You know, as someone who doesn't have English as my native language I find it unbelievably patronising when posters put Gaston's sex-pester language down to his foreigners. He has a responsible job where language is extremely important. He isn't picking lettuce where you can get by knowing and understanding very little. Yes, there will be some cultural aspects as to what is considered romantic or sexy, appropriate, etc. However, it's not the language, he knows exactly what he is saying and is choosing to say it.

Did Ross move to Walsall? If so, shite for his daughter.

I was thinking about Gaston today and wondering if he has become institutionalised at work and absorbed what he hears around him. Being a non native English speaker he doesn't appreciate how inappropriate and crude some of his words are and that while the truth is good, so is privacy around what happens consensually in the bedroom.

If however he is a pest who refuses to learn, no sympathy.
Cannot wait for the Shawl of Sanctimony to Speak tonight.

i think there could well be some truth to this. His language is very crude but he seems such a sweet guy. There is bound to be some misinterpretation for him. He thinks it’s banter and romantic and we all cringe!

FagsMagsandBags · 14/11/2024 19:15

I was in two minds about watching live tonight - I didn't last night - but there's stuff you miss if you're an idiot and watch the afternoon version of the show so I missed out on the terrorised bumhole, more cunty language and I'm really not sure what the last comment Holluh made to Hannah as Hannah was walking away was.

My take, because noboby gives a shit (I'm amazed that I do to be honest). I didn't watch last night because I wasn't in the mood for Holluh and thought I'd deal with it better, or not at all, by watching it (or not) this afternoon.

Gaston and Amy. I don't think she's a prude and it's clear that there was a lot of sex going on between them because they had nothing in common but fancied each other. Not wanting all of the sex talk in public is perfectly normal as is not wanting to be pawed in front of the cameras. I genuinely don't think that Gaston is that thick and he just refused to stop doing something that he knew was annoying/embarrassing her. I see no reason to suspect that she was lying about what he wrote in the letter and that sort of shit when you've made it clear that a relationship is over borders on stalky town. Amy may be an arsehole but I appreciate that she's always had Hannah's back and her being an arsehole and unnecessarily nasty at the final vows - although where would the final vows be without some orchestrated by the producers/writers drama - does not make Gaston the poor little hard done by boy. He never respected her boundaries which is shitty behaviour.

Kieran. Fuck off. Fuck off. And while you're at it. Fuck off again. I don't think he was every properly into Kristina and I'm annoyed that I fell for his nice guy bullshit. Kristina deserves better and I hope she finds it.

Kristina. Go Queen!

Emma and Caspar. It's nice to see actual grown ups in the room. He needs to let his hair grow a bit. She is the best woman in the show. Funny, self-deprecating, caring and at times very wise. I think she'll make someone very happy one day. I think Caspar will be a bit like the character Tom played by James Fleet in Four Weddings and a Funeral. He's the very, very posh one whose home is a stately house and ends up marrying a woman who likes dogs as much as he does.

Ryan and Shannon. Who really gives a shit.

4Kids. It was lovely that we got so little of him.

Nafe. Love you dude, you're the best of the blokes with someone else a close second for me ... ooh the suspenders!

Lacey. You don't deserve Nafe and you're one of the quieter girls who used to back up the bullies or try to wind the situation up. You could be lovely but to be fair it's amazing she's as nearly nice as she is given her mother.

Charlie. I'd have loved more Charlie. Charlie had what it took to be a fun character to have around although I wasn't too keen on her listening to Polpot and Holluh and the others about Hannah before she met her, but fair play. People do it far more often than they should. I used to. I don't anymore.

Ross and Scorcha. Don't buy them. At. All. Her hair. Wow. I mean I'd love to think it was a joke that she was playing rather than just being a joke but there you go.

Shitlids. Definitely pushed and prodded. Definitely shouldn't have had wine thrown at him. But. Some of what she said was true. He was both honest. "I don't fancy you. I don't know if we have a future." and dishonest. Having sex with her for at least three weeks into the ixperiment and after CCs. Prevaricating. Was this because she kept pushing? Probably. But as someone told me she can't be excused because she's not a child, neither is he. He could have walked away at any point in the ixperiment and didn't because like them all he wanted a bit of fame/infamy. Fuck around and find out. He'll come out of this with most people on his side but that doesn't make him a decent person. He isn't.

Polpot. I tried to be understanding of her issues yesterday because I did see some of younger me there - not as bad, dear god, not quite as bad as that - but she's her own worst enemy. Her behaviour was embarrassing. Forget the f-ing and Jeffing and throwing wine, her desperation to be liked by a man who has no respect for her made me cringe for her. I genuinely hope she's getting help with her inability to control her emotions and the only reason left that makes me think she's worth an iota of empathy is that her friend Alfie seems like the most decent of chaps and surely there are redeeming qualities if he still hangs around with her!

Orson. My second favourite bloke who came to life once his time on the show was over and we only got him back for a couple of episodes. He's funny, decent, seems nice to be around, throwing no shade and I LOVE that he chose Emma as the bride he'd have liked. The looks on some of the women's faces (poor Ollies) were wonderful. I loved that Hannah was genuinely smiling. She totally gets the game.

Hannah. I love her. She played a blinder. She only has to exist to make Holluh look like the piece of shit she is. The ixperts should bring up the bullying tonight because she has been so maligned for nothin other than being more of a naturally attractive woman than any of the bullies. Fair play to her and Ryan walking in together. Nice for her to have someone have her back as she entered a room, as she said it was the first time. She's right about Holluh's child.

Did I miss someone out?

FagsMagsandBags · 14/11/2024 19:23

Sorry, that was mad long! I know who I missed out of course.

Holluh. Without a doubt the person on the show - who kept coming back - with not one tiny redeeming feature. It may well be that Alex and Eve could give her a run for her money but luckily we never had to see them once they left. She clearly thinks she's the main character this year, is as thick as mince and twice as nasty. On a personal appearance attack which is totally unnecessary, she looked like a 1970's toilet roll holder doll thing. Like a pig in a rancid tutu. She's the reason I wasn't sure if I could watch last night because as awful as Polpot is I can stand her in a way that I just cannot with Hullah.

But! This time next year we won't remember most of them. Someone will say "Remember Holly?" and we'll be "Which one was she? Was she in the last series?" Well, maybe not her immediately but after tonight we'll probably ne'er think about her or any of them again. I think the best thing about MAFSUK is the incredibly short shelf life most of them have. The only one I can see possibly turning up elsewhere is Nafe because he's so easy on the eye and seems like a decent sort. Maybe Gaston but more likely on Only Fans soft porn than actual telly.

👏👏Bravo FM&Bs!👏👏

Was it me or had all the wine that Polly threw evaporated and disappeared after the second ad break? Or had he got changed?

I disagree. I think he’s just inappropriate and he knows he’s inappropriate but he keeps on at it. He then plays the victim whenever called out. She dumped him very brutally at the closing ceremony yet he still included a revolting reference to anal activity in his letter! If you strip it back it actually very strange and alarming adult behaviour, not sweet at all. If we read that on a post on here (which to be honest isn’t too unrealistic!) we would all be up in arms. I hope he gets his (not Amy’s) arse handed to him tonight.

dapsnotplimsolls · 14/11/2024 19:41

I think he's been angling for some kind of work as a result of this programme. God knows what. OF? Adult panto? More bare-arsed butlering?

Maybe only fans for horny housewives? He did seem to get turned on by being in the kitchen.

TinselAngel · 14/11/2024 20:08

Given Gaston appears to be into bum hole terrorising I withdraw my previous statement that I would.

Thank you. It took me a minute to figure out who FM&Bs was! I is an halfwit.

I think the wine/stained/not stained thing was all in the edit so the wine probably happened later than we thought or something. It was all a bit mental.

Agreed my Husband is non native speaker and he doesn't speak this way or think it is appropriate behaviour.
Gaston is that way himself he chooses to speak that way no blame on his culture.

I don't think he is the only one to blame at all. Amy deffo leading a double life. It's always the quiet ones.

napody · 14/11/2024 20:34

@fagsmagsandbags 👏👏
I agreed with virtually every word... although I do find Orson annoying and a little fake... possibly unfairly. And certainly not enough to warrant Richelles brutal treatment!
Emma my fave as a person, Hannah as a MAFS performance!

napody · 14/11/2024 20:37

I too find Holluh repulsive and almost unwatchable... and this week I've finally realised who she reminds me of! It's the mouth...

I'm mostly looking forward to the outfits tonight (apart from how Gaston will respond to the bum-hole comment). Loose baps, twee tuxedos, bits missing, safari outfits ...
