Yes @Oneandahalfonagoodday I think I read it was filmed Feb to March time?

I'm really perplexed by the Eve and Charlie situation and frankly I don't trust either of them. Eve more so.

I don't consider anything below to be spoilerish, I'd consider that to mean revealing something that will later be an essential plot point, or something yet to be screened. This post reveals nothing about people who are still in the episodes to be televised, but if you don't want to know anything from outside of the programme, then scroll past to the next post, or stop reading here.

Eve has had zero mention of MAFS on her Instagram, but there are pictures of her in a teeny sparkly bikini posing and competing as a body builder. Absolutely ripped, very confident. Couldn't be a more different image from how she's presenting now. I think that cropped headshot above is from one of them. It's possible that she has a bit of help, or did do, to achieve that kind of body. I don't know about steroids, but do people who use them become paranoid as well as angry? Would this potentially be a contributory factor to her emotional state?

I think Charlie did behave badly behind the scenes, from being way over the top at the wedding, keep saying there is an attraction and pushing it, when we're all thinking WHY? what on earth can you be seeing in someone who treats you like this and who can barely raise a smile in the film we've seen. There were red flags there. Charlie did say that not only has she kept apologising, which fair enough she may have been gaslit into, but also repeatedly said she took accountability for her own actions, whereas Eve would not. We'll never know what was behind all of that, so we can't judge, but it does leave unanswered questions.

A few times I saw quite a smug expression on Charlie's face as though she was relishing her role. She also talked a lot about her safe space and Eve violating that, whereas Eve's 'truth' was that she was by the door because she couldn't trust what Charlie was saying, completely disregarding the fact that just by trying to listen, she herself was breaking trust whether she heard anything or not.
The two of them together was a toxic combination from the beginning of the honeymoon and not good for anyone's well being.

On Charlie's Instagram, before last night's airing actually, she urges everyone to 'be kind' to all the 'cast members' and says what happened wasn't anyone's fault.

I'd argue that everyone was culpable, including the panel for encouraging them to 'work on the relationship' No one should have been in her situation. let alone for the sake of an entertainment show, but I'm slightly sceptical about the ins and outs of it all.

Is anyone else highly suspicious of Richelle? I just don't believe her due to how she was earlier on in the series.

murasaki · 03/10/2024 14:48

Yes, the volte face has been pretty speedy.

murasaki · 03/10/2024 14:49

In fact her praising things about Orson that she previously disliked, is a classic reverse ferret.

oreo2024 · 03/10/2024 17:01

In my eyes, Charlie redeemed herself in the last couple of episodes. She looked crazy during the honeymoon (but so did Richelle) but then was perfectly reasonable (if slightly emotional) in the later stages. Don't get me started on Eve! Could not stand her whiny victim voice and constant gaslighting.

dapsnotplimsolls · 03/10/2024 18:22

Richelle seems to be very unpredictable.

Just catching up on last night's episode. I feel so bad for Adam. He can't help not fancying Polly! He just said he doesn't look at her & want to kiss her. So why follow that up by asking 'do you want to shag her?!' I know he has done before but he clearly doesn't want to again!
He looks so uncomfortable & says he's not good with words or pressure. He genuinely doesn't know how to answer without causing hurt to Polly or getting outraged, shocked responses from the experts when he tries to answer honestly. They're being so unfair & unprofessional. This show has become ridiculous. I thought he was a twat initially that loved himself too much but he's not being a dick here. I feel bad for the guy.

I agree. If it was the other way round and it was the man desperate for sex with a woman who didn’t fancy him no way would they be asking her if she wanted a shag.

Jessiebessie · 03/10/2024 19:21

Ugh can't believe Adam wrote stay...feeling less sympathetic now

"I think they should change the format, and they have to convince a bunch of (more sensible) ixperts that they deserve to stay. If they can't, they're out!"

That is an excellent idea. Please pitch it to Channel 4.

Tittat50 · 03/10/2024 20:58

I agree ref Adam. Mel is absent awful this season. He is not attracted to her at all and clearly explained that so doesn't need the ridiculous ' do you want to shag her' nonsense! 😬

menopausalfart · 03/10/2024 20:59

Who's here for the newbies?

Bluetrews25 · 03/10/2024 21:00

Well, I'm here
Not sure how keen I am to see melted barbie dolls

menopausalfart · 03/10/2024 21:00

😂

Tittat50 · 03/10/2024 21:02

I've become very disillusioned. My initial excitement has waned. These newbies need to provide entertainment fodder!

wildlygreen · 03/10/2024 21:04

I actually really struggle to care about new couples after this far in because I find the wedding episodes really boring and then we don't know them as much etc. really didn't like the new couples last year.

dapsnotplimsolls · 03/10/2024 21:05

Jaysus, why is Kristina crying?

joolsella · 03/10/2024 21:05

Isnt it a bit early for meet the family?

Dillite2 · 03/10/2024 21:06

The more I watch Emma, the more I start to think that all she wants is validation that she is hot and sexy and fuckable. She doesn't actually care about the rest and I don't think she herself wants a relationship.

This is not going to go well for Nathan! Mamma Lacey looks proper terrifying

He doesn't surely need to buy both women flowers?

She’s so LOUD. And her voice is making want to rip off my ears.
