MAFSAUS9 - the Zippit thread with no spoilers, no teasers and no budgie smugglers. There may be a cockinteal… E4UK PACE

I’ve saged.

@PoseyFlump

I've done something terrible. Im so ashamed. I've cheated. I've let myself down and I've betrayed the thread. I... I can't say it. I watched ahead one.

I must now retire to reflect on my actions and work on myself and not come back tomorrow until you are all caught up but ultimately I've decided to..... stay.

Obviously some of it is @chocolatesaltyballs22 fault for being on holiday!

I take full responsibility for deserting by fellow MNers and driving them to this shameful behaviour.

(Have checked hotel telly and there is no E4, may have to complain to The Management)

Did you see the screen shots of Olivia's facebook posts back in 2010? I appreciate it was ages ago and she must have been very young but they are absolutely awful. It looks like she has had problematic behaviour for a long time.

No, as I am trying to avoid too many spoilers. What did they say?

@dillite a lot of calling people 'f'ing whores and worse, like full threads of vicious ranting about people..

Quite right. I think you should be banished to somewhere hot and beautiful where all the drinks are free...oh wait.

And the programme paired her with a man who experienced domestic abuse growing up. That's outrageous.

Couldn't agree more @LosingTheWill2022. I don't think the 'that's just the way I am' excuse is going to wash with Jackson long term.

Hi! Can I join in please. I don't know anyone else I can discuss MAFS with.

There are so many awful people in this series I don't even know where to begin. I wish they would give up with the whole "secret affair" between Daniel and Carolina. It's soooo cringe the way they try and film these encounters in a style to make it look like they're being caught out and the level of conversation is embarrassing. Carolina is like a sulky teenager and Daniel is just an absolute goon. Shame as I thought he might be ok to begin with. They must be so desperate for reality fame that they don't care how bad they look, as long as they're on TV.

It hasn't been highlighted much in recent episodes but I'm really disappointed for Selina too. She deserves so much more than she's getting.

I wonder if there are any viewers that are on Olivias side? It's possible she's even more disliked than Bryce. I wish some of the girls spoke up a little more when she was heavily exaggerating what Dom did. Ella seemed like the only one to stand in while the other girls just sat there like nodding dogs.

Aaargh! Joined the wrong thread by mistake & was reading a comment but not understanding at all! Then I realised I was on the spoilers thread. Luckily I didn't understand the comment so it won't spoil my viewing!!
I am so proud of myself for not cheating and watching tonight's episode (although I nearly caved on a number of occasions). Looks like the shit is going to hit the fan at the ceremony tonight. I just hope Olivia and her head wobble get taken down a peg (or few thousand!).

I’m all caught up now.

I’m astounded at Olivia’s behaviour. It’s almost psychotic. She’s very chilling. If nothing else Jackson is going to watch this back so even if she manages to manipulate him during the experiment surely the scales have to fall at some point?

I know it's been mentioned upthread but as a reminder, don't forget there's a 2nd 35-minute episode tonight at 10pm on E4. I'm assuming there's too much footage from the commitment ceremony to fit it all in the normal length episode!

I was confused about the other girls too @Cocobeau. I think Olivia had convinced them it happen just as she says. She's very forceful in her perspective to the extent I think the others are kind of nodding along assuming they missed something. I'm looking forward to everyone seeing Olivia's behaviours played back.

Does anyone else get the sense that Matt is acting half the time? I get a strong sense that he is deliberate hamming things up, behaving in a cringe manner and sort of pretending he is oblivious to the fact Kate has clearly got the ick.

Wondering if his strategy is just to stay in the end by declaring adoration for Kate regardless of how she treats him - to get maximum publicity.

@SolarPortrait he's either acting or is he is a total goon

How he could say " yeah it's going great , we are chatting fine , we get along great "

Just no 😂

I think with Olivia it's something like repeating an event over and over so that you believe it's truth and in turn aim to make everyone else do the same. I'm sure there's a proper psych term for it. I'm not surprised that some nasty old fb posts have turned up, you don't become that bitter and twisted overnight, it's a lifetime's work!

Tamara will get her comeuppance for the nastyness towards Brent. Snotty cow.

I think Matt is either a closet, functioning or almost alcoholic. He doesn't really care about Tangfastic and the moment he felt a tiny bit secure bang he got wasted.

And I see far too much of my younger self in Dom for comfort. I think her love language is very confused with men wanting sex with her and she needs some therapy. She's incredibly kind and can't bear injustice but really doesn't need to always jump in it makes her look gibby and judgemental learning to take a breath and reflect would make her much happier.

Never mind Dom and Liv, can someone please explain the toast thing? :)

Never mind Dom and Liv, can someone please explain the toast thing? its a revelation, you arrange your toast in a pyramid with the slices standing up against each other. Ill never have a soggy toast bottom again .
Unless Sam turns into one of Olivia's mean girls, her and Brent would be good together.

IT'S TIME!

Aha - thank you! I want to watch The Split tonight so MAFSing now.

I've been doing toast pyramid for so many years now I can't remember how I first learnt it. My parents don't do it. But both me and DP do so maybe I pinched it off him 25 years ago!

He instantly reminded me of Murray from Flight of the Conchords.

No, what did it say?
