MAFS AUS#8. No Spoilers. We are girls girls but if it’s ‘ride or die’ some of these girls are not worth the ride…

That was soooooooooooooo disappointing. There’s something about this whole series that feels funny to me. I usually love MAFS Auz but this series is not doing it for me. I feel like there is something off or too contrived. I watched this one late, so maybe I’m tired but there were huge holes in the accountability blanket. Pastatits got off unscathed, after her cheap apology. What a load of horse hockey!!!! Ice Model should have been chained to that sofa and pelted with Auzzie bin chicken shit and someone needs to tell Nutnut to lay off the sauce permanently!

@BippidyBoppetyno her saying ‘get me my phone’ was definitely in this CC but weirdly only shown on last Thursdays trailer.

"I loved that no one responded to the apologies or made it easy for them."

Yes, me too. Very strong and classy.

I have been mentally conditioned to accept apologies but Stella was right, an apology without change is worth nothing. Or words to that affect.

Pinkfluffypencilcase · 30/03/2026 23:59

I couldn’t keep up and watch.
Brookes a coward.

Must be freezing in there. I saw John’s hot water bottle first then Chris with one on his lap.

Italiangreyhound · 31/03/2026 00:00

I have said before that I am a terrible judge of character but I do feel slightly sorry Steve's situation. He doesn't fancy Rebecca and she has proven herself to be absolutely horrible. If someone were matched with me, who is didn't fancy, or get on with, I absolutely wouldn't want them to dress up sexy for me!

Victoriawould24 · 31/03/2026 00:01

I really disliked Rebecca so much tonight, even down to her hair- it’s so nuts how your opinion can change.
I hope she has been held accountable for her collusion with the bullying on the socials.
I thought she looked stunning at her wedding and was really rooting for her and her lovely son.

Imagine meeting Brook IRL like she moves in next door or your kids are in the same class one day, you honestly wouldn’t go near her and so on some levels it must be life changing.
She might for the rest of her life be thinking ‘did you see me on MAFS’.
I think for that reason on some fucked up level her email to producers is right, not about if she was too ‘intoxicated’ to be responsible for her actions (bullshit) but in enabling and platforming such viscous and ugly behaviour for entertainment they have to take some responsibility surely.
People could end up properly fucked up from the exposure even if they are vile.

I can’t get my head around why she applied for the show, who would perform like that just for screen time, she must have thought viewers would be backing her.

Victoriawould24 · 31/03/2026 00:03

@Italiangreyhoundcompletly agree.

You are very observate!

I loved Brook's dress. But she is a total bitch!

I genuinely don't know what Danny said. But it doesn't matter really because I don't think she is his type and there could be all kinds of explanations for what was actually said!

Paul2023 · 31/03/2026 00:07

I can’t believe that Brook and Gia think it’s a good idea to behave like that with no consequences.
Surely they know how things work on tv, teh internet. Their behaviour will be available forever on the internet.

If people behaved like this in the UK, I’d find it hard to believe that any decent employer would give someone a job. It’s very common nowadays for employers to do social media or google searches on candidates.

Italiangreyhound · 31/03/2026 00:24

Just remember MAFS is master manipulation. Otherwise, why would Brook have been allowed back. It was very staged but still 100% unacceptable behaviour.

JaneJeffer · 31/03/2026 00:36

I think Brooke only went on to make her ex jealous.

Rachel sounded pissed at the CC

I only noticed because John stood up when they were waiting for Brooke.

Watched late again.

Alissa & David: Heads held high. Still can’t forgive kneegate.

Grey Weasel & Mrs Fox: About time. Fab in green swan song dress, but has a nasty streak (laughing with teenage bullies), which (TBF) may’ve put him off behind closed doors. Alessandra willing to finish off her voice to observe he remains an arrogant, insincere, charmless twerp.

HeeHaw & Boatie: He’s just not into her. And she shouldn’t be into him. Clinging to each other in a sea of madness.

RomCom & Farmer: “She’s a pink toothbrush, he’s a blue toothbrush…”. Though not Mel Pink 🩷. Not buying the screeching 180.

Charisma & Labradoodle: She’s kissed him? Hilarious Scooby looks from him throughout. Maybe startled by the lightning? Or perhaps someone off-set kept shouting ‘Walkies’?

Knob Nose & Scott: Classic DARVO. Self-sabotage? Really? Not simply mean? And worse when pissed. He finally found his voice. Should’ve used it to call out Weasel about the flag sesh.

Habsburg & Bec: A lot to unpack. Three times a gaslighter (DP, apartment and couch). Ride or Die nonsense 🙄. Smart money says he said it [Gia swore on DD’s life - would she really go that far to double down on a lie?]. But knows Gia and Brook were only ones to hear (his words) and are so discredited (his words) he’ll pull it off. Bec reduced to a blubbering wreck because he’s twisting her melon. Whatever, she’s way too fragile for this shit show and not good on the sauce. And if you swim with sharks, don’t bleed 🤷‍♀️.

Stella & Filip Felop: High praise from Big John. 100% warranted. Correct to call out apologies, without behaviour change, as worthless. Why does he look so grey when he’s so into fitness?

Brook & Cynical Chris: Be gone, the both of you! If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the dinner party Mel’s kitchen. Shameless coward, bolting with off Mel’s words ringing in her ears for eternity. Though I fear, like Freddy Krueger, she’ll be back.

Mel stunning in pink 💖. So vibrant and strong 😭😭

Ok I caved and went digging on Instagram. I won’t share any of my findings here, other than can we talk about Brook’s profile photo?!? What the HELLY?

This a photo of Pauline Hanson. An Australian politician. Not sure why it’s her profile pic.

Empress13 · 31/03/2026 02:20

How satisfying was it to see Chris crushed after his vile comments about women and the ixperts at the start! Serves him bloody right. I do believe Gia as she swore on her daughter’s life he said it something I don’t think she would have done on national TV if it wasn’t true. Reckon Bitch Brook’s modelling career is over who’d touch her after this fiasco! I do think Bec was a tad dramatic she’s literally known the guy 5 mins I think she’s in it just for marrying sake and anyone would have done. Think Rebecca was also bitchy she was proper smirking when the witches were laying into the girls had a mean vibe about her

Italiangreyhound · 31/03/2026 02:26

Ride or die is the new I've got your back!

Paul2023 · 30/03/2026 21:18

If Brook leaves , wouldn’t it be good if everyone ignores Gia and ostracises her ?

This is what needs to happen. With Brook and Rebecca gone and Mel seeming to wake up, she has no buddies. She was so fake last night. In the chat at the apartment there was no mention of regret and apology . It was only on the sofa when Bec started it that she knew she was going to be crucified and that she decided to and then Brook felt the need to as well. Absolute piece of work. Pretty sure Scott is starting to see the light also. As for Brook and Chris- good riddance.
As for Danny I did believe him until last night-he looked so shifty and no mother swears on their child’s life unless it’s the truth.----

dillite · 31/03/2026 07:29

In my experience, those that swear on someone's life, a child's, mum's, nan's, their favourite bean soup, are 100% lying and think that by swearing on a life will mean that they won't be held accountable for their shit. It's a getout tactic.

I could never do that and I am not the most superstitious person. Danny just looked like he was lying last night. Just his facial cues and body language. Why didn’t he say what he said im his audition? He said he likes natural girls. If he was innocent he would have protested much more.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 31/03/2026 08:27

What a cop out last night. It feels so staged, nobody has ever got up to use the bathroom in a CC before.

Maybe Danny was lying in his audition tape.

Well we haven’t seen anyone go to use the bathroom before but don’t participants say these things take ages to film so there must be bathroom breaks and tea breaks given to them?

I think the scene showed that Brook didn’t get worked up and flounce, she just said she needed a bathroom break and then flatly refused to continue. Tactically removed herself from being forced to face up to her actions And hear some hard truths from the ixperts. Which is cowardly. When Chris realised she was gone he didn’t want the humiliation of being on the couch alone so left too.

Some men like to say that they like 'natural girls' but this changes depending on what type of relationship they want. A bit like the madonna/whore rubbish. They would like to marry a 'natural' woman but for a fun shag, they go for another type.

I believe willy nosed Gia. I think long face flirted with Gia on the hope that he could have a quick shag with her after the programme finished.

There is something very manipulate about Danny. You could see him smirking trying to make Bec the guilty one. And Bec, so desperate, believed his crap being manipulated by him!

landlordhell · 31/03/2026 08:44

Yeah what they mean is the natural look that we know takes a lot to pull off and is anything but natural.
