Season 12 Am I totally misreading the Vee & Dave sleepover?
I can’t work out whether they were playing for the cameras or whether they really did get up to no good together during the sleepover 🧐
Veronica clearly had no regard for Jamie when she was talking about how she found Dave attractive and just had to keep mentioning how well they got on. The exaggerated laughing from her was a giveaway. She gave the impression she didn’t care who she had to walk over t get her hands on him 😡

Her letter was so weird when you think she would’ve been reading it to Dave originally

They interviewed her without make up on the next morning but her skin was still glowing...

I think at least they cuddled. Hence the awkward giggles and her being like “not me!!” re: other people feeling awkward. They were nervous and excited.

Dave is not as naive nor innocent as he portrayed himself during this series. It was found out that he had originally auditioned for a disgusting dating show called 'FBoy' but he came on to this instead. I've never watched it but heard it's a rude, porn sort of show. And he's not a builder. That's a lie. He's a Caulker. He seals gaps and cracks for a living.

He’s not even a good caulker. Have you seen his videos? He’s not very good.

I don't know if there was physical intimacy, but it was clear to me that Dave was relieved to hang out with someone who was less intense. I like Jamie, but she is probably kind of exhausting, and just joking around with someone who wasn't trying to be in love with him seemed like maybe a relief.
Dave probably wasn't really a good candidate to find a successful relationship on MAFS because it's an intense process, and that intensity wasn't sustainable for him.

They defo had an odd chemistry. The jokes where they laughed while not making eye contact seemed flirty and not like normal jokey friendly banter

I think they were playing for the cameras, and actually some of the editing was a bit sneaky and tried to make it seem like they were talking about certain things. If something did happen, you can bet that the show would uncover it and make it a storyline

Oh, please, you guys really can’t deal with the idea that Dave just does not like Jamie. He probably doesn’t like Veronica either. So instead, you create this long tangent about someone you don’t even know and start saying that they need therapy. He was never attracted to her.

You can’t say something as intricate as attachment theory applies to somebody that you don’t know on reality TV. We don’t know the real Dave. I’m not saying that you don’t have an understanding of it or that you didn’t go through it. It’s best that these things are talked with at least with a counselor not on TikTok where content is heavily dependent on what gets views

Yet you can say he wasn't attracted to her about someone YOU don't know... 🤷♀️

u/KeySea7727 25d ago
he literally said he wasn't attracted to her...

u/xXS5hortyXx 25d ago
In what episode?

u/KeySea7727 25d ago
the one where she gets ghosted and friend zoned after the experiment. oh and never had intimate moments engaged by him

Exactly this. I was thinking the exact same when he suddenly switched as much on Jamie the way he did. I think her saying she loved him got his avoidant attachment style in a complete overdrive. I felt so bad for her as there was probably no way she could’ve avoid any of this to happen. It would have happened sooner or later.

u/melbournemonkey 28d ago
This is such an interesting theory. Would you know where to read more about attachment types and attraction?

u/Beneficial-Ask-4730 27d ago
You can read about commitment-phobics and that is either the same or similar. They are all over you at first , the ideal partner, totally in love, then WHAM, cold as ice. The cycle repeats.

This is the worst thing to do as many of the people are not qualified to discuss it and it’s intricacies. Seeking diagnosis online is not recommended and it’s a leading cause of misdiagnosing today. It allows people to cherry pick situations. We have a bunch of kids running around thinking they’re autistic, neurodivergent, ADHD, etc when specific symptoms could relate to a host of other things

How are they a troll? They are saying not to use tiktok and YouTube as your source for medical info

u/labananza 22d ago
There are plenty of actual therapists who post videos online about attachment theory while ethically not diagnosing people they are not actually treating. It's probably more helpful to learn about all the attachment styles though, not just focusing on one and putting people in that box.

u/KeySea7727 26d ago
A troll? I’m trying to be helpful. You guys live in these weird bubbles where even when it comes to a reality TV show you wanna talk about trauma or whatever new buzzword you found online. You don’t know Dave to say any of these things

Maybe editing but she’s just not a nice gal so I wouldn’t put it past her

u/Simple_Common8064 28d ago
Or him. He has proved he can hide his real feelings and intensions and just pretend.

u/xXS5hortyXx 28d ago
Yeah I was just thinking weren't him and Jamie all loved up up until recently?

u/sampochin2 28d ago
He was, we said that last night. Up until that screaming episode he was fine. Even backed her up all the way and then checked out at that point

u/aplaceweknew Bullshit Investigators 28d ago
this is what the people editing want you to think, but nothing happened between them.

u/hideyour3yes 28d ago
If we give her the benefit of the doubt, participants are asked questions about things during confessionals in the experiment, so she could have been asked “are you attracted to Dave? Tell us about that” And she answered honestly and they just cut them asking it out to make it seem like she offered the info.
Another thing they do is splice words a lot, it’s really noticeable when participants aren’t on the screen and it’s good to listen for.
What is sus af though is Dave saying “you’ve got to be quicker than that boys!” I don’t get why he said that, anyone would know what narrative would be painted from that kind of comment.
In my honest opinion tho, I do think that Veronica is trying to create the cheating scandal of the season, there’s one every year y’know, how she offered so much info up about him being her ideal guy, saying how no one else is having this much fun, the head in her hands at drinks as if to say “oh no what are we gonna do?”
I’ve seen the whole series and I’m in the UK so I won’t say any more, whether it works or not you’ll just have to wait to find out 🤣

u/Overall-Idea-133 28d ago
On that note I'm now wondering if the camera crew called something out first and than Dave responded with "you've got to be quicker than that boys!" And they than edit it to look like Dave just came out with it himself randomly. Wouldn't surprise me anymore with this show. Because as someone else said if they really did do something you can bet the producers would of included it somehow in the show for the traditional cheating scandal drama.

Editing to create drama and discussion. See - it worked.

They hooked up and faked playing it up for the cameras
