It feels to me that Ella, though 12 yrs on from transition, is still seeking validation - in her career choices, her dress choices, her rather inappropriate mentions of sex etc.
I don't get why Terence was unable to explain that there were fissures in the relationship long before Spoongate. I can think of at least 3 occasions of awkwardness when money was discussed, when lifestyle was discussed, when cheating was discussed. I think Spoongate was the culmination of Porsha's disappointment with those revelations.
Brad and Georges are utter players, though Brad may be a little more sophisticated than Georges.
I'm not convinced that Alex is as sweet as he may seem.

Yes it does seem like Ella really wants that validation doesn’t it.

Brad is clearly some sex hungry maniac, and Shona just isn’t on that same wavelength. I fear she may be coerced into things she isn’t comfortable with in her desperation to keep hold of him.

Why they matched Porscha & Terence in the first place is beyond me. They’re complete opposites!

Shona screams of anxious attachment.

I still cannot believe that Porsha asked if Terence was a Christian before she asked his name. She’s full of red flags.

Talking of entitlement, does Laura set anyone else's teeth on edge?

There's nothing wrong with being a finance manager from Hampshire but she acts as if she's Nicola Horlick living in a £25 million townhouse in Chelsea. I'm not sure whether some of it is an act, her accent seems to slip slightly at times.

She's also unspeakably rude. I did wonder if she'd set her sights on Thomas who fits her list of requests.

Been funny if he had said "no I am a Satanist" 😂

Don't know if this has been said but Ella sounds and looks like miley Cyrus, can anyone else see it?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 01/10/2023 11:11

Ella expected to be ravished by now and can't seem to understand why this hasn't happened.

What was the point of presenting as a hyper sexualised image of a woman if you don't get shagged senseless?

Must be hard to get a pretty little head around.

Terence seems to be able to think with his big head.

I have no faith in Ros and Thomas! I think they are too far gone to recover.

I think Jay and Luke have a good chance though, maybe even Alex and Louisa as well.

I'm holding out some hope for them - they're very nice about each other on social media, so it sounds like it might at least end positively even if they don't end up together!

The expert enabling Porscha by encouraging that apology from Terence is bs.

No wonder he leaves first. Dude is like “Fuck. This. Shit” 🤣🤣

Brad hasn't posted a single picture of his wife on his Instagram. I don't see them lasting.

I was quite sympathetic to Ella and her issues re the trans stuff, but she lost me when she announced she had 'the best damn pussy you'll ever see'. Why can she not just be a woman? Why does she have to be the best woman ever?

Maybe she thought 'I have a perfectly serviceable pussy' didn't have quite the same ring to it. It's clearly just her personality, I don't think she's constantly trying to one-up other women.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 03/10/2023 08:47

Brad is such an abusive twat

JamieandRoybromance · 03/10/2023 13:01

Urgh! Brad is awful. It like he's a disappointed father when he talks to Shona. Creepy.

Anyone else looked at Thomas and Rozz's instagram acounts? There are definite clues that they are still together and actually in love! I did wonder if they'd turn out to be one of the main success stories. The editing really does play to a certain narrative.

SecondClassReturnToDottinghamPlease · 03/10/2023 13:02

On the main thread someone has posted that they have had to remove a couple from the show as their relationship was deemed "too toxic". Brad and Shona maybe?

Also - I am sure I read that they had to lockdown while filming (due to a fight? Can't quite remember) and that 3 people were taking drugs. Have I dreamt this or does anyone else know about this?

I'm sure I read somewhere before it first aired that some of them partied a bit too much and there were drugs involved resulting in a lockdown style filming.

Ironically talking about how great your genitals are is quite a masculine thing to do.

It's not a subject I've ever given any thought to but now I'm pondering what criteria would make the best pussy? In some ways I'd like to know, but, for public decency, perhaps it's best left unanswered.

(Off to google exactly which anatomical parts the word pussy is meant to encapsulate...).

MagpiePi · 03/10/2023 20:29

I’ve only just watched last night’s episode and Brad is giving off massive controlling vibes, all that stuff about he’s told Shona she’s messy and forgetful and she’s still doing it, and she’s agreeing that she’s in the wrong instead of telling him to eff off. (Is he the new ‘I have a CHILD!’ )In the clip for tonight’s episode (dinner party) he’s making it clear that his concerns are legitimate but she’s got to ‘let it go’ and has gone from saying he loves Shona to saying he really likes her.
He gives me the creeps.

This raises more questions than I thought I'd ever have about a pussy. 😂

It could be Porscha & Terence because it’s been all over the media that Porscha trashed their apartment and loads of Terence’s stuff and the police were called (and someone who knows him shared this on here just as it hit the media)

Ella's reduction of 'woman' into the aesthetics of manufactured body parts is the most revealing, pornified, fucked up male thinking ever. Just waiting on Ella's screamy, Tampax party.

Attached is an article where Thomas said he nearly left the show over other cast members being manipulative and competitive and only there to be on TV. He seems to be saying that some of the cast would throw other couples 'under the bus' to put give their own coupledon a more positive spin and that made him feel vulnerable. He said not Rozz, Jay or Luke.

I watched the bit tonight where before the dinner Porscha tells Laura about the negative things Luke had said about her at their own (private) dinner party and thought "who does that?" obviously that is going to stir up a whole load of trouble. Later she recounts what has been said amongst the group about their couple dynamics to a defensive Shona.

The Honesty Box questions that started with "these questions are designed to help you as couples..." and then asked Jay and Luke to rate the couples in how genuine they were made me smile (cynically) as HOW is that really gong to help them as a couple? Or benefit any of the couples? Surprise surprise it caused upset and antagonism.

Thomas has revealed he nearly quit MAFS UK because of 'manipulative castmates'

He also said a lot of the cast 'can't be trusted'
