This is, obviously, the proposed title for my thesis in support of my Diploma in Expertness . . .

Davina made herself look like a right idiot. Towards the end the camera caught her with her mouth open looking very moronic.

I cannot really understand Ashley being upset. Except I think she hoped Troy would be pining for her. And he wasn't. If Carley had been meeting up with Ashley and kept the fact she was with Troy secret, or if Troy had been meeting up with Ashley and kept it quiet, I would understated.

But it sounds like after the show Ashley stopped having contact with Troy and Carley. After all she didn't want Troy romantically. And it sounds like the 'friendship' stopped.

I cannot work out what is happening with Dean and Tracey and Sean?

WitchesNStuff · 22/09/2020 06:36

Sertchgi123 i totally agree she overacted regardless of whether they should have given her the heads up. As irritating as Troy was, she was really unpleasant to him throughout the experiment IMO.

From the article linked upthread : Marketing consultant Tracey Jewel, 34, also faced some drama in her own relationship with 39-year-old millionaire Dean

Is Dean a millionaire? Or have they confused him with Justin?

AltheaThoon · 22/09/2020 06:41

I did laugh watching last night when DaviNO referred to Sean as Ellen DeGeneres Grin

I see he's written a book about his experience on MAFS. I can't see that being a best seller somehow...

HumousWhereTheHeartIs · 22/09/2020 06:46

Last night's episode left me open mouthed. What?

There are pictures of Troy and Ashley out as friends after the experiment e.g.

Urgh!

I thought she'd have more self-respect.

Of course, Nasser could have destroyed her confidence.

She's such a beautiful, sweet-natured woman, and he is a very miserable, rude, unkind man. He was so cruel to Jo. I couldn't be with a man who treated someone like that, even if he acted like a prince towards me.

Because I would have had a glimpse into his soul - and didn't like it.

Those of you who promised a shocker of an episode tonight; you didn't disappoint! Wowsers. I'm not buying Tracey and Sean. There's something off there. I still keep expecting them to reveal that Sean was born female.

Same here!

I wondered that - I think they made a mistake. Im sure the show would have made a big fuss about his millionaire status - same as they did with the Cornetto King

Egghead 😂 I mean, I'd probably read it too. But I think there are other people from the show whose books would be more popular. He seemed a bit of a bore on the show, but maybe he and Blaire were edited out for unfair reasons. I don't know why they never featured heavily.

Egghead68 · 22/09/2020 08:19

@AltheaThoon don’t bother with the book!

Apparently (according to said book) young Sean broke the rules by doing things like discussing ex-contestants who were mutual friends at the dinner parties. The producers got really cross with him and said “we don’t want you here”. Then they forced him and Blair to leave. I suspect they couldn’t find a storyline for them.

Which all feeds into the whole "it's all contrived" theory. Sounds like he's a bit of a gossip. He's a strange one. He clearly has some issues. I struggle to believe he ever managed to sleep with 200 women. He has absolutely no charisma or sex appeal as far as I can tell. Maybe he paid them 🤔

Verdita73 · 22/09/2020 09:06

They are all ( or most ) busy swapping partners now .
The experts seem to be excited by it all .
Not once have they queried their own non-expertise/science at placing some couples together .
Are they not invested in their own profession ? Seems not .Confused

Egghead68 · 22/09/2020 09:13

Maybe they would say that they are just interested in watching the outcome of the “experiment” no matter what that might be?

Thecobwebsarewinning · 22/09/2020 09:42

I’ve read Sean’s book. It was shite. An awful lot of regurgitated and misunderstood psychology and maybe 2/3 thousand words about MAFS. He comes across as a troubled and deluded soul.

Frazzled2207 · 22/09/2020 09:49

just catching up now. Wowsers.

I really can't get my head round wtf is going on with Dean, Tracey and especially Sean. I really hope it comes out tonight or I'll be left wondering indefinitely. For all his faults I think Dean came across the best and most honest last night - probably very aware that he came across a right tosser (at least twice) earlier in the series, unlike Davina who has zero self-awareness. Am really pleased Dean didn't go after Davina, what a nasty piece of work. He's not very nice but she really is VILE.

Whereas Ashley is not coming across that well generally as she is in a sulk in almost every scene, I do think it was off that Troy and Carly did not let them know. Troy seemed to care for her quite a bit so it seems odd that apparently he had not even texted her in 6 weeks. But I presume she didn't text him either.

Troy and Carly acting like lovestruck teenagers was gross and unnecessary tbh. I presume the producers egged them on.

Weird that there was not attention last night AT ALL to the three "successful" couples. All about the drama, quite deliberately. But it would have been a very boring episode without the drama which makes you think how much of it was faked. Maybe they paid Sean to turn up in that ridiculous gold suit and snog Tracey and have a go at Dean. Who knows!

Poor Matt, Alycia and Blair didn't have much to do. I guess they're not controversial enough.

bibliomania · 22/09/2020 10:20

I sympathise with Ash for being blindsided by Troy and Carly. I think if she'd been told in advance she'd have reached a point of being okay with it, but it's like they changed the scene in a play without telling one of the actors. Of course you'd be a bit thrown.

I think Tracey is delighting in stirring up tensions between Dean and Sean. It's her revenge for nobody saying they wanted her at the "boy's" dinner party. Now she has two men fighting over her and she feels gratified.

I reckon Davina has been told by the producers to ham up being the bad guy. It feels very scripted.

Fannybawz · 22/09/2020 10:49

Absolutely... her soliloquies to camera ... nah. Definitely scripted

Honeyroar · 22/09/2020 11:03

I read somewhere that Tracey and Dean we’re together for five months after the show. But the entrance and shocking everyone was definitely scripted. I bet they told Trot and Carly not to say anything to Ashley too. So they got another of her head wobbling strops!

Frazzled2207 · 22/09/2020 11:11

do you mean Tracey and Sean?

AltheaThoon · 22/09/2020 11:16

This is also concerning from the link shared upthread " Sarah Roza and Telv Williams stayed together for months after the show, but things soon turned sour and they later appeared in court after each taking out an Apprehended Violence Order. " Sound like there was some domestic abuse within their relationship?

ellenanora5 · 22/09/2020 11:21

Bloody hell, Sean and Tracey!! I'm not buying that for one minute, no way, he has serious issues and she is still way into Dean, I think it's all made up.

Ashley did overreact, she should have smiled and kept quite and let on it didn't bother her, she'd have come across much better, she never wanted Troy so can't see why she is bothered, having said that I do think they should have let her know.

I'm so pleased for Justin that after going on a show to find love.... he found ways that he could help his business Confused bet the experts are thrilled with that result Grin

So is Gabby with Sean now, I can kind of see it to be honest, she's so different to Jo and the kind of person I think Sean was looking for.

I wonder what Jo told her children about the whole thing, she had them at the wedding which I thought was strange in the first place, and then she would have to explain to them that it was all a waste of time.

Words fail me when it comes to Davina.

I wished we'd heard more from John and Melissa, Sarah and Telv and Charlene and Patrick, but they barely featured.

Frazzled2207 · 22/09/2020 11:25

@AltheaThoon
I know I was surprised by that as they seemed like nice people. I suspected Telv might eventually tire of Sarah but seems very odd that there was some violence. Suspect we'll never found out what happened there.

Sertchgi123 · 22/09/2020 11:58

@Honeyroar

Trot yes very childish of me, I know

Honeyroar · 22/09/2020 13:05

@Frazzled2207 yes I meant Tracey and Sean!

🤣 at Trot! It suits him, he’d fit in well with the horsey bunch!
