MAFS6- where the sliding into dms does not require lube and a fish slice

[SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard]

I’ve lost my nip.

It really annoys me when they refer to Megan's affair. Affairs in real life cause a lot of pain and anguish.

A drunken snog days after you've said a few flowery words to a stranger who you don't even like is not an affair!

@SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard

I agree that the ixperts may have been edited as badly as the contestants,

But my favourite saying comes into play again.

You can’t edit what you don’t say. They’ve got feckall budget by the look of it and so are unlikely to be using cgi for sneery coupons.

I thought sellout was grand in other things.

All they’ve managed to convince me on this programme is that they’ve got 10 new clients. And some of it may well be down to the ixperts.

I cannot forgive their attitude to Megan at all. That was nothing short of shameful.

it was - if that's how it really played out. I do totally get the point that they can't edit what you don't say - but they could have 30-min or more chats with each couple, and then it's all edited to pick out the most dramatic interesting 4 mins from each. And that could really skew how they've said/addressed an issue. They've called out a few of them for their actions, but maybe they've also told Bob that he's too much, too suffocating - but that doesn't fit with the narrative that the production team are putting out for us to see. We also don't know what they're laughing or sneering at - it could be incidental stuff, which is being edited into a different place in a conversation

I'd also like to add, I do not think they're doing a good job! I just feel like they might well be giving some balanced advice (as they seemed to be doing an OK job to begin with!), but the editing is affecting how it comes across.

I’m not sure Daniel and Matt will work. Daniel is a small town boy from N Ireland, he already said he wouldn’t move to England. And would Matt move from Leeds?
Tayah is obsessed with having a child and marriage, I think that whys she so besotted with Adam. She’s hell bent on marriage and kids, regardless.

Alexis is aggressive and rough. That's why Ant stopped fancying her.

@SunshineCake1

I liked Bob from the start and then suddenly realised why. He reminds me of someone I used to go out with. I would be busting down his door. I want to be Mrs Bob .

I couldn’t cope with his lack of backbone!

The constant bursting into tears is ridiculous. You’ve only known this woman a matter of weeks, why are you sobbing like it’s the end of the world that she doesn’t fancy you? Move on!

The proof of the pudding will be after it is done I think fly

If they protest furiously that they’ve been heavily edited, I may concede. Slightly.

But anyone with a hint of integrity would have point blank refused to let them have at it fast and loose with the editing where they were concerned.

I suspect they won’t protest as that will affect their positions for the next series. And that would be where I just think that they are as meja hory as the rest of them. 🤷‍♀️

No matter how it has been edited, they have absolutely persisted in digging out Megan about the so called affair. I don’t think there is any getting round that.

And if they can’t spend money on a cameraman for 10 minutes to catch that alleged kiss, then I doubt they’ve got the budget to fanny about editing hours of footage.

For me they have dumbed down massively. And they have ruined Mafsuk completely.

It is entertainment but it ain’t Mafs.

I do wish that I’d watched that mingle thing instead now.

Not just me then. My jaw dropped when the ixpert said that.

I'm not sure I'd even describe one kiss with another man, even in a proper marriage, as an affair.
Cheating, yes. Unacceptable, probably. But an affair? No.
I agree, a real affair is devastating and calling this an affair is really not on.

Yes I absolutely rolled my eyes at the word "affair".

Just what is that all about?!

Anyone else think Morag will finally come to her senses but Luke will have walked away? well we can only hope...
Amy has more layers than an onion you never know what you are getting, one minute she wants to appear all coupled up, next she's swearing and screaming, I know they are mismatched and Josh does seem very immature still but she is way too much and incredibly needy.
So glad Bob and miserable face finally called it a day, had a wee soft spot for Bob but I was like finally they are leaving!!If i heard one more week that they were getting so much closer, then had to look at Megans face liked she had sooked a lemon, really, it was getting too much.

I stood up for bob at the start but he was a bit of a wet blanket really.

@TheHouseILiveIn

We are all programmed to think certain types are amazing. It's really shallow. Slim trumps everything, then nice hair. It's very shallow

If that was the same for everyone I’d be a virginal spinster of this parish! Mind, might have been better off that way.

When I saw Bob’s wrist weighed down with golden trinkets last night I got definite Del Bobby vibes.

I kind of agree about Wanky, having had some ex forces patients and dated a couple, there is very much an alpha male culture, which can be very toxic. Any issue is very much kept behind closed doors as you don’t let the side down or let anyone know you are weak. Any sign of weakness can negatively affect your career. It may have changed but wives are very much seen as belonging to the serviceman by the army. I recall a friend being registered with the army’s GP on camp and she was referred to by her husband’s name. Wives are treated differently depending on their husbands rank and there is definitely the expectation that they don’t put a foot out of line and embarrass them.
Regardless of active service, there does seem to be a personality difference between those who leave the forces and slot into different job roles and those who remain very much in army mode eg physical training/security etc. I’ve worked with a couple of social workers who were ex army guys so definitely not saying Franky is typical of them all.

I do wonder if Franky does show a lot more of his vulnerable side alone with Marylise and whether she feels she can “fix him” and that’s why they’re still together. Or they might just have amazing sex!

Re the emergency supplies thing. I can see why the condoms. Great for carrying water in and for putting over things to keep them dry or using to tie things together.

I’m surprised that we’ve seen so little of the couples outside of the dinner parties. Megan was talking about kisses and cuddles with Bob that we saw nothing off. I have two theories. Either, the camera crews were stuck down with Covid and so couldn’t film, or someone messed up the recordings and corrupted/deleted them.

😂

De-lurking from the thread to raise a (genuine) question ... am I the only one who doesn't find Alexis attractive in the least? I honestly wouldn't look at her twice in the street. Maybe the squealing fishwife act doesn't help.

Megan on the other hand is beautiful.

I agree. Megan is so well groomed but not overdone. I think she's so pretty.

I don’t find Alexis very nice inside or out.
She would be a nightmare gf.
Very shouty and confrontational

Evening, have finally caught up. Suspected COVID tiredness means I can't seem to stay awake past 9pm.

Agree with previous poster who said that Bob needs a Mr Bob. The big diamond earrings and the medallion give it away for me. It's all a bit Duncan from Blue. (Loved Megan's jumpsuit though, I do love a well fitting jumpsuit, being a curvy lady myself! And no, she most definitely does not need to be skinny.)

Thought it was quite a talking moment when Maz had to ask Wanky if he was pissed off with her. His jaw could not have been more clenched.

Morag, do shut up with your screechy whining. I just can't bear it any longer. Lovely Luke needs his head testing. Either that or he's slightly deaf and in need of spectacles.

I was also puzzling over the earrings....Geography was not my strongest subject at school.

That is all... catch you tomorrow as I have to hold off from reading the thread til I've caught up with the episode!

Megan absolutely is gorgeous, no argument at all, but I wouldn’t say she’s not overdone, her look is quite severe. Not as severe as the angular contouring of Tayah admittedly…
That being said, all the women are quite heavy handed with the make up so I suppose it’s all much of a muchness.

I think Alexis is the best looking woman of them all but her personality lets her down. You know those good looking people who say they can't find someone and then you see them in action and think yeah.

Megan is beautiful but wears some monstrosities.

Home visits today

@Ughmaybenot

@Ughmaybenot Oh god, I read that laughing and thought how clever of you to change Del Boy to Del Bobby…..Wish I could claim to be that witty!

Evening everyone tuning in for tonight's home visits.

Tuning in! Finally watching live instead of on catch-up and following along with the thread after. Got half a tub of caramel chew chew to keep me company too
