MAFS. Thread 8. No spoilers. Shitlids, shitlips and shitstirring

[gonnabeteoubleemma]

Take it away!

I had a dream last night that Shitlid fixed my washing machine and gave me a bottle of wine 😭 this show is ruining me

Said by the guy who at the stag do openly admitted that he would go after one of the other brides if he didn't like the one he was matched with

Just caught up. Not that it was worth it, I honestly can’t tell you a single thing that happened other than Alex developing a Caribbean accent. What a numpty. Where were Ross, Lacey and Nathan?

.... "Said by the guy who at the stag do openly admitted that he would go after one of the other brides if he didn't like the one he was matched with"

Yes, I forgot that!

Plus who are these boys! They are men, I thought!

"Just caught up. Not that it was worth it, I honestly can’t tell you a single thing that happened other than Alex developing a Caribbean accent" Yes, I noticed that! I kind of do that too with a Welsh Accent. Watching Nightsleeper I found myself talking like Abigail Aysgarth!! (Alexandra Roach).

Just caught up.
Holy crap what a bin fire that was.

Well, I was today years old when I realised what "Wagwan" meant!

Thanks to Alex and his fake accent as he couldn't say the word properly and streeeeetched out the waaaan bit😂

So it means "what's going on" / "give me the info"

So much for MAFS being trash TV, it has taught this old bird something new

Edit - I realised I didnt have a clue what accent he was aiming for

Is this the first MAFS ever when we are actively wanting 2 participants to 'cheat'?!

I really do see where Richelle is coming from now. Orson is slippery as fuck. They've had a convo about whether to leave or not, mutually and he's said he wants to stay. He has then said he has checked out. He was refusing or unable to grasp Richelle's point when she was asking why he didn't just be clear on how unhappy he was. I knew she had chopsy delivery but wasn't imagining things. Now he's off with the next lass who's shown him any interest.

yes, I suspect there may have already been a sneaky snog with Hannah

We really can dislike both people in a couple. Richelle is a nightmare, Orson is, I suspect, not ideal as a partner but we haven't seen much of it. Holly would be very hard work and definitely end up in a pub fight, Alex is just beyond awful and should just wear a Red Flag and be done. Stephen is absolutely dreadful - I find him hard to watch, Hannah (IMO) not that bad but probably someone I'd find it difficult to be friends with, Emma I quite like but might not want to share an office with, Caspar is OK but genuinely needs a lot of therapy. Polly is a natural bully, Adam is a bit of a knob Etc. Etc.

The format sort of encourages us to side with one or the other and it doesn't always work when you end up making one of them better than they are to justify it!

Oh aye, so many pairs of shitsters but I am Team Richelle and Team Caspar for this this programme.

None of them the worst of the bunch just flawed people.

Orson and Emma both seem evasive in different ways. I can see why they are both maddening to be around for a straight up if imperfect person.

I used to have some sympathy for Polly but now never seen her personality I think she’s nasty and confrontational. Neither of these are exactly good qualities in a partner.

I really think Adam is staying with her to play a game and get a few shags out of her. He also can get more insta followers the longer he stays in. More tv time the longer he stays.

Polly definitely was the school bully and as I said previously, I’m sure she’s probably flushed a few girls heads down the toilet.

And Steven ( or Stephen ?) is playing the victim, I really think he’s been nasty to Hannah over a comment that she didn’t follow through with. And he’s joined forces with the mean girls.

I hope Adam and Alex , although I don’t like either of them both dump both those two witches.

I've said already that my own reading of Hannah's comment on talking about his stuff on camera was only her way of asking how he'd like it if she did what he'd just done himself. And without seeing most of the things she's been accused of second hand, I can well imagine they could be skewed to sound worse than she meant them. (Or not, but I'm not inclined to take Holly and Polly at their words.) Bullies are good at twisting things, and Stephen and the Ollies all work like that.

Yes, the reason Hannah mentioned disclosing whatever it was was that he had mentioned something that was supposed to stay confidential. She didn't 'start it' and he actually followed through

I suspect Orson is a shifty type so I can understand Richelle's frustration to some extent but there's no need for the viciousness.

Polly is always in the thick of all the gossip and backstabbing. She learned nothing from backing the wrong horse (Eve) last time.
She needs to cock off before she does any more damage.

I feel very sorry for Casper. He seemed quite angry a few episodes ago and confronted the 'experts'. I can't remember his exact words, but it was along the lines of 'this is my life you're fucking with'.

The latest commitment ceremony showed him looking just defeated and depressed. I wish they'd just release him back to his natural habitat.

Maybe we can use her as a bellwether. Whichever side she takes will be the wrong one. She could save us all a lot of time when it comes to figuring out who's the biggest arsehole in a relationship. If Holly's got their back, that's the one.

She said it was all about how Hannah entered the dinner party which means she took against her before she knew anything about her and now we know she's idiot enough to say she'd swap Shitlids for 4kids, so it might be fair to say that she dislikes Hannah for no other reason than she, Holly, wants a go on 4kids. She is so unlikeable.

I honestly couldn't care less if they all swapped with each other at this point

Maybe shit lid and 4kids will console each other over the cards they've been dealt here.

It really is bottom of the barrel this season

Maybe we can use her as a bellwether.
I thought this said bedwetter at first

@MouseMinge you're mixing your Holly with your Polly

I agree ref Caspar. The ixperts are in effect gaslighting him out of his reality; that he just doesn't want to copulate with the double of his sister and isn't attracted to her figure. He can't help that. Yet, it's all made to be his problem.

Forcing Emma to don a pair of milk bottle spectacles is not going to change anything. It's pretty cruel. She is very attractive as the show progresses and especially when she's being a bit more real and less jolly hockey sticks.

Richelle is a nightmare but is it possible she just has a good sense for inauthentic bullshit. Seeing Orson's side eye in the tub and his eagerness with Hannah, I wondered if she just sussed him out very quickly. The editing is diabolical so it's hard to know what's going on.

Anyway, they will all need therapy after this.

How much editing is being done to make them all look so bad?

Hannah seems like such a spoiled brat but I wonder how much of that is editing?

This season is crap, barrel scraping.
