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

[SheldonesqueTheBstard]

I’ve saged.

I hate Andrew with a fiery passion. Praying that the experts take him down at the commitment ceremony and really take the others to task for their behaviour towards Holly too. They don't like her and that's why they're so willing to buy Andrew's bullshit.

It's not often that someone on TV makes every fibre of my body feel repulsion but Andrew does just that. He is completely and utterly disgusting. Knows exactly how to manipulate the room. Knows all the right things to say to look good but you can see that there's no sincerity in anything. His eyes have "I will destroy you" ice cold look. He hasn't said a single genuine thing on the show.
When I was watching Anthony sit there and look at Andrew with disgust, I was hoping that he would call him out for his bullshit. But sadly no. Or perhaps it got edited out.
Holly should never have been on the show. She's much too fragile and in turn flustered. Which plays right into Psycho Andrew's hands as he gets to make her look as the unreasonable one.
For his daughter's sake, I hope that he has no involvement in her life. Because he will fuck her up mentally.
Also, did you see how enamoured Tamara was over Andrew? She was literally shining at the sight of him and the chance to defend him. I bet he is exactly what she deems as a suitable partner for her- high flying, collected. I am not surprised that Brent is constantly losing it- she looks at him with complete contempt. And the constant ring/ nail twirling when speaking to him is horrible- it's a body language of someone who is only there and is speaking to someone because they have to.
Mitch is a dick.
Al. He is adorable. Like a puppy, really hard to hate that.

Another lurker who was surprised by Jackson and Liv’s attitude to Holly. I would have thought that having to live through his mum being a victim of DV, he would have some experience of observing abusive men manipulating a situation, but neither they (or the rest of the group for that matter) seemed to think that Andrew may be bullshitting.

I really like Anthony and Al as personalities. As a pp said, I’m not convinced that Cody is genuinely romantically interested in Selina. Their intimacy task was cringey to watch.

They don't like her and that's why they're so willing to buy Andrew's bullshit.

This. This. This.

I have watched ahead as I’m busy next week so I’m not going to comment on this thread in case I slip up!

@Bytrgrewd what platform did you watch ahead on?

I don't like Andrew or Holly. He is vile and manipulative, I think she is coming across fairly unpleasant also. I find it very strange how much the others are taking his side though. They seem quite fickle as a group and very quick to take sides without hearing both sides of the story.

Al is really trying, I am not sure they will work out as a couple but they do seem to be giving a go.

Andrew cleverly manipulated the group against Holly. He’s a vile gaslighting poor excuse for a human being. 🤮

Southhemi tv

I haven't watched this series from the beginning, but wonder how the experts decided to put Andrew and Holly together? She is desperate to start a family. That seems to be a priority. Why put her with someone who doesn't want a baby?
I have also noticed how when there are arguments, you see the argument but no evidence of who is right or wrong. I am thinking of the ones arguing about turning the TV down. They were obviously being filmed so we could have seen immediately, if one was being unreasonable. Sorry, I don't know names, and am not googling to find out as I am sure there will be spoilers out there!
Am I allowed to mention the experts eyebrow? It seems to be getting higher into her hairline every time she is in shot?

I just don't think Holly cares who it is that they matched her with, it comes across as she is desperate for a baby and of someone showed her any interest she'd fall for them. I agree it is the strangest match.

Thank you for this real time UK thread Sheldon. Very much appreciated.
Not long to wait for the next load of Aussie Tosh!

@PugInTheHouse I was wondering why she didn't just go and do IVF

She wants that baby so much I'd have thought that a better option for her ?

Yes I thought exactly the same!!

@coldfeetmama Holly said that she could have IVF but that she wanted first to try and find a partner.

Do we actually know Andrew told the producers he didn't want kids or did he just say that to hurt Holly? Along with the 'you're crap in bed' insults. I suspect we didn't see all of his nastiest too until it was too bad not to show.

I would (naively, perhaps) have though that during the initial selection procedure there would be questions like "do you want children?" asked. It seems such a basic requirement.
I'd also hope they checked out participants feelings about existing children.

I actually think they should probably exclude anyone who has children - it seems uncommonly cruel to involve them.

@FuzzyPuffling I agree. Which is why I'm more inclined to believe Andrew said it to be spiteful and hadn't actually ruled it out initially. Besides, it's selfish to expect a young childless woman not to want a child just because you've got one from a previous relationship. I wonder why he's single 🤔

Ah thank you for that @PoseyFlump I must have nodded off at that bit 😂

Thanks for starting this thread, I had the other one in 'threads I'm on' and caught a glimpse of something that has given the game away. 🤬

Can I ask what is the latest episode available on uk tv? One of my kids has done something to my tv and I can’t find More4 where I normally do. I found 4 catch-up a different way but it all looks so different I can’t work out if I am missing something!

I feel sorry for Ella, Mitch is seemingly just there to improve his media profile and has no emotional maturity whatsoever.
I’m shipping for Ella to get together with Brent, Tam is a mean girl of the highest order and she can just f off into the sunset, preferably with the Texan cauliflower in the interests of karma.

Fandangoes - it's All4 now. If you get that up, it'll show which episodes have been aired for season 9.

Dom - sorry not sorry to Ant. The turn around re Andrew. Shocker. 🤨

Not sure who designated her group gobshite but it is a role she has adopted with vigour. 🙂

Everyone called Andrew for the hole he was after the commitment ceremony. And now he has gone in first and I’m a good soul I am and I’m a failure yadda yadda. And I cry with no tears. Sniffysniffy.

Tamara? Respectful in what he said last week? He practically said he could shag a cup and feel it more. Respectful? Ma arse.

And I’ve been weepy Pete and huggywuggies? Blinder mate. Blinder.
I need to work on myself sniffysniff.

What an absolute cunt.

And did you notice he addressed the camera and not the group at times?

He fucked her right over. And I bet he felt fucking something doing that. He was well and truly present there.

He’d have been that pleased with himself that he’d have been harder than Fermat’s Last Theorem.

And Olivia and Jackson with the pantomime concern and theatre faces. And bigger person shit.

And now I’m distracted by Jackson because he has a mouth like a baboon’s arse. It is red.

Liv is a drama vampire. She is the embodiment of Colin Robinson.

Holly made the statement by moving her chair by Christ. I’d be asking myself what was so bad that she couldn’t even sit with him.

And yet the group sit there fluffing Andrew to the point of no return.

And yes she absolutely looked bad. I’m sad she couldn’t find her words.
And they can’t see the manipulation. He looks reasonable. And he is more Bundy than Bunty. He is.

And the sisterhood let her down. Bar one really. Big style.

Yes she is intense but tae fuck.

At least Dom picked up something. I’ll give her props for that. Thank fuck.

And the rage on his face when she called him out? How I wish others had heard Dom question him.

And I wish they’d seen the disdain on his face flashing when Holly was talking.

Tam wouldn’t as she’d be taking him to the finish line like Red Rum.

Nice to see Selin stand up though. And Ant. I just wish it had been MORE.

Time to go home is it Andra? See ya. Wouldn’t want to be ya. Or be number 352.

Wtf Mitch? You’ve got one eye on the gram and another on Twitter. You have a good lass there. and I suspect that is a part of the problem

And Al. Bloody hell. What a poppet. Useless but kind 🙂. But guru Al? Nope. Bless. Guru Holly and the brushing by?

Al is going to crack open the cupboard, get it all wrong and whip out a sweeping brush. And a dustpan.

Liv telling Holly she wasn’t adult? Oh my my.

Says the person who plays with dolls …. that live in the wardrobe and have pins in them
