MAFS thread 5, real time discussion, no spoilers..

[Buggsilla]

Just pouring the wine & putting out the biscuits for tonight.. help yourself.

I think PJ and Jess must have been so relieved to have left early after going back for THAT.

Lara completely outclassed the room

Duka is lush

I thought her dress was gorgeous. She looked lovely.

Beautiful! 😍

I want to know where her dress is from

All the reminders on here and I completely forgot it was at 8pm!

I've just caught up. I can't believe the experts are trying to get Chanita and Jordan back together. He blew his chance and being jealous doesn't mean he's matured. fgs let her have her fling with Duka.

Matt showing his usual lack of style and class. I didn't like how Kwame and Matt ganged up on Sophie. Pair of bullies. They really don't like women trying to hold men accountable for bad behaviour.

I've got so used to Kasia's dresses that I actually thought she looked lovely tonight. And I'm glad she didn't play Kwame's silly games. He treated her badly. All she had to say was 'park bench'. That sums up how seriously he took their relationship and how little respect he had for her.

I'm hoping the nice ones all went out together afterwards and that Kasia got together with PJ, and Chanita got together with Duka. Hurrah for Zoe and Jenna still being together. It might not make it through the long distance and the kids discussion but I'm glad they've had at least a few months of happy dating.

Lara's dress is from Shein. I can't find it on there though as it's such an awful website to use.

Totally agree with all of this!

I would have put Chanita with Duka in the first place, so I'd love them to get together!

George will just spend the entire time making April responsible for his feelings and take no accountability for any of it.

Jordan made me really cross. He seems to be in the trap of thinking "love" is a Disney movie, yet he has everything he actually wants and needs in her.

I can't stand George. Ugh

I know we know it's all rubbish but the experts were really poor tonight with their starry eyes over George and their conniving about Chanita and Jordan. Then their absolute silence over Matt yet again picking an argument with a woman. Plus them acting surprised that Kasia had boundaries over Kwame's bad behaviour.

I agree, the ixperts seem to be very naive.

I don't like many of them this year, maybe Zoe/Jenna/Chanita/Lara. I thought Gemma was just stirring last night when she said about Matt calling out Sophie. Why repeat (and embellish with her foul mouth) what may have been said? Thomas is just out for fame and trying to be outrageous just for the sake of it. Can't stand him. George & April love-in is a joke.

They need to revert to the original UK format next year or just forget it. Else we'll end up with a cast of more tedious wannabes.

Feels like the ixperts have painted themselves into a corner - they won't have credibility as practitioners so they can only focus on their media careers. They're stuck perpetuating whatever narrative the producers want them to tell.

Was Tom hiding his flamboyant dress sense initially or did he decide halfway through to up his media game?

I do wonder whether the producers nudge people to wear certain things

We're back to 9pm slot tonight people, hoping for a bit more oomph than the damp squid dinner party!

And unveiled straight after - Paul and Charlene will be on there. It says "...as cast members given an exclusive insight into their time in the experiment." I've heard them called 'cast' quite a few times and I'm curious as to why - is it because they really are like glove puppets? I'd have been calling them participants - can't think of another word.

@TitsInAbsentia loving the damp squid typo! 🦑😂

I wonder if April and George are actually still together.

When was the reunion filmed?

flinging a damp squid around would have brought a bit more excitement! Although like the squid would have got stuck in someone's cleavage...

I actually liked Thomas a lot more last night! Seemed kind of weird that he was dressed so flamboyantly and then was actually pretty quiet. Fab to see that him and adrian are such good mates and good to see that he cleared the air with April and George. Was sooo surprised that they were still together although cynically thought they're just absolutely milking it for the exposure!
Love that zoe and jenna were still together. Absolutely no surprises that matt and whitney burned out so quick. When he did his macho walk in in those shorts I wanted to vom! He's such a twat.
Bit surprised about Jordan and chanita but I guess the warning signs were there. Agree with others saying Jordan is emotionally immature/ afraid of commitment. If I was chan I'd have told him to piss off when he came to sit in between her and Duka.

Yup.

He's so controlling and emotionally immature..I want to punch the screen.

Who were the 2 couples from last year @Frazzled2207? I know Adam and Tayah have just had a baby, but had no idea anyone else was still together!
