MAFS Australia - Thread 4: “Don’t get your tits in a tangle. Relaaaaaax, enjoy the spaciousness, leave your guitars at home and let’s all be deeeeeece and not give any spoilers”

[browneyes77]

Ready for round 4 peeps! NO SPOILERS

Brace yourselves for more man buns, misogyny and mood swings.

I bet that trailer is for all the episodes this week and not just tomorrow night.

I think that basically just means "salesperson". I know because I was one, a long, long time ago!

Even though I kind of like Tim, surely Lucinda has to be getting sick of being his emotional support puppy.

There's a lot of people thus year with way too many issues to be on the show.

Oooooo
That trailer looks juicy

Lucinda And Tim Seem to be more jammed this week. Maybe that one night stand happened Tim looks content

Lauren and Jon. He fancies Ella So Much it's embarrassing
But
Lauren is too witty for him I hope her career does well.

Lobster and tori.
He is Getting bored and she is a mean girl that dislikes other women. She hates cass because all the men pretty
Much have rated her highest
In the looks Front and knows cass has her card marked.

Tristan and cass. I really want them to work

Suspect it may last a while
Post show

Sara and Tim.
They SeemVeryComfortable with each other now but I dont feel it will last that long on the outside.

She’s more muppet than Kermit.

Don't bring my beloved Kermit into it, who is nothing like Tori!

I'm really not au fait with gay male sexuality but I do wonder if "more feminine than I'm usually attracted to" is code for they've put two bottoms together?

Some of them really are damaged fannies.

Don't the producers do any due diligence on the contestants? Some of the men are incredibly emotionally immature and shouldn't be dating never mind pretend married .

🤣🤣🤣

🤣 put two bottoms together 🤣

Tori doesn't like smug, camera pans to Jack's smug face. Lol
I think she does believe they're the power couple because Jack told them, so thought she could say what she wanted and get away with it like Jack. (Because really, at the dinner party, Jack did say what he liked as Jono backed down.)
There's a lot more fire in Cass than they're showing. It's a shame really. I can't decide if they don't want to show it as she's too nice even when she confronts so it doesn't make good telly or if she's dimmed because she's so cautious of how she is so doesn't upset Tristan. He's got so much baggage it's a shame as he needed to do the work on himself before finding a partner really.

I feel so sorry for Michael. He isn't feminine and Greasy Stephen was cruel to spring that on him in front of the whole group. Arsehole.

Whatever happens with Old Tim next week sounds like it'll be positive for their relationship. Maybe he finally opens up to her.

Andrea looks so ill. She's definitely lost weight and her eyes suggest she isn't sleeping. I'm worried for her.

I couldn't care less about Jack(kn)ob and Gormless Tori. I'm bored of them both and they're getting too much screen time. I was surprised the Ixperts didn't bring up the Tattoos of Desperation though.

I really want Cass and Tris to work but I don't think he will get there without intense coaching. He responds when someone like John gives him clear and direct instructions, but on his own he flounders.

I'm meh about the other couples.

Does anyone know Cass's instagram account name? I just tried to find her but I can only see all of the others in pictures etc... I think she is one of the few normal ones from this season who seem genuinely nice with a bit of fire too.

Casadraallen_ - I found her!

Really not impressed by Stephen. He seems so uptight, cold and highly strung. Have we seen him laugh once? Even if he doesn't fancy Michael and isn't entirely comfortable, he's a grown man who has volunteered to shack up with a stranger. He could have mentally rehearsed a nicer way to express himself than that.

It all feels so pained, as though he had no idea what he was signing up to. Was that a hint at the end he's been messing about? Bet he makes it Michael's fault. I'm getting perpetual victim vibes.

Richard does not accept this is his fault. Poor Andrea.

Jayden is being a pain in the arse. What does he know about dating in your 40s and 50s?

I am expecting a breakthrough from Tori soon. Not immediately but it's a bit death from 1000 cuts and I think she will remember herself rather be totally cowed.

Lauren cannot go!!!

Ridge seems great. I wonder why all the crap about physical attraction being the main thing on his intro when he seems to genuinely care. Perhaps pragmatic - it's just a friendship if the sexual attraction isn't there, or would he be less pleasant and willing to try if Jade wasn't his type ? I'm quite intrigued as he came across so differently. I do find his 'old girl' jokes quite amusing.

@sdqtb

Richard is cross because little Richard is no longer getting free action.

Yes - it sounds as though if Andrea isn't putting out and putting up with him being extremely indiscreet about the sex they're having then she must hate him. He's being extremely manipulative.

He really is too old to pout to throw his toys out of his pram in this way. You'd think that at the very least he could use his skills as a "motivational speaker" to see how they could both get the best from a mature, fun and kind relationship.

Andrea's light now, compared to how she was before, seems dimmed and she seems so unhappy under Richard's entitled and bullying behaviour. I felt so sorry for her when he was whinging on the couch - her breathing was laboured and she looked like she'd turned inward on herself. Richard needs to do a great deal to bring this situation back - without expecting "intimacy" from her to make him feel validated.

She obviously needed support from friends and family about the situation she's in - hence the private conversations behind closed doors, after which he was cold towards her. Frankly in her shoes I think I'd start backing out - sometimes some relationship situations are just too much hard work to maintain. 🌹

I agree with all of this - she really doesn't look happy. Also I've not once seen Richard apologise and acknowledge that what he said was inappropriate and that it upset her. His only concern is that he's not getting any action and he's putting the blame firmly on her. Frankly I wouldn't want to be within 10 miles of 'little Richard' after the way he's behaved.

OMG, does he call his own sad pecker 'little Richard '???

BARFF

Not that we have seen

But he also had a point that she is now spending evenings having video calls. Not being together as a couple to work on their relationship.

So she is not trying if she is unavailable? (Which may be fair enough but she should say that she is not interested now and does not want to work on it)

She probably wants to get away from his gropey hands and talk to someone she trusts.

Stephen is far more feminine than Michael. I don’t think it is about two bottoms. One is bottom of the pile. One is a top guy.

One Word Stevie boy. Shampoo. It’s that bubbly stuff that your juniors rub into the heads of your clients.

One word Michael. Leave.

Richard is getting even redder than Jake. That pressure building up is diverting blood.
waaagh waaagh waaagh I don’t feel she has feelings there’s no intimacy= I signed up for my Nat King and I’m not getting it.

Jayden is such a cock as is his partner with the baboon arse lip. So is Tori. Someone else’s relationship is not their business. So shut your gubs.

Lauren deserves better than the lettuce she’s been landed with. His drawling whine would have my wall getting bigger. I couldn’t be with someone who hung me out to dry.

And aye the men may be damaged fannies. But they are still fannies. There is zero care for any of the contestants. It is all about the drama. And I think the women have taken the brunt of it.

It seems to be increasingly apparent on this series that women are there to be support animals. Even the feral ones.

Although I expect she’s the world’s first feral ragey limpet.

I thought the conversation Lucinda's dad had with Timothy was akin to pimping his daughter, telling Timothy to (can't remember the exact words but they were something like) .... get in there, have a one night stand.

And creepy baby Timothy thought this was hilarious. Poor Lucinda - a creepy pimp for a dad and a creepy baby for a 'husband'. After the way timothy treated her in the car on the way there you'd think she'd have made sure her parents knew what a ghastly man-baby he is.

Timothy seems very emotionally damaged and immature.

What the hell is the matter with these people - generally? Do they get paid by the hour so the longer they stay in the more they get?? I do enjoy watching it but wonder why the producers picked so many losers this year - particularly the husbands.

crockofshite Interesting you bring that up as it was puzzling me - everybody finding it (rightly) disgusting that Jac(kn)ob offered up Tori for sex but totally cool and hilarious that Luncinda's dad gave Tim permission to pump and dump.

I get there are differences, primarily that Lucinda actually wants Tim to sleep with her. But it didn't sit well with me.

I don’t think Tim is creepy. Just lugging baggage and a lot of it.

He’d have been creepy (like some of the others insisting they are married) if he’d have gone with that suggestion just because he was ‘married’. I’m not sure if he was creepy for laughing at the suggestion or just unbelieving/uncomfortable.

i think it was creepy of Lucinda’s dad imploring him to have a shot on Lucinda. Mind you I couldn’t take him seriously because he reminds me on Ouiser’s boyfriend in Steel Magnolias.

I think Lucinda is the best person to judge if and when she wants some. She has made it quite clear.

I think Tim has been gentlemanly in not going there if he wasn’t all in, so to speak.

I agree, Tim has some unpalatable sides to him (sulking being a big one) but I don't think he's creepy. It's Luncinda's dad I think was out of line.

It's Andrea I feel most sorry for. It all started so promisingly but now she's stuck with a grumpy controlling ass of a man. I HATE how they all see 'intimacy' as the sign of a good relationship but Richard certainly hasn't made the connection between his behaviour and the lack of it. He just sees it as poor Andy's responsibility to want him again. 🙄

I'm not defending Jaydan for his comments but, do find it amusing the amount of people on here saying he should mid his own business whilst simultaneously dissecting everyone's relationships. They are there for everyone to see their relationships after all
