Tit for tat? Mafsuk thread 4. NO SPOILERS. Real time discussion.

[Bundlebungle]

There is a spoiler thread if you want to post hints. Let's enjoy the drama lamas as it happens.

I have finally caught up. Kwame. What a complete and utter wanker. And a coward. His own friends were siding with Kasia. He has got to tell her that he doesn't fancy her! He has got to stop talking shit like he is some motivational shit guru and just say "Sorry, but I don't fancy you, we should part our ways" and that's it. This whole "oh, I am so private" bullshit needs to stop. Kasia deserves better.

George and his mum are gaslighting enablers. I was fully expecting a telenivella style fainting episode from his mother there. April, whilst she is fake, doesn't deserve being bullied into placating their insecurities. Get the fuck over it, man! You are not the only person in the world that has been cheated on.

Tit and Twat. Twats. Just utter twats. Nothing more to add.

Zoe and Jenna- they won't last. Although Jenna said that she can't leave her business, yet she was ok to leave it for 6 weeks to go filming.

Johnathon and Sophie- his own mother has said that he goes on the defensive when challenged. This usually comes from a place of fear and shame, rather than malice. If he is willing to develop his emotional intelligence, he and Sophie could work out.

40 year old man's mother getting involved in his relationship. No just no. I was cringing for April. My son is 28 and theres absolutely no way I'd sit there crying and going on at his girlfriends about how hurt he's been in the past.

April has to deal with his kids as well. If she thinks being with the 'group' is difficult and puts pressure on their relationship, just wait until the four kids come to stay. One of his kids is an adult so she could be Granny April before too long.

Actually think maybe kwame and kasia are the fakest relationship in there, no way are they gonna see each other again on the outside. Amazed that producers let kwame duck out of the home stay tbh- he defo already has a wife or girlfriend.
George's mum was horrendous, my poor little georgie, he's gonna find it very difficult to have another relationship. Yeah thanks for the helpful advice MIL! Think april mightve been put off except she was probably wowed by his big house and flash car that mumsie probably paid for
Annoyed that they kept matt and whit in. She didn't even look happy sat at that table, same resting whit face as ever! It's just so pointless, you like each other cool, whatever, off you go, no point staying in other than to cause drama.
Hope jenna and zoe can go the distance, was really pleased that she got her some milk and bacon in! Will just be the distance thing for them I guess.
Hope Adrian and Thomas do too although I think his friend is not gonna be helpful. She's far too worried about her position in this and dressing it up as whats right for adrian.
Annoyed with myself that I'm so invested in this absolute dross!

Maybe the experts could find someone for Adrian's friend? The only way his relationship has a chance is if she has a bf or gf of her own to distract her

I like Adrian's friend. She might be a tad OTT, and there's a fine line between being supportive and poking your nose where its not wanted, but she feels she's just looking out for him. That's a good friend right there.

We only saw a brief glimpse of the wedding. From what she was saying it sounds like Adrian was really upset on the day and she felt she needed to stand up for him. We haven't heard much about Adrian's life. Maybe there's a back story into why she's protective of him.

It looks like she's thawed now towards Thomas (like we all have!) so hopefully she'll relax and let Adrian get on with it.

Annoyed with myself that I'm so invested in this absolute dross!
Yup. That about covers it. 😁

How did Kwame ever make it into the programme? He says a lot of words but they don't actually mean anything when all put together.

I feel a bit sorry for the contestants this year. Some of them have been matched with total reality series caricatures for the sake of entertainment. It's unfair.

So. Kwamemememe said "we're totally ready for the outside world as a couple" but then won't even allow her into his home?!
SURELY when they sign up to MAFS, they're agreeing to do all those things? Why are they being allowed to ignore the rules/premise of the show?
Remember Whitney sobbing on the settee, and they said they wouldn't put her through another commitment ceremony again as it wasn't fair on her, and now they're allowing K to keep Kasia at arm's length purely because he doesn't fancy her, and also allowing a new couple to stay in. The whole thing is a huge shambles this year

Whitney and Matt are the least likely couple you’d pair up together.
As much as I thought April is fake, she doesn’t deserve wet George and his mother breaking down into tears guilt tripping her. How full on were they ?!

Honestly, George and his mum needs to get a grip. He’s 40 not a kid.

If I was April I’d be running

So. Kwamemememe said "we're totally ready for the outside world as a couple" but then won't even allow her into his home?!

Tbf he's sticking to his word. She's getting the full outside world experience outside his home 🤷‍♀️
I'd love to know what he's hiding.

I wonder if it's just that he knows full well that he's only going through the motions and therefore doesn't want her anywhere near his personal space.

Or he has children's shoes under his floorboards.

Kwame wanting to leave the experiment conveniently just before home visits is suspicious.

Then to refuse to let Kasia into his home and just sit on a park bench is just odd.

Kasia can do so much better

Kasia is really annoying me for putting up with this total piss take. I thought she was a strong independent woman? Desperate stalker who will take anything, more like.

Yes. Kasia is one of the many on the show who are subduing their 'normal' personalities in order to stay on.

Just let's think. If there was an organisation that offered, in exchange for you leaving your job for a few weeks, to pay you a wage, to 'scientifically' match you with someone whom you'd marry immediately, to give you access to some questionable ixperts during those weeks and then you're on your own, but crucially this was not on the telly, would anyone sign up? Naaah.

The universal motive of all of these people is the lure of publicity and its supposed advantages. It doesn't make sense to walk.

Totally agree, you've got people determined to stay to the end for maximum exposure, when realistically they'd have come back from the honeymoon, agreed there's nothing there and gone their separate ways.
The only two I think didn't come on for the insta fame are Adrian and Zoe

LOL at the "science" backing up the ixperts in allowing M and W to stay.

🤣🤣🤣

I thought that was great from Jenna, bless her

Someone said on an earlier thread that he needs his larynx checked and I agree

I am definitely wondering if they edited Jenna really badly in the beginning to make it look like the experts have helped them overcome their differences!

I'm soooo annoyed they've let Twatney back in the experiment I'm almost giving up. My only hope is that after a week or two they realise they can't stand each other and explode on camera.

Brilliant- thanks for the earworm 🤣🤣

I am so disproportionately fucked off at Twatney being allowed to stay that i want to give up altogether (but I can't...I can't! What do they DO to us through the TV screen to make us stay?! It's like the plot of a Ray Bradbury short story😩).

Those so-called experts are morally corrupt for allowing ShitneyTitnTat to stay. Their actions are actually damaging. The programme has absolutely no integrity now- morally and structurally. It's pointless.

Oh come on do you really think it was their decision? Pretty much everything that happens is dictated by the producers

agree the actions are damaging but you can’t blame the experts they’re just doing what they’re paid to do (what they’re told)
