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!

I actually think both Alana and Jason do want it to work, I really disliked him at first but he grew on me. Can't put my finger on it. They made me quite emotional the pair of them!

They are very sad to watch.

I thought it was quite nice when they did the mood board and saw each other's family goal. Not sure what his problem is.

I agree, I just think Jason isn't used to the emotional side of relationships.

I was rather uncomfortable viewing Belinda as she comes across as very young and innocent, clearly uncomfortable with a lot of the tasks.

Learning she is 30 I am now wondering if she has pushed herself out of her comfort zone as she feels she needs to.

Any Australians on here who can tell us what is sold door to door in this day and age !

Jason has been going out and partying for the last few years, he's forgotten how to 'do' a relationship. Also, this is far more intense than a regular relationship.

I'm sniffing some mega editing on the trailer for tomorrow's show. I too think Bryce will be declaring love for Melissa, or failing that he thinks she's on the wobble so he throws in the leave card to make her double down her efforts to be compliant and keep him. He really didn't like it at the dinner party when she moved away from him - how can he control what she is hearing/thinking when she isn't within reach!

I'm done with Brett and Booka. There must be more to it than we are seeing (someone mentioned him making crude jokes?) and if there isn't then she is a blunt old plank. I could understand Patrick getting all jittery at the thought of confrontation (although surely he must have expected some comeback when the letter was being written?) I hate confrontation but it was inevitable. I liked Johnny trying to ensure the friendship between Patrick and Brett wasn't broken, although I think it may take more than that, or if Patrick is lucky Brett will thank him for moving things along.

Still not sure what to think of Liam (aka Trump jnr). But Georgia (was that her name, I can't remember!) looked stunning I thought.

Bec and Jake not sure what they're still trying for, even if they can get on as friends they don't fancy each other, they're not a fit.

Aussie here.

Honestly can't think of anything that is sold door to door these days. It's so unusual. I would have assumed something like Avon but I'm pretty sure that's all online now.

One of my mates has a theory that what Belinda 'sells' door to door is Mormonism or Jevohah Witness membership.

@JaneJeffer I’ve sent @Sheldonesque loads of nudges and very tempted to ask MN HQ for a welfare check miss her succinct posts!

I can't imagine someone who is Mormon or Jehovah Witness watching MAFS let alone going on it. They're usually very straitlaced. Then again stranger things have happened.

I apologise for being crude but I still haven't caught up on all the earlier episodes - have Bec and Jake had sex?

Did anyone read / watch the Twilight series? I reckon Melissa has imprinted on Bryce.

Hmm that would make sense, but wouldn’t she be looking to date within that denomination?

In the UK I have had a Ringtons tea call around a couple of times in the last few years and also people selling home improvement services

Charitable standing orders around here.

Modern milk rounds here plus gutters and soffit replacement.

I think Liam should have been asked to rank all the other participants not just the ladies. Yes they are not gay men so wouldn't be interested in him but that wasn't the point.

Belinder does come across as very repressed and it seems wrong for any intimacy to be encouraged. She hasn't even said if she has had sex before but one assumes not.

Jake and bec have just agreed to be mates now haven't they? So Are being nice to each other and will leave tomorrow.

I've thought about doing the same but I didn't want to annoy her if she just needed time out. I PMd her at the beginning of October and had no reply which isn't like her

@dapsnotplimsolls no Bec and Jake have basically just been friends. Think they may have said they have kissed once but that's it. I really don't understand why he still has any interest in her TBH.

What I don't get is Bec constantly saying he tried to shove his tongue down her throat and all he did was kiss her on the lips.

I know, she kept on about it, I can't see tjat Jake did anything wrong. I think even her friends knew she was out of order at the wedding.

I still love Jake, he hasn't done anything to make me change my initial impressions of him. I hope he finds his soulmate after all this (because let's face it, is not Bec!)

@JaneJeffer

She’s desperate not to be the bad guy so focuses as much as she can on perceived wrongdoing by Jake imo. She can’t actually keep a lid on her shitty behaviour tho, so is doomed to always be the bad guy, so to speak. Jake is a darling @TitsInAbsentia I agree!
