People do just leave and they do get to write Leave every week.

I think the idea behind staying is just giving the idea of marriage a go - a relationship you can’t just say you’ve had enough of. It’s a different mindset to dating or even a serious relationship.

I agree that some of the matching is ropey. They should also address the issue that larger ladies and dorky guys are a possibility in the experiment. Both groups get a hard time of MAFS.

Yeah but if one writes leave they both have to stay for another week until both can leave. And apparently production speak to couples separately to persuade them to stay. That could be emotionally manipulative.

Rachel and Steve don’t look right together. She looks like his mum.

Totally agree. And she's already effectively given him a spit wash when she got lipstick on him. Totally mum vibes.

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain I agree, Stevo seems like a nice bloke who has no doubt got plenty of friends (who may have ribbed him for being single for so long and egged him on to do this). I just can't fathom why they put him with Rachel. It feels to me like he is walking on eggshells the whole time for the sake of the ixpirimint, maybe thinking that bending himself out of shape is what he has to do if he wants a successful relationship, which is terrible 'advice' for anyone.

Exactly. Poor guy.

Bird talk. I think I saw some speckled dark smallish birds today when out. What are they? I have house martins nesting in space below eaves of house. Local cats try to get them (they can’t!). It’s too high for the cats to climb to.

Now I’ve read this I can’t unsee it. Brain bleach needed.

I think I do too. The woman is a dreadful liar and twisted.

I’m sure his blinking is contact lens related more than anything, and not a cue for fibs. I also think he’s very concerned about how he is portrayed, so some of his reactions are possibly controlled to the point it doesn’t look genuine.

I do think Aussies and some of the general public don’t get his sense of humour. Which is quite dry and maybe a bit dark.

Placemarking for later! Had a bit of a traumatic weekend as the infamous cat had some sort of incident- not sure if he ate something poisonous or had a run in with something. Thought he was a goner, but he seems to be recovering (after iv fluids, activated charcoal, blood tests....) Hes still hiding away a bit, but im hoping he might be lured downstairs to come and sneer at MAFS...

murasaki · 27/04/2026 18:44

Glad he's ok and I hope the vet bill wasn't too traumatic.

Pianoaholic · 27/04/2026 18:46

Glad your cat is OK @ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs

dapsnotplimsolls · 27/04/2026 18:47

Blimey, I'm sure he can be tempted to have Opinions.

Appalonia · 27/04/2026 18:51

Gosh, our pets are such a worry, aren't they? Glad he's ok.

So, if you like actual romance rather than toxic drama, I highly recommend the film You Me and Tuscany that I saw today at the cinema. It's really sweet and starts the gorgeous RegeJean Page. And is set in the equally gorgeous Tuscany!😁

Wow! Poor cat. Hope he’s ok. My old half Siamese cat bit into a flower one day and a vet visit was needed, but only antibiotics not IV drip.

Is that for the cat or one of the contestants?

Here’s an Egret.

I am starting to rEgret watching this series but, having invested / wasted so much time on it, I feel compelled to keep going till final vows. Not sure if Gia feels the same…

I love how he’s all windswept!!

You didn't want to admit that, or I'll be asking you about mad cat's psychological issues......

Their psychology is beyond me, even after all these years in practice 🤣

Of course she's in full victim mode already. Lying cow.

As a vet, which contestant would you think should be neutered?
