Jesse looks like to me, the product of someone who's had a comfortable upbringing. Got gifted a job in his Dad's workplace. Has his own little pad at his parents and the mum looks like a stay at home mum who can look after his living 24/7. Outside of his work it seems he has no obligations and chores at all. He hasn't grown up cause he hasn't needed to. Either that, or, and I'm gonna go real amateur psych here, the divorce of his biological parents damaged him a lot.

I mean, what kind of 30 year old guy shows off his FIFA game when he first has his girl in his room?

Jesse strikes me as a little 'sheltered', so to speak. Grew up and spent his teen years in front of the telly, retains that love of sitting around as an adult. Consequently a bit socially stunted. Just happens to be better looking than your average basement dweller.

Do we really need to give that one to Glen Jakovich?

About the only phrase he's coined is his trademark inhalation of breath through clenched teeth.
i reference Jakovich because he was using it without actually understanding it was a joke. He was exploring suing Adrian Barich for pulling the piss out of him all the time about it.

I thought that was Barich not understanding it was a joke and Jakovich threatening to sue because he took the piss out of Jakovich using it even though he was doing so correctly.

I'd believe that if he was 25, but the guy is 31. I know people like that, gifted a job, live at their parents etc. They aren't simple like Jesse is.

I mean if you just look at
1) He cannot read social queues at all. Like at all. He seems to be oblivious to Michelle not being keen for weeks.
2) He doesn't speak well, he pauses before he says everything like he is thinking what he is going to say.
3) There is something up with his constant eating, seems like he has low impulse control.

If he isn't ADHD i would be absolutely amazed.

Barich isn't a complete cretin like Jakovich so i would be inclined to think Jakovich was using it incorrectly (at least initially)

Jakovich used to work at the post office in the 90s - they had to take him off the till because he couldn't get his head around the change. People were complaining because he kept giving them the wrong change lol.

Yeah you've rolled that one out before.

Jacko is just a cretin, I actually think he doesn't mind Freo.

apparantly when he was working at the post office they had to take him off the till - he couldn't get his head around how to give people the correct change.
Jakovich used to work in the post office but they had to move him off the front desk because he kept giving people the wrong change - he couldn't get his head around it.
I'm not inclined to think Jakovich used the idiom without understanding it. It stands to reason it's a blend of "not rocket science" and "not brain surgery" because those are recognised idioms that every English-speaking person, including Jakovich, has heard a million times before.

What is more likely is that Barich is too dumb to recognise it as a ironically-deployed fusion of those two idioms and thought Jakovich was an idiot who "got it wrong". Possibly because he heard a story about him mucking up the change at the post office in the 1990s, I don't know.

But I digress.

Might have a touch of the 'bergers.

I wonder where Jonesy is holed up today, riding out the storm, while relentlessly playing his guitar for comfort.
He posted an auction on Instagram for his wedding ring on Monday night, right after boys night aired. In the name of supporting MND. Nearly all comments slammed him for using the disease to try to look like a good bloke after just showing the world what a compete arsehole he is. He has since taken the post down.

Actually - just checked. Looks like his account has been deactivated and almost all photos of him on the others accounts have been deleted since this morning.

Interesting.......

social cues. maybe he just really really wants it to work so he has a wife/partner. I reckon if he walked into the bedroom and say michelle juggling usain bolt and majek daw in each hand he'd shrug his shoulders and eat something.

the pause before speaking maybe because he doesnt know what to say and just wants to be included. i.e. hey everyone...pause (oh shit say something funny)....hawhaw.

I think constant eating is clever editing for one, but on the other hand at dinner if no ones talking to you, what do you do? eat/drink.

With a night to sleep on it im no less raging.

I sincerely hope the psychs rip shreds off Jonesy the next sit down they have, what he was doing last night was borderline domestic abuse.


Way to downplay actual domestic abuse you cretin.

Caught the last couple of episodes, Anthony and Andrew the two main villains, Jessie seems pretty clueless maybe he's just hoping against hope, that Slovakian actor thing he did was agonizing, don't reckon Cheryl is in it for the right reasons either though, in saying that the way Andrew has handled it has been pretty pathetic the guy is 38 and still can't take responsibility for himself lol

Absolute trash T.V but it's kept me entertained the last couple episodes I saw.
