Just don't mention you're a Star Wars fan.

I've actually signed up for the show and spoken to someone on the phone from the production company about possibly being on it so fingers crossed I get on it.
Oh my you are brave! Blind dates are bad enough without the eyes of the world on you

I know this quote is from a previous programme, but it seemed extremely apt tonight. Why are they going down this route? Who cares?

Except that I don't even like the ''mid date reports''

If I was a customer I'd find them rudely intrusive, and as a viewer, I'm not in the slightest bit interested.
I'm guessing it's changed format because some of the viewers like it (chatter on social media I guess) it didn't put bums on seats in the original format, figures were so low it was a surprise it came back at all, according to one article I read.

If it was a normal restaurant, then obviously their billy quizzing when one of the daters goes to the toilet would be intrusive, but it's a TV show.
I'm assuming the waiting staff get some prompts from the staff in the gallery about what to ask, things to say to boost the confidence or point them in the right direction conversation-wise.

If you do get on (on-screen) you know they'll find you a fellow Star Wars fan.

I thought it was needlessly mean that the big girl who dated the half-Turkish guy wouldn't even give him a hug.
Can't say I noticed that, but not everyone is into this hugging business that seems to be all the rage these days.

I did say that I want someone like minded so maybe they will set me up with a fellow Scfi fan as I also like Star Trek and you can't always say that someone who likes one of the 2 likes both. And I'm one of them that's not that too much fussed about a girls figure as long as I find her attractive anyway as the persons personality also counts as well.

I think you can expect the Christmas edition to indulge the staff more. I didn't mind it.

I take it nobody caught Gogglesprogs then?
As usual Christina had a little cry.
They missed a bit of the Celeb First dates with Mushy, he and Selina met up again and went to a Musical I can't remember the name of now.

Oh Gogglesprogs is on 4/7 now about 20 minutes in.

Yes I saw Gogglesprogs. I enjoyed it although it added quite a few more children and so it flitted between them all more quickly.

The welsh siblings. Holly & William are always good value and quite upbeat/cheerful. My favourite (just because he is adorably cute) is James as in Toby, Sam and James although he has really grown a lot since the last time they were on!

I thought playing them "Home Alone" was an excellent choice!

Ashton (with glasses) comes across as quite mature for his age. I liked the way he tried to comfort his sister (Carla?) when she got distraught over the reptile being strangled by the snake - saying that's how nature works. It was very touching how much empathy she had for the poor creature.

I only just saw the Christmas special, but I totally agree - she was horrible. Ugly on the outside and the inside. Hopefully she'll find the 'bad boy' type she said she's into and he treats her like crap.

New series First Dates Hotel starts tonight at 10pm. Fred takes over the running of a luxury hotel in the south of France, where he and his team of matchmakers welcome singletons from the UK on a two day dating stay.

Fred's first piece to camera, usual response from me 'F'off'

Oh well, bit behind on timeshift see how this goes as they stretch the concept.
Comfort TV for those who crave the Sun I guess, sticking this on in Winter.

Edit: receptionist is a looker.
Kelly didn't mention her Mother's background.
Never heard a Black person (Laurence) use the word spicy when trying to find out another black person's background, very odd language.

Way to kill a date by taking a call from your over protective dad.

Je m'appelle Joey. I like pissing. That's French for swimming innit.

Joey is hilarious. He thought the guy was a nanny when he actually works in Armani.
