MAFS UK 2: Eminem, Clownboy, sisters, and incoming shit lids - No Spoilers Please (added by MNHQ)

Right, bring on the new batch.

The saying

Oh, to have the confidence of a mediocre man

Could apply to the majority of these contestants

Yes, the Internet, porn and the influence of various incel types have definitely fucked with a lot of mens brains.

Yes, the saying of give me the confidence of a mediocre man is also spot on. As a PP said Internet dating just seems to be a list of men's requirements. The Men with the biggest lists also tend to resemble potatoes 🥔

Ross and Sasha have a chance I think, they seem kind and open to each other.

I’m not convinced with these two. I get the impression she’s just on it for the “fame” and has told her misfit father “don’t worry dad, I’ll pretend I’m celibate to get out of any intimacy”. With Ross he’s coming across as someone who just wants to get his leg over. I do hope they don’t come on this show thinking ‘once I’ve “married” her it will be on tap sex’. I don’t see how they can complete the experiment with no intimacy at all, as some of the tasks they’re set are to develop just that.

@Bluetrews25 - I do think the incel misogyny is a factor. There's some worrying opinion polling data about the way in which such ideas are becoming more widespread among younger men in Britain.

Yes this 100%
Alfie was protecting her. Pre warning basically because if Adam was saying these things to Alfie who he had known for 5 minutes, then what was he saying to his friends and the camera. He didn't want Polly to look a fool. The other crowd at the other other wedding turned it into gossip by talking amongst themselves and making a one word comment into something dramatic. They had long conversations making assumptions and judgements, Alfie did none of that.

I have 6 veneers on my front top teeth. Had them done when I was 17 because I have a gap between my two top teeth (think Madonna). Bit of a trait on my dads side of the family.

I got it done free on the NHS because I was under 18. I’d had an op prior to that to straighten those two teeth as they were turned inwards. So dentist said they had to be straightened. I had the veneers put on after to cover the gap (not sure why they did 6 teeth to be honest, the gap was only between the two middle top front teeth. They did the other two either side aswell)

I’m now 47 and the veneers are still going strong and haven’t fell out and haven’t needed replacing.

(Granted they’re not bright white, they were made to match the colour of my other teeth, so you can’t tell they’re veneers).

Disappointed to read that Sacha has been on 2 other reality shows. I was hoping she was she was genuine as it seems Ross is one of the only decent guys on the show so far.

Shitlid will be drooling over some of the other women at the dinner party, won't he? Ugh.

Sadly just indication of yet another one who's only in it for potential clout. I googled the shows she'd been on and had completely forgot about the beauty school one with scarlett moffat in!

I’d love to see a real life style mafs, just people picked from the general public rather than insta people

I've always wanted to see the same on Love Island. Normal people in their 30's and beyond. Not too much to ask, surely?

I get the impression Paul B is sick to the back teeth of seeing damaged, fame hungry people, but hey, it pays well. You'd think at this point in the game they actually might have some clout, but it doesn't seem like it.

I don't know how the ixperts can be paid to have their names put against this. Doesn't put them in any sort of a good light at all.

Gogglebox!!

I am looking forward to the dinner parties - he absolutely will 🤮

Totally. So i think we have 2 more weddings on Monday, then 4 honeymoons on Tuesday, then we're into the fun bit?

Missed Gogglebox as was out for DP's birthday, I assume they covered the madness? Will catch up if so..

They only covered KK.

Ah, so the relatively normal. Considering the others.

Yikes. Late to the party this time. Just caught up with eps 1-4 and, more importantly, all your comments.

If it's anything to go by all the previous series (both UK and Aus), those we like now - we'll hate in a few weeks and those we hate, well... we'll probably come to love them!!

Look forward to spending the next 10-weeks or so in your company 💍💒👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️

I think someone was previously asking about Kristina's checked jacket? The first episode was just being repeated and so I thought I'd see if a reverse image search would throw anything up. Looks like it was possibly from Primark

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I totally agree, Casper was put on the spot.

The friend with lots of opinions is is most unhelpful.

'She's been celibate for a really long time' apparently, 9 months is a really long time!

"... the thing that goes wrong every single time on these programmes is if the bride isn't slim. It seems as though anything else is acceptable except extra weight. I could never put myself through that - it would be too humiliating.
Oddly enough the women never seem to say that about the men."

I agree but I think the female equivalent to men liking slimmer women, is women liking taller men. Whether women are tall or short they seem to prefer tall men.

"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?"

Well, yes, but it can still be weird for some. I also know adults who don't like their dad to see them smoking!
