WHILE IT’S FUN to see people get on swimmingly on First Dates Ireland, sometimes it’s even more fun to hide behind a cushion as they don’t. Last night’s episode was full of those moments.
Half-Irish, half-Icelandic Kari and gymnastics coach Camille were paired up, and had some very awkward chats about veganism and skinny dipping.
They agreed to split the bill 50/50, but Kari made a big faux-pas in the eyes of the viewers by asking her to give him cash so he could pay by card.
“Actually, I have to pay by card because I don’t have the…”
“So I’ll give you cash then?”
“Yeah.” *awkward silence*
Ohhhh dear.
Whoops!

“Mean vegan Icelandic pox.” Steady on!
But it wasn’t just Kari and Camille – it was particularly awkward evening for quite a few couples in the restaurant.
Farmer George met Guinness tour guide Amanda, who’s heading back to college to do a Masters in Women, Gender and Society.
The pair had a nice chinwag about feminism, then moved on to the importance of deli workers (as you do), at which point George put his foot in it just a tad:
You have a hangover, you go to the deli, she looks at you and she knows how vulnerable you are. I’m saying ‘she’ because mostly…men are bad at making sandwiches. Y’know what I mean. Women are… It was a girl, in my experience.
Meanwhile Amanda is sitting there like, “Hah?”
And everyone at home simultaneously roared “NOOOOO GEORGE.”
Whoops!

Kari and Camille decided they’d prefer to be friends – but George and Amanda said they would like to see each other again, and have since been on three dates. D’aww.
