MAFs U.K. 3 - The First Dinner Party. Expecting thanking, rankings and tankings

[AndThereSheGoes]

New thread. Sorry couldn't see one.

It’s happened in the past, and in other countries though. Morag for example?

The original usa couple. Jamie and Doug?
She did not fancy him at all.

And they are now 4 kids later.

Now Doug was a very nice chap and actually okay looking. A 6/7. Tall. The sort of man most women would be okay to date. So that helped.

Kieren looked quite attractive/pleasant looking at dinner party-his hair seemed normal/different from the wedding look.

@burnoutbabe I loved Jamie and Doug, that was the only USA season I watched.

Yes! I remember them..did they not do some sort of spin off programmes/series?

Been reflecting on Polly and Adam.

Adam doesn't find her physically attractive but Polly still draps herself over him and encroaches on his physical space.

If that was the other way round ie encroaching on a females space by a man that she clearly finds unattractive then there would be uproar.

@woodlandtrees I was getting annoyed that she was doing that.

@wildlygreen

Ditto !

I agree that if someone's not your type they're not your type. But then why go on MAFS if you're not willing to give it go with someone who is not your type? Surely they've seen the show before! In Shitlid's case, it's probably because he fancied a bit of reality TV stardom which also explains why he's choosing to stay and continue with someone he's claiming to not want a long term relationship with.

Caspar is a shell of the him in the intros.

🤣😂🤣

I don't feel sorry for him at all or anyone else who behaves like an entitlement prick because he doesn't get what he wants. There are ways of saying things without being hurtful and to write someone off before you've given them a chance is dickish behaviour. Mind you, there's reason all these people are single 😉

I don't know of anyone has said it but Jamie and Doug from MAFSA have 4 kids now, just had identical twin boys. She howled on the wedding day as she didn't find him attractive!

But Casper and Adam, who someone their wives attractive, are acting like their wives are punching!

Sorry but Casper and Adam are not Brad Pitt!

I couldn’t believe it when Adam
said don’t get to excited when he went to kiss Polly !

Adam and Casper who said they don’t find their wives attractive I meant!

I’d really like to see their exes!

I always think of Doug and Jamie, and her on the floor crying. He almost glowed up before our eyes, just by being consistent, kind and patient with her everyday. But I think she was very open to the process, and very upfront about her own emotional demons that would often put a block in their way.

I could be wrong but I think Jamie and Doug each offered something good to each other, and although there was no initial spark between them, love grew.

I thin the USA version does take things much more seriously and so do those who enter the show.

If they have execs that is ..

I noticed that. It is weird. And shows very little self respect. And a lot of entitlement.

I agree with you. I think the producers are incredibly abusive to set the women up like that. For me this should be causing an outrage (similar to the Jeremy Kyle show scandal).

The producers fucked it up.

The experts and contestants are at their mercy. I feel really sorry for the experts because they are fighting a losing battle trying to deal with the crap the producers have created in an authentic and professional way. And failing miserably, but no-one could succeed when you've got producers who want to appeal to those who love trashy TV (I have to admit I sometimes love to watch all the drama, but i have a feeling it is soon going to wear thin even for me).

Speak to their hands - if you want to see their exes.

Interesting.

I'm late to the party (as always) just watched episode 3 when Ross and Sasha got married. (I think that's the right couple)
Why does she keep going on about being celibate, and how important tradition is to her. And then mention that the longest she's been celibate is 2 years, because if she's single she's celibate. That's not even remotely unusual. I don't have sex outside of relationships. (Nothing wrong if you do, but it's not for me). I wouldn't say I'm celibate, as to me that implies never having sex.

She got corrected by the experts at the first commitment thing. I think it's just a bit of The Princess Bride 'inconceivable' of "You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means." She means abstinent but I guess celibate sounds more impressive. Or something.
