Feeling a bit put off by the obvious scripting and storyboarding of this show now (though will keep watching to the bitter end of course 😂). As if Debbie wants to stay, as if Jonathan was convinced by a limply worded argument from Jesse about ‘fighting to the end’ 🙄. It’s all just been orchestrated for maximum drama, which I’m not keen on.
If this had been the UK show, yeah everyone would’ve looked a bit ropier and had worse teeth and there would’ve been shots of rainy Wolverhampton not glorious Sydney Harbour 😆, but it would’ve been more authentic. I remember the MAFS UK show where that lovely policeman was stuck with that dreadful blonde woman who hated his dog and forced him to keep it penned in. If that had been the Oz show, there would’ve been loads of dramatic music over the top and edits of shocked faces, she would’ve agreed to stay to keep the drama going etc. That level of scripted shite is why I no longer watch TOWIE, MIC etc, so for me it’s a shame to see it here (this is the first series of MAFS Oz I’ve watched).
With that in mind, no surprises for me about who claimed to want to stay or leave, but I’m very glad Scarlett got out now as Michael is a real oddball, and malevolent with it. Also it was quite telling how Cheryl and Michael, who both rejected their partners, were then incensed when said rejectees had the temerity to start a flirtation. Clearly hurt pride for those two big heads! Don’t hold out much hope for Michelle and Jesse, and Vanessa seemed at the end of her rope with Blandrew too. I think Sharon will tire of Nick’s assertions that a great relationship involves him fucking up and her mummying him along. She seems great and deserves a grown up relationship.
Makeover week tonight... I’m guessing it’s a makeover for one 😂 thank god because Simon’s hair ‘style’ is bordering on ocular abuse. I really hope that it works out for the lovely Alene, she’s very patient with him and deserves a husband she can find physically attractive.
The return of Abandrew 😂 really pleased as he’s my favourite chap. Hope they don’t hook him up with Cheryl though, as then he’s gone from unlucky in love gentleman with heart of gold, to sleazy old hound in the blink of an eye.
