    Why? If he wasn't attracted to her, he wasn't attracted to her. The way people have been reacting to Daryl on social media is pretty ludicrous.

    why is that?? They were both very normal people, seemed to get on very well. Neither of them were "above eachothers weight" in fairness. Seemed like a nice match

    Perhaps you may not have liked him but she obviously had an attraction!

    The maitre dee in the UK one is an actor also.

    He's not.

    He's general manager of some posho restaurant in London. He's been on tv but that doesn't make him an actor.

    May be the chef. One of them definitely is. It's fairly common knowledge I thought

    One of the waitresses I would have thought? That blonde one seems to stick her head in ever 2 minutes.

    Ah maybe you are right! I knew she was but I am not sure where I heard about the other one. Still a lot of Towie like staged reality going on on the UK one!

    Great concept for a show whoever pitched it. Simple, cheap to produce and edit and easy to relate to. I just hate all the staged elements! Or false personalities!

    I thought the fake participants were few and far between in terms of the daters on the UK one tbh

    Daryl is really cute and fair enough he didn't fancy Amy but he totally came across as though he fancied her..slipping in some innuendos etc. Sure poor Amy had no idea what was coming..or anyone for that matter. Daryl calm your flirty jocks down if you don't fancy her...Amy you are a steal, you'll find your guy! ... And Donegal man just leave your number here : ;-)

    Overall, it was OK. At least we were spared the "my ex broke my heart" bunny boiler deep and meaningful conversations that the UK version seems to be full of.

    I reckon perhaps Daryl thought she was serious when she said, messing, that she didn't want to see him again or whatever er she said and like every second Irish man put on a defence mechanism and agreed! There was no way back then! At least she was honest and admitted she had been joking! She did seem genuinely a little disheartened.

    It was surprisingly good. I felt so bad for the girl who got stood up and poor Amy!! I dont think she expected that mullah to say what he said. He heads off to coppers, and she goes home :( ouch.

    Well we did get a guy who told his date he took an overdose. As sad and honest as that is I didn't think it was first date material, especially on tv. But he seemed very confident now and they were very comfortable together so it didn't really kill the mood.

    Clearly the Donegal lad kept thinking all through the date, how could I possibly introduce this one to mammy.

    Just watched it and it was good.

    Why are people so surprised that it was good.

    It's a very simple formula to follow. Get a restaurant, match people together and film their date.

    How can it go wrong?

    The people are the important variable

    Jaysus that was hard to watch. Your one Federica.........I hope she watched the show herself because if she wanted to know whty shes single it was there in all its car crash Glory. Classic case of someone who has zero self awareness. That lad lee she went on the date with was beyond patient and cool.
    The one that surprised me the most was the date between the blonde Girl Amy and, that guy who has to be gay. I was fully expecting her to say no way for a second date but she went for it. Bloody hell.
    By the way, it really sounds like Michael Fassbender providing the voice over. Its not is it?

    Agreed, one of my main thoughts watching it, most of them need to see an orthodontist. Daryl has an excuse I guess...

    Gives new context to what said in the video embedded on that indo page

    "I've been with a very famous Irish guy
    he had a nice doodle but it wasn't doing the work"

    ouch!

    I really don't see why they're giving "Federica", who was really creepy on her first date and who has been charged with harassment another chance.

    I know the producers are doing it for the cringe rating, but you have to think about the safety of the other person.
