MAFSUK 2024

[wtfftw]

Oh I need to binge Celebrity Race tomorrow. I'm generally up to date on most as Big Brother starts soon and that's a large commitment of time.

 

[Voley]

I've been enjoying Race Across The World too. I like Jade Goody's lad and his Dad.

I like (Fields Mandem) Kola and Mary Ellen.

Saying that, they’re all OK.

 

[Looby]

Urgh, Kelly Brook is really winding me up.

The others are fine.
It sometimes feels like Jeff is a bit negative towards Freddie but I think his intentions are good.

 

[Saffy]

I'm obsessed with Caspar and Emma.

 

[Epona]

That posh couple, she just told him, good on her.

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm obsessed with Caspar and Emma.

Instead of going on this show, he should have gone into therapy to deal with his family issues. Clearly an angry, repressed man.

I can't imagine what he was thinking when he applied for this show.

 

[Epona]

Oh god Charlie and Eve (if I got their names right?) - Charlie really seems very immature bless her, she'd do well to just try to enjoy the fact she's on a nice holiday and do her own thing for a few days.
Despite first appearances and how well they got on in the first episode, they don't seem very well suited, alas.

 

[Epona]

In fairness, Eve's not coming across as being brilliantly mature in relationship/communication terms either, you can't just walk away from everything all the time.
I don't mean this in a game-playing sort of way because I can't stand that sort of thing, but I really do think it would have set things on a better path if when Eve said she wanted some space, Charlie had gone no worries love and booked herself on a 2 day cruise/excursion somewhere solo and just enjoyed herself doing something that is probably a once in a lifetime experience by herself, rather than sitting around feeling morose and pestering Eve for contact.
It's not like a 10 year relationship coming apart on the rocks after all.

(I do expect the terms and conditions and the production team make it so that can't happen though, which adds stress and boredom into the situation).

 

[May Kasahara]

I don't remember last series being this much of a car crash from the get-go. Great work, MAFS production team

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Difficult to know what's really going on with Eve and Charlie as its all so manipulated but pissing off and leaving Charlie on her own, sleeping in a different room, isn't coming across too well.

Kieron and Kristina are so loved up it's gorgeous. His response to her talking about PMDD was so good.

Can't say I'm warming to either Emma or Casper but that was bloody rough on her. Maybe they'll turn out just great if they can get past their expectations.

Nathan and Lacey seem....all right I guess but there's not a lot going on yet. They both seem quite sweet but ill-matched. They don't know what to say to each other bless 'em. I'm sure the ADHD doesn't help and they might really get along once they've learnt how to talk to each other.

Overall....casting seems better than the last couple.of MAFSUKs and I am fully engaged! Bring it on!

 

[Numbers]

I shouldn’t read these daily updates as we’re a day behind but I can’t help myself.

 

[Saffy]

I thought the chat between Keiran and Kristina was so lovely. They seem the best suited to one another. I have high hopes!

Lacey is trying so hard to get Nathan to share and open up. I think they're sweet too but they defo need some coaching.

Eve and Charley

 

[Looby]

Charlie was too full on but getting a different room after a tiny disagreement is silly. They won’t last.

Nathan reminds me a bit of Mr Looby in the way he really struggles to express himself but actually I think really wants to. That’s the only similarity though I’m happy to report.

Feel sad for Emma and Caspar. That felt like a really provocative and manipulative match by the ‘experts’.

Loving it all.

 

[Looby]

I should finish episodes before commenting.

I’d like to clarify that my husband has more emotional intelligence than ‘cool’ Nathan.

 

[wtfftw]

Am I remembering correctly that Casper's ask was someone "who looks good next to an aga"?

 

[Looby]

I don’t remember but it seems in character.

 

[Looby]

Do we (those that watch lots of crappo but wonderful TV) need a general reality show thread?

Not to keep everything in one place as I love individual threads but maybe to keep other less discussed shows off other threads? I could finally have somewhere to talk about Below Deck.

Just an idea but do say if it’s not a good one.

 

[Saffy]

I think you might be right Looby.
I bloody love Below Deck and was watching last night before MAFSUK.

 

[wtfftw]

I still haven't got round to below deck (where to start?). But yes, I watch a whole bunch of reality.

 

[Saffy]

I'll watch any Below Deck but the Mediterranean seasons with Captain Sandy are my favourite.

 

[Numbers]

Just getting ourselves set for an evening of CGD / MAFSUK / CRATW

I fucking love Below Deck.
I'm not into every reality TV show by a long shot, but that and First Dates are my guilty pleasures.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Oh bloody hell you people are convincing me that I need to watch Below Deck. I hate you for it

 

[Saffy]

He's a barber?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

He's a barber?

He's got those crazy teeth. Most of them seem to have crazy teeth. You could watch this show and think everyone in Britain has those bloody awful crazy teeth!

 

[smmudge]

What I got from CRATW final is apparently selling hot dogs in Santiago for half an hour is quite lucrative.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

CRATW??

 

[Epona]

Another bloke who's written off a woman within a few minutes purely based on her looks/body type - they've barely even spoken ffs.
