Can we stop people going on reality shows where their entire traumatic back story is that they were fat once?

I agree. I'm still fat. Its the least traumatic thing that's ever happened to me.

murasaki · 31/03/2026 22:58

It's heartbreaking how well and fabulous she is looking this series. You really wouldn't have known.

He’s autistic

Very.

I cant even laugh, this is sad. He needs someone to teach him to mask, for his own sake. 😔😔

On the trailer for the next episode, did Tyson say he didn’t want a slothful wife?

I couldn’t get subtitles up so could well be mistaken.

I don’t know. He was happy to act the muppet shouting across the wedding room to ask Joel about previous relationships after Gia’s goading. I think they’re both thick.

He did. It felt like he wanted to be a 'cool kid' just like Gia. Except she's not cool. Behind closed doors she will probably say 'why didn't you speak up, you are such a weak man'. I might be overthinkihg this, but i definitely think he is trying to act according to what he thinks Gia wants to see.

Given the shitstorm that’s happened on previous shows with contestants showing controlling, coercive and abusive behaviour and being removed.

There’s literally a guy waving ALL the red flags, and they’re like “yeah we’ve got someone for him”.

And of all the people to match him with, she apparently has zero experience of learning to take no shit from men assert her boundaries in a relationship.

I'm still curious as to why Paul wasn't mentioned on the announcement re mel's passing

Charlene was thanked, as well as the aus judges, but not Paul

Whatever he did, i'm team mel ❤️

Whats this about? What did I miss?

Mel's husband made a lovely social media post thanking and naming all the mafs colleagues who'd spent time with her in the last weeks. Everyone was named apart from Paul.

Yes, it's really not good. It sounds like they heard the trump thing and said 'lock it in without noticing she has a career and wants to keep it, doesn't want to be chained to a sink, and doesn't want 5 kids. All of which are somewhat more important.

I hadn't even realised he wasn't mentioned. Interesting. He made an Instagram post, but the vibe was off and it didn't seem as heartfelt as he maybe tried to sound.

Villanousvillans · 31/03/2026 23:19

Tyson has a babiy’s head on a man’s body.

Paul is shitty about calling out bad behaviour, while hiding in the poncho of doom.

I suspect Mel didn't have a lot of time for him off camera.

What does poncho of doom mean?

Now you said, only john and Mel come to mind immediately about calling people out and talking straight.

I like Paul but don't know what he stands for.

Denim4ever · 31/03/2026 23:28

Gia's job is as a disability support worker. I do find this hard to picture. Plus how does she afford the plastic surgery

In a 'Hot Felon' kind of way. Then he opens his mouth and every part of my body dries up and runs away.

100%

He is a weak as fuck

I wonder if his mum left the family, for her own safety, and its just the men - kind of like Joel from eastenders

His brother is probably jealous because he is more handsome and decided to ruin his life

Paul rocks up to the commitment ceremonies quite often in a bad poncho. It's not a good look for him.

It was evident there was no mum there, and no female friends at all. Says a lot.

100%. Very telling there’s no mum, auntie, sister etc to challenge that nonsense.

And the ex obvs ran for the hills once she’d sampled the grim reality of him.

She mentioned she’d previously had a ‘sugar daddy’ 😶

I reckon Joel's mum tries to protect him and look after him tbh - she isnt to blame for his behaviour

He needs looking after - he is tall and handsome which means this personality of his is unacceptable

Hes got to learn to mask until he is around safe people 🥺

Totally disagree. She clearly has very skewed boundaries and is partly responsible for how he is coming across. He has been spoiled rotten, and needs a short sharp shock.

If he masks it's not really him. And nobody should have to be his safe person necessarily, relationships are a two way street. The current him needs therapy and time away from his mother. I'm not convinced he's autistic, just infantilised to a massive degree and constantly told he's hilarious.

Edited as autocorrect seemed to think infanticide was more appropriate than infantilised. Odd.

Joel if you are reading this it's "learn to mask" not "behave like the mask" please put those jim carey/borat vibes in the bin!
