Yep, me too. Seems like a really nice guy who is kind of tough on himself.

Hot stuff!

Well I would find it hard to take that spirtuality stuff seriously either. The lovely Robyn is a bit intense I think.

Yeah it was far too much like an interview. Just give the next fella a clipboard with questions before the date. And spirituality on the horoscopes side is an absolute bomb of a revelation on a first date if the other person isn't into it. And each to their own but hanging a pendant to a dead actor is just bizarre if you've no personal link them.

I'll give you the jedward sound alikes and the serial daters but I feel sad and then happy for all the people with awful backstories. Most people have them, few people reveal them.

But it's good to see people come back to socialising to see if love is out there for them where something dreadful has happened, and I'd say it's a massive thing for them. Even if some are a bit mad (aren't we all!)

I was wondering who James looked like; then I remembered he once fought McGregor;

This thread is crazily judgemental. And I guarantee if anyone here got judged in the same way they’re judging others there’d be tantrums. People are allowed to be themselves and don’t have to live for your approval.

Robyn is lovely. I wouldn’t be mad for horoscopes either but fair play to her, she’s found herself, seems happy with that and she’ll have no hassle finding someone who’ll see her as great.

Niko wouldn’t be my kind of people tbh but he just strikes me as a young person, a bit insecure and over-compensating. If it works, good for him, there’s no harm in him. But he seems like he’s got a lot going on that you can’t see so maybe he just puts on an outward show. Even if he’s just really confident, though, that’s a weird thing to slate someone for and smacks of jealousy.

Gemma and the rocker lad are exactly the kinda people I watch this show for. It’d be so easy to judge them both too soon, but they were fantastic craic, switched on, had lived a life and had stuff to say worth hearing. Give me the likes of them before younger, gorgeous people you’d see on Love Island any day.

What happened with the Asian girl and the lad who wanted to move to Portugal? It didn't say at the end

Yeah, that's odd, I can't remember them mentioning them? A mistake on the TV show's part?


The what-happened-after-bits are fairly crap in terms of giving details as to what happened though.

So you have a go at people judging the contestants and then proceed to judge them?

Not at all. I’m saying that people on Love Island are generally there reciting off a script (“I’m loyal” and so on) that they know works because it’s reality TV and they want to win. I’d much rather watch real people who’ve lived their lives and have stuff to say. Many more people watch Love Island than Irish First Dates though, so that’s my personal taste obviously, nothing more.

There’s a difference between judging and discussing. I’m not slobbering over 19-year olds, making cruel comments about the perfectly nice horoscope girl and being bitter towards a lad because he carries himself with a bit of confidence. If you say someone seems really sound, that’s an observation/compliment. If you say someone is cocky/crazy/whatever, that’s a judgement of their entire character. And if they haven’t even said or done anything particularly objectionable then it just comes across like you want to make mean comments about randomers.

Fcking hell.

Couldn't make the church sound any more like a cult.

I've never seen a man so open about being an amputee.

Fair play to him. Best date ever

There obviously weren't too many second dates, it might say more about him than it did about his date partners. Surely at least a few of them warranted a second date. I nearly didn't get together with my partner of 20 years because he's American, we joke about it but what a loss that would have been!

blindside88

Glad for the guy with HIV, that would put a lot of people off and fair play for coming out with it on a first date

I'm actually preferring this season to the previous few.
More down to earth people, less fakeness.

So far anyway.

Really liked the 2 gay guys, they’re a good match and look great together !

Those bloody front doors !

No where near as irritating as the Kildare fella's laugh though.

The blonde waitress is a beaut.

Or the American twang, complete turnoff given he's Irish.

Oh God , his language is awful to listen to

I presume the guy with the amputation is locked....

I'd say the poor lad got really nervous, drank too much and so the swearing came out.

It was a bit. The loudness of it, more than anything. Still, it was a bit sad to see him so visibly chastened at the end there.

Poor fucker.
