Place marking ready for Tuesday when I can sit down and catch up

roboticaw · 09/08/2020 22:13

I watched series 4 on catch up. What's the deal here? Is it one episode a week for like 28 weeks? Or is the whole thing streamed/available straight away? Or like an episode a day?
( I don't think I would have the patience for one a week...)

Sertchgi123 · 09/08/2020 22:19

Thanks for the new thread 🦘🦘🦘@SchadenfreudePersonified

Egghead68 · 09/08/2020 22:54

BlogTheBlogger · 10/08/2020 00:21

Egghead - to misquote a famous song.... you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave muhahah 👿

TaxTheRatFarms · 10/08/2020 00:31

Place marking! I read the entire last two threads and was so glad to read the Abandrew and AnTHony hate. They were awful! I dread to think how bad season 5 will be, but I will be there for every horrible minute Grin

RozHuntleysStump · 10/08/2020 03:34

Thanks for making the thread. Can’t wait to watch later. Might buy some wine and dips!

If it was one a week there might be hope for us to avoid the madness Robot.

It's one a day - just enough to keep us addicted and desperate.

OK folks I have done a bit of due diligence, and our key numbers for Season 5 are:

11 couples from the start (up from Season 4’s 10 “weddings” plus Abandrew/Cheryl)

32 episodes (up from 29)

Promise not to do any spoilers, but I couldn't resist a little google pre-tonight and is Non-Polynesian John back for another go?! I think it is!Shock

LarkDescending · 10/08/2020 13:45

@Eaumyword - oooh yes! It looks like non-Polynesian John is back. Will he manage not to unseat his bride on their wedding day this time?

Maybe after three years of soul searching , psychotherapy and image burnishing we could see Abandrew and Spooney back for another attempt . I know they allow it on FIRST DATES ( not that I’ve seen that many 😌 but I’ve been told ) .
RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder · 10/08/2020 13:59

Just because I’m here, doesn’t mean I’m watching anything. Honest.

Eleven couples! Bloody hell!

Okay, I haven’t looked up anything but I predict:-

There will be one guy, Davo*, who calls himself an entrepreneur because he sells stuff on eBay based on his hobby. He’s really propped up by loans from his mum. He spends two hours a day in the gym and has the conversation of a hermit crab, but wants a woman who can spend twenty four hours a day worshipping him, and still manage to have a sculpted body despite being too busy worshipping to go to the gym. He doesn’t care too much about personalities.

He will be paired with Jeanie, based on his ‘desperate need to be cared for’. The experts will say they’ve chosen her because she works in a care home, and has infinite patience. But they’ve really picked her based on her low self esteem and willingness to put up with huge amounts of shit. It will end when he catches her eating a mars bar.

Then there will be the stunningly beautiful woman paired with the average man. You’ll struggle to work out which couple this prediction applies to, because it applies to nine out of the eleven couples.

All Pamela wants is a German Lumberjack, only to be presented with Alf from Queensland who has all his own teeth and no other redeeming features. She’ll turn up to the wedding in lederhosen and be utterly confused by everything at every turn.

Then of course there’ll be Troy who cannot pass by a mirror without pouting. He doesn’t know why women aren’t interested in him, as he couldn’t be more into himself. He will be paired with Annie who at first glance thinks he’s quite the looker, but soon realises that when he gazes into her eyes, it’s only to look at his own reflection.

There’ll be a much older couple. Johnno wants a woman to cook and clean for him. Suzie takes no shit and really just wants to get laid. He ends up cleaning and cooking for her.

Beckie loves the outdoors, she’s a mountain climber and spends her weekends hanging from cliff faces. Oli loves video games and hanging out in bars. They have been paired on the basis that they both said in their interviews that they really like the colour orange. The experts think she will bring him out of his bubble.

No one will have anyone’s backs. Everyone will bag each other out. The journeys will be short and bumpy.

That’s enough for now Grin

*names may be wrong

RinderTinderNotRinderGrinder · 10/08/2020 14:03

If John is back then he will be paired with a dumpy lady called Alexandra whose first husband died in unexplained circumstances. She seems like she has a heart of gold, but will soon reveal that she is the evil stepmother in fleabag (Olivia Coleman), and everything she says seems adorable until you examine the content and realise she is a malicious witch.

AnneOfQueenSables · 10/08/2020 14:06

I found the door to the thread! Hurrah! I'm one up on Michelle ... but I'm also channelling part of Susan because despite being keen and enthusiastic and absolutely in love with all your comments through the previous thread, now it's reached the commitment ceremony for season 2, I'm unsure if I can commit. MAFS is definitely the equivalent of a remote farm full of spiders and decorated with ground pasta. But you wonderful posters are the stardust that turns it into glossy, Southfork ranch Grin
What to do?

It’s the thread that makes it all worthwhile. If only Jesse had found this thread he’d have his door.

In honour of finding the door, I've decided on a new name - twirls like Nadia in that tiny dress-shop Wink
