MAFSUK7 - where we let the music take us like one of Feargal’s French girls and can express our dislike of lampshades and sofas through the medium of ecstatic dance

For when t’other thread is full 😘

@Spysolation

I just wish we could have a genuine ‘real’ mafs. Real people in their real homes, looking for real love. Oh and if they were married for real too, that would make it all much more exciting.

Yes I agree. I loved seeing how they got on when it was just the two of them at home and dealing with each other's foibles.

Marylise is fame hungry too.

Sigh

I'm shocked that the experts haven't picked up on what morsg is saying about finding Luke attractive when he's aggressive. That is a huge warning sign of previous abuse and she needs some serious help to work all that out.

Ditto Tayah who's happy to leave everything she has behind - family, friends, job - for a man she met a few weeks ago. So she'll love in Doncaster and his life will be her life because she'll have no support of her own there. It seems a little obsessive to me and not that healthy. If s relationship is strong and truly going to work, then a few months long-distance, spending weekends etc together is okay. If she's really only 25 she's got plent of time to start a family.

I felt very sorry for Amy and Josh and like other posters I think it's terrible that he's almost being forced into telling her that he loves her. When and if he feels it, it should be a conversation between themselves and I wish they'd both formed a united front to say that to everyone (and the "experts").

So many fame hungry people on the show. Such a shame that people don't go on for the right reasons.

Sorry I'm only just watching last night's and I just have to say FUCK ME has Luke got frickin tights on instead of kecks?!

Adam and Tayah are like Posh and Becks wannabes..
I wonder how they’ll be when the honeymoon period is over and Tayah gets used to the wet and cold in Doncaster not knowing anyone.

Morag has confused assertive with aggressive. Just like she confuses generally with genuinely. Who knows what the fuck she means half the time. And when she thinks her audience are turning on her she turns on the water works. Such a role model.

😂😂 I think we can all guess whose idea those tights were!

We need a new thread guys.

Do you want to do one @Bananarama21 if @SheldonesqueTheBstard doesn't soon?

This is so true. I've spent most of this series compiling a diary to give to my daughter (in case of kicking the bucket) telling her the right and wrong way to behave in a relationship. Along with spotting red flags, and knowing her worth. So I suppose the series has been good for summat. Those ixperts want bloody sacking though for enabling some of the shitty behaviours and damaged souls. I thought they got off on the right foot when they kicked the lassie from Durham out, but it's all gone to shit since.

And I'm another that actually thought Franky is now starting to come across as fairly decent. Editing is everything of course. They do love to play the personalities off against each other. The couples that have been totally one sided for me (in a bad way, and clearly have massive issues) are Morag and Amy.

@RainbowZebraWarrior I wish my mum had made me a diary about relationships and red flags!
Good idea.
I'm sorry to pry and obviously ignore me of you don't want to answer but why do you think you might kick the bucket? I hope you are ok

Last night's pathetic game made the ixperts look ridiculous, practically rubbing their hands with glee at the anticipated fallout. They've taken the best bits of UK and Aus versions and thrown them away, leaving just the dross.

It would have been so much better to allow the contestants to chat freely over dinner, asking questions naturally of each other.

I'm fine Jason I'm just an older Mum (50 with a 9 yr old daughter) so figure if I'm not around when she's older she might benefit from some advice. I did online dating in my 40's after I split from her Dad and met some very questionable men!

Ah I see! Phew. That's good forward thinking though and I'm sure she will appreciate it when she is older :)

Are we all sat comfortably and ready for the penultimate episode?

@Twitchynose would you start a new thread please?!

I made a new thread....

Oh well done 👏

Sorry I got distracted thanks for the new thread have you got a link

@Mumdiva99 thanks for sorting that.
Can’t believe the series has been filmed over 8 weeks and yet the icksperts were still asking if couples were in love!

Have we all jumped to the other thread? Love that it’s been on literally 2 mins and already Franky has mentioned he’s ex forces!

Why does that expert lady speak down her nose and kind of pose between words? It's like Joey's smell the fart acting - looks really snooty on her tho.

@category12 I think, she thinks it gives her gravitas!
