MAFSUK7 thread 3...NO SPOILER THREAD...Tom's eyebrows wagging, Gemma not shagging and Jenna is...still a vegan.

[TitsInAbsentia]

On to the next thread...please don't post anything on here that hasn't been shown on the telly box, or hint at there being something 'out there' on insta or the daily snail cause we'll have to report it and get it removed so as not to ruin any surprises that are around the corner, despite this season being of little surprise so far. Those that want more gossip and info will find it without guidance!
Sheldoninabsentia...but hoping for a return....

I agree with @MelodyPondsMum

whilst George clearly has issues, the contentious issue is that April lied about her last reality TV romance. If you met someone on reality TV, who had been on reality TV before, I think it would take a very strong person NOT to Google them. Even if you didn’t, all your mates would. It was a stupid thing to lie about and she got caught out.

Both very good points @Doubleraspberry.

I guess the biggest issue (as with literally everything else this series) is actually that we have no clue what she said because we didn't see the conversation 😭
She actually said to him last night that she had avoided saying much because she knew he'd question every detail about it

It was v amusing when he was talking about his 5 heartbeats and he was v emotional, with his naked fruit portrait right next to him 😅

Completely agree with @Doubleraspberry - this is about control. George is accusing her of looking at other men, accusing her of lying about her past, demanding constant reassurance. I don't particularly like April, but he has the makings of a dangerous man. In one of the first few episodes where she asked for some space you could see the rage bubbling under the surface, and again last night. She's walking on eggshells, always placating him and that's not ok. I get that he says he's been hurt in the past but is that more to do with his perception of cheating/lying or was he actually cheated on?

There's definitely more to all this than we are seeing!

Also, if he wanted to know her date of birth - why didn't he just ask her??

Absolutely. We didn’t see it, April is clearly a bit of a player, but at the same time based on what we have actually seen, you can see why she would want to minimise stuff about her past given his reactions. And if she feels like that now, imagine a few months in? Being scared to mention that she’d spoken to someone she knows, or met a new person.

Yy to George he is very controlling and emotionally manipulative I think he's already reeled April in much as I do t like her she needs to "go the fuck out"

dont not do.

April did snog someone else on their honeymoon ... oh no, most men would like that! oh no, it was just a game! oh no, it wasn't a snog, it was a kiss! oh no, it wasn't a kiss, it was a peck! oh no, George didn't see it, she told him about it!

George had real trust, control and neediness issues before he came on but April's actions haven't helped. They make each other worse. His controlling causes her to lie. Her lying makes him needier. His neediness makes her lie even more. It's a vicious circle. The least of their problems is that he looked at the internet. Everyone who is dating, does an internet search on the person.

Yeah, they're a bad match.

When she said that only his feelings seem to matter, he looked furious and her voice turned to a whisper when she reiterated it. V uncomfortable.

I'm not excusing her actions on honeymoon at all, but again we didn't see "the kiss" (or peck or whatever it actually was). His behaviour on the other hand we are actually seeing, and it is coercive and it is toxic and very damaging. They should never have been put together and I think she needs to get out now.

George has more issues than vogue, I feel suffocated just watching him! And god yes to whoever said he looks like he’s constantly passing a kidney stone 😂

I’m torn with Whitney, I get she finds Duka fake cos it’s all simple niceties but if she won’t open up and engage how can they ever develop that deeper connection. Interested to watch it play out with Matt at the couples retreat!

I love love Thomas and Adrian, they were hilarious with Soph and Jonty, who has massively gone down in my opinion! Fucking horse legs, cheeky twat!

How dare you call Jonty cheeky? If you bring him your medical files, a GP's note and a report from a consultant signed in triplicate, he may be ok with your horse legs

Someone please enlighten me as to why George has LIED and said he googled Aprils birthdate (just fucking ask) and ended up searching the internet for her relationships. That's such a bare faced lie, he went scooping for her - of course he'd know her birthday 😂

And when you google her name and "birth date", it definitely doesn't bring up loads of stuff about her ex on wiki, as he claimed 😬 It literally gives her birthdate 🙈

Some posters on here are doing more research than the experts

Yes, agree. We saw him saying that he came back to the hot tub and 'it was obvious that some intimacy had occurred' or something like that - we don't know why it was obvious. We know no details, and no context, other than April is trying to minimise it, and given George's reactions, you can see why. She very clearly never considered it infidelity, but people have different boundaries, so that doesn't mean much objectively.
We do see April being devious and manipulative with the others, so she's no angel.

Last episode proves why I cannot stand Matt. It's nothing to do with the Gemma situation, it's because he talks with his mouth open and interrupts everyone. And the moment Gemma said she was walking away he was a piece of shit.

A lot of grace extended to some people for their hurts and insecurities and pain that makes them act in unhealthy ways while others get criticized and name called. The grace is very selective on here! Some of you are doing mental gymnastics to turn people into victims or evil beings based on a few minutes of TV.

Love/hate week? What next, one of those little paper snappy things with numbers and colours and little tasks on the inside?

GEORGE GOOGLED HER DATE OF BIRTH!! Of fuck off...this 'relationship' has no legs, not even little ant legs...she was on that Cabins programme as well wasn't she, forgot about that. She must be pining for Take me Out to make a comeback! Pointless George trying to have a relationship with anyone when he's got such massive trust issues.

Johnathan's clearly got a few tact modules missing...they've been replaced with red flags! Sophie's been going to the gym with Matt and Duka - hardly think she'll be doing the stuff they do. Thomas and Adrian were fab at that dinner I felt, was it the editing that made it look like Jonathan (I can't keep typing that extra 'h' in his name it's wrong) didn't appreciate their horse leg comments or did he get the message loud and clear they thought his opinions were horse legs...I mean shit...

As for Duka, when he said about coffee in the morning and taking to long to get ready even I rolled my eyes...but I'm not siding with Whitney just yet, she's still frying that vocal too much. If she used that voice at work I'd be wearing ear plugs all the time.

Big sigh at the forthcoming retreat, always some shite going down at one of those. Sad to see Thomas gets riled up again about the gossip but I'll wait to see what the context is.

Matt's table manner are appalling. I don't understand how, as an adult, he doesn't realise it's gross

The April thing on her honeymoon

still seems weird to me. She supposedly kissed a random girl in a hot tub?
How would a 30 year old woman on a holiday with a new husband randomly meet someone so fast to play truth or dare with them? How did that game come about? She’s not a teenager.
I can tell when April lies because her lips move.

Wow I just googled April. She has previously been on not one but two reality live shows.

Firstly the Bachelor in 2011. Where girls compete for the love of ex rugby player Gavin Henson. I do vaguely remember that show.

And the Cabins more recently on 2020. I saw some of it but didn’t remember her.

The fact that she’s now appeared on three reality love shows just shows that she’s after her 15 minutes of fame. I don’t believe she’s genuine at all. She’s after some tv work and instagram followers.

April is faker than Delboy Trotters Calvin Kleins.
