I’m going to get absolutely NO work done for weeks! 😂

Does any one know if MAFS Australia has done a same - sex couple ? I know STRICTLY are considering it .

No but that would be fab!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 14:27

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.

Please, please let this be Rinder's spot on prediction . . .

Same sex couples would be great - all welcome!

SusansSassySidePony · 10/08/2020 14:32

Not to blow my secret identity but my two posts were supposed to be together. Rinder managed to sneak in between!

Only if there was lots of drama, screaming, pouting and weeping Happened.

The only gay couple I know are very bloke-y blokes. Don't even wear eyeliner.

They are a great disappointment to me - I have always had ambitions to be a fag hag, and they have destroyed my dream.

OHMIGAWD! I had a DREEEEEAAAAAAAAM! Shock Shock Shock

Eek! I’m away at the moment and hasn’t realised there was a new series. I’ll have banked a good few episodes to binge when I get back.

Place marking for now and vowing not to read any further in case of spoilers. Who am I kidding?

A-Ha!

Your secret is safe with me . . .

However we forgive Rinder anything because she is eerily prescient with her predictions.

Even when she rudely shoves in between posts. 'Tis her Artistic Temperament. We cannot judge her by ordinary standards.

Indeed, when the muse strikes Rinder has to write ... just like Jesse although unfortunately his muse was a door Grin

One more prediction:-
(In John Aiken’s voice) “In an Australian Married at First Sight first, we have a same sex couple! We’ve paired Nicko and Micko together because they are both men who fancy other men. I’ve done my research and it shows that they will both definitely like each other based on the fact they are both men. Nicko is a bullfighter raised by wolves and Micko is a city banker raised in Dubai. We’re really excited about this couple, because they are both men, and that’s really exciting.”

I’m not raising my hopes though.

1984andout · 10/08/2020 15:14

Yes there was a same sex couple! It was fabulous.

Drama at the wedding and everything. Have a look for previous season 3

1984andout · 10/08/2020 15:19

Oh not so fabulous for the participants Sad. Another PTSD patient.

So much PTSD - lucky they have such a crop of psychological experts on hand!

Somewhere along the way I happened upon a gossipy piece saying that the MAFS Oz “experts” asked for a pay rise as ratings soared, but were slapped down by the producers on the basis that (paraphrased) they brought hardly any expertise to the format and frankly anyone could do it Grin

I really do pity all participants who go into this for any reason other than to become famous. It’s not a social experiment, it’s a tv drama.

We could put in a double application! I reckon these days we could probably work remotely Grin
SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 16:08

We will be an unbeatable team Rinder

I reckon we could even be open with the audience and that would increase viewing figures.

Schaden: What do you think Rinder? Should we tell her he said X about her, and nudge her towards pouring tomato ketchup into his underpants?

Rinder: We should be even more ambitious Schaden - we could get her to pour tomato ketchup into his underpants ^while he is still wearing them at they "Boys' Night Booze Up".

Then we high five each other.

In fact - we could even set up a viewers' interactive hotline so that our audience could offer suggestion on who they wanted things to happen to, and what horrible humiliating thing could be engineered next!

Ratings ZOOOM up!

If you're both successful in your applications can I be responsible for sourcing farmers who live on vast, glamorous ranches rather than Deliverance steadings? I had a colleague with a posh farm and I rode a horse on a beach once so am obviously qualified. 🐎

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 16:10

Aaaand - in view of the fact that you can read the future, we can market you as Mystic Rinder, and we can clean up on telling fortunes, too (I've got me Tarot cards, and they are all bad ones . . . )

OP posts:
SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2020 16:13

Yes, SIdePony - we need your expertise, and anyone who knows someone with a posh farm is ok in my book.

(Was it really a horse on the beach? Not a donkey? Remember, Rinder and I are experts - we can tell if you're fibbing by your micro expressions"

OP posts:
Susanssassysidepony · 10/08/2020 16:16

It was an Irish horse ... or was it the beach that was Irish? If only Sean was available to advise, he'd know.

LarkDescending · 10/08/2020 16:59

Can I be responsible for scouring the Polynesian Islands for eligible bachelors? I have hazy memories of a highly unsuitable subtropical holiday romance in my youth🍹 ☀️ 🏖
