Got the VPN set to Oz, Married at First Sight Australia is back!

[brittanyfairies]

I love MAFS Australia, and it's started again this week in Oz. Does anyone fancy a watch along? I watch on SouthHemiTV.

Already desperate to discuss the first two couples.

Jayden's ex has been speaking to journalists. She denies that the having sex with her friend in front of her ever happened. Said that it was a very toxic, on/off relationship and that he would be lovebombing one minute very controlling the next. She said that she didn't cheat on him, they split up at the time she didn't have any inkling of them getting back together so she started talking to other men and going on a few dates. When they got back together she didn't tell him but he found out and said it was cheating and that he would sleep with one of her friends to make sure she didn't do it again. As far as she knows, none of her friends would have any interest in sleeping with him, and if they did she certainly wasn't there.

"I'm worth more than this" is what every woman should have in her head. I think they will be good friends but he was never into her romantically or sexually, Timothy will always be chasing younger women. I'm glad Lucinda decided to call it a day. I must admit though I can also see where Tim was coming from, I'm a massive introvert and that level of engagement on a daily level would just about finish me off. I come home after a day at work and it's such a relief not to have to speak or engage further and I have probably been guilty on occasion of being a bit like Tim and withdrawing into myself. However the difference between me and Tim is I'd never stick myself on MAFS

Timothy's flat was so squalid and so utterly wrong for Lucinda.

Lucinda’s been denying reality the entire series. That flat was a real wake up call for her. Only a man with no self respect could leave their place in a state like that knowing it was likely to be seen by a prospective partner and, more to the point, an international TV audience. Too bloody right she deserves something better, it’s a shame it took her so long to wake up to it.

I’ve never understood the sympathy that angry, entitled, selfish man has been shown here. His behaviour has been appalling from the start.

If Timothy had left his flat with dishes in the sink and pots on the stove there would be mould and so on growing on them after three months. The dogs would have eaten each other and created a mound of poo and piss. Timothy clearly did not leave his flat in that particular state - he had a young man house-sitting for him while he was away recording the show.

It's still a bad flat, grim in colour scheme and horribly crowded, with non-toilet-trained dogs eating raw chicken on the rugs... It is even odder to recall that Timothy is/was a real estate agent, who owns a microbrewery. I wonder if he has a gambling problem. Something has gone horribly wrong, somewhere.

His behaviour this episode was appalling - but he is also an introverted type, crammed in with another person (a very talkative person who keeps asking him questions about his feelings) plus a camera crew, without relief; and he is still a man who is experiencing complicated grief after the recent death of his father.

I believe Jayden’s ex. What woman would do what he said she would to her friend? No one I’ve ever known would do that.

Jayden's ex seems quite baffled at his claims
“If he’s gonna fucking lie, at least make yourself look good.”
“I never slept with anyone while we were in a relationship.”

When asked about whether or not she ever watched him sleep with one of her friends — something he confessed in last night’s MAFS episode — she said, “You couldn’t even pay my friends a million dollars to sleep with him.”

My feeling is that he probably is quite possessive and controlling but also does a lot of love bombing. So he won't listen to Eden/ has the same conversation over and over to brow beat her but then complains on the couch that he brings her flowers five times a week. Eden looks more and more uncomfortable and unhappy as time goes on.

Well Timothy, what a shame you had to swear like that when Lucundu was trying to talk about things. She didnt deserve that and I am glad she knows her worth.

But, goodness me, I am the Timothy in a relationship.

I dont want to talk about feelings, open up overly and dissect what has got me to feel this way. I want basic, shallow if you will, fun. So I totally get him. She is early 40s, he is early 50s, only 8 years difference, but a huge difference in terms of how things change with talking about feelings. In the 1970s we didnt, in the 1980s people started to.

And lots of us find "feeling conversations" really boring. Say how you feel if you like, and then leave it and move on.

If that's what a diet of tuna and rice does, I'll
Give it a swerve.

I have been with a Timothy. I feel for him as he's clearly so uncomfortable, but it is soul destroying when someone takes their problems out on you like this when all you've been is patient and kind. You end up walking on eggshells and desperately trying to give them space, while still showing you care (it's a fine line to tread and getting it wrong in either direction means copping it). I'm so glad Lucinda knows her worth and walked.

He is going to end up very sad and lonely behaving like that.

Priceless 😂what a dweeb

I'm getting a pretty poor impression of the Gold Coast! Last season that awful guy, Dan(?) hailed from there- the one that treated his lovely mafs wife- Sandy- appallingly. Then the dodgy brothers Mitch and Jayden (something very cold and controlling about those two). And Jack- what a shit of a man and not the prince he thinks he is.
And their various friends and relatives seem vile, to boot.

loving that pic of Jack and his dodgy hair- toupee, perhaps?

My life has reached the peak of tragic, as I was thinking about Lucinda and Timothy while making my coffee this morning (what has become of me?)

I think it's because he reminds me of my ex - and my observation is this: he says he doesn't want to be vulnerable or express his emotions. He says he likes to shut things in a box and forget about them.Fine. If that's how you cope, that's how you cope and who am I to judge?

Except, I do judge when the one emotion you are comfortable expressing is anger. That's an emotion too, you know.

He has no problems being pissed off and moody and telling people to fuck off.

That isn't being strong and stoic, it's being a highly emotional angry man. So yes, if bottling up all of your more vulnerable feelings results in you being a raging bull then it's up to you to learn a more healthy way to be for everyone around you.

Lucinda has done nothing wrong. She is not a mind reader and if he needed some space, he could easily have calmly said 'I'm really struggling and I know this is awful, but can you go and stay in a hotel for a bit. It's not your fault. It's nothing to do with you. I will come back to you tomorrow when I've had some space and we'll do x,y or z (you know, just a glimmer of a suggestion that he thinks about her feelings too).

But no. He pushed her away with anger which she didn't deserve.

I have been Lucinda and it's absolutely soul destroying.

I've seen a photo of Jack with Bryce and a few of the other worst ever men from MAFS.

Figures.

*Except, I do judge when the one emotion you are comfortable expressing is anger. That's an emotion too, you know.

Excellent point @mrsmalaprop I hadn't looked at it that way before

It’s a very, very good point and sadly there are a lot of men like it.

Jack has reached new heights - or depths - now. Imagine finally fucking Tori to keep her in line. Did anyone notice that he actually said he was giving her something she really wants? The manipulative bastard has deliberately withheld sex all these weeks and now he can see she’s beginning to see the light he’s screwed her to get back control. I think he qualifies as the most appalling man we’ve ever seen on MAFS.

Exactly that. He's just disgusting. And she's lapping it up sadly. Seeing it as building a more solid relationship. She's in for a life of misery if she stays (which she will)
Happy that Lucinda finally putting her needs in the picture. I like Tim but the relationship has been one way and she's too warm and lovely to get so little in return.

The fact that Jack had nobody at his wedding EXCEPT clients should have been enough to put her off. Her best friend clocked it and also knew he was a waste of DNA from the outset.
I don't know how she squares the circle in her head that she's a 'strong, independent woman' with how desperate she actually is to still be with Jack. I dislike her a lot and think maybe it's just 'cos she's a bit thick and wants to present as an alpha (yawn) female.

Love that the gym he works at won't take that photo down :D

I don't know I was shocked at how appalling Jack was at the home stay.

He doesn't give a shit about her, her feelings, her potentially giving a life up that she's happy with (and should stick with) .. all he cares about is 'getting it over the line'. That conversation about weekends and how often they see each other was awful and so transparent about how he feels.. and so manipulative aghhhh!!

Plus he is as revelling in the awful lunch with Jack's clients. I bet he fed most of that to them to say. It's like him seeing how hard he can push her for his own enjoyment and still get her to want him. Also.. a black rose?!!

Ughhhh

That said - I still don't know why I'm surprised. Is he getting worse though?

Hi from the UK. How far ahead are you from us here. Last night was the weddings of the newbies, last wedding is tonight. We only have it shown 4 nights a week, but clearly are a bit behind, but loving it. Do any of you get our version.

We’re all in the UK. We’re watching here.

@Mindymomo

2 things -you can watch all of the episodes on Daily Motion, Sh video or I know some people do it with a VPN / stick

There is also a thread on here for those watching on E4 if you want to avoid spoilers

As much as I am a normal human being, so couldn't stand Lizzzzzzz the weirdly possessive client, I did agree that Tori claiming to have mainly male friends was a bit of a concern - not because she's sleeping with them all - but because I am suspicious of women who claim to be 'not like the other girls' and to seek the approval of men to that extent.

She thinks she's a badass, but she's deeply insecure and wants the validation of men. Even snakes like Jack. She thinks she's better than other women. She has said so herself.

She is NOT better than Cassandra by any metric, for instance.

She seems unable to take the advice of women because she doesn't value their opinions.
