Self-justifying attention-seeking strategies and manipulative psychoses in Aussie faux-scientific anthropological claptrap. MAFS Part Deux.

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Hello All.

I hope it's bonza that I took the liberty of starting a second thread - just didn't want us gong walkabout in the bush (pardon my Fronch ) if we ran out of the other (whoops did it again!)

Wow, an episode that actually held my attention and didn’t leave me aimlessly refreshing AIBUs about women who aren’t happy with the massive houses their husbands have bought them 😂

Jesse was hammered! I enjoyed him prattling on about his door in the apartment, which then cut to Michelle and him walking through an actual door. Hopefully a jokey edit by the production team and not just an assumption that the audience need to be reminded what a door is.

Well I take back about 10% of my cruel words about Blandy! I liked his 5yr dream of carrying Vanessa up a mountain a la King Kong. Even she looked pleased to hear something other than ‘looking forward to seeing what the future holds’ 😴

Nadia and Anthony stuff clearly scripted to inject some drama now Abandrew and Beryl have fucked off. Nice to see Nadia’s got a bit of spark in there though. I felt like we finally got to see some of the contestants’ personalities tonight... with one episode to go it was about time 😂

@AltheaThoon

I'm a bit behind tonight so I'm sorry if this observation has already been made but poor Jesse is always put on the end at the dinner parties. Doesn't seem fair. It's crap sitting on the end of a long table. It makes it almost impossible to integrate.

Yeah poor old Jesilla! I would be knocking back the booze and staring at an asparagus tip like it had just landed from outer space if I were stuck on the end too. Especially with Me-chelle as my only dining companion.

You are right Althea - I remember thinking that a few weeks ago and then I forgot about it - but it does make him a bit of a Billy-No-Mates. Itcould be why he says/does some rather stupid things. I wonder why they don't have a circular table?

I could do without AnTHony’s bloody commentary on other couple’s relationships.
Who made him the expert?

I haven’t watched tonight’s episode yet so just skipped a page or so. Just wanted to go back a bit - Cheryls dad. I swear he is so familiar. Has he been on tv before in his own right?

Mr Schaden said he should have let her go first (which was what I'd been thinking).

I'm just watching the first episode of the British version now - seems MUCH more scientifically based and they seem to be trying to match lifestyles rather than "balance" them by putting opposites together. Only three couples and a proper marriage ceremony - I'm only up to the weddings so I have no idea how the show pans out.

He's a real *rse isn't he? What a know-it-all!

So when this all ends what shall we watch next? I hear the Netflix show about arranged marriages has sparked some controversy..?

Not only was Jesse on the end, the twins had sat together between him and Nick. Michelle appeared to spend most of her time talking to Sharon, with her back turned to Jesse.

He's so invested in the other relationships he doesn't realise his is in the gutter!

Sorry, meant to write Indian Matchmaking on Netflix, review here

Woah Nick is drunk!

Forget how they’re going to feel ‘going back to normal life’ I’m going to miss this thread!!
😂😂😂

I have been devouring Indian Matchmaking (on the side) and wanting to compare notes with you lot!

I used to be a sensible and cultured person. Oh well...

Oh god Jesse and his fucking door. The metaphor never worked and now he just can't stop.

I'm only 10 mins in on catch up and I'm really annoyed.

Just watching on catch up.

Reckon Jesse is stuck in a revolving door with no exit.

@wailedAndNearlyLevitated

Cheryl’s dad (Hamish Maitland) strongly reminds me of someone off the telly - and I can’t quite pinpoint who - but I don’t think he had a TV presence before his delightful cameo in MAFS.

Thank you for that Netflix link - I'll definitely have a look at that!.

Forget how they’re going to feel ‘going back to normal life’ I’m going to miss this thread!!

"Normal life" is soooo over-rated.

I would have loved it when the "expert" came to the dinner and said you've got one more task to do, and one them got up and smacked him around the chops saying "nah fuck off mate".

We horrible as some of the contestants are the experts are the worst people in this show. They way they're almost salivating with glee when talking about their question cards, designed to create drama

I do regret getting sucked into this programme but feel compelled to see it though. I don't remember the other UK, US or Oz series being half do daft.

I have just finished watching Indian Matchmaking. I found it rather unsatisfying in the end .

I watch all the trash - I was hooked on Love is Blind.

Finally an entertaining episode.

I agree dimples. I binged Love is Blind at the weekend. I'm hoping for a second series.

The 'experts' are anything but!

I wonder if Jesse went to have an off camera chat with one of the ‘experts’ and they made some reference to him and Michelle going through the door.... and he’s been fixated on the bloody door ever since.
