Just saw this, it definitely feels like production is more involved this time which is a shame!

It was great TV though!

Rules for catfishing
1) Don't be single. This just leads to cringey flirting setups, :sick: sex talk and full blown expressions of integrity and love ala Felix. Nobody actually likes watching other normos flirt (cat fish or not). Leave that shit to movie stars.
2) Be someone your own age. We've seen with Tim that old people can do well. You don't suddenly become devoid of personality after 35. Syed is adorable but everyone knows he isn't real. S1 mairead was just 🙈 and that tube from s2 who played her own son was so tragic.
Or
3) Be someone your own sex. Nana dot is my case in point here.
4) Be hilarious, otherwise there's no point. You'll just trip up on something and the others will be gunning for you. Going back to felix... the only thing she has done there is form this relationship with Manshrieka and spoken about integrity like it's something he/ she has. Felix isn't funny, hasn't really bonded with anyone else. Not that we've seen anyway.

Any other suggestions? 😂 Obviously these aren't written in stone and I'm allowed to completely backtrack/contradict myself in series 4.

Ooooh. Interesting. Definitely gave us better tv than Dot would've been though. 🤷‍♀️ So can't say I'm annoyed really. We'd have been raging if he'd went to dot.
 
I have just started watching series one as I have only seen this third series. Omg they are all so unlikeable 😂😂 the lady with the baby is the only decent person. God the lads in it are just horrible sex obsessed idiots and the girls are just dull
They grow on you, I promise!

Although I could never really warm to Freddie. He had a mean streak similar to Manrika’s but he was way funnier than her.

Wow, probably me being naive but I didn’t think they would be as involved as that. It did make great tv though so they were right.
Think it would have been a much nicer experience for James to see Dozza though, two great big blokes having a laugh about pretending to be tiny women, would have been funny! 😆
 
I’m legit gassed to see her find out felix is a woman. I’m on the fence with what Natalia is doing she’s very much playing with manrikas feelings a bit too much ??

bloody hell Natalia is absolutely stunning though isn’t she

back to series one who the FUCK is this plum saying he’s a huge fan of Nigel farage 🥴
Ryan the psychic, he was so bad but so good at the same time😂

Ahhh I forgot about how they’d put a news article up on the news feed and then the contestants would discuss is together afterwards. I don’t think they’ve done that so far this series but I think they should. It stimulates more interesting conversation rather than all the cat fish hunting we’ve had.

No way Hunter coming in with the ☕

I think it’s a disgrace tbh, all this interfering from production will be the shows downfall. It made great tv this time but they should just let the contestants choose who to see. This series is already feeling less authentic because it’s pre-recorded. Don’t need them to add to it.

I'm not surprised when they did create some *big letters* GREAT TV from it but still annoying to know they are telling people what to do. I liked the first series so much because no one knew what to expect and the producers didn't know what the reaction was going to be, now it's all catfishes and games
 
I've just finished series 1 (I actually haven't seen the last 10 mins or so).

Freddie is awful. Entertaining, but sooo immature, bitchy, selfish, loud (can you imagine actually being in his presence?!) and pretty much a sex pest. He admitted he sends unsolicited dick picks and there would be outrage if a straight man spoke about the women how he speaks about all the blokes. I get that there is a stereotype of gay men being promiscuous but (horrible) Ryan managed to compose himself in that way. He was overly composed in most ways actually. 😂

Haha true, it was more their friendship which was genuine. I followed them on social for a bit after and they were hanging out quite often. Same as Woody and Ella (I think) in series 2, there hasn't been any of that this series because they are playing so many games.

I did find Freddie very entertaining though 😂
 
In all seriousnesss, I think Kate/Alex because he was just so brilliant. I also loved Sammie/James last year because he played the young single mum role well - though I remember being on DS forums at the time and he was not well liked so maybe in the minority. I love a good cat fish!!!!
I liked Sammie to begin with but he kind of lost his head towards the end and I found him really unlikeable. He was convinced he was going to win and I never like it when players get cocky like that. He did play the role well though!

Richard Madely going in was surprisingly good. He was really funny.
