Exactly this. It’s such a shame after how well they started off. He’s so scared of getting hurt that he’s gone into full-on Chandler from Friends mode and started sabotaging the relationship rather than work past the fear of commitment. I think that ex comparison task has probably finished them off tbh as he does seem to have drawn the conclusion that just because Kristina resembles his ex on paper that must mean she’s going to do the dirty on him. It's really unfair on her and I can tell she's getting sick of his behaviour, I'm wondering if she ends up ditching him tbh.

Totally off the point, but what is a division?

I'm finding him more likeable lately as he is making an effort. Got to say I felt sorry for him last night. I got why the lingerie touched a nerve for Polly, but his gesture showed he’d been listening to her re wanting more sex and it’s a pity Polly couldn’t see past her insecurities over Amy to acknowledge that.

Love this! 😄

I was thinking about undiegate and Pol Pot's reaction is so weird. It's MAFS so Shitlid and Barbie didn't choose to go undie shopping, they would have been told to do it by the the producers. Pol Pot must know that, so why has she gone all weird about it?

I was also heavily distracted by the split jeans. All I could think of was how ridiculous they'd look if it was a bit windy. Great sails of jeans flapping behind you and probably bunching up between your thighs. A stylish look indeed!

What stood out for me last night was that Amy was quite happy to reel off a list of things she wanted done for her so she could feel like a 'princess' but there didn't seem to be any sense of what she could do for her partner in return to make him feel special. I'm a sucker for romantic gestures personally and the rose-petal thing would bowl me over if DH did it (even though I'm in my 50s 😄) but making a partner feel special should work both ways.

Surely rose petals stain the flooring.

i just wanted to sweep them up.
romantic, moi.

I keep wondering how Polly reacts when she finds out Amy and Shitlid shared the bed. Anyone know if there's an emoji for a nuclear explosion?!

looked like they were those fabric pretend ones...

On another not Sacha when she wore the headband with the bow on reminded me of the doll in the Argos advert.....

@Surelyitscoffeetime I guess it's a little bit like a housing estate in the uk. Strictly speaking I think it used to be called a subdivision, I think, where the "city" (really wasn't a city that we would understand!) is divided up into subdivisions.

I haven't been on any of the threads for a while but also starting to think Adam's actually a lot nicer than he originally appeared. I don't even call him shitlid anymore although still find his haircut pretty shit.

Do they get paid to be on it?

@TriangleLight

Here's a quote from Arthur

‘They give you whatever you would have been paid at work, you have to prove what you earn so can’t say you make £10,000 a week,’ he told The Sun.
‘I think they have a maximum is probably around £1,200 to £1,300 a week. It's a good deal.’
Arthur added, ‘You’re not working, getting everything paid for and staying in a beautiful apartment.’

DH said exactly that. That doll creeps him out every time.

Not an emoji, but I have this gif.

From twitter:

She's going to go postal.

To be fair, i wouldn't have done, but mostly because they've only known each other a short time and it's nominally a marriage which both sides know is in trouble. I'm perfectly happy bunking up with long term mates if needed, but there was a sofa, and everyone else managed it fine.

I suspect the producers told them they had to share. And probably that everyone else was too.

Gaston looked like he was suppressing a volcanic sized fart when he heard they shared a bed, his bed I think, the one in which the parking manoeuvres happen.
This is going to explode later.

Passive aggressive bed sharing methinks, though it did look very innocent, but not considerate to the partners. And they've all surely watched previous eps so must know that no one else has done it, I think, in Mafs history.

Crikey. Lighten up.

It's hard to watch. Kristina seems lovely and Kieran is clutching at straws for any reason to ditch her. If I was her I would walk. There is no point trying to persuade him and he has too many issues which he hasn't yet dealt with.

Thanks, @kenyaswhiterefrigerator !

That is a good incentive to stay

Of course, it's lovely to get both, the icing on the cake as well as the fundamental stuff. It just seems like the women on MAFS seem to put too much stock in the former rather than the latter and the amount of excitement over a bloke tossing them a supposedly romantic crumb when in most other ways he's a dickhead or an otherwise decent bloke getting lambasted for not being romantic enough just has me rolling my eyes a bit. And as another poster has pointed out, where's the romance from the women? It all plays into the narrative that men need to be knights in shining armour and women princesses.

That title. GOOD VOIBES ONLAY! 😂
