Sixy Tixting and Why I'm Still Single at Fifty: Rancid Trolls and Crappy Rapping, Skateboarding Sex Pests and Boys' Night Banter - How They Revived the Badger Badges Industry Worldwide . . .

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

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

I've just got to Melissa and Troy's conversation. The romantic music just about did me in!

This episode was as boring as hell!

I feel robbed on so many levels.

Me too, can’t even think of much to say about it....mind you have spent most it trying to locate and remove large house spider from bathroom so it hasn’t been my main focus of the evening 😳

I was just thinking to myself, "Did I just waste 1.5 hours on this rubbish??"

@GlummyMcGlummerson

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Ryan's latest Insta post please 🤤

He looks super happy. Plus it looks like he covered over DaviNA's mermaid head.

I am behind again 🙄

Perhaps I shouldn't bother watching

Fast-forwarded through most of it!

There are a few episodes where I just watched the “previously” summary at the beginning of the next episode and skipped the actual episode. It does get good again though.

It was shite

I thought the same. I think we've become desensitised thank to all the screaming matches at the dinner party!

I fast forwarded a fair bit during the final dates. Also a bit in the final vows, just wanted to see who said yes and who said no.

@Italiangreyhound, I will watch with you. When shall we start?

Re "Anyone else fancy watching Season 5 of the USA version with me?"

Fabulous. I started episode one 13 Sept, so today (Mon 15) I am up to Episode 3. I will not post any spoilers at all, only up to the episode I am up to. and so if you guys can get up to episode three today and watch one episode a day we will all be on same page!

Anyone else want to join us?

Thank you.

Bit surprised at Charlene and Patrick. It seems the intimacy spark is not there for her and I had thought they were getting on well. I knew she wanted someone more dynamic but now I realise she has been cold shouldering Patrick on the intimacy front. Definitely no hope for them now then. There has to be a spark at this stage. What a pity. Patrick is so nice too and I like Charlene. I quite enjoyed tonight's episode though I notice many of you thought it was boring. Thumbface was spot on when he countered attacked with a reference to Charlene about her relationship being problematic too! Glass houses and all that!

Well Charlene, I put my red lippy on(not really) and you ended up annoying me. You can’t stand up for women against sexism one minute then berate a man and tell him to ‘be a man’ the next. I’m confused so poor Pat must be quaking in his boots.

Also did anyone notice Troy at the lunch, go to put food in his mouth then look at Melissa and take it away again? So funny. We had to rewatch that few times. He is very strange.

Yes their relationship seems to be in trouble but it’s not because one of them is a lying, cheating thug.

How many lies did TF tell last night? Will they ever show Tracey the footage? Will she ever wake up and smell the coffee?

She can't smell anything for the stench of Thumbface's BS!

Yes, Patrick and Charlene are doomed because they’re imperfect as a couple, despite both being lovely people.

Thumbface and Tracey are doomed because TF is imperfect as a human, and Tracey’s self-esteem is in the gutter (you don’t have to tell people you’re a strong independent woman if you are one).

Charlene and Patrick will go on to form functional relationships.

Thumbface will struggle to be with anyone for long as he cannot see women as people. Eventually he will realise that his ultra-macho persona is there because he actually isn’t interested in women at all. He goes off them after they’ve slept with him, not because he doesn’t respect them, but because he’s seen them naked and he’s not really into that sort of thing.

Tracey will have a lot of therapy, put her face back as it was, and take some time to actually learn to like herself. She will then be happy.

All of this "I am a very forgiving person" rubbish Tracey comes out with.

By all means, forgive. Learn from the experience . Resist the temptation to cut the brake cables on his car. Put the whole sorry carry-on behind you and get on with your life with someone worth loving.

But DON"T go straight back into the same old round of cheating and lies. DON'T set yourself up to be knocked down again. DON'T allow him, or anyone else, to use and abuse you like this - it will destroy.

Forgiving isn't forgetting. It's stepping back from revenge (which just gives them space in your head!) and taking away their power to hurt you again. It's using the experience to learn valuable lesson.

You can't force someone else to change - but you can change your behaviour, so that they can't continue with theirs.

I wish that Tracey - Empowered Goddess that she's supposed to be - could see this.

Very wise words @SchadenfreudePersonified

Seconded. You're better than the ixperts and I agree with all of the above!

Thirded.

I go between feeling sorry for Tracey and getting annoyed with her for staying with the vile TF.

Cracking advice @SchadenfreudePersonified

I'd say you could be a MAFS "ixpert" but you have to give out shit advice for that.

Unless you are secretly harbouring tips on how to get sixy?
