    I'd say at least mid 40s. Not in a chance is he 32, he looks old enough to be her dad!

    That Tallafornia lad was a grade A moron. And that's being kind.

    ha ha, awww you shuda wrapped!! yeah, wrapped your clothes in a bin bag!!
    "so do you like dates with good hair"?? yeah cos that makes one of youz!!!
    the state of em, SPUD from train spotting was bang on the money!!!


    I felt sorry for the girl with that absolute arsehole from talifornia!!
    When he went the toilet she looked like she was seriously asking herself "what is it about me that says I'm compatible with with a person who speaks to women like this...shes right too, that would give you a complex. a wanker of the highest calibre and im chuffed he got found out on TV too, him and his rented 1990's rig out from unique!! she was lovely and had nice manners etc, shame really, bring her back id say.

    not sure about the whole, " I used to be fat" segment taking over the show, the whole looking to be validated now seems to be a running theme.

    Was surprised the lesbian couple stayed together. Didn't sense much chemistry between them, but happy for them all the same. I think the blonde girl might have been a bit nervous

    Does anyone know any followup on tonight's couples or are we allowed ask that here?
    I remember the older pair on the LLS and we're very smitten. I hope they're making a go of it.
    Would love to know how the two ladies got on. The Monaghan lass was a tonic. I'd love a night out with her.

    To thine own self be true

    The self confessed home wrecker???? lovely smile and eyes but id say a few beers in her and she'd be hard work to be honest.

    I still cant believe that other twat hadn't considered the girls family may be watching as he told her "you've a perky pair o tits on ye"!! she should've drowned him in his coors light and stung em with the bill!! the show orgainsers have a lot to answer for letting the likes of him on.

    It had been suggested last year that RTE (well, Coco Television technically) might have been bulking up their featured (ie, broadcast) dates with folks from casting agencies; it felt plausible given the number of showboating, preening types who seemed suspiciously ... adept at playing for the camera, but ultimately it all felt like tattle.

    Last night's episode though brings that suggestion back into focus, and perhaps proves the point; that the show is a bit damaged, and that those in charge are more mean-spirited and cynical than they should be. I think it's overly generous to call the presence of a failed reality TV contestant as 'stunt' casting, but it must have been intentional to push Phil onto the show, pair him with a good-intentioned soul and expect the 'viral' feedback from the inevitable disaster.

    Can't speak for anyone else, but the appeal of this show surely must be the prospect of natural, blind dates between two potentially sparky, flirty, interesting, and NORMAL people - such as the two young girls at the end who were a delight - and yeah, sure, maybe the occasional schadenfreude from watching 2 people who might fight like cats. Obviously the people there know they're going to be on TV, but there's still a positive outlook of romance, or the prospect of making new friends.

    It always struck me as one of the sweeter, more humane versions of reality TV, but if this is indeed a policy of RTE I'm not going to encourage it by watching. The presence of obvious agent-driven part/full time actors or celebrities makes the entire facade redundant and paper-thin. What's the point if we're just watching a bunch of celebrity wannabes, itching to be on the VIP list in Lillie's Bordello?

    Pair of absolute tools..at least the geordie has looks going for him. Wonder if he'll ever grow up, can't imagine him being much more mature when he's middle aged though

    Could there have been a lot of playing it up for the cameras just to grab headlines with him?
    I hate when they bring on quasi "celebs" as it kinda takes from the surprise of the show which is supposed to be natural conversation between strangers. Could be just me though...

    The Geordie Shore Lad has a kid on the way now methinks, left the show last year, settling down now. To be fair to him I think he made a fair few bob from the show has a good business and a fiancée now from what I read about him. Now poor Phil on the other hand living off past glories! (If you'd call them that)

    On a side note that red headed girl on last nights episode was gorgeous. Fair play losing all that weight I wouldn't of known it was the same person from the picture she had shown before.
