Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

As you were.

The last posts were about the 'experts' matching couples for disharmony.

I think they try and get 50% of each. We also need to the 'ahh' moments to keep us watching.

I do wonder what their membership/regulatory bodies say about ethical practice on this?

People are mostly matched on what they think they are looking for which 9 times out of 10 is the wrong thing, that's why people clash. They have this ideal scenario in their heads which can never play out in real life and that's why most of them are single in the first place.

Plus the desire for fame/infamy.

I never consider that, so I'm probably too unrealistic. It's a negative influence on reality shows

New couples on their way. No swaps so far.

I want to know what Tom or April said about Chanita. Did I miss something? I know it's nothing, but so much drama has ensued.

I think the gossip/slight is so inconsequential that edit decision was just to show the resulting drama.

She seems a bit shocked she hasn't been paired with a corporate type, or white collar at the very least.

I get you - I had wondered if you were talking about Zoe and Jenna. I think some patience - which seems in short supply with them - would let them open up to whats highly important to each other and change, without feeling pressured.

Maybe they should be forced to speak like Shakespeare or utter forth like James Joyce writing to his lover about her cunt and smelling the stench of her arse..... now that's culture for you.

If David Attenborough goes to a tropical island, it's to film flora, fauna or animals. Not to play spin the bottle with a bunch of people desperate to get on tv.

There was far less dross on tv when we only had 4 channels. Choice never leads to quality. It just starts a race to the bottom.

I got into watching a series sometime back. I’m fascinated that science can work aswell as human instinct.

In theory, it should work, but there’s something you can’t explain when it’s atttraction, and if that’s missing. No amount of similarities is going to make a marriage or relationship work.

But it is so good to watch and listen to the experts.

We're not culturally prepared for arranged marriages. The participants might go into it thinking they are and thinking they're prepared to work at it and make compromises but we've all been fed on a diet of romantic love as the goal and simply don't understand what it takes to commit to someone you barely know. The rare couples who make it last are down to sheer luck, the experts are pairing people up based on the likelihood of drama not successful relationships

I feel quite sad about Gemma. Yes, the sex has to be good but it doesn't have to be instant. She seems to seek validation in being sexually desired and it is painful to watch her breakdown because he is not providing that.

I find it troubling that her justification is that it's not unreasonable to demand this from her 'husband'. The edit prevents us from seeing how much they have got to know about each other. The amount of time they have spent together is easily equivalent to dating for a month, it's just all under pressure.

There biology, there evolution, their interactions with the environment. You might almost call it zoology. It's a bit more educational than watching a bunch of fame hungry numpties thrown together by producers to cause as much friction as possible.

Don't try to say these "reality based" shows are worthy. You'd have more fun watching reruns of Blankety Blank, Crossroads or Playaway. At least a bit of thought went into them.

It's perhaps because they perceive it as good entertainment. Many of us like him and they'll know his popularity, so it's got higher stakes for them to facilitate the drama. That's my guess.

I think they feed us TV acceptable relationship guidance, whilst they are driven by the production company to facilitate drama.

I was amazed last night, when he introduced his perception of his wife having a be acceptable for several people, including his parents, not just him and his kids. Unfortunately, I'm biased and would probably tolerate too much from him . (Hence I'm single).

His life, wants and concerns, feel a little too inflexible for a new relationship. Not sure if I’m right but I get the sense she has a confident life of spontaneity and carefree fun, whereas he need consistency, routine, and stability.

I heard a massive alarm bell clanging last night when she said something along the lines of why didn't he believe her when he asked if she felt the same about men who had eyes on her . She said she often didn't even know they were looking and he didn't believe her. He also has massive issues about her past relationships and has accused her of lying about them. This kind of insecurity never goes away and ends up with one partner being controlled.

I know I'm more heavily invested than a sensible person should be and it's edited to look a certain way so let me say this is my opinion based on limited evidence. I wonder if he is a manipulative, control freak who controls women by behaving as if they're responsible for every hurt he's suffered in the past.

Why aren’t they giving him some counselling? He needs help to work through his trust issue

J x

I heard a massive alarm bell clanging last night when she said something along the lines of why didn't he believe her when he asked if she felt the same about men who had eyes on her . She said she often didn't even know they were looking and he didn't believe her. He also has massive issues about her past relationships and has accused her of lying about them. This kind of insecurity never goes away and ends up with one partner being controlled.

So true. A model who's won a national competition will certainly attract attention and I am sure she wouldn’t notice it. I didn’t catch this bit!

Even if she did notice it why is it her problem. Next come the instructions on wearing less revealing clothes...

Oh I just meant I doubt she is lying about not noticing the attention. Yes I think you may be right. "

I hope I'm not but who knows. He needs her to reverse the situation and start questioning him every time his eyes stray.

From what I've seen of this I think George is a complete control freak with some deep issues he needs help with. April is very attractive and I think he's just not mentally equipped to deal with her spontaneous outgoing nature and the fact that she will without doubt draw interest from other men. He seems like he's trying to emotionally control her into being something she's not. Unfortunately this is like the 3rd TV show she's been on so I think at this point it's more about being on TV than the marriage.

Apparently The Cabins on ITV and The Batchelor on Ch5. I’ve never heard of either of those tbh. The Batchelor rings a bell.

I am just catching up.. He is a nightmare... The amount of hourly reassurance he needs is ridiculous. He definitely needs counselling... And the whole drama over the hot tub peck i would have binned him off by now

"Just caught up with this weeks. April needs to walk away from George, very, very fast

His life, wants and concerns, feel a little too inflexible for a new relationship. Not sure if I’m right but I get the sense she has a confident life of spontaneity and carefree fun, whereas he need consistency, routine, and stability.

He needs control. He's got a face that's permanently ready to look offended and hurt.

I wonder if he is that classic type of man who has to have the final say and is “man of the house”. If he is, I don’t see them working out at all.

I know I'm more heavily invested than a sensible person should be and it's edited to look a certain way so let me say this is my opinion based on limited evidence. I wonder if he is a manipulative, control freak who controls women by behaving as if they're responsible for every hurt he's suffered in the past.

"

Think you’ve hit the nail on the head there. From the beginning, the way he stares, controlled speech and when having an ‘emotional’ hug most times those eyes are still open and staring - comes over being a bit psychotic. Not forgetting the fact at the first dinner party, he went round telling people about her kissing another woman in the hot tub before she arrived. What new husband would do that to his new wife to strangers?

One who wants to isolate his partner, he can't do it physically while they're on the show so he's tried by making her the bad guy

What I can't understand is if the experts really are experts, why haven't they spotted this behaviour?

"People are mostly matched on what they think they are looking for which 9 times out of 10 is the wrong thing, that's why people clash. They have this ideal scenario in their heads which can never play out in real life and that's why most of them are single in the first place. "

Bit like being on here then

Indeed. A sort of thing a narcissistic partner would do: play the victim to the outside, whilst mistreating his partner behind closed doors.

After watching several series of the Australian version and now the UK version is reverting to this format, I wouldn’t be surprised that the producers are calling the shots to make more drama by mismatching couples, rather than the so-called ‘experts’. Although the Australian version is much better at it!

I concur with all the comments on George and April.

Gemma and Matt are a mess.

Sophie and Jonathan... he has his own control issues going on. Telling her that her workouts will spoil her legs! And she better not gain any weight.

April won't leave, she is playing the game. She isn't emotionally invested, which is good because George probably has a restraining order against him by his ex wife!

Johnathan also thinks he can control Sophie, and is also insecure and superficial.

I can't see a single genuine match this year, its lost any sense of realism and become like all the other "reality" tv, a characature.

Should they even be making these shows? They just use these people then spit them out. Nevermind the quality of the show, is it particularly moral? Sure they might be volunteers, but some people will volunteer for the most insane things.

There are articles in the press today relating to George and his previous emotionally abusive treatment of previous girlfriends, one who had cause to seek out the police, and had also advised the producers of the programme. April is also quoted on social media as saying she’d had therapy since the experience. Worrying, when it sticks out so clearly in the footage.

Not surprised by this at all. It’s quite worrying that the producers would let someone like that onto the show. But then again, these sorts of people are very good manipulators.

How would his exes know he was going on the show to warn them?

I think his behaviour sets of sirens but it would be negligent and a safeguarding risk if the producers had been warned.

He is very easy on the eye. Why doesn't he do things to make April happy?

I find April annoying, mainly because she sounds like a moany 16 year old I know. I think she needs some deep therapy before committing to a relationship. However, she's right that she shouldn't have to disclose past relationships to appease his insecurity.

She could potentially communicate and establish boundaries better. Despite him having been my marriage material, he is coming across as potential more unstable and in need of a more cautious acceptance.

That’s because she has public relationships from other tv dating shows. He wouldn’t usually be able to look up that information

Evening lovely. I'm guessing that they sign away all responsibilities from the producers, as much as legally they are able to force them to. The TV companies have the lawyers, the contestants often just the desperation to be on.

True. I just think it's highly suspect that they were completely alone, perfectly positioned and had dramatic speeches that the camera man could seamlessly pick up on.

"Well!

If that's not staged I'm a monkey's uncle

That was a challenging watch.

I don't think any of the swaps from the Australian version lasted more than a week or so. It's not exactly the difficult decision for the experts as the voice over suggests!

Long distance camera just happens to be in place for Whitney and Matt to have a cinematic kiss. Nah, I'm calling bs on the whole thing

The producers would have beenn tracking all of them. There are probably very few moments that weren't filmed.

True. I just think it's highly suspect that they were completely alone, perfectly positioned and had dramatic speeches that the camera man could seamlessly pick up on. "

It was better than some blockbuster's scenes, that have undergone meticulous planning, rehearsal and multiple takes. . Am I being taken for a mug!

This kind of brain cell killing shite should be banned by law for damaging the future generations, and reducing the national Iq level. All reality TV shite like Love Island should be banned.

It seems like Big brother just someone else decides whos shagging who then steps back and watches it all burn down. Never mind that some may not be equipped to cope with the longer term intrusion into their lives - its all well and good to say - they knew what they were signing up for’ - did they? Really or just saw ooh a bit of celebrity and ill get paid by ok magazine - it’s a circus freak show i think ive watched 2 episodes but its enough to make some form of opinion… just add wine seems to Be a popular solution

I think that's a fair assessment but I think that there might be some real damage done to some vulnerable people this time.

I think the people who sign up assume they know what they're signing up for but much like the contestants in I'm a Celebrity think that there's a burger van behind the scenes. The reality comes as a shock.

I'll watch until the end because I'm half way through.

I think only people needy in some way would go on it. I think I said a few days ago I suspect they choose one or two emotionally stable people and select the rest for qualities they know will cause drama. Let's face it not many would watch a show where six couples were married and got along reasonably well.

I think it's just Adrian's tenacity, holding on and supporting Tom, letting him know he's there for him, in large part. Patience of 1 million saints, as I'd be less tolerant and would lay down some very strict boundaries.

I don't watch it but it popped up on my news feed on FB.

3 is 2 too many, coz I allow 1 bitter trouble maker. If you spoke to my abusive ex about me I'm sure he'd say all sorts of shit about how evil I was. Yet if you speak to all of his ex's they'll all say the same thing about him being emotionally and physically abusive, manipulative bla bla bla.

If they did whoever is responsible should be sacked. I spotted his behaviour a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe that the 'experts'hadn't, I still can't.

I agree about his mum.

However we should bear in mind that nothing has been proved against him
