Ooh, could you send me that message? Wink

I remember Jamie and Doug.

Doug didn’t act like a 6 year old twit though. He was a steady lad -although there was a big wobble because he told a white lie.

He had the package (good family etc) that she really wanted.

Bob/Rob has admitted he hasn’t been his true self and that is hard when you don’t know who you have.

inmyslippers · 14/09/2021 13:07

Catching up last nights episode. I don't understand Megan. She's been telling Bob there's nothing there. Clear for all to see. Kissed another guy. Now is having a conversation on the bed saying she wants to try and make it work. I'd respect her more if she stood by her actions.

StiffyByng · 14/09/2021 13:15

They can't marry Alexis and Ant because it just reminds the viewers that the 'weddings' are tosh. I watched the first episode twice for some reason and I never noticed the point when they said the weddings weren't legal. So they've played it down a lot. But marrying that pair so soon after their first ceremonies would make it impossible to ignore.

PugInTheHouse · 14/09/2021 13:21

Sheldon - no Doug was an overall nice guy wasn't he, Bob is too much for most people I imagine. I genuinely don't get how the experts have matched half of them up TBH.

Has anyone seen MAFS Australia S8? Is it available here yet?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 14/09/2021 13:26

I’m holding fire for MAFSAUS to come on the tellybox but I think some do access it elsewhere.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 14/09/2021 13:27

Good point stiffy 🤩

Confusedandshaken · 14/09/2021 14:53

Amy's behaviour is appalling. She was annoyed at the age gap between her and Josh bit she is acting like a petulant 14 year old whilst he is coming across as the adult in the relationship.

One bit that shook me was her griping 'you are pushing me to my limit' when she really actually didn't seem that angry, just very out out that she wasn't able to sulk or bully him into giving her her own way. She seems like a very spoilt and conceited young woman.

Another way of looking at it would be to respect for admitting her first impressions and subsequent behaviour were wrong. Something Mororarrg isn't able to do.
RubyFakeLips · 14/09/2021 15:00

I've just caught up. Morag has a deeply unattractive personality which shines through. I think she was hoping to be matched with someone usually out of her league appearance wise. She wants a sort of lad, I beet she would have loved being matched with Franky.

Am going to go against the rest of the thread on a couple of points.

Firstly, I'm not team Megan or team Bob. They're both as bad as each other. I don't think Bob is awful, or calling someone a Bitch is particularly unusual, maybe misogynistic but I think for most people a low level insult. Megan is sly, manipulative and clearly changing her behaviour to influence her portrayal on screen. All completely disingenuous.

To be fair, Luke is not at all my type and I'm not sure I'd be able to find him attractive but I wouldn't keep banging on about it! The fact that he did the strip didn't make me pity him, made me think he has very little backbone and that is part of the problem!

Previously, I did find Frankie visibly controlling, borderline scary, which still stands, but I didn't find him too bad this episode. Might just be because I bloody hate cooking and am a control freak myself! If I'm being generous and recognising him as someone who makes himself feel secure by being in control, it is hard to turn that on its head and completely relinquish. He's still a knob but now I just think he sounds like he's desperately trying to convince himself he's an Alpha and terrified that everyone will realise he isn't.

Thank FUCK we've seen the back of Jordan though.

Monestera · 14/09/2021 15:03

I'd appreciate a message too - what did I miss?

I'd totally forgotten about Amy's swearing at the start of the programme. That amount of domestic aggression really stresses me out.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 14/09/2021 15:11

@Toomuchtooyoung01

Megan saying Bob was dignified during the commitment ceremony? When he wasn’t shouting “bitch” and tearfully wailing
Aye. This. She was totally told to change tack. And told exactly what to say. Hmph. Poppycock, I say!!

I'd also really appreciate a message if someone doesn't mind letting me know what went down this morning.

SlipperySlope99 · 14/09/2021 15:40

Don’t know if it’s been said before, but I’ve just been looking at tiktok and an excerpt from the relationship show Jimmy carr hosted, came up
And there is Ant with a girlfriend, it’s comparing present partners and ex’s
Have any of the people on MAFSUk NOT been in tv before 🙄 on dating shows etc ?

Winemewhynot · 14/09/2021 15:47

I want to know what I missed too please

Morag remind me of Kate Wright/Ferdinand, they must have the same aesthetics practitioner back in esssssssex Grin

Amy I’ve noticed on Instagram is hanging rounds with the z listers attending the opening of an envelope etc with no josh in sight, although I think we can all guess how this is going to pan out!

I thought last nights was a bit boring tbh, could do with some new couples in to mix it up! Oh and those saying it’d be nice to see what the friends think, they do usually do a brides and grooms home visit where they meet all the friends and family!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 14/09/2021 15:49

What are all the deleted posts about?!Confused

happilybemused · 14/09/2021 15:51

Someone was making personal remarks about one of the contestants appearance. They have been removed. For obvious reasons I won't repeat it

meadowbleu · 14/09/2021 16:22

Sorry, running the risk of pointing out the bleeding obvious to people who've watched as much reality tv as I have, we only see a teeny portion of highly edited footage. Who knows why they remove some people and yet others' bad behaviour doesn't incur sanctions. Perhaps the people removed do far worse and it's not shown, perhaps they have other work lined up. Could be anything.

As said up above, they're not selecting candidates from random general public, it's people who are prepared to spend the time and allow themselves to be filmed, often in a demeaning situation and to some extent, people experienced in some of that at least.

With Ant I don't think he's too soft or weak for Alexis. Maybe he brings out her better qualities? Whatever it is, I hope he's as he seems because his family impressed me at the beginning, especially his father and it seemed as though he's instilled good values into his sons. As always though with this kind of show, we have to wait and see how the producers allow it all to pan out.

Thank you for explaining. Where is the line drawn though? I’m pretty sure lots of things have been said about appearance and not deleted?
Moanranger · 14/09/2021 16:30

A lurker here - I didn’t think this episode was that bad, general light entertainment. I agree with PP above, editing is all. These couples are together 24 hrs/da & we get 5 min. Who knows what really goes on?
I must contrast it with last night’s First Dates, though. I think FD is way better at matching, and soooo refreshing to see normal eyebrows & lips, not a trout in sight!

dayswithaY · 14/09/2021 16:34

I'm done with the level of fakery on this show but I'm committed to it now so I can't stop watching! I honestly believe some intern has just jotted down some storylines and we are watching them being played out.

Alexis and Ant nervously waiting for the Ickpert like they were at a job interview. Why do they need permission to date, they're not in prison. And when she said they couldn't go back as a married couple - thanks for stating the obvious, although seeing as none of them are actually married anyway what difference would it make?

If they want to date just go ahead. Oh wait - that wouldn't get them noticed so they have to "date" while living next door to each other as that's not weird at all.

I don't mind being manipulated for entertainment but this actually worse than a cheesy romcom, at least they have better actors.

Meg is playing the long game with Bob, trying to reel us all in with her softening towards him and plot twist! Against the odds we fell in love. Not buying it.

Tayah and Adam classic case of lust - they get it out their system then look at the other person and think who the hell are you?

Roll on tonight.

Sunbird24 · 14/09/2021 16:40

To be fair to Amy, Knackita wasn’t binned off for the throwing incident on honeymoon but for whatever the much worse thing was that happened off screen at the dinner party, so while she shouldn’t have done it there shouldn’t really be calls for her to be removed for it.

Worse than Frankie being a waxwork of Daniel Craig that's been left by the fire?
SheldonesqueTheBstard · 14/09/2021 16:50

meadow

I know that it is bleeding obviousthat we are only being shown what the producers want us to see.

That said, I don’t think it is acceptable for Amy to be lobbing stuff and cursing someone out for nothing and it being ok to remain.

If it is the marriage experience we are supposed to be buying into, I don’t think it is responsible to show that as acceptable without being called up for it.

If Nikita did more off screen then fair enough but that should have been explained.

As is, it is perfectly reasonable to assume she was kicked off the show for throwing things and swearing at people/treating them with disrespect.

Unless shouting at several people is considered worse than shouting at one like that.

One is too much.

To be fair though, I get more convinced every episode that it is mostly a nonsense. Grin

Towie does Brighton. 🏖

Pretty much took them off the last MAFS Australia Grin

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 14/09/2021 16:53

I clearly missed the explanation for what she did sunbird 🤷‍♀️

I still don’t think it fine for the way Amy spoke to Josh though.

As a morning Beelzebub even I don’t act like that on my worst days 😈
