MAFS Australia Thread 3 - Manbuns, lobster claws, & Aldi Andrew Tate - they’re not our jam (NO SPOILERS)

[browneyes77]

Next thread - on we go!!

Yes - that made me laugh! 😂

That high slit and the fit weren't great at all but Glorious colour. 🌹

From what I recall him saying and my working out the dates he would have been very early 30s when his mother and brother passed away ( as it was pretty close together when it happened)

I think Tristan is just plain terrified at the thought of having sex. I reckon he might well be a virgin, or maybe had a relationship but was unsuccessful in bed and was maybe mocked or belittled and is just too scared in case it all goes wrong.
Cass is beautiful, and I think he knows he's punching and genuinely doesn't believe she actually fancied him. Years of bullying, lack of self esteem, and inexperience are just crippling him emotionally and he doesn't know what to do.
Jack is just a grade A twat!
those chocolates he gave Lea! were probably poisoned a calculated insult by him. In his tiny lobster mind he thought "give the fat girl chocolates" and his remarks to camera after she left were nasty.
Can Tori really be that deluded that she can't see what he's doing? probably!
Jack must have some hold over Jonno. He acts like he's actually afraid of him for some reason.

What did he say about Lea after she left? I missed that

He did one of his smirky lines to camera - something about how he said/did the right things and she is now on his side/likes him. It was creepy and a tad, not exactly scary, but was if that makes sense? Like he'd had it all worked out to play her and keep her sweet so she'll go away and not voice her misgivings to Tori.
I would love to see Tori and Lea get some time alone to talk.

Yeah it was something like “I know just what to do” like the chocolates were part of a plan to show what a nice guy he was.
Jack is clearly acting a part now I think ( based on himself).

Maybe Jono understands Jack and Tori are in for the Insta so doesn’t want to blow their plans? And Lauren knows it too but thinks Tori does actually like Jack?

Lea is way ahead of him though and kept saying 'he says all the right things'. She knows it's an act. Tori seems to be saying 'all the right things' too though and I'm convinced it's an act. Lea's reaction suggested her behaviour was most unlike her usual behaviour and I don't think she's under Jack's spell at all. She has a plan.

You may well be right. I couldn’t remember. I just knew it wasn't recent like his father

ah, thanks :)

Yeah, I'm not convinced whether Tori is enamored with Jack or if she's playing along with a big showdown/wakeup, or if she's planning one of her own

I think jade will turn out to be too needy and emotionally fragile crying all the fucking time for Ridge.
I just can’t get past the fake lips, huge flappy eyelashes, talons and fake boobs.

@CorylusAgain @Ellenanora7 I don't think we've seen Timothy disclose to Lucinda what his dad said, I think it was said during the chat with Tristan. Not sure if Lucinda knows.

I LOVE Lucinda's dad. He's brilliant. I was quite irritated by Lea during the wedding but I take that back she's spot on. She and Tori obviously talk on the phone so hopefully she'll mention some of what's she's thinking 1:1.

I feel so bad for Ash. What a waste of time that was. I feel like he should get a free pass into next year (if he wants it!).

I agree that Ash should get a free pass next year.

If I was set up with a total mental case, hearing voices, I would wonder what they saw in me that matched me with that. It’s an insult really.

I think Ash and Cass would be a good match.

I'm hoping Tori doesnt start to take Jack's side over Lea

I agree. She's being ridiculous now. I was half buying the 'only in it for the publicity' idea, but TATTOOS!! I'd love to know who's idea the tattoos were. Wouldn't be surprised to find it was something he's been thinking about anyway - and his can be hidden by most clothes - whereas hers looked to be inside wrist?

I think Lea seems far too clever to make it about taking sides. She's taking a subtle and supportive approach whilst not buying a single ounce of Jack's fuckery. My DP picked up that the chocolates were a sneer at her weight.

Not convinced Tori isn't sucked in. Would she really have got a fairly large ugly tattoo if she was just playing tactically for whatever outcome?

I was surprised Eden's dad didn't take him to task at all for the weird sex revenge thing. I mean, my dad would rather skip the country than discuss sex with a SIL but surprised it wasn't set up by production.

Lucinda's dad was ace. Mum very quiet though. His friends very caring and close to say he feels so isolated in life. That was interesting.

Did any Aussies identify the brand of chocolates Jacob got Lea? I'm wondering if they're cheap or fancy.

They were Cadburys Roses.

I'm so not looking forward to the return of Tim the younger's dreadful "best" man. Hopefully the groom will be better at getting him to tone down a bit after his cringeworthy performance at the wedding. 🌹

Sorry - that's right. It was in the lovely chat with Tristan that we heard him say that

Thanks. So a cheap, barbed gesture... sounds about right for Lidl Manbun.

Commercial sun beds are banned in Australia but he might have his own one!

Just diving into last night's episode now

We don't know. Maybe she particularly likes Cadbury a Roses in which case it would be thoughtful. Plus, they will be a fair bit more expensive in Australia than they are here.
