MAFS AUS Thread 6: Christmas Glazed Ham and all the purple nipply trimmings are giving us the ick, as is Dick. We’re just here for The Bullshit Investigators and mission impossible gamboles….. (NO SPOILERS)

[browneyes77]

Gambole = Brummie word for Forward Roll.

Just in case anyone was wondering…..🤣

It's the equivalent to getting stuck in the dick-sand.

I'm really pissed off the ixperts glossed over the gaslighting by Richie and never challenged him.
I also think Andi's friend has some responsibility because she virtually fed him the line about Andi's past trauma!! I was so frustrated by her at the time

He's been shagged into submission.

What is with the women's eyebrows.

Ridge is so gorgeous. Ridge and Jade make a stunning couple.

Yebbut it's home-stays this week so prepare yourself for lots of:

deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeece.

He didn't really sock it to Richard though - nor did the other two. Richard's toxic behaviour to Andrea wasn't really touched on and she really didn't get the support, based on what was shown, that she should have done. She's a class act and she's well rid of him. 🌹

Really disappointed they didn't call out Richard. I wish Andi would have said more about how she feels other than 'not being listened to'. She must be so relieved to be out.

John really tried to crack Tori and Jack. Tori has no idea what a healthy relationship looks like and how you are supposed to feel. She's disconnected from herself, the ixperts are right on that. She delivers a few sentences like 'i am my priority etc' because she thinks that's what anyone wants to hear but she doesnt know or say how she actually feels. Are the ixperts trying to make good TV or to actually warn Tori of Jack?

Who would have guessed Eden turns out to be manipulative.

Why do they keep playing this annoying music like from a toddler play group whilst some couples are in the couch. Like Tim and Lu who had a big week but they play this silly music. Gah, it really pissed me off. Massively. I feel insulted.

Don't get me started on Sara. So smug that some people are buying her new image. She seems calculated and knows what to say to whom and when. Kept checking if the ixperts were buying too.

Tim all surprised of Sara's gentle side this week. Yeah that's how the cycle of abuse works. The other one will be back soon enough because this woman hasn't changed. She keeps emphasising she emotionally cheated on him. Sara, we know you shagged your ex ok. Only guilty people add unnecessary detail.

Does anyone believe Tori and Jack are intimate but not sleeping with each other? Like how? Tori, wank me off but I can't bring myself to shag a whale? Is this why Jack is sleeping better?

I can well believe he's graciously allowed the whale to nosh him off. Perhaps as a birthday gift.

Had a lump in my throat when Timothy and Lucinda were up. I hope they make it. He seems genuine and she is v patient. Given his recent bereavement im not surprised he had his walls up. But from what he said he always has had.

Teen dd said aren’t they going to mention Rich’s gaslighting! Can’t believe they didn’t! Im
glad dd spotted the behaviour.

Maybe Jack and Tori are intimate but Jack can’t get it up due to the steroids?

Tori had a good point about not having sex because of the pressure.
Tim and Lucinda don't get any pressure about sleeping together.
Jack is not a nice person but keeping asking about sex and feelings is off putting.
I like Eden but is she a bit 9f a narcissist by saying why can't you do something nice for me when he says he had been doing nice things.
Yes Eden and Jayden are stirring but would we rather it all lovey Dovey like Jade and Riche or a bit drama. The drama makes us want to watch.

I think she’s talking about when it’s not their turn on the main commitment ceremony couch. I noticed that while they’re all waiting, they mainly sit on sofas but 2 poor couples are on an ottoman type thing with no back. Which must be quite uncomfortable if they’re there for hours and hours

This show pisses me off. Wasting time trying to get a genuine reaction from Jack & Tori. Then aw, Richard, you look broken. Prick.

YABCU completely posting a thread that means nothing without prior knowledge of any previous thread(s)
Exclusive and twatty

Tori said Jack would fit into his world and she would fit into his. Jack said he feels good and he’s sleeping better. Tori said they feel they don’t want to have sex as the pressure is too much. Where in G’s name are the emotions in this relationship?? Why didn’t the experts ask that??

Glad Cass and Tris have called it a day and I hope they stay good friends after and….. maybe one day they’ll try again. I’m an old romantic, they’re both such lovely people.

Sarah and Tim - sorry still not believing it.

My favourite are Luc and Tim, they are good for each other and seem to have a lot of fun. I only hope Tim loosens up enough to fall for Luc.

Come back soon Lauren, I miss you, you’re hilarious and love how you call a spade a spade. 😄

Haven't caught up with the thread yet, but just want to say I am so disappointed at the tears for Jayden and Richard. Eden and Andi are both much quieter than their husbands, so aren't getting listened to and aren't as able to articulate their points.
I'm a bit sick of the slut shaming aimed at Sara by the others. For how long does she have to flog herself in the market place? He either forgives her or he doesn't. As he has slept with her again we are assuming he has fogiven her so they both need to be doing equal heavy work to make the relationship work, not just her. The relationship dynamics aren't healthy.

I'm wondering if the experts are calling Jack out as it's obviously red flag behaviour and Tori seems to be ignoring it. If either of them acknowledged it then they'd let it slide like the others...
Andi has called dicky out so they don't need to. Glad it's over. There's a reason he's single at that age.

I'm glad Cass and Tristan had a proper conversation so came onto the couch with the same answer. Shame but it was never going to work.

Good to see Tim senior's progress. Not sure it will become anything but he needed this to make him realise that there are issues he needs to work on. I wonder if Lucinda is happy to have an 'experience' with this so will be able to move on from it.

They seem to hold Tori more to account than Jack for putting up with his shitty behaviour? Maybe because (1) it's all fake and they have rumbled their pact to stay in and (2) Jack can't string a sentence together.

They have not held Sara or Richie to account for their behaviour. Andi deserves so much better.

I'm also feeling uncomfortable with the sex questions- it's like they're forcing her. They don't push other couples in whether they've done the deed. I know what we're seeing if Jack and tori but I also want to shout Maybe she just doesn't want to do it on tv!

Don't be ridiculous.
You only need knowledge of the programme.
The thread title references comments from past discussions but if you're watching the programme at uk TV pace you can jump right on.

I watched later last night.
I am pissed off that they didn’t lay some blame at Dick’s door. She looked v much like a woman escaping abuse to me, flatter outwardly emotionally, upset but pretending all is fine. I said it previously but I dislike him more than Jack.

You are welcome to join in, everyone on the mafs threads are really welcoming. Just don’t be an arse and don’t post spoilers, that’s about it.
