I don't think people normally start real panic attacks by saying "I'm going to have a panic attack". It was far more like a tantrum.

I can’t believe it but I am warming to Kate 🤣

I'm still lukewarm but I did notice she was backing away from Liv last night and she did make a positive comment about Dom's apology.

PoseyFlump · 31/03/2022 12:27

And it's bloody Thursday which means a long wait till Monday if they don't get to the good reveals tonight!

What was the bridesmaid comment Olivia made? I’m so shocked at her behaviour. When she commented on Olivia’s apology at one of the newer weddings - ‘an apology with a but is an excuse’ - I thought her new relationship had made her a bit smug. Now I realise this was the start of all this

Smorgasbordbaby · 31/03/2022 13:08

Does anyone know if they get paid for being on MAFS or is it just a springboard to get paid for exclusive interviews, instagram content, modelling, etc?
Also what do they all do about their day jobs when they're on the show? Do they have filming days where they have to be in their flat and days where they live their normal lives and do their jobs? Or do they just have to take open-ended leave?

I think in context, Dom was actually using "but" instead of "also" when Liv pulled her up on it, so Liv's point wasn't even valid.

She said that a good friend had asked her to be bridesmaid but chose a horrible brown dress. After a while the friend asked what she thought of the dress and she said she hated it and didn't know why she was making her dress like a giant poo. The friend was really upset and asked Olivia to send the dress back to her so Olivia cut it into pieces and posted it back. She was really proud of herself for being such a childish twat Hmm

@Prinnny

Wow not keen on any of the newbies! Matt is cringe but doesn’t deserves Kates horror or facial expressions. Carolina is a princess and clearly thinks Dion isn’t good enough for her but might be willing to give him a go based on how rich he is! Dan is very intense, I saw that he’s a replacement groom as Jess was initially matched and married to someone else but then his shady past was revealed so he had to be swiftly removed and she was remarried but it never gets brought up on the show!
What? Where did you read about this??
whoturnedthesunoff · 31/03/2022 15:38

Which manager can we complain to ?
Thursday to Monday is just not good enough ! Far too long to wait 🤣

Expatlynd · 31/03/2022 15:52

I watched the final episode on Tuesday and can't wait for the reunion on Sunday and Monday...promise no spoilers....mafs is my guilty pleasure, I don't know anyone else that watches 😅

20viona · 31/03/2022 16:08

I HATE Olivia! So glad to see her holier than thou crown getting shattered she just seems like the most vile person, that bridesmaid dress story was shocking!

I'm pretty sure they do get paid which is why some say stay when you expect them to leave. They're after the dollar and Instagram fame. Sometimes the couples have colluded to stay as long as possible if one or both want the money. I expect Dan is getting paid to hang around by production too. Makes a joke of it really.

dapsnotplimsolls · 31/03/2022 16:19

I missed the first few weeks - what was Olivia like at the start?

They get expenses of 150 dollars per day apparently and most don’t go back to their day jobs no.

PinkSyCo · 31/03/2022 16:48

Quiet and very sweet….. almost sickeningly so. Apparently she used to be overweight and I’m sure she said she was bullied for it, so I’m surprised that it turns out that she is a bully.

Interesting, thank you!

I’m watching lasts night’s on catch up and I’m finding it really hard to watch.

Olivia is absolutely awful and it’s making me feel really uncomfortable.

bonkersbirdie · 31/03/2022 18:02

@Expatlynd there's a spoiler thread here for those of us who have watched ahead

MAFS - WITH spoilers do not read if you DONT want spoilers!! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/4504042-mafs-with-spoilers-do-not-read-if-you-dont-want-spoilers

dontmesswithmymoxie · 31/03/2022 19:37

There she goes again. Turning on the tears when Jackson names it.

She'll turn on him if he refuses to accept her nastiness, and he'll get it too.

AlfieandAnnieRose · 31/03/2022 19:39

@dapsnotplimsolls all the earlier episodes are on 4od. I think I may go back and watch the first few episodes again, it’s always interesting re-watching it once you know who they are, their personalities etc.

PlasticineMeg · 31/03/2022 19:41

Has anyone else noticed a stark difference between this series and the previous ones, especially in the Spoonface/twin bride series?

  • Suddenly everyone is totally obsessed with sex and who’s doing it. Was never mentioned in earlier seasons
  • It used to be that contestants couldn’t speak during commitment ceremonies and now it’s not just allowed but seemingly encouraged
  • Lots of women perpetuating the bitchy girl stereotype. I don’t know any women like that! Is it editing, manipulation, winding them up behind the scenes?
  • Ixperts being dicks to contestants. Yes some deserve it but last week Selina being told she is playing some part in Cody’s shitty of her made me furious
PlasticineMeg · 31/03/2022 19:42

I’m only on Tuesday’s episode but here’s my two penny worth:

  • Tamara and Brent - agree with PP would love to see more of them. But is suspect Brent is a real moody bastard
  • Sam and Al. I adore Al, he’s really grown on me. And he’s right about Sam not being able to take criticism. She’s a bit stuck up methinks like her parents. If my daughter brought home a lovely lad like him then I wouldn’t give 2 figs that he played video games. I can’t believe John berated him for it - was he supposed to lie to her parents?!
  • Dion (not including Caroline as she’s a cowbag) - lovely man and I love a man comfortable enough to have an outlandish dress sense
  • Carolina and Dan - totally staged. When he greeted her on that date, kissed and groped her he was staring at the camera the entire time. I also think he looks so much like Bing Bong from Inside Out that I can’t concentrate on his weird boring face. Jess had the measure of him
  • Dom and Jack. She’s really grown on me - initially I thought she was a gobshite but do you know what, more outspoken women in the world please. Less of Olivia’s idea of a nice pliant quiet lady. Jack I think is too much of a child. I don’t think Don said anything too bad to the girls except what we already knew, that Jack wasn’t jumping her bones in the way she wanted him too. And he slink of and laid in the couch feeling sorry for himself, then not really hearing her out. I also cannot believe he’s the same age as Al. He looks 46 not 26!
  • Kate and Matt - weird, the pair of them. She’s a professional miser but also him with the “I cry watching the notebook” is a bit annoying
  • Cody and Selina - she’s amazing, beautiful inside and out, and he’s seriously punching yet he’s the only one who can’t see it. The whole “I like blonde, surfy girl” - Selina is blonde. What he means is “I want a white woman”. What on earth makes him think he’s good enough for the blonde surfy girls anyway.
  • Liv and Jackson. What. A. Bitch. I kind of agreed with her when she told Dom to wind her neck in but she’s turned into a total psycho, and what is the chicken head twitch about? Reminds me of school bullies. The way she boasted (lied) about the sex when Dom had expressed problems in her own sex life was cruel. With people like Liv, the wolves in sheep’s clothing, they push and push but remain level headed, and a person who is less level headed then smashes a glass and all of a sudden they are the bad guy. While the wolf gets away with everything because they just said words but didn’t do . I hope Jackson wises up.
dontmesswithmymoxie · 31/03/2022 19:43

@PlasticineMeg interesting idea. Today for the first time I was thinking similar to the Jeremy Kyle style of T.V.

KimCheese · 31/03/2022 19:49

I was going to ask the same about the women this time around - is it editing or is this part of a new culture emerging. Like a race to the bottom with shit men. Beat them at their own game before you get hurt.
