It’s been the week where everything’s blown up for model MAFS couple Jamie and Dave. How did this happen? Where did Dave’s reservations all of a sudden come from? Do they survive the rest of the experiment? There’s been so many questions, and basically zero that have been answered. So I think it’s safe to say that we’re all feeling confused AF at the moment.
And while we might not know truly as to where Dave’s head is at until the experts grill him on the Commitment Ceremony couch this Sunday night, we’ve put our investigative journalistic skills to good use. And by good use, we mean created a comprehensive and dated picture timeline as to when shit hit the fan with these two, and where it’s about to head.
Okay, here’s the breakdown.
16 September 2024: Happily in love
Until now, these two have been going from strength to strength. It’s around about here that Jamie tells Dave she loves him for the first time, and while he might not have said it back yet, these pictures tell us that he’s feeling the vibes too.
Back on September 16 last year (ie two weeks before the most painful dinner party ever), we spotted Jamie and Dave walking around Green Square on a coffee run. And while they might not exactly be pashing each other on the street, there’s lots of hand holding, closeness, and just an overall sense that these two are in sync with each other. This looks like a genuine couple.
It is obvious that these two are dating Not a platonic vibe at all Dave does not let go of Jamie’s hand once It’s giving ‘strongest couple energy’ Even their steps are in sync! Ugh I wish it could just go back to this Okay so coupleness has been established
1 October 2024: Arriving at the dinner party alone
Now, somewhere in these next two weeks, things take a turn. And based on the episode timeline we’ve been given on our screens, it appears that Jamie and Dave’s relationship only started going south just before this dinner party, which was filmed on October 1.
As we now all know, Jamie arrived solo to the dinner party from hell. And if you’re wanting a recap of all our thoughts on this catastrophe, it’s best to first head over here.
Now, the main burning question on everyone’s mind is: where to from here? Dave claims he has hope, but does the previously watertight couple actually manage to crawl their way out of this mess? It’s time to scroll down further and decide that one for yourselves.
Jamie entering the most painful dinner party ever This is not a happy lady at all #JusticeForJamie
16 October 2024: Back together, but the vibes are way off
Okay, so this is where we start to feel sick. These pictures, taken two weeks after the dinner party that went down on our screens this Wednesday, confirm that the two still stay in the experiment (at least for now).
And while that’s a small positive we can draw from the situation, our spidey senses are telling us that Dave is checking the fuck out of this big time. And lord does he look uncomfortable. There’s absolutely zero handholding, no closeness, and far too many thousand yard stares out and away from Jamie.
Let’s be real, this man looks like he’s trying to establish eye contact with anyone just to signal to get him out of there. One might presume Dave’s being held hostage if you didn’t know the backstory. And to make matters worse, he’s even walking slightly ahead of her at all times, which is a STARK contrast to just a month earlier.
We’re crying for Jamie right now, too, because you can tell just by her facial expressions that she’s feeling cast out by him. OH MY GOD I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
A rare moment that Dave actually looks at Jamie in these pap pics Thousand yard stare if ever I’ve seen one This man wants out, and Jamie’s picking up on it too Totally disengaged Poor Jamie also looks exhausted by having to deal with this shit Dave walking ahead of Jamie Not nice guy behaviour These two could easily just be friends if you didn’t know them
Well, there you have it folks. While we don’t want to call it just yet, it looks like the writing might be on the wall for these two. And you know what annoys me the most? It’s the fact that somehow, this man still manages to keep his place in the experiment after this week, only proving that he’s about to waste even more of queen Jamie’s time.
Okay, enough from me. Time to go an scream into a pillow.
