Married at first sight series 5

[NancyBotwinBloom]

Apologies if there is already a thread on this. I've just looked and couldn't see one but I am on the app so I am not sure if it shows all threads.

Anyway, just sat down to watch it and I can't wait!

Did anyone watch it last night?

I did, my first ever episode @NancyBotwinBloom

Some hopes for couple 1, both nice people. Not convinced that couple 2 will last through the reception. He is just not polished enough for her.

I had high hopes for couple 1 until they showed a snippet of him not sure if she was interested in him or the scenario itself.
Couple 2 seemed really mismatched.
I love this programme
I kept wondering if they had agreed colour schemes and stuff through the team. I would not have been happy with the burgundy waistcoat,

I think they all have to go through lockdown together so it will be interesting to see if they enjoy it.

I wasn’t 100% keen on Michelle, the primary school teacher, I thought she spoke to her mum like shit a couple of times, every time her mum ventured an opinion (eg ‘you look happy’), Michelle would respond quite snappily and in a challenging tone (‘yes that’s because I AM happy’). She seemed a bit cold and bossy. Owen was lovely, what an amazing person to volunteer at a children’s hospice. His mum seemed lovely too.

I can tell I’m getting old as I have more empathy with the poor families being dragged along than the betrothed themselves 😆

Shareen and David I thought would be a good match, with their mutual love of the great outdoors and dogs. I thought he wasn’t bad looking for 50-something too! I’ve seen some right goblins out there. She sounded pissed off in next week’s promos, so I guess she doesn’t agree 😂

I’ve been spoilt by the god-awful MaFS Australia series being on every night, can’t believe I’ve got to wait a whole week for a new episode!

Just found this on my planner as it was on series link! Had forgotten it was back. Way prefer the uk one to the reality show-ness of the other countries versions (but I still watch them!!). It's usually so short in the uk though. Anyone know how many episodes there will be this year?

I think six maybe

Hope so. They've only been about 4 episodes before and it's not enough! 6 would be about right. Don't want the drawn out 30 episodes Australian version or anything - just a bit more once I'm invested!

@WorryWartOne. You don't need to wait a week! Hadn't seen any of MAFS series before but thoroughly enjoyed it. I've binge watched the current series on All 4 today. There's 4 episodes. Would love to discuss but don't want to do spoilers.

@Winniewonka I watched episode 2 on demand last night!

Yep I was surprised to see all episode were uploaded to 4od so have binged watched them all. Apparently there was supposed to be 4 couples but their weddings were after March 23rd so it couldnt go ahead.

Really enjoyed it though! Agree the editing makes it look like either they're getting on really well or not getting on at all. But wont say anymore as dont want to spoil it for everyone else.

David was gorgeous !!

Ooh can we talk about the whole thing on here if people have binged it like me?!

I can only find the previous series on 4od

I'm going to binge watch it with a wine and the DH tonight I didn't realise it was all on!

That's my night sorted.

@icelollycraving it's on All4, I watched episode 2 last night so thanks for the tip @Winniewonka 😊

I think I'll watch the other two episodes this weekend so happy to chat spoilers then if anyone else is!

Weirdly it’s not on my all4.

It's not on mine either, but the previous 4-episode series is.

I still haven't finished the first episode.

I'm binge watching it tomorrow whilst my DH is building in the garden as I've been told to get out the way.

Fucking gladly, it's going to rain and I can lie on the bed watching telly feeling no guilt at all

I've watched the lot and I'm off to the spoilers thread... see you there!

Just out the second one on and David is doing his speech.

My daughter just said "he's just reading out the song off twilight" he was aswell!!

Aw I hope David and that lady work out. They both seem nice.

I love this programme - I always really want them to work out but they never do!

Couple one, I don’t think they’re going to go the distance. Also amazed that she’s doing the show as a teacher - I am one and would not lay my life bare for everyone to see like that (including hinting they were going to sleep together on the wedding night) and still face my classes the morning after the show! Also her sister needs to back off!

Couple two I quite like - both seem to have their heads screwed on having seen a bit of life. And I, too, love a man with a camper van and a dog!

Shireen hasn't stopped going on about that bag what David gave her. He looks truly astounded at what she's saying .

David seems so so lovely.

I think I quite fancy him
