Basically, im on episode 23 and cant keep
It in.
Olivia - pure, pure evil
Dom - was wrong to smash glass but has called out every abusive/shit character on it.
Tamara - really growing on me which has suprised me
Al - lovely
Samantha - did anyone else not think that what she did to him over the kiss was fucked up?
Ella - best person in there and only person who was interested in a true version of what happened at girls night: shes my fave.
Im sure this may all change again, but cannot explain the contempt i have for olivia right now!

Dom is getting legal advice so I doubt she'd go to the effort of doing so if it was because of the editing.

Febrier · 18/03/2022 12:28

Some of it will be editing. And I reckon the producers would have sent her the picture to stir things up.

I agree about the editing. We're all being manipulated. However, I think Olivia found the photo herself. She said she'd googled Dominica.

Egghead68 · 18/03/2022 12:38

Yes, it’s clearly not all editing, but the producers will be hyping it up to be as bad as possible (and probably will have been shit-stirring behind the scenes).

She said in a radio interview (I am over invested in this show!) that the picture was from Reddit and “appeared on her phone” but also said on the show that she googled, so it’s hard to know what happened.

Blossomtoes · 18/03/2022 13:03

It “appeared” on her phone? Yes, of course it did. She’s really not helping herself.

@brittanyfairies

The thing is, we could argue a lot of Olivia's behaviour is down to editing but nobody makes her say those terrible words. The amount of times she used the phrase "white trash" was substantial, and also talking about being of a much higher class than Dom. If you don't say them you they can't be included in editing.

I really hope that the experts step up this year and really give the group a bollocking. Alessandra doesn't mince her words and she's quite happy to speak out and this year John seems to be doing more experting than in previous years.

This. Who goes around shouting 'white trash'? I realised, narcs go around doing the very thing they blame others for doing.

We can question whether Ella not being shown the photo was maybe manipulated by the producers, they knew she would tell Dom and thus there would be no dinner table drama, but equally Olivia appears perfectly capable of making that choice because it's very clear she thought she was going to make trouble between Dom and Jack.

The photo did actually fall onto my computer screen, but only when I accidentally clicked on it in the sidebar of shame Grin

Did you see the whole thing? I only saw the head part
brittanyfairies · 18/03/2022 16:26

Thank you for sharing the interview with Domenica, she comes across extremely intelligent and articulate and I'm delighted that people are giving her so much support. It must be so validating for her to go out to get a coffee and for strangers to support her.

I think Jackson's comments do not come across well at all in the interview. So much for not being able to deal with Olivia's mean side.

brittanyfairies · 18/03/2022 16:27

@ozmi no just the head part, I don't want to see the whole lot.

She looks very pretty in the photo though

Febrier · 18/03/2022 17:34

Exactly. I google this series pretty much daily and haven't seen the photo.

Thank you for that. It entirely endorses my view of Dom. I’m particularly delighted she’s receiving so much online support.

Sagealicious · 18/03/2022 19:05

I call bullshit that Olivia found the photo on Reddit. If it had been put on there it would have gone viral and we would have all seen it long before all this erupted.

SpicePumpkin · 18/03/2022 19:09

Interesting that the whole cast have turned off all comments on Instagram posts relating to MAFS and limited commenting on any older ones. I've never noticed them doing it in previous series.

PugInTheHouse · 19/03/2022 08:52

I am on episode 24, I cannot believe how vile Olivia is, I am not good at reading people early on. She is actually one of the nastiest people I have seen on any series, at least the previous bitches have had the decency to not try and hide what they were!!!

streamee · 19/03/2022 15:29

They're so harsh to Al. They're all basically saying he should change who he is to please Sam. If that was the other way round, there would be uproar

Febrier · 19/03/2022 17:50

I think it’s because (at first) her requests were pretty basic. Eg please don’t drink out of your shoe.

Blossomtoes · 19/03/2022 18:00

They ramped up when her dad laid into him. She seemed pretty happy with him before that. I think he’s lovely - if only I was 40 years younger and lived in Australia …
peggypogpeg · 19/03/2022 18:35

I agree that since the parents asked those questions, sam pretty much wrote him off.

peggypogpeg · 19/03/2022 18:37

And i also think that what she did with the kissing thing when she made out he forced her afterwards was awful. Is that ok to say? Dont want to victim shame but it just didnt look the way she explained it afterwards.
No wonder he doesnt know when/if to touch her. I think shes not good for him

Febrier · 19/03/2022 19:21

They’re just a complete mismatch from the beginning.
Good knows why anyone other than an insta-wannabe would go on this programme nowadays.

Ozmi · 19/03/2022 20:05

Who's excited for tomorrow?Grin

Blossomtoes · 19/03/2022 20:19

Oh God, me! I can’t wait to see the experts lay into everyone other than Dom, Jack or Ella!

Febrier · 19/03/2022 21:08

I actually briefly thought this morning, “yes, it’s Saturday!” because that meant only one more day until MAFS Blush

SugarPlumber · 19/03/2022 21:39

I woke up thinking it was Sunday.

Then the disappointment hit :(

I need to get a life!
