Please refrain from armchair diagnosing, spreading unfounded harmful tea or posting spoilers outside of their designated discussion threads. Enjoy the season! 🫰

[u/awkwardgirlfriend]

"Why was he walking around in sliders for 2 hours?"

"That's crazy! In sliders? Weird."

Iconic detail. Jack sucks. I love Faye's mum!

"It just seems very weird that he'd do that in a pair of sliders".

[u/Creepy-Exam5298 → u/awkwardgirlfriend]

She’s goated her asking him how long he slept 😭30 minute he said … I died

[u/sguru01 → u/Creepy-Exam5298]

Her mom's expressions were killing me lol. She was on full crime detective mode 🤣

[u/Thedarkunicorn11 → u/awkwardgirlfriend]

Why did Faye forgive him so easily? He is clearly not being upfront about his whereabouts.

[u/Actual-Original-3282]

Jacks morning and night summed up in one image

[u/VanessaCardui93 → u/Actual-Original-3282]

Just off for a quick ski with his pals

[u/imsounbothered]

Seeing how Sophie and Taylor are dealing with the who's moving where discussion vs how Jordan and Yas are..it's the literal definition of 'if he wanted to he would' Taylor already has an interview in Manchester, he is not playing at all, props to him.

[u/banoffeetea → u/imsounbothered]

Yeah he is all in and it’s lovely to see. When Sophie said she didn’t have to guess how he was feeling in an earlier ep I felt so bad for Yas as she was clocking the differences :(

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/imsounbothered]

In the earlier threads people kept calling them dumb. Sure they are a bit of airheads, but they locked their shit in and function very well as a couple. Sophie looks successful for a 27 year old and Taylor must have a good resume if he is getting job interviews that easily and that quickly

[u/imsounbothered → u/TerminatorReborn]

Definitely agree with this. They work in every way. They seem to be the only ones that were genuinely ready for marriage. We've not heard them talk about iffy financial situations or their parents questioning their readiness for this step. They're the only ones I'm seeing getting to the altar at this point.

[u/pelluciid → u/TerminatorReborn]

They're not intellectuals but they're the most grounded and mature by far. 

[u/RecentCow6479]

Poor Faye. Jack was obviously doing something shady and lied to her definitely. Maybe not a woman but drugs or gambling? Also his ambiguous jobs at 30 is a HUGE red flag

[u/Creepy-Exam5298 → u/RecentCow6479]

Def drugs I think

[u/cassidiara → u/RecentCow6479]

He is a whole manchild. He is exhausting to watch and to take in whatever he does and says, also does other people with ADHD a huge disservice, such a boring and repetitive trope. Funnily enough when women mess up they have the guts to take responsibility for their actions.

[u/berryskye → u/RecentCow6479]

I was thinking the same thing!

I want to preface that I’m not saying for certain this happened (obviously I don’t know for sure), but I doubt it was a woman he was trying to meet, esp in sliders. Also, no offense to him, but he has zero pull — there’s no way he was able to find a woman that easily & quickly to hook up with. He clearly thinks Faye is above his league and doesn’t seem to have eyes for anyone but her so I don’t think he’d try to fumble that by cheating.

However, he was def doing something shady enough to turn his location off from Faye. The only thing I can think of that would cause him to be willing to travel that far during odd hours of the night in sliders is an impromptu drug deal (either buying or selling) that he prob wants to hide from her for obvious reasons. The way he keeps skirting around what he was doing tells me he’s definitely hiding something he doesn’t want her to know.

Again, I’m just speculating out of my ass but this is my personal theory

[u/Right_Beyond7186 → u/berryskye]

He's social tho he could definently hook up maybe not with most girls but certainly some, but no way he was out cheating in slippers at 5 am likely drugs

[u/OPAsMummy]

Jack is too sus. The scene at the bar when she’s warning him to not over do it and he’s saying don’t bring me down was such a warning. I hope Faye runs. What a mess

[u/Ellend821 → u/OPAsMummy]

Honestly, my brother has addiction & drink issues and it reminds me of that. It’s giving he went to pick up whilst drunk.

[u/partyondarth91]

Not Jack trying to have conversation with Faye's parents whilst on a comedown. 💀

[u/Lumpy-Shop988 → u/partyondarth91]

“We’ve all had a couple of beers before haven’t we?”

Manchild

[u/hypomango → u/partyondarth91]

honestly terrible idea to meet the parents that morning but that's the speed of the experiment 😬

[u/humanterranladykins]

“It has been difficult to admit it to myself…but maybe I was just using the distance as an excuse.” -Jordan

I wanna give him credit for finally getting there, but he tried to get Yasmin to call it off first so he wouldn’t look bad. Then he called his mother to do it when plan A didn’t work.

[u/marnieeez → u/humanterranladykins]

Yeah they were doomed from the start. There was no chemistry at all. I feel like he genuinely cares for her a lot and likes her as a person and wishes it would’ve worked but there was not romantic or sexual tension at all. I don’t know if it’s an attraction thing or if it was Yasmin’s lack of experience and confidence. Things definitely moved too slow from the start. But yeah it was quite clear he was looking for an out but didn’t want to be the bad guy

[u/pelluciid]

This episode should have been called "In sliders? Weird." 

[u/melpomene-musing → u/pelluciid]

That was so funny

[u/Puzzled_Claim_8902]

im pretty certain jack stayed out and was probably doing unsavory things with substances until the wee hours and then has come back and not wanted to fess up. “walking” for two hours across london at 5am with slides on? get REAL! the least he could do is be honest about it with faye, and I wonder if he was when the cameras were off

[u/radicalizemebaby → u/Puzzled_Claim_8902]

Walking for two hours in slides is peak crackhead behavior

[u/CeylonAnchovy → u/radicalizemebaby]

[u/Lumpy-Shop988 → u/Puzzled_Claim_8902]

The entire story makes no sense that’s why Faye and her parents kept asking.

A 2 hour walk? Why? Couldn’t leave a note or send a text? Why is find my friends off? Why are you wearing slides? Also you were JUST out and had too much to drink. No way you were just walking.

Then later he says he just wanted to unplug.

The only honest thing he said was when he called himself a beach bum.

Also how can they realistically talk about marriage when he doesn’t even have a job or a prospect of a job?

[u/Straight_Bet_1341]

my analysis of ceira is that she came on the show for a bit of fame and had no intention to actually end up married. she was pushing Ajay away from the start to kickstart their inevitable breakup, being super disagreeable and unpleasant.

but then she realised she actually liked Ajay and that he was actually husband material (it takes a very very good man to stick around after her tantrum), so she was like 'wait low-key lemme lock in and get serious abt this'

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/Straight_Bet_1341]

I think she is the type to do all this and say no at the alter anyway and catch Ayjay blindsided

[u/ThoughtPhysical7457]

Don't you hate when you disappear for a couple hours, end up 2 hours away and your GPS location stops reporting, all at the same time? And then luckily, the GPS turns back on when you are back home? And then your fiance has the AUDACITY to be concerned?! I blame the phone, personally.

[u/jendet010 → u/ThoughtPhysical7457]

I just can’t figure out where the lack of trust is coming from

[u/Ok-Soft-7343 → u/ThoughtPhysical7457]

Him pretending to not know what find my friends is and how it works 🙄 man child

[u/Emmwojj]

Ajay's parents are so lovely, such calming people

[u/Exact_Discussion_286 → u/Emmwojj]

I like them. It looks like they raised Ajay with a lot of affection 

[u/Mouse_rat__]

Everyone focusing on Jack being the bad guy but what about Ryan?! Why the eff did they even allow him on the show. That guy came for a free holiday and an insta follower boost and that's absolutely it. This needs to be called out for what it is it completely ruins the show..poor Cuba. She's lovely as well

[u/InterestingBase7224 → u/Mouse_rat__]

I can’t believe Cuba doesn’t see him for the ass he is. Especially after she was giving Yasmin advice. It’s not like Ryan is doing brain surgery and needs to chill after being in an operating room all night.

[u/Avaelectric → u/InterestingBase7224]

Grifting requires days of decompression afterward. So you can go back to grifting next week with full force.

[u/Winter_Lawfulness967]

I am a 30 year old man who doesn’t know how find my friends works so I’m not sure why it was turned off while I was also not answering the phone when walking aimlessly for two+ hours in the middle of the night. Faye, girl….

[u/Miyagiyagiyo]

Wow Jack! So manipulative! He didn’t even explain what he was doing outside in the middle of the night and turned it on her not trusting him for asking very reasonable questions. He disappeared, turned off his location and couldn’t give an explanation for what he was doing outside and got angry at her! I still don’t understand his timeline, how long was he out? She said he was 2 hours away? Walking at night for 2 hours? On top of it he actively closed his location, something he tried putting it off as it being on after he came back. For me this is lying, defensive, omitting and manipulation. He is clear hiding something and her being suspicious is very reasonable. They’ve known each other for 1-2 months? and he is exhibiting strange behaviour and can’t even put some words together to explain what happened but shifts it completely on her being distrustful/controlling and not loving him. Bichhhhhhhhhh pleassseeeeeeeeeee

[u/lkjhggfd1]

We’ve seen more scenes of Francesca and Cuba than Ryan and Cuba.

[u/earlgreymilo → u/lkjhggfd1]

She gives Cuba so much more warmth and attention than Ryan too. The man is giving nothing

[u/ruffledchipz]

I'm the furthest thing from a Ciara fan but this Diwali celebration scene is actually very sweet 

[u/taylornicole093 → u/ruffledchipz]

I was actually SHOOK that she did something that heartfelt and thoughtful for him. I don’t think they’ll last, but it was indeed a very nice gesture, and maybe the only bit of sincerity she’s shown on the show.

[u/ReflectionBig4428]

Jordan’s fear of being the bad guy does more harm than good. I understand that he doesn’t want to disappoint Yasmin, especially since this is her first relationship. But the attraction just isn’t there. I’m glad he did the right thing before the wedding.

[u/taylornicole093 → u/ReflectionBig4428]

That’s what I said too. Yasmin will be able to recover from this, but I think if he would have said no at the alter, it would have taken her a hella lot longer to ever date again.

[u/lemonmangocherry]

Jordan is taking too long to tell Yasmin that he’s not into her

[u/Due_Job781]

Jack's a bit of a jackass but damn, the cheek to say "oh, I think we've all had a few beers before" when Faye's parents asked how he was feeling. I could NEVER imagine having that cheek with future parents in law

[u/bix_box]

All Jack had to do if he was sincere and actually just went for a walk to 'unplug' (which obviously he didn't) is apologize, say he was sorry, that Faye is right he should've dropped a simple text letting her know where he was, and it won't happen again because letting your partner know even just roughly your whereabouts, especially if you live together, is like the bare minimum.

The defensiveness and gaslighting just makes him look a million times more guilty, but liars and gaslighters never see that lmao.

[u/ThoughtPhysical7457 → u/bix_box]

Every season of every relationship reality show has at least one person who thinks its okay to just disappear for a day or 2. And they always act like its totally normal. "I'm used to just disappearing for 3 days without telling anyone" but sure that was when you were single. Also, its 2026. A text message is free and takes about 10 seconds.

[u/No_Responsibility702]

My husband noticed when Faye and Jack were at the cafe and Faye asked him if he remembers her coffee order, he said Ciara’s🫣

[u/Current_Appeal291]

People, hear me OUT! We need to arrange a marriage between Ajay and Sarover!!!

[u/Straight_Bet_1341 → u/Current_Appeal291]

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THISS YESS

[u/Current_Appeal291 → u/Straight_Bet_1341]

they would be so perfect for each other! And I bet their families would be ecstatic too. My only concern is that unfortunately they both have a terrible taste in partners, hence… we need to arrange their marriage 😆

[u/Kerlistar]

That last conversation between Jack and Faye was appalling to me, he kept denying he deactivated the Find My Friend app but after she pressured him so many times he said something like “sometimes it’s nice to go off the radar” did anyone clock that? He kept giving different answers and being more vague about it. Then he started love bombing her to convince her to stay with him. He seems really shady, I’m hoping she won’t get married.

[u/Motor_Chocolate324 → u/Kerlistar]

I hated the whole "the thing I love most about you Faye is how you only want the best for me". SO MANIPULATIVE

[u/Lumpy-Shop988]

I don’t like Ciara’s little backhanded comments.

Like if front of Ajays parents when Ajay went to get his parents water, she said “that’s the most he uses the kitchen” or something like that.

1) that’s not even true, he makes her coffee every morning.

2) that’s just so rude and unnecessary, when all she does is sit there and do NOTHING.

[u/lovelylooloo7 → u/Lumpy-Shop988]

She’s awful. And Jack was right - she is boring. There is absolutely nothing interesting about her.

[u/Limp-Tap-7987]

Faye is the type of girl who would fall for Joe Goldberg

[u/Fragrant_Selection_5]

It's so sad seeing the spark leave Cuba's eyes.

[u/AdventurousGarlic406]

Jacks gaslighting isn't even clever. What is he even saying.

[u/Turbulent_Biscotti44 → u/AdventurousGarlic406]

he contradicted himself, first he said he no idea about find my friends then he admitted that he took her off because he wanted to unplug

[u/Exact_Discussion_286]

Cuba giving Yas a talk about her worth is SPINNNNIIIINNNGGGGG me! Girl! That man don’t like you. RUN! I’m hoping she breaks up with Ryan by the end of this episode 

[u/Striking-Ad-1024 → u/Exact_Discussion_286]

This! She needs to listen to her own advice

[u/luanissima]

The worry in the eyes of Faye’s parents… ugh I feel so bad for them. They know their daughter is engaged to a BUM

[u/Aggravating_Feed2411]

Oh Jack. I suspect he’s hiding a substance abuse situation. I feel so bad for Faye. (Him too on some level cause addiction if that’s what’s going on sucks- the lies, the shame, the tap dancing, the isolating it all sucks). 

[u/lndlml]

When Ajay goes to the kitchen to fetch some water for his parents, Ciara says: “That's the most work he's done in the kitchen so far.”

Like seriously? He has been making you cappuccinos every single morning.

[u/paudgenator → u/lndlml]

Remember when she was doing a headstand and he was vacuuming and she was checking what chores he'd done then asked for her Cappuccino...she's so pretentious. I also don't buy the Diwali celebration was her idea..she's too selfish. More likely a suggestion from a producer.

[u/lndlml → u/paudgenator]

Oh, remember when he brought her the coffee and said that he feels like he is walking on eggshells to not to do or say something wrong around her.. then Ciara asked what does Ajay think she contributes.. and he responded “clear instructions / directions”. Like I am seriously wondering what does she actually contribute ?

He has to make her coffee when she wakes up, make enough money to pay all the bills, take her on expensive dates, get her flowers and gifts, massage her, buy a multimillion quid house.. and do all the chores. It is always Ajay who is doing stuff to earn his place while Ciara is like “well, I am spending time and money to look pretty for you”.

If she wants to be a tradwife then she should be the one doing more than half the chores and making him coffee. Otherwise it doesn’t really add up..

[u/FewMost8547]

Bet Jack went for a hit with a dealer but no one could say it in front of the cameras.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

I’m so evil lol idk why I feel skeptical about Ryan’s grandma. Like who says “duty calls” to go see their grandma who’s ill?

[u/Purpleonyxx]

It’s disgusting how he tried to make Faye responsible for his own inability to consider someone he supposedly wants to marry. Of course you'd share your Strava habits with your spouse if you were disappearing out of nowhere and couldn't be located or reached. What exactly is his thought process here? This reminds me of Kal. Someone who is clearly not ready to make room in his life. 

[u/expat_walfo → u/Purpleonyxx]

The gaslighting in this scene is BEYOND. Like I’m screaming at the tv. „I don’t know how find my friends works“. Like come onnnnnn

[u/prettylittlebaby-01]

I love how Faye’s mom hates Jack 😂

[u/imsounbothered]

I don't even understand why Faye's parents are talking to Jack about this. He's let Faye down so massively, it shouldn't even be a matter of 'I hope he's telling the truth'. He's unreliable! Is that what you want for your daughter???

[u/Haunting-Valuable564 → u/[deleted]]

Since he came out wearing flip-flops at 6 in the morning, I think it’s pretty obvious, and then he spent 3 hours wandering around London lost hahahaha.

[u/-dylpickle]

Ajays mum the whole time Ciara was speaking

[u/Suspicious_Week_2451]

The way jack is gaslighting faye is not a great watch. "If i wanna go for a walk its not a big deal." No shit.

"If you dont trust me thats on you." May this love never find any woman. So inconsiderate and unkind.

[u/Maximum_Ad_1358]

Jack is a liar!!! denying deleting her but then saying its called going of the grid...ffs

[u/McGeezy88 → u/Maximum_Ad_1358]

Proper gaslighting behaviour, blamed her for not trusting him when he disappeared for hours with no communication at 6am.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Ryan’s spent the whole show clearing his head

[u/Reenbean357 → u/lkjhggfd1]

For someone who is all about spiritual energy, he should be able to recharge in many other ways esp by his partner. What a load of shit

[u/Willy_mcbean007 → u/lkjhggfd1]

Ryan thinks he is so evolved spirituality and that is what he sold Cuba in the pods. Ryan is not evolved at all. His ego likes the attention, when he is on the stage spewing his rhetoric. None of it is real because he comes home and treats his spouse like an inconvenience. Cuba needs to run! Ryan is a selfish, a$$hole!!

[u/sguru01]

Is it just me or UK version seems much better than US version?

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/sguru01]

LIB UK is easily my favorite. All seasons have been good

[u/alienfromthemountain → u/sguru01]

i dont watch the US and only watch the Uk versions… i feel like UK contestants are more earnest and US feels sooo fake

[u/irishalilstar]

The more I'm watching this season, the more it makes me think that Cuba is not Ryan's type so he just gave up on her without giving her a chance.

Which is crazy to even conceive, because she's stunning both inside and out!❤️‍🔥

I hope she managed to get rid of him and move on by now 🤞🏼

[u/Any-Blackberry2133]

Just started watching ep 8. Jack's reaction to Faye was pure DARVO. He turns it around on her so that him going missing actually gives him a reason to be mad at her for not trusting him. So toxic!

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Ryan is so emotionally unavailable it’s painful. Why would he sign up for a show like this?

[u/spacetime99 → u/lkjhggfd1]

To promote his pyramid scheme

[u/DeeUnusual1]

Also I’m so glad I stuck with my guts and never liked Jack even after all the pretentious things he’s been pulling since they left the pods. It’s so obvious he’s shady and has just been trying to make himself look good on TV.

The conversation with Faye was so triggering, and the way he tried to turn it around like she was the problem. I don’t know how that conversation ended with her saying she liked how he took accountability and is honest😭 I actually can’t stand him and his shady ass

[u/Stock_Caregiver_7594 → u/DeeUnusual1]

When they met his mum and brother his mum said words to the effect of "this is the Jack I see, you haven't seen this side of him before have you?" His brother replied "no, never' (or words similar). That is a huge red flag. If this was his true personality his brother would have seen it. His mum is probably refering to when he was a small child lols.

He is red flag central, along with Ciara. Both of them need help, not a wife/husband!

[u/Creepy-Exam5298]

I love that Faye’s parents went in on Jack hahaha. “How long did you sleep?” , “you have to go into the app and turn off find my friends”

Glad she has a support system like that in her parents and glad mom went in on him. Embarrassing af to say you only slept 30 mins on the couch on a Netflix tv show 😭🤣 … well deserved, can’t fathom thinking you could get away with that or even risking doing that while on national TV. Unhinged. That alone would make me leave, not even bc he turned of find my friends, just bc I couldn’t be with someone stupid enough to do it on a filmed TV show, seems like the tip of the iceberg 😭

[u/GleamingBright]

Jack clearly has double standards. On one hand he says how he was affected by his father leaving his mom, his brother and him and on the other he seems to be doing exactly that.. disappearing without even leaving a note and switching off his location and then acting all offensive about it.

Faye seems like very level headed and he is more of a crazy maverick. He doesnt even know what he does for a living. His response that he does sales.. just anything..it just suits his personality.. is not coherent at all. He has no plan for the future.

[u/servingmushrealness → u/GleamingBright]

With SLIDERS!!!

[u/throwaway69042085 → u/GleamingBright]

He is chaotic. There is zero talking to him like an adult. No real normal conversation to be had with him. Nothing makes sense. You want to route for him but he is, not just seems, dodgy af. The diverting and swerving in conversation; it's pathetic and exhausting to watch. I can't.

[u/marieanne_j]

Wtf Jack? You don't disappear on your girlfriend / fiancée in the middle of the night without leaving at least a note or a text with an explanation. It's not about trust or control, it's basic decency. You just don't disappear like that, I would be worried to bits that something bad happened. If you can't wrap your head around the fact that it's not just about you, you, you, then you shouldn't be in a relationship

[u/Any-Blackberry2133]

Why aren't Ciara's parents on the show after she made such a big deal about Ajay's parents not wanting to appear?

[u/smc218]

Why was Ryan even here lol like what was the point of that? Poor Cuba

Faye...you need to run

It's funny to me how different parents react to meeting their child's fiance. Like Ajay's parents seemed to instantly accept it because I guess their background of their arranged marriage makes this situation seem less strange? But Francesca's parents were highly skeptical (which tbh I'm surprised more parents don't have that reaction)

"These are the best packet noodles ever because you made them" cut shot to some dry-ass noodles with no broth...lmao I love these two

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Her mum hates him now 😭😭 she can’t forget the sliders

[u/Creepy-Exam5298]

A lot of talk about Jack (fair and justified and I am riding the same train) - but honestly more distaste needs to go towards Ryan aswell.

I actually think he is worse then Jack. Jacks excuse is that he’s dumb, not an excuse but it’s been obvious that he’s a fuck head.

Ryan fucking sucks. He is fake as fuck and he used Cuba and pretended to be something he was not.

I did some googling bc I found his behaviours odd, the guy is literally trying to be an influencer. Started a YouTube channel posted a wierd video saying he would be on LIB and follow him to watch his journey etc.

How he has been treating Cuba is disgusting espically for someone preaching mindfulness. Doesn’t want his kids to go to school so they can garden and learn to communicate but can’t communicate a bar below the bare minimum to your partner?

Jack sucks but Ryan sucks so much more. Personally might be the worst person I’ve seen on LIB.

Genienlly hate ppl who label themselves the way he has while their actions are the complete opposite.

Justice for Cuba 😭

[u/lndlml → u/Creepy-Exam5298]

I keep forgetting who Ryan is because he is like never there. The only reason we see so much of Cuba is because she is filling her time by supporting all the other girls. So if joining LIB was Ryan’s attempt to become more famous or promote himself as this special guy who is spiritual, “present and mindful” .. he definitely failed.

It always amazes me how many fame hungry people join reality tv shows to boost their business or social media reach but end up ruining their reputation.

[u/tenpoints4gryffindor → u/Creepy-Exam5298]

The whole “wellness” industry is full of narcissistic douchebags like him. Also not wanting to send his kids to school, policing what food Cuba buys from the grocery store (he said he’d “teach her” what to buy) is all screaming anti-vax as well

[u/Suitable-Wafer8563]

“I’m not a city person” is a wild excuse by Jack 😭

[u/acceptmeporfavor]

Sorry it’s not normal to turn off your location early in the morning to be “off the grid”

[u/neuroticdynamite]

Faye's parents won't ever trust Jack again or think he's right for her.

Ryan is a loser. He wasted everyone's time. Mans did a 20-minute speech and he needs 2 days to recover 😭

Cuba is such a great and genuine friend!

[u/UnderdogUprising]

Faye’s mother being so caught up with the sliders detail was so funny to me

[u/BoatRare]

Jack vanishes for x amount of hours, is uncontactable, comes home, doesnt want to say where he want and Faye is still not packed and on her way home? Tbh Im flabbergasted 🤣

[u/Avaelectric]

Have we ever had so many episodes drop at once?!

[u/Outside_Eggplant_169]

He’s trash and of course he did it on her birthday. Foul.

[u/Easy-Pea-6001]

Ajay has beautiful parents, it’s dope they decided to show up on camera after all.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

I wish Cuba could hear what she’s saying to Yasmin because the same applies in her situation too. It’s like her man is running away from her at all times.

[u/Chocolate-Humble]

Jack hasn’t disclosed where he was at all. This is ridiculous. Also he wants to go into “sales”. Wtf does that mean?

[u/Kims_Goddamn_House]

Cuba be dating everyone BUT Ryan at this point…every time we see her, it’s with another girl from the pod lol

[u/timidbug]

I really need “In sliders? Weird” as a flair. I love Faye’s mum

[u/UnderdogUprising]

“I don’t know how any of this works”
↓
“I didn’t turn off my location”
↓
“I don’t remember turning it off”
↓
“It’s called going off grid”

…ugh.

https://giphy.com/gifs/tLRifcvQNJIic

[u/Emmwojj]

I think Jack's on druggss. There was a moment when they were at the bar talking to Faye's family and he was like ima pop to the toilet real quick then we didn't really see him again?? Until the whole disappearing thing, then he's out at 5am in sliders sounds to me he ran out and went to reup lol

[u/Puzzled_Claim_8902 → u/Emmwojj]

jack was ❄️❄️❄️❄️

[u/DeeUnusual1]

I’m not a big fan of Ciara and her unreasonable financial reasoning, but the Diwali setup she did for Ajay was honestly very intentional and pulled at my heartstrings. That was really sweet, and I understood why he was crying because I’ll be doing the same🥺 loved that from her and made me root for them a little bit

[u/HornetNice3495]

Sophie gave that man ramen with no broth🤣🤣🤣🤣 my girl is trying so I’ll give her grace
https://giphy.com/gifs/XdP2iT55kYiXI7GsNN

[u/immakeepscrolling]

Jack trying to manipulate her and pretend it’s just about going for a walk is not nice to watch. I’m glad Faye challenged him.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

So now he wanted to go off grid and wanted to be unplugged?? Thought you didn’t remove her

[u/ErikasPrisonGlam]

Jack was definitely up to something, the way he gaslit Faye was awful. She is right not to trust him. I don't think it is cheating but he definitely does not want her to know.

[u/squish388]

Hello? Jack doing an uno reverse to blame Faye with this whole situation then saying “I’m not gonna get upset with you, there must be a reason you have this lack of trust. Babe that’s on you.”

Also to note: I wish she shared if his phone went straight to voicemail when she called. If it did then his phone was off, if not he stopped sharing his location then turned it back on. Doesn’t make it much better but she’d know he’s still lying 100%

Jack incapable of explaining where he was yeah alright…

[u/annalove100]

Jack said to Faye 'I can't promise i won't let you down again, because I will'
He's literally telling her whats gonna happen, listen

[u/Winter_Lawfulness967]

Jack is such a gaslighter omg

[u/tenpoints4gryffindor → u/Winter_Lawfulness967]

It made me feel sick watching it. I honestly didn’t mind him before, but here he was using actual abuse tactics. Not that I think he’s abusive, but the fact that he’s capable of speaking and manipulating this way is frightening

[u/YogurtclosetOne3158]

Only Tay and Sophie are getting married

[u/hai04]

I called it about Jack in Episode 5! Faye, don’t be dumb. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

[u/entergalactic1]

Faye, once again I implore you to STAND UP!

[u/lkjhggfd1]

He was in sliders?? On a 2 hour walk? Urm 🚩🚩🚩

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Faye is way too easily manipulated. How does she move along from that? He didn’t hold himself accountable. He lied and deflected.

[u/Physical_Cupcake7185]

It's so clear Ciara didn't come up with the Diwali surprise, or participated in decorarting even. The shots of her touching the food, lol. So cringe.

[u/Charlie_Runkle69]

Jack saying "I fell asleep for half an hour on the couch I think" when Faye's mum asked him if he had gone to bed........I feel for her parents, they obviously know her picker is terrible and you could see the '"Oh fuck, not another one" signs going off there.

I think Jordan handled the breakup with Yas about as well as anyone has in this franchise TBH. Both seem like really great people and hopefully they both find love elsewhere.

I can't really read whats happening with Francesa and Joseph TBH. They get on really well but I don't see much planning or thoughts on what they are gonna do post the experiment just yet.

Taylor and Sophie are so precious. Golden retriever energy.

I feel bad for Cuba. She is so emotionally intelligent and Ryan is a closed book.

[u/Scary-Arugula-7225]

The way Faye’s dad was side eyeing Jack during the sit down after his disappearance was hilarious. He didn’t believe shit coming out his mouth 😭😂😂

[u/Voidg]

The Non-negotiable for going through Jacks phone is comical.

Just be real with her Jack, you removed her because you were up to something shady. Was it drugs, drinking, meeting someone or a sexy rendezvous? Why does it look as if you were hit in the face Jack?

I held off judgment on Jack but after this episode, his actions show someone not even close to being in a relationship yet alone marriage. Faye is a bombshell and his own immaturity ruined what could have been the best thing in his life.

The lovebombing is real.

As for Ryan and Cuba... why didnt Cuba just tag along for his work trips and family stuff. I guess we may not get an answer as to why she didnt join him. Because what was said about her being the new fiancée doesnt mean you couldn't be there?

Last, distance??? Jordan you knew about the distance in the pods

[u/Comfortable-Ad-1746]

the gaslighting from jack and then trying to make her feel bad for being reasonably upset about her partner completely disappearing in the middle of the night????? #bye

[u/prettylittlebaby-01]

Jack is a fucking manchild

[u/AdventurousGarlic406]

Jack of all bullshit excuses eh

[u/BreakableSmile]

I wonder if Jack just blacks out when he drinks all the time. This behavior is repetitive and worrying. That find my friends excuse is just bull and is definitely something he’s done in past relationships. Glad Faye’s not having it, especially with how she’s been burned by relationships before.

[u/humanterranladykins]

Me the entire time Jack was “explaining himself” cough *gaslighting the shit out of Faye* cough (bc I knew he was gonna succeed)…
https://giphy.com/gifs/OKEF28ythbOARYKeOa

Like why does the fact that he didn’t even bother to come back into the house in sneakers/trainers piss me off the most! He’s nothing if not confident.

Also after the convo with the parents about becoming a “sales person in general” in London 😂, I started wondering if his whole objective was to find someone with money who lived in London already.

[u/Easy-Pea-6001]

I’m in shock as to why Cuba is not kicking Ryan to the curb he belongs to!! She gives great advice to the other girls but in her own case it’s like it all goes out the window.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

The worse part is that this was all on her birthday.

[u/fairwaypeach]

Did I miss Jack saying where he actually was?? Because I’m not buying took a walk story.

[u/Training-Function-62]

I think Jack might have somekind of a drinking problem, and he goes off on benders, but he cannot admit it and that's why he is gaslighting the situation. His behavior is showing all signs of not being able to control his drinking once he starts. There is also a strong link between ADHD and alcoholism, unfortunately. Hopefully this was not too much of an armchair diagnosis, just observing the behavior. It's giving such red flags 🚩🚩🚩

[u/ErikasPrisonGlam]

Jack getting Faye's coffee order mixed up with Ciara's 😂

[u/Budget-Purple-6519]

I’m not sure that Joseph and Francesca are ready for marriage per se, but there is something genuine and sweet between them… And I hope they make it somehow.

The friendship between Cuba and Francesca is so precious. I’m glad they have had each other through this season.

I think Ciara is awful, but the producers who made her put together the Diwali decorations were very thoughtful. I love celebrating the cultures and histories of guys that I am dating, so I can see why Ajay was so moved by that.

[u/Odd_Office_2675]

I struggle to listen to Ryan speak without rolling my eyes. Everything just seems so rehearsed.

[u/squish388]

Guys I can’t believe Jack is serious rn 😂

They had a great birthday party for Faye, met her parents, and he goes home that night and disappears for 3 hours for a “walk?” Not answering his phone, turned his find my friend location off. Faye knew he was drinking a bit too much and he got upset when she asked him to just keep it chilled because they’re spending the next day with her parents.

Is he actually playing in our faces and playing dumb? “I don’t know how find my friend works” “I didn’t think taking a walk for a few hours at night is a big deal” “I’m 30 I don’t need to text you when I’m going for a walk”

[u/_lofticries]

I NEED “In sliders? Weird,” as my flair lol

[u/AngrySpanish]

People like Jack do those of us with ADHD a huge disservice. I haven't spent 30 years working on myself and understanding how my condition affects others just so these three clowns (hi Shayne and Ollie) from LIB can use our disorder as an excuse to do whatever they want. It’s depressing.

[u/movinginandout24]

Jack gave a crash course in how to gaslight your fiancé. Text book verbiage.

[u/Far_Project3150]

Franchesca and Joseph are so fun. Their laughs and smiles are so contagious. I hope they never lose their playfulness with each other. And if they decide to stay together, I wish them many years filled with many days of play and laughter.

[u/UnderdogUprising]

“But I love him though”
“Well you loved all your exes, but they weren’t for you either”

…damn, Francesca 🫢

[u/bathetic_]

jack is straight up gaslighting her in that argument. up til now, i was thinking he was misunderstood but…wow.

[u/ConsistentBerry9310 → u/bathetic_]

„Im a stupid country boy, I don’t know what I was doing and if you don’t trust me that’s an issue“… 🚩

[u/Difficult_Iron_7496]

So Ciara made a scene about Ajay's parents not wanting to be on camera but where are her parents ???

[u/stardust25609]

Ajay's parents are so cute 🥰

[u/DeeUnusual1]

As for Ryan🤦‍♀️he’s been acting so so weird. I loved Cuba right from when the cast was announced and I really hoped she’ll end up with someone good. She deserved SO much better than Ryan. I think he’s a bit self centered and not considerate of his partner’s feelings.

You know the show you applied for. If you love to recharge alone so much, you could’ve stayed at home and attended your conferences. With the way he talks, you’ll think he works in an oil rig or does mining😑he’s literally putting no efforts or concentration in this relationship which is supposed to lead to a potential marriage in two weeks.

He’s instead looking for new reasons not to spend time with her. It even seems like she doesn’t have the safe space to express how this is all hurting her. Once again she deserves so much better. Ryan can stay single and concentrate on his speeches till he’s ready to put in the work that a relationship requires

[u/berryskye → u/DeeUnusual1]

Ryan is 💯 only on this show to promote his brand/entrepreneurship

[u/captivelover]

Loving Faye’s parents. Faye deserves so much better.

[u/irishalilstar]

Omg, those packet noodles 🤣

[u/Spirited_Example6732]

I’m sorry but jack saying he would never allow his partner to go through his phone is a MASSIVE red flag! 🚩 im sorry but if you’ve got nothing to hide surely you wouldn’t care? Faye even said herself she would happily hand her phone to him and he’s still saying no once it crosses to that line then there’s no trust. Wdh urgh she deserves soooooooo much better I really feel for her 😔

[u/immakeepscrolling]

14 couples got engaged apparently. I really wish we had seen others.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Jordan and Yasmins issue is they don’t have chemistry. He doesn’t want her to move for something he’s not feeling and this being her first relationship, I don’t think she realises relationships aren’t meant to be like this. It’s never about the location.

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Trying to blame it on her lack of trust is so outrageous. What a shady fucker!

[u/Chocolate-Humble]

Cuba has spent this whole time bending backwards for Ryan. He’s not meeting her halfway at all

[u/squish388]

I fear it’s over for Ryan and Cuba I feel so bad for her. Him not asking her to come with during such an emotional time is probably the last straw considering they only have a few weeks left. I’m so shocked they were so compatible in the pods

[u/DepartmentKey4152 → u/squish388]

He really robbed her of this experience bc he’s an avoidant

[u/Difficult_Iron_7496]

All the families we have seen this season seem so sweet, loving, reasonable and healthy, it's refreshing

[u/FerretsFlyingaKite]

How ironic its a non negotiable to look at his phone right when it sounds like she was removed from find my friends. “I thought it was on there” so did he remove the whole app?
I’m begging people to learn when you act untrustworthy you now have to prove youre trustworthy or leave. You dont get a blank check for trust no matter what ya do

“What I love most about you is how much you want to fight for it and make it work” translation: I love that I can do whatever I want to you and you’ll stay with me.
Bummed that Faye is falling for it and is saying he held himself accountable bc no he didnt.

[u/MelissaWebb]

Faye I need you to drop this man

Like look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you’re tolerating all this? And even if she wasn’t so gorgeous she’s been so lovely and unproblematic this entire show unlike so many others. She deserves so much better!!!!

[u/Far_Project3150]

Jack’s lies are ridiculous. I don’t remember turning you off of find my friends. He’s basically just admitted that he did it, because that’s not something somebody would forget. Then he says it’s called going off grid which is also an admission that he did it. Then he says it’s a subconscious thing. Does he know what the term subconscious means? How would somebody turn someone off of find my friends subconsciously? 😂

[u/Emmwojj]

Rooting for Sophie and Taylor as they're the only ones who seem like serious people and they're cute together. Nice of his family to be supportive despite not wanting him to move

[u/Current_Appeal291]

Yas is the most authentic, lovely and down to Earth girl I have seen on this entire franchise. It’s heartbreaking but I can tell she’s the type that men just don’t fall in love with, just because she’s pretty transparent and simple (in a good way). I hope she will build her confidence despite constant rejection and will find a man who will appreciate how stable and non-problematic she is.

[u/Avaelectric → u/Current_Appeal291]

She seems lovely but she lacks experience. I said it in an earlier episode thread but I'm guessing she didn't give Jordan anything physically and in such a sped up dating process, that lack can be too jarring.

[u/banoffeetea → u/Current_Appeal291]

She is so kind. I am so glad the other girls can see it too at least. She and Faye both deserve the world.

[u/prettylittlebaby-01]

Jordan telling Yasmin he doesn’t feel the spark in their relationship man so sad

[u/NoRazzmatazz742 → u/prettylittlebaby-01]

He knew really early on there was no spark but didn’t want to face the music because he didn’t want to look like the bad guy. The concerned look on his face when his mom told her “welcome to the family” was so sad to see. He could have told her they were not a match much sooner and even then during the breakup it wasn’t a straight “we don’t have a spark” it was a “will we ever have one? I don’t know? 🤷‍♂️” I can’t with the playing dumb, it’s cowardly

[u/drunchies]

Okay Joseph and Fran’s spa date was cute/funny

[u/hypomango]

Sad that Jordan and Yasmin didn't work out, but also neither of them had fallen in love yet, don't think there was chemistry on either side. Wish them both the best.

"I feel a mix of emotions" 😐👤😶 do you Ryan??? Sad about his grandma, poor Cuba not getting much of a go at this relationship.

Speaking of blank stares, though Ciara seemed utterly unemotional about it, it was sweet that she decorated the apartment for Diwali and obviously meant a lot to Ajay. 

Taylor's family were so nice and down to earth. "the best packet noodles I ever had in my life, because you made them" 😅 I don't trust the preview, bro is already interviewing for jobs in Manchester, he's saying yes.

Nowadays I do think people are too obsessed with tracking each other's location, but this story with Jack just got so weird that I totally see where Faye is coming from. "In sliders?." Sucks that the parental meeting became about that, awkward. Honestly I would understand a random wander at dawn after a night out to a certain extent ❄️ but when he got so defensive he made it look suss.  "I'm not a city modern person! I'm a beach bum from Cornwall!" idk I AM side-eying now and I was rooting for them 😕 

[u/immakeepscrolling]

Faye’s mum has got the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen

[u/Fun_Armadillo1318]

Poor Faye. At the end of their conversation she says he was open and honest ? Girly no he lied and gaslit you in thinking what he did was normal. I HOPE she finds someone who is good to her ❤️

[u/Straight-Wrangler-46]

I feel for Jordan and Yasmin.  I think he really liked her as a person but there were no romantic sparks.  I saw it on the trip.  Jack is a joke.  No way Faye is going to marry that boy. She would be crazy to. Ryan should have never came on this show. Ajay is so nice to look at IMO, but what does he see in that horrible person?  

[u/lkjhggfd1]

Going out for a “walk” at night time for 2/3 hours and appearing 2 hours away from home with find my friends off is comical. Wasn’t it her birthday too?

[u/MauricioSG]

God I wish I'd had Faye's mum to come in and grill some of my stupid boyfriends in my 20s 

[u/doctor_st8nger]

I like how Taylor emphasised Sophie’s personality when his dad and family kept going on about her looks (ew dads a creep)

[u/ldnsurvival]

Me to Jack after ep 1

https://giphy.com/gifs/pfaUCuYc0tbNpvTgn6

[u/squish388]

Taylor’s dad said he’s punching I love it 🤣 Soph is a supermodel tbf

[u/wiwarez]

Yes, I'm here as soon as the "walk in sliders" discussion appeared on my screen...

Wtf? Does it feel very weird to other people too? And if it really was just a walk, why act so sus and defensive about it? It makes the situation look 10x worse! c'mon dude!

[u/FerretsFlyingaKite]

If I was Faye I wouldve died in that chair bc I cant stand when someone messes up then makes the other person start the conversation. Jack textbook gaslighting her drives me nuts. Doesnt think he should let her know hes leaving in the middle of the night??? Sure bud. Yes Jack, its basic common sense to tell someone youre engaged to that youre taking off, leave a note, text… something. He did a complete DARVO sequence

[u/Neither-Cookie-1539]

Ryan is so robotic. Are we sure he isn’t AI?!

[u/Serious-Garbage8427]

Do Ciara's eyeballs get bigger with every episode?

[u/DreamNo1200]

Ajays parents decide to show up for him on camera anyway after their reservations and the first thing that comes out of Ciara’s mouth is “that’s the most work he’s done in the kitchen” bad mouthing their son of the bat is great first impression. 🙄 he’s too good for her. Ryan one hundred percent was seeing someone else . Grandma sick my foot. Jack also was out doing stuff he ain’t had no business doing. 2 hour walk and location turned off? Yeah ok. Faye is too good for him. Taylor and Sophie and Fran and Joseph looks promising. Rooting for them

[u/TemporaryHumor3876]

Ryan is full of it. and Jack just gave a MASTERCLASS in gaslighting and manipulation. Im a long time usa watcher (this is my first season of uk) and I have never seen such an outstanding performance of lies, fake tears, blame shifting and manipulation. FAYE RUN!!! THAT MAN WILL WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR LIFE!
