@Floofydawg well - maybe, maybe not but the thing is she's stuck between a rock and a hard place now. He knows it, as do the producers. I wouldn't be surprised if, post-show, Harrison says he only went on the show to win a bet or some such shite.

MelsMoneyTree · 22/04/2023 13:41

Is Dunc poor? I'm wondering if that's why Alyssa has gone off him.

Romeiswheretheheartis · 22/04/2023 09:44

Yes, and I also suspect that what he and Mel allegedly talked about that 'they agreed to keep between themselves' was him telling her he's just a plant being fed lines etc, which is why her attitude to him has now changed.

Maybe this is why, out of supposedly 3 days of interaction, we saw literally zero footage of Mel/Harrison together?

RegainingTheWill2023 · 22/04/2023 15:44

Whilst I don't think Harry is a plant as such and being fed lines by producers etc. , I can believe that the producers included him soley because they recognised what a dick he is and wanted the drama.

I'm hoping there's some interesting footage of him talking to Mel that might get shown at the reunion.

RegainingTheWill2023 · 22/04/2023 15:47

I think the production company frequently fails in its duty of care and I feel pretty disappointed in myself that I still watch 😬

Harrison is completely aware of how he is perceived and just sees himself as playing the game. Bronte is herself trying to play it back. Both want as much exposure as possible but neither are interested in each other.

I wonder if they'll stay or leave on Monday though.

They've got to go this time.

I originally thought they get married at the end and flog MAFS for as much as they can make.

They obviously made a pact early on that they would stay in for exposure, Bronte didn't realise just how much of a dick H was, but has tried to keep up the pretence.

What she didn't bank on was the other wives constantly calling her relationship fake and I think this has genuinely thrown her, as if the other wives don't believe it, and are calling it out on camera she'll know that viewers are not going to believe it either.

And how many followers will a fake get? Lots apparently 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I think they’ll stay but won’t make final vows

Bluetrews25 · 23/04/2023 18:50

No, I think B&H will make final vows but will have split by the reunion, or shortly after it. Maximum exposure. Remember, any publicity is good publicity.

Prinnny · 23/04/2023 18:54

I think the only couples standing after last vows will be Ollie and Tahnee and maybe Melinda and Layton. Cam isn’t in it, neither is I have a child and we all know Harry isn’t!

Honeyroar · 23/04/2023 19:05

I think Ollie and Tahnee have been the only couple standing since the start!

I don't think so. A PP said he lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches and that is not an area for poor people.

DecorNoIdea · 23/04/2023 21:50

It’s interesting how who you find attractive changes once you get to know them. I liked Cam most originally! Now it’s Leyton, Olly and Rupert. I’m not fighting for Duncan! Harry is just repulsive

Surely there doesn't have to be a reason. She's got the ick, can happen to anyone and is often illogical. Plus she has always said he's not her type.

It had just struck me that the experts go on a lot about how career driven Mel and Layton are, and how it affects their communication styles and priorities. And there's been lots of discussion now about Cam and Lyndall's careers. It made me realise they never say anything like that to Duncan, and that's why I started wondering if he wasn't successful. Although I guess Duncan could have mentioned work and I just missed it under Alyssa's constant comments about her child. I'm glad to hear he lives in a nice area. That'll make the MN roadtrip (flytrip?!) even better Grin

determinedtomakethiswork · 23/04/2023 23:48

Mel would've had to be insane to say anything on camera to Harrison that implicated her.

determinedtomakethiswork · 23/04/2023 23:49

Duncan certainly comes across as someone who is educated and in a good job. Isn't his job something to do with cyber security?

dapsnotplimsolls · 23/04/2023 23:59

MAFS - making the thought of Monday just a little less hideous 😀

Layton needs to work on his. I agree with Mel- he's very black and white and stubborn too. The not going back to their apartment after the task (or letting her know why) was mean but he was so adamant that he was in the right. This would do my head in.

Does anyone know if this is the last week? I'm abroad next week - do I need to take my iPad so I can watch?!

I read it finishes on Thursday 4th May?

So we have this week and next week.

I know there’s 36 episodes. So yeah that would take us up to next Thursday 4th May

Floofydawg · 24/04/2023 11:22

I'll have to avoid this thread while I'm away...might be a bit sad to be watching MAFS whilst on holiday!

Bronte’s whole personality has changed while plays the role of “Brontë who wants the blue tick”

Hopefully after it is all done she goes back to her real self. Have had to unfollow So Dramatic so I don’t see spoilers but can’t wait to listen to all the post show interviews once it’s all over
