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

[murasaki]

Right, bring on the new batch.

It’s true though that their socials are supposed to give nothing away until after the series finishes, so no one should be able to get much from them. I know the guy who was paired with Ella last year (Nathaniel? Was that his name? And Luke with the goggly eyes) broke that rule but it was obvious they had.

I’ve got a sixpence minted the year I was born - yes, I’m old - that I lent to my stepdaughter on her wedding day. There are plenty for sale on eBay.

Oh I honestly didn't know not to post about socials. I'd seen comments on here talking about one brides instagram and just thought I could mention Facebook. Shall I ask for my post to be removed?

This. OMG when I saw her I thought - Biffa's Mutha and expected her to say, "Did you spill Moi Pint?"

I wouldn't bother! But best if we keep it to the shows when they are shown i reckon, others may have different opinions.

There's usually a spoiler thread going as well so if people want to discuss spoilers, they can start one.

@dapsnotplimsolls

Always end up doing this after much beef on the main thread so here we go ..

MAFS UK - Spoiler thread. All social media and Daily Fail spoilers allowed here. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/5170591-mafs-uk-spoiler-thread-all-social-media-and-daily-fail-spoilers-allowed-here

My feelings so far. Yet again, couples have been matched up with the experts knowing that they are unsuited. That’s mostly why we love it! Matching is based on best potential for drama and you get the same matches each year. Unattractive that thinks they are gods gift matched with insecure average looking, aloof matched with extremely needy, uptight with jokey clown etc.

Adam also needs to quit the sunbeds, they’ve made him look 20 years older than he is. Strange that someone so obsessed with looks doesn’t take care of the basics themselves in terms of diet and skin care. Also why are most of the men on these shows so heavily tattooed? It seems like they’ve replaced the need for a personality with shitty body art.

@Donke9 there will definitely be other brides that the Producers know are more likely to ' catch the eye ' of the likes of Adam. I'm looking forward to the dinner party. He's going to be a terror.

Is the woman with the kids likely to catch his eye?

Doubt it. I can’t see any of them meeting his exacting standards.

This thread is like the preparation and gossip with the girls before going out, more exciting then going out itself. I can't go over the ixperts comment about shitlid..."if he can go over the physical appearance" implying that polly is ugly. Rude and unnecessary, WTF!!!

"...there will definitely be other brides that the Producers know are more likely to ' catch the eye'

I cannot see any of the current batch matching up to hide exacting standards!

Stacy is pretty but he has a preference for brunettes. I wonder if Charlie will catch his eye but he won't catch her's!

Don't they usually have a couple of last minute entrants?

Don't think I saw that year, UK or Australia? That awful. Not Brad and Shona?

Brad definitely wasn't short and stocky

I don't remember that at all. The first one I watched was with Morag and co, (not what I ordered!)

Not sure that's uk - I read the Wikipedia on it and I recall all couples.

There was one on I think aus or could be usa who the chap was a bit druggie and they left post honeymoon? More drugs related than any sexual misconduct I think?

There was definitely a couple in Australia who left very quickly after the honeymoon and I’m sure it was because they found out the groom was a bit dodgy - the one @burnoutbabe is remembering. But I don’t remember the assault bit.

I'm going to look at Wiki for the Australian version now.

I know it happened because DH and I called him 'Land Rover Man' because he looks like one of our neighbours who has a 110.

I wonder if it has been wiped from history due to legalities or something?

Yes, I just read through the Wikipedia page too. Did I really start watching this in 2015?

Four couples still together out of 42. Not great odds for the hopefuls this year.

I really thought Caroline and Adam were going to make it with their rabbit.

OK - I've found them. Poppy and Luke MAFS Australia Season 7 (2020)

I though I was going mad for a minute there.

She claimed she wanted to leave because she missed her DC but it came out later that was not the reason

Ah, they never showed series 7 on E4. I wonder if that was why?

Didn't aus season 7 have a returned bride too? From season 6 who was cheated on?

Yes I have never seen that one either.
