Hey Cobbers, hop on over to here, Second thread for 2021 - Married at first sight Australia, season 6 E4 - No spoilers, at all!! Me old mate and it's all fair dinkum!

My walls are down and I have your back.

I'm actually stoked!

Please no real Australians correct my spelling or grammar!

Please can we keep it spoiler free - if you watched it on line or elsewhere, please do not mention anything that has not been shown on the E4 current running of the show.

So trailers for the next episode, fine if shown on E4, but anything you have spied else where - keep it super quiet!

Thank you.

The ixperts gaslighting of Heidi is actually really upsetting. The problem with Heidi and Mike is that basically she is way out of his league in every way - intelligence, decency personal integrity etc. The only thing they have is sexual attraction. I would put money that Heidi had an abusive parent which is why she doubts herself. The ixperts cutting her down to size does not alter that she is basically way too smart to ever be compatible with a nunderhead like Mike.

LucyLane · 05/02/2021 07:51

Agree @GoldieHelen. It's horrible to watch the ixperts trying to grind Heidi down, to make her deny who she is in order to please Mike. She is being gradually conditioned to deny her legitimate needs in a relationship. How can this be allowed to happen? How can the ixperts do something so damaging?
It was evident Heidi and Mike only ever had great sex and no other connection, when Mike told her on the beach that he wasn't her psychiatrist when she tried to tell him about some painful stuff from her past. We saw back then that he just wasn't interested in her as a person. But those so called experts are very damaging.

Bettina500 · 05/02/2021 09:37

It's mainly Pob who's tearing into Heidi. I was shocked a couple of ceremonies ago when he had a right go at her for 'sabotaging' the marriage. Yet he's sat back and said nothing or little about the awful behaviour of some of the others. I don't remember him saying much to Ines for example. What's his problem with Heidi?

Silenceisgolden20 · 05/02/2021 09:39

Hmmmm the thing with Heidi last time is that I think John was way too harsh on her compared to other contestants but what did Mike actually do? He spoke briefly to Jess before he was 'allowed to'
I do get where Heidi is coming from and it's triggered some hurt deep in her but she was treating Mike like a child in that scenario. Mike was put on the spot and felt awkward. It was his awkwardness around the situation where he messed up. Not trying to deliberately hurt her.

If a man had behaved like Heidi and said you can't talk to this person because we agreed, it would seem very controlling.

Silenceisgolden20 · 05/02/2021 09:41

John is def confronting some contestants more than others. Look how Sam behaved? And Jess coming onto 2 different men the same night

Silenceisgolden completely agree, I find Heidi very annoying and controlling. If she wanted to leave she could. I do think she is sabotaging the relationship

Mike is not very nice and very sexist but basically I spoke briefly to another guest and she went off the deep end

"Mike and Dan think Billy is a victim. Job done." He is s victim. Susie is vile.

I don't normally take the men's side but Susie is awful.

I think Billy needs to get out of there.

"I agree that there is something very odd about Billy. The sweetener thing was bizarre. And he was infuriating as he didnt get the issue was his lies rather than surfing or sweeteners..."

We don't know the sweeteners thing was a lie. He said his room mate used them. He lied about the surfing.vehar"s he meant to say at the dinner party 'all's well.' that would be a lie. But the truth, Susie is s total bitch and I can't wait to leave.... That might also get him into trouble.

@JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn

I cannot believe that the ixperts are blaming Heidi!

Mike is so controlling... all his shit about I might fall in love with you! If you don't feel it, don't say it. But don't dangle it!! Heidi is absolutely right to be put off by that comment.
Who wouldn't?

Maybe he feels it but he's scared. He doesn't seem that clued up on how to talk to women.
Branleuse · 05/02/2021 10:22

i think that was an overreaction from heidi about his awkward phrasing, as he was trying to be nice, but tbh, I think shes just seen too many red flags from him now and is alert to them and checking out of the relationship. It never properly recovered from the "im not your therapist" .
I think Heidi has been through something big and this sort of superficial guy just isnt what she needs, even if he is pretty

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 05/02/2021 10:47

You could be right there branleuse

But if Heidi has been through something so big which has damaged her like that, then how did she get through the contestant screening? Ah. Wait. Good tv.

It worries me that this series there seems to be people with complex ishoos being exploited in the name of love of all things.

And that some are being scripted or edited so badly so they come across terribly, it is hugely unfair.

I wish the producers would see we don’t need the ‘manufactured’ dramas.

Rather than having it be spread over 30-40 odd episodes, do a shorter series - life is dramatic and interesting enough. Just not constantly.

And match people who want similar things from life. With similar values. Not those who are the complete opposite or someone’s idea of hell.

When Suzie and Jess were talking across the table I realised where I'd seen those lips before

I think the lips etc and nose jobs make Jess and Martha look very similar. Just a light and dark haired version of each other. I don't know if Jess has had a nose job or not but they look similar.

Yes , it kinda went wrong for them when Mike didn't acknowledge her past.

Branleuse · 05/02/2021 12:12

I dont think its scripted, but i do think they are encouraging drama behind the scenes. Last series they had the Davina and Dean drama, but the series before I dont remember there being much drama at all, no cheating and no pressuring anyone for sex, and it was still a good series. I think some of this is going a bit OTT now and they are running the risk of ruining the whole show

happinessischocolate · 05/02/2021 12:19

@Silenceisgolden20

I agree but Heidi did start deep conversations very quickly, yes they've just got married but telling a bloke you've known less than a week all about your past is a bit much.

They really are total opposites in terms of how deep they like their conversations.

I don't think Mikes abusive or controlling, I think he's just a novice at relationships, never needed or wanted a proper relationship before and now doesn't know where to start. Unlike Mark who was saying he's never had to consider anyone before, but seems to be doing a great job of his relationship and said he has learnt so much about himself.

Silenceisgolden20 · 05/02/2021 12:38

That's what I mean, he doesn't seem to know how to talk to women and be a bit more sensitive. It was full on and maybe she was testing him to see what he would react with.
Ning and Mark seem to be growing a lot more because they are having patience with each other after their big argument. Heidi doesn't have any patience with Mike because he's not immediately behaving how she wants.

Benjispruce2 · 05/02/2021 13:15

I think it was the “I could TRY” to fall in love comment which he later referred to a “I think I could fall in love with you.” The former makes it sound like he’d have to put effort in and that is why Heidi balked. I’d have felt the same tbh.

Benjispruce2 · 05/02/2021 13:17

Clumsy wording most probably but he didn’t seem to realise what he’d said. Even my DH laughed out loud when he said that and he’s not the most romantic guy.

RuggeryBuggery · 05/02/2021 13:29

I felt a bit sorry for Mike and he seemed genuinely flummoxed and surprised that he’d said the wrong thing.
She’s very unforgiving and he’s grown on me.

Mick... I think he could have been more apologetic when he saw how much he apparently upset her but I suspect he thought she was putting it on and he may well be right!

Silenceisgolden20 · 05/02/2021 13:43

Micks house was disgusting Shock
