The way the show works, with the producers pulling strings, the edits and copious amounts of alcohol, creates scenes such as Jamie losing her shit, . None of it is real. It’s done to entertain us. It’s a bit sick really, yet I still watch it.

Agree. One of my friends calls it Crack tv!
But I always learn something.
And this thread is gold.

I can see we are teetering or reeling towards the next thread soon.
Can I request that We are Not Leaving the Zoo is in the next title, pls @Dillite2 or @browneyes77 ?
Thanking you muchly.

Hmmmmm.

Dave very uncomfortable and the edit and music was certainly designed to emphasize this.

It feels like he has come on the show with an open heart, done all the things asked of him, thrown himself into the experiment, had his wife's back from day one, come out of his comfort zone to defend her and not really put a foot wrong frankly... but now has suddenly realised that the bickering and drama (rather than the fancy apartment and tropical honeymoon) is the reality of his future life with Jamie. I think the combination of Laurengate and the L Bomb coming in the same week has expedited his panic.

I hope they can come back from it.

I fucking hate Veronica. She is really twisty and unkind. Knobby as Eliot was with Lauren - who knows what fucking shit she was pulling that didn't make the edit. He now seems like he is really trying and Veronica is being a complete bitch and deliberately playing with his head. Nasty.

Odds on that now the L word has been mentioned (Rhi and Jeff 'getting there' and Jamie 'all in') Jacqui is going to need Ryan to fall in love with her this week. He is going to have to fall head over heels and tell her at least 100 times a day (maybe whilst they are doing their 100 x dance dips) that he loves her, to stop her from crying.

And yep. Agree gay. And also agree that Alessandra should not be pressuring him to be pleasuring anyone if he isn't in the mood.

I think Dave is OK with all of the Jamie stuff... he was pitching in quite a bit anyway.

I think it's the L word that has really thrown him and made him think about what is happening and how this will work outside. He made a weird comment last night - pretty much the only thing he said - about you can get through the experiment and do everything right and still not fall in love (unless I misheard!) And it's true and it's why MAFS (and life!) has always bothered me....you can be great on paper and you can have experts coaching you about how to make the relationship better...but it can't give you that thing that makes it all fall into place.

Also I think Jamie is great anyway and she is learning loads about her behaviour, good and bad, on here. Her apology to Carina was so genuine last night and I think even she is realising that actually even if she comes out of this without a partner, she's still benefited massively from being on MAFS.

I am so glad Lauren has gone. She seemed to be scarily good at manipulating people into accepting her alternative realities. Evidenced by how she got Clint to agree that they’d both decided they just wanted to be friends when he’d been very clear previously that he hoped to pursue a romantic relationship with her.

Shy people do not go round slagging people off all the time!

Assuming she's not a plant and hasn't been briefed specifically to stir up trouble (which I'm still on the fence about), I couldn't agree more. I guess it would be just about possible to read her abrasiveness as shyness if it wasn't for all the vile insults she's been slinging at the others, but no, on the evidence of how she's been in the show she's just not a nice person, and with no openness to being nicer. I do wonder if Clint still likes her as much after all the poison she's spewed lately.

We see such a small fraction of the actual commitment ceremony and dinner parties. The edit is also huge! When Dave was sat there, it was supposed to seem as if it was all quiet while he contemplated, but you could see Jamie’s mouth and head move from the back as she chatted on, yet no sound.

When it’s all over, it’ll be interesting to see what actually happened, in what order and what wasn’t shown. Also sound and words from another time played over visual shots. Everyone hated Olivia a few series ago, yet once the true edit was shown and explained afterwards, you see how production made her the ‘baddie’ of the series.

The only couple that deserve a happy ending are Rhi and Jeff.

The editing feels very choppy in places, and it makes me wonder how honest a view we're being given. I noticed when the last night of the retreat was shown in recaps/previews, they moved around Jamie's 'Don't even go there' (or whatever she said) several times so who knows what she actually said it in response to! Agree re how they edited Dave's reactions last night too. Difficult to know how much of what we're seeing is how things actually played out, and it's feeling quite frustrating at times. Just show us things as they really happened instead of trying to amp up the drama all the time!

Can we discuss people who have left the show now? Or is that still a spoiler?

My favourite bit of last night was when Lauren was telling the experts about how she was being 'attacked' and couldn't actually name one thing that could constitute an attack. Even she didn't look convinced 😆

JaneJeffer · 15/04/2025 12:36

Have a badly made meme everyone. @dapsnotplimsollsare you watching MAFS? 😆

Mine too. I was so glad her (and Corina’s) lies were pulled up. There was no attack or ganging up on her and she was not upset.

Anything that’s happening to contestants outside of the show needs to be put into the spoiler thread.

These threads are purely for what is happening on the show itself.

Poor Jeff pulling the short straw with Jacqui.

loveawineloveacrisp · 15/04/2025 20:02

Fucking hell, stop whining Carina. Have you never watched this show before? Get a grip.

Discoprincess6 · 15/04/2025 20:39

I actually love Jacqui purely because she’s insane

Honestly done with the whining

JaneJeffer · 15/04/2025 23:48

Just watching now.

so they only thought to mention that Paul dated Awhina’s sister. Pull the other one.

JaneJeffer · 15/04/2025 23:52

Can someone tell Carina she’s not actually married to Paul

dapsnotplimsolls · 15/04/2025 23:54
