MAFSUK - come gather ye knackers wherever you are

Will this do your maj?

I fancied Mike. Did you know his shaved head is in fact tattooed to look shaved?

I liked Mick, the farmer, who got stuck with god awful Jessica (Jessika?)
The man had the patience of a saint 😂

Mick was so badly matched with her. Think she’s had a bit of work now, beauty is only skin deep, she was bloody awful.

Who was the chap who looked like Simon Rattle? Actually his name might actually have been Simon! It was heartbreaking that they couldn’t make it work.

@Blossomtoes

Strange how we can see things differently, isn’t it? I thought he adored Heidi and was very patient with her.

Ditto!

What now?

Simon and Alene were great, as were Susan and Shaun. In MAFSA they kept putting people together who lived 10 hours apart, with predictable results. It wasn't even dramatic telly, seeing 2 adults sadly realise they liked each other a lot but couldn't just move their entire lives that far.

I thought Mike and Heidi gave it a good go but he was far too interested in Jessica, and hadn't moved on from his stage of dating much younger women.

Cam and Jules were amazing. She was a bit like Marilyse- gorgeous and hadn't aged badly but dressed and presented herself in a very mature way so could have been older.

Mick deserved far better as did Bronson.

Aww I loved Simon and Alene!! He was a sweetheart.

I don't understand why it's a problem they've been in shows before? If they're looking for a partner and believe the way to go about that is to go in Tv (not for me!) then why not?

Like Sean and Susan. He was also a farmer and she was, I believe, a truck driver. They were so keen on each other but neither could give everything up to be with the other, it just seemed cruel to match them in the first place 😭

Oh god, yes. They really seemed so in love. I was sad they couldn’t make it work. I couldn’t have lived on his farm in a million years.

I don’t care if they’ve been on telly before or not.

But I believe that most ( if not all) who have are doing it for clicks and giggles and an extension of their 15 minutes.

I just don’t believe it is for love.

And judging by the absolute arse the ixperts have made of the matches, they don’t either.

Ahhh....Porn-tache Mick deserved so much more...he deserved me for a start

...sits back and waits for claims of "I saw him first"

Those two broke my heart! It was just so cruel but also I guess it was that challenge of how far do you go to follow your heart

Sean was my cup of tea. What a lovely bloke he was. Honest and principled and a good, dependable man.

I think I would live in the arse end of Mars with someone like that. 🙂

Don't think this is a spoiler - more a confirmation of what we know about the editing but if anyone thinks it's too much please report the post and get it removed:

Morag on her insta has posted photos of Switzerland and said it was a shame we didn't get to see all the fun they had on their honeymoon doing activities etc. seems like she really was digging about how they've been edited.

She can whinge all she likes about editing. Her gob was moving - the words came out.

She may have had fun but she still spoke cruelly.

No editing will gussy that up.

I did wonder if she had posted that in response to the criticism she's been getting on the sosh meeja...

Damage limitation for the new ‘brand’ innit tits

He really was a lovely bloke. I think I may have actually cried when they had that proper heart to heart about how it wasn’t going to work out, cause she was so lovely too.

@TitsInAbsentia oh my gosh, porn-tache is accurate!! His face every time jessika said stay and he just wanted to go home, she was awful!!

Telv ended up with a restraining order against him 😅

And Sean and Susan have both publicly said that their relationship wasn't what it was painted to be on the show.

@Egghead68

I don’t know, I thought Mike was abusive and misogynistic. I was glad Heidi didn’t end up with him.

Me too.

He just wanted her to reflect him and to be an extension of himself. Like taking her on a boat trip for their big date, when he knew she gets seasick. So it was about him prancing about looking manly, while she was rendered a killjoy.

It was a bullet dodged for her.

I can see this- it definitely didn't help on earlier UK seasons and took it's toll on Adam who worked on trains & London obsessed Caroline in the 2018 edition, for sure. I know people who've moved for partners, but they had a history before hand. It seemed less risky. Although I suppose part of commiting in this way is about taking risks?

However - the dire MAFSUK2019 took geography into account. The mighty power of geography gave us Jack the lad & lovely but not a Barbie Verity, who was critiqued by his spivvy dad and whom he strung along for the duration and refused sex so he could get an annulment, and defensive and still raw Steph and too-nice Jonathan- seemingly matched because they both work in the public sector, he had a house & she was "young" and they were based with x miles of each other. Was the worst season EVER!

Whereas MAFS2020 had Owen & Michelle with North or South decisions to make and they did make it work and she moved. People gave him stick for saying "I'd move" and then letting her do it, but I suspect she realised he was a convenient reason to flee psycho sister and judgy mummy. Editing wasn't kind to her sister but I suspect stuff was left out & she wanted her life to live.

In this season it could certainly scotch Matt & Dan if Take Matt isn't keen on a Norn Iron move but Dan goes back for good. Suspect they won't be able to relight that fire.

I suspect for many of them that do go wrong, geography is actually an excuse & a relief- you can walk around Birmingham safe in the knowledge that the other party has fucked off back to St Ives or Newcastle.

Loved trainy kiddie jammies bloke and Caroline.

They bloody weren’t there for the ‘Gram or any equivalent.

Didn’t they get a Nigel rabbit?

Morag said Luke’s wardrobe was starting to turn her off! He seemed like a normal dresser to me! She made him go shopping and brought him new clothes..
She’s have a fit and die if she saw my wardrobe!
