Be still my gnarly black heart. Love fest ‘coming soon’.

Get your pouts ready for the ‘gram and your flags at the ready 🇬🇧

I forgot to apply. But no doubt that will be a relief for the Producers.

There ain’t enough satin in the world to cover this harris.

And the veil could never hide my face well enough to stop my groom doing a Julia Roberts.

Maybe next time….

I'm not sure why Thomas and Adrian were matched. Adrian is just swamped by Thomas. Does it often happen in relationships that you have one super-extrovert, and a quiet mouse that balance each other out? I can't think of a couple that I know who are like that.

I think that means any time the experts talk about one partner balancing another that means it is instantly doomed.

The repetition in this series doesn't seem quite so bad so far as it was in the last series, but somehow it's going to last longer even with three of the first four couples looking like they're headed straight for the glue factory.

Who have we got left? Kasia, Jenna, Lara and Jess, to match up with Kwame, Zoe, Richie and PJay. That's Jenna/Zoe, most likely Lara/Richie (because of age), so I guess Kasia/Kwame and Jess/Pjay? Feel like I have very little sense of Kasia or Kwame yet - so I'm immediately pinning my hopes on them.

Can someone explain what coupon and pink wafer mean in a MAFS context please?

Nogaxeh · 30/08/2022 22:50

April is selling watches. They do look pretty good.

Watches? I wonder how many hands they have….

Seeing that the two on her new husband didn’t seem to be enough….

Sorry, the pink wafer thing was me - I’d said at the start of the thread that if I told the ixperts I liked dark chocolate digestives they’d match me with a pink wafer… (important to note I don’t like pink wafers, hence using it to signify a disappointing biscuit/spouse).

Coupon means face but I can’t remember why!

WishDragon · 31/08/2022 00:09

Haven’t watched tonight’s yet but am loving the twitter comments right now.

dapsnotplimsolls · 31/08/2022 00:29

Finally have my internet working again!

Adrian - are 'curtains' making a comeback?

George (?) - interesting that his relative knew his bride was Miss UK 2020 :)

I think everything else has been covered ....

Sporty2022 · 31/08/2022 05:43

Interesting that April was miss GB 2020. Weren’t we in lockdowns during most of that year?

I googled, the contest was a month before the first lockdown.

Doubleraspberry · 31/08/2022 07:37

Katie is in love with Adrian.

Doubleraspberry · 31/08/2022 07:38

And I assume George’s dad found out about the Miss GB thing from her friends/relations during the reception. It would be something to mention over the potato croquettes.

What's with the nasty 'American tan' scraggy tights around the top of her dress?!

I said the same to DH, it was a horrible dress!

Thank you! I even saw your bit about the French d'arc chocolate biscuits and giggled, but must have skimmed the pink wafer bit.

Has anyone seen the fella on Botched who is obsessed with one of them K-POP or whatever it's called , had plastic surgery and carries a cut out of ? JIM or JIN ? Now identifies as Korean - Adrian looks just like him and that love heart curtain fringe is doing him no favour, bit like his best mate Katie

It's going to be a good season I think 🤭

Haha yes know exactly who you mean!

Mumdiva99 · 31/08/2022 11:02

Ladies I'm late to the party but am now all caught up with the episodes. Can't wait to watch along with you again. Lovely to see some familiar faces here. (I said I wasn't going to get sucked in.....then watched a couple.....then popped over here to see who is watching and you all made me remember how much fun it is to watch together.)

Smorgasbordbaby · 31/08/2022 11:53

What's with all the dead nans this series? You can't move for 'em. I loved all my grandparents but I didn't throw a fit at my wedding about the dead ones not being there.

Thomas is already getting right on my nerves but fucking hell Katie, give it a rest love. Does anyone else think she's desperate for it to fail because she's in love with Thomas and is just holding out for the day he declares he's not gay and is in love with her?

I love George's very posh mum, I hope she pops up again even though that relationship is clearly not going to make it past week 2.

Definitely in love with Adrian - see my post above!

I am deeply unsympathetic and eyerolly about dead grandparents. It's sad to lose people you love but it's also a thing that happens as you get older. I had no grandparents OR parents left on my wedding day but managed to get through the day nonetheless.

TitsInAbsentia · 31/08/2022 12:44

Peep peep! Have only watched the first one so far but as ever LIVING for the commentary here you bloody superstars 😂 Disliked Titney Whitney from the off, she would have to go the very long way round to make me change my mind, Duka seems like a determined chap so, we'll see.

I did get the hint in the first bits that there was someone cheating but couldn't work out who, I think it's was a pre-requisite for someone to do that...you know, the one who's most likely too, the one who will whine they didn't get what they ordered, the one who can only smile on the inside because their coupon has been stuffed with 'tox and filla....

Notcoolmum · 31/08/2022 14:03

Aw I blubbed my way through the northern couple with the dead Nan and single mums. They seemed lovely.

Katie was awful!! I didn't blame Thomas for kicking off. But I agree he's a bit much as he admits. Love his mum though. The clip shows them having a fabulous honeymoon 😂

How has someone cheated between the wedding and the honeymoon?! Can't wait for tonight's!

Yamyam13 · 31/08/2022 14:10

I think maybe the preview with the 'cheating' lines was cleverly edited to mislead us.
I reckon he's discovered she cheated on an ex in the PAST and he has a big issue with that as it has happened to him in the PAST.
He says 'April's been intimate with somebody else'
'I've been cheated on'
If you listen carefully, it sounds like it's snippets of lines pieced together, with the footage of him upset saying 'fuuccck' also thrown in.

Doubleraspberry · 31/08/2022 14:15

I thought Thomas was a judgemental prat who likes to insult and criticise others under the guise of humour but wouldn't like the same treatment in return.

Yup, good on Curtains for calling him out on the 'tall, dark and handsome' comment!

That is absolutely the way I picked it up.

dapsnotplimsolls · 31/08/2022 15:03

Dammit, you're both probably right. I was looking forward to a list of possible suspects - baggage handler, hotel porter, bloke in room next door etc
