MAFSAUS Thread 11 - (No Spoilers!): Dodgy dates with alternative mates, fast talking liars should have their plums squeezed with pliers, Wacqui Jacqui has gone off the rails, this season is full of relationship fails.

Place your best on who’s going to survive final vows.

Rhi & Jeff

Er yeah that’s it.

There is zero sexual chemistry with Jeff & Rhi just very bland.

I'm liking Jeff and Rhi, they seem nice mature people and well suited, and I'm glad they've lasted. It's nice to see some happiness in the ixperiment. But I do agree they seem quite bland!

Been lurking all the way through as I didn’t have anyone irl to discuss with.
My opinion is Jeff and Rhi are not bland but just a normal couple navigating their relationship. No drama, which is great for them but doesn’t make good entertainment for viewers . I hope they make it in the outside world

I agree with this. I like them both. 'Boring' but sensible. Makes you wonder why they came on the show really.

Why is it boring? Just because they are not exhibitionists . Most people’s lives look boring

Still waters run deep.

Rhi and Jeff are well matched, decent people but MY GOD THEY ARE BORING. I can imagine that if they were in my friendship group, I wouldn't want to be stuck talking to them at a party for too long.

I really like Beth now. She has become more vocal since she realised that things were going nowhere with Teejay and I agree with pretty much everything that comes out of her mouth. Teejay, on the other hand, has become completely irrelevant. I don't think anyone would notice if he wasn't even at the dinner party.

Bit disappointed that Jamie went - I get that she doesn't have a history of trailing red flags behind her, but I just think she made a bad choice there. I can't decide what Big Dave is feeling or not feeling for her. I WANT it to be real, but I am mot convinced.

Feel sorry for Awina. Yes, she has been listening to her Fanjo instead of her brain, but Mumbledore excelled himself in Advanced-Cuntery tonight. Really hope Awina got her task-date's phone number.

And assuming that is going to be Waqui's big reveal (as per teasers) that she swapped numbers with Rory.

And finally, if we get to another thread, can we please include THE GRASS IS GREENER WHEN YOU WATER IT in the title somewhere? Please and thank you.

Is final vows on Monday???

Il est un homme bébé français 🇫🇷

Final vows Monday and Tuesday. Reunion Wednesday and Thursday.

How long after final vows do they hold the reunion?

Gosh that’s soon. I thought reunion was weeks later.

I think it’s months later that it’s filmed.

TV guide says it's four weeks after final vows (or the end of the ixpiriment)

I like that they show the reunion straightaway so it's all done and dusted, not leaving weeks to have to ignore spoilers like the UK version.

Suggestion for final thread title:

MAFSAU S12 NO SPOILERS.

THE GRASS IS GREENER. WACQUI'S FACE IS EVEN GREENER AND AWIHNA FINALLY SEES MUMBLEDORE'S TRUE COLOURS. VOWS LOOM AND SUSPENSE IS HIGH (UNLESS YOU ARE TEEJAY - THE MOST FORGETTABLE CONTESTANT EVER). WILL TRICOLOR'S HAIR PLUGS HOLD UP? WILL BIG DAVE BE A NO-SHOW? WILL RYRY DESTROY THE SHRINE WITH HIS SAMURAI SWORD? RAISE YOUR FROSTED CANDLE HOLDERS AND DRINK A TOAST TO THE END OF SEASON 12.

Can we spell Awhina's name properly though

Sorry. Absolutely yes.

Although we might accidentally misspell 'Paul' as 'XXL headed, red flag waving, gaslighty, sweaty-faced pig'

The fact they have never had a cross word gives more friendship vibes me thinks

DH and I genuinely didn’t have a crossed word until we’d been together a couple of years, and I like to think we’re more than friends 😬

Reality TV dating shows seem to perpetuate a myth that a relationship can’t be genuine without angst and drama and ‘tests’. It’s not the case.

I've created a special thread just for the terminology and clichés of the MAFSAU universe.

NB it's not a new no spoiler chat thread like this one

Omg there's a reunion??? Im a first timer watching this and am now beyond there's a reunion, cant wait 🤣🤣🤣

The final vows are usually pretty dull, may just skip to the reunions. We all know there's only one genuine couple amongst them!

Just caught up - far too much Paul and not enough of the Odd Couple. Adrian will turn up to final vows just for that final bit of exposure. Paul desperately trying to squeeze out a few tears was hilarious. Did that bingo card have pleather on it?

Finally caught up after a hectic week.

I LOVE Rhi and Jeff. I love how they have thwarted any attempt by the producers to inject drama and conflict into their relationship.
Example: the ‘stick or twist’ task. Both said “no thank you” without a moment’s hesitation. She then spent the day reading a book while he was on the Gameboy.

I’ve been listening to Lauren Dunn’s (from last year) podcast and she says each couple has their own producer assigned to them. The producers are expected to bring the drama with their couple or else they may not get their contracts renewed for next year. So whoever has Rhi and Jeff is totally getting fired. (And whoever has Ryan and Jacqui will be getting a massive pay rise!)

Also glad Awhina has finally seen the light. She spends most of her time with a 6 year old child so is probably used to more articulate and intelligent conversation than Adrian’s!
