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…..🤣

Yeah, it’s like he’s having an epiphany moment really.

And coming to that realisation has just hit him hard

Tim and Lu.

this is probably the first match that I can NOW see what the ixperts were thinking/their thought process in matching them

Ah fuck off John with the “Richard you look broken”. Enabling his shit behaviour. FFS 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🙄

I think sitting there being celebrated by even the people who dislike him, he’s so wrong footed,, he’s scared and in such unfamiliar territory.

John: Richard, you look broken......but we don't give a shit you abusive twat, now off you fuck

Maybe??!!

Oh but Andie looks fine 🙄 ffs 🤬

Right. How can they not see it?

Actually, it's really irresponsible of the ixperts not to watch the week's footage. They miss so much and draw some wonky conclusions, basing inappropriate advice on it.

How many more weeks have we of MAFS? Anyone know?

Yeah this is my frustration too. They can’t just go off what they see at the dinner parties and what they hear at the couch sessions

They need to watch the weeks footage like we do, so they can get a full view of what’s been happening in that relationship to give a more balanced view and better advice.

But if they give him sympathy, they’re just enabling his behaviour. Which is dangerous for the next woman he dates.

I’m so sorry if someone has already asked this question, but I have missed some episodes.
What has caused Rich and Andie to get to where they are now?

I wondering what the issue is going to be between Jayden and Eden. He said that she said to him that he had to do something otherwise they were done, maybe it was to something to do with how hard he's gone at Sarah.

I would wager the Ixperts do watch more than the dinner party / attend the ceremony. They’ll be sent clips and be heavily briefed by the producers. They can’t watch what the viewer watches as it doesn’t exist until the edit!

There’s 34 episodes I think and the episode we just watched was Ep28.

We’ve got home stays yet haven’t we? So I’m guessing they’ll be next week?

Agree@browneyes77 . Tho maybe just stating how he looks, then will go deeper about what has really gone on. We will find out Monday.

I hope so 🤞🏼

Hoping it will go something like this:

John: “Richard, you look broken?”

Dick: “Yes, I am”

John: “I have no idea why given you’ve been gaslighting and DARVO’ing the shit out of Andrea for weeks. You’ve destroyed the poor woman. You want to see broken? Look at Andrea you big twat”

Probably won’t go quite like that though…..🤣🤣

Tim senior is grieving the life he didn't have because of his upbringing etc. It makes you sobb uncontrollably. I hope he continues to connect to himself like that. It's the only way for a future with Lucinda or any partner.

He's bewildered at the fact people like him. It also makes you sob uncontrollably. Probably believed all his life nobody liked him and didn't know it.

I want a Lucinda.

He was very explicit about their sex life at a commitment ceremony. In a really vile way.

That was Andie’s first ick. She still liked him but it made her pull back from being intimate with him.

He then continued being like this despite her asking him not to. And he constantly dismissed her feelings about it, not ever listening to anything she said. He was too focussed on playing the victim. And put all the blame on Andie for their relationship stalling, accusing her of never being into him, pretending to cry a lot and recently accusing her of lying and making things up when she again tried to express her frustrations with his behaviour. He won’t hear anything she says and is determined to make out she has issues because of ‘trauma’ from her ex.

He’s been a complete gaslighting arsehole.

Rich may look broken, yes. But look at Andi. She's on edge and in fear of the next outburst. She's the victim. If John doesn't address this appropriately on Monday I will personally email him and call out his BULLSHIT.

@Kate3150 Andi also seemed to have asked him to stop blaming their problems on Andis past relationships and to stop bringing them up and Rich ignores it. She said today that he won't respect a clear boundary.

@browneyes77
Thanks

I feel sick at watching Tim and Sarah.

And Tori. Her mask keeps slipping. Saying to Tim she'll be the bigger person etc. their only defense is now to tear others down. She's not talking facts unlike Tim senior.

The cracks are getting bigger in his armour! Love luce, they might never make it to romance but she's the friend he needs! People are there for a season or a reason

@Slightlylostalongtheway yes I can see them remaining friends. There has been no betrayal in this relationship, just walls, which is a lot better than most.

Poor Andi! He is such a gas lighting narcissistic prick...if the ixperts can't see it then they're definitely not experts.
