Wire in.

I do think they should have one eye on location when making these matches.

I thought that too.

I hope the next episode is more interesting than the Monday night one.

I can't understand why Peggy and her family are so obsessed with Georges and his squatting video. He's told Peggy that he won't do that kind of thing anymore and it's not like he can go back in time and not do it just because a future partner doesn't like it. I think he's right that he'll never be good enough for her.

I'm glad that Nathaniel has got an excuse to get away from Ella, and Ella is going to get the validation from shagging JJ. He's certainly going to get his money's worth with a partner who has had 'work' done.

I thought so too, and mentioned it on here. Got told I think highly of myself for saying it - zero idea what that means!

For Peggy and GeorgeS.

Catching up.... new guy Matt seems nice (not at all my physical type 😂), Adrienne is fillered, botoxed, orange AND shiny. This is obviously the way women 'need' to look to be called 'stunning'. I find it flummoxing. They seem to like each other though ..

I just scrape in as a boomer (1964) ...

I'm finding their deep conversation about their families whilst posing for the camera quite funny. Not the content of the conversation, but more that they had it while in an awkward clinch 😂

Yes, quite.

Love Matt & Adriane so far, both seem lovely

Very strange that JJ knows Ella is trans and is still interested. I asked DH last night and he said that if he was in that situation he couldn’t get past that she was a male physically. I got why Nathaniel was matched as he is bisexual. Am I massively out of touch?

@SecondClassReturnToDottinghamPlease he was away for 10 weeks and I think it was about Easter onwards

A pp said that Nathaniel signed up for a man, or a masculine-looking woman.

So they matched him with a feminine looking man.

That's the "experts" for you, I guess.

I think if the JJ/Ella 'storyline' is going to be that a 'straight' man prefers a transwoman with lots of surgery over a natural biological woman then the story writers are doing a massive disservice to all involved.

They're even worse in MAFSAUS - Sydney and Perth!

He lived in LA. He knows no better.

@dapsnotplimsolls that always gets to me - a Perth/ Sydney match.

Just struck me as a slightly bitchy gay man I think 🤷🏻‍♀️

Story writers says it all.

I bet JJ was hired from the get go to do some underhand typing with Ella. He probably stipulated that he’d be up for owt. Literally. just not a natural looking lass although I suspect Bianca was told not to gussy herself up also.

Would not have been quite so dramatic if he’d been matched with Ella from the start.

Yes, the shininess. I agree. I don't like it. I'm in the same age bracket as you and it was called greasy skin when I was young

I think it's really strange JJ is keen to go for Ella.
I actually wonder if there's someone behind the scenes trying to prove some point. Terf hating screenwriter or something

And I'm also just fucking fed up with trans people popping up everywhere.
They are 1% of the population yet they seem to get shoehorned into every TV show going and it doesn't tie in with the population numbers.

I don't think the overly plastic groom is a transman. If he was he'd look far more masculine because that would be the point of his transition. He's a gay man who's had too much work done which makes him look quite freakish and very unattractive.

Different people like different things. Some guys do seem to be more interested in fake boobs and anal sex, and so then it makes no odds whether the woman is trans or not.

I'd be put right off by the lip filler, but again, that would put me off whether the woman was trans or not.

With the final couple of this series there will have been 88 people on MAFSUK.

@Nogaxeh How sad. JJ doesn’t strike me as someone who’d be happy to take his trans girlfriend to meet his mates though
