    That was a painful episode.

    I've abit of a soft spot for Hughie , I do hope he gets his "happy ever after". Just seeing the clips from his last date , Jesus your man was so unlikeable. The date this time was lovely seemed genuinely nice. I think Hughie needs to reflect on himself and why he feels the need for all the cosmetic procedures, until he answers that I don't think he'll meet Mr Right.

    The rest meh.

    Elvira doing the rounds, she was on pulling with my parents



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    So basically half the diners this evening are RTE 'regulars' ???????....... I thought she was all right but now methinks it's all self-promotion/ increasing the number of 'likes' / followers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,067 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Took me a while to figure it out but the Ukrainian mother got it. There's at least one or two on it for the attention most week.

    The poet reminded me of this.... cock metaphor and all!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,807 ✭✭✭Rothmans


    The tragic thing is David Brent's poem is actually leaps and bounds ahead of Mr Kango's poem.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭VonLuck


    I think most people would at least feel the same way as your man on the date with Hughie last time if they realised who he was. Imagine finding out you got lumped with him and have to sit through his crap talk for an hour and a half?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,407 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    I think most people would try to be polite. If you're as rude as the date from last season was, knowing that it's all being filmed, how absolutely obnoxious he must be when there's no cameras.

    As you said it's an hour and a half, majority of people can put "their best foot forward" be respectful and chalk it down to experience.

    Did you not get the double meanings of Mr Kango!? 😝



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    They shouldn't have shown pics of Hughies arse if they didn't want to harm viewers.

    Harsh.

    Do you commonly feel threatened by people with a superior intellect to you?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    Not threatened by them at all. They were 2 posh dubs who define themselves by their studies/job.

    Literally all we heard from the lad was that he likes south Dublin women (🤢) and that his brother is gay and chemistry chemistry chemistry. "I work in medicinal chemistry....lab tech"....just say you're a lab technician ffs. But lab technician isn't impressive at all.

    Then he had a big smile when she said she went to Trinity.

    They must have been really intellectual alright lad when they had to include a clip of yer man saying "I like your jewelery...thanks, my sister gave it to me....okay" in the show.

    Note how when Limerick man was asked what he did, he just said nurse, he didn't say something like "an orthopedic nurse in the cardiovascular metaphimbrioc ward"

    No no, those 2 are guaranteed to be fans of the Big Bang Theory and think they're really intelligent because they heard some of the big words before.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭VonLuck


    That's totally fair. The guy was completely obnoxious and I'm not trying to justify his behaviour, but I can understand how someone would feel that way! Most people would try to be polite but inevitably it would come across that you're not having a good time.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I didn't find either of them remotely as obnoxious as you. To me, they came across as two young people, who were passionate about their area of study / work. More power to them. In the future, they may lose that spark of interest and become disillusioned by the corporate world. For now, why not just let them enjoy their area of interest?

    Not sure why you're seeing them as "posh". The young lad is from Cabra, hardly a salubrious area, and spoke with a regular, unaffected Dublin accent. Granted, I too could have done without the gay brother anecdote. The girl seemed fine. I went to university with many people from South Dublin / D4 backgrounds (not my family background BTW!); she was very mild and normal compared to some of the characters who inhabit UCD and Trinity.

    Not having a go at you, but you're coming across a bit like a middle aged man taking potshots at two fairly benign young people.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭Achilles Knee


    Don't mind Pussyhands. There's a very narrow range of what he finds agreeable, in other words he's narrow minded. Extremely judgemental.

    Yet, he's totally immature. Two or three weeks ago a woman and a black man were on first dates. Straight away Pussy comes out with 'she's dripping for that BBC'. It was like he was watching the programme and on a porn site at the same time. Has a bit of growing up to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    If he's not posh why did he say he likes South Dublin women? What's the difference between north and south Dublin?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    That was the funniest thing about it..

    This was probably the comedic event of the year tbh..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,574 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    Programme was fine, still enjoyable, but not as good as the past weeks, some good matches, was actually a bit disappointed at the end that they didn't give us a more recent update.

    I liked My Chemical Romance, thought they fitted well together. She was a cracker, he seemed nice, a bit shy, possibly thought she was out of his league lookswise.

    Elvira was a cracker, also seemed to have her life back on track which is always good. I'd say she had a tough upbringing here in the 90's and noughties. He seemed like a slight bit of a PITA. You wouldn't like to be stuck beside him on a flight to Los Angeles. I wonder did he ever recite the Kango poem to the lads on the site and did they cry or did they throw a lump hammer at him?

    D'Unbelievables-Copacabana were a great match, Holy Christ, but I had her at 35, maybe 38. She's some looker. He seemed sound. The end credit seemed to indicate they got the ride that night, but you'd love an update. I suppose we'll have to wait for Facebook.

    And then there's Hughie. He's probably on a retainer to go on at this stage. His date seemed dead sound, a far cry from the wanker who he was with last time out. Hughie has a lot of inner insecurities, he'd be better off spending his money on a shrink than on a newly sculpted cock or a freshly waxed and sprayed scrotum.

    Staff are getting even more annoying this year; the waiter sitting down beside the couples is pissing me off, as is the barman. He has no sense of discretion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭tinyk68


    Also the diners were clearly told to ask the waiter about his relationship. It was very coincidental that he proposed to his girlfriend at the end of that episode 😏 to be honest I think there's too much focus on the staff anyway. It's not supposed to be about them.

    Agree with most of your assessment, but there's a few oddities in there.

    I'm late 30s, as are most of my friends. The Brazilian lady, whilst seemingly a nice person, could in no way pass for 35 or 38. She looks at least a decade older than anybody in my social circle. Frankly, she looked her age. Perhaps, she appeared younger in contrast to her date, who was an exceptionally old looking 46 year old. To be fair to the chap, he had experienced significant health issues, which likely have aged him.

    Elvira was far from a 'cracker'. Pleasant enough looking, but certainly not a head turner. She seems like a decent enough sort, but a lot of guys would run a mile from the emotional baggage.

    The young blonde girl from Terenure was by far the prettiest female dater in this episode.
