I’ve saged.

I don't like how Al is being made to feel he has to change who he is. Sam can be who she is regardless and they may not be compatible long term but he shouldn't feel he needs to become someone different.

Also agree with PP re Tamara and Brent, they've grown on me and are really sweet together.

Liv looks like a total psycho in tomorrow's clips. Her fella is gonna see what he's really got himself into. Her initial story of lacking in confidence sounds like bullshit now.

She's gonna look an even bigger tit when Clina's shenanigans come to light.

Yeah Dom's full on but I'd rather that than everyone sitting there pretending it's all okay.

Couple of questions:

How many episodes in this series? Tonight was No21, they say we're half way through so is there 40 episodes?

When Carolina is off seeing Dani's, the cameras are following her so surely the ixperts are told? In which case, why don't they call her out?

Why wasn't Dion allowed to change his mind to Leave?

(First series I've watched and I'm lovin' it!)

*Dani's = Daniel

@dillite

Ixperts are calling them out today like there's no tomorrow.

I don't understand why Sam can't be her ambitious self? Surely she's the one that's taking that away from herself, not Al.

I'm so intrigued at this ambition of hers. What does she do?

I'm trying to post and it's not posting. Lost three posts 😭

I'm here for Dom telling it as it is. Don't usually like this and she's no angel, but she's saying everything I think so I like it

Urgh, can't believe I fancied Dan a bit but you guys are right about his tash and weird ways. Hate the contrived 'relationship' with Carolina.

Love Allesandra (oh gosh, my phone knew who I was gonna say ). She's gorgeous and I loved her 'NOT IN MY NAME' moment

The ixperts obviously have watched feedback that we like them to call people out when they need to be called out. Here for more of it

Wow. John talked some shit tonight.

@WhisperGold

Wow. John talked some shit tonight.

John is a nasty piece of work. He is manipulative, belittling, gaslighting. I hate him. The way he mocked Mitch tonight actually made me feel very uncomfortable- what Mitch is saying is true, the experiment is bullshit and actually maybe he genuinely didn't realise how much of the time there would be a camera in his face. John talked absolute bollocks about "if you can't make it with our help, you won't make it in the real world?" What about all the billions of people in the world who get by absolutely fine without your shitty input, John? And "this experiment creates fairytales"? Yep, Melissa from last series ended up voiceless like The Little Mermaid. The experiment tries to force intimacy on people like the non-consensual kissing of Snow White. And Martha ended obsessed with the mirror like the Evil Queen. I could go on...

Then there's his forcing Dion to stay against his will.

Then there's his forcing Dion to stay against his will. confused

Yeah, I was shocked that Dion had to stay when he changed his mind

Dion was forced to stay just to move that Clina and Dan storyline along.

Either Dan has left the ixperiment or he hasn’t. Why is he still allowed to hang around Sydney and be filmed fumbling around with Carolina.

Liv is going to get herself burnt if she’s not careful.

Liv is provoked because she thinks SHE's the Queen Bee. Not such a lovely, sweet, pwetty girlie when her hackles go up and she starts snarling and drooling, is she?? Liv's the one spitting venom. She thinks she is superior and deserves top respect because her relationship is working out. She must have been suppressing her true self for 9 weeks and it looks like we're about to see her properly. Jackson and his flappy blouse are in for a shock (and what was Cody wearing last night??? a voluminous peach coloured fluted blouse??)

Dom is a bit of a gob shite but she is coming from a good place.

Kate meh
Sam meh
Liv meh
Tamara meh

The nastiest thing I saw in the whole evening was Carolina's reaction to Dom checking on her
No one else moved an inch
She even said " what part of you would think I would want you to comfort me just now ? "

Ok so she doesn't fancy him but her utter contempt of him even breathing is just vile
Nasty biatch

Liv is so jealous because she can see Doms relationship isn't fake and that the experts rage them. That's her turning point tonight. It's really quite pathetic

Rate them not rage

@snakewillow

I don't like how Al is being made to feel he has to change who he is. Sam can be who she is regardless and they may not be compatible long term but he shouldn't feel he needs to become someone different.

I think they're faking it for airtime.'I don't see any tenderness just good acting

Yes the al thing confuses me. Yes he needs to think about if he wants a more adult relationship and marriage etc. he may not.

But telling people he likes computer games? I do that in my spare time and I'm nearly 50 and been with partner for over 11 years. Did he have to say build houses for orphans??

Surely Dion could have left if he wanted /insisted.

Yeah- I feel for Al. I didn't like him at first- he was arrogant and objectionable... but turns out he's fun, likeable, committed to and engaging with the process- and,like us all, just a bit bewildered by Sam.
She may well be ambitious but how is Al thwarting her? Can she only be ambitious and successful if her husband is? Or, by being successful, does she mean being married to a successful man????!!!!

We know the show is a joke but if they actually want us to believe it's a serious experiment (like last night's gaslighting) then the moral thing to do would be for them to stop making Dion look a fool and tell him about Dan. They can't have it both ways, especially not after roasting Mitch for pointing out the show's toxic ways.

Agreed about Al, he seems a genuine sweetie and I think was just a rabbit in the headlights at the parents thing. He does have a career and prospects, isn't he a carpenter who already has a property portfolio? He struggled having 'what's your 5 year plan??' thrown at him but I think more or less said he wants to set up a construction business. Same in interests, he said he likes gaming, not selling crack to puppies. He also clearly likes exercise and fitness. I can see Sam's worries about his maturity at the start but he's been really trying! I quite like his ice breaking and shoey- ing- there is a social maturity and sensitivity behind that, trying to bring people together, checking on Holly etc.

Man ickspert saying "that quality of woman"... I have no words

At this point Dion is not helping himself, Carolina has been totally unambiguous about not being interested, shes not even been tactful about it. He should have just let her go and written leave.

WTF happened to Kate's voice "SQUEAK" I had to rewind to check no-one had let a balloon go off into the room! I can't even remember dear doormat anniversary perfume's name but of my dear you are a sucker for punishment, nothing is going to turn that tangfastic sucker Kate around, she recoiled to the other side of the sofa when he just put out a hand to comfort her.

Mitchella - is she so in love with his sprayed barnet that she can't see how he's controlling everything. Shock news partaking in a marriage ixperiment on the tellybox, which will involve cameras in your face, is a lot of pressure....this isn't a new show, that shouldn't be bloody news to them. Is he playing it up to cause a bit of drama around them as a couple (let's face it you get more air time) because I don't believe anyone could have been that naive

Pob telling people to just suck it up and pointing out the (few) success stories from MAfs...oh stop it you, my sides are hurting! I can imagine him asking the holy mafasaurus for forgiveness in his failure to match people....

Carolina I still don't get. I've had a look for her on insta and not sure if I've found the right account for her but there's not that many followers so why does she think she's so special? We've got nothing in common, no common ground between us....oh Dion, wonder if you should offer her breakfast a tiffanys...oh hold on, you don't do breakfast.... Alessandra called her out good, not that it will change anything she does or how she is.

So the clips for the coming week show great promise but I think we all know what the shock horror revelation is going to be and it involves the show's villianess and poor old 'you're stuck here for another week because of your own stupidity to write stay' Dion.

I'm in...I'm marching on ahead but as ever promise no spoilies, I've just got some real shite work tasks to do and having this chewing gum for my eyes in the background helps numb the pain

There was a really good point made above where Olivia seems to take the wrong side. I mean can she in all honesty condone Carolina's behaviour? If it was reversed would she have Dion's side I wonder?

But also...and this isn't a spoiler....A COUPLES RETREAT! What could possibly go wrong eh
