Can’t see another thread on this so sorry if I’ve missed it, but I surely can’t be the only sad sack unduly excited that MAFS is back later this month?!

I see a scandal has kicked off before it’s even started due to one of the contestants allegedly being a domestic abuser 😱

Anyone want to join a discussion thread for when the series starts on 16th? 🙌

That's a terrible thing to say. She lost two friends in a car crash and she's obviously really suffering. He has absolutely no emotional intelligence at all and I don't think that's anything to do with him having ADHD.

When she mentioned it again he said "cool"

Charlie is incapable of admitting any fault at all with her behaviour. I don’t blame eve for walking off really- Charlie is haaaard work. Eve may well have a side to her too but I know I’d also need some space if I had Charlie all over me all the time.

annoyed by the next groom also wanting a model as his bride. Like Caspar, he is distinctly average looking. I do wonder what these men see when they look at themselves in the mirror

This brilliant. Mumsnet Goggle Box is the best!

Charlie does the classic "wanting to talk" just so she can offload and persuade Eve she's right. She not actually in listening to anything Eve says.
As soon as they both agreed they wanted go back to how it was at the beginning Charlie's rehashing it yet again. If she had let Eve have space and find herself a good tequila bar for a night they'd both be happier now.

This.

I don't like it when someone pulls back and won't resolve a problem, but in this case, Charlie could have fixed this by saying 'ok. It's fine for you to sleep on your own tonight. Now let's get drunk and have a laugh in the meantime' and try to build it back up at Eve's pace. I do think that when there is a mismatch in speeds, you have to go at the slower one's pace (or near to it) or they will shut down and run away.

She couldn't let it lie, though.

It seems that when she feels rejected she goes for extreme reassurance seeking, which means pushing and pushing to hear what she wants to hear and getting angry when she doesn't.

I know that the experts will say the same as us - Eve needs to talk and reassure and Charlie needs to stop pushing...

But really, those seem very ingrained behaviours and they just aren't a good match at all.

mrsmalaprop · 18/09/2024 23:15

And Nathan and Lacey are boring me. He is not capable of communicating the way she wants him to, but they are BOTH as dull as shite in any case. I don't think I could have a conversation with either of them that didn't put me to sleep.

Thank God for K and K who seem fully loved up!😂

KK are proof that there really is someone for everyone. Tbf Kristina is refreshingly natural (and shiny). She's like Nicky Graham from Big Brother.

Missanimosity · 18/09/2024 23:19

Actually I think Eve is very manipulative and controlling. I am saying this because she can not seem to comprehend that charlie needs communication. Called her a liar, having a normal convo at table she got up saying you shouting again, she was the one who raised her voice not charlie. I understand charlie, she was shut off. She is very much but could just be told to go slower and take few hours away, not 12 hours? Ok, i m well over invested. Thr guy from a trailer looks like he got his hair cut with mixing bowl over his head

Pantaloons99 · 18/09/2024 23:31

I've no time for ' you're shouting at me' when she's clearly not shouting. These two are absolute car crash.

New groom lego head is going to be good viewing tomorrow

TheBers2024 · 18/09/2024 23:32

Charlie never listens when Eve does say something though. It's always about her and her feelings.

I think a few of them have been under the mixing bowl including Eve. I don't get it. No one famously hot has ever had hair like that even when monks were mainstream.Why would you go for a look made famous in Dumb and Dumber ?

Haha at dumb and dumber. Or me circa 1981, thanks, mum.

CaptainBeanThief · 18/09/2024 23:54

Kieran and Kristina are definitely my favourite couple by a mile and there are only 4 "married" so far.
I feel sorry for Charlie actually, she tries to explain how she feels to eve - she did give her space, eve had sex with her, walked out and ignored her for the rest of the night, that's cruel!
Casper is a prick - he is no oil painting 😅
I'm way tooooo invested.

I can't wait until tomorrow's episode

Charlie reminds me of a dark haired ferne cotton

Thank you! It had been annoying me who she reminded me of.

dapsnotplimsolls · 18/09/2024 23:56

I'm curious as to how the producers are going to try and bugger K and K up.

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:06

As much as I love KK so far, I feel like he still looks like he has joke teeth in.

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:16

Charlie - she is utterly suffocating. Yes she wants Eve to communicate but she doesn't do it well herself. She attacks and barely takes a breath.
And to finish every argument with a snipe is horrendous. When Eve said she'd like to gather her thoughts and have another night to herself, she also said she didn't want to upset Charlie. C gave her the go-ahead and Eve said thank you. It was calm and that should have been the end of it, but no, Charlie had to get in a dig about "you'll do what you want anyway"
Then they sit down for dinner and agree that they both want things to go back to how they were, and let's enjoy the last evening. But nope, Charlie then has to rehash everything that they've already argued about. Eve clearly imploded and walked away. But Charlie then yelled after her about leaving the experiment etc, and that's all just a bit toxic to me.

Eve - I'm not a fan, but can totally understand the overwhelming feelings she's having.

I personally would struggle to share a room with someone I've just met, far less a bed, while they're going on at me to tell them how they feel.

😁. Whatever they decide it will be when Kristina is suffering the worst from PMDD.

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:18

Oh and re them having sex and then Eve walking out, WHY did she walk out? They clearly had another argument, but what about? I'm guessing Charlie was pissed off that Eve needs space, so chased after her shouting and banging her door 😆

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:22

Emma looked great with her curls 😍

I wonder if Nathan's about-turn was partly that she seemed a lot less like his sister when she had done her hair differently and wasn't being so full on.
I have a real ick about certain styles of clothing and I know for certain that I'd get the ick if we went on the honeymoon and he was wearing clothes that I hated. Also conversely, I could start to fancy someone if they had a certain style and Aura, even if I didn't initially fancy them, if that makes any sense.

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:23

Whoever said Charlie has a Drew Barrymore look about her, I totally see that. And the Ferne Cotton thing too.

chaosmaker · 19/09/2024 00:24

Only like KK as a couple this early in. They seem capable of talking, listening and enjoying each others company.

Lacey needs to chill out but is very insecure so won't and her husband shuts off I think or just gets distracted by anything.

The posh couple, boring. He should just say that she is the spitting image of his twin and incest is not for him.

Charlie is too much and doesn't listen when Eve wants space to work out how she's feeling. Both too selfish to listen to the other and too many tantrums.

Maybe the next lot will be better. This part always drags for me, don't really like the wedding/honeymoon bits. At least they've made them shorter.

Twonewcats · 19/09/2024 00:24

For someone so into fitness, style, grooming etc, Nathan seems to have zero confidence around Lacey. When he kissed her, it was all very 14yr old nervous boy.

I'm in , love MAFS !

I agree, Eve is difficult, pretty sure she's got roid rage too which isn't being shown perhaps she walks off before she loses her shit, she looks like she's on gear and her skin certainly looks like she might be. I think they're showing Charlie out to be needy but it's Eve who has issues.

Casper-I think there is something with his sister too and incest crossed my mind too, very odd the way he spoke to her at the wedding, like an over tired rude child who needed and early bath.

Emma is NOT the same shape as Casper, he's an absolute bag of shite!

Can't wait for Poundland Sam Faiers on her PMDD week 😱

Lacey is lovely, she needs much lighter hair that's all, black hair ages her and pulls all the light from her face. She mentioned the car crash because he keeps asking her why she doesn't drive, she doesn't just keep randomly bringing it up.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Blueberryporridgeplease · 19/09/2024 01:56

Slightly off topic - can you imagine if Caspar and Emma had been on love is blind rather than MAFS, fallen in love, he prosed, she said yes…then…the door opens…and there’s his sisters stunt double 😂

retinolalcohol · 19/09/2024 01:58

I'm seeing Eve being called an awful lot of names on social media and I just don't understand it.

If Charlie was a man, everyone would be up in arms about lovebombing, emotional manipulation etc.

Yes Eve has behaved poorly by having sex with her and then wanting to sleep alone, but then we don't know what the pillow talk was like! We saw how intense Charlie was in the pool. Theres every chance she was all starry eyed asking for 350 reassurances again - when they've known one another 3 days.

She also shouts in Eve's face a lot, and cuts her off. I can't say I blame Eve for walking away from the shouting in circles. I also can't blame her for not being in love after 3 days.

I will say she has a bit of a dark look in her eye sometimes though, as a PP has said - interested to see how it pans out Hmm

JubileeJuice · 19/09/2024 02:18

Eve is awful. She's gaslighting already. Caspar is also awful. I love K and K!

Lacey is also awful. She's been on multiple TV shoes with both the mother and twin. She is fame-hungry and comes across as trying to get the sympathy vote. I like Nathan - I have ADHD and know the struggle. I'd switch off too, if I had to talk to Lacey.

He said, "Cool" when she was talking about losing two friends because she'd already talked about it, and he probably felt awkward as fuck when she brought it up again. And that's only the times we've seen on camera. He wwwnt implying it was cool that her friends had died, but that he was cool that she didn't drive because of it. He needs someone fun, chilled, less needy and closer to his age.

I think it's because he doesn't actually fancy her and is just going through the motions. And probably has done his research and doesn't want to be honest on camera.
