That their farms were too far apart for a combined harvest.

Geographically too far apart. Which is bollox because the Bus Eireann number 73 goes through Laois and Waterford at least twice a day.

They kept in touch but their farms were too far apart for a combined harvest! Awww. I went to school with Lisa!

And you'd make it in a Massy in a couple of hours.

I doubt the 73 works around a farmers schedule.

Both of them really, they seemed like good eggs, and both very well suited to each other. The picture of them walking off with the bike was great, zero sense of pretenciousness with him, she seemed to really like that.

the girl in the red dress is adorable. Saw the cork girl initially and you can tell what they will be like before they open their mouth, ten a penny, nothing unique. the tan was ridiculous...

Dundalk girl, she is very cute. Very nice together. on the other hand - the fat English bodybuilder and the tanbed Corkonian were the epitome of vacuousness.

I enjoy the show but they need to vary the ages of couples. Nobody on it over 40.

Some of the best moments on the UK version was with the older couples and those who had been married before.

I liked the black girl, thought she was a bit D4 at first but fair play to her it's not easy having a kid so young and still manage to train to be an accountant.

The fella she was matched with was a bit of a git though, "no spark there" he says when most lads would walk over hot coals for a date with her.

It was the kid that did it for him. Fair enough, he was 22 or 24 and it's a big step at that age. You aren't usually sure what you want in life then. I think if he got to know her he might think differently, but he didn't want that.

I also think long term he's looking for a woman from his own social class and the choice is limited there.

He came across as a bit of a twat though, very up himself.

He also gave out the impression he had the ladies falling at his feet where ever he went, who thinks he's great because he went to a posh school.

The cold sore guy didn't even give the accountant a hug goodbye at the Taxi the knob.

He's actually 28 and was saying he was looking to settle down.

They shouldn't really pair up people who live on opposite sides of the country like the farmer couple. Made for great tv though.

Wonder what the science is behind it. Some of the matches end up great. Actually most start well matched too but you can't account for humans - attraction etc

Sometimes they try to get similar people and hope they click...last night the "farmer couple" and the last couple with the woman from Louth and the lad on the bike are a very good example.

But they also put in different people and hope for a clash for good TV. Ginger guy and the black woman last night would be that. I reckon the producers knew all along that he wouldn't be into a woman with a kid. But makes for good TV for us as well.

If they all clicked it would be boring.

They were from Waterford and Laois. Not that far apart at all really.

in fairness to the ginger guy, who did have knobbish/a-hole tendencies yes, maybe he doesn't want to go out with someone with a child. that's his choice.
also she sort of liked him - even tho he's a bit of an a-hole - that was more surprising.

I really didn't like how the ginger guy asked her what school she went to within 5 minutes of meeting her. He struck me as a bit of a snob and she's stunning, she could do better!

Exactly, he's 28 and he's still talking about what school he went to?!?

The quirky girl with the red dress was so pretty! My favourite couple since the inception of First Dates Ireland

I also loved how he asked her 'Can I get this? Would that be ok?' - if a guy asked could he pay for the bill in that manner my legs would fall to jelly *swoons

Awh if they don't get married and live happily ever after there is no hope for any of us! Really sweet couple. So well matched!

black girl was gorgeous and i really liked everything about her. Yerman seems arrogant and ran away cos of the kid.

The essex guy was socially retarded. couldnt put a sentence toether. His cork girl looked stunning, serious bdy, but minus personality.

The alan partridge guy was hilarious and i think his quirky girl was possibly the most attractive of the entire series. gorgeous and her red dress looked amazing.

Im glad the 2 gay guys git together, but it looked like a sugar daddy kinda vibe with the 2 of them

the culchies got a confidence boost each id say. badly needed for him

HiGlo

just watched last nights ep cause i know yer man Sam. He's a really nice guy. Bumbling fool kinda vibe but he's such a genuine good guy. So friendly and easy to chat to. I loved how the waitress knew him and "vouched" for him. I'm glad the date went well for him. Must find out the update and see if they're still dating.

That red head guy was so disappointing.....! I guess it's the way they edit it. "Yeah, she's lovely, really attractive, beautiful eyes, very easy to chat to" and then, no, not interested.....! Although i reckon as others have highlighted, she had a lucky miss there.....

Woman in the red dress was gorgeous. Lucky fella. Hope it works for them.
