MAFS #15 NO SPOILERS. It's thread 15 and yet we are still going over the same things as we did in thread 1. Our walls are up. Our backs not being had. Disaster cakes are being served. Otters have been adopted. Crystals have been lost.

I can't be arsed. My back is up. I need you all to validate me. And move 500 miles for me and my salted caramel vodka.

Placemarking for later! Been too busy last ten days or so to watch in real time, but been watching on catchup, here for the tea later…

Cynically, I know it's mostly a pile of old toss. But am I really alone in finding the smiley miley couple sweet and hopeful and to have fingers crossed for them irl?

Nope, me too, it’s nice to see some happiness! There’s been more than enough toxicity this series…

I agree, they don’t make the most scintillating viewing but they do seem well matched and some people genuinely do fall in love that early and stay together happily ever after.
Nice to see people happy, especially when they haven’t trampled over anyone else go get there.

Such a weird programme, before ‘the intruders’ arrived , we hardly ever saw keye and davide apart from at the dinners etc .
I presumed it was because there wasn’t any drama with them so it wasn’t worth filming them (until Catgate) ,
it feels like we’ve seen way more of John and abi yet I feel I don’t know ANYTHING about them as people, other than she is a body builder.

i have no idea about John at all apart from yesterday when he said something about never having felt worthy of love before or similar, which was sad and touching but there was no context for me.

usually these shows really drill down into people’s personal pain, and heart wrenching stories. Maybe I just missed John and abi’s stories?

ive never watched uk mafs before but it does feel disjointed, as though they only filmed the dull bits and the engineered arguments and all the genuine incidents happen off camera and are just retold at dinners or on the sofa.

Abi was seeing a guy who turned out to have lied to her and was married.

No idea about John!

I reckon they may well end up one of those unicorn couples who stay together forever and never have a tiff. Ever.

Awww lucky them if it does happen (said through gritted teeth 😬 ) sometimes it happens.
Off to google John from mafs 🤣

opencecilgee · 12/11/2025 20:47

I’ve decided the best way to watch final vows is on catch up so i can skip the fluff. Just need to see if they walk off together or in opposite directions

boring and predictable so far

jyst interested in the reunion now. Fingers crossed JR is there. Joe unlikely to show his ugly mug

In response to myself: https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/tv-movies/married-at-first-sight/uk-john-age-job-from-instagram/

Am I using ‘myself’ appropriately? Or should it be ‘me’?

I tried to read an article on Wales Online about John and Abbie but the site is so glitchy, how do these news sites get away with it? It’s like trying to use the internet in 1998 !

Who is John from MAFS UK? Age, job, where he's from and Instagram revealed

Married At First Sight UK has welcomed new groom John to the experiment but who is he? Here's all the facts you need to know including what his business is.

Joe would be a very brave man to come anywhere near maeve now.
I realised recently Joe reminds me physically of someone I know in real life who is disingenuous and it’s made me see him differently to how I did originally, it’s put me right off him

Yes, usually there is a kind of checkbox - you know some relational anguish, familial backstory, something about where they live and why they are on the show. There's been a very obvious scattergun affect on how much we know about each person. When all you can say about someone is they used to work at Butlins or he has a daughter called Bluebell, it is a bit odd after so many episodes.

Is anyone else watching the Top Model ending where they are telling someone who looks like a size 10 that she is a "curvy model"? Woah.

I saw the end - none of those girls looked particularly stunning considering they’re trying for Top Model!

The Andrex puppy has visited the boys renewal ceremony (to chase off any cats?)

Bye bye Leisha. You are dumped.

I always loved the makeover episode of top model, the cruelty of cutting off a girls waist length hair or dying a blonde brunette and then axing them at the end of the episode. It was the worst.

murasaki · 12/11/2025 21:03

I bet he will say yes then run.

Done by the reunion.

IBorAlevels · 12/11/2025 21:04

Wow, shocker Reisha continues!

Pianoaholic · 12/11/2025 21:04

Quite surprised at that!

TinselAngel · 12/11/2025 21:04

As long as there’s a hole in my arse, he’s not going to travel to Scotland to see her.
