MAFSAUS THREAD 6- come gather around my plate of meat, fishy babies, gaslighting, Tony Time and double dipping.

[Dillite2]

I can't think of a decent title

I think I missed that! 😱 🐟

This is why I record it (And Big Brother) and watch it the next day - or start watching it 20-30 minutes in.

I can't put into words how much the constant, lengthy ad breaks stress me out. Sounds dramtatic, but they ruin a show for me. I find the ad breaks mind numbing, tedious, and irritating. I never used to, it's the length of them these days, and the frequency. Some shows (that have an hour long slot,) have 6 minutes of the show, then a 7 minute ad break, then 8 minutes of show, then a 6 minute ad break and so on. Like a full one third of a one hour show is adverts. (Sometimes more!) It's bonkers!

Thankfully, with the advent of ad breaks, we got TV recorder boxes. There's such a lot I couldn't/wouldn't watch if I didn't have the ability to record it and watch it later minus the ad breaks. Love Island, MAFS, Britain's Got Talent, Big Brother etc. And I would even struggle with Classic Corrie, and the Channel 4 and Channel 5 films and documentaries.

Fortunately, I have recently signed up to ITVX premium, so am able to watch ITV stuff with no ad breaks now. With other channels with ads (which is most channels!) I have to record the shows and watch them later - or as I said, start watching it 20-30 minutes in. (And I skim through the ad breaks...)

I'm going to watch CBB live tonight as it's the first one but I'll probably watch the others the next day too.

Oh God these bloody recaps!

Jamie is really getting into being a 'fish mum'!

Oh, here is Lauren and her Boganic boganisms.

Ryan and Jacqui need to be sent to the Tasmanian bush, naked. covered in honey.

I’ve seen loads this weekend now the reunion is out 🙄

Recapping the recaps now....

How many more episodes are left now? Does anyone know?

Bugger, missed the start because I realised there was a CBB thread 😁

Too many and yet at the same time, not enough.

The ixperts will be all stern but I bet they won't kick him out. I bet Carina was 'encouraged' off-camera to forgive him.

This is episode 21.

According to the t’internet there’s 40 episodes

So we’re only half way through with about 5 weeks left

Surely A and A will both put leave? Please?

I’m quite surprised at the response from the men. I thought they’d be more forgiving and understanding. Carina seems more accepting than them which is unusual.

What is that thing Ahwina is using on her face?

Awhina. You are quickly starting to lose all our sympathy here!

Only halfway through! I don't think enough couples are going to last to have enough material for 5 more weeks!

Probably not.

Their entire relationship is based on sexual chemistry and nothing else, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they stayed longer

Oh wow, is there really that many still left? So like 4-5 more weeks worth?

When I looked at how many episodes there were (when it was starting,) I swear I read that there was 20 in total.

The ixperts really need to show leadership here and ask the hard questions.
Like what actions is Paul willing to take in orde never to repeat his offence.
The big apologies and weeping are all very well but they can just be part of a cycle.

Oh no I'm going to Thailand for 6 weeks in 2 weeks time, I'll miss the ending! Wonder if I can watch it out there...?

@rainbowruthie@SabreIsMyFaveYou can watch MAFS live at 7.30 with minimal ads if you have the All4 app. Ignore the ‘Watch live or restart’ option and scroll down the episodes, the one that’s on now is added to the list as soon as it starts and has minimal ads. The running time on live TV is 1 hour 35 tonight, the running time that I’m watching is 1 hour 10.

Have to be careful not to drop spoilers on the thread though as you end up watching 20 minutes ahead of others.

I think I will lose respect for Awhina if she doesn't write leave again and actually go. She must know this is dead in the water and Adrian is a drongo.

Ooh, Morena is gonzo
