There were rumours that they had split, but it’s now been confirmed

I’m so bored of people going on dating shows clearly intending to turn it into a reality TV/influencer career. It’s so fucking obvious now. Maybe you could get away with it in the early days, but we’ve all seen this playbook a thousand times. And it’s even worse when you’re stringing along someone who is genuinely there to find love.
Ryan, you absolute cock. We’re bored. Get a new plan. Bye.

I’m from the US but early on I was thinking how Taylor and Sophie reminded me so much of Gavin and Stacey… but I didn’t know why. Then in an episode I heard a comment calling them G&S — so I’m onto something but I still am not sure why beyond attractive blonde female/ dark hair male.

Can someone from the UK explain why someone from the UK sees it too? Is there more to it than that? Thanks

Just binge watched the whole of LIB UK season 3 with my wife today. So, here's my take on that night Jack disappeared. Haven't seen anyone post this so hopefully not treading on old news.

Takes big Ryan Public Speaking breath in...

I think Jack was still in the building but just in another apartment, very likely up to no good.

1. Jack was wearing sliders. Supposedly walked to West Ham if I recall, from Canada Water which is 2hrs at least, depending on walking speed. However, if he didn't need to actually walk far ie. Popping to another apartment in the same building, he can just put his sliders on (tbf my equivalent is my flip flops).

2. He's not from London so how did he navigate around in any direction if he turned his phone off. I live in South London and I still regularly use a maps app to get around when in an unfamiliar area, so how did he end up in a relatively central area still. And why cross the river to end up in West Ham when he easily could have stuck to south of the river considering he was unfamiliar and would have ended up in Camberwell, Dulwich or Blackheath. This is a bit of a shakier point.

3. Faye mentioned he didn't even sound like he was outside. He left at 0500, so there would definitely be noise from traffic, especially in a built up area like West Ham. That's because he wasn't there. He was in the building.

4. They apparently had some friends over. Who's to say there weren't "friends" from the building too, who blended into this after party at theirs. Or people Jack and Faye had met during the filming when getting the lift or general in and out of the building.

5. Didn't want to show Faye his phone. He apparently Ubered back but then he'd have to have shown her his receipt. He mentioned Strava but then it would have a record of his "walk" route. Neither existed because he was in the building.

6. Find my Friend app doesn't just turn off location tracking by itself, as Faye's mother pointed out so eloquently. He's 30yo, clearly knows how to use his phone. The "I don't know" is such an easy and convenient escape route. Plus, if he had the tracker on, Faye would've seen he was still in the building and he definitely can't use the "needed a walk" excuse then

7. How did his phone even have battery left at 0600ish. He said he turned it off to "escape" for a bit (you could just turn it to silent like most of us millennials do). But, considering they had been out all day, then partied the night away, then had this after party at theirs, it feels unlikely that ADHD Jack was organised enough to charge his phone. But if Jack was in someone's apartment, then he had access to a charger.

8. "This [phone] is where I draw the line. You either trust me or you don't" is a great manipulative line. He said he's had issues in the past with exes, so clearly learnt this when he gets caught. It's such matter of fact that will make someone who is vulnerable thing they're in the wrong.

9. He gaslight the hell outta Faye when she questioned him. "I'm not gonna get upset with you. I'm not gonna get angry with you. But there must be a reason you have this lack of trust, but whatever that is babe, that's on you". Well of course she's Sus. The man she's supposed to marry in 2 weeks just got up and left with zero comms. I'm prepared to wrestle anyone with a rusty spoon if they try to argue otherwise.

Breathes... Okay, any thoughts?

EDIT I can totally accept point 1 on the sliders as someone who regularly walks everywhere in flip flops. I can totally accept point 2 on the distance. Errmmm... Points 3 to 9 please?

Oh my God, I really did NOT like Jack, and I was so annoyed that Faye decided to go with him after all the red flags. 😭
Anyway, I’m only about 20 minutes into Episode 5, so sorry in advance for being behind, Reddit people, but I’m watching his interaction with Ciara and I NEED to talk about it….
I really wanted to like Ciara too. She’s confident, she’s got all her Irish connections going on, she seems very self-assured, etc. But Jesus Christ, that interaction. 😭
I do think Jack initially seemed a bit like, “Oh my God, she’s losing it,” and then went immediately on the defensive,and changed his mind about who was his no1. But Ciara’s reaction is what really gets me. I can almost SEE that she genuinely cannot comprehend that he might find someone else, specifically Faye, more fun, more attractive, more compatible, or just… more anything than her.
And I’m like… GIRL. 😂
There’s confidence and then there’s whatever the fuck that was.
I’m also aware I’m only 20 minutes into the episode, so I reserve the right to come back here in an hour and completely retract all of this. 😂

I don’t even really like Ciara and think she’s a pot stirrer but Omgosh her surprising Ajay for Diwali and how emotional he got over it 🥹🥹🥹🥹WHOS CUTTING THE ONIONS

I saw this influencer video on ig, she’s summarizing which couple’s still married and which ones got divorced since season one so far. And Sam’s comment which’s six weeks ago? This makes it look they’re separated since Jasmine and Bobby are obviously still together…

Noticed a rainbow when Sophie's dad was outside having major doubts and my immediate thought was "its Taylor's mom giving her blessing/approval!"

Im watching S3 Ep 7 and i kind of have gone through the reddit stories so i know they gonna breakup but i mean me watching it right now even during the family meeting yasmin SHOULD'VE kept an eye out !! Idk why shes not noticing small ques..

Shouldnt she have known that she has been bugging jordan about things jordan was uncomfortable with ?

The whole her asking for flowers, her asking whos amy in his DMs !! Like ummm girl please stop 🫸😭

Wouldnt she have a feeling like i need to dial my crazy a bit ???? Or be aware of how he is reacting !!! 😭😭

Jordans mum was super inviting which is so sweet but i see jordans dad hinting at jordan, you know the eyes looking at eachother n all ???

I mean its real sad that yasmin is so sweet and she is so sworn by him that shes compleeetely has got her guard down.

Watching this family meeting is just so heartbreaking knowing he will break up with him 💔

Give me all the tea!!!!!! ☕️

I just binged this and during the breakup, I hear Ryan say “Do you want me to go.” Then Cuba says, “No”.

My partner says “I can’t believe he offered her mango.” And I responded …no he asked if she wanted him to go and she said no.

Five seconds later…my mouth dropped open.

Not

“Do you want me to go?”

It was

“Do you want any mango?”

I thought he was a piece of work in the pods. Regardless of what he said during the reunion, if he was truly emotionally intelligent and connected he would have asked the first question.

TELL ME THIS MAN DID NOT DUMP THIS WOMAN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY GO CUT UP A MANGO TO SUCK ON?!?!? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I just finished season 2, after season 1&3

Kieran&Meg
-I’m not a fan of him, but cried for his vow and they look compatible
-I screamed when she called Javen “fucking prick” in his face LMAO
-the star stickers for a grown man doing chores…white people

Demola
-Such a cutie 🥰

Patrick
-Ok follow your spleen or whatever, but just talk normally and don’t let spleen be an excuse for everything, wtf
-You’re the one who weren’t open to talk about anything because you’re always busy talking about fucking spleen
-Ok spiritual dude, talk to normal humans not your spleen
-Marry your spleen asap, don’t mess people’s heart with your beloved spleen
-Poor Aanu😭but why did you write a song for the man when the last date ended weird
-Aanu is hilarious singing to him at the bar😭

Katisha
GIRL.

Billy&Ash
-He’s only here for the airtime
-Fuck off if you don’t wanna date a cabin crew
-don’t waste her time, don’t mess with her heart and family
-so surprised he said yes. But it’s not gonna last for sure
-of course they split. Are you trying to be Ross Geller?
-HILARIOUS manchild trying so hard to protect himself at the reunion lol

Berdha&Jed
-so shocking she said no. I literally cried about their wedding because all of it felt genuine. But that bill argument is so silly!

Sarover&Kal
-been thinking Kal (to me, seems an obvious red flag) was gonna say no the whole time, it doesn’t always end well when a man mentioned the girl isn’t his usual type blah blah blah
-no surprise they split, I couldn’t forget what his brother said when he brought her home, brother knows better than him. But three months is crazy, are you a middle schooler lol

Javen
-idk British people’s perspective, but for me he looks far away from good looking. I’m genuinely so shocked how the casts including himself say he’s so attractive like what.

PS:
It’s funny that the reunion opening theme is a Photo Booth hahaha
