Married at first sight Australia on E4

[Honeyroar]

Anyone watching? The Sydney couple are never going to last. She’s so annoying, surely just on it to get on tv??

Have their ever been a couple from these shows that have stayed married?

@YourVagesty

I told DH about the genius 'Abandrew' nickname and he has challenged me (and by extension, all of you) to come up with a similar nickname for his least favourite person, Anthony. Any ideas? What about Angrony?

Agree with pps, the Jonesy, Jonesy, Jonesy, Jonesy thing was so cringe. Very interesting in terms of group dynamics that the rest of the group followed the twins (who were just marking their territory) in all the Jonesy nonsense. As though he was their best friend.

Angrony 😂 love it

Anthony's phonecall was chilling. The way he gets wound up is awful. You can picture him whacking Nadia then saying your pushed me to it'. Awful man

He was so rude wasn’t he. Surely at this point (and in front of cameras) you’d be on your best behaviour?

And if that phone call was Antony being polite for the cameras I dread to think what he'd be like normally - can't stand him.

Agree with everything PP have said about last night’s episode... Susan came off a bit vapid IMO, going on about having endless hours in the day to drink and dine al fresco with friends, and kind of turning her nose up at Sean’s lifestyle. I get it, it’s not for her (I’m a total town mouse myself!), but I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can dedicate themselves to a physically demanding job and do it with such passion. It seemed like Sean felt that he should be the one to change despite not being the one physically moving. YY to thinking of them as some sort of ‘later in life’ romance 😂 I’m a few years older than both of them and that’s not how I would’ve described meeting my DH five years ago 😂

Simon is overwhelmed by the female attention he’s getting for possibly the first time in his life. I think he has massive self esteem issues from his epilepsy and is also grieving. He’s clearly missing his terrible hair to hide behind too 😆 I think he’s not feeling it with Alene and is kicking himself for it. I love Alene and still think she would’ve been best with Abandrew, he’s cheesy and sweet and funny and so is she.

Meanwhile he’s putting the unwanted pash on big bird Chezza, and she’s scrabbling around for the ejector seat button 🤣 I doubt she realised the level of sociopathy required to successfully portray a showmance for more than a couple of episodes. I don’t think she’s a horrible person, but definitely only after the fame.

Michelle as demanding-yet-dull as ever, poor old Jesse trying to give it the big ‘un down the fruit n veg market. That was never going to impress a woman who expects treats and presents despite having no romantic interest in her partner whatsoever. Like Susan, Michelle shows no respect or admiration for a man trying to make something of himself with a good job and saving for his own home.

Why did everyone keep calling Nick, Nick Furthy (Fir Tree? Furry Teeth?!!). He even referred to himself that way (instant red card). He’s not Chris freakin Hemsworth! Dial it down mate.

Nadia and Angrony/Twatony/Spoonhead was predictable. Less predictable; the soulless little bedsit he lived in! I was quite surprised. Sydney prices I guess. Still, no excuse for the ornamental ‘A’ propped on the stairwell... if only I could think of a word that best describes Anthony beginning with A...

I don't think Susan was looking down her nose at him or his lifestyle - it was more "WTF? I was picturing a stylish ranch!" I also think the penny had dropped that he wasn't what she thought he was. Therefore, everything he did started to get questioned by her.

Susan is a truck-driver iirc. I am surprised she is quite so precious about her al fresco dining etc.

@KurriKawari

I think we're unanimous in our feelings towards Anthont, but what do we think of Nadia? He seems to want a wife that looks pretty and doesn't want an equal relationship. She must realise that he's not very nice to anyone, including her.

Her face when he said “She’s mine” was a picture, mine was probably the same. What a vile nasty piece of work he is, he’s got abuser written all over him.

Yes initially I thought she’d be quite good on a ranch (and so far we’ve only seen a couple of small fields and a few horses, so doesn’t feel so isolated to me!). But then it showed pics of her drinking bubbly with her mates and I hesitated.

Anthony genuinely believes that he is better than other people, that he’s the ultimate alpha male. I think he believes he is justified speaking to/about “lesser mortals” with such contempt because they’re wasting his hugely important time!

Nadia is typical cabin crew, used to smiling and brushing over bad behaviour, she’s an emphasiser. I’m cabin crew too and there are so many Nadias at work! But she’ll equally be quite good at calming him down a bit (as she did at the dinner party), which is probably why they matched her. She will be noting it in her head, and hopefully soon will say enough is enough, you’re awful. He will be all “how dare she dump me I’m worth so much more than her!”

Anthony comes across as a rude snob and thinks he's James Bond. Wish someone would remind him he's a horse racing commentator.

What is that huge thing in Susan's hair??! I really like her but that one huge flower!

Eugh Anthony is a cock, you can see the whole group wishing Nadia to leave

Oh Susan has lot of hair flowers she does make me laugh in a sweet way, talking about her cosmopolitan lifestyle, dressing way older than she is and get wearing flowers in her hair like a 7 year old. Her and Sean are my second fave couple and hope they find a lifestyle compromise.

The fact that Cheryl even went on the show at 25 was any easy spot that she just saw it as a tv fame opportunity. So fake all over and so immature.

I find it really hard to watch anyone on tv now with those plumped lips it just makes everything they say come across as pouty whinging !

Wow Alene is annoying. Stupid noises and barking at Simon...
Only just started episode 13!

find it really hard to watch anyone on tv now with those plumped lips it just makes everything they say come across as pouty whinging

I thought they were real! Just an unfortunate shape! I don’t know why anyone would pump their lips up like that!

@kurrikawari yes totally! I agree with everything!!

I really like Simon so much! I just want to give him a cuddle - even with his curls. He's such a keeper.

I also really like Vanessa and Andrew, slow burners but think they could make it!

Simon and Alene are sweet. And even if they dont make it I think they can hold their heads up high, they've been lovely to each others and the group- as have Andrew and Vanessa.

I am pretty sure in previous seasons they didnt live in this weird commune. They lived with each other in one of their homes. I genuinely would have liked to see the show like that. How can any of them commit to a marriage or a few days at their house whilst in this bubble?

OMG Cheryl’s Dad!

I’d forgotten what an idiot Chery’s dad was at her wedding! He made Anthony look like a lovely sweet guy. He was a nutcase!

I’m actually disappointed that none of them split up tonight! Thought we’d have got rid of Michelle!

Hey, Susan, 1999 called, it wants the blue nail polish back 🙄

Dreadful sense of style!

Also it looks like Alene's bitchy bridesmaid will make a return!

I can't deal with Nadia and Anthony, both unlikeable for different reasons and a toxic match for Nadia. Anthony is awful, did you see that massive letter A in his sterile apartment? Loves himself much? I can't deal with their views from the 50s. He doesn't own her but he thinks he does. She's submissive to him instead of getting her arse in gear, getting a reasonable career and being self-sufficient. I personally don't get it at all!

To clarify re Nadia, I understand she said she's no longer cabin crew or a model, she's looking for something else and he said to her she's lacking direction.

So he poses to be a male saviour but also doesn't hesitate to put her down as he sees fit. Nasty.

I agree Nadia is hard to understand - I keep thinking I see a modern assertive woman in her, bristling at the bazillion red flags emerging every time Anthony opens his mouth, then she goes all melty at him talking over/for her (“I’ll answer that!”) and wanting to be her 1950s provider.

I was watching tonight thinking Michelle and Anthony might have been a good match. They’re both very judgemental, materialistic and think they’re better than others.

@Honeyroar think you're on to something there. Gutted we're not shot of the pair of them and their condescending glances during the commitment ceremonies
