The "friend" was the girl who was on a date with the son of a 7th son.

Background people.might be in several episodes. Not all the dates in one episode are from the same day and they're edited together so you see the same people in the background over the weeks

Why didn’t they just put in cardboard people like they did at the Super Bowl??

Yer man John had some chance if he hadn't blurted out the Harry Potter stuff. I think the woman thought about that for 10 seconds and thought "Eh no". Imagine being stupid enough to come out with that on the first date! Imagine getting lucky and bringing a girl home and the shock on her face when she saw the Harry Potter bedclothes.....at least save the odd secrets until you are an item!

John and Mary were great. She didn't strike me as one who'd be smoking weed in Amsterdam or buying dildo's but there you go!

Yeah something very odd/off about the Harry Potter guy

He tried to control the date from the start - acting as if it was a job interview or something.

At one point he directed her to sing through the cup the song she had already told him hadn’t gone well at her dads funeral

She simply says no, you could see the reaction on his face which he then tried to disguise

Just something odd about the carry on

Just feel it's important to point out it was her dad's wedding, not funeral.

Just regarding the old guy mad John

I got the feeling he would’ve said yes to ANYONE and that’s no harm, just that’s the way it is with him

PhilOssophy · 05-03-2021 12:13pm

A couple in their 70's might not even be looking for love - they might be lonely and want somebody to go off on a day trip with. I was delighted for them and hope it lasts.

I'd imagine to give more atmosphere to the diners .... conversation would be extremely stilted if you knew everyone was listening....yeah I know it's getting aired on tv but I think it's ingrained in us to whisper when the room is quiet....plus I presume you might forget about the cameras after a while?

Imagine sitting in a restaurant with cardboard cut-outs. Cringe.

At that age they are definitely not shagging. I reckon mad John would be more interested in looking at a prize Bull or the Tipp hurlers than he would fancy having his way with Mary.

Yup, spotted that. Pointed out to my SO and she didn't understand what was wrong.

We're doomed as a couple.

Episode before was way better.

Mad Johnny and mad Mary were legends. Her vibrator story cracked me up. Him forgetting to take his mask off was so endearing. Tipp rocks and hope that they continue being legends.

John and Andrea. What can I say. He wasn't just a Harry Potter fan, but he had a robe, pj's and sheets. She was a stunner and he was good craic but jaysus, surely he had more than HP to him. Surprising that she wanted a second date but not surprising that it didn't progress.

Carla and kieran. Both looked good. But his chat was painful. Is all that he could chat about is a spice bag. She described a shredded chicken and he was talking about Oxford dictionary. Most bizarre bit was him pronouncing his name as Ciaran(a with a fada) but spelling it Kieran.

Lain and Dean were good craic. Thought they were suited and Cork guys excuse was weak about too similar. Anyway wish them both well. One issue with this is the name of the shot. I owned bars and know the shot but recently I have had personal experience with brain cancer with a family situation. I think that it's a bit crass to have a shot called a brain haemorrhage and explicitly called out. Small thing, no issue.

Looking forward to seeing the next episode.

I think Ciaran would have being better if he stopped the act he was putting on.

The vibrator story is gas.

Quick update on John and Mary and a few others. Carla looks very well in this IMO.

Would you seriously go on twice AND admit that you hadn't had even one date in the interim? Any potential partner who might see the show would be thinking :eek:

pgj2015 · 07-03-2021 12:04pm

I was watching the UK version of the show last night, there was a posh woman who was on a date with a male model. Both were early 20's. The date didn't go well, they were sat there just looking at each other at the end of the date not saying anything. Then the bill is put on the table, the model looks at the woman, she says oh do you want me to put some money towards this? he says yeah we will go 50/50 lol dead right. why would he pay for the meal, he didn't ask her out and they were clearly never going to see each other again. Yer one says she thought the man should pay on the first date and that the guy clearly hadn't watched any Disney movies.

I know Mary and she’s an absolute howl. Nothing phases her.

She sent me link to the show and I thought her Facebook had been hacked so I deleted it. Only watching now.
