MAFS Australia Thread 7: Let’s rehash - Doing the deed has planted the narcissistic seed. The jam has stopped jamming. The Bad Bitch energy isn’t bitching and Air BnB are still waiting for Nipple Boy to pay his invoice (NO SPOILERS!).

[browneyes77]

Into the final days and it’s still a shit show!

@MaggieFS but then you would miss out on all the fun of these threads! 😢

I know it's not in the spirit of the show but I find Final Bows a bit boring unless it's a complete car crash

Me too. I'm looking forward to Lauren but there's generally not enough content for an hour and a half. Times two.

@User364837 - thanks, that brightened up my day

I tend to fast forward through all the guff.

I think like jonno's felt he was in a strong position to be defensive, verging on the offensive criticising Lauren and stuck to it because he's been savvy/ moral enough to keep it totally PG. He thinks that's the main point.

He's not accepting that it's the bigger picture. He was extensively and covertly messaging another woman when Lauren was giving the experiment a go however she felt week by week (and I think she was harsh at times), and compartmentalising that from his experience with Lauren. Plus the optics are extra bad doing so whilst Lauren was in hospital.

I could see his sister's self righteous nature in him there.

Not even to have the balls to greet Lauren was spineless.

All caught up -

Tori is euphoric and is also an absolute cow. No wonder she has no women friends! She really thinks she and Lobster are the top dogs in this, top of the food chain as she put it, and viewers would be rooting for them. Yuk.

Jayden wearing his brothers suit and his Nanna's slippers.

Liked Jayden/Eden Love swap, but wish he wasn't looking full on into the camera, struck as insincere.

Jade giving Ridge a wallop! She was having her camera time to give Ridge the big-ups and he made that daft noise over her - but OMG to walloping him, what the heck? Immature much?

Jonno was hedging his bets - knew Lauren was too much for him and kept an eye on Ellie while staying with Lauren for screen time. Can't really blame him, from the outset Lauren said - to his face - he was too nice for her.

New love connection - the obvious would be Jonno and slippery Ellie (who honestly just wants a sperm donor with £).

Otherwise -

I reckon Tristan and Gnat (her that was married to Collins w-a-y back when) would work (never saw Tris as gay) - Gnat was so annoying at her wedding to Collins but she displayed a maturity in later episodes that I think would work with Tris.

Or Cass and Tim (not the sticky one).

I wondered this. He's a completely pathetic worm and Lauren had his number about his character right at the beginning. 🌹

Yes to Nat and Tristan! They could have bonded over her cosplaying activities, dressing up and larking about in character instead of him feeling under pressure to be something in a relationship he had no experience of (not that Cass did anything wrong).

Agree, I wish they would just condense all the final vows into one episode. I always end up fast forwarding through all the boring recap bits and the sections where they do a vox swaying between stay or leave, which is essentially a version of their final vows anyway. Totally boring, just get to the point and then give us the reunion dinner party, that's what we're here for.

While he shouldn't have been texting her, I think it was obvious from the start that Ellie and Johnno liked each other and that he and Lauren were yet another mismatch. He should have left the experiment though and asked Ellie out. Although Lauren looked embarrassed and hurt I don't think she was that upset- I'm surprised they've had sex tbh as there seems zero chemistry between them - they're more like brother and sister.

How did we find out that Tim is loaded? I must have missed that!

When will the reunion be? And how does that work? My first time and I don't want to Google in case I see spoilers.

@SittingontheSidelines Monday 7.30pm E4 is the reunion dinner party. Everyone comes back and there's normally some drama.

Tuesday is like a final commitment ceremony (with no commitment) when the experts speak to some of the couples and look at there best bits/bring us up to date with the relationship

Thanks, I too didn't want to Google. Dp will be ecstatic to get the TV slot back!

The final vows preview... you just know the clip of Jack is going to turn out to be an anticlimax. The clip they previewed made it look like he was going to dump her, but I bet he says something along the lines of "we're not in love but let's give it a red hot go". Aussies love saying red hot go, also fair crack

Thanks

I think someone said he owned a digital tech company or something. I don't think it's been confirmed and I ain't googling to check 😁

Final vows are usually pants. I'm only watching to see Lauren squish Jonno the git.

That's exactly what DH and I said. I know I'm tuning into a negative so and so but I really don't think much would be dramatic at all without the editing.

I thought it was only me! Usually I stop tuning in at this point but I just want to see Lauren give Jonno the business.

It probably was, and is yet another example of how much is manipulated. You'd have expected Jack to have fired back at Lauren 'well what about what Jono's being saying', but he must have been told not to, to save it for later.

@hoxtonbabe I'm just waiting for the reunion dinner party on Monday because Ellie and Ben will be there along with Jono and Lauren.

Big Tim will definitely go for Jack one last time because he has nothing to lose.

Collins will definitely want to grab a Dinner party 15 seconds of fame so will be a production puppet.

Can't wait 😛

Gawd, I'd forgotten about Collins. Ugh.
