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?

I'm loving the twin wedding
The guy in the blue is so sweet, and she's basing him on his size! He seems lovely but it wont last....

Honeyroar · 03/07/2020 22:14

Lauren in Sydney is so cruel and rude not being in touch at all. I bet the reason her child wasn’t at the ceremony is because some poor ex is trying to keep his son grounded while his mother keeps doing nutty things!

The twins were strange. I thought they’d have been the other way round, as in the other twin wouldn’t have liked the taller bloke. Was the one dithering about whether she fancies him the one saying her make up was wrong? I got mixed up which was which!

I’m annoyed we have to wait til Monday for the next episode.

Honeyroar · 03/07/2020 23:16

I know!

CatkinToadflax "Did I miss something - why was Debbie so convinced that John was going to be Polynesian and then so unimpressed when he wasn't?!" She said she had dated someone from a Polynesian Island and liked the culture. To be honest I think the matchers were very unfair to match her with a smoker and to ignore her interest in someone Polynesian. But then as others have noted they are not doing this to 'help' these singles out, they are doing it for TV ratings.

Honeyroar "Lauren in Sydney is so cruel and rude not being in touch at all." I know, they seemed to hit it off so well.

"The twins were strange. I thought they’d have been the other way round, as in the other twin wouldn’t have liked the taller bloke." I agree with you, I thought that.

"Was the one dithering about whether she fancies him the one saying her make up was wrong?" Yes.

There is so much 'room' for the twins's new husbands to get it wrong! They looked so alike in almost identical dresses! But I can tell them apart and actually I felt Sharon came across a lot better than Michelle.

I'm guessing the only reason the producers didn't hook them up with male identical twins is because none applied, that'll be next!!

I wish them all well, I really like Simon and his new bride and I like Sharon's new husband, and definitely Susan and her husband from the first episode. Oh and Andrew and Vanessa seem well matched and he is cheddar gorge!

I really do not want to google anything so can't remember all the names!

PurplePansy05 · 04/07/2020 12:47

I think Jesse is a good guy, and very handsome IMO. I don't think it will last, sadly, but I think his future "wife for good" will be very lucky.

Honeyroar · 04/07/2020 12:53

@Italiangreyhound your memory of their names is pretty amazing. I can barely remember any!

Italiangreyhound · 04/07/2020 13:10

Honeyroar I seem to be able to remember one person in each couple and it's usually the woman. There seem to be a few Andrews and Johns and it gets confusing!

ginandcv · 04/07/2020 13:31

Thanks for posting this. Very happy to see new series Smile

Momniscient · 04/07/2020 14:47

Just catching up. Barrier down the bed! Good grief.

Really strange about Lauren.

Yeknom · 04/07/2020 20:31

Gaaaah! I don't want to wait until Monday!

I'm so intrigued to find out what happens on their honeymoons!

Italiangreyhound · 05/07/2020 02:55

I do find some of the reason for matching quite spurious!

Can anyone remember them? One they said something like both of them have been cheated on! WTF. And she has also cheated as well as being cheated on, so it looks like they have set up a kind of 'bomb' to go off!

The guy they matched with the single mum used to be a teacher so he would understand her child! Very weird reasons!

Does anyone think any of the couples will stay together?
Cheryl and Johnathan?
Sean and Susan?
Michael and Scarlet?
Anthony and Nadia?
Andrew and Vanessa?
Alene and Simon?
Andrew and Lauren?
Debbie and John?
Jesse and Michelle?
Nick and Sharon?

Nick called himself a bogan (an uncouth or unsophisticated person regarded as being of low social status.) - I had to look it up! And I have visit Australia and probably heard that word before!

Cruddles · 05/07/2020 07:02

@Italiangreyhound yes that's why i made by comments about these "experts" bullshitting the seriousness of it, it's all for TV ratings. Their reasons for matching people just seem to be made up on the fly.

PurplePansy05 · 05/07/2020 09:58

I would say there's a reasonable prospect for:

Sean and Susan
Anthony and Nadia
Andrew and Vanessa

But what I don't get is that they match them from all over the country. Surely it won't be easy for someone from QLD to move to Perth. I think distance might be a big problem, even if they like each other.

Italiangreyhound · 05/07/2020 12:00

@PurplePansy05
I agree about

Sean and Susan
Andrew and Vanessa

Not Anthony and Nadia

But I do think there is a vague chance for Alene and Simon and Sharon and Nick.

Anyone else want to take a guess?

No spoilers, please!

I agree with all of this. Anthony and Nadia depends on Nadia. As Anthony seems to definitely want it to work out.
Agree on the distance point made by a PP.

HowzAboutThisThen · 05/07/2020 18:56

I bet most of them have said they want someone "tall. dark and handsome". So why would they match the tall ladies with someone same/slightly shorter? I am sure they know it would be a problem for most.
Am not saying it SHOULD be - but both ladies matched with shorter men have said that it may be a problem

Christinayangtwistedsister · 05/07/2020 19:57

I'm loving this, what a truly bizarre experience

LarkDescending · 05/07/2020 22:16

I want Alene and Simon to work, but I am pessimistic for all of them really. I would be amazed if Michael and Scarlett even make it through the “honeymoon”.

Re past results - apparently there is a baby from Season 1 of MAFS Australia, and an ongoing relationship from Season 2 (we are watching Season 4 of 7, and I have no idea how this lot get on). I wonder what success rate you need in order to call yourself a matchmaking expert.

They’re not legally married in the Australian version, though I think they are in other countries’ MAFS franchises.

ginandcv · 05/07/2020 22:22

I agreed with Debbie on John sticking his tongue out and smoking. Real turn off.

I was so surprised the Lauren went through with it then legged it too. They seemed to get on so well!

LarkDescending · 05/07/2020 22:30

I agree re Debbie & John - surely no hope for them. It’s an obviously bad match. Perhaps they were the only ones to apply in their age group!

Re Lauren - I bet the “experts” edited in their bit about her tendency to run away, after she had done a runner!

ginandcv · 05/07/2020 22:43

They are all hung up on height.

DaisyChainsForever · 05/07/2020 22:49

@LarkDescending i thought the same about Debbie and John being the only ones in their age group to apply.

PurplePansy05 · 05/07/2020 22:54

To be fair, most of the women are very tall! I wish! I personally wouldn't want to have a shorter partner.

KurriKawari · 05/07/2020 22:55

Far too many couples.
