The Nevermets (Channel 4)

I do think it's a bit of a 90 day fiancee rip off but 90 day fiancee UK version is so terribly forced and scripted with the conversations they have and the channel 4 production team does it so much better!

I do not know how they let an under 18 on the show and flew him out to India - this could backfire on C4.

The Nigerian guy gives hushpuppi vibes (the influencer who was living it large on istagram and turned out he was a fraudster), very disrespectful to her especially turning up late and not meeting her when she flew out with her sister previously. She deserves better than that.

Sarah seemed quite stressed in the Phillipines, she didn't seem happy there
 
I watched the third episode today and can't quite understand how they found the 38 year old from Warrington and how he would agree to go on TV show if he is so shy.

I agree the guy in Dubai is so disrespectful to the poor lady (can't remember their names at this late hour). He bought his friend / cousin to their first meeting and didn't even introduce him, not to mention turning up 90 minutes late. I do hope she dumps his sorry butt and hot foots it back to UK.
 
Although the age gap is problematic, I don't think the 17 year old has been groomed. There's no real evidence of that. Just because there's the age gap it doesn't also automatically mean she groomed him as well. He seemed too surprised by the rush to marriage, and was also quite comfortable/confident to not go along with it and speak his mind.

I think the cultural differences in relationships and marriage were stark.

I've watched episode 3 too. It's so odd seeing a grown woman saying she loves a 17 year old boy and all the marriage talk.

the woman with the 17 year old is a n0nc3, there is no argument about it. How on earth has this been put on TV? and where on earth are his parents?! absolutely vile.

100%! I know some will argue he lied, but when she found out and broke up with him why did she THEN go back, gross! If this was the other way around and it was a man with a 15 / 17 year old girl there would be absolute uproar.
 
Channel 4 should have let us watch all 6 episodes in one go. Just watched 5 that airs next Friday.

This other age gap pairing is creepy too but at least they are both adults.
 
Can't help thinking if I was Leah, meeting someone's friends for dinner for the very first time, I'd have worn a pair of leggings instead of those shorter-than-short shorts. At one point I thought they were just a pair of big knickers.

Matthew & Marie. ❤ I'm really rooting for this pair. I think they're both lovely, and most importantly, genuine.
 
This program feels even more exploitative than 90 day finance. Why did they have to keep mentioning that Matthew was a virgin? Even the description for the episode referring to him as a 30 something year old virgin. Leah to me seems like she just wanted to be on tv, as surely the process to get on the program and out there must have taken around two months!? I’m not sure what to make of Chad, I think again he just seems quite vulnerable.
