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.

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.

Abi and John look like brother and sister to me.

I think April and Hotdog look like siblings too.

3 things i (dont) love about Steven:
Your ratty face
Your skinny sockless ankles
Your T1000 stare

Mine are
way he speaks, personality, entire existence

dapsnotplimsolls · 20/10/2025 18:36

April's starting to look at Hotdog as if he's Reiss.

chaosmaker · 20/10/2025 18:46

Unpopular opinion, but I don't like Ash. I'm in South Wales and he reminds me of someone that I was in school with maybe? He is typical rugby bloke and I think he is sexist. I prefer Grace of the 2 of them. She is honest with him and he can't cope with her using logic and having actual real memories of stuff that's happened (which he then agrees that that is what happened).

The way that Davide is reacting is how I would react to raccoons.

They are mental. Once had one break into the kitchen of a place I worked in the states and he'd undone the peanut butter jars and eaten loads.... scoundrel. They humane trapped him and set him free :) He was a teenager and suprisingly big.

Just caught up by speed watching the episode and speed reading the thread.
I went to London to see DD for the day so was on a late train back.

Things I loved about this episode-the otters
And this thread!

Things I hated- most of the rest of the episode. Especially the constant use of the word 'muggy'!

Anyway I'll be able follow along live tonight, yay!

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!

I love Grace, he is giving her mixed messages and she is telling him he's doing that. He doesn't understand that even when they were doing the love/hate on the couch and he said to her about laughing stuff off but to bring things up in the moment. She really would look crazy following that advice from him.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 20/10/2025 19:20

I'm re-watching last nights quickly. I missed so much of it reading and watching.
Looking forward to Crystal having it out with JR, Leah will have her back.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 20/10/2025 19:21

Bailey is far nicer than Joe, that was disrespectful.

dapsnotplimsolls · 20/10/2025 19:24

Bailey came across very well last night.

That would have made my century

@chaosmaker S Wales too. He's lovely and charming but I wouldn't put up with his shit either. I think his kind of sexist behavior is regularly overlooked, as though it’s more tolerable than others because it's said with a smile. He's not a bad bloke but his views run deep.

She is honest with him and he can't cope with her using logic and having actual real memories of stuff that's happened (which he then agrees that that is what happened).

I'm with you on this. I think she is right with what she says about his snap judgements, you can see he thinks she causes all of the issues, rather than consider if she had casually called him a dick if he might also have felt that was unjust.

It's a very good thing so many women don't see it so that they can put up with it though. His attitude wouldn't fly with me. I genuinely think Grace is disappointed he has gone through the motions of understanding and respecting her, yet clearly hasn't actually internalised any of it. Any guy who baseline argues "it's just bantz" is a bellend in my opinion. She looked genuinely worried when he flounced yesterday. He doesn't like to talk things through when called out. We saw that he said it and tried to gaslight her that he didn't and then that she laughed "with him" about it, which we saw she didn't but didn't make a huge fuss. If she had she would be back at sq 1 with him as they were at the start, so she has grown, he has not.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 20/10/2025 19:44

Grace is really attractive. If Ashley and Grace can reach a balance, they could be happy long-term.
Right, I'm done.
Ready for the next episode.
Edited.. I'm moving towards team Grace, after re-watching, he is irritating.

HumBumBum · 20/10/2025 20:48

Just popped on to see if I’d missed an 8pm start!

Mafsing · 20/10/2025 20:57

Good LORD .Just catching up with last night's episode. Nearly all the people this year are awful. Just awful!

murasaki · 20/10/2025 21:01

OK, bring on the calling out of JR. And Keye's hat.

Dillite2 · 20/10/2025 21:02

My lips are salty and I am ready to be bitchy

Takes alot to make a mockery of MAFS!

dapsnotplimsolls · 20/10/2025 21:05

Why does Keye strop off?

murasaki · 20/10/2025 21:05

No Reiss, that shirt was godawful. Even the cast of Boogie anights would have rejected it.
