MAFS THREAD 10 where you will respect the forum and sit down. Take off your Anorak of Sulk and get your hands out their Uggs. For we shall wear our polo-necks of misery and janitor pyjamas of poetry.

The rest of the thread title

"For it's not easy to not get lipsed on the down low without someone getting lippy. Casper is still dying of cringe and Shitlid sees no way out. For we are all scrambling for our dignity, whilst watching the utter mockery"

It was a joint effort by us all.

That happens every single time. Remember that abusive arse hole last year on the Australian Mafs? No men ever called him out

This is my first experience of any mafs in many years. So I don’t remember any others. But I guess he is belittling the girls and they are having to come together and stand up for themselves . While the men just keep their heads down and try to stay out of it. I guess if it was a real marriage they were actually invested in they may take more notice (you would hope) . But as it’s just a pretend marriage to a pretend wife for a few weeks, they just aren’t willing to stick their head above the parapet.

Either they agree with Alex or they "don't want the drama".

The drama is already there. Step up. Tell him it's out of order.

Agree. The work needs more men who will do that. Some of the other “tough” guys there are ideally places to do that

There was a bit of a slip up when Polly said to Shitlid you don't give me a hug when you're going home so I think they all get breaks from filming that we aren't supposed to know about.

I noticed this too. Then made the assumption that as they are all paid actors, they probably need to follow the work time directive and rest breaks.

I'm sure some of them think they're on I'm a celeb, the amount of times I've heard 'get me out of here' 🙄

Grrr it’s so low budget now isn’t it
just sitting around in those apartments.
they don’t even do the home stay like they used to! And see each others houses and stuff, they just have relatives come and visit them.

They wish!

Have any ex-Maffers actually managed to forge a career as a result of being on the show?

I really think they were hoping a Bridget Jones, Darcy situation with Emma and Casper - perhaps they need to add a Hugh grant character?

It hasn't been the same since that guy took his wife to a park bench in Leyton😆

@chaosmaker Yes! Holly is very reminiscent of Lauren Harries

I'm really impressed with Sasha. She communicates really well and is giving Ross an opportunity to step up. I'd like more young ladies to be like this. She sees exactly what Alex is doing and is calling him out. Alex's views of women and the way he text Ross like that, is scary. I know men like this. I'm no proponent of violence but I wish someone would take a pan to Alex's slaphead.

I really like Kristina. I'm imagining behind the scenes the PMDD is a head spinner for Kieran. There was only so long that ridiculous herpes simplex excuse was going to be viable.

Gaston seems pretty decent and he is good looking but when he opens his mouth now I just want to put a sock in it. I'd keep him if I was allowed to gag him. The Ghost pottery scene was a hard watch.

Polpot is just a beast of a human. I have more and more time for Shitlid, more so as he called out her shitty behaviour.

There's no way Nafe could ever relocate and be under the ever present watch of mama slap head. I was really surprised that Lacey would feel that way. She comes across as a pretty decent person but obviously can't see the dysfunction of her family dynamic care of mama bear.

@mewkins Kwame 😂

I don't want to live on the same planet as Lacey's mum, let alone within visiting distance.

I hope that bench has a blue plaque on it!

It feels like it's bordering on sexual harassment care of the ixperts. I like Emma as the show has progressed. But they are forever encouraging her to go on about the intimacy that he clearly doesn't want.
We'd be horrified if it was the other way around.

I do agree with this. ^

Omg Kieran and his dog, so cute. I've always got the vibes from K&K that they are more just really good mates. He almost seems like a caring big brother to her, not a lover.

Holly needs to get away from Alex.

Well Casper let slip there didn't he ! All just practicing for his 'next relationship'

That was a brilliant moment in Mafs history 😁

but I think it's her armour tbh, literally a persona she assumes to protect herself, so it's almost like the more he keeps his distance I think this is definitely true. I do the same to some extent. It's a defence mechanism.

Re Ross, I have a deaf relative and she really struggles in group settings. Especially if everyone is shouting.

You are generous re Gaston and a sock in his gob @Tittat50 .
I was thinking a wedge of clay would do the job.

@Villagetoraiseachild 🤣.

It's a shame the pottery wheel didn't go into nuts hyperdrive and launch that clay phallus down his throat like a cork. 🤷‍♀️

It's sad that K&K aren't working out. It does remind me of why I broke up with my son's father. We were great most of the time and only had little disagreements but once we had a big blow up and he was sooooo nasty and showed a violent side. He instantly became ugly to me and my vagina clammed up and I ended it on the spot. I just knew I couldn't be with this person anymore with him talking to me like that.

Maybe Kristina was really different during her PMDD and with the history of his previous partner being mean he just realised he couldn't handle that behaviour every month

The thing that annoys me about Gaston is that he sees time and time again that Amy finds his over-the-top stuff embarrassing and yet continues doing it saying he can't help it. I'm pretty sure he could help taking his top off at the pottery place and sitting behind her with his cock against her back and talking about his blood boiling. It's all too much and doesn't come across as authentic at all.

He gave her the ick on their wedding day and I don't think it's really gone away. Yes, they've made lurve <vomit> but maybe she puts in ear plugs when he's not looking and that's how she manages because it's a nice enough face to have bearing down on you.

I also agree with this

We have more staged drama coming, don't we?
