Thumbface and the Numbfaces - Have you sneak-peeked? "Just the one, I can resist, I am strong.” NO! DON'T LOOK, ETHEL! Too late . . . 10 hours later your eyelids are begging for mercy

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Thanks to MissMarplesHandbag for the "Just the one . . . "inspiration for the thread title, and to whichever wonderful soul suggested "The Numbfaces" as a description for his harem.

I’ve read that Tracey’s daughter lives with her dad and she is ‘the cool mum that gets to hang around with her in the holidays’
That, her excessive surgery and wanting to keep making things work with Dean make me think she is so beyond insecure she probably shouldn’t be on that show.
Unfortunately women like her are what makes the ‘experts’ sit around rubbing their hands together for some great tv.

My guess is that Nasser is feeling colossal guilt at the fact that he is stringing Gabi along (I suspect he is uncomfortably gay and was hoping that this process might somehow turn him or ‘cure’ him) so was very relieved to be able to have a pop at Dean and deflect attention from himself.

I agree that Nasser is speaking out because of the favourable portrayal of Sean and Simon’s actions last series.

There's something not-quite-right about the dynamic between Nasser and Gabriella.

He's very complimentary, praises her constantly, affectionate, lots of kisses and hugs - but she seems as though she's unmoved by it a lot of the time. I'd love to know what's going on with them.

Plus - didn't he say that he didn't rule out their relationship becoming sexual very soon? (Or words to that effect?) I thought that ship had long sailed! I'm sure that he had already mentioned that they had DTD, because I can remember thinking that it wasn't very gentlemanly to share that information.

I have no idea where I am with Nasser - not a clue! But I don't trust him, somehow.

Yes he made a big deal out of the word "sex" didnt he, said he didnt like the word and that they had "made lurrrvvve"

John's stupid laugh is like a rapid fire shotgun and would go straight through me.

If I may borrow a Fawlty Towers analogy - like somebody machine gunning a seal . . .

Yes what an episode. Scheming DaviNA playing the victim, Thumbface twisting the truth and Tracey binning the last shreds of self-respect.

Thankfully I have refrained from jumping ahead any more, but for seven201 and another PP, here is the link.

A few comments last night were odd.
I thought Sarah and Telv were really smitten, but some comments suggested they weren't really.
Charlene talking about sex - i don't understand what has happened here?? Is she saying she likes him and has put up a wall? Or is she saying she does want sex but he doesn't? I didnt get what was going on.
But again, all we see of them is smiling and affection.
And Gab saying she was taken to an acting class. Why didn't we see any of that?!

Lastly, they cannot possibly be together 24/7 - they would all know so much more about each other than they seem to.

Damn you, looking - putting temptation within my grasp!

I haven't watched any episodes, but I've read the brief (anonymous) descriptions of each and it looks THRILLING!

I thought Sarah and Telv were smitten too (the most smitten of all the couples).

I don’t really have a ball handle in Charlene’s relationship.

I think they are together with 24/7. I also read they have limited access to the other couples during the week apart from at official events (so all the talking/kicking off happens there).

Agreed. Something isn’t quite right. I think he probably is Bi and perhaps prefers men, but has decided he wants to settle down and have a traditional life.

The redeeming feature for me is his lovely friends. He must be lovely because they are lovely. I just don’t know that he really understands who Gabrielle is as a person.

Also am I the only one struggling with how John talks? His teeth are constantly gritted. It’s irritating me more and more.

Oh yes! John would drive me crazy! His laugh is awful. Also, at his first wedding, he kept sticking his tongue out 😫

@SpanishFly Yes, they did show Gab and Nasser at a class. They were doing the usual school drama exercises!

Ah ok, thanks - I'm obviously drifting off when I watch...

I remember seeing Gab and Nasser’s acting class . It wasn’t very long so you may have missed it . Unless of course I imagined it . Does anyone else remember seeing it ?

Oops ! Raspberry’s post must have appeared whilst I was typing . I’m VERY slow .

I saw Gab and Nassers acting class too. It was only on briefly.

Gab and Nasser has sex on honeymoon but nothing since. I find that a really odd way round.

Tracey needs to read that Why Men love Bitches book, as she has absolutely no dignity at this point!

I have been watching both these series with my 14 yr old DD and lurking on these threads, which are AMAZING. I have to say that MAFS has been a great tool to teach my daughter about, men and relationships and what not to do! We watch it lunchtime the day after it is shown.

We were both boiling with rage at Dean, he told outright lie after lie when challenged and lay it all at DaviNO’s door. As if he was a poor man tempted by some wicked siren. Poor Ryan was given no right of reply and Tracey needs help, a lot of serious help...

Long time lurker of these threads here. I've given in.

I can't help but wonder if the producers offered Tracey double the $200 per day to stay on. After all this is the love triangle that everyone is glued to!

Ryan looked so hurt. Bet he has a lot of anger he is keeping locked inside.

Poor Jo could have really flourished with a husband who was even half more pleasant and respectful than grumpy, boring Sean.

I don't think Justin knows how to be in a relationship.

Can't wait to see Patrick's mother reacting to Charlene tonight. Really hope she doesn't split them up.

Oh my god that Dean is a complete and utter shithead, totally blaming Davina, I can't stand her but come on he did say all those things to her, and poor Ryan looking like a right mug and not even given a chance to leave.

Tracey has no self respect whatsoever, she's an idiot, she needs to wake up and smell the bullshit pretty damn quick.

I still can't get a handle on Nasser, not sure about him at all.

Justin doesn't seem to realize why he is there

I'm glad Jo had a go at the "experts" they were completely mismatched, I hope she finds someone who is worthy of her.

Sean and Blair weren't given much airtime but I thought he was the only one who looked completely shocked about Dean and Davina, he looked genuinely upset.

So now they all move in with each others families, I did not know that happened, this just gets better and better

Yes, @ellenanora5, poor poor 39 year old DeaNO was thoroughly bewitched and tricked by the evil 26 year old DaviNO. I don’t think so.

It’s really nice to see what actually happened and how each side spun it. Clear lies that can sound so believable except for the fact that it was recorded.

They must truly believe their own lies. Their self-image must be so strong and righteous that they are utterly convinced by what they are saying.

And that’s today’s pop-psychobabble. Oh how I’ve missed it. Life keeps getting in the way of the important things (ie this thread)

I remember seeing Gab and Nasser’s acting class . It wasn’t very long so you may have missed it . Unless of course I imagined it . confused
Does anyone else remember seeing it ?

I saw it - weren't they doing that "shadowing" or whatever it's called? Where they mirror each other's actions?

Or did I imagine that?

Yes, they were. And he was making her grab her boobs, which wasn’t impressive

i think they are moving into the GROOM's houses, not the family houses. And spend time with family (if they are near) and grooms friends.
i mean some of the older chaps may not have parents around (John/Nasser)

Oh no, that means Tracey will be gaslit by more than just DeaNO. She’s screwed
