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!)

@Copen honestly it's really upset me what he did. I'm surprised more people aren't absolutely horrified. The bit about making her watch sounded very "rape-y" to me.

Dick reminds me of Cesar Flickerman, chuckling loudly after he says anything! Poor Andrea - he should feel lucky to have such a beautiful (inside and out) wife

I thought Collings might find it easier if he had the fellas pics.l to rate.

I don't see the point of Natalie and Collins continuing, that bit where they were awkwardly stood in silence in his apartment after their awkward chat was excruciating.

The Jayden confession was awful, and I had such high hopes for him. I know people can do or say some out of character things when hurting but this was utterly bizarre. Shagging his girlfriends mate as a kind of evening the score thing is one thing, but to make her watch WTF?

I like Timothy, I think he was totally right in his feelings about that task. Richard was totally ick about it though, the way he was going into detail about each woman was gross.

The whole Jayden thing is very very bizarre. I don’t understand why any of the three involved would do that. And no regrets?

Been watching this thread but not commenting but Richard tonight has infuriated me. From the start he seems to think he's some cool dude, but he's a 71 year old who thinks he's 30 and God's gift to women. "My type"....yuk! Should be grateful anyone wants him. Just gives me the ick and DOM vibes. That awful laugh after every comment to camera too.... I think Andrea could do do much better than this saddo.

Also - had to laugh at the honesty/trust task for Eden and Jayden. He tells her his biggest secret and she immediately goes and tells another of the wives. I know it was an awful confession, but he's not going to trust her with anything now.

Am I the only one who dislikes Eden's brushed up eyebrows? I find that style so unflattering.

He’s 62.

I like Timothy more and more. Lucinda needs to back off and stop with the annoying sex therapist talk and chasing him around.

Sorry, just watching on Catchup. That was a REALLY STUPID thing for Jayden to admit to, knowing his partner's background! Why would he DO that???

Why would anyone think it's a good idea to confess that on tv? 😆 He's not the sharpest tool in the box.

I think Jayden’s confession was the worst thing I have ever heard on reality TV. It was coercive sexual abuse of at least one woman if not two (what on earth convinced the friend to take part?). DH was as shocked as I was.

Richard was an utter tool and creepy with it.

Tim and Lucinda continue to show how this can be done with dignity and integrity. They actually communicate with each other. Like a PP I highly doubt she is literally following him around - but living together in such a small space must take getting used to.

Natalie and Collins was the first ‘come on, producers, this is bullshit’ moment of the series for me. No way did Collins not know what was happening - why else would he be sitting in an apartment? And poor Natalie - just let her go home.

Richard just showed how un self aware he was tonight, no idea how his creepy comments on the young women might affect his 50 year old partner. Made me cringe.

But, tbh this is a pretty dreadful task to ask any new couple to do, and isn't something a real life couple would ever do.

I don't think I've ever wanted a more incompatible couple than.Tim and Lucibda to work.

It won't but she had definitely soften and I think I genuinely thunk her likes her as a person but isn't on the same wavelength and isn't attracted to her either.

verylongday

"What kind of a friend would agree to that?"

Indeed.

And what kind of man would suggest it?

He's gone right down in my expectation.

It was quite sad/funny when Lucinda offered to bath with Timothy and he said no thanks as he chomped on his sweets. Lucinda is a very sexualised, sensual person and they have matched her with someone who is very (in his own work words) vanilla.

OoohLovelySlippers· 'Honestly it's really upset me what he did. I'm surprised more people aren't absolutely horrified. The bit about making her watch sounded very "rape-y" to me.'

it does feel very manipulative and controlling. I have gone right off him.

Collins is very immature.

Jack is a Pratt.

I wonder if we are going to end up with even one good man!

Well Jaden apparently isn't the nice brother after all then. What the hell was that. He literally just admitted to weaponising sex and doesn't regret it? If his ex cheated he should have ended it, but I don't believe for a second it was multiple times.
Tim was so much more dignified than Richard. How could Richard not put Andrea first, she is stunning. She reminds me of Diana Rigg.

Oh Timothy good on you for pushing back against the crap (I find the rating task really horrible).

I've just watched, and am astounded that some posters aren't ripping Jayden to shreds.
Using sex to punish someone is utterly disgusting, abusive, manipulative and rapey. And on the condition that his girlfriend watched? And to then say he had no regrets. Wow.

And the fact Eden was asking if she was right to think that was extreme is what is terrifying about that generation - the weird kind of porn culture, where some women believe they have to do extreme sexual things to be valid, and where some men believe they actually want to do them.

Tim was fabulous tonight- even though he's not really attracted to Lucinda, he's taking it all in good spirits and chuckling his way through the awkwardness, while also not bending to her intensity.
I'd be perfect for him - enjoy my own space with the occasional cuddle, don't like opening up about feelings, and am very vanilla in the bedroom. If i was paired with a guy who was asking about sexual boundaries within a week, it would terrify me and make me retreat!
And Tim refusing to do the task was great- it hadn't occurred to me how sleazy it could look - until Richard did it!

All he had to do was rank them - not explain why he fancies them.
Andrea was so right when she pointed out she doesn't want to be compared to much younger women - I don't either. Im the same age as her, and would hate to be judged on my looks against mid-20-somethings. It's actually cruel and, as Tim and a PP said, nothing positive can come from doing it.

I agree with you but he's 62 not 71... still gross tho

Have you watched Kath and Kim? She sounds like the shop assistants on there 😂

Jayden, Jack, Richard and Lauren are fairly stupid and unlikeable people.

I thought Ben might be in that category too and also Sara but seen very little of them so far.

None of my favourites Cassandra, Ellie, Tristan, Jono appear to be getting much air time.

Natalie & Collins return is a waste of time. It isn't going to work.

Still hoping Tim & Lucinda can find a way. I wonder if she was less hippy dippy/woo-hoo would it make a difference. I like her but that stuff drives me crazy. I like him too and especially the fact he's willing to huve this z go.

I hope Lucinda’s warm friendship will help Tim heal a bit. And I hope that, despite her not coming out of this with a romantic partner, she is happy enough in herself to find that rewarding for what it is.
