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.

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.

The whole series is based on stirring up arguments and fights. I can't imagine any of the couples staying together after the show has finished. Paul surely can't stay with Tasha. His family are deeply religious and Tasha doesn't match up to their standards.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 01/11/2023 18:04

I haven’t warmed to Erica (apart from her saying her piece when JJ and Ella came back) - I just get the feeling that she is a nippy sweetie and one with a spoon at that.

I do love that her feelings show on her face though - I have a similar ability to show it all without really wanting to.

As plenty have said, it is probably more obvious as quite a lot of the other faces don’t move at all.

Very true @SheldonesqueTheBstard

StaySpicy · 01/11/2023 18:19

I haven't watched last night's episode but feel that just reading the thread updates is just as good. Perhaps better.

Womencanlift · 01/11/2023 18:25

I think Erica is brill and I bet if she had been in since the start they would have all liked her. Always the same, the later ones come in and the originals don’t like their cosy bubble being disrupted (even though latecomers happen every year)

So so so glad that Paul’s rose tinted spectacles are starting to come off. Tasha is a nasty piece of work and also agree with the list of 3 mentioned above about who has been enjoying some enhancements

Condensed for you spicy

Fight. Insight. Tight (yellow skimpies). Delight (varying degrees). And flight (or flounce) right at the end for the preview. Tonight.

More condensed? With the same rhyme?

Shite. 😁

Erica is a classic example of it not being what you say, but how you say it, that matters.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 01/11/2023 18:57

I like Erica. But I think everyone knows that already :D

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 01/11/2023 18:59

I think the thing with Jordan and Erica is that Erica was probably up for doing a swap but because Jordan wasn't then that was it and then it seems like they have a conversation around it where he is upset and she gets angry because it's like she can't express a different opinion or he may get upset - that's the jist I got from it.
But I don't like it when she defaults to calling everyone a fucking idioTTT. Jordan just seems like a softy who knows what he wants and doesn't want to change it up. Which is fair enough 🤷

Sean seemed really into it, then we saw him shitfaced and since then he's been a bit tortured. I will say that maybe he's dealing with the Mark we saw in the run up to the wedding and if so that would be a lot, but Sean is unrecognisable from the happy chap on their wedding day and their honeymoon. Fair play to him, he has at least tried to be open with Mark about it although then he ran away again so fuck knows where his head is at.

When did we see Sean shitfaced? I must have missed an episode

PerfectYear321 · 01/11/2023 19:20

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 31/10/2023 21:30

Sean is on drugs. His arms were all up in top and everything. He looked off his face at one of the dinner parties.
I'd put my money on it.

It's a shame. It's not pretty.
I feel so sorry for mark he actually seemed like a sweetie pie

Could you please clarify what you mean about his arms?

How does one scissor?

You know how scissors make a V shape like legs akimbo? Well, imagine two open ✂️ with one pair of scissors intersecting with the other and rubbing their vag’s together.

Top summary (both versions)!

The surprising thing about the swaps was that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and nobody got jealous. The worst thing that happened was that it made Adrienne more aware of the main thing she doesn't like about Matt, but not a huge difference.

So you could imagine that Erica would be feeling like she missed out, and that Jordan was worrying for no reason.

MelsMoneyTree · 01/11/2023 19:48

But Jordan's OCD meant it was unlikely he'd enjoy a swap. It's just another sign of the producers completely ignoring the vulnerabilities of the people involved.

ETA - yy it seems likely that's what J&E were arguing about.

That's exactly what I am picturing as happening, however am seriously struggling as to how that might be fun. Or sensual. Or just anything other than uncomfortable.

You mean to tell me you don't like sciatica inducing sexy times @dillite?

Sumthingsweet · 01/11/2023 20:12

if he didn’t want to do it he didn’t have to but Erica could have still ? Agree like her a bit more but crying about being scared of Luke bit fake

tasha showed her true colors to Paul

was only a matter of time her bubbling anger surfaced again

this woman would fight you over a box of fish fingers in Tesco
Trash is the word not Tash

I don't really like any sexy times, but especially those that induce ailments.

Erica cried because she had some experience of violent trauma.

@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 imagine not, especially after the programme portraying him like some beefed up dullard.

43ontherocksporfavor · 01/11/2023 20:36

That editing around Matt and Peggy working out was horrible. Nobody is laugh a minute let alone when having to spend a day with someone you barely know. Give me Matt over Georges any day!

PerfectYear321 · 01/11/2023 19:20

I think it was last night where he had the talk with mark to basically end it. He came in and sort of fist bumped marks chest whilst looking in another direction. That was weird.
But then the actual talk he was fidgety as hell and he got up to walk away out the door he put his arm up the front of his t shirt and moving his arm around inside his t shirt. It was just really weird!

The episode where he looked shitfaced was a dinner party. I think the last dinner party they had. He looked horrific

dillite · 01/11/2023 20:51

He was taking his microphone off there, that's why his arms were going under his shirt.
