SEX BAN

Sounds like the type of programme I want to absolutely hate despite never having watched any similar stuff.

So of course I’ve just turned Netflix on to binge watch it in bed all morning, having read this thread.

HERE WE GO!

Well I immediately hate all of them. This is going to be amazing.

What would a DiS THTH retreat rules be? No Simpsons memes, no bikewankery, no quizzes? :sob::sob::sob:

Okay this is fucking brilliant. Halfway through episode 3.

It all feels a bit sex shamey too me. Like these young people going out having sex is wrong somehow?

Just watched this in a 6 hour marathon. What the fuck. I’m battered

Based on what I know about the premise, I could probably increase the prize money and in the long run actually bring prosperity to global economies if I was on this show

Contestants ranked i.e. the real winners of the show:

  1. Chloe
  2. Rhonda
  3. Nicole
  4. Kelz
  5. David

Bin the rest.

Random thoughts:

  • When they’re sat on the sofa’s and lose money for the first time, it really felt like it was about to become a slasher.

  • Whyyy did Francesca not pull Harry up more on lying? He got away with it in a really frustrating way. He was vague about what happened, but because she was specific they interpreted her as being accusatory. Yes a lot of the group didn’t like Francesca before then… but I hope they feel a bit ashamed when they watch that back. Anyways - Francesca should have made him tell the group the truth.

  • Although presented as the “dim one”, Chloe was far more self aware than the rest. Thought it was pretty shitty of the show (and not funny) to repeatedly mock her for not talking about climate change? When, none of the other character’s got the same treatment?

  • Depressing that the lads need a workshop to try and deconstruct their toxic masculinity, and the women have one to tell them that their bodies aren’t ‘gross’. 10/10 for Chloe for immediately saying Beef Curtains though.

  • The lads’ thinking they’re intellectual deep thinkers was… a lot! Bryce’s present/future clock from the workshop had me cry laughing.

  • We cheered when Kelz rejected Francesca. Warmed to him and David the most out of the lads. The David “stepping aside for Sharron” wasn’t very endearing… but I like that he tried to de-escalate the situation. Sharron came across like a fucking baby through all that, and though he seems to have come good in the end, his intro of “a) i’m a feminist b) i study gender c) these things help me get laid” was a striking starting point.

  • Kory seems like he’ll eventually end up on a sexual assault charge. I know that’s a strong take, but his behaviour was heavy on the red-flags. I’m usually fairly forgiving of the way people come across on reality telly but he seemed like a weapons grade arsehole.

Thought this was decent but a second season could be really good. Think it was a mistake not to show them the money in some form. I think it would have been more intense if at the beginning they were each shown their pot of money, then watch it get merged into the group pot, and then when money is lost watch it get deducted. I’m thinking of something like Million Pound Drop where the money literally disappears in front of them. The way they do it here… the money is a bit too abstract. They didn’t feel like were losing their own money.

Watched half the series on Friday night with the kids , and we have agreed to hold off on watching the rest till we are all together again on Wednesday night. I kind of want to know what happens now though :hatched_chick:

I wanted the quizzical chick!

Kelz was awful. Literally only in it for the money

Can see why that would rub people up the wrong way, but I thought it was fair enough in those circumstances!

this is terrible. and not even good bad TV. they aren’t bothered about losing money £20K cos they banged as they hope they will get more via snapchat/insta deals after the series. don’t like the LANA concept. not enough time getting to know them when the only conversations they show were talking about sex/lack of.

seemed very engineered scenarios too, too much like made in Chelsea etc rather than big brother

made himself look a right prick too.

Genuinely thought for an episode or two they’d get to such a small prize pot they’d all just call it quits and start banging loads

But then they’d end up owing Netflix thousands of dollars…

I thought the last 4 EPs were pretty dull - just ran out of steam with most of them looking fed up that they hadn’t coupled up with anyone

thought it was hilarious when jesus bloke tried to chat up the new girl and was incapable of not talking in empty platitudes
