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!)

What was everyone's fave moment from the series? Mine was when Alene brought in Simon after his haircut to show the others and he walked in with a fake swagger and they were both making heart eyes with each other and then left early ;)

Closely followed by my second fave moment: "slooooovakia!"

What was Slooovakia??

"Slovakia" was a very drunken story that jesse told about he would fake his death by stealing teeth from a corpse.

As a result he's like the Fox and the Sour Grapes - pretending he doesn't want her, but because he's so controlling he couldn't let her be the one to make the decision - ego wouldn't let him.

Definitely!!

‘ After several failed attempts to reach the grapes, the fox realises he'll never have them, and walks away.
In an attempt to save his reputation and cure his smarting ego, the fox says the grapes were sour anyway, so he never really wanted them.’

Now it’s over has anyone googled to see whether the couples are Still together? I was naively surprised by What I found out!

@Dontsayyouloveme we've all googled

None of them are still together.

They didn't go through doors or have each other's backs after all that!

Hope Jesse isn’t still stuck on the wrong side of his door! I wonder if he’s a minor celeb in the market nowadays, married to the girl from the next stall?

I tried to google whether Anthony had found anyone else, but could only find racing things to do with him.

I’m looking forward to the new series tomorrow. Should someone start a new thread for the new series?

Finally caught up. Had to.avoid this thread since Monday. It's been quite the journey 🤣🤣

I had a Google and Instagram and despite being the big media star Spoonhead doesn't have the blue tick on Instagram like alot of the other 'contestants'. And I think due to the media backlash his account is also set to private. 🤣🤣 Very telling.

Bit disappointed in the reunion show we didn't hear from Lauren. And I know others might have found them dull but Andy and Vanessa. But that might just be because I have a soft spot for Andy. Vanessa just needed to shut the f*CK up and maybe he'd have a chance at communicating with her.

Anyway. I've talked DH into another series. Just to see how crazy it gets. In fact we were researching the 'experts' and the Phil Dunphey of the three (who was also an ex cricketer. Left handed batsman so obviously ideal as a relationship expert despite his 'training') has said he might not return after some bat shit disgusting behaviour between one of the couple's in a future series

Please do. I think I might be watching from behind the sofa!

Just watched the reunion episodes. I'm so glad the experts made Anthony and Andrew squirm. There weren't too many apologies flying around though...

Yes If anyone does, link it here... I said I wasn’t going to watch but... I know I will

You know you want to!

I really wanted the experts to ask Anthony why he said one thing at the last ceremony and then dumped Nadia the next day. I guess we know but I would have liked to see him put on the spot.

I tried to google whether Anthony had found anyone else, but could only find racing things to do with him

I found the same.

It seems that `'horsies" are a jealous mistress and that the "horsey" life involves the sacrifice of all personal desires for the greater good - much like being an anchorite, but with microphones.

Aye, aye Cap'n!

Bollox!

Can't even get a title right!

I'm not drunk enough!

You on the Pinot, Schaden?!
As a former horsey person, I can confirm that every waking hour and every last penny is spent on them! It's an expensive hobby and a lifestyle you immerse yourself into. Your weekends are spent up at 4am plaiting up for shows and your evenings are spent mucking out, feeding and hacking out.
Don't do it any more, I'd frankly need a Clydesdale and would need to be lifted on, Henry VIII style.
Much as I disliked Anthony, he is sort of right in that competing horsey people are beyond obsessed and I bet farming horsey people are even more so.

Would anyone mind by the way explaining the relevance of a blue tick to an Instagram account as someone mentioned upthread? Sorry, I'm a tech dino!

Yep I wouldn’t have married anyone who wasn’t horsey. I even bought my husband a horse as a wedding present!

To be fair, Nadia and Anthony has absolutely no charisma at all. They didn’t even snog after their commitment ceremony. I think I’d have said enough after that!

Honeyroar, that's so romantic, you can ride off into the sunset together and do the Kenny G cowboy lit candle sex thing.
Do you compete? I used to do showing and working hunter classes.
Did anyone think twin Michelle looked very tired and sad at the reunion by the way? Still very attractive and glam of course, but she looked like might have been crying?

I'm horsey. Dh is not.

He doesn't want to watch series 5.

I should LTB. Anthony was right. We shouldn't be together
