MAFS #14 NO SPOILERS. The end is near and as some will head to the final vows, others to their nearest STD clinic for illicit sex has taken place. Leisha has been taken for a ride, Essex style. Manic Grinners had their fancy dinners.

Ash turned out to be a creep. Ixperts are in disbelief.

I said that ages ago !

I feel a bit cheated with the show. It was slightly more exciting this week.
I think they should throw in an 5 extra dinner parties with the whole cast, plenty of wine, stirring up some drama.

Whoever you are Jeanette Aspey, you have won at The Internets!

They should do a veterans season where they have previous failed people matched with each other but the matches are voted for by the viewers and there’s no pretend wedding until the end.
It would be complete chaos if it was all the attention seekers but could be good if it was mostly the genuine ones.

I’d put JR with that horrific man that was with Holly last season- the pretend pilot Alex was it ?

Davide (I think his concerns tonight were spot on and they won’t last sadly) with Adrian from 2022

It’s too early for me to think of any more 🥴.

I've been screaming the same ... "Who is ever going to hire you again" ...

Hullah and Ratboy
Polpot and Deano
Gaston and Nelly

@NatalieNatalieNatalie I am as going to say Dean and Ella 👀

Yes, keep the two I never want to see again together so I can swerve 😅 Ella was into clubbing and rave lifestyle though wasn't she so Dean of Butlins fame with his magic might give her the ick.

Abi and John saying they had keys to each other’s flats was a claim too far for me. I can’t remember where they live, but unless it’s the same town what’s the point? If they have to travel for a visit, they’ll be expecting them anyway.

There’s never been any depth to their “relationship” either, it’s all been ohmygodwaitedforthisallmylife twaddle without any meaningful digging from anyone else. Where are the experts delving into the “intimacy” side, the questions about where they’ll live? The morning after bed heads?

Why has she never once appeared without full slap on? Last night’s episode, he came and sat at the breakfast table (her in full slap) and said “ good morning” as if he’d just rocked up for a cuppa. It just all feels really fake. Watch them kiss (if you have the stomach), there’s no passion or connection - just awkward smackers,

The thing that throws me with thinking it’s a set up is their parents taking part. They can’t all be actors - although her dad tucking into his grub and ignoring everything else was a moment.

Agree. I feel that if they are real they'll be the ones on the news who've stalked and killed each other if this all goes wrong. I also wondered if the huge lashes, brown tanlines and lip liner are to hide her real looks in case she is recognised as an actor from the local panto or something.

Every time we see them I get to make a longer post on the thread without missing anything though, so along with the advert breaks, they are serving a valid purpose on first watch. We should do Abi/John bingo with "best day ever" "waited my whole life" "never felt like this before" "finally found my person" etc on.

Re Abi and John and the keys thing: they've watched the last Mafs AU and they're basing themselves on Jeff and Rhi.

I’ve just re-round to the home stay, I missed an episode from over a week ago.

The one where Bailey visits Rebecca in Liverpool. She has a really nice looking house - I wonder how she afforded it on presumably her single salary?

I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to move to Brighton. She wouldn’t be able to get a nice house like that down there. Plus I think Brighton is over rated for what is it- a seaside town basically. Sorry “city “.

I can’t see it lasting if neither one is prepared to move.

I wonder if the blokes ever say you don’t need those eyelashes/massive lips/botox u are beautiful as you are? I wouldn’t beable to stop myself

Can someone send me a link to the previous thread please , number 13? I can’t seem to find it.

Ok thanks for that Everyme..

As for Bailey and Rebecca, I can’t see either of them moving.

I know it’s opposite ends of the country but Brighton to Liverpool isn’t the same as the UK to Australia.

Rebeccas mum said during home stays she wants her to be happy but happy here , meaning home.

Cant some parents let their adult children move away ? Families living in different parts of the UK really isn’t that uncommon.

While I thought she was a bit odd saying that, I can understand where she is coming from. Rebecca built that house from scratch to have a family in, near her family for support. Moving for a bloke she met a month or two ago is a bit of an unrealistic expectation.

Yes, she might be more reasonable towards a move following a LDR thats actually based on something more than 2 months in a TV show. Which is only sensible.

I don't think we're in the Ming family ' you must never step outside the boundaries of Walsall' territory here.

I think Rebecca would move if Bailey had an amazing house

💯 Becca has done very well for herself, the never ending stream of young women opting for filler.
It's extremely unregulated.
I wouldn't want my daughter to walk away from for her life.

Yes I think they are changing the regulations now, but too little too late in these specimens. She was wise to make hay while the sun shone.

I think Rebecca is a qualified nurse though so she'll be regulated by the NMC?

Experts are doing my nut in this series. That was not a bloody 'curveball' from Bailey, he's just being realistic about how things could be different in the real world. The whole lot of em want sacking, and I actually used to like Mel. She's turned into a sap.

They make me want to vomit. They have no depth to their conversations. (My DH just jokingly said to me why don't you speak about me like that? I said it's cos I'm dead inside 😂)
