MAFS #12 NO SPOILERS. The mugs are getting muggier whilst farting dogs keep blindsighting us. Accountability is yet to be taken, and backs are not being had. The same old arguments are on repeat, self-relfection accountability and thrush galore.

@browneyes

"Well her VT did say she’s had loss of dates, situationships etc basically tried everything.
I can understand why none of those have worked out quite frankly"

I wonder why. Because I doubt that the Grace that we are seeing now is somehow new. Can you imagine dating someone this exhausting?

I caught up today after missing the last 3 and will watch tonight’s episode tomorrow. I think this is the worst series ever. I honestly think the UK MAFS has had its day. And yet I’m still watching for some reason.

StaySpicy · 29/10/2025 21:24

Thanks for the new thread!

Agree, I think we're seeing some of the reasons she's tried lots of things with not much success.

Frequentlyincorrectbut · 29/10/2025 21:24

The only reason Ash even tried with Grace was because she's very pretty and he fancied her. Now that's spoiled and he doesn't fancy her any more. If she was a bit plain and had behaved like that, it never would have got off the ground.

Like most of the men here, he was happy to flog a dead horse if he was getting his leg over (see Reiss, Leo, Divani).

It's us. We make it fun. The only reason we are on thread 12 is because we are chatting about paedo glasses, salted caramel vodkas, dog farts and just about anything that will make the season more tolerable.

People keep saying that she's pretty, but I am not seeing it at all. To me she's plain and dull looking.

Thanks for new thread! Love that my judgemental dog made the title! 😂

That’s true :0)

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 29/10/2025 21:28

And his farts do literally blindside me!

I came to this thread specifically to check if there was something wrong with me after listening to Grace & the ixperts, because I would have laughed at most of what Ash says!

Definitely. DH keeps saying it's all stage and stuff but I say it's the threads, enjoying the camaraderie and inside jokes. Staged, editing, fake, real... who cares as long as we're having fun here?!

CatAsstrophe · 29/10/2025 21:34

I'd have given up watching pre-departure of wannabe Eminem aka Fat Ass Dean had it not been for these threads.

I'm glad I'm not the one who thinks this series is the worst yet.

TheFinePrintess · 29/10/2025 21:36

I was on a delay so only just caught up.
so sad to see Ash finally broken by moaning myrtle, I hope the ixperts don’t lay into him tomorrow and make it all his fault…

TinselAngel · 29/10/2025 21:37

I started off 45 minutes behind and ended up only 15 minutes behind. I hope we don’t have to drag Grace and Ash out until the next commitment ceremony.

I am totally team Grace - Ash is a complete manipulator! He is treating her like a piece of meat and not caring about her feelings at all. He sees her as a possession.

QuickNameChange22 · 29/10/2025 22:26

Just catching up on last night's episode, I am genuinely stumped at how Grace could take offence at Ash's compliment? Ok so it wasn't the most romantic thing to say to your partner, and if she was in a rush and not in the mood I can get her annoyance at the pawing but I don't know how her brain leapt to "he could be talking about any woman"?!

I don't know what I'm missing here?! Me and DH are both sitting here stumped that no one is telling her to get a grip.

Also the whole "I need Ash to self reflect" please STOP 😐 I don't know how anyone could cope living with someone so tedious.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 29/10/2025 22:31

I'm not convinced Grace & Ashley are leaving yet.

DoYouReally · 29/10/2025 23:08

Do the experts know something about Ash that the viewers don't because they are so absolutely on Grace's side it's unreal?

I have a headache just listening to her. Ash must be about to lose the plot. She says he doesn't listen or take anything on board...she doesn't either!

Bailey's comments about Ash never stating anything blunt or nasty about her hols weight as he seems to be one of the most grounded people on the show.

Appalonia · 29/10/2025 23:09

I enjoyed the couple swap week partly because we saw them just doing normal things together, playing tennis, having breakfast in bed etc like we used to see in past series. We've not been given the chance to get to know pp so it's harder to get invested on them. And way too much time has been spent on the conflicts which have actually been pretty boring tbh.( and never get resolved )

FightingFish · 29/10/2025 23:31

Amazing that this qualifies as entertainment, apparently Grace is private and respectful but still felt the need to tell everyone about her thrush and Ash’s persuit of intercourse (again and again). TMI for me. I think I will bow out after this series.

I did love Nelly’s grey jumper that she wore in the morning, really suited her and looked better than all the dresses worn by dinner party attendees.

controversial opinion but I reckon John is one of those not too bright guys who bears the imprint of the last person who sat on him. As soon as they are ”outside” he will get distracted by his mates and other shiny toys, & it will all fizzle out…
