I do want it to work out for Ross and Barbs.

I quite like the vibe off him so far. I think steroid mum and Ming will be quite welcoming to him if he treats Barbie right.

Agree, although we do have to bear in mind that as it was a two couple episode, his only direct comparison was Shitlid, so he was bound to look good.

Placemarking in the new thread. I'm watching on catch up.

Melted Peter Kay is my favourite description of anyone ever. Bravo @FourForYouGlenCoco1.

Not sure if this has been discussed already but does Poundshop Barbie have traveller roots maybe?

I’m a little behind it tonight so not read all the thread. The redhead is very lovely. What a shame she’s been placed with a man who looks like Peter Kaye with a pudding basin. Quite a niche look.
Barbie’s family look like Bo Selector characters. They look like they are wearing masks?’

Bo selector 😂😂😂😂

I’m wondering whether plumped up filled lips make lip reading harder?

im also wondering why Barbie kept going on about being “celibate” and “going back to celibacy” when she’s not in a relationship. Don’t most of us do that? 😆 and it’s only been 9 months for her. Surely she just means she doesn’t do one night stands and likes sex to be within a relationship - is that really so out there? 🤔 (feeling old 😆)

Starseeking · 19/09/2024 22:43

So far the only ones I'm seeing make it through to the end together are clown man and the petite joker lady he got married to.

I was thinking the same when sasha was saying her vows. Anyhow I like them as a couple. On the surface they both seem to be decent and I kind of like how weird her parents are.

murasaki · 19/09/2024 22:52

To be fair, that's nailed it.

Polly is lovely. I can’t believe this guy.

Portfun24 · 19/09/2024 22:56

That guy Adam is an absolute helmet and extremely deluded and Sasha is cracking me up with the "we're a traditional family" when her dad said he had her mum pregnant within a month 🤣

It's brummie on steroids 😂 actually I'm thinking more Dudley? Scary looking family!

Ha, I said Dudley. Turns out it is Walsall.

As a Moseley girl, I judge.

Does anyone find the 'I can't admit that I have sex or kiss anyone in front of my Dad' thing weird? (Thinking both Peggy last year and Barbie this time)

I mean, obviously, I don't talk about it with mine and wouldn't have a massive snog in front of him, but a kiss at a wedding... yep. Kind of expected. Plus he knows I'm an adult and have sex, because that's normal.

How is she going to cope doing genital cupping or dealing with the bag of sex toys?

Don't most Dads know that their adult daughters are probably having perfectly normal sex by their 20s? Don't they have to grow up and get over it?

Yeah the word she's looking for is abstinent not celibate 🤣

mrsmalaprop · 19/09/2024 22:59

Moseley, @murasaki? Posh.

I'm in Bournville.

Hello neighbour.

murasaki · 19/09/2024 23:00

I'd forgotten the genital cupping. That made me laugh so hard I nearly fell off the sofa and the cat was distinctly unimpressed.

It’s the total lack of understanding of so many MAFs contestants over the idea that time, patience, tolerance and kindness have to underpin an ixperiment like this if it’s going to be gentle and fun. All the aggro, the conflict, the hurt and the nastiness just isn’t needed. But it would be boring if they weren’t there though I guess.

Nathan interests me because I think he could be really quite a lot more than he is currently able to articulate. He is definitely not neurotypical. I think he’s genuinely keen on Lacey and is a bit baffled by what she wants. He’ll give it to her if he can get his head round it.

Charley is the worst for wanting everything on day one. If she seriously thought about the emotional investment you need to make to set up a relationship for life, she’d realise that Eve needing time out is fine. Because that is what Eve needs. She also needs what we all need which is an invested partner who will take the time to get to know us before jumping to judgmental, passive aggressive sniping. Step back! Watch and listen! Be humane and patient! Drama drama drama - all so self centred.

Eve is very, very fragile. A huge work in progress for anyone who is with her I suspect.

Yes. The whole point of the set-up - married at first sight - is that you make a commitment to each other, and so you don't have to go through the whole, "do they like me? do they really though?" thing, which can lead to all sorts of insecurities and misunderstandings. You're married, you're past all that.

So you take the time. You get to know each other. You both make an effort to be kind to this stranger, and have someone being kind to you. You find ways of enjoying spending time together, and then you find out that you quite like each other, and, well, things just progress from there.

Even just within the context of the "experiment" they have eight weeks or something together, which is a long time to get to know someone when you spend every day together. There's no rush! Take your time. Be nice.

I think if I was in this experiment I'd be such a bundle of nerves for at least the first week that I wouldn't be able to tell whether I fancied the other person at all. But they're all desperate to leap to judgements straight away. It's mental.

Portfun24 · 19/09/2024 23:05

Can we just get rid of Adam and keep Alfie instead, he's got more personality in his big toe than that big helmet head.

JudgieJudie · 19/09/2024 23:06

browneyes77 · 19/09/2024 21:54

She doesn’t have sex outside of a relationship apparently.

Surely everyone is celibate between relationships.??

JudgieJudie · 19/09/2024 23:08

I thought he was more of an AI Peter Kay

Alfie is the only bloke we've seen so far that is marriage material, and I'd put a LARGE amount of money on the fact that I'm not his type. He has more nous in his little finger and more kindness, not to mention better hair, than any one else on the show, including the ixperts.
