MAFSAUS 8 thread 3 - awkwardly Drawing each other like one of your French girls.

[bonkersbirdie]

New thread before the old one disappears- ready for Monday's commitment ceremony!

Bryce kissing Bec was vile. Agree with others that it was assault. I feel like it was totally swept under the carpet though, we barely even saw any of the aftermath. Usually with a blow up it dominates quite a lot of the episode. B&M left straight away and then it was pretty much the next day and barely spoken about (or more rather not shown, as no doubt the other couples didn’t all just go to bed too and not talk about it).

I get more and more uncomfortable watching Bryce and Melissa for ‘entertainment’. Even the producers giving them their own house away from the others is just facilitating B’s control over M. I’m also getting sick of it being the Bryce show who clearly loves the drama. I worry for Melissa, but also feel frustrated and annoyed with her at the same time for just ignoring such huge red flags so early on in a relationship when it should still be easy to walk away.

@TitsInAbsentia from what i can gather the alana spoiler and the BIG spoiler are two different things

Does anyone know when the big spoiler comes?

Big spoiler isn't a part of the series. It's after the experiment.

They might as well have decked out B&M’s “palace” with wall to wall red bunting.

Please don’t tell me no one on that crew can recognise his deliberate isolation and gaslighting because absolutely everyone watching can.

Does anyone know when the big spoiler comes?

It's happening now but obviously if you know the spoiler you'd know some of the outcome of the series so it depends how much you wanna know it

I really recommend watching Made in Chelsea from the begining. It's brilliant. Very Ike Married at first Sight! Available on All Four.

It’s a bit rich, Patrick insisting on an apology from Bryce to the group, when a letter that he wrote was the catalyst for a marriage breaking down!

A lot of them are just siding with Bec because they know that once Bryce is gone she will be looking for her next victims….apart from Jake, he’s been a victim of hers since the wedding

@JaneJeffer

When Jason was roused out of bed to play tennis there was half a bottle of beer on the sideboard.

I pointed that out to DH. Jason always seems to have a beer nearby. Poor Jake just wants to get his leg over - it’s got to the stage where Bec could strangle Bryce and. Jake would bury the body for her and then ask ‘ Did that turn you on? Was that hot?’

I mean, what is the POINT of the ixperts????
Yes, they (allegedly) match the couples in the first place and 'host' the commitment ceremony. But when it suits them, they pretend that they haven't seen the footage of the previous week/s and don't know what's been going on. Like Coco and whoever it was having secret meetings and kissing. Or the gas lighting. They preside over some pretty nasty harmful behaviour and just let it play out.
Apart from Alessandra's intimacy interventions, they ixperts don't seem to use their ixpertise with the couples. I would expect them to guide and advise them, counsel them through tricky spots, maybe mediate where necessary.
All they do is announce fake tasks, designed only to provoke drama and conflict-- such as rating the others' attractiveness.

Can we please stop with spoiler chat, making who it refers to as well

Agree with the first part - why is no one calling Patrick out on being a shit stirrer

Poor Jake just wants to get his leg over - it’s got to the stage where Bec could strangle Bryce and. Jake would bury the body for her and then ask ‘ Did that turn you on? Was that hot?’
I do feel for him, he’s making an absolute fool of himself. So weird tho, his self esteem can’t be that low surely?! He’s gorgeous and nice and has a lot about him what with the charity and everything, he could have his pick!

The women in the group must realise that by following Bec's relentless "calling out", they are contributing to Melissa's isolation by pushing her further out of the group, making her more reliant on Bryce. Does anyone else remember the Hen Night episode, where Coco announced that the wife group is their safe place. Sam immediately pulled her up on it and told her no, it really isn't.
This series seems to be quite "Hunger Games". It feels like they are all put in an artificial environment and poked and prodded until they break or turn on each other.

I really dislike how Bryce constantly refers to Melissa as "my wife". And why does she look so smug and proud about it? I hate victim blaming, I don't want to victim blame, but my sympathy for hernia seriously waning. What would it take for her to see what an absolute abusive dick he is? There's no part of his personality that seems good at all and it doesn't seem like he cares about her, as she says he does.

When Bryce yaps wife this and wife that I just hear ‘youu’re maaaaaiy wife naaaaow’

Papalazaraus.

Hello Dave

Ffs why is last nights episode not on all4?! Rage 😂

Same. Why isn’t it there?!

I have just watched it on the shvideo site mentioned before, with the bonus of no adverts.

I am finding Jake really attractive, he deserves a break after all of the nonsense with Bec.

I reckon Patrick and Belinda were set up by the producers at some points when they come across as stirring things.

I don't know what more can be said about Melissa. I wonder what she made of the comments when the show came out and what she makes of the relationship now.

Has anyone else noticed that Alannah puts an "a" on the end of most sentences? I can't not notice it now and it's annoying me!

E.g. "but it's putting a strain on our relationship-ah" "but Jason-ah"

Yes-a. But I quite like her-a. She isn't what she pretended to be in the auditions-a.

It’s definitely unfair that Jason is getting plenty of action and Jake is getting none. If I were younger and single I’d help him out.
