MAFSUK5 - In the land of unlined the spotter of the lazy eye thinks he is king.

Still on MAFS4 at the moment …

@RainbowZebraWarrior

Morag is definitely a Mumsnetter. She said the immortal phrase "ducks in a row"

That's not a MN phrase,it's been around for years along with every other phrase people insist came from here

Morag was obviously told by the producers to bring up the messages ..yawn

Alexis is quite tiresome,good grief!!

I do think Marilyse has a lazy eye. 100%

@Notdoingthis

I do think Marilyse has a lazy eye. 100%

But that’s not really the point? It’s Fwanky saying she’s attractive despite her lazy eye… that’s not a compliment! Classic negging imo.

[quote SpanishFly]@yourfinestpantaloons
"Feel sorry for Alexis re Ant friend zoning. She's being rejected physicallyagain" - but he isn't. He did fancy her, but it's now that he knows her he's friend zoned her, because of her personality. I have to agree, I think she's far less attractive looking than at first due to her personality.

The lazy eye comment was so weird. Franky said it as if they'd discussed it before, and was reassuring her that it's barely noticeable (which is what I think Paul took from it), however the Marylise replied saying that nobody has ever told her she has a lazy eye before. 🤔🤷‍♀️[/quote]
EXACTLY @spanishfly she poked that nest herself

Does anyone else think Ant has the ick? See the fleeting expression when he worried she might just have at him?

Yes! He looked pretty worried.

The phrase Alexis used: ‘stick it to you’…I get that it’s youthful vernacular n all that, but It just sounds really unfortunate and disgusting in this particular context 😆

Yes to ant looking very concerned!! He was very careful to let her down gently but I couldn’t help but think the way she did it in the first place was gross ‘the girls all think I should stick it on you’?! Oh well, if the girls say so

But remember we are only see edited bits, how we know Marilyse didn't joke about it one day. I know with previous partners I've joked oh one eye is bigger than the other and they joke back about it saying I still look good even with weird eyes. I dont take it offensively

I just think we have to remember we don't see everything

I just think we have to remember we don't see everything

Exactly. All we're seeing is conversations about conversations. I don't wanna know what someone said. I want to see it for myself, analyse the body language and figure out if they mean what they say. That's the fun part of reality tv and they've stripped it out ffs!

Ant look horrified at being stuck on

The only time I’ve had one stuck on me lately is when it has been done by an over enthusiastic and fairly boisterous Labrador.

The other thing we have to remember is that the programmes are aired AFAIK after the process is complete. So the editing will take on a different tone than if we were seeing highlights from yesterday for example.
In other words, if they know the Megan ends up coming out on top against Alexis, they might want to highlight the struggle she had to get to that point.
Or they know that Alexis end up single and feeling unattractive, so they emphasise every conversation she has which hints at this.

I must apologise for my dog

Agree we are not seeing enough of the actual week inbetween dinner parties and CCs.

Question- are the weeks actually a 'week' or are they actually 4-5 day cycles and they just call them a week?

Couldn’t agree more, takes all the fun out of it really.

I think we all remember that it is edited after the ‘process’ is finished, that the producers are ramping up the drama, that we don’t see everything or we see only what the producers want us to see and that even then it isn’t exactly real.

Until they stop fluffing what they filmed, we comment on what we get shown.

We all know it is unadulterated shite.

And that it was miles better in the old format because it felt at least as though the contestants were genuine. And that even if we saw them on a dull day out we saw their relationship growing.

Commitment ceremonies and dinner parties are all about the manufactured drama and they think that is what we want.

It is not.

Is it still watchable? Of course otherwise we all wouldn’t be on here. But it really isn’t what it should have been.

They shot for the moon and managed 6 inches off the ground.

No apologies needed apple

There is nothing better than getting a lapful of lap dog from a beastie that is the size of 10 little lapdogs. 😍

Its scripted, sometimes they film multiple takes, the producers set them up into scenarios, they shit stir and the wind the Couples up
Agree - I feel a bit guilty watching this crap!

It would have been nicer if someone had refused to answer.
Yes, too true. Even better if they hadn't asked the question! Bad form, boys, playing to that spin.

@auditamanda

wondering this. I cant believe it is actually a week as they'd be paying for the rent for those appartments for weeks on end when they're barely filming more than the dinner parties and committment ceremonies. Which probably take about a day each.

And unlikely I couldn’t agree more re the boys (I would hope men would have more testes about them)

That was cruel and unnecessary. Of them and the producers.

That shouldn’t have been entertained as a question, let alone answered.

I canat believe they're making such a big deal of the insta DM. We know Josh was a player. He probably messaged hundreds of women, he probably doesn't even remember her. I also think it was weird Amy said "blondes are even his type" do we think there's a man in the land who has a preference for brunettes and has never tried to stick it on a blonde. To use MAFS parlance.

I'm not a fan of whataboutery for men but I can't help imagining a man sitting down a mad saying "all the boys think I should just stick it on you" and everyone being fine with it

Was literally going to say this. It's a weird phrase which implies the receiver has no say in the matter

We said the same, no one should've answered the question who wouldn't you like to be married to, I mean, wtf?!

I wonder tho who would’ve come out as the nominees for ‘husband you’d least like to be married to’ had the women, and Matt, answered the same question 🤔

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor

Yes they should have refused. Especially once Megan's name had been mentioned more than once. And surely it would have been a resounding NIKITA!
