I agree that this show feels dated. Im pretty new to MAFS but compared to the last UK and Australia series, this is very tame.

RobynRB · Yesterday 14:58

dillite · Yesterday 10:13

What I am finding is that the show just feels very dated. Like we are watching something that was filmed in 2005 and not 2025. And also, there's no quitting, no manufactured drama, no dinner parties and beef, but we are still not really getting to know the couples and the snippets of the conversations that are being shown still give us very little of substance.

But, mama didn't raise a quitter. We have survived 2 weeks of it, what's another one to get it all over and done with.

Hate to break it to you.... but we've only been watching it for a week.

I know it feels like two.

Hahahahahahahahaa

RobynRB · Yesterday 14:59

And yeah, I agree, it does feel very old fashioned somehow.

I'm tempted to watch the Indian Traitors, but I will get this over with first.

What do you mean it has only been a week? Are you sure? I demand to see the receipts.

Steven Bartlett has created a post where he talks about how having a couple of glasses of wine ruined him for 3 days and he's getting absolutely roasted on Twitter! Reminded me of Danny's comment about how men used to fight in the trenches and now they're hiding in toilets. Anyhow I thought you would all appreciate this...

Wine has the same effect on me. I can drink a bottle of gin no problem, but a glass of pinot? Forget it. A 3 day hangover guaranteed.

Hardly any drinking to be done during this show.

No receipts
No blindsided (although I think I did hear one last night, but it was used by the blindsider in an apologetic way).
No ride or die
No I'm done
No leaving and coming back 5 mins later.

It's like they chose people who actually wanted to get married and build a relationship rather than people who wanted to be famous for five minutes and raise their media profile.

Or something.

I can't help thinking that showing this straight after that shit show of a series wasn't particularly smart, because it does come over a little dull. Plus it's hard to really root for any of them because they just don't seem that likeable.

But still, we battle on, whatever the cost may be...

No spiralling

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · Today 16:03

This sounds awful to admit to. But any MAFS Aus episodes I missed, I’d watch them on catch up. The American ones, I just can’t face it! I get a huge cringe factor here with them too (the pool chatting). MAFS Aus this year had better not be cancelled is all I can say.

RobynRB · Today 16:56

One thing about the American one, it's a wonder we can remember anything because they never recap ANYTHING! And isn't it weird how one minute they're bickering about how they bicker and the next the closing credits come up and it finishes. I really don't like that. I want a predictable format, that signals the end is coming.

Maybe that’s it. They don’t recap anything. And because it’s so boring we forget what they said last time.

I missed Friday’s episode - do I need to watch it?

Judging by this thread no. I’m not watching it. That’s an hour of my life I won’t get back.

RobynRB · Today 19:54

Who's here? Who's excited? What snacks have you all got?

RobynRB · Today 19:55

I have no snacks. But I've been stuffing my face all day so...

browneyes77 · Today 20:03

I am very very reluctantly here

Only because they’re moving in together and there may be some more drama from it.

I’m missing Springwatch for this.

Me too, had no idea it was on!

I doubt we missed much tbh

IAmKerplunk · Today 20:06

I’m here! Just in time for the ad break 🙄

IAmKerplunk · Today 20:07

Are they living in an apartment block or their own homes?

FuzzyPuffling · Today 20:08

Snack- handful of almonds.

This is possibly the only show where I look forward to the adverts.

I was trying to explain to my dc how good adverts used to be in the past and what a big deal they were. Not like the shit nowadays
