MAFS THREAD 9- NO SPOILERS. We are half-way there and yet no end in sight. The same old arguments arise, no new dramas, and just lies. Care bare is no more, Sarah's free to breathe alone. There are too many couples and not enough life.

[Dillite2]

We really need to have something good happen on the show. Coming up with thread titles is getting harder and harder and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

I'm unsure.
Leah is protective, Crystal.is tough but wants to be protected.
I can see the trust and intimacy growing between them.

Ash just wants a dolly-bird who'll laugh at his jokes. Grace needs someone with the same sense of humour as her (if she has one) and who'll actually listen to her.

😂

Just catching up!

Oh Leah is on the after show thing

It’s very interesting because pretty much every response she has I think ‘what the fuck is she on about? but understand I’m not automatically right.

I just couldn’t be friends with Grace and doubtless she’d dislike me too. It would feel like nothing is easy, you know?

I remember watchin it when it first came out. It felt like a real genuine, experiment with people mostly in it for the right reasons. Now it’s just a miserable reality show with people in it for the fame. Stopped watching.

Maybe AI because I don't think she has a sense of humour. She has a point but it gets lost , it doesn't have to be so deep.

@IAmKerplunk Grace has been stuck with a traditionalist for effect. She's not a bad person, she's someone who doesn't put up with chauvinistic behaviour of any kind.

I turned over at that point. I don't think they should have participants on there - surely they're going to give something away?

Ye olde days of genuineness 😂

So many of these people are painful to listen to.

Can't stand JR (superiority complex), Dev (argumentative), Stephen (agressive), Leigh (money & self absorbed) Leisha (too much) Leo (as deep as a puddle) and Grace (she's like an argumentative, micro manager, she's also queen of deflection, no self reflection or awareness whatsoever).

Nelly needs to get a lot of self esteem.

Not sure what to make of Maeve & Joe.

Nelly, April, Leah, Reiss and Ashley could do with better partners.

Rebecca and Bailey are alright and Abi & John seem normal and well-suited. Keyed & Davide also seem to be well suited.

I agree with this - I can see where she is coming from and she wants him to be sure she sees it and it won't fly even when the cameras are off. I think she has balls. Bit sad to see her looking so worried when he gets sulky. I hope she isn't too invested to walk either if they decide they don't fit. He is already threatening it but she actually looked worried that he hadn't realised and was taking it to heart so much.

Poor old Bailey, feel sorry for him. Why did she set it up that he couldn't be honest if asked a question.

I actually forgot who Abi and John were then for a minute, had to really crank the brain gears to remember the chipmunks.

I don't even think that he wants a dolly bird who laughs at his jokes. He does want someone who will banter back though and not instantly get offended and on the defensive hyper analysis. They are just simply not suited for each other.

Poor old Nelly, she needs to wake up. Steve is a rat. RUN.

Steven being called out

Bailey, she is being awful, total DARVO. Bailey could match with anyone on this show. Bailey please go and rescue Nelly.

No Nelly, you do not need to loosen up a bit, you need to put your trainers on and run...

"I know I am damaged and hard work and I can see where Grace is coming from every single time. It’s quite scary reading all your responses about her because it is making me look at myself and how people must see me. At least I am single!"

Honestly, the opinions on Grace are quite split on here. Some of us quite like her and think she has a point.

I can see how frustrating it would be for Grace to be asked to say the things she doesn't like about Ashley, to day them, and then have Ashley argue the toss, and get upset about it. When that was the task!!

I could see from the outset what April was talking about. It was clear his introvert excuse was just that - an excuse . Many introverts are better At in depth conversations tbh I think we will see more of his lack of intelligence /depth over the next few days.

JR is being so ridiculous. She has basically used him for sexual gratification without really liking him emotionally or physically. Diva was spot on with what he said. Her excuse about having sex because she was trying to like him didn’t make sense, if she was trying she would work on the emotional connection first. Not just keep sleeping with him.

Her being so height obsessed to the extent she can’t find him attractive is strange too when she said she finds him handsome.

Exactly, we can not forget how underwhelmed he was at the altar. This apparent turnaround is no surprise to me.

He does seem quite focused on appearance so i did think it was weird he switched up shortly after the wedding and began to “like her” or even love her.

I don’t know if he was faking it deliberately, but I wonder if he was hypnotised by good sex on the honeymoon or something and now it’s worn off he sees her like how he did on their wedding day.

Goodness, I am falling under the Leigh and Leah halo. I think they may be able to work it out (hopeless romantic!!).

Grace is flogging a dead horse with Ash. He doesn't seem able to adjust to this. You were not betrayed, Ash, you did call Grace a dick. It's not about character, it's about habits. He wants to make people laugh more than he wants to make Grace happy.
