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!)

Yes I caught the bullshit comment in the trailer. But they edit so much I can’t trust it. Re buying the dress, nothing wrong with that but the whole wear it and meet me in it is weird. How does he know she’ll like it? Whereas Allene went shopping WITH Simon.

It was the 'be glam' instruction that got me.

Watching now...
Susan's butterfly clips are everything 😂💕

I’m not sure how they can drag another week out of this. I think I’ll just tune in for the last episode - it’s getting a bit boring now!

Susan and Sean are going to call it a day and I’m going to blub when they do. I know some people think Susan would move if she really loved him - but that lifestyle is so different. I worked on a farm in oz when I was in my 20’s. It was very similar - isolated, scruffy, so basic and miles away from anything and everything. And you couldn’t go outside at night once it started going dark unless you wanted to be eaten by millions of mosquitos. So evenings were spent sat in a sweaty scruffy farm house.

The twin who has the bad dream has either been told to make some trash up or is actually just desperate for attention.

Simon and Alene are so sweet together. I so want them to fall in love.

Nadia has got the measure of Andrew but can’t or won’t do anything about it he’s just in this to get to the end on his terms I reckon. I think they’ll stay together then he’ll dump her. It will be a ‘I just wanted to make sure I could have you’ situation.

I’m a bit confused re the number of episodes because it was 29 in Australia and publicised as 25 here.

Episodes 26-29 are supposed to be aftermath/reunion type things, following the final decisions and vow renewals which take us up to 25.

Incidentally I see that the episodes were 60 mins in Australia and 90 mins here (same content). I thought the E4 ad breaks were long! I have been watering my garden during them.

I didnt think there was much wrong with Anthony giving the dress and note to Nadia. If Simon had done it, everyone would be saying how amazing it was that he chose such a perfect dress for Alene, and he's a keeper because he was confident in himself to choose a dress and tell her to be glam.
I don't like him, but we're clearly only seeing the really bad side of him. Nadia said tonight "he was really complimentary- as always." Yet we havent really seen him being complimentary at all. She clearly sees some things that we havent been allowed to see

I hate to lower the tone, but which couples do you think are sleeping together? Obviously Sean and Susan , but not sure about the rest.

Shaz going and on about Nick and trust when she's the one who has cheated in the past.

Yes there are extra episodes in the Australian which shows the couples who decide to stay together and their lives as they begin their relationship properly. Then one reunion where they bring everyone back including the couples who left and even Lauren for a chat and video clips etc.

I love how everyone on this thread - like me - has forgotten about Vanessa and Andy.

@WhenCoronaWasALager - i think Jessie and Michelle must have done, she said she was "late" in one episode, I'm pretty sure! 😵

@ginandgingers92. Oh I hope not, that makes it even worse that she's about to bin him.

Praying to God Mondays episode is the one where Nadia grows some balls and tells AnThony to fuck right off. The whole buying an outfit is fine but expecting me to wear it and 'be glam' eeeerrrr no.

Felt a bit sorry for nick. The whole I've told you how I feel I deserve you to tell me the same and not muck me about. What is 'shazzas' big U-turn about (beyond production telling her to make some drama) is it literally over a dream she had?

If the experts tell me that one more action is “crucial” I’m going to.., well... continue watching probably, but most irately.

Last night was dull. Anthony’s ankles and boob comments were awful, but even they weren’t engaging enough. I’m going to be very sad if we don’t get to see the aftermath. I’m not sure what they can even put into next week’s episodes.

I’m confused... just confused... I just keep thinking I should know how I feel about it all by now, but my feelings are just all so confused. My hearts saying one thing, my gut says the same thing, and yet I’m still here. I just think you should listen to your gut and not force anything.

Thanks for the new thread. God, I’m so addicted to this show! 😂

Title on point 👌 Checking in!

Just the thought of having to sit in some woods with Anthony makes me shudder! Poor Nadia. I hope she finds the strength and common sense to put him straight on a few things on decision day!

I didnt think there was much wrong with Anthony giving the dress and note to Nadia. If Simon had done it, everyone would be saying how amazing it was that he chose such a perfect dress for Alene, and he's a keeper because he was confident in himself to choose a dress and tell her to be glam.
I don't like him, but we're clearly only seeing the really bad side of him.

Simon isn’t a controlling, critical, misogynistic, selfish, vain (need I go on) arsehole. Anthony is.
If Simon were to buy Alene a dress and say ‘be glam’ it would be to make HER feel good and special.
When Anthony does it, it’s all about control and what HE likes and wants.

Exactly @WhattheHhashappened

If someone had bought me a slinky dress and told me to look glam I’d expect to be going somewhere a bit more exciting - and, indeed, glam, than sitting under a tree being sang at by two very loud operatic people.

Sharon’s “bad dream” made her sound about 12.

@RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder so funny.

@WhattheHhashappened yeah, fair dos

I really don’t think Michelle and Jesse have been sleeping together and haven’t picked up in her being ‘late’

Yes she definitely did say “so much bullshit” and Anthony tried to murder her with his goggle eyes!

👀👀👀👀👀👀

It was a bit dull tonight. I'm already missing all the drama of Abandrew and Cheryl - anyone else got my back on that?

I thought exactly the same trains
