Save The Date - MAFS Australia to start! (UK pace - No Spoilers)

[JellyBeanFactory]

New series starts on E4 on 26 February.

From DigitalSpy:

"The brand new season of MAFS Aus will arrive on the UK platform on Monday, February 26 at 7.30pm (followed by a new MAFS UK reunion at 9.30pm) – so set that date in your diaries"

That's my evenings for March and April sorted!!

Thread ready for our thoughts.

(If you have started watching by other means, please NO SPOILERS!)

Sheesh. Natalie and Tristan (he's the one with Cassandra?) would have been a hell of a combo.

BTW, did Natalie and Collins have the same venue as Cassandra and Tristan? Two for the price of one deal for the predication company and crew in situ...?

Natalie is full on, but Collins is giving nothing away. Not a bean. It's no wonder he's never had a relationship. You have to invest to hope you get a return.

Predication 😂. I meant production.

I miss Duncan.

Didn't Duncan have a slightly mean streak emerging at the end, or have I totally made that up?

I do remember swooning for most it!

Poor Collins. Natalie is absolutely awful! Makes her all ooey gooey inside ..wtf?!

Just been for a quick squiz on Instagram and Duncan and Evelyn are still very much coupled up. Seem to be doing a LOT of ads together.

OMG yes - I was trying to think who his smile reminded me of!

I dont think so? He kept being put lower and lower on her priorities, but then she was implying he wasnt stepping up enough - he seems completely wrung out by the end

They are a very beautiful couple

I feel like I see way too much of her in cheese wire bikinis. I did like her on the show though.

Evelyn and Mel were a great team, they took no shit.

And Bronte's sister, of course.

Mitch still looks like the 3rd member of Wham to me. Very odd for someone in 2024. I like his brother though and Eden seems nice.

I really like Lucinda. Crackers in a nice way. The bloke she's with I think will give it a good go though he's clearly never met someone like her before.

Interesting that we're seeing a fair bit of Mitch, and hearing that he has regrets. He's also said he wished he'd trusted the process more, and at least 3 times has said he's nostalgic.
Do we think Mitch will be giving it another go?

Yep you know you will see Mitch again, there's a few actors and actresses in this Auz one, can't remember where I read it.

I think she's neuro diverse.

I didn't see the series with Mitch, so I can't comment on what happened, but it was made loud and clear last night (about three times!) that he regrets not trusting the process and how different he and his brother are. I'm not sure if that was to help Jayden, or to help us not assume they'd act in the same way?

I wondered if Mitch was stressing his brother is different because Mitch was a bit of a production nightmare by the end.

He kept complaining about the cameras and not wanting conversations to be filmed.

I would imagine production had to be reassured husband brother understood the assignment this time

I've just caught up on all the episodes. First of all I'm pleased to see that it seems, so far at least, that most of the couples appear to be genuine as opposed to in it for the fame so that's feels refreshing. And also, whilst there are some faces looking pumped of filler, most of them look "normal" for want of a better word.

Thoughts on the couples so far. Jack is a walking red flag, I think Tori will either fall completely under his spell and lose herself or she will very quickly see through him and leave, the latter hopefully.

Sarah and Tim. Think they are both in it for the fame. I don't think they are a match but they'll stay in till the bitter end in order to gather IG followers.

Cassandra and Tristan both seem lovely, love her Dad and his speech brought a tear to my eye. I think they'll get on but potentially just as friends.

Lucinda and Timothy. I love her, yes she's utterly bonkers and some of the things she comes out with are a bit eh? But she's really likeable. I think they could be a good match.

Jayden and Eden. I like these two. I wish he'd change his hair, he's actually a good looking guy but the man bum does something odd to his face. But they seem on the surface well matched and he seems like a really lovely bloke, hope he doesn't turn out to be a wrong 'in. I think Mitch got a bit too much airtime though!

Natalie and Collins. Initially thought they seemed like a good match but she became way too much, and he seemed to close down in response. Glad he spoke up about taking it slower, hopefully it was just the nerves for her and she'll calm down a bit going forward but I'm getting some sex pest vibes from her so we'll see.

Excited for this series! Oz MAFS is definitely the best.

Natalie reminds me of Olivia Coleman, I feel a bit sorry for her now as Collins seemed a lot like her but has clammed up and is just repeating stick phrases.

That's it! I was trying to work out who she reminded me of, thanks.

I feel like Collins may be autistic. He doesn't seem to be able to say how he feels about anything. He uses a lot of "stock phrases" which remind me of someone I know on the spectrum. A lot of "what a day" etc he deflects a lot and doesn't ever say how he feels about anything. Except
That he wants to go slow but that's not really a feeling? Maybe I'm totally off the mark here tho!

Finally caught up on the thread but getting the names totally muddled! Only half way through episode 3 so a bit of catching up to do too!!
The flowers are amazing!!

I feel for Natalie - didn't her dad die a few weeks ago? And now she's in this surreal situation and had probably got her hopes really high that she would meet someone lovely. I'm not surprised she is spinning out a bit.

I'm not convinced that Collins is even attracted to women.

one day behind and glad I can fast forward, don’t enjoy the first few episodes but have to have a background and good so see how I change my mind after a while! I agree with copen, not sure Collins is into woman or anyone. Looks like it’s going to be good one!
