00:00Action.
00:02As the doors of the first date's restaurant
00:04prepare to close for another season,
00:07we celebrate those who risked it all this time round.
00:10Jodie, you can't call them that.
00:13When the art of matchmaking met the chemistry of romance.
00:16A lot of things.
00:17A bit more spice than I would say coping for.
00:20I'm sorry, I can't stop looking at you.
00:22Some melted in the heat of passion.
00:24Her eyes are just like blue.
00:27Others reacted unexpectedly.
00:29I was going to ask you who your favourite serial killer is later.
00:32I have a list.
00:34But everyone brought the love.
00:39You're sweet enough to be dessert.
00:41We don't need dessert.
00:43So, let's join them as we look back
00:45at some of this year's most memorable dates.
00:48On behalf of my team, welcome.
00:51It's really important how you present yourself on your first date.
01:06Yeah, looks good.
01:07Beautiful.
01:08I love when people come in and they show their individual style.
01:15You can wear that green, which is nice.
01:19And my fancy shoes.
01:20They're not afraid to be themselves.
01:22You're expressing your own style and taste.
01:25Oh, look at you going back to the classics, huh?
01:29Whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable.
01:34Oh, well, look at you, huh?
01:35This is who I am.
01:36This is what I do.
01:37Exactly.
01:38Off you go.
01:39Oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't get along.
01:44Put your best foot forward.
01:45Mum says you never know when you'll meet your wife.
01:47Man, you're fucking some guns, huh?
01:49I'm not doing too bad for myself.
01:50The most attractive thing is someone confident in themselves.
01:53Yes, yeah.
01:54I actually just think I'm WAPA.
01:56I have a WAPA for your personality.
01:58Yay!
01:59I got the door.
02:00Oh, yeah.
02:01The shy baby doesn't get no sweets.
02:03So, that's why you have to go for it, like.
02:05Today, you are shy to everybody.
02:07I am who I am.
02:09I'd be a wild thing.
02:10That's a few odd.
02:16How did I not pull the women?
02:17Like, seriously.
02:20I know I'm great, so it doesn't really matter beyond that, you know?
02:25Here we go.
02:26Have a fantastic day, Gents.
02:27Let's see who comes from the door.
02:29Yeah, let's do this.
02:31Omo arrived at the First States restaurant looking debonair and distinguished.
02:40A real Prince Charming.
02:42So, are you looking forward to meeting the new love of your life?
02:45I came with absolutely zero expectation.
02:48I do like a bit of a princess.
02:50And that's precisely who was on her way.
02:54Princess.
02:55Even before she arrived, she'd already captured Omo's heart.
02:59Hey, how are you?
03:00Nice to meet you.
03:01Nice to meet you.
03:02What's going on?
03:03What's your name?
03:04Princess.
03:05Princess, okay.
03:06I feel like I know you from somewhere.
03:07Really?
03:08Where?
03:09Were you at LTP last night?
03:11Yeah.
03:12She really caught my attention, but she just disappeared.
03:24So I didn't actually get to talk to her at all.
03:28I saw her.
03:29Stop.
03:30We didn't speak to each other, but I saw her.
03:31Oh, wow.
03:32He doesn't remember what I wore.
03:33So did he see me?
03:34Well, that means he was just looking here.
03:36If he said, yes, I know what you're wearing, that would be a little bit creepy.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Right?
03:42Yeah, you would.
03:43Yeah.
03:44However...
03:45I like my men, you know, observational.
03:47Yeah, but you would like them also respectful.
03:50You know what?
03:51It feels like you're ganging up on me.
03:53You can't find love in the club.
03:55Can you find love in a restaurant the night after the club?
03:58Maybe.
04:01When it comes to finding love, some people have a gut instinct.
04:06Joseph wasn't enjoying his.
04:09It's okay.
04:10These nerves are just butterflies, you know?
04:12I know.
04:13Joseph's date was hedgy.
04:15Clearly, the stakes were high.
04:18This was no time to be shy.
04:21She's very beautiful.
04:23Oh, my God.
04:24Look out here.
04:25It's so funny.
04:26It's okay.
04:27It's okay.
04:28It's okay.
04:29I think in Ireland, people are very shy.
04:32They're just waiting until women say something to them.
04:36But I'm the person very shy in front of men.
04:39Would you like another?
04:41Yes, please.
04:42Yeah.
04:43You can tell by the noise.
04:44Mojito.
04:45That's what he chose.
04:46I don't know cocktails whatsoever.
04:47But you don't drink any cocktail?
04:48I don't really drink rarely at all, really.
04:50So I never had a chance to learn about cocktails.
04:52Never mind.
04:53Yeah, but you've finished one already.
04:55Yes, well, I'm stressed.
04:56Oh, you're stressed.
04:57I'm just nervous, I guess.
05:03Regular dating is hard, but to come in for a blind date in a restaurant you've never been
05:08in before.
05:09It's really, really brave.
05:10And it takes a big leap of courage.
05:16Don't fall.
05:17Don't walk like a doe.
05:18How are you feeling?
05:19A bit nervous.
05:20That's normal, you know?
05:21Do you think that you're a catch?
05:23No.
05:24Absolutely not.
05:25But you've got to take the leap every now and then.
05:27So this is my leap.
05:33Are you ready for dating?
05:35No.
05:38When they walk through this door, they're extremely vulnerable.
05:40All of them.
05:41And I would be too.
05:46How are you doing?
05:47I'm nervous.
05:48Hi, everybody who opens the door.
05:50Oh, I'm doing this, you know?
05:53Just stepping outside of the comfort zone.
05:55You handled pressure before in your life.
05:57Pressure's for toys, isn't it?
06:01I've never been on a date before, so this is a bit.
06:03This is your first date?
06:04Ever.
06:05Ever?
06:06Ah, you have my blessing now.
06:08The day is, but your book begins.
06:10The rest is still under attack.
06:12They've all taken themselves out of their comfort zone.
06:15They've put their trust into other people's hands to help them find love.
06:19Release your inhibition.
06:23Are you nervous too?
06:24Just a tad.
06:25Just a tad.
06:26Just a little bit.
06:27But I can already tell that there's going to be something.
06:28We're going to be okay.
06:29We're going to be okay.
06:32When you're young at heart, it's never too late to find love.
06:35A proof of that came in the form of Trina, whose adventure had only just begun.
06:42Are you putting yourself out there?
06:44Actually, you have to do something like that, don't you?
06:46Yeah, you do.
06:47Grab life by the hand.
06:48Or wherever else.
06:49Yeah, yeah.
06:51Nobody is really meant to be on their own for the rest of their lives, and I'm not over the hill yet, I hope.
06:57I have done an indoor skydive.
06:59Oh, wow, okay.
07:00And I'm booked into Mandela for next April to do a Formula One car.
07:03They say you regret what you didn't do, not what you did do, you know?
07:06There's a few things I regret doing as well, like, you know.
07:10Matchmaking is a delicate art.
07:12There's no guarantee two daters will be suited, but Leo came fully coordinated.
07:19You're matching the chair there with your lovely...
07:21Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:22With your lovely...
07:23It's great.
07:24I had a quick look in here a few weeks ago, yeah, to see what the colour scheme was.
07:27It's on point, you know.
07:30Do you have any do's and don'ts for yourself while you're on a date?
07:33Yeah, listen.
07:35Sometimes I run away with meself.
07:36I'm 13 years now on my own.
07:39I have...
07:40No, widowed.
07:41Widowed.
07:42Oh, I'm sorry.
07:43Yeah, no.
07:44My first husband's 23 years gone, and then I got married again, and then he died as well.
07:48So they call me the black widow.
07:54Yeah, I established a code word with the guys before I even sat down.
07:57What's the code word?
07:58I didn't get to do one.
08:01I was going to say the potato's too hot.
08:03Oh, okay, okay.
08:04Well, you're giving away your secret now, anyway.
08:07What football team do you support?
08:09If you looked at me, what would you think?
08:10Is it Arsenal?
08:11Yes.
08:12Is that...?
08:13The potato's too hot.
08:15Like, I feel like I can tell kind of a lot from a guy by the football team he supports.
08:19Okay, so what would that tell you about me then?
08:22Either they're extremely loyal or excessive cheaters.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Cheater?
08:28Yeah.
08:29Well, let me tell you for a...
08:30I even...
08:31Arsenal, we call them the butlers.
08:32Okay.
08:33So it takes a certain level of loyalty to stay with them.
08:36Is the potato very, very, very hot now?
08:38It's very hot.
08:39Why couldn't you just support something like Chelsea or something?
08:42As much as I do...
08:45I'm sorry, I kind of stopped looking at you.
08:48I'mma hold myself together now.
08:50Composure.
08:51I'mma compose myself.
08:53Anyway.
08:54Okay.
08:55Composure is good, but sometimes a fella can stand to be less mannerly and more manly.
09:03At least that's the way Hedgie saw it.
09:06Irish are very polite, but they are too polite for me.
09:11So you like direct guys.
09:13What would a direct guy do on a date that would make you interested?
09:19Show me how much he's interested in me.
09:22Mm-hmm.
09:23So I should make it obvious?
09:24Yeah.
09:26I like that.
09:27Well, I think you are stunning.
09:29I'm into you.
09:31If that's direct enough?
09:34Yeah.
09:35Can I sit at you?
09:36Some daters were reserved.
09:37Others came charged up with energy and enthusiasm.
09:50Arriving for his date...
09:52Hiya.
09:53...Thomas was about to take the full force of Brian's effusive charm.
09:57Ta-ta-ta-ta!
09:58Hey, how are you?
09:59Very good, nice to meet you.
10:00I'm Brian.
10:01I'm Thomas.
10:02What a great name.
10:03That's actually my confirmation name.
10:04Is it actually?
10:05Yes.
10:06I'm a big fan of the name Thomas.
10:07That's a jacket, very colourful.
10:09Where are you from?
10:10I'm from Cork.
10:11I'm from Luke and so on.
10:12Luke and so on.
10:13Okay.
10:14Long distance relationship.
10:15I think I come across overly eager.
10:17I didn't want to bring flowers, because what if you're allergic to pollen?
10:20Okay.
10:21And if I brought dairy and you're like allergic, if you're vegan, what then?
10:23So I got this key shade that I thought was nice, because that's like a memento.
10:28I'm going to try on my pocket for now, because I don't have anywhere else to put it, though.
10:42There's more than one way to woo.
10:44In fact, there's at least two.
10:46There were those who put all the focus on their dates, and those who gave generously of
10:52themselves.
10:53I brought a little gift for you, but...
10:56Oh, you're so nice.
10:57Thank you so much.
10:58Not at all.
10:59You're welcome.
11:00And I signed it as well for you.
11:01Oh, did you?
11:02Are you famous?
11:03I wish I was.
11:05Mostly on the weekends, I do drag.
11:08Yeah.
11:09Big, big drag fan.
11:11I love a boogie.
11:12I love a boogie.
11:13Me too.
11:14Even though I can't dance.
11:15I am a dancer.
11:16Are you?
11:17Oh my God.
11:18You've got a lot of grafting to do here.
11:19You've got a special lady.
11:20You're going fine there, and then you just put all this pressure on top of me.
11:24Right, can you do this?
11:25Put your hands behind your back.
11:29You see, this is a proof of good suit.
11:32Yeah.
11:33You look lovely.
11:35And his tattoos as well.
11:36I do.
11:37I'm kind of covered in them.
11:38Nice.
11:39And your hands are nice as well.
11:41Yeah.
11:42You're very dapper looking, isn't he?
11:43He is very dapper.
11:44His suit's amazing.
11:45And the shoes are so clean.
11:46And that's a nick for me.
11:47Bad shoes would be a nick for me.
11:48Would it?
11:49You can't take care of your shoes.
11:50How can you take care of your life?
11:52Okay.
11:53So this is you here.
11:55Oh.
11:56I'm actually going to put up this evening.
11:58I'm sorry.
11:59I'm sorry.
12:00You're okay.
12:01Sorry, that's my fault.
12:02You're okay.
12:03That's so awkward.
12:04Anna had brought a little something for her date.
12:08And it was quite the turn on.
12:10Pick it up and find the switch.
12:12I can't kiss my nails.
12:13There you go.
12:14I think I can afford to put a deposit on this house.
12:19Not the way I'm charging them.
12:22I'm a cruel landlord.
12:24I have a deal.
12:25If the date goes right, I'm getting one for free.
12:28If it doesn't go right, I'm paying for it.
12:30There you go.
12:31I truly hope this works out for you.
12:37Coming up, they'd been carefully matched.
12:40But would they really get what they came for?
12:43What did you say?
12:44I said I like a brunette.
12:45You're literally checking them out up and down.
12:47You asked that question.
12:49I hope I have a right person.
12:51It'd be a refund and a strongly-worthy letter.
13:06They say you don't find the meaning of life by yourself.
13:10You find it with another.
13:15Life, love, and the eternal quest for meaning.
13:19All so much simpler when you know what you're looking for.
13:22Often we don't know what we want.
13:24We think we know what's best.
13:25And we judge everything on a face.
13:27With the apps and stuff like that, a blind date,
13:29could completely spark something that you didn't know
13:31that you wanted in the first place.
13:33That's what I really want.
13:34All right, I think I have to get you a date, huh?
13:37Do you?
13:38Do you really?
13:41I'm like a burly guy.
13:42Give me the cuddle.
13:44So what would your taste be?
13:45Small, cute, girl next door.
13:50I like unique style, like something a bit different.
13:52Not next door, like four doors down.
13:54Yeah.
13:56I feel that there is someone out there for me.
13:58I just haven't had the right fit yet.
14:00That's what I really want.
14:01Did you say that you like gingers or something?
14:03I actually said I love freckles.
14:04Oh, Jesus, I love freckles.
14:06How did you say?
14:07I said I like brunette right here.
14:09Oh, yeah.
14:10I hope I have a right person.
14:12Well, it'd be a refund and a strongly-worded letter.
14:14That's what I really want.
14:15Hi, I'm Biff.
14:16I'm 43 and I'm from Dublin.
14:20Double dates.
14:21Fun for four people.
14:22No question there.
14:23But Jade, Siobhan, Stephen and James still needed answers.
14:28What do we think?
14:29Who's with who?
14:30I don't know.
14:31The only thing I'll say is because I picked, like, really, like, alt.
14:33Your hair is definitely, like...
14:34I'd done it myself last night.
14:35Well, right, okay, so then that doesn't really count.
14:36It's really hard to tell because, like, you both have little tattoos and stuff.
14:37Yeah, you've more than me.
14:38You're literally checking them out up and down, and I'm like...
14:39You asked that question and then...
14:40I don't know.
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't know.
14:43I don't know.
14:44I don't know.
14:45I don't know.
14:46I don't know.
14:47I don't know.
14:48I don't know.
14:49I don't know.
14:50I don't know.
14:51I don't know.
14:52I don't know.
14:53I don't know.
14:54I don't know.
14:55I don't know.
14:56I don't know.
14:57You're more than me.
14:58You're literally checking them out up and down, when I was like...
14:59You asked that question and then...
15:00He's gaslighted, mate.
15:01Me and James got on really well with both of them.
15:03That was actually a problem.
15:06When they arrived for their double date, it was clear that brothers Gary and Anto were
15:11of the same mind.
15:13I don't think Gary really knows himself what he's looking for, but it's just someone that's
15:18like no-one else, I think.
15:20I think Anthony does like someone who challenges him in a lot of ways.
15:22I think it would be great.
15:24Just for someone loving who he is and him comfortable and happy, just happy, bro.
15:27Salt bottles on, really.
15:28Yeah, that's salt.
15:29Angie from Brisbane was the third to arrive and the first to be stood up.
15:34How are you, Angie?
15:35Good night for long.
15:36It's so good.
15:37And this is the moment when one of you offers a seat.
15:42So somebody has to offer a seat to the lady.
15:44Oh, yeah, Jesus.
15:45I didn't know I was one of them.
15:45I know, this is part of it.
15:46Because I sit on the way in.
15:47I'm here to help, guys.
15:49Enjoying talk.
15:50Okay, how are you?
15:51My standard type, I guess, would be tall with dark hair, a short, dark beard, a really nice smile,
15:59funny, kind, and someone who's good with their hands.
16:03What do you do for what?
16:04Aircraft engineer.
16:05Oh, really?
16:06What kind of person are you looking to meet?
16:08I don't know what I want.
16:09That's the problem.
16:09That's why I need your help.
16:11Like, what do you say?
16:12Tall, dark hair, short beard.
16:16Yeah.
16:17Oh, good with their hands.
16:19Fixed planes.
16:20Yeah, there you go.
16:21What do you mean?
16:21Like, rocket scientist, pretty much.
16:24And you said, I don't give a shit.
16:25Give me anyone.
16:32Ultimately, what people want is happiness.
16:36And Carl had more than enough to share.
16:40I'm always happy.
16:40Wake up with a smile on my face.
16:42Go to sleep with a smile on my face.
16:43I'm constantly positive.
16:45Like, who just wants something like that?
16:46How do you feel?
16:47Ah, my nerves are up the wall.
16:48But you're first.
16:49You can relax.
16:50You can sit down.
16:50You look lovely.
16:51You brought your A game.
16:52With a pair of toes.
16:53I'll say so again.
16:54You look great.
16:54You're very kind.
16:55You are.
16:56My family and friends are literally so mad at me because every week I have someone
16:59that I think is this manic.
17:01This is going to be the one.
17:02But it's never the one.
17:04Carl was about to be introduced to Aaron.
17:08As it turned out, no introduction was required.
17:11How are you?
17:11How are you?
17:12I think I know you.
17:13Do you?
17:13Aw, good.
17:14I think I do.
17:14You're Carl, aren't you?
17:15Oh, God.
17:17I don't even know who you are.
17:18You don't know me, but I know you.
17:18Sorry.
17:19No, that sounds like I'm Brad Pitt.
17:21Carry on.
17:22No, yes, I'll be a very good kind of social media and all that.
17:24So, like, I know you're from that.
17:25Ah, lovely.
17:26There's a few stories I had that I would know him mainly from on social media.
17:30Oh, stalking him kind of thing.
17:31I wouldn't say that now, I wouldn't say that now.
17:34No, I'm not deep diving like that.
17:35So, he actually had a brow lift and it didn't work out very well.
17:40I thought I was the business with my face pulled back.
17:44My eyebrows are in my hairline.
17:45Oh, someone told me to get that.
17:46I got a brow lift recently.
17:48Like, everyone was like, get the treads, get the treads.
17:49And I was like, no, I know a story from that.
17:51I'm not kidding.
17:51I know the stories.
17:54Brian had also raised a few eyebrows in his time, but for different reasons.
17:59I think people perceive me as very analytical because, um, like, I'd be autistic, right?
18:04So, I think the way I think is just a little bit different to other people.
18:08It's kind of like my default settings are different.
18:11Sometimes everyone's on the same wavelength but me,
18:13and I might have to ask a few more questions to make sure I know what's happening.
18:15Yeah.
18:16I'm well able for all the things everyone else can do,
18:18but maybe not under their system if I don't give myself time to learn it.
18:23It doesn't make me less than, it just makes me different.
18:25I did a degree in chemistry.
18:26With chemistry, everything is so detailed.
18:29You're always just constantly analysing things.
18:31I mean, it's a good place for chemistry.
18:36A romance, unlike chemistry, is unpredictable.
18:40But despite their differences, daters would find all kinds of ways to bond.
18:46I play football.
18:47You play football?
18:48Gaelic football.
18:48Yeah, Gaelic football.
18:49Yeah, yeah, I love Gaelic football.
18:51Oh, do you play it?
18:52Yeah, I do, yeah.
18:53Oh, you have something in common.
18:54Yeah, that's it, that's it, that's very good.
18:56Do you like dogs?
18:57I love animals, but I like dogs.
18:58What kind of a dog do you have?
18:59I have a collie.
19:00Ask me his name.
19:01I am going to.
19:02Snuggles.
19:03It's a nice manly name, isn't it?
19:05Don't you think?
19:05She's not just all been in the house anyway.
19:07I have a Bigeon.
19:08Go away.
19:10Poppy.
19:10We got my mother a Bigeon and Fries and his name is Snowy.
19:14No way.
19:14Yeah, I want to get my mother another little one now.
19:17I start breeding them.
19:18Yeah, well, I'd bitch if you're looking for me.
19:21Sounds.
19:23I just want to leave that there.
19:27I'm everything on the table, so.
19:29I am a TMI person all the way.
19:32Cheers to that.
19:33Cheers to TMI queens.
19:35Used to be a veterinary nurse.
19:36Yeah.
19:36My dad is a retired vet from the Department of Agriculture.
19:40Oh my god, so you're an archaeologist and your dad's a vet.
19:42Yeah.
19:43That is absolutely unreal.
19:44Yeah.
19:44I'd be a fifth generation farmer now.
19:46My dad's a farmer, actually.
19:48Is he?
19:48Yeah.
19:49That's why they put us together.
19:50I'm from farmland.
19:52Same.
19:53Dairy.
19:53Ah, we're tillage.
19:55Oh, okay.
19:56So spuds.
19:56I do love spuds.
19:57I'd be neglected if I didn't like spuds.
19:59That's true.
20:00Sorry.
20:00What type of spuds?
20:02What type do you want?
20:03Hmm.
20:04Roosters records.
20:0510 kilo in the car if you want.
20:07Oh my god, we're getting off to a strong start.
20:10It is really nice if you've lots in common because you're not always trying to be like,
20:18oh, come on, would you come and do this thing with me here?
20:20Well, there's nothing worse than you have nothing in common with somebody.
20:22But part time, as a hobby, I'm an actor as well.
20:25Really?
20:26Yeah.
20:26So I've done a couple of bits over the last year.
20:28Wow.
20:29Yeah, could be over in England.
20:31Deadly.
20:31Next week.
20:32And could you bring me?
20:34Unfortunately not.
20:35No.
20:35Ah, fuck that.
20:36Close set.
20:37I wouldn't go on it.
20:38Just be in the hotel.
20:40When would you see me?
20:42When I come back.
20:43All the long days.
20:45Night time.
20:48I'd want to have some things in common for sure, you know, but not loads.
20:51Do you want someone that's going to take you out of your comfort zone and kind of
20:55teach you new things?
20:57I'd say to people I'm going on holidays and who are you going with?
21:00Me, myself and I, I'd say.
21:01Do you?
21:02Yeah.
21:02Good aren't you?
21:03I've been doing it now twice a year for 13 years.
21:06I'm like Shirley Valentine down with my little chair and my two seats and my bottle of wine
21:11and the glass, two glasses.
21:12Is there anywhere you'd like to go that you haven't been to?
21:16Canada.
21:17Canada, yeah.
21:18Canada's on my bucket list.
21:20Incredible.
21:21It goes on holidays on our own, which I haven't got the courage to do.
21:24When I came back, I was like, no one tells granny.
21:29My granny passed away before I decided I was comfortable with myself.
21:32She's the one who taught me how to read and everything.
21:34That's why I have my box glove tattooed.
21:37Because I fucking love box glove, even though they're so pointless.
21:39That's it.
21:39But they're used in medicine.
21:41And we have them in our garden.
21:42Wait, sorry, I went through up your hands.
21:43But like, yeah, literally, that's it.
21:44That's it.
21:45That's the only reason I got it tattooed.
21:47Because I was like, it can be toxic, but it's also helpful.
21:50Yeah.
21:51I love the way you know that.
21:52Oh, my God.
21:53Oh, my God.
21:54That was a real moment there.
21:55It actually was.
21:56Sorry, I went straight through your hands.
21:57Sorry.
21:58I know.
22:00Do you speak Yoruba?
22:02I just know basic stuff.
22:03Did you get me?
22:03To Oboiuba.
22:05Oboiuba, like, you know what you're like.
22:07Oh, thank you.
22:08I like that.
22:09Obviously, I can understand it.
22:10But to speak it, like, I don't know basic stuff.
22:12Like, I want to eat.
22:12I want to sleep.
22:13My parents, like, they just kept it very much so Yoruba with me.
22:17And I'm very much so grateful for that because in Ireland,
22:20there's so much diversity.
22:22It's very, very, very easy to lose your ethnicity, your language.
22:26I love, like, when my parents speak it to each other,
22:28because it's just so, like, that's their thing.
22:31You know what I mean?
22:32Yeah.
22:33Everyone was, like, telling me, like,
22:34it's going to be someone from Kaak.
22:36I was thinking as well, some from the country,
22:37some that I don't know.
22:38Thank God.
22:39May as well be from the country, though.
22:40Me?
22:42Yeah, as well, like, Tali, yeah.
22:43I was great to Wicklow and all that, like,
22:44fuck up, I love Tali.
22:46I'm a make-up artist part-time.
22:49Ever since I picked up a brush, I haven't put it down.
22:51When I got them treads, mate, oh, my God.
22:54When I put it up on TikTok, they're hating it.
22:56You do something for you.
22:57You don't do it for anybody else.
22:58Yeah, but you know what?
22:59I said to have eight my lips.
23:00I got my...
23:01I first got my lips when I was 17.
23:02It's like I was young.
23:03I went through this weird phase of just genuinely hating myself as a person.
23:09I started to change myself, like, a major amount.
23:13I got so much work done to me face where I was literally unrecognisable.
23:19People were telling me, like, basically how bad I looked and I needed to get a fix,
23:23and that made me lash out even more.
23:26I started doing online counselling, and the advice that I gave was just...
23:31it was just change.
23:32Like, it literally just changed my life.
23:34I see the world's completely different.
23:37I found myself now.
23:38I found...
23:38I found it.
23:41As daters relaxed in one another's company,
23:44what started out as banter would often lead to something deeper.
23:49If you're not happy with yourself...
23:51Don't put yourself out there.
23:52Exactly.
23:53You have to love yourself first and all that.
23:55We all would like to meet someone, and it's all about, like, sex and dates or whatever,
23:59but, like, to have a deeper connection with someone, you want to have those, like,
24:02intimate conversations about life.
24:04I'd love something like that.
24:05Have you been on any really bad dates?
24:08By the conform of this as a date, like, this is the first one of them I've ever been on.
24:13Ever?
24:13Ever.
24:14You are.
24:14They're so special.
24:17They'd shared a lot, but now the time had come for Trina and Leo to split.
24:24By the way, I know you're very independent.
24:26It's half and half.
24:27No, no, it's not.
24:28Yes, half and half.
24:28Did you fancy him?
24:33I don't know how to answer that, because I think you have to meet a person more than
24:36once to know whether you fancied him or not, but I did like him.
24:40A lot.
24:41Well, I had an extra drink.
24:42Don't start that.
24:43I had an extra drink.
24:44Will you go away after that?
24:48Would you like to see each other again romantically?
24:52Yes.
24:53Yeah.
24:53I didn't get the spark.
24:58Okay, that's fine.
24:59Yeah, that's fine.
25:00I enjoyed, absolutely enjoyed the evening.
25:03Yeah, I enjoyed the conversation.
25:05Yeah, that's fine, yeah.
25:06Listen, it was lovely to meet you.
25:07It's been a pleasure.
25:08Look after yourself, okay?
25:09Keep going.
25:10There has to be somebody out there for me somewhere.
25:12So what's missing?
25:13The spark.
25:14The spark was missing.
25:17I can't explain it.
25:18I don't think anybody can explain that.
25:20It's just chemistry, isn't it?
25:31The indefinable chemistry of romance.
25:35But Leo is wrong.
25:36There was someone who could explain it.
25:40The meeting of two personalities.
25:43It's like a contact of two chemicals.
25:44If there's any reaction, both have transformed.
25:53Electric shock to the system when you see someone, you just get that bang.
25:57When Gary met Oriel, there was an instant connection.
26:01Inevitably, sparks would fly.
26:04What's your name again?
26:04Oriel.
26:05Gary, isn't it Gary?
26:06Gary.
26:08She's like Ariel, but Oriel.
26:09Less wet.
26:10Or more wet.
26:13Stop now.
26:14Jesus Christ.
26:18Anthony, save me.
26:19Just a wild woman.
26:24The strangest things brought daters together.
26:28For Belle and Sam, it was an accidental fashion malfunction.
26:33My collar just opened for some reason.
26:35Do you want me to close it for you?
26:36Would you?
26:37Of course.
26:37Oh, please, thank you.
26:38I know what this is like, baby.
26:39I get these all the time.
26:41I don't know how it opened.
26:42It was a complete set-up.
26:43I'm sorry.
26:43That was a set-up.
26:44It was.
26:45Any excuse to get me into a cheer.
26:47Like, you just got me here, baby.
26:49We're skipping dinner here, okay?
26:51Well, how did you come to that part already?
26:53We're just going to go now.
26:53Yes.
26:54Tell me when it's tight enough.
26:56No, no, this is just...
26:57You're after opening it on her again.
27:01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:02Sorry, sorry.
27:03No, no, I want to have the pleasure.
27:04Wait, let me do it.
27:08Yes, there were all kinds of ways to flirt, but nothing seduced quite like food.
27:14I'm going to give you a small bit.
27:16You want to feed me?
27:18Might as well start now.
27:19We're going to, we're going to...
27:23Yeah.
27:26You can really taste the crunchy...
27:32It's so hard.
27:35Cheers.
27:36Then you just let them slide down the back of your throat.
27:38Yeah.
27:41Will it make me hornier if I do the second one?
27:44Drop one.
27:45I might try one.
27:46Yeah, of course, go ahead.
27:47Do you mind fingers?
27:48No.
27:48Don't mind fingers, don't mind plastic.
27:53This is so cute.
27:55The little, like, roses.
27:57It kind of looks like a book plug.
28:00It's kind of hilarious to have a book plug that is a rose.
28:08That's really nice.
28:12White chocolate's my favourite chocolate.
28:13Same.
28:13Some white magnum.
28:15Can't believe this.
28:16Better than sex.
28:18What kind of sex have you been having?
28:21Not white magnum sex.
28:31You're really good at eye contact.
28:32Is that a big thing for you?
28:34I don't know, like, I'm still working on my eye contact.
28:36Okay.
28:37Yeah, yeah.
28:38Okay.
28:38What has the eye contact told you?
28:41Um, I don't know.
28:43It tells me you're very, like, you're intrigued.
28:50Do you have any other names?
28:51Omelade is my full name.
28:52What does Omelade mean?
28:53Omelade means the child is the crown.
28:57Okay.
28:58No way.
28:59So I have, like, three names.
29:00I'm not going to mention all of them.
29:02But my Yoruba name is Oluwade Mlade, which means God has crowned.
29:06God has crowned you.
29:07So you saying that, it's kind of like, yo!
29:10To get someone here that speaks the same language and, like,
29:12really understands the banter is surreal to me.
29:17You know, I get why, you know, you guys would have paired us up.
29:19We do have kind of, like, the same mindset and stuff like that.
29:21I hope you guys had a good time.
29:23I had an amazing time.
29:25Hey!
29:26Would you like to see each other again romantically?
29:29I will put my cards on the table and say absolutely yes.
29:33Good.
29:33Absolutely yes.
29:34I see your cards.
29:36And I agree.
29:37There you go.
29:38All right.
29:40We're set.
29:40Probably the best that I've ever been on.
29:42Really?
29:42Yeah.
29:42Coming up, one question, many answers.
29:50Some awkwardness.
29:52I think I'm way too much for him.
29:54Do you guys want to see each other again romantically?
30:09Conversational gambits for daters.
30:12Favourite band?
30:14Star Wars or Star Trek?
30:16Are you up for the hurling final?
30:18They're all good, but you can't beat the old reliables.
30:23What sign are you?
30:25Scorpio.
30:25Scorpio?
30:26I want you to stay away from Scorpio.
30:29Star signs.
30:31Oh, yeah.
30:31Where do you stand on that?
30:33Compatibility?
30:34Do you believe any of it?
30:36Neil, clearly not.
30:37No, I actually, I can't handle this at all.
30:40So that would make you a Pisces, isn't it?
30:42Taurus.
30:42Taurus.
30:43Oh, you're supposed to be a bit like bitchy.
30:46Are you bitchy?
30:47No.
30:47Are you a little bitch?
30:48No, definitely not.
30:50Quite the opposite, actually.
30:51I can't help a bitchy.
30:52No.
30:54So the star signs are Neil's ick.
30:57Massively, yeah.
30:58That actually is an ick for me on a date.
31:00What's your star sign?
31:02Who cares?
31:02You're like, Bill, please.
31:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:05What's your birthday?
31:07I'm a Gemini, do you?
31:09Oh, are you a Gemini?
31:10I really like Gemini's.
31:11What are you?
31:12I'm Scorpio.
31:13It's just a way to get to know people,
31:14even if you don't believe it.
31:16I think it's a good way for people to just open up a bit.
31:18I'm a Pisces.
31:19You're Pisces.
31:20Yeah, so Taurus and Pisces are good.
31:22Yeah, they are good.
31:22They're actually really compatible.
31:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:24Gemini's sun, Taurus rising, Sagittarius moon.
31:29The way you're looking at me, you've probably heard some things about Gemini's.
31:32So don't even, don't even.
31:36I'm a Cancer.
31:36Me too.
31:39Oh, I could so tell.
31:40We're the best.
31:44You're a Scorpio?
31:44Oh, yeah.
31:45Are you a Scorpio as well?
31:47No, I'm an Aquarius.
31:48Oh, yeah.
31:48My ex was a Scorpio though.
31:51Well, we're a lot.
31:52I won't judge.
31:53That's why my ex was an Aquarius.
31:54Stop it.
31:59I'm a huge believer in fate.
32:01Everything kind of happens for a reason.
32:03Like if I went to go on this date and I couldn't make it or I was really late and something happened,
32:09then like I would just take that as fate.
32:11Like it just wasn't meant to be.
32:12Absolutely.
32:13Whereas, you know, we both made it.
32:15We're both here, meant to be.
32:19So what were you looking for?
32:20I'm looking for serious relationship that I can build my future family together.
32:27Okay.
32:28You're looking to build a family, you said?
32:30Ideally, happy family with kids.
32:34Yeah.
32:34So I already have three kids?
32:36You?
32:37Yeah.
32:37You have three kids.
32:40Are you joking?
32:40I'm not joking.
32:46Is it hard for you to watch and not to intervene when you see the date is not going well?
32:52Yeah.
32:54I'd love to say, oh, I don't mind.
32:56I can just watch them squirm, but I can't.
32:58I want to go and help and chat to them or, I don't know, try to get them into something that
33:05might make the date a bit better.
33:07How's everything going?
33:11Yeah.
33:13That was lovely girl.
33:14Don't get me wrong.
33:14Lovely, lovely girl.
33:15Of course.
33:15Yeah.
33:16Just, yeah.
33:17Yeah.
33:18Yeah.
33:18You know?
33:19Maybe it'll appear when you don't expect.
33:20Maybe, yeah.
33:21Absolutely, yeah.
33:23Sometimes people can still be having fun, but they don't have the, they don't feel the connection.
33:29He's lovely to talk to.
33:30Like, we always have the conversation rolling, but it's just, it's not unromantic.
33:34Like, yeah.
33:36Well, you never know that maybe that'll come later.
33:38You never know.
33:39We'll see what fate brings.
33:40Exactly.
33:41What's meant for you won't pass you by, as they say.
33:43Yeah.
33:43Somebody mightn't be your type right off the bat, but that doesn't mean you can't have a great time,
33:47can't get to know that person.
33:49After a while, you might think, oh, actually, I do really like this person,
33:51and I do really fancy this person, but.
33:53When I first saw you and your friend, I was like, oh, that one's a pretty boy.
33:56He can't be for me.
33:58You give me pretty boy vibes, like.
34:00Really?
34:00You see, I get that a lot.
34:01Do you, yeah?
34:02Yeah, but I don't get that.
34:04I've had situations where I would have met someone and been like, no, no interest,
34:08and then I'm proven completely wrong.
34:11Never judge a book by its cover.
34:12Never judge a book by its cover.
34:16How much was it?
34:17I'll take care of it, if you don't mind.
34:18No, we can pay half, yeah.
34:20I feel like direct guys, guys who take control, do the planning, so.
34:24Let's pay half.
34:25No, no, that's fine, I got it, don't worry about it.
34:26No, no, no, no, I feel sorry about that, no, no, no.
34:30Do you guys want to see each other again romantically?
34:33I think his kids deserve the woman who can give full love.
34:46To be 100% honest, I don't think I can do that.
34:49All right, see ya.
34:51Not exactly the answer that you were looking for.
34:54I expected it though, because it is a huge deal breaker, so nothing's changed.
35:01Dates could often be a little prickly, but the way Brian figured, that was a good thing.
35:07So what is one thing that people don't know about you?
35:10Um, I love a hedgehog.
35:13A hedgehog?
35:14I love it, I used to have a pet hedgehog called Chronic.
35:17Why was his name Chronic?
35:18Because Sonic the Hedgehog, Chronic.
35:19Oh my god.
35:20For a gift, my friend Glycer gave me like a keychain that has a hedgehog on it.
35:25I think it's the most beautiful thing ever.
35:26I think a hedgehog is like the living embodiment of like, do no harm but take no crap.
35:31Oh, the stag is the symbol of power and the lion is the symbol of the hunter.
35:36Hedgehogs are just minding their own business.
35:38You're well able to defend yourself, but you're not going to start fights.
35:42You know, you're just doing your best.
35:43I kind of think, yeah, that's a way to live.
35:45I have a theory about love, I think.
35:47Okay.
35:47So if I meet someone, they kind of look like my best friend,
35:50and they kind of speak like my mom.
35:51You're kind of piecing all the people you already love before,
35:54and that's how you make a soulmate.
35:55Whereas my approach to it is kind of like, it's such an Irish thing,
35:58but would your mom like them?
36:00You know what I mean?
36:00Yeah.
36:01I'd be hoping to find someone that your mom's not looking at you with a cup of tea in your hand,
36:05going, why did you bring him into my house?
36:08The influence of the Irish mammy loomed large in the psyche of many daters,
36:14mainly the fellas, as you'd expect.
36:17My mom applied for this.
36:18She always makes a show of me.
36:20One day, we were going to Burger King, and there was this gay guy on there too,
36:25and she was like, oh, like, are you single?
36:26Because like, he is, and I remember just like,
36:28falling into the back of the seat.
36:30I'm like, mom, please stop.
36:31He's really close.
36:32He's so close.
36:33That's so good.
36:34So you're like your mommy's little boy.
36:35Aww.
36:36Yeah.
36:37My mom says I've left a load of good girls go, like,
36:41and I have, like, in fairness.
36:42I respect her.
36:43Her giving out to me is for my own good.
36:46She wants me to meet someone,
36:47so I'll be bringing my mother to all the dates.
36:50So I told me ma sitting in front of her like this,
36:52to tell he is behind me.
36:53Emmerdale is on.
36:55Oh my god, we are the same person.
36:58She literally went like this.
37:00All right, Emmerdale's on.
37:01So I went down seriously to tell me ma,
37:03and my ma was watching Carri Nation shoot,
37:05and I sat on the chair, and I was like,
37:07I have something to tell you.
37:07And she was like, what?
37:09I was like, oh, nothing, nothing, sorry.
37:11And she was like, what have you got to tell me?
37:13I'm trying to watch Carri.
37:15Have you any kids?
37:16No kids, no marriage.
37:17I have my niece, who's kind of my best buddy.
37:19So does she help?
37:20She knows you're coming.
37:21She does.
37:22She gave me the oldest advice,
37:23and she gave me her bracelet to wear coming in.
37:25How old is your bra?
37:26She is nine.
37:27Oh, jeez.
37:28She is nuts.
37:30The best thing in the whole world.
37:31She made me a bracelet.
37:32Oh, very nice.
37:33To wear today, BFF.
37:35What an I in there.
37:36Sorted.
37:38Let's go.
37:39Marry me now.
37:40Do you have any kids?
37:43No.
37:44Not yet.
37:44Not yet.
37:45I'm like a retired racehorse.
37:47I ran me race.
37:49But now it's time to get the stud.
37:54I'd love to be auntie.
37:55I'd love to be an auntie.
37:56I'd be a savage auntie.
37:57I don't know about having kids.
37:59I'd love to have kids.
38:00I don't know if I'd want to carry, but...
38:03You do, but you don't.
38:04Yeah.
38:04Gary's a kid there,
38:06and she would actually lose her life
38:08if there was another grandchild in the family.
38:10Aww.
38:11She'd love our kid.
38:14Our kid.
38:14Yeah.
38:17Both my brothers are engaged,
38:18and like a lot of my friends are getting engaged
38:20and getting married, and I'm just like...
38:22I don't feel like a pressure to do it,
38:24but I could see it in the future, you know?
38:25Yeah.
38:26I'm not one to follow expectation anyway, so...
38:30Would you not feel like that that's going to be...
38:33that's going to be a challenge with dating?
38:35At least you wanted kids, didn't you?
38:36Yeah.
38:37Are you going to manage that one?
38:39Well, you know, you find the right person,
38:42and then it works out.
38:43I don't know.
38:45And how would you like that cooked?
38:48Medium rare.
38:48Medium rare.
38:49Yes.
38:49Not that I was judging the decision,
38:51but I was like, if it's bleeding on the plate,
38:52I might freak out.
38:54I'm not even squeamish about that stuff.
38:55It's just...
38:55No, I am.
38:57Really?
38:57Oh, I can't do blood, can't do sick.
38:58Good luck.
38:59Good luck.
38:59Oh, I did a placement in the Coombe.
39:03Where's that?
39:04The maternity hospital.
39:05Oh, okay.
39:06Yeah, I was in the neonatal unit.
39:07I haven't been there.
39:08Not yet.
39:09But I was in the neonatal unit and...
39:11Not yet, apparently.
39:12Not yet.
39:13Oh God, have I moved too fast?
39:14I didn't mean like that.
39:15I didn't mean like that.
39:17I'm just going to pull up a seat here now.
39:19Please.
39:20Watch the chaos unfold, please.
39:22It's kind of amazing though,
39:23because I got to hear the baby cry for the first time.
39:24And that's like, remember I was talking about having kids,
39:27because we went straight into that for some reason.
39:28We went straight into that.
39:29That was when I was like...
39:30Sorry, lesbians.
39:31Yeah.
39:32Bisexual actually.
39:33Same.
39:34Oh my God.
39:36Yes, it was good to share, especially when it came to the bill.
39:41And daters finally laid their cards on the table.
39:45Or not.
39:48Do you want to get that and I'll get the door?
39:50Let's see.
39:52I sent that to you, that was so rude.
39:54I mean, that's no, I don't mind either way.
39:56No, I'll care.
39:57No, you won't.
39:58No, I will.
39:58No, you won't.
39:59Okay.
39:59No, you won't.
40:00No, you won't.
40:00No, I will.
40:01Typically, I would go for somebody like,
40:03without sounding an insult or anything like that.
40:06Like, on the manlier side.
40:08Cheers to me more.
40:09Not my usual type, but I said I wanted to think outside the box,
40:13so here I am.
40:15I'm going to be very honest, like, you wouldn't be typically my type on it.
40:18No, you wouldn't be my type on it.
40:18Like, looking through, like, from the host media and all,
40:20but getting to know you is a different story.
40:22Do you want to see each other again?
40:25Romantically.
40:26Age before beauty.
40:28Sorry?
40:31Age before beauty?
40:34I would, I would.
40:36Yeah, no, I would as well, yeah.
40:39Thank God we're in the same boat.
40:40I would've slept with age before beauty.
40:42Do you know, actually, now change my answer.
40:44Don't hate the player, I hate the game.
40:45Oh.
40:53And every game was punctuated by half-time.
40:57A chance for players to leave the field, analyse the match,
41:00and receive tactical advice.
41:03BRB.
41:04In the Jacks.
41:08She's done a runner.
41:12Would she be your usual type?
41:14No.
41:15She wouldn't have been my type, because I wouldn't have had the confidence to step forward and say hello,
41:19or give us your number.
41:22I'd struggle to approach someone that good looking, like, I think she's very attractive.
41:25Oh.
41:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:27Oh, yay.
41:28I don't know, obviously, I'm curious what she's thinking, but...
41:31Is he, like, what you picture physically?
41:34No.
41:35No.
41:35The conversation is flowing.
41:37He's definitely very kind.
41:38Go crack.
41:39That's good.
41:40The time has gone by so fast.
41:41Do you fancy him?
41:43I think so, like, he's very very cute.
41:45You were right, he is a farmer.
41:48Is he ginger?
41:53She's local as well, which is great.
41:54But that saved a lot of decent.
41:56Yeah.
41:57He's actually from Caloragland.
41:58Fuck off.
41:59I can't believe you went all the way up to Dublin and you met someone from Ireland.
42:05If you were to see him on a night out, would you be like, oh, yeah?
42:09Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
42:10That's what I wanted to hear.
42:12How are you getting on?
42:13Good.
42:13How are you getting on?
42:14Are you happy?
42:15And he's a lovely fella.
42:17Oh, no, you're different.
42:18Oh, am I right?
42:19Like, do you know what?
42:21I don't know.
42:21It could go either way at the minute.
42:23He'd probably be the type of fella I'd look at and I'd go,
42:25oh, you're a fuckboy and scroll left.
42:27I thought you were always a bit mean.
42:28Yeah.
42:29But did you think the same thing?
42:30No, I didn't.
42:32I'm not going to lie.
42:32I knew exactly what you were thinking.
42:34So in my head, I was just like, hope he's wrong, hope he's wrong.
42:38Like, I had my preference.
42:39We have so much in common.
42:40I was like, what the fuck's going on?
42:43It's really fruity.
42:44I don't know where it's going to go.
42:45Like, delighted that they were the person I was put with.
42:48She's going interrailing.
42:49For how long?
42:50For two weeks.
42:51Oh, yeah.
42:52But like, I was like, go somewhere.
42:54I don't know.
42:55She's got a flight of quarter to eight.
42:58Never mind.
42:58Bad planning.
42:59I know.
43:00Bad planning.
43:00How's it going?
43:01Very good now.
43:02Yeah.
43:02You're welcome.
43:05You didn't have a hand in it at all.
43:07You were just standing there looking good.
43:09Dibs, if that's okay.
43:14Oh, you dropped it, so there's no dibs on you there.
43:17As soon as the bill came down, he took it.
43:18Won't let me even look at the bill or anything like that.
43:21You don't have to.
43:22I'd love to, thank you.
43:24Are you 100%?
43:24100%.
43:26Are you sure?
43:26150.
43:27I thought it was nice, but I wanted to pay my bit.
43:31I just think it's better to pay it without a fight.
43:33So, would you like to see each other again romantically?
43:42Can I go first?
43:43Yeah, go on.
43:44So, I think you're a 10 out of 10.
43:46Everything by you is perfect, but you live in Dublin.
43:49Yeah.
43:50And I don't own a private jet.
43:51Okay.
43:52So, I'd love to see you again as a friend 100%.
43:55Yeah, I would say the same.
43:57Beautiful.
43:59Eventually, every player was obliged to show their hand.
44:03Even when it was clear, a second date was not on the cards.
44:09I'm very reserved in a lot of ways.
44:11But you don't have to be.
44:12I'm a bit more wired.
44:15I think I'm way too much for him.
44:16You've got to know when to hold her.
44:20Know when to fold her.
44:22I thought you were lovely, but I'm going to say no.
44:25Um, I had a lot of fun.
44:27That's fine.
44:28I did have a great laugh, and thanks.
44:29Yeah, no, I did not.
44:30That's your fucking leather jacket.
44:32The leather jacket.
44:32That's a sexy bitch.
44:38I had a really good time.
44:39I just don't know if it was on a romantic level yet.
44:43I'd definitely like to get to know you better anyway.
44:48I didn't get that chemical spark, but I'm just saying that we had a great time, and it was wonderful.
44:53I'd say much the same thing.
44:58Honestly, a fabulous date, but I don't think we're suited.
45:02Overall.
45:02Well, we've come to the end.
45:12Hello.
45:12How are you sitting so close together?
45:13I know, right?
45:14I feel like you can just bounce on me.
45:15When you're sitting at the table, there'll be time enough for counting.
45:23When the dealing's done, you got to know.
45:26Um, for me, it's a no.
45:28I think we're on very different stages.
45:40Some things were never meant to be, but even when all seemed lost, love prevailed.
45:48One of the most important things is the energy, to feel plumbable energy.
45:52It's the best day I've ever been in, ever.
45:54Yeah.
45:56If you feel that, it means that it's working.
46:00And you look fantastic.
46:01Such a flirt.
46:02Oh, stop it.
46:04I've been out in town in ages.
46:07Oh, yeah.
46:08You're right, Antony and Andrew are going out.
46:10Yeah.
46:13Hello.
46:14Yeah, thank you.
46:17Oh, jeez, it's that time already.
46:19That time already.
46:20Would you like to see each other again, romantically?
46:25Why are you looking at me first?
46:26You can go fast.
46:27I had a great crack at Venice.
46:28I'd like to see her again.
46:30Yeah, me too.
46:32Yeah.
46:33Easy as that, is it?
46:34Yay!
46:35Success!
46:35All the suspense for nothing.
46:39And how do you think Gary got on?
46:41Oh, I can't wait to see what he says.
46:43Oh, he'll say yes.
46:43Is this your dacash?
46:45That's mine, yep.
46:46You're my job for me, lad.
46:49Would you like to see each other again, romantically?
46:51I would actually like to, yeah.
46:52I really, she's beautiful, really easy to get on with.
46:55And I feel like we have a lot in common.
46:56Yeah, we definitely had a lot in common.
46:57I think we had a little, a little bit of a spark, for sure.
46:59Yeah.
47:05Do you want to hit it?
47:06Yeah.
47:07Okay, it works.
47:11I'm not having the best time ever.
47:12Yeah, I can all remember this.
47:14Aww.
47:16Hello again.
47:16You actually are really big.
47:18Yeah.
47:19I think you're just so bubbly and like full of cranks, so you're top-dead gorgeous as well.
47:25Oh, God.
47:26Absolutely.
47:27There was never a question for me.
47:29Yeah, I would as well, yeah.
47:29Yeah!
47:30Yeah!
47:30Yeah!
47:31Yeah!
47:31Yeah!
47:32Yeah!
47:32Yeah!
47:34One, two, three, yes.
47:36Yeah, I definitely would.
47:38I'd go again, yeah, 100%.
47:39Yeah, I would.
47:41I would also like to go on a second date.
47:42No way!
47:43You're a grower.
47:44Not a shower.
47:45We give it a go.
47:47I would say yes.
47:48I would say yes.
47:50Yeah.
47:50Yes!
47:51Yeah.
47:52She can take me to Holland and see that farm in Rotterdam.
47:54Now to go any further, I'm going to sign here for my house.
47:58So you don't mind going on a second date now?
48:03It was an absolute pleasure doing a business with you.
48:06Can I keep the receipt?
48:07Momento.
48:22Off into the sunset now.
48:25Well, do you go in the First Dates restaurant?
48:27Do you trust them to find you a match?
48:29I would, I would, after a good few seasons.

48:33Yes, we are.
48:35And here's the proof.

49:07I've been dating since I'm 19.

49:09It's good to have nerves, though.
49:10You're going to be the queen of his night, you know?
49:12He'll be my king.
49:13Would you hate him?
49:14Jesus Christ, would you let me finish me dinner first?
49:16Even if I end up hating the person, like, I don't hate him.
49:18No, I don't hate him.
49:20I know we're going to crack the place.
49:21I know we're going to crack the place.
49:22There will be a lot of things while I'm not doing them.

49:28I know we're going to break the place.
49:28He's going to be the king of his life.
