The way those women are treated? I was worried I had been offensive to women in that category, when I only have sympathy for them being exploited and upset and think they're on a hiding to nothing going on the show.

I’m old and sturdy but have self respect and would never beg someone to fancy me, nor expect them to. Plenty people do 🤷🏼‍♀️But each to their own

He seems like someone who takes pride in being thin

Can't explain it but some men are like that

I might be wrong about this, but I have a feeling Steven isn't confident in himself sexually and is resorting to negging as a result.

Brook said she’s a girls girl. No way would she be friends with a ‘ fat girl’.

Girls girl my arse. Only exception would be the Gia types..

Shes probably also envious that she’s paired with Chris who’s a dud.

I think it’s likely to be Julia but could be Rebecca. Julia can’t cope if she isn’t in full control of the situation and Grayson has now called her out which she won’t like. Rachel is just moving out to get some space and isn’t quitting.

Julia may well say his ‘aggression’ crossed a boundary/dragged her chakras.

Oblivious to the fact the Dalai Lama would be raging after that.

Is it just me who actually doesn't think Danny is all that good-looking?

Yes, I agree. Unfortunately I think a lot of the women who go on the show are quite vulnerable and of course they're exactly the type of 'character' the producers are looking for.

SabrinaThwaite · 24/03/2026 21:59

I’m not sure Scott and Grayson, despite being ‘company owners’, are the sharpest tools in the box.

Although, Julia’s ridiculous questions would be enough to take the edge of anything.

How can you actually be a ‘charisma coach’ when you’re that fucking dull and up yourself?

Not just you. I would rate him last in the photo task.

It's so weird that something like that inquisition passes for intimacy in her world. And she gets paid to teach charisma?

What is Julia wearing

I think when she runs it will be away to join the circus. Last night's outfit gave clown vibes and tonight was a bit like a trapeze artist or horse rider

None of us think he's good looking

Ok I need to start watching live (and suffering the ads) instead of catch up because we’re already on DH’s PlayStation time, his reward for suffering MAFS.

If I watch on catch up I still get the ads as otherwise you pay

ruethewhirl · 24/03/2026 22:13

God, silver so-called fox is tedious/stuffy. He's entitled to want to go at his own pace, but he appears to have no interest whatsoever in appreciating Rebecca for the person she is. He's making her feel crappy about herself when she's actually too good for him (imo anyway). It's a shame, before he started to show his colours I had high hopes for those two.

He and Filip are like those long faced illustrations for fairy tale characters or Bayeux tapestry knights

How the fuck can you ‘coach’ charisma?

Although I am thinking about retraining as a gravitas coach, seems more marketable for gullible management wankers than charisma.

I have just caught up now. Nearly all the over 50s men have been like this..I would actually prefer to grow old alone than deal with these boring old codgers ( and I’m 50! )

This is probably the first MAFS where the majority of the women are doing my head in and i actually feel bad for the men

There's a reason why, when mature couples divorce, the women stay single and men go searching for a replacement. And that reason is "middle aged men".

I’m away and can’t get Ch4 on my phone. Can anyone post a link to SHVideo pls.

Aww that made me proper sad at the end

Me too

Right I have questions about prim and proper silver fox. He has four daughters are they from the same relationship or from up to four different ones? If the youngest is seven and he is 50 plus then that’s telling me that her mother must be quite abit younger than him? He’s not been honest about what he’s looking for right from the start and I don’t think he’s that much of a goody two shoes is he?

dotdotdotdash · 24/03/2026 22:47

It had better be Julia that leaves as Grayson is beginning to malfunction with the confusion and overwhelm; she really is a space cadet isn’t she? Girl’s girl tho bless her.

Nice of the silver weasel to wear his sexiest oatmeal quarterzip for intimacy night. And by the looks of how he spoke to Alessandra in tomorrow’s episode, it’s all women he treats like sh*t, not just the lovely Mrs Fox.

Brooke keeping Chris very much in the friend zone I notice.

OMGitsnotgood · 24/03/2026 22:48

Ophir · 24/03/2026 20:00

I think Silver Fox can’t get it up

Exactly what I’ve been thinking

murasaki · 24/03/2026 22:53

I am thoroughly looking forward to Alessandra calling him out.
