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....

Please, please, please could people stop posting things that haven't happened on the show?!

It's not a spoiler; it's comment on one of the participants I think - don't read it? I don't think the link title tells you anything?

I've binge watched this to catch up but not sure I can watch anymore. Matt and Witney are just vile. How old is Matt meant to be? To me he looks like he's in his late 40s.

Haha, so true! I'm also not sure how my wording is MASSIVE.... Grin

I just assumed you did the big words on purpose because ‘salt and peppers here’ was such an epic unforgettable moment 😂😂😂

It had to be some dinner party that Kwame's comment about a woman going up from a 10 to a size 12 was swept under the carpet.

In what sort of world is a size 12 unacceptable!

To be fair I otherwise enjoyed his willingness to stir the pot and tell it as it was. His line about the irony of Matt being there for Duka, admitting to Gemma they had all known there was something between Matt and Whitney. He's finally earning his place on the programme

MelodyPondsMum · 28/09/2022 12:25

Yy it shows how much of a disaster it's become when KwaMeMe is the voice of sense (apart from the comments about weight).
I thought Jenna's point about careless comments impacting on eating disorders was very good and really the guys supporting Johnathan should have shut up and sat down at that point.
It was interesting they were all so mouthy about women's weight but when Matt was being aggressive and shouting and standing over the women trying to intimidate them (both Gemma and Zoe) not one of the guys intervened or told him to back off.
George's masks really slipped - he was revelling in the drama and encouraging Matt to leave. Then he looked absolutely raging when Thomas called him and April out. There was real anger there.
The experts better send Whitney and Matt home. I'm with Zoe - they disrespected Gemma; they disrespected Duka and they disrespected the PROCESS! I'd add they disrespected us - the viewers - no-one wants to see Matt and Whit together.
Also agree with a PP, that every series, I wish the experts would give real advice eg to Gemma about overly emotionally investing with a stranger; to everyone about how Matt and George have real, dangerous red flags, etc. If they used this show to teach people about healthy relationships, it would be so worthwhile.

This thread just goes round in circles. The spoilers/posting things that have not been aired is ruining the thread, and it has been said many many times that nothing which hasn't been aired on the programme should not be posted on this thread.
One poster DID say what the link was about.
Regardless, chucking crumbs of info for people who don't want to know back stories etc isn't welcome, as it always always leads to a knowing comment from someone else or a tease, or (as in this case) someone literally mentioning what it's about.
There's a spoiler thread for all that, as has been said.

Twonewcats · 28/09/2022 14:31

also agree with pp who said they shouldn't allow any recouplings to continue on the show. I've said it on previous series too, it completely ignore the entire format, which is that strangers have to attempt a "marriage" based on scientific (hahahahahahhahhahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) matching.
Meeting someone, getting to know them, fancying them and then deciding to have a go at things is just normal dating, not a reason to continue on this show!

Respect the format indeed!!

The triple negative is seldom seen in the wild. Change ‘nothing’ to ‘anything’ and you’re conveying your intended message, I think!

MelodyPondsMum · 28/09/2022 14:54

If Whit and Matt are just trying to get famous, then sleeping together is massive commitment to that cause. It's like the Kardashian's sex tape all over again ... but presumably with worse weather, worse accents and much smaller rewards. Envy

Whoever recommended the MAFS Hysteria podcast - thank you. Just listened to the latest episode, which includes a fabulous interview with Lara! She's even nicer than she appeared in MAFS and absolutely hilarious! Also very enlightening about Lionel. Not what he seemed at all. Thoroughly recommend.

I need to stop watching this bilge. I felt the same about the Aus one with Heidi and Mike. The experts have a golden opportunity to point out red flags, manipulation and the early signs of coercive behaviour, but they don't. They seem to gaslight the participants too. I know that the commitment ceremonies are heavily edited, but it would do the world a service if they showed experts saying flat out that some behaviours are flat out wrong and worrying.

They should have asked George what he was doing googling April and then asking her to explain her history. That wasn't ok. They should have dug into Gemma's sexualised behaviour and pointed out how wrong that is. They didn't. I dare say they will let Matt off very lightly too.

How are we supposed to educate people on acceptable behaviour if so-called 'experts' on a big platform just let this shit pass?

@lifeissweet very well said! 👏👏

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 28/09/2022 16:04

Seems a bit overkill that we can't talk about the people in the show other than information learned on the show. I swear the MAFS threads aren't usually so strict! Obviously no spoilers but surly talking about something someone has done historically (ie before they came on the show) isn't a spoiler and doesn't change how the thread goes?

I actually work with the English language and would have cringed if I'd seen that 😲
However, knowing it was me who actually typed it is genuinely shocking to me!! 😅

Bundlebungle · 28/09/2022 17:09

I know it's not exactly highbrow entertainment, but surely everyone can understand that posting gossip, stories about the participants' lives etc is spoiling the enjoyment? Just start your own thread or post on the spoiler one. It's not complicated.

Gemma definitely made mistakes at the beginning and yes she was deluded to think that it was ever going to work out but last night she was reacting to being publicly humiliated, surely cut her some slack for that.

Like yeah.... But no! She reacted as though they were 22 years married and he had been cheating on her for the past 6 years! She knew him a wet week. She claimed she didn't know anything, but she also in the previous episode said she had a gut feeling about Whitney picking Matt so she wasn't completely in the dark. She also said in the VT they were flirting and making eye contact.

Roaring and shouting at him to sit down, giving him the fingers, constantly shouting "we're married".. Christ above! Yes she deserved to shout a bit and be upset but that was next level. The other contestants looked so uncomfortable when she was roaring and shouting and the other 2 absolute toxic ass holes weren't even in the tent!!

Is Matt an absolute prick? 100% without a shadow of a doubt. He is so toxic and himself and Whit should not be allowed continue their toxicity on the show!

Totally agree Confusion.
I was sad and frustrated for Gemma because she went waaaay OTT and it didn't help her cause at all. It almost felt like she was taking the opportunity to turn it into an opportunity for lots of attention as a consolation prize...
Understand that she is very hurt and was really embarrassed, but shouting and screaming and swearing and essentially, sinking to their level, was a shame.

Lara is so, so funny and very different from the schmaltzy air head they perceived her to be

hugefanofcheese · 28/09/2022 17:38

It felt like there were huge gaps and glitches in sequencing in that dinner party! Weird. What did everyone know exactly, just that they fancied each other? I was a bit confused.

Dick move of Kwame to word his points re Jonathan as 'if you're a size 10 to start with then a size 12 or 14 weight gain would be understandably offputting' knowing that Kasia is (I assume) either at the upper end of those sizes or larger.

PutinIsAWarCriminal · 28/09/2022 17:51

Why is Thomas at the women's only events, and then proceeding to shout over and dominate the actual women at the event?
Why does Whitney wear more to bed than she does to a dinner party?

MelodyPondsMum · 28/09/2022 19:39

Zoe should launch a line of tshirts saying 'Respect the Process! Grin
I wonder if Kasia will say anything tonight about KwaMeMe's strong opinions on what size women should be or if she'll be too busy basking in the fact the other women said he was the most sexy or whatever it was.

dapsnotplimsolls · 28/09/2022 19:57

Is someone starting a new thread, pretty please? I suspect we're going to need one, particularly if Titney are allowed to continue as a new couple ...
