MAFSUK - thread 9 This matchmaking lark is quite tricky. When some are decidedly picky. They’ll meet for a blether, and then get together, but only because they’re so sticky.

[SheldonesqueTheBstard]

The show might have lost its appeal
For some that won’t be a big deal
It may just be snark
But they have jumped the shark
With the return of one I and P Beale.

And nip flashing peg? Brace yersel.

Luke seems a likely candidate. Ella. JJ.

I too feel sorry for Matt. He does seem a little dreary but he also seems genuine, respectful and kind. Sadly that doesn’t seem to be what Adrienne wants although I can see how ‘kerazy’ Georges gave her a taste of a more ‘fun’ relationship …

Sean is just baffling. We’ve hardly seen any of their relationship and suddenly Sean is in some kind of crisis. Is he saying he just doesn’t fancy/ gel with mark?! Or something else? Poor old Mark, our predictions of him causing all the drama for poor innocent Sean appear to have been unfounded!

I cannot for the life of me fathom what Georges sees in Peg the Neg. There must surely be more to her than we’ve seen as she appears to have absolutely nothing about her. The man needs to get some bloody self respect, his friends and family
must be thinking wtf are you doing?!

Laura and Arthur will never work- despite what she says, she doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. They’re just too different.

i always felt there was a slightly aggressive side to Tasha, think it was from a clip from her on a night out with her friends before the wedding. Frankly I have no sympathy for Paul, he was happy enough to sit by smirking whilst Tasha hurled abuse at others and to pass judgement on other couples…

Laughing at "Two-faced Thomas".

When was this all filmed?

Here is Georges in 2018 on Celebes go dating;

Poor Mark.

But I do think it's shit of the producers to cast someone who's entire 'thing' is 'I'm really insecure. I'll be very bitchy unless my partner promises to adore me, do everything for me and never hurt me'.

How is that not going to drive someone to a nervous breakdown? Maybe Sean has been holding back most of his uncertainties and doubts because his story is supposed to be 'the hero who doesn't hurt Mark'. That's a hell of a lot of pressure. He's clearly snapped.

I don't think either of them are emotionally robust enough to be on this show.

But then most of them aren't, let's face it.

And here’s Georges squatting video ;

Sean is just baffling. We’ve hardly seen any of their relationship and suddenly Sean is in some kind of crisis.

But that’s exactly why this season is so shit. We’ve hardly seen any of their relationships!

Here is Georges in 2018 on Celebes go dating;

He looks quite different, I think his wider face suits him better. Now I'm wondering if they made it to a second date or not...

He’s put on a bit of timber since then! Mind you Peggy probably looked totally different then too.
He’s obviously craving the limelight to go on these two shows.Says a lot about his intentions.

Laura is enjoying Arthur’s kindness as she’s been hurt but ultimately he’s not going to meet her needs.

@dillite I think Matt said he was approached to go on as someone had seen his bodybuilding posts. His ‘look’ fluctuates between competing and normal life. He looks just like a normal big guy when he comes to our house - but then he isn’t in gym kit at the time! He looks massive on the programme compared to his day to day. Non competing look. I would be very surprised if he does anything like this again. I hope not!!

I feel sorry for Matt because I'm very quiet around people I don't know, but once I've got to know people I'll be more confident and say a bit more, although I suppose I'm always someone who is a bit quiet and doesn't feel the need to fill all the time and space with noise. If I had someone telling me they needed me to act more extrovert then that's the sort of thing that would be making me second-guess myself all the time and make me even more awkward.

It did make me wonder whether Georges/Adrienne and Laura/Thomas would have been better matches than the ones the experts producers came up with.

Sean, presumably, knew he didn't fancy Mark quite early on.

But didn't he say the opposite? Wasn't it Sean who totally fancied Mark, but Mark reeeally didn't fancy Sean at all, and didnt know how to move past that?

As well as Sean's entire persona changing overnight, so did Peggy's. Wen Adrienne suggested shopping for underwear for Peggy, I thought uh-oh.....
Yet Peggy went from hypercritical abusive etc, to "ooh, I like these cheap-looking yellow lacy pants, and I want to get physical with you."

Really just makes it so obvious that the producers are telling them certain ways to behave, or at least creating a bit of a flip-flop/journey narrative

The narrative currently seems to be based on "we're just about to split up/having rows/not getting on well enough" which can then turn into a redemptive, how they have worked through it one.

So in this George said he'd like someone to have fun with but know when to be mature when required.
That's exactly what Peggy wants from him. He knows how to behave. Peggy is just using it as an excuse.

Sean definitely said mark was his type and he fancied him.

It also explains why he stayed. Irl he would be off like a shot.

I’m cross. Shite day yesterday - looking like similar today. And then watched that mince.

I don’t know what those fuckers are on but if ever there was an example of Zammo to shout ‘just say no’ - this would be it 🤨

So. Apologies for the language but needs must.

Fudwatch.

Peggy - fud.
George - foofstruck - needs a shake.

Ella - fud.
JJ - neofoofstruck fud.

Erica - fud.
Jordan - couldn’t be more of a fud.

Thomas - not a fud.
Roz - filthy fud.

Tash - growler.
Paul - needs to be a steely fud back.

Laura - too dull to be a fud. Barbie fud?
Arthur - snap. Ken doll.

Matt - not a fud.
Adrienne - teetering into fud territory - cut him some slack!

Little Mark - surprisingly unfuddy.
Sean - becoming fuddy.

I wish Georges has been matched with Adrienne.

I’m hoping Peg really
fancies a shot once she realises what she is missing.

And then I’d like Georges to go ‘nah’ and write leave.

Re Paul? Tash is haaard work. But I don’t like this non acceptance acceptance of an apology with accompanying hard stare.

Paddington did it better maaaate.

lAnd Ella “be a slut” with accompanying leg spread?

Women don’t aspire to that Ella. The inner man has spoketh.

Yet fucking again.

Looks a tiny bit more interesting tonight with the ubiquitous food and fireworks.

Flop or fud fandango?

Time will tell…
