MAFSUK Part3 - Brought to you by yesteryear and Dreamies. When feeling cheap and dirty involved fingers and a virtual stranger as opposed to no fingers and a virtual stranger. Doing my pan in…

[SheldonesqueTheBstard]

No fingers …

I don’t understand all the drama over Terrence snubbing her at the dinner party, yes it was childish and petty but so was staying sat there and purposely ignoring him when he came in and all your friends doing it too. Where’s the questions about why Porscha did that??

Also I think she’s actually convinced herself on her multiple retellings of spoongate that what she said is what happened, crazy.

As much as I dislike the photo ranking task of the other brides and grooms it would at least give us a clue wtf is going on with roz! Thomas is really awkward but without seeing him with other people it's hard to tell whether it's just her/fear of history repeating itself is doing him a bad.

I said on the previous thread I think he looks like Alex Brooker 🤭

Had to catch up on last nights episode this morning.

What I don’t understand is, when a couple are saying two different things happened, why not just play the clip and then challenge the liar. If they want drama, then that would make great tv.

I mean Porscha’s version of events on Spoongate became more theatrical as it went along. Now Terence apparently “threw” the spoon at her. “Oh did he? Let’s roll the tapes and see shall we?!”

Well she has gripped my giblets doing that puffy gaspy crying thing with zero tears.

I get the feeling she has gasped and puffed to get her own way in the past.

There was no pain there. Just drama.

I too wish MAFS had VAR.

Love it 😂

I'm always a day behind as I watch on catch up - but I read the thread as I watch, which is great!

I'm thinking while Brad was saying he was sexually explorative it's going to turn out that he's actually sexually exploitative.....Shona is very vulnerable and is going to be hugely hurt at some point I fear unless she finds some horribly unhealthy ways to cope with his 'exploration'. She calls herself 'prudish' and none of the experts pull her up on it's negative connotations or to say it's absolutely fine for her to have whatever boundaries she wants. They always seem to be pushing for all the couples to be having as much sex as possible as soon as possible.

Arthur makes me nervous, someone who has such low self low esteem that they tell lies to make themselves look better is not someone stable enough to be in a relationship IMO. He seems just like a nice guy with very low self esteem who just tells little lies sometimes - well so did my OH and in the end it turned out he ticked all the boxes for covert narcissism.

I thought it was bad that Nath outed Ella as a stripper when she'd asked him not too. She's another one whose self esteem is so low that she's really not suitable for a relationship let alone a tv show where you get married at first sight.

Porsha is just awful. I don't think Tezza knows what's hit him.

I don't know what to make of Ros. Tom is so shut down emotionally and just says 'I don't know' over and over when asked about his feelings. I can't tell though whether Ros is unreasonable or just realises how shut down he is and doesn't feel like she wants to be responsible for trying to fix someone so broken. Sooo there's another one (Tom) that I'd say has too low self esteem to be in a relationship let alone on a married at first sight tv show.

The icksperts though seem to think it's no problem and that they can fix anyone by marrying them off with someone that have some vague thing in common with and then giving them 5 minutes of therapising every now and then along with tasks that are clearly designed to cause the greatest amount of upset and drama.

The one thing i really loved though was that every time someone said something outrageous the camera panned to Tash and Paul and they were looking at each other with raised eye brows lie - WTF?!

@itsmyp4rty You hit the nail on the head there.
Why do they put damaged people together and expect them to fix each other?

Haven’t they played clips to the group on MAFS Australia before? So they could do it on the UK version.

If the experts really want to advise, then actually showing the clips of what’s being debated/argued about, would help them advise better, no?

Instead they seemed to take Porscha’s word for it and let her play into her victim complex with her fakey wakey tears and never really explored her taking more accountability for her crap. It was just “You both have to learn to take accountability”.
Yes. But Queen Porscha of Dry Eyes, won’t.

Thomas reaches for his past painful relationship as an excuse for why he is nervous, but I feel like if he would only talk to Roz about that experience, and about how it makes him feel she would be able to respond with her own experience of being rejected and they'd have some sort of emotional connection through being open about their vulnerabilities.

But Thomas is clammed shut so tightly he can't even name his feelings to the experts.

They have replayed various contentious moments but never when they should have.

Dramatic retelling of instances should be nipped at source. They usually just leave things to escalate madly and show it as an afterthought when they please their plums.

Porscha is now believing the version she has been replaying in her head/retelling. It needs nipping.

And the ixperts saying he has to acknowledge her pain?

He may as well stick his hand in a bucket of crabs. Far less painful than pandering to her for starters for she is far nippier.

Peggy making it seem as though Georges was ready to pimp her out online for baguettes should have been subject to VAR as well.

I think Ella outed herself as a stripper

All Nathanial said that he had stipulated some hard nos from the outset to the ixperts

(He said in an interview he didn't want a smoker or someone who works in the sex industry. He also said he didn't want a trans partner)

She piped up and said she was a stripper

She is also allegedly a smoker but this hasn't been shown or mentioned

Has anyone found Tashas insta?

I think Ella outed herself as a stripper

Me too.

I feel sorry for Nathaniel and Elle, they were set up to fail and provide drama. Same with Porcha and Terence - how the hell anyone matched those 2 i don't know, it was never going to work

Thanks!

Sorry, i meant Porsha 🙈

Placemarking

Any outing was done by the producers, not by the cast. They choose what's shown.

I agree with showing clips of what actually happened - this has been infuriating in the past.

No wonder Thomas has decided to remain mute

Really hating the lack of accountability for some of these contestants. Shona you’re not ‘prudish’, you have boundaries and they should be applauded. Your poor decision-making around plastic surgery is another matter of course.

Roz Truss should’ve been roundly scolded for using Thomas the way she did. In these enlightened times of consent, I would go as far as to say she’s sexually exploited/emotionally abused him for pretending to be in to sex with him when she’s actually repulsed. Gonna take years of therapy to undo that little lot, poor Tom.

I actually love Zhorzhes, I think he’s here for the totally right reasons, ie to take this bin fire of a show with a pinch of salt that makes Lot’s wife look petite. He’s clearly a big old geek and whilst not my ideal husband, at least he’s funny and has a shred of personality. Peggy looks and acts embalmed.

Ella n Nath, Porsha n Tez, I have no interest in these kind of post-reality reality antics, it’s snoresville and I find myself FFing those bits.

Whoever said the lips and fillers are making the women look like they’ve had facial reconstructive surgery after a horrific accident is completely right. I keep thinking acid burns/face torn off in a freak combine harvester incident!! Wonder what they all looked like pre-lilo lips? The constant licking just reminds me of a revolting toad.

Completely agree.

She’s being allowed to run with her version of events and the experts are skipping over her actual behaviour and trying to pull some X factor type emotional backstory out of her, so that they can use it to incorrectly advise on next steps. Those next steps being Terence pandering to her shite

Totally.

Petition to start MAFS VAR? 🤣

Can I join in?

So I haven’t watched yesterdays episode yet (not bothered about spoilers) but here’s my two-penneth:

Jay and Luke - love them. Think they’ll have problems at some point though

Laura and Arthur - she’s really growing on me

Nathaniel and Fella - fake fake fake. They are both there for exposure and her announcement was really unnecessary

Paul and Tasha - love them both I hope it works out

Shona and Brad - they’re so bloody smug that I actually hope it crashes and burns. DH thinks he will turn out to be a massive prick

Georges and Peggy - I stated off hating him but I actually feel sorry for him. Peggy is a twat! The whol judgemental ‘I’m so proud I’ve never had a one night stand” - why? It’s not A Bad Thing. If she cares so much about respect though she’ll be raging when she hears what he’s said a it bear beats

Porscha and Terrence - OK so hear me out. I see where Porscha is coming from - the man described his life with every day filled with busy things. When does he plan to have time for a wife?! And he was very judgmental about the fact she doesn’t like clubbing. She’s a single mum aged 35, did he expect her to be raving and taking E’s every weekend?

Liz Truss and Suarez - they’re probably the most bribing humans ever to grace my TV set. They should just be kicked off now. I actually had to Google which couple I was missing.
