MAFS OZ (spoilers thread)

[Sagealicious]

Starts here in Oz 30th January so thought I'd give everyone a heads up if you're watching in real time with us.

In case anyone needs a reminder this will be the spoiler/up to date thread. Someone else can start the UK pace one.

🍿

MAFS bingo "got your back and you've got mind"
DRINK!

Drink every time they say the word 'intimate' 🥂

Josh saying it how it is, what a guy. Mel needs to sort herself out or she'll lose him and he seems great.

I would but I'm still gagging from 'juicy sex life' 😩

She is coming over as really one dimensional and totally obsessed with sex. On the upside she'll deffo get a deal from a sex toy promoter 😂

'Not crumbs...' - oooooh BURN

Ok, I'm up-to-date. Here's my opinions I like Duncan the best. Did you see him ironing?

Melinda & Leyton, all of a sudden she likes him very much when previously she couldn't stand him... I wonder if learning more about how successful he is in business has changed her mind? $$ in the eyes

Clare got off waaay too lightly.

Melissa & What'shisname, this is going nowhere. A man who wears cartoon pjs.. She said lets take sex off the table & get to know one another and he still didn't seem very happy...

Did you see the pics of Daniel in the Playboy mansion in the Daily Fail? I'd like to hear more about that because I didn't think he was that sort of bloke.

I'm glad Harrison had his arse handed to him because he needed it. 'I didn't feel the need to be faithful to someone I didn't know'...

Shannon, ffs, what are you doing here? That wedding is SO dead in the water.

LOVED Lyndells dress.

I also thought the editing was a bit clunky tonight, there were gaps in the explanations in places.

Oh and Adam, what a slimey toad.

Daniel in the mansion makes sense, he clearly likes them busty and a bit slutty...hence sadly Sandy was never going to be his woman. It pisses me off that he (and that goes for Shannon and Harrison too) has taken a place in this ixperiment that a genuine guy could have taken.

I'm not really sniffing any success stories from this season...no amount of weeks will make me change that mind!

I know they gave Harrison quite a hard time, but they didn't even touch on him sleeping with Brontë and then telling her she isn't attractive to him. I guess there is only so much roasting one man can have - and it may have been edited out - but I thought that was as much of a significant factor in it all going tits up as his women on the outside.

His 'I made a commitment as soon as I walked down the aisle' is the refrain of many an absolute arsehole who shags a random woman on his stag night. It never goes well, does it?

Shannon is going to hurt that poor girl so badly. This is just stringing it out.

The truth about Clare and Adam surely has to come out eventually. That altogether stinks.

I think Dan said he's actually quite a playboy, but they edited all his fast cars and playboy lifestyle out of his introduction videos to make him look like a better fit for Sandy. If that's true, the producers are even more ruthless and scummy than I already thought they were.

Yeah I agree, Dan definitely not the right one for Sandy and it's been very manipulated.

The caption made me laugh.

Btw if you're interested in reading recaps of each episode check out James Weir.

Just watching it now.

I think Clare and Adam are liars. It’s funny how she has an answer for who she was talking to suddenly on the couch. She’s gaslighting Jesse. And Adam is almost as big a fuckboy as Harrison, and everyone except Janelle can see it.

Gosh, most of them are pretty awful aren't they. I wish they would go back to casting real people rather than people in it for the instagram. Jules and Cameron are happy as larry. There was another couple that had a baby ( though I think they've split but at least it was real) And maybe another couple. These 20 somethings who " can't find love' are just an embarrassment. And when they do an older couple they pick the strangest sex-obsessed woman and put her with her complete opposite.
Also sick of them pairing people who live in completely different states. They do that every year. Just stupid. Australia is huge. You don't just do a 5 hour drive from Sydney to Perth. That's pretty much the flight time.
And while I'm ranting - the male expert gives me the severe creeps. Always has.

Finally finished the commitment ceremony episode..
Harrison Shannon and Adam all terrible but think Adam slimiest (and think he did want to go after Clare)
Jesse I feel sad for and worry his insecurities etc are just going to get worse.
Good tv!!!!

Shannon looks alarming all the time.

Just watching episode 11 on my lunch hour. About 15 minutes in.

WTAF is Harrison doing?! His gaslighting of Brontë is shocking, he should be kicked out. Thank god she’s smart enough to recognise it! Saying “I’m not going anywhere” is different to “I’m not leaving” is BS. Then of course she reacts loudly whilst he’s Narcissist Calm so he can go “look she’s crazy”.

I think he’s my least favourite groom ever. Worse than Bryce, worse than Spoonface, worse than Liam.

Def 'something' with Adam and Clare, time will tell. I was expecting Lyndel's big ooooh take to my grave secret to be something a touch more sensational...it was a let down! I guess Janelle isn't picking up on this because as far as she's concerned he wasn't on the phone to Clare he was with her, so that's final. Clearly she hasn't questioned whether anything else has taken place or might.

There were definitely a couple of "I wanna be on tv a bit longer" yeses (yesses? how do you pluralise yes!) at that ceremony, I mean why the f would Bronte want to stay with old dirty harry (who probably needs to pop in to his local std clinic and get swabbed...). I can't see them going on much longer. And Clare! Why would you stay with Jesse? Oh I know...perhaps it's not Jesse you're staying for 😜

It feels to me like production fed Lyndall the line. That's why Adam was very surprised when she brought it up - I think that was genuine surprise but not because he didn't say it, but because she was nowhere near when he did.

But also, and we'll have said this before about other MAFs series - why don't they bloody film these nights out instead of just the manufactured shite!

At times Janelle looked a little too smug and that wasn't pleasant. It'd be nice to see this ironed out with some proof if we're lucky.

I agree that Harrison is worse than Bryce.

Bryce was immature and insecure and just quite a bit of a dickhead.

Harrison is actually damaging and calculatingly manipulative. He is more akin to Andrew the Texan or that horrible James character, who gaslit Jo and made an inappropriate joke about Alessandra.

Luckily, neither of them stayed in for that long, but long enough to really hurt their partners.

Harrison is of that ilk: classic narcissist.

I agree. As much as I don't want to see
Janelle hurt, she has been very naive here and it may backfire. I hope it doesn't, but being smug about it may not age well.
