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…..🤣

I don't know why, but I just feel like Deeece is being set up for a fall somehow.
If he decides Jade isn't The One for him, he's going to be made out to be a right bastard after being introduced to Her Child.
It was way too soon, she even spoke to her child just before the wedding to tell her she was getting married, and it just feels wrong to me.
He didn't even know she had a child til after the ceremony, he could hardly object, it was too late.
The daughter is what? 10 or so? It's just not right.
It's not like the other parents at the school gates won't know who she is, they really shouldn't have participants with young children.

One hopes that he is introduced only as "mummy's friend from work"

Rather than mummy's new husband but not really married legally.

I reckon they are a good couple. He has a public persona that is a bit ott which could go into cringe at times but seems okay rest of the time. He probably needs that "whacky persona" to get picked for the show.

@RunningAwayToJoinTheCircus it was early yes. I wonder if she introduced them because she needed to know whether they'd get on. It would affect her decision making in the ixperiment.

Jades face is getting more and more pumped up, it is starting to look disfigured now in the later episodes.

Just found these threads!

Well I realise I'm gunna be a total black sheep here but...I don't see the problem with Tori and Jack.
Tori I find very beautiful and incredibly composed and eloquent for someone who has had to defend the same point week after week now.
I don't quite get what Jack's crime is meant to be? That he hasn't fucked her yet? Don't think Timothy has shagged Lucinda yet has he? That he doesn't fancy her? I'm pretty sure Lauren doesn't fancy thingamijig (possibly reality TVs most boring ever contestant, can't remember his name).
I don't think Jack is all that bad to be perfectly honest. He doesn't seem to be mean, he takes quite a lot of flak on the chin. They aren't genuine, but then so many of the couples in there aren't.

Richie is an absolute prick.

Jayden is really leaning into his Inspector Javert role isn't he? It's unpleasant to watch. I'd say him admitting to revenge snagging his exs friend is worse than anything we've seen Jack do, and yet Jayden is somehow Mr Purity?

Eden....Christ. What a snake? I've no love for Sara at all, but Eden sat there and watched her man bully this woman, and even helped egg the pudding. Her plastic surgery is comical too.

Lucinda and Tim....Well, I absolutely adore Tim, and I like Lucinda a lot too, although (another unpopular opinion): I sometimes wonder how much is an act.

Ridge...Really nice guy.

Younger Tim....Seems quite boring but for some reason I reckon he's good in bed.

Jack’s crimes are plentiful. He’s a bully - as shown by the muzzle and whales comments. He’s a sleeze - as shown by the comment he made about it being ok for one of the boys to sleep with Tori if they had a wife swop week.
He’s absolutely stringing Tori along - he doesn’t fancy her enough to sleep with her but he’ll throw her a crumb like saying he wants kids in the next two years so she will keep writing stay and he can get more exposure.
Yep, he’s a real catch is Jack.

@Alarmingghhh Would you be happy with a partner who told friends whilst out in company to " muzzle their woman " ?

Would you be happy to be fat shamed or see anyone else fat shamed ?

Would you like your partner to offer you out to other men to sleep with ?

I agree with some of your other round ups but I'm sorry Jack is a total and utter wanker

Alarmingghhh "Jayden is really leaning into his Inspector Javert role isn't he? It's unpleasant to watch. I'd say him admitting to revenge snagging his exs friend is worse than anything we've seen Jack do, and yet Jayden is somehow Mr Purity?"

I do tend to agree with you. That Jayden is really bad! But not sure Jack is all good though!

I am disappointed with Timothy, he is very judgmental and unpleasant. The way he was so smug with Ridge was very sad. He seems to think he has nothing to learn from anyone younger than himself! Sadly, Timothy has made Lucinda act like him!

RunningAwayToJoinTheCircus personally, I agree they shouldn't have parents of young children.

However, I think Jade and Ridge are adorable. I do think she was right to introduce her daughter to Ridge. I'm expecting she didn't introduce him as her husband etc. Just a new friend. If they didn't get on I expect that would be it for her.

effoffwind agree that comment about muzzle your woman was just awful.

By ere way does anyone know what 'going postal' means?

Jade's green dress is stunning.

I'm watching the dinner party. Timothy is such a twat. I wish he could give Lucinda the attention she needs rather than worrying about point scoring with Jack.

Jayden is being so obnoxious!

I can't help thinking if Timothy has put the energy he put into hating Jack, had gone into finding out about Lucinda, they could have had this breakthrough weeks ago!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love ya tomorrow, you're only a day awaaaaay

@Alarmingghhh the thing with Tori and Jack is that Tori is more into him than him into her but he's not saying it but trying to avoid the subject. What he says and tells her does not match his actions. She keeps saying her and Jack are strong but they aren't. He's leading her on.

That's not the case with the others who aren't sleeping with each other. Lucinda and Tristan for example know where they stand.

Timothy and Lucinda have said for weeks that they are having a ton of fun together. But it wasn't until last week that we really saw it. I do believe Tim when he says hes more likely to fall in love with a friend. He's gradually letting his guard down and might start to fall for Lucinda. But I think they are an unequal couple. Tim has issues he can't see through but Lucinda can and it would be hard for her to not be his therapist. I also can't see Tim being able to emotionally support Lucinda much when she needs it because he doesn't have the degree of spirituality she has. Not remotely.

I see what you're saying re Tim (elder) and Lucinda but it can work...aside from the trauma/walls they are very similar to me and my husband. I am very lucinda and he Tim. We had a handfasting ceremony as part of our wedding and his beliefs are very different (raised catholic). We have been married 14yrs now and are very happy

I am missing Lauren!

I've been shared a clip from the honeymoon and Jack clearly states if they're not having sex in 6 weeks time, then there's something wrong.

What week are we in now?? 🤔

It’s interesting that we assume Jack doesn’t fancy Tori. He’s a vain, buff bloke, there are men like that wirh penis problems because they use too much porn and steroids. Maybe the problem isn’t Tori. At first I thought he was one of those kinksters who deny themselves sex but use pron all the time. Lock their Willy in a . Little cage, I don’t kniw its name. And I’m not googling

After several snide comments followed by the whale decable, the seeing him flirt with Jade, I don't think it could be more obvious that Jack thinks Tori is too fat for him. And needs a LOT more filler. Maybe he wouldn't be able to get it up for Jade either but I'm sure he'd have a bloody good go.

Another MAFSHysteria fan here, but I will look up the Chris and Dave one too.

I also like So Dramatic - an Australian podcast which covers lots of the reality TV shows but has some good stuff on MAFSAus. It follows up on previous series (serieses?) and has some good, long and in depth interviews with cast members. The ones with Bronte from last year were really eye opening. They also talk to various exes if they can to get their side of the story. It is on Aus pace so ahead of us, and lots of spoilers!

@Alarmingghhh - have you watched the earlier episodes ? The secret girlfriend, muzzle your woman, sleep with my wife, watch out for the whales, saying one thing to the blokes & bluffing over for Tori & general misogyny?

I hope Richie and Andi will leave tonight but I think he'll put stay. And cry.
