MAFS UK is a coming - and probably sponsored by pommiebears

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….

Signing in for duty! I watched last series on a delay so never got the opportunity to join in, but this year I'm in real time

Chanita and Jordan seem very sweet. Probably the Adam and Tayah of this season, but I don't get the slightly bunny boiler-esq vibes from Chanita that I felt Tayah had.

George and April - hmm. April is known on the circuit for reality tv and I think despite coming across as 'humble' she's actually sort of looking for fame. I couldn't work out why, as a bridal designer, she had such a hideous top part of her dress I think she wants to find love but is massively head back by baggage. George is vulnerable and I actually think he's a bit OTT/aggressive. April seemed to be upfront with her need for space (totally understandable) and he took it as a massive insult - the passive aggressive moment about space and then flouncing off with his suitcase was red flag central for me. That said, who the fuck kisses someone for a date on honeymoon

Adrian and Thomas - this has friendship written all over it. Thomas doesn't find Adrian attractive whatsoever. Adrian looks like a 90s throwback bless him. Thomas needs to learn that dishing out comments means you're gonna have to accept ones in response without being prissy. I do think he's on it for the right reasons though.

Whitney and Duka - fuck me. I was all for giving Whitney the benefit of the doubt but she is pretty much emotionally abusing Duka from the bat - admitting that she provokes him to show his 'real side'. This comes undoubtably from a place of fear - she's terrified of getting to know and fallen for someone who may be completely different and she's pushing Duka to see if he'll tolerate her behaviour. It's still abusive though. Having baggage doesn't excuse you for being a dick. The ring fiasco was a joke - she didn't lose it accidentally, she lost it on purpose and tried to provoke a reaction out of Duka. That said, I think she may be write that he's one person on camera and another off of it - to be fair, this is quite normal.

Phewf

See, I thought George’s sulkiness when April said she needed a bit of time alone was deeply unattractive and the flouncing with a suitcase was a red flag. He seemed very controlling. But then it was hard to know what he was reacting to as at first it seemed that she was suggesting a short time apart (eg a morning) which is pretty reasonable, and it’s hard to know whether she actually wanted a lot longer, or she disappeared as a result of his strop. The kiss seemed to come out of some game they were both playing rather than just her but again editing made it hard to tell.

I think she’s quite irritating and in no way in this show to find a real relationship but he is also giving me bad vibes now.

I thought it was good that Adrian and Thomas and the producers brought it back from the edge but they have no chance at all.

Whitney shouldn’t be in this but I also wonder how true what she’s saying is. She has no filter so it doesn’t seem like she’d outright make up Duka telling her he’s playing to the edit. But she is doing herself no favours at all.

Possibly unpopular opinion but I kind of get where whitney is coming from a bit- Duka hasn't really shown much of his personality/ opinions and the way he just agrees and goes along with stuff would annoy me too. That said she definitely does have issues and hasn't come on the show with an open mind and open heart.

Well, I have to apologize to April for judging her on the basis of the preview - when will I ever learn? George appears to be very insecure, probably as a result of his divorce, and it's making him very erratic. I don't know if he can stay on an even keel for long enough for April to feel comfortable with him.

I do wonder about the editing for Whitney and Duka. Can someone really be that relentlessly awful? What if they've edited out all her nice bits?

Thomas and Adrian, at least they were able to talk things through. If you can talk things through you have a chance.

Jordan and Chanita are going great, but I worry. Why did their previous relationships fail? What if he isn't genuine?

How much more pleasant was Thomas when he toned it down? I can't bear all that performance, loudness, excessive flamboyance crap. Once he stopped and started to quieten his voice and actions, he was altogether a nicer chap. Hope he learns that from this process.

DH and I spend the entire show trying to work out who the blond gay chap reminds us of. Once we've figure it out we might be able to concentrate more but at the moment we can't 🙄🤣

He has a slight air of Niles from Frasier I think.

I've just figured it out.
Adrian was separated at birth from his identical twin CODY who was on MAFSAUS last season.
Yeah
Can't un-see it now.

HTH!

Oh, same bad hair. Good spot. Hopefully less of an prick though. Metaphorically.

What does “coupon” mean? 😊

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coupon

Coupon is face - I had to Google why though!

George seems like a very sensitive person and has some massive baggage left over from from his divorce (?) that he hasn't dealt with... he's coming across a little needy & desperate unfortunately which is probably what's putting April off.
I do wonder how his teenage daughter feel about his participation in this show..

Whitney.. well I have no words. Though there is something about Duka... I can't put my finger on it, but he does come across a little like he's trying toooo hard which is maybe what she's getting at when she says he's fake?
But honestly, she is coming across as a straight up bully at the moment.

If I was dealing with someone like Whitney, I would too agree with and to everything as I would be too scared not to in case she loses her shit at me.

Duka probably tries too hard because he just isn't getting anywhere with Whitney. She started rolling her eyes at him the moment she saw him- he never stood a chance with her.

That's what it looks like. If he wasn't trying so hard the only other possible response would be to agree with Whitney that the whole thing was absurd and they should give up and go home.

Thomas. Called it before it started.
He has got right on my tits.
So one saggy baggy pair of said appendages are for sale.

More performative than Judi Dench in the Globe.

With his hands flapping about, I just want to burst into ‘head shoulders knees and toes…’

MrsP. Adrian reminds me so much on someone and I can’t get it.
I keep coming back to a blond Pete Wicks. It is driving me nuts. He is someone’s doppel and I can’t pin him.

Loving Jordan and Chanita.
I’m scared to hope. Turkey twizzlers and chips? Novel.

April feels a bit disingenuous.
Kiss or no. Another performative.
All abound ‘the brand’.

He is intense. And if my tits weren’t on the market, he’d be swinging off them with Thomas.

He seems cross that she isn’t fawning over him. That kind of petulance is just as attractive as a raging bushful of crabs.

I’ve got a touch of the Eddie Eagles about him but a creepy version thereof. And the tears over someone he’s known a whole three fucking minutes?

That left me numb and cold you big Fanny.

I want to like Whitney.
I’m trying really hard. But I caaaaaantuh. Cos she’s draaaaaaaawlinguh. And she is a hoor o a nippy sweetieuh.

Duka isn’t sitting right with me.
I’m not sure why. I’d love him to use his words.

Fuck off Whit would be a good start.

H from steps?

And speaking of Whitney, why does she keep going on about a man like a 'brick house'?

Brick shithouse love, get it right. Brick outhouse if you're on the telly like, I suppose.

While I'm on, I'm glad I'm not mates with that 'good to talk' woman who keeps popping up in the breaks. God she annoys me in thirty seconds never mind any longer listening to her wanging on.

@ballsdeep I had a boyfriend in the 90's with that hairdo. Twas all the rage at the time and he was prize catch. Not so much now though.

I’m watching again on tv.

Im a bit confused why they cut Chanita saying ‘happy ending’ but are showing trailer ad for that gross send nudes show.

Potential Adrian lookalikes. Billy the Archdeacon out of Corrie when he's being Very Concerned about Summer? Or how about an anxious, poundshop Jeremy Irons?

I'm so far behind already I preferred when it was one episode a week

Nope, still not a match for look a like!! Driving me NUTS!!!

I don’t know why but he reminds me of Nick Cotten

There's only one person Adrian reminds me of
