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

[browneyes77]

Next thread - on we go!!

I find watching Tristan so far out of his comfort zone really uncomfortable. His social anxiety and his struggles in communicating are very high. The possibility of him being ND is very apparent. Being on the show is not fair on him and its not fair on Cass.
The failure in duty of care (not just these 2) is appalling.

I couldn't cope with Tristan. He is another one who is inadequate and controlling.

Madeleine is all about her.

Totally this.

And Tim the Elder: people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones - but no one picked him up on this.

Yes - Ron Perlman!

Good grief. The next new groom looks AWFUL! “Because you girls love that stuff” 😖

That one is doomed to fail already 🤣

I don’t think Cass and Tristan will make it at all.
His confidence issues run far too deep. He’s struggling to make simple moves of intimacy like a kiss or hug, which in return is making Cass wonder whether he even likes her, which then stops her from making a move on him in case he rejects her. It’s like a vicious circle with them both.

Michael& Steven both seem nice & decent.

Madeline and her medium nonsense is going to be painful.

Ash seems decent & raising his brothers is above and beyond, not everyone would help out as much.

I think he already thinks she's bonkers.

I was thinking the same thing about the show, they should be doing better screening, but what can they do really if people are
lying just to get on the show.

Look at your man ‘I want kids’ just lying his hole off to stay on the tv.

Also, when people are alone by themselves they can keep a lid on it and it’s only when you put them into a couple that the crazy cracks start showing themselves. If you want to know me, come live with me.

I absolutely love MAFS aus, but this year I feel annoyed at the producers. There's so many who shouldn't be on it, no duty of care at all. I know you always get one douchbag male, but now we're going to get another one! And Madeline, how is it fair to Ash?

Obviously the key part of their job is creating entertainment, part of which is matching up people who will clash and part of which is getting the most forceful personalities on the show whether they have a suitable match or not. Annoying but OK.

Where I have a problem is them using vulnerable people or mentally ill people.

Oh feck off...

"You girls like that stuff" and "the voices want to talk".

Enough of the "characters". There's enough story line with decent people who want to be matched.

There are so many other things they could do with well matched couples to make it entertaining. They don't need the "added for drama" people.

Hearing voices is definitely on another level alright.

I think Tori & Jack are faking their rship. I think they hope everyone will be super-invested in when they actually have sex. And I believe they will LIE and "announce" that they've had sex.

Palcemarkimg. Thank you for the new thread

Imagine how pink he would go if they actually did do it.

Wait Sara's friends are people outside the experiment? I thought she was with some of the other wives. That doesn't seem right. What about the people living in other cities?

Yeah, imagine foreplay with those lobster claws all up in your lady garden (per pp who coined that!)

Absolutely agree the producers are disgusting to put a "psychic medium" with a recently bereaved person.

I have been researching my cat's illness and am now bombarded with adverts on fb for people who can allegedly commune with dead pets. Disgraceful.

Is no one else getting psychosis vibes from Madeline? As someone who's best friend was diagnosed late 90's I can see her dazed look and recognise it instantly. Also the "vibe change" remarks and sudden shift in energy.

I'm really shocked they've allowed this as a "quirk" for viewers entertainment.

To be clear the glazed look I mentioned comes from their auditory hallucinations - they are listening intently which makes it hard for them to decipher what is real or not. My friend thought it was the voice of God, and poor Madeline had this triggered after the death of her Grandpa. I'm honestly worried what kind of MH checks they do on contestants if they've filmed her saying she gets auditory hallucinations and haven't clocked this.

Ash and Cass would have been a decent match.

Oh boy. I wonder if Maddie became a psychic before or after her 9 year relationship ended.

I knew Lucinda would love her!

More new couples? Yikes.

Gosh ,what a surprise Mad (dy) used to be an actress. I mean who’d have guessed.

Also I think Andrea is lovely looking but I can see the Shrek thing now. It’s her little button nose and face shape. I don’t think the PP meant she looked like an ogre.

The hairdresser, is he Steven? Very handsome. And his twin obviously! Such a shame he’s thinking he’s a second ‘you’ll do’ choice by the producers.
I’m seriously hoping Madeline doesn’t start communicating with the dads, brothers, mothers etc etc who’ve recently passed. I think she’ll get a very hard time if that happens. Recipe for disaster.
