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.

She admitted to having a stick up her arse!

It's one of her regular lines in MAFSAU

Why does the grinning loon keep saying the other grinning loon makes him “a better person”? After a flipping week or two?

Anything that woman and i'm out. detest her and her weird ostrich face

Does anyone remember the wobbly randy old ladies from the Harry Enfield show? I’ve just realised I’ve turn into one of them - every time I see Keye I find myself saying ‘ooh young man, he’s like a young George Michael’. For me he’s the most likeable of them all and he’s so articulate.

What's all this 'better person' stuff anyway- in what way? I don't even get what he's trying to say. He only has one line and he just grins and says it. Very odd!

He'll always stick up for the boys though, rugby boy!

Rathoy soooo loved the fact JR fancies him let’s see how this now plays out. Divvy is just gormless! If this had been the other way round there’d be hell to play. Sorry but Abi and John are also gormless or are playing a very good game. April and Leo I forget they’re even in it!

Yep. She likes his “confidence” ie. Arrogance and fire (fury) and his height. I mean he basically called her a cunt and she keeps saying how attractive she finds him. Twisted.

I think Maeve has a bit of a crush on him too tbh - she’s another one with a history of toxic men.

It doesn’t matter to someone like J-R that his face isn’t conventionally attractive compared to the handsome Dirvani.

She sadly likes dickhead toxic males not sensitive guys who talk about their fear of being alone and keep forgiving her time and time again.

When she met D she said he was extremely handsome. I think she hasn’t expressed herself well but I don’t think it’s that’s she finds him ugly. I think it’s everything else around him.

Joe is hoping Maeve will finish with him and save him the bother he’s a coward

In what f*&%ing universe does Steve think him and Nelly are the strongest couple!

Just the stupid name Julia Ruth grinds my gears !

Kudos to Leigh and Keay as they are consistent, they also called out Steven - but I feel some type of way about the men who have remained quite silent about Steven’s treatment of Nelly suddenly finding their voice to come for J-R. Especially that Bailey bloke.

Ash is giving me waiter vibes in his bow tie
Leah looks like she's wearing a carnival costume
JR looking like she has a pencil mustache tonight!

Leigh is talking sense, Bailey and Grace making a lot of sense too, I'd like to have seen Bailey and Grace as a couple.

When does the wife swapping begin? It's a bit late this year. I want to see knickers, fur and morals flying. It's been so dull that I think an illicit love child is now due.

You just know that Steven and JR will get coupled up for the maximum effect and attention

Divarni is genuinely beautiful! Steven is repulsive. I wonder if his job in finance pays well and Julia has got wind of his earnings? I can’t think of anything else unless she genuinely has a thing about height?
I really got racist vibes from him a lot but he seemed quite puffed up when she said likes him.
what is she thinking?!

I reckon Steven's ego is the only thing that gets inflated about him.

No way. Bailey is fun and pleasant, Grace is hard work and dull & dour.

"I feel really conflicted about Crystal, she's so insightful about other couples but has been really cruel and dismissive to her own partner, who actually seemed pretty ok. How can someone be like that? Feel v befuddled by her, one minute I hate her, then I'm going, Go Crystal!!"

I am not sure Leigh has done anything wrong, I mean she has been quite snappy and very jealous but she has a good heart. I have come round to her!

I definitely like Grace now, she is lovely.

Watched late due to work. Absolutely howled at Keye’s 6 figure salary claim. Not that I don’t believe him, I’m just wondering if he is a secret MNer 🤣

It's often the way with the women on this show that it takes a few weeks to "get" where they are coming from. Grace obviously was super anxious to start but is consistent and savvy, seems to get on with the group and not in it for the drama. Similar qualities to Crystal who has been constantly cold which has come across badly but she has been spot on with observations. I like these two a lot and think often women who come across well just know to smile and nod and do the fake air kisses (very like nodding dog Dean's approach) and people take them at face value as nice.

JR and Steven are deffo going to be at it next week. I reckon they've maybe even done something already which was why she was pretending she hadn't been sleeping with Div and Steven pulled away from Nelly. Maybe when they all went out drinking when Nelly was home and JR was privvy to the slobbery jobbery or whatever he called it.

a lot of that is Ash's effect on her, I think. She'd be funner with another.

Div and Nelly would be a much better pairing anyway. There should be public votes on couple swapping. All the 'but the ixperts matched us' crap means nowt given what insubstantial reasons the pairings are based on - they both like the colour green?.... lock it in!!!!!
