had ended.

To whoever said Sam looked bad without the beard, go look up the current pictures of him bald with stubble he looks like a cross between a drawn on egg and a bad Tibetan monk.

i'll admit I did contemplate applying for the UK one but then had a word with myself as I can find gaslighters and timewasters myself so I think i'll just stay single

No idea.

Nice to see Jess squirming with that innate smirk she puts on when under pressure. Unsurprisingly her relationship with Sam ended after the series.

I did chuckle when Cyrell and Nic were called upto the sofa and everyone clapped except Martha, who then muttered to her husband ‘what are you clapping for?’

Lightning fast response from Michael ‘I’m clapping for Nic’ rofl

Nice answer under pressure... laugh

Surprisingly Martha not called out for siding with both Ines and Jess as absconders....she doesn’t seem a very nice person.

Great to see Cam and Jules in it for the right reasons thumbup

The whole series has been about the drama and Jools and Cam not hugely surprised they didn't focus on some relationships although would have liked to have seen Ning and Mark on the sofa

Glad Martha didn't get any air time, poor Michael is going to wake up one day having wasted a few years, nasty person

Mrs Soze found a YT video of Jess and Dan being interviewed when the episode we just saw aired in OZ, they'd broken up after the reunion episode due to the Nic stuff, then got back together, watched it, got interviewed, had a massive row off camera which the interviewer called them on and they started arguing again hehe

It would be understandable to not interview those who'd left before the end (although a "quick catchup" with them as individuals could work) - there is simply no point taking about their relationship.

However, not interviewing Ning/Mark and Martha/doormat is really odd.

I can only assume they filmed it but there was nothing interesting to say? It's a really odd thing to blatantly miss out half the couples, but Tam and Mick didn't get a chance to talk either to tell their sides of the main story which was a shame.
Billy and Susie I get as they didn't really do much but there were 24 people in the series (thanks Wiki) and we only got to hear from 10 of them on the sofa after they'd had a chance to get away from the series and reflect back.

This whole last episode was a bolt on with three principle purposes:

1. Get Ines back to face the music with Elizabeth and, to a lesser degree, Bronson. She was perhaps surprisingly contrite (outwardly) I don't buy the crocodile tears, but she's allegedly a much better person now.

2. Drop Sam in the crapper from the biggest possible height. Every good reality series has a villain, he and Ines were the villains at the start.

3. Drop Jess in the crapper from the biggest possible height. She took over the villain role from Ines & Sam.

Viewers want to see the villains get their comeuppance, et voila.

Of the others, Mike and Heidi were included as they'd broken up between final commitment and final dinner party - people want to know what happened.

Cyril and Nic included as Cyril is nuts, but principally to tee up the Jess thing.

Jules and Cam included at the end to leave on a good note and with the sentiment of "this is a credible show, look; some people do last"


My only disappointment is they didn't drop Martha from a similar height to Jess due to her blatant bhiness, constant defence of bad behaviour and princess-attitude.

But it's all acting anyway. Tamara and Jess are apparently good friends now.

It's the trashiest show in the world and I can't believe I watched 40 episodes of the bloody thing, but watching how the producers craft the storyline is intriguing.

Sums it up nicely, the missus said Martha was wanging on about her Prada dress for the reunion so maybe zero airtime was the coup de grace from the producers smile

I take it you're in for S7 then? hehe

The OH and I have vowed not to watch another because, at 90 mins apiece, it's all you end up watching of an evening.

However Elizabeth (hopefully sans crazy clown makeup and Argos jewelry) is back marrying someone else for the next series which may be interesting hehe

I cam home whilst MrsC was watching this and every time they cut to the subject of your spoiler I spontaneously guffawed at the utterly comedic view - the combination of the bizarre makeup, the obvious multiple raids on the Aus equivalent of Lizzie Duke, and the prizewinning gurning made it impossible not to!

Following on from Ines appearing on Jamie Laing's podcast, this week he's chatting with Jessika.

The new UK series starts on E4 tomorrow night. It looks as if they are moving towards the Australian format.

It could be good if they don't stage it too much like the Australian series.

Presumably being the UK the women will be all fat lipped, with eyebrows like Groucho Marx and impenetrable regional dialects.

From the trailers the contestants look Ike a load of love island wannabees which is a shame because I quite like the idea of this show.

Have you watched the Australian one? They are going for that vibe this season, if you like the Aus one then great, if not you'll probably not enjoy it

Yeah I did see one series recently, don't think it was the latest one but it was pretty good.

I imagine they’ve seen the viewing figures for the Aus versions and gone from there.

yes

The UK one was a bit dire by comparison
