Surely Sarah and Dean will be the next to leave… for the love of god 🤣 Also JR and Divarni, another complete waste of time.

The weight thing sadly, is very much part of the topic, because he is using it in a controlling way. It’s very bizarre.

I do agree he is wielding his weight as a weapon of control to garner sympathy and to hide behind. (Not as if that justifies anyone else being unkind about his weight of course) But I do feel aside from being very manipulative which is unfair to others, he is also not doing himself any favours in the long term. You can’t guilt a woman into liking you!

He keeps suggesting he usually does this great charm offensive which gets women to fall for him, hence he believes he will win Sarah round 🤦🏽‍♀️ But in the same breath has implied he usually likes woman a lot more than they like him - and ultimately they don’t really accept him or see him as special.

False accusations are always projections.

Moving on, who do we think will be next to leave? Surely it has to be JR and Divarni. Somebody on Reddit called her friends the Siamese Twinks, which amused me.

Gawd I really hope so. As a viewer you’d at least want to warm to one or both, but these two are awful.
I bet in a couple of series we’ll not even remember them……I’ll see that weird finger clap and just have a surprising shudder

I think JR is purely in it for the fame. She doesn’t seem ready to settle down, she seems immature with her friends, nowhere near marriage in her attitude which I think is why she’s struggled so much with Divarni who seems very serious. I think she’ll want to stay in for the fame though.

Please let Dean and Sarah leave next. Sarah will need therapy after putting up with creepy, predatory Dean and being gaslig by the experts.

He certainly is a mixed up, self sabotaging bunny!
Thing is, he’s not that bad looking (I’m slightly contorted as I say that) but he’s doing all this contrived attention seeking stuff.

Personally I would have been out of there at the mention of ‘magician’ ….polo necks and dodgy hands 🤢

EmeraldShamrock000 · 10/10/2025 11:40

He has created a jolly personality around his weight. Tbf most people are defensive and defiant around weight gain. You read all the time, people were unhappy when they lost weight, or looked haggard, they enjoy being fat, partners shouldn't mention it.
My friend who had weight-loss surgery said she was tired of masking her weight by acting extra jolly.
Contestants should have at least 6 weeks of therapy before joining the show.

Reading the thread, when there has been a trans person on before, it’s no wonder people will wonder if there will be again. Someone commented on Aprils masculine voice, which April herself had mentioned. There’s nothing wrong with that. These contestants know they’re going to be talked about and all want to be famous as they wouldn’t be on the show.

Some people seem to think having gender critical views mean transphobia, they think women not wanting to share toilets with men is transphobia. Personally I wouldn’t watch the show if there was a trans person on as I think the ideology is harmful. Thats not transphobia either.

But it is. It LITERALLY IS. Trans is not an ideology. Any more than being blonde is an ideology. Or having blue eyes. And your comments about not wanting to share a loo "with a man" shine a massive spotlight on your issues. A trans woman is not a man, she's a woman.

Anyway peeps, my apologies for getting involved in the derailment of a usually good humoured thread.
The faster it gets full the better.
Catch up on the next calm one.

JaneJeffer · 10/10/2025 12:10

can we stick to discussing the actual programme eh?

FirstCuppa · 10/10/2025 12:11

No. He is a man. You can call him what you want. No skin of anyone's nose. Do as you will.

Anyway I'm just ignoring that topic now. Not having them ruining this nice thread where we've all been happily normal and not policed. Everyone is fed up of the discussion now - we've had the top court in the land rule on it and they still won't listen, so I'm not engaging. Bore off and tell someone who cares, it's not what this thread is about.

yeah I’m rooting for them! Hope they go somewhere nice on their honeymoon.

I reckon the holiday budget is all spent and they'll get Wales. But they'll have a laugh anyway.

Aw that would be such a shame as they love travel!
I really hope they have their own bubble like Davide and Keye have managed to do.

It's Nelly's family lasagne coming up too, isn't it?
I can't imagine that will go well. From the clip Steven actually admits swearing at her but he's so bloody emotionally unstable I think they'll just quietly give her looks and a rope ladder to leave. I hope the show has some burly men in the wings in case he kicks off again. I can't imagine him not being volatile if challenged, with his ego.

Feels like a long wait now!

Maybe keep it "good humoured" by not making bigoted comments? I didn't start this, I just called out some awful behaviour, with support of others on this thread. And I'll continue to do so.

This is a thread where we watch,laugh at and discuss MAFS. I don't recall you doing any of that, just another tedious drive by scolding.

It's not being "policed", don't be so dramatic. You can say what you want, but you just have to deal with the consequences, with people calling you out on it. That's all it is.
