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

[SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard]

Still on MAFS4 at the moment …

Given that it is all scripted I feel sorry for Alexis that she has allowed herself to be portrayed as a hypocritical arse.

But I feel sorry for Megan more. She has received nothing but grief from the start.

A partner who wasn’t real to her but instead gave her ‘showtime’ Bob.

A dalliance with someone worryingly cold.

Judgement and vitriol from contestants and the experts.

Apologies accepted and thrown back in her face.

It may be scripted to a level but the reactions and expressions looked real enough to me.

I’ll reserve my pity for her because she has been vilified for a kiss. Just a kiss.

I hope the lass hasn’t attracted attackmuppets to her social media due to the producers lack of care.

We all love a villain. Fair enough. But I’ve hated the piley on from early doors. This sort of shit can be super damaging.

Alexis? She is still thought of the victim really despite her arsey behaviour.

In a more cynical world, you could posit the notion that girls who do not behave appropriately and who do not shut their mouths do not deserve someone decent. Do not deserve love.

And that men, despite being serial shaggers and misogynistic holes are allowed to do what they like.

I say all scripted. I mean partly scripted with suggested storylines

But if anyone wrote down ‘I need to speak my truth’ for Alexis to say, then I will volunteer myself to snap your pencil in half and give you my eyebrow of derision.

In the old days I would have also hoofed your arse.

@MargotMoon - Gogglebox is back, 9pm Channel 4.

Anyone got a MAFS UK bingo card yet? I'm putting "100%" and "Tayah applying blusher in the dark" on mine.

Process and stick it on for me.

@Leaveitonthefloordrobe

The questions at the barbecue (FFS, barbecue and beer for the men and afternoon tea and prosecco for the women) were awful. How may people have you slept with? Whose wife would you not want? Childish and disrespectful. Do grown men really like to show off about the number of people they've slept with? I thought it was just 17 year old boys who did that. And talking about the least desirable wife is disgusting. Shame on the producers. And shame on the men for answering.

Do you think the men have really had sex with as many women as they say they have? Is that normal these days?

Oh and "Morag laughing".

Franky said 100, if he started at 16 that's 3 women a year.

The others are bullshitting.

You would hope not but for those who are ‘gram ready I suspect so.

Back in my day, a lot of my single colleagues were fairly footloose and fancy free. Equally if not more so.

Serving overseas in a place close to party central, I have no reason to doubt that their jewels got a lot of airing. Tourist season was pretty much an open invite.

Must be even easier now with the likes of on line dating surely?

I don't know any people like that!

@AppleJane Yes! I do remember that, it was fab. Apart from the "fight night" when Emma and Chicken Stew's gf "no naked jaccussiness!" came back into the main house from the bedsit and C4 cut all broadcasts.😁
I sometimes miss the ambient soundtrack, you know with the sounds of the birds and someone sawing wood. I used to have e4 on in the background while I pottered about in the house.

@JaneJeffer

Do you think the men have really had sex with as many women as they say they have? Is that normal these days? I don't know any people like that!

Me neither!!! Everyone I know (all 40-50 yrs old), men and women, are around the 5-15 mark.

I need to clutch my pearls!!

If we're going down memory lane that far then I have to make a mention of Marjorie the chicken. I liked it when they had to look after other than themselves.

Point taken PPs re Love Island like I say, I never watched it and I couldn't name a single contestant over the years, so I suppose I gave too much credence to paper talk. Despite that though I do think the point stands about how people, by which I mean women mostly, are made a mockery of at the very least. Whether it's body shape, looks or being seen to have unrequited feelings, it's all out there for keyboard warriors to make mock of and keep bringing up year on year.

We are on the same page @Leaveitonthefloordrobe. When anyone (man or woman) brags aboutca high number of sexual conquests it never makes me think "Oh gosh, how attractive you must be". I just think Whatadesperado. I know many men with 10 years on Franky who would only claim to have had sex with a handful of women. So pathetic and such a turn off.

I can't believe it's the one night that DH is out so i was really looking forward to being able to watch it live for once and forgot it's not blooming on tonight 😫

@MargotMoon

Given that this tosh isn't even on tonight I'm trying to decide what to watch instead - any recommendations? I need something equally trashy - but decent trash! (IYKWIM - like this used to be...!!)

I'm also going with Gogglebox. And also Sex Education season 3 has just been released on Netflix.

I think they just have such a small budget they don't get the Friday/Saturday night slots

Think the budget was £50 🤣🤣

They spent £49 on the dinner table flowers for dinner party 2.

So £1 left to cover the rest of the show :D

Surely the more important question from the “games” is, “Have you had sex in a public place?”. Marylise -“a church”. What?? That’s just wrong in so many levels, hope it wasn’t a catholic one!

Definitely think Wanky has shagged his way round the globe. Women do like a bloke in uniform, although I can’t claim that was why I shagged a bloke on the artillery ranges…

Hate to admit it but I also think Frank was being modest with his numbers. The uniform and the fleeting nature of postings lend themselves to repeated easy access.
I confess to being swayed by a uniform or three myself.

I never asked anyone to strip or owt though.
I'm not weird.

Sheldon my lovely. I looked through Meghan's Insta today. There was a recent post where she basically said "lots of love coming my way, I'm not engaging with comments or DM's for obvious reasons, but I thank you all for your support"

This really should signal the end of this sort of shite reality TV. We've all said it's not what we actually want to see assumes all producers are reading MN and give a shiny shite about any of our opinions

@TheQueef

😂

This is the post. I think she looks amazing! Sorry for the NUFC / Leeds scoreline in the screenshot.
