Love this, utter tripe but watchable tripe. For anyone who isn't aware, these couples are matched by experts and don't clap eyes on each other until the wedding ceremony. You follow them through to the honeymoon. I watched the British one sometime back and I don't believe any of the couples stayed together. I will follow this to see the outcomes here. It's on E4 7:30pm.

What's the matter with men in this series, have things changed since I was young? Most men I remember were gagging for it but not some of these I see.

Had no idea there was a British version too

Anyone still watching this? Do you think any of the couples will stay married long term? Now that the experiment is coming to the end even Telv and Jon are wavering about moving in permanently with their spouses. I shall be checking on Google when the series has stopped airing.

Is it my laptop or has page 1 of this thread disappeared?

I’m still watching shysal. I must confess to having had a Google already and that’s all I’m saying. ?

Have to confess to watching.....but how much Botox
Lip fillers silicone boobs luminescent tooth whitening and hair extensions !!

I watch, but sometimes only see half an hour because DH wants to watch something else, and I watch with him as sitting down together and watching something together is something we like to do. But it’s irritating when he then goes to sleep.
Anyway I also admit to a bit of googling to find out what eventually happens. But the amouns of lip filler in some of those women is truly unbelievable. Why do they think those giant lips are attractive?

Only seen it once and had to turn off ?

Over now and couple (excuse the pun) of surprises at the end. ie Carly and Troy and Tracy and Sean. Still none of them together now even the ones who seemed a good match. One thing it proves...it doesn't work.

I had to watch it again this morning as I missed the revealing bits last night. Some were put on the spot!
I might watch another series coming from another country.

I actually thought Nasser was possibly gay ?

I actually thought Nasser was possibly gay ?

Yes I wondered that. To get to 50 and never lived with a woman makes you question why.

I also Googled 'where are they now' and was disappointed that none of the couples stayed together.
I am also watching several seasons of the USA version on the All4 player, and channel 4 are advertising a new UK series starting soon.

Not even lovely john and Melissa. Just shows how fake the whole thing is and I can’t believe I watched it !!
