MAFSUK 2024

[Mrs Miggins]

Starts tonight. It's going to be awful.
Who's watching??

It's never as good as the Aussie one anyway and this year, I suspect most of the cast will be "influencers" rather than just people going on a dating show.

But still...I'll be watching!

 

[Voley]

It's the worst thing ever.

Almost certainly watching all of it.

 

[Voley]

Oh Lord. Remember this bloke?

 

[May Kasahara]

Even Mr K, a man whose productive habits and aversion to trash are coded into his DNA, cannot resist!

I meanwhile have SLOTH written through me like a stick of rock, of course I'll be watching

 

[kalidarkone]

I will start watching after the wedding phase. I can't bear that bit.

 

[kalidarkone]

Also I've realised I only ever need to watch 15 mins tops of each episode as the recaps are so frequent.

"Trash", May?

I think you've missed the point. As they're at pains to point out, it's 'an experiment.'

 

[kalidarkone]

I saw a trailer and a groom with prominent teeth seemed to be being slated by his bride at first meeting. I'm not sure I can stomach that.

 

[Saffy]

Present.

 

[Numbers]

Yep, we’ll be watching.

 

[wtfftw]

Long episodes innit? I need to clear some of my TV backlog.

Long episodes innit? I need to clear some of my TV backlog.

Despite that I can never remember their names. In our house they become:

Coercive Hippy In Touch With The Universe Massive Wanker Guy
Baguette Guy
Bloke That Only Likes Women Who've "Had Some Work Done"
Foot In Mouth Man
I Don't Want A Project, I Want A 10 Woman
Nice Couple We'd Genuinely Like To Get On.

Etc

What's MAFSUK?

What's MAFSUK?

Married at First Sight UK

 

[dessiato]

Married at First Sight UK

Not something I'll be watching then.

 

[kalidarkone]

What's MAFSUK?

I suggest strongly you don't go down this rabbit hole.

Imo people are on this show because they are nice but stupidly naive and do really hope they can find true love, but are also desperate to not be single.

Or

They are just total wanna be celebs and are giving their media/potential
celeb career/Instagram influencer career a massive boost via all the publicity that comes with it.

 

[Voley]

Not something I'll be watching then.

You're missing out.

It's a bold social experiment.

This is going to be tough with Celebs go dating still on, we're going to have to do a catch up once there's finished

 

[Numbers]

I read Chloe Burrows will be on it, can't remember where I seen it. She was on Love Island and recently on Celebrity Masterchef.

Chloe was matched with Toby on Love Island but they broke up some time ago now.

And I must admit to saying some of her lines from Love Island quite regularly like 'that is a vi - o - lation, that's very muggy'

 

[wtfftw]

so I just saw on reddit that the first episode is on all4 if anyone wants a head start.

We’ve put it on, have watched up to the first ad break.

Already feathers being ruffled

One of the womens voices is terribly annoying (e2a: only initially when she was excited, she’s lovely).

 

[starfish]

Ms starfish will watch it but i wont. I loathe this programme. Its "id do anything to get on TV" at its worst.

Wasn’t there a Terry Christian portion of “The Word” with that exact premise ?

There was indeed.

Eta, the only 2 i can recall are the granny snogger & someone licking a very sweaty & overweight mans belly button or armpit.

Was thinking the same when I read that but couldn’t remember.

It’s not what you think

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

Gets me in about 5 minutes. Great for insomnia

 

[moomoo]

beesonthewhatnow This looks GREAT!

 

[Numbers]

Totally hooked again after just the opener.
