    The older couple : she said she was a widow so she was probably left some money when her husband died, plus she is working . Fisherman from Dunmore said he had lost all his money in the crash , had sold his boat and was then forced back into fishing . He also seemed older than her..... and fishing can’t be easy at his age.
    He had travelled from Waterford and was also staying in a hotel overnight so this date cost him a lot .

    I think under the circumstances she should have insisted on paying her way !! She was really quick to say no to him. Felt sorry for the man .

    I don't think Dubai girl is as hot as she looks. Can definitely see her not being that goodlooking when younger. Think her makeup is good.

    Anyone find the "After the show" Updates crap? They only seem to show if the couple's went out that night.... I wanna know what happened after 2 weeks plus!

    I'd say the majority don't go anywhere. I doubt Donegal & Dubai met up after that again. They're hardly goingto keep flying back and forth.

    Donegal lad fell on his feet somehow there despite being half cut by the looks of it. Called her darling which she loved for some reason. And flew in from London which seemed to impress her way more than it should have.

    Most women fully expect not to have to pay but she could have let him down easier

    The girl from 'Dubai' is painful...she is trying so hard to be the quirky sarcy funny girl, but it's coming across as quite nasty the Donegal is lovely he is clearly really nervous, and had a few shandys.

    The gay couple very sound.

    I'm not convinced she knows where london is.
    I'm not convinced she knows where Dubai is...
    She strikes me as someone who was probably born there and hasn't lived there since she was about 2..but says it to make her sound more interesting, she is just so conciously quirky...zzz

    God, that Kilkenny girl who’s from Dubai with the American accent is a complete head wrecker

    Ugh so pretentious!

    And the comment about her being the 'ugly fat girl' as if shes a model now. Her hair looked awful in the interview part.

    Dunno why she was making a huge deal about him taking a 40 min flight either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    Thank God! I thought I was the only one finding "Dubai girl" very painful.

    The gay couple were probably one of the best couples I've seen on the show. They just clicked right from the start. I would have been really shocked if either of them had said no.

    I've forgotten what the update at the end said about the two men - did it just focus on the fact that they went on somewhere, or did it mention whether they're still seeing each other?
    They seemed smitten!
    I've never seen someone look as happy as the Polish guy was when he spotted his date arriving :D

    It just said that they'd gone on somewhere else after the date I think

    I would’ve lived an update on Rory and Piotr, they had such a lovely date!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    Aw, it didn't work out for Rory and Piotr :(
    Rory has a new man in his life and Piotr is still single.

    Awh the two guys date was lovely to watch. Pity it didn't work out for them.
    Piotr was a tad full on though:D

    I hope they bring the fisherman back again for another chance with somebody. He seemed like a real gentleman.

    Dubai girl was a bit strange. Offended at one comment and then ultra impressed with being called darling. wtf is that about

    What was with the girl & the comment about him not having any tracksuits?
    Is that really what she's looking for, or was it some sort of bad way of letting him down??

    I usually record the show and fast forward any scenes involving the staff. They just seem to get more annoying every week.

    Particularly that Alice one. ITS NOT ABOUT YOU, ALICE. If she was my waitress, I'd go to a different place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 212 ✭✭Infonovice


    I like the interaction with the waiters.

    When I'm out I'll have a chat with the staff too..

    if you know any gay man just ask him for an update on rory and piotr, seeing as it seems every gay man knows each other in ireland.

    It's like she read the definition of 'manic pixie dream girl' and decided to embody it. The date was unbearably awkward until he called her darlin'.


    She seems to have really taken his flying over from London as a reflection on herself, which is odd seeing as it was a blind date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,934 ✭✭✭goat2


    The girl from Dubai had a real Irish accent,
    The girl that turned down the lad that did not own a tracksuit, I could not understand that, I thought it is the person she was judging, not what he had in his wardrobe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 212 ✭✭Infonovice


    It was like she couldn't fault him in any other way.

    Maybe the tracksuit thing was just a joke, but it was a random aul thing to come out with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭DebDynamite


    So according to Piotr/Peter’s video, himself and and Rory just went on for a meal later that night, and then decided not to peruse it.

    Obviously we’re not privy to what goes on off camera, but these two lads practically had love hearts in their eyes looking at each other. If they can’t make it work, is there any hope! I’m a single women looking for love, and it depresses me how many people seem to really click and you have high hopes for, only to find out they never even saw each other again! Is it saying something about dating in general in Ireland now, or is it just the types of people who go on this show?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    "Dubai accent". Ehhh, nah I don't think so. What a strange individual.

    I was surprised that those two didn't work out either.
    It would have been taped a few months ago, so maybe they did actually date for a while.
    Then when the show was due to be aired, the update was that they were not together. maybe.

    I think some people are only going on the show to promote themselves in some way, but it is sad to see how some daters barely give the other person a chance at getting to know them.
