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.

You mean trashy Cinderella and her stepsisters?

The dresses were mentioned. I do think they rendered many of us quite speechless, though.

It comes to something when Erica looks comparatively classy

🤣🤣

But JJ says he is straight and TWAW.

<sits on hands to stop typing anything else>

Jordan is incredibly defensive whenever Erica says anything that isn't praise. He flips instantly to an aggressive counterattack.

I find it difficult to see because I recognise it from myself. It feels very important to me to justify myself and I have to make a real effort to slow down, listen and acknowledge that the other person is telling me about their own feelings rather than having a go at me.

But, y'know, I'm in my 40s now. It's taken me a while to learn this.

Jordan is the Mr. Darcy of the MAFS age telling it like it is without any social niceties

All that posing and 'being a slut' on the tennis courts was just tiresome and a bit try-hard.
Ella comes across as a one topic person and it is just as dull as someone talking about their obsession with concrete mixers or the best olive oil.

Maybe JJ is asexual. We've had everything else so why not?

I cannot believe that JJ is used to dating VS models etc - he has zero charisma, has nothing that would draw them to him over some minor/major celebs who'd be coming onto them.

He has the aura of a shy virgin, frankly.

Ah yes I forgot that JJ fancies girls, also, Roz and Jay asked for boys. Maybe making couples wasn't as easy as I thought.

Tasha’s response to the letter was exactly what the letter was getting at. She’s awful. Hopefully Paul is taking it all in and isn’t just blinded by the sweaty dirty make up sex 🤨

Sean has done a complete 180. It makes no sense.

Jordan doesn’t listen to anyone else’s perspective. At all.

Maybe JJ has money , which could explain his time in the USA and how he dated models?

I’m amazed he hasn’t slept with Ella, since they spent time away from the show? Or maybe he’s realised what sleeping with a trans woman is ? Maybe he’s keeping her at arms length in that department?

Lauras friends are like something out of Made In Chelsea! But very snobby.

I can’t work out Arthur’s accent! I know he’s form London but he has a touch of gangsta with it.

Jordan would be hard work to be with I’d imagine, he doesn’t really listen and is defensive. Then again everyone is the group is against him

She called it stinking dirty sweaty sex, which I found rather alarming.

Arthur speaks English as a second language so that explains his accent. He is a native polish speaker and growing up his family all spoke polish around him (think I recall him saying he was the only one who learned to speak English at the time or something like that).

Yes! 🤮🤮

That VS model was an Instagram model, not a proper VS model of a VS standard. She is just someone who posed for a catalogue maybe once. Or maybe one of their new social media models from when VS attempted to appear a bit more accessible and inclusive and started to hire what in the past would have been seen as fat models. Alessandra Ambrosia or Karlie Kloss that VS model definitely is not.

Also, this came up on Facebook for me

Now with the photo attached

Bloody wifi

Hope this isn't a spoiler but Ella just posted that she's joined Vinted and is going to be selling the outfits she wore on the show!

Bloody hell who would want that shite. Most of it was holes tied together with a bit of fabric.

To be bought by the type of women who spread their legs in traditional ‘slut’ poses on tennis courts…

I hope it’s ok to join in as I’m late to the party but have been watching religiously.

I just want to say I actually like Georges which is massively unexpected and I have zero understanding of why JJ is touted as sexy - he looks like the blokes I tried to avoid at Options back in the 90s.

What I liked about TwoGeorges' letter to Tasha is that it has felt as though we're shouting into a void on here about how appalling Tasha's behaviour is - but TwoGeorges spotted and acknowledged it. And he didn't even see Tash jump in Erica's face at the spa weekend.

Georges has been much maligned merry

He put me right off with the ‘titttaaaaays’ stuff but that aside, he seems to be one of the better chaps in there. Anyone who can put up with Peg deserves a second chance.

I still think his nose is lovely.
