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.

@brittanyfairies is it on any other channels or apps?

brittanyfairies · 12/02/2024 11:06

@Teasie123 Sorry I don't know, I use southernhemispheretv or sh.tv. I've heard some people mention a site called Daily Motion but I've never used it

Tori reminds me of the Harrison/Bronte pairing

I get bored of the weddings, so I've slipped to episode 6.

I do miss the honeymoons though. I'm sure UK does all the weddings and then all the honeymoons?

Go back and watch the honeymoons then

Watching the episode after the first commitment ceremony, I realise why I'm single. There is no way I will put up with what these women are putting up with just so I have someone to watch the Traitors with. Absolutely fucking not

PerfectYear321 · 13/02/2024 02:36

Why do so many of them wear wooly hats indoors? We don't even do that in England, nevermind Australia.

Maybe it's sponsored by a wooly hat company. Targeted at the northern hemisphere 🤔

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 13/02/2024 02:43

Daily motion is good.

I didn't realise there was a thread for this. Phew. Am hooked as ever. So many thoughts and observations.. will RTFT tomorrow!

Manyandyoucanwalkover · 13/02/2024 02:43

I’m in! We’ve just watched episode one. Isn’t Cassandra beautiful? Hernsmile is amazing and she lights up the room. I really hope Tristan is tight for her.

I agree she is. But why have they given her a broken person that she has to help find his self-esteem? I don't think it is fair. Why couldn't they just give her a whole person who is looking for love? You can't tell me they couldn't find anybody else right for her out of the thousands who applied. Oh, wait...that doesn't make good TV!

PerfectYear321 · 13/02/2024 03:10

If you're broken you need to heal yourself before looking for love. Isn't that what we always preach on Mumsnet?

PerfectYear321 · 13/02/2024 03:18

People who have lost a loved one weeks ago- no.

People who have never had a girlfriend/boyfriend - no.

People who reel off a list of all the things they hate about themselves such as being pale- no

People who say in their intro that they don't compromise - no.

People who have been cheated on and burst into tears in their interview - no.

People who burst into tears for any other reason on their interview - no.

People who are travelling around the world and suddenly decide to come on this show- no

People who say they have never wanted kids when you know the person you want to match them with is desperate for kids and almost 40- no

FFS!

Really no need to be rude.

seafoamgreenhair · 13/02/2024 06:23

They stick bits of the honeymoons on at the end of the wedding episodes - there is no separate honeymoon episode this season.

D1LL1GAF · 13/02/2024 06:39

I feel sorry for Lucinda. She seems like a lovely person and Tim is so closed off. He is clearly a little scared by her and not sure if he fancies her at all

I feel that after the show, anyone not making it through with their partner will go on to meet their loves - as this is a showcase for them and someone out there will be looking and thinking Wow I really like them.

marshmallowburn · 13/02/2024 07:39

We actually do have lots of lovely normal people here in Australia. I have no idea why they insist on picking weirdos ( well I do , ratings). Collins is the worst actor I have ever seen, the constantly startled look and the hairsprayed hair I could ignore, but the fake crying is too much.
He has set off my gaydar too.
I wanted to like Jayden but don't anymore.
Tristan needs to get his head together as Cass is too gorgeous. She is going to walk very soon.
Thank god Natalie finally left.
Lauren islike the friend that you love but wouldn't want to live with. Her dude is way too calm for her .
Lucinda's voice drives me batty . I think Timothy would have been better with Richard's wife ( sorry , name escapes me , they are the same age too).

FenellaBestwick · 13/02/2024 08:02

I agree that Tim needs someone calmer like Richard's wife. But Richard's wife is so lovely, she deserves someone more fun & jolly than Tim. I'm really happy to see how happy she is with her hubby. Though I'm holding my breath to see what her hubby is like in the long haul. Esp after he put her 3rd in the looks dept🙄

LolaLouise · 13/02/2024 09:08

I think Lauren and Ben (? i think that his name) will be this seasons melinda and layton, i hope so anyway, i think their personalities could really compliment each other.

Collins is so bloody cringe, i hope he watches this back and is mortified at his am dram performances.

Richard makes me teeth itch

Tori is there for the fame, Jack is a walking red flag

Ellie seems sweet, but her cousin was 100% right about her man, there to self promote

Im not sure on Tim yet, hes a little bit amber flag, Lucinder is full on, but she at least seems to be acting genuine, Tim i just dont know, something is off

Cassandra is stunning i agree, i really like tristan, he is a little bit awkward, but i like that

Im hoping Jaden can redeem himself, i liked him initially

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 13/02/2024 09:48

Lucinda and Tim are one of the most interesting ones there (and the ones with the most airtime it seems!)

Do we think that things will develop organically if L backs off and gives him the space? Or will he just sit there on the sofa eating crisps and not notice she's there?
Do we think he is being genuine when he says it will/ could grow? I would like to believe so as there are clearly some positives there but we'll see.

I think she's absolutely gorgeous and lovely .. but is she always going to be a bit too much for him (I don't just mean sexually - I mean her way of talking - she talks in a very sensual / drawn out way - he's just like the bloke down the pub)

Tristan and Cassandra - I had such hope for these two. She is so so lovely / patient and absolutely beautiful - but could anyone make it work with him given the work he needs to do on himself first?

Jack and Tori. Ughh yes this year's Harrison. My main observation here is how absolutely amazing her skin is. I can't stop looking at it. Yes she is half my age but even so.

Richard does make we want to vom a bit... he's just too much - and the photo ranking ..ughhhh but when I see them together I do think they make a good couple. Is it all a bit too much too soon though?

Yes like others I really liked Jayden at the start and think she seems great. V pretty - but it's so ridiculously suss how he went from not regretting his actions at all to really regretting them after 1 conversation (with the producers probably) Obviously not buying that. Plus on a superficial level - I thought he was quite attractive (admittedly it's was before 'the confession when he became a less attractive person anyway) but now he wears his hair down more I absolutely don't. I mean at least get a decent trim man. Better still get the man bun up or chop it off!

Podcast guy and Ellie - do not trust him or his intentions one bit. First the podcast thing - then his absolute evasiveness about the wanting family Issue.... do not trust him one little bit. I hope she doesn't get in too deep.

Collins - no comment. How on earth was he even there in the first place?

The other 2 couples are slightly morphing into 1 homogeneous mass at the moment for me - I know they are both different but I can't even remember their names!

Anyway - throughly enjoying it as ever!

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 13/02/2024 10:24

Sorry realised that was a bit long.. stream of consciousness! Just so good to be able to chat about it with people who are already watching/ invested before it comes to E4!

CatamaranViper · 13/02/2024 13:55

So happy I finally found this thread. Just marking my place for when I catch up

Majorityofthree23 · 13/02/2024 17:57

Ooh next dinner party looks like a corker!

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 13/02/2024 23:28

I thought Sarah (Sara?) was completely out of order with the date thing. 3 TIMES!! And she's being really dismissive and saying he's needy. Completely in the wrong.

marshmallowburn · 14/02/2024 07:38

Yeah, Sara is a worry. I'm sure I read something bad about Tim that wasn't good but can't remember now. I just wish they would go back to actually matching people who at least had a chance. Just the distance between some of these couples would be like the Uk and France at least ( don't quote me on that but it takes about 5 hours to fly to Sydney from Perth).

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 14/02/2024 07:58

@marshmallowburn

That's exactly what I always saw every year! They don't even seem to take it into account do they?!
