00:00To love everybody.
00:02To love!
00:03Last year, we raised a toast to our tenth season of love.
00:08To the shy, the super fly, and the why-oh-why.
00:13What have you gotten yourself into?
00:15Are you ready?
00:16I'm shaking myself on the collar.
00:18I need some romance.
00:20The beautiful and the brave.
00:23You're gorgeous.
00:24Who took a chance on romance.
00:25All of my women die, so don't get too close.
00:27All of my husbands died, so don't worry.
00:30For some, prayers were answered.
00:33And dreams came true.
00:35You are just a big, tall drink of water, aren't you?
00:38For others, Heaven just had to wait a little longer.
00:42Oh, here we go.
00:43But no matter who they were...
00:44I live for the drama.
00:46...or where they came from, they all brought the love.
00:49I'm actually getting engaged tonight.
00:51Absolutely.
00:51I won't send you dick pics.
00:53You are nailing this date, pal.
00:57Oh, no!
01:02It's the moment of truth.
01:07The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love,
01:10and to get love in return.
01:13So this is love...
01:16How would I describe love?
01:17So this is love...
01:20It's all that just soft and happy, giddly.
01:25My heart has wings...
01:29Love is made up of so many different things.
01:31You know, it's trust, it's companionship, it's honesty.
01:34Love is comfort and being 100% there for someone with a background of some hanky-panky.
01:42So this is love...
01:44Would you say you've been in love?
01:46Yeah.
01:47Yes, many times.
01:48I really love being in love.
01:51I just want to give all my love that I have and project it onto someone else.
01:55So this is love...
02:04Feeling it, giving it, sharing it.
02:07Raven was all about the love.
02:10I love love.
02:11I love being in love.
02:12I feel like I try to exude love even just in my life in general.
02:16So, L.A. girl, eh?
02:17Oh!
02:18Yeah.
02:19What brings you here?
02:20Film studies, would you believe?
02:21Ah, okay.
02:22Someone asked me, like,
02:24Oh, what are some words that you did not understand when you moved here?
02:27Shifting was one that I didn't understand.
02:29I thought they were giving hand jobs in the club.
02:32I was like, this is crazy!
02:34They're doing this?
02:36Though he was very much his own man,
02:38in one way, Connor was so Raven.
02:41I love love.
02:42It's kind of the best thing we do, I think, you know?
02:46Hi, nice to meet you.
02:47Hey, how are you?
02:48I'm Raven.
02:49I'm Connor.
02:49Nice to meet you.
02:51I would like to find the love of my life.
02:52Are you surprised or horrified or pleasantly surprised?
02:57I have nothing to complain about so far.
03:00I'll take it.
03:01Yeah, and a lot to be happy about, to be honest.
03:06Everyone thinks they know what love is.
03:10But no one expressed it quite like Stan.
03:13Love is somebody you can sit in silence with.
03:17Just be happy that that other person's there.
03:19How are you?
03:20Your name?
03:21Stan Phillips.
03:22Real love is rare.
03:25It's wonderful.
03:27I've had it a couple of times in my life.
03:29Um, and I'm hoping that I will have it again.
03:32Hello.
03:33Hello, how are you?
03:34Stan's date was Lorraine.
03:36How are you?
03:36A younger woman.
03:37Stan.
03:38Not that anyone was asking.
03:40Where are you from?
03:40Except Stan.
03:42How old are you?
03:42Do you mind me asking?
03:43No, no, not at all.
03:44I'm 80.
03:4580?
03:45Yeah.
03:46And you?
03:4786.
03:48Oh, wow.
03:49Today.
03:50Today.
03:51Oh, my goodness.
03:52Happy birthday, then.
03:53It's a lovely treat for me, birthdays.
03:55It's a celebration, and they say the more birthdays you have, the older you get.
03:59Yeah, it's great to have another one, isn't it?
04:01My time of life, you don't plan ahead.
04:03Not at all.
04:04You don't even buy green bananas.
04:06No, no, no, you just do.
04:07You just get on with the day.
04:10Wow.
04:12Season 10 was quite the fashion show.
04:15Nearly every dater arrived in style.
04:18And the haute couture continued inside.
04:21And they made you more stylish, first of all.
04:23Thank you for not the same.
04:25I cannot say the same for you.
04:28Hey.
04:29Oh, that's nice.
04:31Hey.
04:31Oh, yeah, bro.
04:33Look at the shades, you know.
04:34Narcos.
04:36Oh, yeah.
04:37I like the blue.
04:38I like the blue shirt.
04:39Look at the red.
04:40Oh, matchy, matchy.
04:41I think I'm a great date because I am fun.
04:46I'm electric with good vibes.
04:49So if that person doesn't like me, she's going to have a good time.
04:53I feel like you always feel good after shooting a shot.
05:01Damn, girl.
05:03Like any fairy tale princess, Minnie was looking for a very specific type.
05:10If I was to describe my prince charming, it would be literally a rapid blonde, hair, blue eyes.
05:19Even before he arrived, Chris knew this would go well.
05:24Would you consider yourself someone that is confident, do you think?
05:28Yeah, I think so.
05:29Oh, God.
05:30You didn't miss a practice today, huh?
05:31No, I didn't.
05:32This morning, got out of the way.
05:33Get rid of the nerves.
05:34Probably sometimes a bit overconfident, but listen.
05:37Hello.
05:38Hi.
05:38How are you?
05:38Hello.
05:39I'm Chris, nice to meet you.
05:41I'm Minnie, nice to meet you.
05:42How are you?
05:42Good, good.
05:44How are you?
05:44I'm Neil.
05:45Short your eyes?
05:46What about?
05:47Yeah, he has.
05:50Blue.
05:51Blue.
05:51Yeah, she was hoping for a blue white boy.
05:53Okay, there we go.
05:54Why did you have to be such a snitch?
05:56It's a good match.
05:58If Derek liked his date, she'd know, because Derek had a catchphrase.
06:04How are you fixed?
06:07If I'm sitting at the bar and the lassie walks in and I go, jeez, how are you fixed?
06:12He's around to a winner.
06:14And with that, in stepped Karen.
06:17Derek?
06:18Wow.
06:19How are you fixed?
06:21Oh, man.
06:21Hi, how are you?
06:22How are you?
06:23How are you?
06:23Aaron, nice to meet you.
06:25How are you guys?
06:25Thanks, how are you?
06:27Good to see you.
06:28How are you getting on?
06:29Great, how are you?
06:30Not too bad.
06:31Not too bad.
06:31What's the crack?
06:32How are the nerves?
06:34Your stomach's a lot, dearly, so it is, isn't it?
06:40Hey.
06:43If there's one thing that almost every hopeful singleton shares, it's pre-date nerves.
06:48And last year's daters were no different.
06:52Hi.
06:54Keep on trying me.
06:56I feel it quietly.
06:57Trying to silence me.
06:59Hello.
07:00Anxiety.
07:01Oh.
07:02It's normal to be nervous.
07:05It means you're giving your all.
07:09Bit of tension.
07:11Yeah.
07:11Yeah, but that's cool.
07:14Sometimes I say stupid things, so I need to be careful.
07:18How do you feel?
07:19Nerv.
07:20Don't worry.
07:20You did a great thing to put yourself out there.
07:25You have to push yourself, and you could be missing out on something great if you don't take that leap.
07:29Chances are the other person is going to be nervous as well, and they're going to be out of their
07:32comfort zone as well.
07:40I'm here.
07:43There are all different kinds of pre-date nerves.
07:47Oh, yeah.
07:48But no one suffered them quite as exquisitely as Connor.
07:52This whole thing's a bit nerve-wracking.
07:56This is quite terrifying.
07:58I don't know who you set me up with.
08:00Connor's date was Hannah.
08:02Also nervous, but a lot more composed than the man she was about to meet.
08:07Even if I'm absolutely terrified, I still, like, pop my shoulders back, head up, and just walk in as if
08:14I'm Marilyn Monroe.
08:16Hi.
08:17How are you going?
08:18Nice to meet you.
08:19Hi, I'm Hannah. Nice to meet you.
08:22Nice to meet you.
08:23Nice to meet you.
08:23Nice to meet you, too.
08:24How are you?
08:25Nervous.
08:26Are you nervous?
08:27Oh, come on, yeah.
08:28Sorry, I'm overthinking all of this.
08:31Oh, no, you're fine.
08:32Like, just, you're all right.
08:33Have a little cheers and just, like, yeah.
08:35Oh, yeah, cheers.
08:36So, yachida.
08:36Yachida.
08:37Yachida.
08:38I feel very vulnerable when I'm dating.
08:40I get very awkward, and I revert to my Catholic upbringing, where sex is a sin.
08:47Can I ask a really awful question?
08:49Yeah.
08:50I've forgotten her name.
08:52It's Hannah.
08:53It was Hannah.
08:53Yeah.
08:53I kind of have this thing where, like, I word vomit, or, like, I nervous, like, overshare.
08:58And I could say anything.
09:00And you're Ryan, right?
09:02Connor.
09:02I'm joking.
09:03That was a joke.
09:03Oh, okay.
09:04I would have this.
09:07What is terrifying?
09:08Yeah.
09:08I'm so sorry.
09:09No, you're fine.
09:10It's good to be nervous, I suppose, because it means you care.
09:12We all have a comfort zone.
09:16Some dread being outside of it.
09:19Rani embraced the fear.
09:22I like doing something that makes me frightened every now and again, and I suppose this does
09:27make me frightened.
09:28It's like diving into the deep end of the pool.
09:31Yeah, yeah.
09:32Nobody there to help me now.
09:35This is it.
09:36What's frightening for me is if it actually does work out.
09:41I'm open to the suggestion.
09:44Which was good, because Rani's date was Julian.
09:48Returning to the restaurant even more charming than before.
09:53My God, I can't believe it.
09:56You know those eyes, my God.
09:59Kindness.
10:00That's the bottom line, really.
10:02Kindness.
10:03Kind to humans and kind to dogs.
10:07In fact, all animals.
10:09I particularly like sighthounds.
10:13Sighthounds.
10:13Greyhounds, whippets, etc.
10:16Okay.
10:16And I love all.
10:18I have two Rottweilers.
10:19Oh, Jesus.
10:21Christ, I better behave myself.
10:24Guess what breed I would be if I was a dog.
10:27Oh, my goodness.
10:31Jesus, it's so obvious.
10:33Is it?
10:33No, it's not, because I can't figure out.
10:37Here's my tail.
10:45I haven't a clue.
10:49Perpetual motion.
10:54Springer.
10:56Spaniel.
10:57Yeah.
10:57The spring is spaniel.
10:58Yeah.
11:05My dog is my one to love.
11:06I don't need to love anybody more than I love my dog.
11:10If I was on a date with somebody and they started talking about their dog, I would be immediately attracted
11:15to them straight away.
11:16Or if somebody went, I don't like dogs, I'd be like, right, goodbye.
11:23I had a dog and he was a Labrador cross and I called him Owen Wilson after the actor.
11:29Because at the time everyone was calling their dogs Marnie.
11:31I was the best.
11:31And then how was I going?
11:33Owen Wilson it is.
11:34Owen Wilson it is.
11:36But I have a cat now.
11:38This is not going to work.
11:39You've never met him.
11:40You've never met him.
11:42Do I know what his name is?
11:43Mm-hmm.
11:44He's called Ron Burgundy.
11:47Because he's kind of a big deal.
11:53I've been told I have golden retriever energy.
11:56For Connor and his date Daniel, it was not to put too fine a point on his feeding time.
12:04What would you cook to impress the dates?
12:08Depends.
12:09Are we having sex on the first date or are we not having sex on the first date?
12:15What we haven't even had?
12:16What?
12:17Sorry, sorry.
12:17What have you been doing?
12:18No, I don't know.
12:19Have you been talking?
12:20Do you think we've been enjoying each other's company?
12:22Whoa.
12:23You haven't looked at the menus?
12:25We'll let Alice decide.
12:27It depends.
12:27Like are you wanting to just have a bit of crack and take a risk and have some oysters?
12:31Or do you want to go eat?
12:33We'll go for it.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Yeah.
12:34Let's go for it.
12:36Oysters.
12:39Food can turn a bland encounter into a date to be relished.
12:43But taste is unpredictable, each to their own.
12:46I'm not really mad on like creamy sauces.
12:49I took a risk.
12:49He doesn't do cream.
12:51Don't be naughty.
12:57This is a lot of peppers.
12:59I just like black pepper.
13:00Mm-hmm.
13:01Black pepper and black men.
13:03My wedding will be chicken nuggets and chips.
13:06He can have steak.
13:07I'm already planning your wedding.
13:08My wedding.
13:09Our wedding?
13:10No.
13:11If I buy ice cream, I keep eating them.
13:15And I'd be afraid I'd become a diabetic.
13:18Is the lemon butter sauce on the cod?
13:21Yes.
13:22Could I get it on the side if that's okay?
13:24If the fish could just be like kind of separated if that's okay?
13:27He's a self-declares picky eater.
13:29That's one big flag so far.
13:36Oh, God.
13:37Here we go.
13:38Oh?
13:38Oh, no.
13:38No, Easter.
13:39This is going to go so badly.
13:42And do you chew it?
13:44It's up to you.
13:45Okay.
13:46I like to give it one or two chews.
13:47Some people just swallow.
13:48Okay.
13:50Um, we won't go any further with that.
13:51I was going to say.
13:52I was going to spit.
13:53I was going to spit.
13:53I was going to spit.
13:54Stop it.
13:56I have never tried oysters in my life, but I...
13:58Today's the day.
13:59Today is the day.
14:01You are either going to love it or you're going to hate it.
14:02I used to be an oyster shucker, so...
14:04I've shucked oysters in my time, too.
14:06Yeah, there you go.
14:07A mother shucker, as they call us.
14:09Ah.
14:09That was me.
14:10Cheers.
14:10SlƔinte.
14:13Mine didn't come out.
14:16And like, if things go well, because I would say it's going well so far,
14:19um, there's a place that I go to that there is a raven table that I can go and I
14:24can be
14:24like, hey, is the raven table available?
14:26And they're like, let me check.
14:27Having a table for just you, man, that's so raven.
14:32I get that so much.
14:35I had a feeling, it's like, you probably heard this a lot.
14:38My Instagram is, that's not so raven.
14:40That's not so raven.
14:41That's not so raven, exactly.
14:42We're different.
14:46I see if you got the train, you're not driving.
14:48Yeah, no, no, I got the train.
14:49I'm not driving.
14:50I'm only a learner.
14:51But my full test is small.
14:52Are you any good?
14:53Do you think?
14:53No.
14:55I didn't pass the first two times.
14:57It's easier for a girl.
14:58It's easier for girl-looking girls.
14:59It's so much easier.
15:00That's the sexiest thing to say.
15:03It's not sexist, it's just honest.
15:07Pretty privileged, it's not sexist.
15:11Privilege?
15:12Pretty privileged, yeah.
15:16Do you think you're a good date?
15:18Jesus, I don't know.
15:19Depends who you ask, I suppose.
15:21Do you remember my name?
15:23Mimi.
15:23No!
15:25You got a rock!
15:27What is it?
15:29What is it?
15:31It's Mimi.
15:32Mimi?
15:32Not Mimi.
15:33Okay, sorry, I misheard you then.
15:36Mimi's the one on Love Island.
15:38Yeah, but I misheard you.
15:39That's what I heard up there.
15:40Oh my God.
15:41Oh, Jesus.
15:42So much pressure, like, oh my God, right.
15:49Hey, old Timothy Frog here.
15:50Oh my God.
15:51Look at this dude, he won't stop fucking singing.
15:53He's been there for six hours.
15:55I'm from Cork.
15:56Jeez, sorry to hear that.
16:10A little sweetness is all you need to bring to a date.
16:15But there's always room for some extra sugar.
16:21What do you want?
16:23A little bit of chocolate.
16:23Oh, it's a natural aphrodisiac.
16:27That's a very nice touch.
16:29Romance is not dead.
16:31A flower.
16:32Oh my goodness.
16:33That's very cute.
16:38Thank you so much.
16:41And sweet.
16:41Flowers and chocolates.
16:43He's a proper gentleman.
16:44He really is.
16:45I love when people are giving me gifts.
16:48It makes, I think, the other person feel like,
16:50oh, you know, they're really putting in the effort.
16:52Hey, how are you doing?
16:53Oh, that's so sweet.
16:54Oh, that's so sweet.
16:54No worries at all.
16:55Look at you.
16:56Take the box and take it.
16:58Nice chocolate.
17:00It's not my heart.
17:04Happy birthday to you, everybody.
17:08Happy birthday dear Stan.
17:13Happy birthday to you.
17:16Happy birthday to you.
17:18Thank you so much.
17:19Thank you so much.
17:19Go on, Daddy.
17:21Oh, God.
17:23Woo!
17:28Turn-ons, turn-offs.
17:30We all have our preferences.
17:31And last season's daters sure had theirs.
17:35I'm not looking for perfection.
17:37I'm looking for my Mr. Perfect.
17:39And what's your usual type?
17:42A human, I suppose.
17:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:45Broad shoulders.
17:46You know, I'd like to be having the feeling that, you know, you can melt into a hug.
17:52I don't like gym bods or any of those things.
17:55I like kind of bearish men, you know, a bit cuddlier with beards.
18:01The height thing doesn't matter to me at all.
18:04Yeah.
18:04Like, I'm five foot four.
18:05Like, save the tall lads for the tall girls.
18:07I don't need them.
18:08I just don't know because I feel I'm really short.
18:11And if both of us are going to be short, then we're going to have, like, little kids, you know.
18:16I just think a hat, you know, for my future babies.
18:20I'm not going to lie.
18:21Usually guys that go to the gym are, like, my pet, not pet peeve, what's it called?
18:25The aches.
18:25Really?
18:27Yeah.
18:30Because usually guys that go to the gym are, like, full of themselves and all they care about is the
18:34gym.
18:36I care about other things, but it's definitely something that's important.
18:42Is your favourite sports, like, what do you play?
18:45Probably hurling, I'd say.
18:46I like hurling, too.
18:47Do you?
18:48Yeah.
18:49My whole life I've always done exercise and stuff like that, like, because when I was three I was diagnosed
18:53with cystic fibrosis.
18:56From then, like, my mum just put me into so much sport and so much exercise to get me fit
19:00and healthy.
19:01Just became part of my life and, like, that's why I, like, love exercise, love fitness.
19:05That's why I got into the career of me.
19:07I'm very lucky.
19:08My cystic fibrosis isn't that bad.
19:10There are people who seriously struggle and, like, there's a lot of people who spend a lot of time in
19:13hospital with it.
19:14I'm very lucky in that sense, but it also is a huge amount of down to exercise and that's why
19:18I love what I do and why I got into what I do.
19:21What did you ask for this day, actually?
19:23Someone who's in good shape and is funny and is up for a laugh can take a joke.
19:28That was the main things I said.
19:29Aww.
19:29Yeah.
19:30What'd you say?
19:30That's so cute.
19:32Brad Pitt.
19:33That's not me, like, you didn't get that.
19:36I think so.
19:37That's not like that.
19:40My dream woman would be someone who is funny.
19:44I'd seem to go for funny, kind girls.
19:47Or whoever will take me.
19:50Do you speak any other languages?
19:52Um, I speak an ounce of Swahili.
19:56Yeah.
19:58This is a bit random.
19:59I thought that was so cool.
19:59Yeah.
20:00Really random.
20:01I don't have, like, a specific type.
20:03I kind of more go off the spark when I meet someone.
20:06But, personality-wise, funny, quite laid back and just, like, a nice, kind person.
20:14I'm a great goer, so, like, Irish and English are, like, the same to me, do you get me?
20:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:19And then I speak, um, Spanish, a little bit of Italian, a little bit of Portuguese, a little bit of
20:23German.
20:24And then a little bit of Welsh.
20:25You speak everything.
20:31Wowing your date by revealing a skill or a hidden talent can be really impressive.
20:36Or, you know, slightly unnerving.
20:40I'm trained in karate as well, so.
20:42Wow.
20:42Are you black belt, or...?
20:43Yeah.
20:44Okay.
20:45So I don't want to get on the wrong side of you.
20:51I like to paraglide, believe it or not.
20:54Wow.
20:54That's a bit daredevil-y, isn't it?
20:58I'm a musician, and I'm in a band.
21:00It's me and my brother, Elias.
21:01We're like the Gallagher brothers, but better looking.
21:05I've done a lot of dancing.
21:07Maybe you could teach me how to waltz.
21:08I'll give you a dad joke.
21:10Okay, go on.
21:11A polar bear walks into a bar, and he says to the bartender,
21:15Can I have a... pint, please?
21:20And the bartender says,
21:23Why the Pauls?
21:24And he says,
21:25I was born with them.
21:30Used judiciously,
21:31A little humour can go a long way on a date.
21:34Roy was a one-man entertainment system.
21:37Neil.
21:38Roy, nice to meet you.
21:38As a kid, I would memorise movies off by heart,
21:42and regurgitate the lines.
21:43Like, where you can do the Arnold spots and they go, you know?
21:47Probably annoyed the heck out of friends and family.
21:50Owen Wilson from like, you know, wow.
21:52Everyone does the wow.
21:53I can't stop it.
21:54Like, I can't switch it off.
21:55Hey, old Kermit the Frog here.
21:57So, I'm going to teach you all how to change the sound of your voice,
21:59the inflection of your voice.
22:00What do you mean, you don't know how to do it?
22:02What?
22:02You don't know how to do it?
22:03You don't know how to do it?
22:04Oh my God.
22:08Hello.
22:11Owen and Katie were a picture of innocence from the moment they met.
22:15Despite the fact that Owen had been around a bit.
22:19In the last few years, I was in Venice, New York, Paris, Athens, London, Amsterdam and Edinburgh.
22:26The one I probably had the most fun in was Amsterdam.
22:29Because...
22:31I don't know what you're implying.
22:32Because?
22:33No, I am a good Catholic boy.
22:35I don't know what you're implying.
22:38I was going to say because I found a karaoke bar.
22:41Did you?
22:42Yeah.
22:42I literally was only in Amsterdam.
22:43I'd love to do karaoke in Amsterdam.
22:45It was great.
22:47I went in there like literally every night after I found it.
22:49And by the end, they were like advertising me.
22:52They were like giving me drinks or they opened the door like,
22:53Come in, look at this dude, he won't stop fucking singing.
22:56He's been there for six hours.
22:57Can you sing though?
22:58Or is it just that you're having fun?
23:00Can I sing?
23:02Can I sing, Katie?
23:05I'm sorry, did I underestimate you?
23:07I mean, how well can you sing?
23:09Look, I don't like the brag.
23:11Again, very modest.
23:13I am the most beautiful singer in all of the history of singing ever.
23:19In this world, there are lovers and there are fighters.
23:23Ben was a bit of both.
23:26By day, teach karate.
23:28Oh, cool.
23:29And then by night, I do music musician.
23:32I don't want to say it's numero uno because then karate's numero dos, right?
23:35But that's my main love.
23:37So tell me, what's your usual type?
23:39My usual type?
23:40Yeah.
23:42Musician, I guess.
23:43Musician, okay.
23:46Story.
23:48The story with Saoirse was that she was born to play.
23:52And right now, she was keen to harmonise.
23:55What would really impress you?
23:58Musician.
23:58I'd be like, hi!
24:00Yeah, let's do this.
24:02Hello.
24:03Hello.
24:03How are you?
24:04Hi, I'm Saoirse.
24:05Saoirse?
24:05Nice to meet you.
24:07Ben.
24:08How are you?
24:09Oh, man, I'm class.
24:10I love the piercings.
24:12Thanks so much.
24:12Great.
24:13Where are you from?
24:14I'm literally just up the road.
24:15What about you?
24:16I'm from Cork.
24:18Geez, sorry to hear that.
24:25Thankfully, barring the odd faux pas, the road to romance was paved with common interests
24:31and shared experience.
24:40I sing, I play harmonica, I play guitar, I play the banjo.
24:43I have a dream of learning the banjo.
24:45I have a banjo back in LA.
24:47I have a banjo at home.
24:48So did you do speech and drama when you were younger?
24:51I was also speech and drama.
24:52Very nice.
24:55I love theatre.
24:57That would be something that I really would like to share with somebody.
24:59I like the theatre and culture.
25:02I love the theatre and Newbridge.
25:03I was named after Bob Dylan.
25:05I was named after Jules Holland.
25:07Star.
25:13I love odd boys.
25:15Likewise.
25:15I tried being normal once.
25:17Oh no, it's too boring.
25:18It was the worst ten minutes of my life.
25:20I live long and prosper.
25:21Live long and prosper.
25:22Do you like Star Trek?
25:23I watched the new movies.
25:25If the date can continue, we're fine.
25:28The word that's spelled S-C-O-N-E.
25:31Scone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:32Thank you, I say scone.
25:34You're gonna say scone.
25:35It's gonna say scone.
25:35You're saying all the right things to be fair,
25:37and I literally agree with everything you said there.
25:39Yeah?
25:39I say you're gonna be a perfect match.
25:47Kevin arrived for his date knowing that whatever happened,
25:51he was loved.
25:53By friends and colleagues, Matteo and Neil.
25:57How's it going, buddy?
25:58I studied that to make sure I got the door right.
26:00How are you?
26:02I like the suit, looking sharp.
26:05How's it going, bud?
26:06Kevin!
26:07What's the story?
26:09You're welcome.
26:10And now I feel the pressure.
26:11Now I have to get him somebody, uh...
26:13Just gotta get him someone wordy of it, you know?
26:17Small world.
26:18And then when Gab arrived...
26:20All right, Kev?
26:20It got a little smaller.
26:22How's it going?
26:24How are you, man?
26:25Oh, my God.
26:26This was a joke.
26:29Do you know each other?
26:30We do know each other.
26:30Not very well, but we've met before.
26:33I used to work with her sister.
26:35Yeah, you worked with her.
26:36Oh, wow.
26:37It's a small, small world.
26:39I like people that, from one side, they enjoy a lot the party and going out.
26:44And from the other side, like, they do enjoy time in the house, watching a movie, things like this.
26:49I'm really like the devil and the saint. Both sides really strong.
26:55I love concerts.
26:56You know what I'm saying?
26:57Taylor Swift.
26:58Oh, really?
26:58That were the best days of my life.
27:00Really? You're a Swifty?
27:01I don't know what nobody has said, but I think that Taylor is the next coming of Jesus Christ.
27:09I love Taylor Swift.
27:11I'm a Swifty.
27:12I suppose I'm in my fearless era.
27:16What year are you in?
27:18I don't know. I really don't understand, like, the brat somewhere.
27:21What?
27:22I think I'm really behind.
27:24If you see, like, a brat somewhere.
27:27We're talking about Taylor.
27:28No, I know. I'm like, just like a change.
27:29I'm like, now is another thing. I don't understand.
27:31No, I don't get the brat.
27:33I think I've gotten a bit old or something.
27:35I think, no, it's not us.
27:37We're not old. We're young.
27:39I know, I can't even...
27:41I'm telling you now, my sister loved brats.
27:44And I remember everyone being like, oh, brats, brats.
27:47But we just about missed it.
27:52I think brats was, like, peak when we were, like, fetuses.
27:57Yeah.
28:01So, it's not us, it's them.
28:08And unclench.
28:10Confusion, crossed wires, awkward silences.
28:13In the end, all that matters is how you recover from them.
28:18What?
28:20Spits out you and them, like, within the first ten minutes of a first date.
28:23You are nailing this date, pal.
28:26Now, would all your friends be dead?
28:29Eh, no.
28:31This is because it hurts me to shave.
28:34Okay.
28:35But if some lovely lady would like to be kissed and rushed, I would remove it.
28:41We're doing a switcheroo.
28:44As in what?
28:45As in, you're going back there.
28:46Oh, yeah.
28:47Killian's coming up here.
28:48Yeah.
28:48Okay, very bad.
28:54Hello there.
28:55I'm very down-to-earth.
28:57I'm a bit of a messer.
28:58I like a laugh and joke.
29:00Like, I'd be the type of guy that would, like, hide under your bed.
29:05Hide under the bed?
29:08Oh, my God.
29:08And scare you.
29:09Oh, my God.
29:11Seriously?
29:13Yeah.
29:16Just for fun.
29:17Just to get a bit of a laugh out of it.
29:21I think when you walk as a horse, you probably have, like, little instruments and stuff.
29:25Like, if somebody's hiding in their bed, you're probably going to, like, stab somebody.
29:30No, I don't have instruments at home.
29:34Why would I?
29:35Oh, my God.
29:37It's part of your job.
29:38Like, you pick up, I don't know, different things.
29:40Like, to do.
29:41Surgery and all, no?
29:43Do you think I'm Dexter or something?
29:45What does Dexter do?
29:46Is he, like, is it, like, ER?
29:48No, he kills people.
29:51Oh.
29:52This took an unexpected turn.
29:57Sorry.
29:59Can I get Mamahito to this table?
30:02I actually, I'm going to have to bring you back to your other table.
30:05For you to continue your date.
30:07Oh.
30:08Okay.
30:09For real.
30:10Like, this isn't, um, speed dating.
30:15I guess.
30:17It's lovely to meet you though.
30:19Good luck.
30:19You follow me.
30:20I'll send your date back over.
30:22Right, I'll see you.
30:24Hi.
30:29It can be hard to tell how well a date has gone.
30:33Harder still to manage expectations.
30:36Well, how did it go?
30:38How did you get on?
30:39Great.
30:41Have we had a chance to look at this?
30:42Oh, no, we haven't.
30:44Oh, yeah, I'll get this.
30:46Okay.
30:46No, no, no.
30:47Not again?
30:47No, no, you're not.
30:48No, you're not.
30:49Wow.
30:50So, would you guys like to see each other again?
30:57I had a lot of fun.
30:58I thought it was great.
30:59I just don't feel that the spark I was looking for was 100% there.
31:04It's zero reflection on you.
31:06I do think you're great.
31:06I think we had a lot of fun.
31:07But it just wasn't there for me.
31:10Okay.
31:10Okay, that's fair.
31:12Cool.
31:12That's fair.
31:13I would have said yes, but now I'm going to say I think the spark wasn't there fully.
31:21Some couples were a lot easier to read, like Raven and Connor.
31:25Their date started sweet and just got sweeter.
31:29I normally don't like this, but let's do it.
31:31Let's do it.
31:32Okay, right?
31:36Do you think there's a bit of a spark?
31:39I'd like to think so.
31:40You're fine.
31:41It's okay.
31:43Would you like to see each other again romantically?
31:47Can I go first?
31:49Yes.
31:50100%.
31:50Easy yes.
31:52You know, I think you're a lovely guy, and it was so great getting...
31:56I can't even fake it.
31:57Yeah, absolutely.
31:58No, totally.
31:58100%.
31:59I'm the worst actor.
32:01I was like, I'm a bit spit.
32:03No, it's...
32:04Yes, absolutely.
32:05100%.
32:05No.
32:07No as in yes.
32:09That was nice.
32:10That was fun.
32:10I thought it was nice.
32:14Yay!
32:17What do you think is going to happen?
32:18Are we going to have like a pity fog?
32:20Oh my God, no.
32:21You have like 16 children.
32:23It's a seven at the moment.
32:25Seven?
32:25Yeah.
32:25How would you like to do this?
32:28Would you like to see each other again romantically?
32:38Online dating.
32:39You can roll with it.
32:40But why would you?
32:41There's no substitute for the real thing.
32:44Swipe left.
32:45Swipe left.
32:46Swipe left.
32:47Swipe right.
32:48Swipe left.
32:49Swipe left.
32:50Swipe left.
32:50Swipe left.
32:50It's a nightmare out there, I think.
32:52Yeah.
32:53A waste of time.
32:55Seriously, I hate them, but I just go on them for a look.
32:58Cute dog though.
33:00I'm not a texter.
33:01I don't like small talk.
33:02What's your favourite colour?
33:03I don't care.
33:04Yeah.
33:05Swipe left.
33:06I feel like I haven't had much luck.
33:08So many texts coming in, some of them can be a bit blocked straight away.
33:13Nude pictures.
33:14Sleazy chat up lines.
33:16Jeez, that's kind of grim.
33:17Oh yeah, brutal.
33:18I won't send you dick pics because I want to see the disappointment in your face when you see
33:22me, Mickey.
33:25My friends paired me to their TVs and they were like, no, no, so we're changing this.
33:28I do that with my friends as well.
33:31Tinder on the telly.
33:33Swipe left.
33:34So you know the quickest way to get someone from stop talking to you on a dating app is,
33:37hey, do you want to go for a drink?
33:39Boom.
33:39The definition of madness, isn't it?
33:41Like doing the same thing over and over again.
33:42Yeah.
33:43And expecting a different result.
33:45I wish that we could go back to when there was like social dances.
33:48Like a meet cute.
33:52What?
33:53A meet cute.
33:54Yeah.
33:56My grandparents met on a train in like Switzerland or something.
34:00See, it can happen anywhere.
34:02But if somebody came up to me like on a bus or something, I'd be like, stranger danger.
34:06There's this great restaurant I know, they actually set you up on a blind date.
34:09Um, I can get you, uh, get your imagination if you want.
34:16You call it madness, but I call it love.
34:20This is my first date.
34:22However, there was one time I asked someone on a date.
34:26So we went out and it was all right.
34:29But afterwards, I was like, there's something wrong here.
34:32Mm-hmm.
34:33So I asked on another and she was like, yeah, but I was like, you do know what's a date?
34:36And she was like, what?
34:39Turns out she had no idea.
34:41Oh, God.
34:42She thought we were just hanging out with mates.
34:45Oh, my God.
34:45No.
34:47Paid for it and everything.
34:48I met a guy on Tinder and we were talking and it was like really nice.
34:52And then I said, let's meet at Street 66 to have a dream.
34:55Yeah.
34:56I arrived actually early and then 45 minutes later of the time that we say like, man,
35:01where are you?
35:02Like, I'm here.
35:03Like, waiting for you.
35:04And then he answered me immediately and he said, actually, I'm here.
35:08Yeah, I have been here since you arrived.
35:09But the thing is, I don't look like the guy who opened the picture.
35:12What the fuck?
35:13You don't recognize me because the pictures that I sent from 10 years ago.
35:17What do you think is going to happen?
35:18Are we going to have like a pity fuck?
35:19Like, I'm going to get drunk and I'm going to go with you.
35:22So dating in Dublin is really fun, yeah?
35:23We did.
35:26So how would this Dublin date end?
35:29How's it going?
35:30For Gabo and Kevin.
35:33Do you think he fancied you?
35:35I think so.
35:37I'm like 80% sure he did.
35:39Or he could just be being nice.
35:40But yeah, I fancy him, so.
35:44So, would you like to see each other again romantically?
35:50You first.
35:54So, I know him and I do think that we can have so much fun together.
35:58I do think like maybe romantically.
36:01Not your boss?
36:02Yeah.
36:03It's fun.
36:03I will not match.
36:04But you don't think I'm the fella for you, kind of thing?
36:06Yeah.
36:07No.
36:34No.
36:37No.
36:37No.
36:37How many kids do you like?
36:39Three?
36:40Yeah, me too.
36:41I'm ready to have babies.
36:42I literally have a folder where I'm recording videos saying like, hi my future kids.
36:47I want to show my babies how mum was so cool.
36:51I want two boys but I actually wouldn't mind a girl.
36:54I don't know, I feel like if I had a child I actually wouldn't care less.
36:59About the child?
37:01No, about like their gender.
37:02Oh right.
37:03Do you know what I mean?
37:04I donated sperm in Australia.
37:06You have like 16 children?
37:08Not 16.
37:08There's seven at the moment.
37:10Seven?
37:10Yeah.
37:10There's gonna be eight.
37:11Nice.
37:12I may never use my own sperm to have my own biological children.
37:16So being able to give someone else the opportunity to have a family was just something selfless
37:22that I kind of couldn't pass by.
37:26And what's your perspective on like marriage and having kids and stuff?
37:28You definitely want kids, definitely.
37:30It's not like, oh, it's something that I want to do tomorrow.
37:35But if I'm gonna waste my time dating somebody.
37:38This is a waste of time, is it?
37:40I mean, it's not a waste of time if you mean what you're saying, if you genuinely want
37:44to have a family and whatever and actually move forward in your life.
37:48Like all my friends settling down and stuff, it's definitely something I want like 100%.
37:51And like have someone I can get on with, have fun with and, you know, build a life together.
38:00Cheers to that.
38:04I've lived on my own for years.
38:07Yeah, seen, seen.
38:07I want to be doing that taxi run to football matches.
38:11My friends are, are coaching the, the under sixes or, you know what I mean?
38:16That sort of stuff.
38:17I love all that.
38:17I want to meet someone that would say, come on, do you fancy doing this?
38:21They'd be like, yeah, let's, let's do it.
38:23Let's go be physically active.
38:24Let's enjoy, go kayaking.
38:26Yeah, 100%.
38:27Plenty of lakes in Calvin.
38:28Can you swim?
38:29365 lakes.
38:30We're bound to get a lake to canoe on.
38:32Have you ever been to Calvin?
38:34No.
38:34Oh, there you go.
38:36Would you like to see each other again romantically?
38:38Yes.
38:39Ah.
38:40Wow.
38:42Class.
38:43Boom.
38:44Here we go.
38:44Absolutely.
38:45100%.
38:46I'd love to see.
38:47Yeah, yeah.
38:48Your class.
38:52Perfect date.
38:53Perfect.
38:54He has the same values as me.
38:56He wants to get married.
38:58He wants to have kids.
38:59You found me that unicorn.
39:01I would never fall in love until I found her.
39:08Now, I'm just going to pop this here.
39:11Before the end, every dater would be tested in the delicate art of the pickup.
39:16How do we want to do this?
39:17We'll split it.
39:18No.
39:18Yes.
39:19If you want to get a drink after, you can get me a drink after.
39:21Deal?
39:21Okay.
39:22Oh, oh, oh.
39:23I cheated that.
39:26Should I?
39:27Yes, please.
39:28Okay.
39:29I'll get this if that's okay.
39:30Thank you very much.
39:30He may be younger, but he knows the rules of the game, huh?
39:33No.
39:37I'm going to grab this if that's all right.
39:39Are you sure?
39:39Yeah, yeah.
39:39Go for it.
39:41I'll pay.
39:42You are.
39:42I'm a big NHS member, don't I?
39:44I'm a rich bitch.
39:47I'm just going to drop this here.
39:48I'm just going to leave that for a few minutes.
39:49No problem.
39:50What do you mean?
39:51It's 15?
39:5120?
39:5230?
39:5214 hours?
39:53Three hours?
39:54Then we'll do the wash and then we'll do the dry.
39:57We just turn on it.
39:59Ha ha ha.
40:00Ha ha ha.
40:01Sorry guys, just going to drop that there and I'll come back in a few minutes.
40:05What is that?
40:06Oh.
40:07Okay.
40:09Are you playing dumb?
40:10What is that?
40:12I was trying to get him to pay for it all but he said no.
40:16Ha ha ha.
40:17Ha ha ha.
40:18Ha ha ha.
40:19Ha ha ha.
40:20Ha ha ha.
40:23There's no way to pre-pay the bill, is there?
40:25Any chance?
40:26We split?
40:28Yeah, sure.
40:28Why not?
40:31I'll get it.
40:32No.
40:32No, I'll get it.
40:33No, I'll get it.
40:34No, please.
40:34I insist.
40:36It was a pleasure.
40:37Thank you so much.
40:41Yeah.
40:42Don't quickly before.
40:43Yeah, no worries.
40:44You're dead right now.
40:44It solves all the awkwardness.
40:45Yeah, you know.
40:46Oh, you get this, I get it.
40:47Yeah, I know, don't worry about that.
40:48It's all done.
40:49How's the company for you?
40:53Rather, rather spectacular actually.
40:54Yeah?
40:55Yeah.
40:56I'll get it.
40:57Are you sure?
40:57Yeah.
40:58Do you think she fancied you?
41:00I'm terrible at knowing.
41:01I think so.
41:03Like, she was laughing a decent amount.
41:05Have cash if you need.
41:06No, I'm not.
41:07Promise you're shivering.
41:08It's the chivalrous thing to do, you know what I mean?
41:10Okay, thank you so much.
41:11I really do appreciate that.
41:12Hold on.
41:12No bother.
41:13Would you like to see each other again romantically?
41:16Yes.
41:18You're really nice, and it was really, really sweet, and I appreciate you paying for everything,
41:24and it was really lovely, but I just don't think there's anything there to explore.
41:28All right.
41:29I'm sorry.
41:30It's all right.
41:31Okay.
41:31It's how it is.
41:38Nice.
41:38Hi.
41:39I need to settle you up.
41:40Okay.
41:43How would you like to do this?
41:50Well, paper.
41:51Are you sure you don't want to split?
41:53You don't want to go halfsies?
41:55I'm getting that awkward look now.
41:59I'm perfectly fine to paper.
42:00It's fine.
42:01Aw, thanks so much.
42:05Would you like to see each other again romantically?
42:07You go first.
42:12I would not like to see each other again romantically.
42:17Yeah.
42:20It was nice to meet you though, Mark.
42:22Yeah, she's beautiful.
42:23Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous.
42:24I'm not his type though.
42:48I don't know if I liked you, but I don't know if it's romantic, it's more like friendship.
42:53I don't know.
42:53Yeah.
42:56I think you're an absolutely lovely guy.
42:59But romantically?
43:00Mm-hmm.
43:01Then probably you know.
43:03I would definitely say yes.
43:05Sorry.
43:06No, that's okay.
43:07Falling on my head, they keep falling.
43:10I need a bit more of an emotional connection.
43:14You know what I mean?
43:15Yeah.
43:16If it don't resonate, it don't resonate.
43:18Exactly.
43:18Absolutely.
43:19Yeah.
43:20Romantically, I'm not sure, but I would love to see you again as a friend for sure.
43:24I think we got on.
43:25That's exactly what I was going to say.
43:26Yeah!
43:29Romantically, I don't know if we, like, clicked.
43:36I don't think I'm good at reading signs.
43:38It's hard to know the difference between, like, a friendship and, like, romantic.
43:42She's beautiful.
43:43I mean, I certainly would like to see her, if it's possible, again.
43:48Because I'm free.
43:50Are you sure we don't want to go...?
43:54To the end.
43:56To the end.
43:56To the end.
43:57Okay.
44:01Would you like to see each other again romantically?
44:09Unfortunately, no.
44:11Fine.
44:14Sorry.
44:15It's all right.
44:18Love can be fickle, elusive, mysterious.
44:22But you just know when two people are right for each other.
44:27It's the little things.
44:28I think you can kind of tell, because there's always that, like, touch of the hair, the leaning in.
44:36I had a good day, did you?
44:37Yeah, yeah.
44:38I did too.
44:38Yeah.
44:39You look really lovely tonight.
44:41Yeah.
44:44Are you enjoying yourself?
44:46I'm going to love that.
44:49Yeah, sometimes you can just pick up on a vibe.
44:51And the famous chocolate heart.
44:54Chocolate heart.
44:54If there's just, like, synergy, like if people are getting on well, you can just kind of feel it.
44:58I'll give you half.
44:59Do you want a half of my ball?
45:01Jesus, it's that stage already.
45:03You're made for each other.
45:06Yeah, it's that tension.
45:07You feel the sparks.
45:08I'm just going to hold this down.
45:10And then, I'm so sorry.
45:12We have the little thing we'd love you to do.
45:14Sure.
45:15Oh, okay.
45:18Are you ready?
45:19Here, you can get up.
45:21Here's the words.
45:21You're going to have to join them.
45:24The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay.
45:29Love it.
45:30Love it.
45:30You cry.
45:36Yeah!
45:38Oh, yeah!
45:38Oh, yeah!
45:39Oh, yeah!
45:40Oh, yeah!
45:41Do you like to see each other again romantically?
45:44If you're going to say no, you have to go first.
45:46That way, applause will be my ability.
45:48No, you have to go first.
45:49You have to be a gentleman.
45:50Yeah, sure.
45:51I suppose I would, yeah.
45:52You suppose you would or you would?
45:54I'm being down the middle.
45:55No, I definitely would as well.
45:58Yeah?
45:59Yeah?
45:59Yeah?
46:00Yeah?
46:01All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you.
46:09I'm definitely dipping back to court today.
46:12100%.
46:13Yes, 100%.
46:15Breaking my heart.
46:17Ditching me.
46:18Do you want me to stay here?
46:19Yeah, why not?
46:20Move up.
46:22Would you like to see each other again romantically?
46:26Do you answer first for me?
46:28Do you go first?
46:29Yeah, I would.
46:30Definitely.
46:32I would definitely, yes.
46:34I would definitely, yes.
46:34After that's like her.
46:36And it was enchanting to meet you.
46:44Mm-hmm.
46:46Uh, cancelled.
46:47No, I'm joking.
46:48Come on.
46:52Oh, God.
46:53Here we go.
46:54Would you guys like to see each other again?
47:00Oh, yeah?
47:01I would like to.
47:02Yeah, yeah.
47:03No!
47:03Oh, fuck.
47:07She's wearing buckets.
47:08Yeah.
47:09Like, is it hot in here?
47:21I had a really nice time.
47:22It's probably the best first day I've had in a long time.
47:25Let me ask the question.
47:26Oh, you want to ask the questions.
47:28Sorry.
47:29That is for Jo.
47:30Would you like to see each other again romantically?
47:33I would like to go on a second date.
47:36Yeah, me too.
47:37We did it.
47:38We did it.
47:38We did it.
47:39I really was drawn to him immediately.
47:42Anybody that kind of makes me lean in, I'm like, oh.
47:46He's a really, really good guy.
47:48Like a real diamond.
47:54I wouldn't say yeah, I'd go with him again.
47:56No, I would 100%.
47:57I'd love to let it not just be a first date.
48:00I would, yeah.
48:01Yeah, I would as well.
48:15Do you want to come to our wedding?
48:17Thank you very much.
48:19Oh, you're welcome.
48:21Watch this space.
48:22Have a great life.
48:27You too.
48:27Have a great life.
48:30Yeah.
48:31Let's go for it.
48:34Hi.
48:35Tanya's future kiss.
48:36And maybe he's too, but I'm not sure.
48:39Yeah.
48:39There's your roses and your chocolate here for you.
48:41Oh, I forgot about that.
48:42We could go once.
48:44I'll have you flying around the floor.
48:46I promise.
48:47I was enchanted to meet you.
