I just want to be married by a vicar who I can greet with kia ora.

Thats my biggest takeaway so far.

Waterboatlass · 21/11/2024 09:33

Deece was busy then!! I read Dom and Ella had a big falling out and their podcast went kaputski leading to Olivia being somewhat vindicated after partly bad behaviour and partly an awful edit. I think it went quite extreme and ruined her career leading to Only Fans and she's been speaking about that.

I've cracked and am 3 episodes in, I think. It seems a lot more normal so far. A reference to not throwing wine. Odd matches though, none of them I would have picked and I can see some quite intuitive matches. I wonder if north/south island logistics and kids have thrown matches off?

The small groups make it a bit claustrophobic and there isn't the same level of pretending to be instant best friends. It's quite refreshing seeing (most) of them being normally polite and a bit reserved with new people rather than over the top!

Id have gone curtains and redhead, easy peasy. No idea why they've put him with Kara. Any of the others would have been a better match for her. Brit Teacher, Nathaniel or personal favourite, Piripi (apparently means tipsy in Spanish which is apt if he's a brewer). Kara is gorgeous (they all are) but seems quite a nice, down to earth lass.

Why not put Curtains with Reiki Polly? (Speak before thinking tendencies detected, not just the red hair).

Brit Teacher (Mr McLusky?) and the slightly shy lass who was put with Brewer. I could see that match flagging immediately.

I've only got as far as the clips for the next episode but Reiki Polly and Nathaniel? Why?? The age gap is fine but they seem a generation apart. He seems a very young 30 and she seems a 37 who's already lived a lot

Id have said Nafe and the young influencer lassie. Maybe he's stipulated no kids. As PP says, if Mr McLusky wants to move back to Brum that'll make things potentially tricky.

Waterboatlass · 21/11/2024 09:34

Counterintuitive*

Waterboatlass · 21/11/2024 09:36

Loved Kara's dad!!!

MargoLivebetter · 21/11/2024 09:40

@BoreOfWhabylon your holiday romance is better than MAFS NZ so far!

Yeah I don't get redhead (Polly) and Nathanial either. As you say, an age gap of 7 years isn't a lot - her 37 and him 30, but looking at them together they look like mother and son. As you say, he seems (and looks) much younger - like 21-23, and she presents as a lot older than him, and (IMO) looks a bit older than she is.. She looks more like 40-42. They are very mismatched.

And yeah face curtains doesn't suit tall blonde. She clearly isn't into him, and yeah he would have suited Reiki lass (Polly/redhead!)

Reiki Red should have been paired with Weirdy Beardy!

Yep, I said that at the beginning.

thenightsky · 21/11/2024 10:24

I wouldn't put any of the women with beard curtain. I reckon all of them would be icked by the next day.

Doubleraspberry · 21/11/2024 10:42

Here's the Ridge/Deece stuff for anyone interested.

MAFS: Timothy claims Ridge cheated on Jade at a club after filming

MargoLivebetter · 21/11/2024 11:21

I think Reiki Red would resonate (get me with the lingo) more with Beard with their spiritual stuff but I'm not sure that Beard would find Reiki Red physically attractive. I could be off the mark, but that would be my instinct. For all that he bangs on about inner connections and going deep, I suspect that he is very motivated by how women look and think he probably has a preference for slim blondes.

NZ looks amazing. Was this made in conjunction with the tourist board?

Don't think so, NZ has existed for ages!

Doubleraspberry · 21/11/2024 14:56

It’s clearly made with the Vanuatu tourist board though!

I loved Tim but was gutted for his wife as she seemed to be trying so hard and there was just nothing there.

I agree, no way will he fancy her.

Villagetoraiseachild · 21/11/2024 18:06

Wow@BoreOfWhabylon, thanks for sharing that, sounds gorgeous all round.
I agree with pp about Curtain, he's quite invested in image and probably has quite a specific look in mind. I do think Reiki Red is lovely tho. These women are so refreshing.

dapsnotplimsolls · 21/11/2024 20:02

Mild drama awaits.

dapsnotplimsolls · 21/11/2024 20:04

Has everyone else bailed?

Villagetoraiseachild · 21/11/2024 20:06

Noooo, am here. Freaking at the height!

dapsnotplimsolls · 21/11/2024 20:07

Don't think I could do that.

hoxtonbabe · 21/11/2024 20:09

Peepee is very immature

Villagetoraiseachild · 21/11/2024 20:10

Dont think i could trust the rope.
Got trust issues!

dapsnotplimsolls · 21/11/2024 20:11

Shades of Gaston - she tells him she doesn't like it. He does it again. Arse.

Appalonia · 21/11/2024 20:12

He's a bit of a wally isn't he? Poor girl.

stonkytonk11 · 21/11/2024 20:12

Hmm, it's a bit boring isn't it? That guy is really immature...peeing in the bushes at his wedding now he belly flops into the lake...don't think she's very impressed
