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.

I've seen primary school productions with better acting.

Bet they were all clouds in the nativity…

Or 'thank you for being vulnerable / showing vulnerability'. Jeez.

If we all give up next year maybe we can have the thread anyway and just select a different programme to watch every week

That isn’t a bad idea actually Mel

Grumblebox 😃

@SagaNorensPorche Roz’s parents seemed quite happy to talk about naughty things direct with her and Thomas when they visited. They are probably cheering her along that they are shagging 😂

Yeah weirdo family. I think I might get along fine with Peggy in some aspects

Oh god were they. I must've been bleaching my ears during that one

Amazing that Mark has grown on me, Sean and Tasha have gone down in my opinion - because of their behaviour.

Ditto. I also really disliked Laura for her he's not a Chelsea boy speech on her wedding day and she's grown on me. Clearly my initial radar is off as I thought Mark would be a nightmare and he's been ok.

I think there was a lot of staging and teeing up of the fight. And I have a feeling Luke wasn't allowed to apologise to Jerica so it made the commitment ceremony more dramatic. It wasn't a full on fight, more a bit of shoving (not that any of it should have happened) but I think some of the others have behaved appallingly in different ways and been allowed to stay (Ella).

It pains me to say it but JJ lights up in a way that almost hints at a tiny morsel of charm.

JJ is a completely different person (or edited completely differently!) with Ella.

I've just watched the latest episode on catch up.

I quite like Matt as he seems like a nice normal bloke who just wants a nice normal relationship without lots of drama ans is not a gobby moron like some of themI hate it when more introverted people like him are expected to become the life and soul of the party as though that is the best personality type. Why can't Adrienne tone it down a bit and get her energy to match his? I think her and Georges would probably get on OK and have a laugh.

Laura has gone up in my estimation as I think she's realised that Chelsea boys are not actually her type, and that she has been a bit mean and condescending to Arthur. I think they are well matched in terms of looks and seem to genuinely like each other. I think she will have to ditch her snobby friends if she wants to make a go of it with Arthur on the outside.

JJ and Ella have both found their validation based on him wanting a talking sex doll and Ella wanting to be treated like a talking sex doll. Having your gob hangin open all the time because you've got too much filler in them just makes you look like a half-wit.

I like Jordan as he is prepared to call out bullshit. I'm sure it is edited to make it look like no-one else agrees with him. Erica is still up herself but they seem to like each other.

I wish the experts would stop pretending that they don't watch any of the footage. It would be so much better if they made the couples watch themselves and then get them to justify themselves. Mind you, the show isn't actually anything to do with building relationships anymore, it's all about stirring up drama in the group.

Place marking

Yeh, I wondered about that. I bet she wasn’t even really aware of the implication of what she says. The producers have a way of getting people to behave like that. It’s awful when you think about it.

For all we know Thomas might be very inexperienced because he is an incel type (not the awful woman hating type just a man who hasn’t had much sex) if Thomas really is bad in bed then it’s been win-win for him because he’s had free sex lessons from a veritable stranger and weeks off work, free holidays etc. He’s had the time of his life.

I’m not sure that people actually like Jerica but feel that they did not deserve to be exposed to Luke’s violence. That was awful.

Listening to Stacked Actors.

Aye.

What joys have we got tonight?

You know when you're overly-invested when you dream that you're watching and then become one of them!!

It pains me to say it but JJ lights up in a way that almost hints at a tiny morsel of charm

yes but that sly grin he does usually accompanied by hair or eyebrow touching makes me 🤮

I feel like taking a swig every time someone dry eye cries, every time someone smirks when they are supposed to be traumatised/triggered/bereft/angry, and every time there is more than a 2ft expanse of flesh on Ella. I’d be off my lurks by 2117…

I would like someone to pretend how a flower opens in springtime, or pretend to be an angry person in the pub or someone to recite Shakespeare.

They got this job, I’d like to see how.

I think it is merely the studio lights bouncing off Ella’s shine.

I dreamt about sherbet dip dabs last night thanks to the thread! 😂

Very true...

Looking at the pre-transition photos, she was blessed with quite a slender matt not shiny face. And didn't have two slugs masquerading as lips either.

Catching up on last night. Poor Georges is a broken men.

I've been willing him all this time to declare that he wouldn't want a relationship with someone who'd go on Take Me Out, since past single actions are how we judge future not single actions, according to Peggy.

I find it incredible how something so small as false eyelashes can make such a difference to how Ella looks. Without all the fluff just still looks like a very shiny man 🤷‍♀️

No that's completely right. It's a peek into a completely deranged psychology, where he's managed to convince himself that's what happened, probably as a psychological self-defence mechanism to avoid having to admit to himself what a toerag he is. Otherwise, there's no point in lying because the cameras were there. So he must believe it's true. Bizarre.

Ella looks so incredibly different when she’s done up to go out. She must have such thick make up on. I wonder if JJ is as attracted to the bare faced Ella as he is to the made up Ella. Defo looks more like a bloke when au naturale.
