@Ourlady

Ant reminds me of Myles from Rak-su. He's got a lovely face I think.
Yessss!

Yes!! Said this last night to DH

Luke has a touch (ok a slight touch) or Eric Bana about him

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 02/09/2021 10:46

Thank you bandito

That’s been bugging the lurks off me!

Spot on.

I'm assuming Nakita probably meant it a different way than I'm used to hearing it, but I was so shocked to hear the word knacker used.
I'm from the Irish Travelling community and to us, knacker is an extremely offensive slur. My jaw hit the floor!

Nikita's mum looks so pretty

That's probably how Nikita would have looked before she messed with her face.

TitsInAbsentia · 02/09/2021 11:18

Oh Nikita you will never know....when to shut yer cakehole! She can't get over the fact he isn't completely drooling over her. She is def just in it for the drama, it's grim to see at such an early stage. I just feel so bad for Ant (his eyes are just so beautiful). Knackita will be scouted by the Ex on the Beach team (let's face it, I'm convinced it's the same scouting team for all these programmes now).If she asked me to name three things I liked about her she'd be waiting a chuffing long time for a response.

Sideshow Bob could do with dialling it back - is he overcompensating for the fact he's not buff of bod (you know, big'n'bubbly type thing). Can see the ick in Meg's face (mixed with a big dollop of what the fuck have I done, I mean if you've never had a relationship and you go and do this you need your bumps felt) and I don't think he understood at all when she was trying to explain to him how she likes space.

Mog clearly wants a manly man aka someone who treats her like dog shite. If she wanted a gym head why didn't she try to pull someone at the gym? Perhaps she tried and failed. And the whole clothing thing, she's not exactly the snappiest dresser herself is she? I understand her grieving but I'm not sure I can deal with her pulling the grief card every time she feels guilty/doesn't know what to say etc.

Take Matt is horrified at the prospect of a move to Norn Iron. I don't expect there is much of a tribute band circuit. I feel like we've just been dumped with one of those couples (remember the cowboy and the lovely lady from mafaus - they were awesome together but just couldn't work the distance/difference in locations) who are dooooomed from the outset.

That's the meaning of the word I understand. I do also know it from 'knackers yard' meaning but that's usually where the term to be knackered comes from (ie I'm not fit for anything).

Well exactly. She wore a horrible grey tracksuit to the shopping expedition.

Sunbird24 · 02/09/2021 11:32

Knackita going on about her ‘banta’ being because there’s nothing else to do, hasn’t even crossed her mind to ask Ant about himself or pay him a compliment.

LopsidedWombat · 02/09/2021 12:20

I know lots has been said about Nikita but my main thought is that reality TV is the worst place for her and I fear she's the sort to get chewed up and spat out by the whole experience. She cannot regulate her emotions from what we've seen so far which of course helps ratings but isn't really in the spirit of MAFS I don't think.

The awkward breakfast chat between Morag and Luke was really unkind. Like others have said, I'm pleased she apologised and it wasn't just a quick sorry but a heartfelt apology. But she obviously shouldn't have said that at all. Of course we need to be sexually attracted to our partner and I'm one of those that knows immediately, never had it grow on me before. If it was a first date she could be forgiven for not wanting another. However it isn't and she signed up for this process, presumably she's seen the show before and knows that people don't get matched with 'what they ordered'! If she needed to mention it she could have waited a bit longer and said something less personal like most of us do, about sparks and chemistry. He seemed happy enough to go on the new wardrobe shopping trip so I can't get mad about that although recognise it could be a slippery slope on which she tries to change him.

Daniel's deal breaker doesn't bode well and unless participants have explicitly said they will uproot and relocate to anywhere in the UK and Ireland then why match them with someone with this deal breaker? In the hopes they will change their mind? Same with wanting /not wanting /already having children.

HollowTalk · 02/09/2021 12:27

I agree - if someone has a deal breaker then why on earth match them with someone who doesn't want the same thing?

It's like on First Dates - woman aged 65 says she feels much younger than her years, so they match her with an 80 year old man!

burnoutbabe · 02/09/2021 12:28

I was shocked by the lady who said she had not had any relationships. Surely a rubbish candidate for this as she just wants lots of space which isn't exactly fair in an experiment where you are supposed to be together 24/7 for 10 weeks or so (I assume not work during this time following the Australian model)

MargoLovebutter · 02/09/2021 13:48

How can the matching team have put people together who have opposite views on having kids????!!!! That's not because they want them to find lasting love now is it?

I love MAFS but I think it should be called "Fake marriage for TV Ratings" because trying to pretend it is to find lasting love and marriages for all its contestants is nonsense.

Never heard of going mortal or being mortal of whatever that new term was. I can see that coming in handy at my next pearl clutching bookclub get together! Grin

JudyGemstone · 02/09/2021 13:50

I’ve only ever used the word knacker in the sentence ‘great fat knacker’ (usually referring to myself!). I had no idea it was a traveller slur Blush

MargotMoon · 02/09/2021 13:51

KNACKITA! Bravo to the poster who put this on the other thread 👏

JudyGemstone · 02/09/2021 13:51

I know some people think ‘knackered’ is a swear as apparently it used to mean ‘tired after sex’.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 02/09/2021 13:52

Knackered means going to the knackers yard as far as I'm concerned. I've heard of mortal though Grin

MargoLovebutter · 02/09/2021 13:58

I say knackered quite a bit. Having grown up in the country, I always thought it meant that you were so tired you were only fit for the knackers yard (i.e. slaughter). I had no idea it had after sex or traveler links! I feel a bit edgy now!!!!!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 02/09/2021 13:59

Fine going mortal.

More likely to be immortal with all that plastic injectables.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 02/09/2021 14:05

My grandparents would've raised an eye brow as I think to them it mean it meant the studd horse was old and no longer needed his knackers,therefore 'all shagged out.'

Puffalicious · 02/09/2021 14:09

Jeez! I've just caught up (day off: luxuriating with shite TV and a massive bag of cheesy puffs! Bliss).

This is NOT the MAFS UK that I know. FFS- it's gone all crappy, scripted, drama pish!

Knackita is clearly there for the exposure: a self-absorbed, rude brst and Megan is a fucking grey- eyebrowed cow. I love Luke- he's so sweet and just wants someone to love. Megan is boring, boring, boring.

Producers to blame every time.

Puffalicious · 02/09/2021 14:12

Brat

Slub · 02/09/2021 14:14

Do you mean Morag (the one with Luke) ?

queenjaneappro · 02/09/2021 14:25

I'm going to stick with this for a while but like previous posters have said putting together people whose deal breakers aren't compatible is taking the piss.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 02/09/2021 14:32

Sadly I think now when the words reality tv show are used, then it will be anything but.
