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.

I might be overthinking this one, but remembering the awful cases of those police officers going undercover and starting full blown relationships with women.
Wouldn’t someone like Nelly feel similar? Genuinely looking for love and marriage, having sex with someone, living alone with them, someone, who then flips and is aggressive to you…..to find out they’re ‘acting’ for the show, for so called fame.
I have heard people getting approached for the show, these try hard ‘look at me’ types and obviously people in real life get duped in romance scams.
But it does feel all wrong when you think about it, that they’d purposely mix genuine hopefuls with the ‘I’ll do anything for money’ lot. How do they write that in the consenting forms?

Part of me says, relax it’s just a programme, grab yourself a gin ….but there is this niggle of wrongness

Yep that’s grim when you think about it properly. I assume all those wannabes are supposed to be looking for love too…

So as we thought, MAFS was just an elaborate, sympathy seeking promo -at Sarah’s expense
Who the bleeding-eck would pay for this?

Let’s club together and get a Mumsnet rap 😂

I think Nelly will find a great partner, just not from this show, she's loyal, caring, patience, intelligent, a good man will see those qualities in Nelly.
I agree, they were paired for entertainment.

Nelly, just like most women on the show, need to find themselves before they look for a man. How can you know what you want from a partner if you don't know what you yourself want to start with. Or bring to the relationship.

Love/Hate Week. Not sure how much love we'll get.

jay55 · 19/10/2025 21:02

I’m sad Dean is gone now. I could list so much I hate about him. And I’d make him rap it.

Evening all! Are we dinner party today or love hate week first?

No idea, but in trying to not overload on wine I’ve purchased some Lambrini instead.

Not sure it’s going to hit the spot to be honest, but it’s got more of a kick than Ribena.

FirstCuppa · 19/10/2025 21:04

Reiss getting worried Leisha can land a punch there!

dapsnotplimsolls · 19/10/2025 21:05

John and Thingy are so fake.

murasaki · 19/10/2025 21:05

I've laid down a spaghetti ballast, so wine it is.

dapsnotplimsolls · 19/10/2025 21:06

Dinner party tomorrow.

browneyes77 · 19/10/2025 21:06

JR, if you don’t want things discussed on camera…..DON’T GO ON THE SHOW

Exactly, I can't understand her take on this.

I completely zoned out for the first 5 minutes and haven't listened to a thing.

Fuck off JR. There's one thing not bringing your sex life up.. It's another continously slagging someone off, telling everyone how he is shit at sex and not getting any action is a completely another thing.

What trust JR, you walking all over him?

Oh I didn't expect him to get funny about that, I had that shown because Maeve would be overthinking!

Nelly, you haven't got forever here. I've got things in the fridge that will last longer than this shitshow.
