The Turkish Wives Club

Kazbah

Oh my GOD!!! Do they not realise they are being taken for such a ride. Surely Eileen & Olashes relationship was no advertisment for the lifestyle to the other two eejits.

Did you say EU passport?

Possibly the worse bit of tv i've seen in a long time! Such stunners as well, those lucky guys! Passport anyone? Haha, Kaz you were thinking the same as me!

Kazbah

They never made it clear if Eileen and her oh so gallant lover are both living in the same country or not.

Seriously someone needs to have a word!

Curvy Vixen

They are living in the same country Kazbah. They spend 6 months here (together!) and 6 months in Turkey..she just came back for the filming of the show..

Kazbah

Well I hope her dating agency business is more of a success then her marriage appears to be!

It was disturbing but it's no worse than the thousands of Irish/British men that go to Thailand every year and bring back Thai brides!

I actually think that's worse. I've spent time in Asia. It sickens me to see leery old men with young girls (and more than one at a time) pawing them in bars and clubs. I guess that's another discussion though.

I was sick! its disgusting, id be ashamed of my mother if she was seeing a turk my age!

I only caught 10 minutes of it, so if there was more than one couple, I don't know which was which. But the woman I saw was treating the fella like a kid. It was weird. "Ah you're a lovely chap aren't ya?" or "He loves me, don't ya?"

You have to wonder: Do these women not have any cop on? Why would a 20 something year old bloke be with an average looking 50 something woman unless he's after something else?

He married her for her passport ~ he told her that before they got married and she agreed and said she didn't mind and that once he was granted it maybe he would love her enough to change his mind. He got his passport after 7 years and left her to go to the UK but came back to her after a couple of months and said he loved her.

I don't remember any of that in the program ?!

Yeah, I watched the first bit of this prog and thought I was going mad, "is this not the worst programme on telly", then the daughter of one of them said what I was thinking "he's only going to use you" and I was convinced then that I wasn't mad!

I stopped looking after that. Good god, I saw a second or two of The Afternoon Show repeat and she was on it, previewing last night's show. Arrghhh!!!

Whilst it may be another discussion it was mentioned on the Gerry Ryan show piece about it. Theory was that Men going to Thailand = men using dominant power over vulnerable young women; men bad. Women going to Turkey = men there using dominant power over them as they really are vulnerable but they didn't know it; men also bad. :rolleyes:

Wasn't in the programme. The first husband that she spoke about that died after they divorced was my cousin..I've known Eileen for about 30 years..and her 3 daughters. I also used to work with Suzy (the dark haired lady) and have seen her around for years though I don't know the other lady.
