What is it about Frenchmen who think they are the gurus of love. The French Maitre D' is like a Fred mini me with all his annoying quotes and philosophies about love.

The french are considered sexy! I would have thought the Italians would have the association with being romantic though.

I am not sure they are Fred's personal quotes/philosophies though...they are so mundane as to be boringly obvious for the most part (but said in a voice like they are revealing the secrets of the universe!) Ha!!

Most of them are just stating the bleedin' obvious. It's just annoying that they are turning this guy into a clone of Fred just because they are both French.

Well it is another appendage of the same programme, i.e. the same format.

When the couple meet at the end to discuss if they have a future, I wish they wouldn't break it up into confusing shots, e.g. you see them sitting down in front of the camera and then, quite often, leaving the building BEFORE they get to say if they will see each other again. I don't understand why they do this. It breaks up the continuity for no good/explicable reason.

I know but the Aussie version doesn't have a French Maitre D' philosophising like Jean Paul Sartre.

There are two 30 minute episodes after midnight which is weird.

Yes it is....oh well, I am recording them both. It's a new series in Canada.

They've obviously cut these episodes right down for the UK, which you would guess from the fact they're only about half an hour long. It all felt very rushed and the dates seemed to end abruptly. Think I'll give episode 2 a miss.

Very annoying, I agree.

I agree the two half hour episodes did seem rushed from Canada.

First episode:
All the guys were full on.

second episode:
I'm glad that Alexa gave Johnny a chance after their awkward start.

Phew Marisa gave cringey Andrew a wide berth.

OMG the English muscular guy was so narcissistic. "I know that I am good looking". Wow. If he was a chocolate bar he'd eat himself. Such a turn off. I can see why he was single. He was a douche.

Who on earth wears a sex toy to a first date. And tells the date about it.

What a complete airhead the girl on the date with the British guy was. She thought London was a country and when he tried to explain to her that London and Manchester were cities in England and that England was a country in Great Britain she sat there with a completely vacuous look on her face. Like WHOOSH!!!!

I was more concerned about her forensic job - e.g. removing eyeballs!

I think her date was more concerned that she didn't know who he was.

Well that's the end of the Canadian episodes and nothing showing up on my planner for next week, so guess that could be it for this run.

Just watched through these latest ones on catchup. So many didn't appear to be looking for love....

The two gay guys who ate the snail and its shell were funny, but too similar to be a match.
