Mafs Thread 4-Dizzy Dez is not the best. Rapping Dean makes Sarah scream. Crystal tips has frozen nips. Experts are oblivious. Alphas are mysterious.

I tried!

Flat pack furniture assembly called!

90% of the fun from watching MAFS is this thread. I can read it and enjoy it without even seeing the episode

Please elaborate! I’m rubbish at things like this but I find todays faces really confusing because the filled and noticed faces can age or make someone look younger, there’s no rhyme nor reason and the natural faces tend to get more criticism because people often say they look haggard or like heavy smokers etc when they’re just showing normal ageing.

I am up harvesting grapes at 5.30 tomorrow morning (not my own vineyard I might add) so I can’t read this shiny new thread now but I am very glad someone started a new one. Thanks @Dillite2. I loved the CC tonight overall but god these episodes are long aren’t they?!!

Finally caught up!
So glad you all saw the same bullying I did. Poor Sarah. He couldn't even tell her what she said could he? I kept waiting for him to say what was so nasty - do we think it was when she called him a Care Bear? Or just when she said she had the ick? It was way out of proportion for him making her cry. She obviously was racking her brains thinking, knowing, she wasn't being a huge bitch like Paul made out. Dean grinning like a cat saying "oh well now I know she's been disrespecting me I feel so bad and she only gets one more chance" Fuck off. You can't even go a day without rapping for her mate. Which is another thing, they made out Dean had made some big sacrifices and Sarah had made none! Dean hasn't stopped rapping AT ALL! He was doing it at the sodding dinner party. She has had to put up with that over a week, which is plenty of sacrifice for my books.

I'm angry but not surprised. Paul is obviously going to be getting the women to learn to tolerate poor behaviour while giving no guidance to the men - Bez wasn't even advised to ask questions to appear interested! Dean is the golden child of the series and being given some kind of awful music deal out of this while the women get re-programmed on having to lower our expectations and keep schtum and adapt. I hope Anita and Grace pull Sarah aside and let her know she's not a bitch or going crazy. Horrible to watch her so upset and not know why they were gunning for her. Totally unproductive episode other than giving the men green lights to carry right on ignoring what they need to do and gaslight Sarah into thinking she is the problem for being open about how she feels.

I feel sorry for Sarah AND Dean. The person to blame for this awful match is the people doing the matching.

I do think Sarah was disrespectful and she should be careful being painted as the baddie on telly is not good. But Dean is very annoying.

The 'expert' Paul was very dominant tonight, not sure why.

But how was she disrespectful? By explaining how she felt to the others like they were doing with her? All we saw was her saying he was like a Care Bear and that she had the ick from his rapping. It's not like she was going on about his moobs or saying he smelt and laughing about his lack of talent - all of which would have been valid but actually disrespectful.

@Charredtea I am sorry you stayed so long with a man who did not appreciate you. It's a familiar story, I know others in that boat. But I am glad you found your way out. XX

Also a bit sus about the Julia/Divarni thing - as others said I can't tell if she is being manipulative about the whole "but I asked him a deep question and am annoyed he gave a deep answer" or if he is actually being abusive behind closed doors and she has a valid reason to be so upset. We don't seem to be seeing anything interesting with the cuts but the reactions seem way OTT.

Bit bored of it tbh - I like Grace and Ashley best and they really have a shot long term I think. I hope the Maeve and Joe thing works but suspect they'll struggle with alcohol later. Gay guys doing well and seem to have their heads screwed on (and other things) the rest...nah. The lesbians aren't getting any deeper. Steve is deffo going to have stuff from his past coming out if the preview is anything to go by - he won't be as attentive once she knows what he is really like and needs proper reassurance. I hope Anita walks if Bez carries on and frankly can't imagine he is suddenly going to gain interpersonal skills after the distinct lack of any guidance from the Icksperts.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It’s been quite revelatory watching it play out so fast on mafs, he didn’t attempt to mask it too long, had a go at some gaslighting and then she was done, all within three episodes,
she is my guru.

Who is shrieking with delight when Anita begrudgingly says yes, she will give it a go... mad...

It's annoying that this word rejection is being used, it is a very loaded word.

Maeve, it is sad that she is automatically thinking Joe won't like her. I can't quite see that Joe is at all attractive. Not my type but neither are Ashley or Bailey, and I can see how they are attractive.

Yeah, I looked up when they were doing tomorrow’s previews thinking Mark Wright had walked on!

I’m also a bit sus about JR and Divani. They’re both both in the entertainment industry and can’t help feeling that they’re just doing it for exposure. Everyone knows if you’re in a ‘problematic’ relationship you get more airtime. However they went from the wedding day and being totally besotted to a complete 180 on the honeymoon and she couldn’t stand him. Plus her complete histrionics at the dinner party seems so fake. They both still follow each other on instagram so even if they’re still not together maybe the animosity coming from JR to Divarni isn’t entirely genuine….

Yes, she clearly didn't get what she wanted on the wedding night in the bedroom, which he wasn't aware of going by his face. Julia has read the room and is doing the typical girl script we are all taught to try to minimise hurt feelings of others when we want to say how we feel (Sarah didn't do so was tarred and feathered) by saying "Oh but I feel so bad for being the bitch! I really don't want to be mean but...I just want someone genuine!" All of which felt overly dramatic for the little issues they had but would have served Sarah well. It's annoying though as men never have to give those kind of fluffy "please don't hate me" proviso lines when they want to express themselves.

Arguably the best part of MAFS is reading this thread after the episode has aired (I’m shit at doing two things at once). CabbageBez! 😂

He looks like a roided-up Louis Spence.

Woke up early so treated myself to a cup of coffee in bed whilst I caught up on the rest of the episode.

Fuming on behalf of Anita! I doubt Paul will change, she'll be saying leave again next week.

Crystal and Leah. It seems like they are actually getting on ok with each other on a friends level and Crystal actually came across as more reasonable for a change. I don't understand the whole her not fancying Leah because she's too feminine thing. She explicitly said in her pre wedding bits that she was looking for someone with masculine energy and that it wasn't really about clothes or how they presented themselves physically - I feel like Leah does have some masculine energy, she's very confident and assertive and whilst very pretty I wouldn't describe her as a girly girl.

Nelly and Steve. He's a wrong 'un I think, Nelly will become even more insecure as his wrongness reveals itself and he will get fed up of having to constantly reassure her and be annoyed at having his real self revealed.

Looking forward to tomorrow even though intimacy week makes me really cringe.

Absolutely. Words are meaningless, actions are everything. If you want to get into my pants you better wash, dry, iron, fold and put them away first. Then we can talk.

Has Grace found out Ashley is loaded?
She’s had a complete personality transplant overnight

I was out last night and won’t get time to catch up before tonight. Did anybody vote to leave?

Anita. But Cabbage Bez didn't, so she's now stuck with intimacy week.

Thank you.

Oh God, imagine having to stare into his eyes or whatever 😱

Bleurgh. Or do one of Charlene's 'sexy time' tasks with a feather.

I was just reading comments and thought that you were referring to Crystal/Leigh. But it was an advert that must have been on!

Catching up on last night's

Sarah was in the wrong imo

Yes Dean is an absolute twat but you decided to insult his appearance, no-one forced you to do that 🙄
