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.

He honestly looks homeless

Maybe he just can't remember where he lives as he didnt tattoo his address on his arm

Maybe Sarah will fancy Cabbage Bez because he has tattoos!

He might actually be a step up from Dean you know...
Maybe Paul would like her again if she promises to go out with one of the crap duds they've scraped up? Anita would be eternally grateful too.

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.

Well, off the top of my head I don't believe Paul is 60, Anita is 54 or Rebecca is 32. They look much older to me.

Pinkfluffypencilcase · 01/10/2025 16:05

Paul and Anita look older

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 01/10/2025 16:06

Looks like Steven is not as nice as he was presenting judging by the preview

Anita is aging by the episode, but that's on Paul.

It’d make me want to leave early. Though I’m definitely a slow burner.

I cannot see it working. Oh these feather antics have made me realise I do like you!

Right?

It just feels like they’re trying to force the issue out of desperation, because they’re worried about people leaving early.

When the reality is, it’s either going to:

A) Backfire and make people want to leave even more.

B) Make people (Sarah & Anita especially), feel they have to uncomfortably participate in some sexual role play shite, in order to placate the ixperts. Which is tantamount to coercion.

Hard agree. I’d give them another half decade each, more in Paul’s case

mumofoneAloneandwell · 01/10/2025 16:28

I wander whether sarah was saying she was going to leave and Paul bullied her into staying

She was so upset, easy not to be able to think clearly

It’s such bollocks isn’t it. If you are not into someone this will just confirm it completely.

Performative sexualised nonsense with an annoying twat.

Wrong in itself and a terrible message

What they need is a non-sexual lesson in communication. All of the couples. Why they do this shite is beyond me. For the pervvy male viewers I suspect as one of the women ends up showing off underwear for the camera. Depressing.

😂 he is awful

most of the men are.

mateysmum · 01/10/2025 17:17

What really gets me about the ixperts is the forced teaming and perhaps intimacy of women with men they are never in a million years going to fancy as if it's all their fault. Sarah didn't come over well at the dinner party but bloody hell, Ixpert Paul could have called her out for the disrespect OK but he then essentially bullied her to tears with no holding Paul to account at all for being an annoying twat.
Having said that, Sarah should have written leave like Anita - why waste time.
All this supposed pairing based on 'values' - I know loads of people with similar values - good decent people - but I don't want to shag them. Why pair Crystal Tips who's scared of heights with someone who is into adrenalin sports?
Am I taking this too seriously? Maybe I need a lie down....

dapsnotplimsolls · 01/10/2025 18:10

Dean's going to use his moobs as a weapon isn't he? Not literally ...

I completely agree.

I get they want them to go outside of their ‘usual type’, but Dean is the complete opposite to her usual type. She clearly likes tall, tanned and tattooed. So they gave her short, overweight and pasty (with zero tattoos). I think what she wanted was, tall, tattooed AND nice. She got the self proclaimed nice guy but nothing even close to her other physical attractions.

Now the tattoos, yeah that’s the part that they could’ve scrapped. But surely they could’ve found someone that was somewhere a bit more in between what she usually goes for and Dean? Rather than someone who is about as far away as you can get, to what she’s attracted to.

Paul really went in on her to the point it felt a bit like bullying. Sure call her out, but that felt a bit OTT. Yet when men have been abusive on this show, he’s never gone in on them even half as hard!! It’s the double standards for me.

Fair play Anita, good to see someone being completely true to herself. I wasted a good proportion of my life on a man who was ‘forgetful’, dozy, couldn’t remember to ask me questions about myself and had so many ridiculous excuses and I watered myself down and convinced myself I was being a primadonna. He said he’d try harder and every now and then just gave enough for me to feel safe, held and heard then slipped back.
I just got more and more disappointed and just stopped talking about myself.
there were reasons I let it go on that long , I wasn’t in a good place for other reasons.
I admire her for having that level of self esteem so early on.
Typing as I watch:
i feel for her being forced to try another week with him. He’s no spring chicken, it would take a lot to change a person at this age .

A lot depends on the person, I think. I know people his age or a little older/younger who've made big life changes, but they've been people who weren't set in their ways the way Paul appears to be. I get the feeling he wants everything in his life to stay essentially the same, just for a partner to magically appear and blend in seamlessly and expect very little effort. Maybe I'm doing him a disservice, but that's the impression I'm getting.

I also don't like the way he appears to bristle at any hint of criticism.

Yes I think this sounds right, especially Rebecca. I’m sure Anita is older but I know people around her age who look like her but also looks like she’s had work at some point around the brows so she could be older.
paul is hard to tell depending on his lifestyle!

Homewardbanned · 01/10/2025 19:44

Sarah is this year’s Casper isn’t she. I can’t imagine how she must have felt after this. Proper mind fuck

mumofoneAloneandwell · 01/10/2025 19:46

Still can't get over how nasty paul was to Sarah honestly

Really looked like bullying and she definitely was confused when she wrote stay

If she didn’t have the ick anyway, one look at those moobs would trigger a boke.
