MAFS #8 NO SPOILERS. Reiss wishes he had married a mango to do the horizontal tango. Abi's flaps are in distrust, trapped in tiny fishing line. No boobs or labia, alas. Dean still sucks.

Thinking on this this morning and how JR and Maeve both seem to think Steven is a catch. That is exactly why not properly calling him out on his bullshit is scary. These women saw what he was saying, JR seemed to relish in how grim it was that he was describing shags. Now they seem to want to marry the stoat and don't care he's aggressive, sweary and doesn't care at all about Nelly's feelings. No one has called him on his lovebombing - which is obvious to anyone who saw how he dropped Nelly like a bag of hot turds when they got back from honeymoon. This is why they think he is a viable option, because the experts have enabled him to the point he has presented as harmless. Then you wonder why women want bad boys - which they play on every year - when they show us abusive men with the halo effect.

Just finishing last night’s…Well done Divarni! All this time she has been quashing his personality, manipulative little madam!

Talking about pedo glasses or ‘I’ve got a personality’ glasses
I had to do a double in one of the last clips …I thought JR was wearing those joke glasses with the eyes painted on 🤣

I think JR just wants to attach herself to the Steven narrative because he’s getting the airtime, she’ll do anything.

I worry about Maeve though, I think under the extensions and potential gobbyness, her self worth is probably not great….she’s possibly used to men like this

I’ve never understood the bad boy thing, I always went for the more studious type….if there was ever a Richard Ayoade type in the pub, that was me done for!

Yeah I'm much more Louis Theroux than The Rock (not a great example I'm sure but I don't pay attention to muscle men really!) - mental challenge for the buzz rather than wondering if they might lamp you or get your friends pregnant, dunno, sure it's an adrenaline addiction of sorts.

It's interesting Maeve picked on Nelly though as she is her polar opposite but the only other girl with a similar build. Nelly - educated, well spoken but does do lashes etc. Maeve, single mum at a young age, no real education (don't want to stereotype but maybe a GCSE or 2) and likes lashes/beauty. They've had very different life experiences and Maeve is probably quite jealous, which feeds in to her mental narrative Steven is a catch.

I think JR has some weird fetish stuff going on - talking about her bag of tricks - reckon she likes being aggressive or being aggressed in the bedroom and Divvy is too vanilla. She probably rightly reckons Steven might get very physical.

Does m have hair and lash extensions etc ?

I think people with these struggle to do the clean look
apart from when they are very first done
as they just kinda look scruffy when even slightly growing out

them pedo style glass don’t look good on anyone tho
so a new pair of decent glasses would be good

Pedo glasses 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think You’re right.
False lashes always look like when someone has fallen asleep with their mascara on and she does have hair extensions, so when she has her hair up, it always looks a mess.

Thingyfanding1 · 16/10/2025 11:24

I’m also not really liking Reiss and think he has the potential to be an arse like Stephen. I think we’re seeing his best efforts currently but his mask will slip

Also, his facial expressions are very distracting, what’s going on with all the pouting!

FirstCuppa · 16/10/2025 11:26

Same, I feel they are cut from the same cloth and both are on there for the boyz and shagz that can come after. The kinds who would race each other on a motorway and not care that they were weaving and driving dangerously.

They seem to both just want a quiet woman who puts up and shuts up. Anything beyond that = irritating/annoying.

Thinking aloud here and interrogating why I (and many others) perceive Grace and Maeves appearances a bit differently…

I feel someone like Grace gets away with hair scraped back and/or casual clothes because she’s slim with a killer bone structure and kind of fine straight hair and quite “good” skin (tight, smooth even looking)

Rightly or wrongly it’s harder for someone like her to be seen as sloppy or scruffy. To me she just looks like effortlessly pretty or girl next door/ natural etc when she does that.

When Maeve is barefaced, with her thick wavy hair (which is amazing hair btw) pulled back, no makeup, lounge wear etc it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I don’t think “girl next door”.

Not saying she’s obese but she is larger than Grace and I do know some bigger woman who say they feel they need to make more of an effort to be well groomed or they’ll be viewed as sloppy or even smelly.

Edited

No, I think it is to do with her weight at all.
Grace has a good skin care routine, her hair is brush back tidy, not gripped to the top of her head greasy, Grace's clothes fit better, she has less filler again not a size problem, and lastly, I know I'm mean, I'm having dental treatment myself, not in Turkey, but Maeve's teeth are awful.

I don't think Maeve's hair is her own.

I'm slim and often look slobbish.

I think it's terrible but the more you mess with what you were born with the cheaper it looks. Fake hair looks great in pictures but in reality it often does look fake. Fake lashes look like drag artists to me when they are so thick, again makes you look like you are attempting to create something rather than hiding natural beauty. Most of these girls would look less alike, more individual and naturally pretty like Grace if they hadn't bought into the Barbie Handbook idea of what women should look like. I think Maeve has lovely eyes but they are hidden under heavy black caterpillars. Likewise her hair will look thin when she takes out the extensions as they likely will have damaged her actual hair.

Steven is simply fecking hideous. A horrible, angry, maladjusted, nasty little shit. Surprised there’s no tag on his ankle tbh. 14 year old style temper and facial hair, gaslighting and misogyny through the roof. He’s an unemployed father of 2 who reeks of e-bikes, balaclavas and coke. WTAF is Nelly seeing??!

I’m always wary of these men that go on there who have young children. I mean, wtf are they doing? I didn’t know he was unemployed too - what a catch!

Betteboop · 16/10/2025 11:59

I just want to know why Jo’s been faking it so much - wasn’t he the first one to drop the L bomb? Has he always had his doubts about Maeve & instead of voicing them just made out theyre great & he loves her? I mean that is quite extreme! Think it’s pretty hurtful that he’s left their apartment & won’t let her support him over his grand dad’s passing. Yes she’s a party girl & he’s in recovery but she isn’t devoid of empathy or support. Another one where the producers have told him what to do??

Leah is the same, they look awful.

@FirstCuppa Quoted myself.😅

FirstCuppa · 16/10/2025 12:15

I'm wary of sounding holier than thou about it - I've tried lashes and got a bit addicted. I can see how it can make you feel like you're making an effort and then when they come off your real eyes look tiny and weird because you get so used to them. It's all so sad because these women do it through low self esteem to get the abusive twats like Steven who think that is a marker of a woman he can manipulate, often rightly, because they literally have to put a mask on every day. It's the subtext of why I don't like the whole "get your nails done love" comments Ash and Joe have done, because it all feeds into the same pipeline.

I was at a big Kickboxing event a couple of weekends ago….shock horror, don’t tell Reiss, my grown up daughter does kickboxing (tried ballet as a pre-schooler but hated it, so my son took her place, what is the world coming to eh Reiss?)
-there was an incredible amount of fillers and thick lashes with the mums and wives of competitors (it was like their own little competition) plus thick tide lines of foundation…..these women probably look fabulous in Insta pictures but put them in a sports hall with strip lighting, not great ….also with the lip thing, do these people not realise we can see them from the side?

PTSDBarbiegirl · 16/10/2025 12:18

Paul is quite worrying really, the level of blatant misogynistic ‘calling out’ of Sarah, the tut tutting attitude because she doesn’t fancy him… maybe Paul could take Dean out on a date if he feels Dean is owed. Are the ixperts even qualified. Dean will probably do a stint on the Royal Variety Show, front a show tunes based musical and lose 10 stone before entering Big Brother or Love Island. 🏝️ Why do they hate Sarah so much?! She doesn’t deserve it.

I used to like him, but the more I see/hear of him he absolutely infuriates me. Awful coercive, gaslighting pr!ck!
I am sure they’ll be an investigation about him soon, he’s already doing a lot of back tracking online

Betteboop · 16/10/2025 12:29

@ExtraPaddingForFallingOver oooh who’s doing the backtracking online - Paul the ixpert of Dean? I dislike both but Dean more for being a toxic care bear.

Italiangreyhound · 16/10/2025 12:35

FirstCuppa great post at top of page and so TRUE.

This behaviour must be called out. If the experts do not have access to footage they should see it. But the bullying 'cunts' comment was at a dinner party so they did see it.

Italiangreyhound · 16/10/2025 12:43

"think JR has some weird fetish stuff going on - talking about her bag of tricks - reckon she likes being aggressive or being aggressed in the bedroom and Divvy is too vanilla. She probably rightly reckons Steven might get very physical."

I agree. I am so glad Dirvali is calling her out on it. He is a cute guy and I think he could get auch nicer woman than JR.

Paul has no place being an 'expert' bring back the Aussie guy. Or get a fucking nobody who has a psychology degree and KNOWS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!!
