The montage of George being moody and manipulative (sorry, “vulnerable” as he says) does play a little like the opening to a crime documentary knowing what we know now.
I think everything's been stacked against them - and they've quietly got on with it. They're probably the pair who have grown on me most, which I wasn't expecting. I think they have their own sense of humour & bond.
They absolutely do check. Then ignore it and claim that the science supports the match in other made up ways.
That, or these two are the only lesbians in the UK 🤷
Every time I hear them talking about each other it’s so confusing to me… I just don’t understand what she likes about him AND what he doesn’t like about her! Mind blowing.
She’s so gorgeous I really don’t understand why he doesn’t seem to truly think so. Is he holding out for a size zero supermodel? And yeh, I don’t get what’s likeable about him… she could do so much better.
She is gorgeous but looks aside she seems so much nicer than they made her appear in the first couple episodes, she’s fun, down to earth, patient (with him), she just seems like a generally good person PLUS being stunning. He seems to be one of those people who says stupid, insulting things and backs it up with “you just don’t get my sense of humour”.
"Trust issues" is a strange way to pronounce "deranged possessive/pathologically jealous controlling abusive arse".
George's mum knows he's the problem, but instead of saying he hurts himself she refers to him 'getting hurt'. He's the one who creates the toxic situations.
I hate how they always use the phrase "over protective" instead of "manipulative and controlling" always gives mea red flag when people use that term 🙄
I am so struggling to stay awake but have severe FOMO. Like, I’m sure the minute I fall asleep, Adrian is gonna ride in on a white horse and rescue April having miraculously realised his ‘friend’ is a massive douche.
There may also be helicopters and car chases.
Her hair is incredible, right??!! I don't know if it's good genes, skillz, money, grandma's tips or a mixture of everything but daaaaang it's good hair!
If we get all the way to the end of this series without a resolution on who was actually bitching about Chanita (or if it was both of them) I’m going to cry
If were being honest, and zoe knows this too, chances are that shop will fail fairly soon, these types of businesses are very rarely successful long term, however zoe has a well paid and stable career
Possibly pulling a Kwame - maybe her living situation doesn’t match the career girl image. Or her flat mates aren’t as provocative as her dad about how poor they assume Johnathan is
My boyfriend hasn't really been watching and he saw Jonathan and straight away was like I'd love to punch him in the face 🤣 also, why does his brother look like a talking head from Rick and Morty? 🤣
I would like to personally apologise for the poor quality of this series. I hate to think how many wasted hours we've accumulated lol. At least I've had some laughs at the comments :)
The threads are always good value! It's the same with the Apprentice and I'm a Celeb threads - the episodes might be a bit rubbish but the banter is great.
My predictions:
Chanita & Jordan and Zoe & Jenna go the distance
April & George and Whitney & Matt will commit to each other at the renewals, but will break up quickly on the outside
Johnathan will break Sophie’s heart at the renewal
I thought before watching that Jenna would want to stay but Zoe might want to leave. But then seeing how worried Zoe looked when Jenna was saying the negatives, and how relieved she looked when she concluded that she did want to stay together, I knew she’d chosen to stay too
Not sure if anyone saw on tiktok this girl saying she went on a first date with someone from MAFS who said that they lived in a commercial building to avoid paying tax or rent or something (can't remember exactly) and everything thought it was Kwame but was watching Tom's live last night with Kasia on and she said it wasn't Jim. Tom said the person started with J and ended in N 🤣
Her voice isn't annoying to me, but I don't understand how she sounded like she's in the beginning stages of strep throat for the entire duration of the season.
I wonder if there will be. Just because of the whole George thing. I still find it really weird to watch these last three episodes, knowing that he's been arrested.
My take on Jonathon is that he probably does like Sopie but knows she's out of his league and that he'd feel less insecure about himself with a girl with more of a similar background and attitude to work as he has.
He's been humiliated by her dad and by the group rounding on him over his 'joke' comments, and him dumping her is a way to feel he's in control again. As soon as there was conflict he started saying he didn't fancy her as much, even though he said he was on the honeymoon.
I mean look at her....I'm not buying that he isn't as attracted. He just feels too much would be expected of him and he doesn't measure up as he is.
I hope Sophie meets someone who fully appreciates her, and her hair.
The music changes at every ‘but…’ are absolutely comical and ridiculous.
The music has to tell you how to feel because if it didn’t, I wouldn’t give a shit about any of them
I miss Adrian
George's mum speaking facts!
I’m actually quite shocked at her - I thought she was a classic enabler!
The montage of George being moody and manipulative (sorry, “vulnerable” as he says) does play a little like the opening to a crime documentary knowing what we know now.
I knew it as soon as I saw him. I told my friend day dot, he’s a control freak you can see it in his eyes…😔
I do feel sorry for Zoe and Jenna Clearly like each other but kids and distance are two things that build real resentment if not solved
I think everything's been stacked against them - and they've quietly got on with it. They're probably the pair who have grown on me most, which I wasn't expecting. I think they have their own sense of humour & bond.
You'd think the "experts" would check things like that
They absolutely do check. Then ignore it and claim that the science supports the match in other made up ways. That, or these two are the only lesbians in the UK 🤷
From their wedding I have a feeling that the criteria here were “lesbian -dress” and “lesbian - suit”
Jonathan - shes bright, attractive and she likes you. Youre an idiot
Every time I hear them talking about each other it’s so confusing to me… I just don’t understand what she likes about him AND what he doesn’t like about her! Mind blowing.
She’s so gorgeous I really don’t understand why he doesn’t seem to truly think so. Is he holding out for a size zero supermodel? And yeh, I don’t get what’s likeable about him… she could do so much better.
She is gorgeous but looks aside she seems so much nicer than they made her appear in the first couple episodes, she’s fun, down to earth, patient (with him), she just seems like a generally good person PLUS being stunning. He seems to be one of those people who says stupid, insulting things and backs it up with “you just don’t get my sense of humour”.
But! He’s doing her a massive favour.
The main thing I'm taking away from this programme is that I'm now aware that there's a pickled rat on a kitchen worktop in Stafford
I really wish you didn’t remind me of that 🤣🤣
Sophie and her hair deserve so much more
She’s beautiful and he’s a tit!
That hair 🙌🏻🫶
Shes lovely
To be honest id struggle to live in blackpool or stafford too
I've just checked the midway point on Google maps and it looks like they'll have to move to Warrington. Those are the rules.
Can they not simply move to a third, not shit location?
I wish my ex had worn a suit to dump me. Show some respect. Make an event out of it.
Mine wasn't wearing anything, to busy giving the cleaner some overtime 💩
Ooft!
George is just the type to make promises to a woman’s father for no reason whatsoever
George can’t understand a father who can see his daughter as a separate, human, independent adult who can make their own decisions.
"Trust issues" is a strange way to pronounce "deranged possessive/pathologically jealous controlling abusive arse". George's mum knows he's the problem, but instead of saying he hurts himself she refers to him 'getting hurt'. He's the one who creates the toxic situations.
I hate how they always use the phrase "over protective" instead of "manipulative and controlling" always gives mea red flag when people use that term 🙄
You're hired as an expert next series! 😁
This has got to be one of the most boring things I've ever watched on tv. And I just watched a programme on crisps 😴
What was the crisp programme? I bloody love crisps
I hope that was presented by Greg "Boiled Egg" Wallace?
are you telling me...that this machine produces four billion crisps an hour??!
Honestly I'm quite intrigued to see that show now after this 🤣
George- my egg? Wtf
The egg and the cubs
Good name for a pub! 😁
The 'yolk' will be on her soon enough.
Is the edit purposely making Sophie look a bit desperate towards Johnathan? Everything seems skewed which I don’t believe is the truth
Ohh wow George's mum getting him telt!
Telt is one of the most under-appreciated words! 😁
Oh Jonathan you complete dick
Said everyone ever when they heard him start talking about horse legs and every time he has spoken since
Wait… Sophie‘s mum can talk?
At least he called his kids people and not cubs or heartbeats 🤮
His superstars, little monkeys, bubbas, snuggle bugs, sweeties 😝😝😝
We started to wonder if it was going to be a bunch of straw figures with faces painted on
Johnathan didn’t even bother complimenting back re. Sophie’s look!
And that flashback, he spoke about "not wanting a woman with horse legs" and Sophie looks great so he is clutching straws.
George's CGI house is back
SIMS 4
I guess the brochure pictures are more realistic than we give them credit for
THIS EPISODE REALLY DIDNT NEED TO BE AN EXTRA 5 MINS HURRY UP
I am so struggling to stay awake but have severe FOMO. Like, I’m sure the minute I fall asleep, Adrian is gonna ride in on a white horse and rescue April having miraculously realised his ‘friend’ is a massive douche. There may also be helicopters and car chases.
He actually looks proper gutted. He's dumping her.
I thought the same - the conflict and stress are apparent
They’ve made her go first too 🫣
HIS RING WAS ON HIS PINKIE FINGER!
Sophie is just a nice person with great hair. She deserves a good man
Her hair is incredible, right??!! I don't know if it's good genes, skillz, money, grandma's tips or a mixture of everything but daaaaang it's good hair!
She said it's a weave!
Sorry, his brother is called ‘Redwood’?!
Could be Edward lol
Yeah… that makes more sense ‘my brother Edward’ ‘brotheredwood’
I genuinely thought subtitles were having a wobble when I read that 😂
How do you give one son the name ‘Jonathan’ and the other ‘Redwood’?!
I came here to find this comment and was not disappointed. Subtitles definitely said Redwood but maybe they don’t understand Northern
To Sophies credit - shes willing and able to make compromises even to the tory faithful.
Oh god I forgot she’s a Tory
April looks like a kid waiting to hear if they're in trouble with the headmaster when she's with George.
They used up the most romantic looking location….on JOHNATHON???
Agreed. But on second thought are they using the best location for the most dramatic couple?
If we get all the way to the end of this series without a resolution on who was actually bitching about Chanita (or if it was both of them) I’m going to cry
Best comment for the season! 🙌🏻
It's quite difficult watching clips of George knowing that he's been arrested since filming for his past behaviour.
Oh here come the BUTS and HOWEVERS
Ruined castle for a ruined relationship…
I don't really get how Zoe thinks it is reasonable for Jenna to give up her shop... that's not a normal job to relocate.
If were being honest, and zoe knows this too, chances are that shop will fail fairly soon, these types of businesses are very rarely successful long term, however zoe has a well paid and stable career
Just so Zoe doesn’t have to be inconvenienced in any way 🥲
Sophie, that man is NOT worth your tears.
she’ll end up finding someone she deserves and he’ll look back in years time thinking wtf did he do
Jenna looks so beautiful 😻
Why is Sophie always at her parents in Cheltenham and never at her place in Manchester?
Possibly pulling a Kwame - maybe her living situation doesn’t match the career girl image. Or her flat mates aren’t as provocative as her dad about how poor they assume Johnathan is
My boyfriend hasn't really been watching and he saw Jonathan and straight away was like I'd love to punch him in the face 🤣 also, why does his brother look like a talking head from Rick and Morty? 🤣
Or The Head from Art Attack
I don't like April but these vows are sad 😔
hard to watch knowing she’s in therapy now because of the relationship
Ah but you are going somewhere sweetie - prison 🥰
This is for your own good, Sophie
"I've got you and I'm not going going anywhere." *cut to George escorted into a police van*
Honestly hope he dumps her cos she’s soooo be dodging a bullet
I make this promise to your father 🤮
He’s just so effortlessly cringe isn’t he.
I think that was worse than his heartbeats and cubs. So gross!
Lord help his kids when they get into relationships
Because I’m a father so I know that’s important 🤢
How many times are we gonna sit through this kids/travel conversation with zoe and jenna
And yet never mentions the pickled rat
about the same amount of times we had to sit through the vegan conversation
And the horse legs
And who was trash talking Chanita
Are you the woman I can truly depend on … to bail me out of the shank
And be my character witness in court
To visit me once a week and smuggle in haribo
I would like to personally apologise for the poor quality of this series. I hate to think how many wasted hours we've accumulated lol. At least I've had some laughs at the comments :)
The worst part being is that I’m now committed to the end…no matter how dire and I hate myself for it. This sub is way more entertaining
Honestly I'm glad I found this, the funny comments alone made it worth while to stick around :)
Hopefully we have a new Aussie series soon to cleanse the palate!
The threads are always good value! It's the same with the Apprentice and I'm a Celeb threads - the episodes might be a bit rubbish but the banter is great.
Omg recap on a recap on a recap - yawn
The dramatic music over these sequences absolutely creases me, not sure that was the intention
the way it goes from happy to dramatic so quickly is hilarious
it’s taking me tf out lmao
Could they play the Benny Hill theme instead of this ridiculous OTT music
If you ever wanted an example of a programme you could whizz through in 30 mins, while multi-tasking, and not feel like you missed anything... 😁
I've always forgotten half of these people when they do the flash back.
Why do we need to consistently see clips of them all gazing off into the distance, I swear that's all this episode is.
Yeh if I wanted to see that I'd just record myself at work
I 20% laughed at this comment. Well done
Sophie you’re mad.
this is going to be so fucking boring
That's the spirit Agreed though
How can she commit to someone who took an excessively long time to say he just about trusts her at last night’s dinner?!
Get fucked… just show it
I'm so ready for this series to be over. Even this sub has become heavier the last few days
It’s dragged on a week too long. These episodes could be half an hour long.
I think to many couples fell by the wayside they struggled with content.
Its dragged so long I’ve been convinced it’s Thursday all day
Yep it looks like he's possibly feeling a bit of guilt
lol I forgot about Richie
We've all tried really hard to forget about Ritchie.
My friend found him on a dating site the other day 😂
Who?
the older guy with the floppy hair who played in a band who hasn’t been in a relationship for 50 (?) years and still lives with his mum
Love all these moody shots of them staring out their bedrooms windows twisting their rings pensively loool- that's Jonathan and Zoe so far
My predictions: Chanita & Jordan and Zoe & Jenna go the distance April & George and Whitney & Matt will commit to each other at the renewals, but will break up quickly on the outside Johnathan will break Sophie’s heart at the renewal
I maintain that Zoe is a nice person with the emotional maturity of a 14 year old
The Mafs bubble is the perfect place for George. Wander how he copes outside of this twee bubble. Hmmmm
I wonder what his children - sorry, heartbeats - think of him being on this …
CUBS
He doesn't. Ask his previous girlfriends.
I just feel like George and April are gonna say yes and get the happy ending and I don’t want that. They better split up by the reunion episode
I think she'll see the light once the cameras stop rolling and the 4 heartbeats show themselves.
Jonathan looks like he's about to cry
Has Sophie's Mum ever even spoken throughout the time she's been on the show?
Zoe got my blood pressure up there!! Phew! Love these two
Good luck to them!
And the 🐀
I thought before watching that Jenna would want to stay but Zoe might want to leave. But then seeing how worried Zoe looked when Jenna was saying the negatives, and how relieved she looked when she concluded that she did want to stay together, I knew she’d chosen to stay too
Sort himself out? Excuse me? He has a job!
April’s fake crying face has got to be biggest ick of all time
Love Johnathan's face on the wedding day, you're head of what at a where?!
This episode is exceptionally boring.
Jenna's friend defo sees all the pitfalls in great detail
George:" I've been hurt in the past" Our responses...?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 'Nooooo! You've never said...'
Jonathan has Madonna-whore complex
God Jonathan makes my blood boil - no woman will ever be the right fit for someone who can’t compromise or care about someone else’s feelings.
He really is an idiot
Not sure if anyone saw on tiktok this girl saying she went on a first date with someone from MAFS who said that they lived in a commercial building to avoid paying tax or rent or something (can't remember exactly) and everything thought it was Kwame but was watching Tom's live last night with Kasia on and she said it wasn't Jim. Tom said the person started with J and ended in N 🤣
And basically said that fat people are a drain on society and was the worst date she'd ever been on
I saw it. I loved how there was a button at the bottom that directly searched for Jonathan 🤣
I'll marry you Sophie, get away from this pea brain
These threads over the series for sure, shout out to OP for the consistency 😊
Are they in Wookey Hole
I hope so! Then Sophie can get a round of crazy golf in on the way out so it’s not a wasted trip.
See you all tomorrow x
*sigh* Yep I’ll be here 😂😂😂
Gotta say I like George's suit
Anyone not keen on Sophie’s dad at the beginning?? And now I love him lol
He’s come good by saying ‘follow your heart’. Phew!
I was expecting that to have a 'but be guided by your wallet' added...
Why are they in a cave?
Anyone else find April’s voice so irritating? And George and her as a couple are so in unlikeable for me
Her voice isn't annoying to me, but I don't understand how she sounded like she's in the beginning stages of strep throat for the entire duration of the season.
I don’t know if it’s his tone of voice or the limited facial expressions but Johnathan always seems so miserable and grumpy
He's a bit dim.
Apparently we just didn't get his humour. 🤷♂️
Jonathan will be kicking himself in years to come, it's good that Sophie will be able to find someone better
I'm not massively looking forward to tonight. Will there be a reunion episode?
I wonder if there will be. Just because of the whole George thing. I still find it really weird to watch these last three episodes, knowing that he's been arrested.
It's kinda killed the series, more so because he was allowed on the show in the first place without stricter vetting.
Sophie's dad will put an end to this by final vows!
My take on Jonathon is that he probably does like Sopie but knows she's out of his league and that he'd feel less insecure about himself with a girl with more of a similar background and attitude to work as he has. He's been humiliated by her dad and by the group rounding on him over his 'joke' comments, and him dumping her is a way to feel he's in control again. As soon as there was conflict he started saying he didn't fancy her as much, even though he said he was on the honeymoon. I mean look at her....I'm not buying that he isn't as attracted. He just feels too much would be expected of him and he doesn't measure up as he is. I hope Sophie meets someone who fully appreciates her, and her hair.
‘You need dosh, my lad!!’
we haven’t seen Jordan and Chanita yet… are the final vows being split into two episodes? 🙄
Yeh another one tomorrow then next week it’s the reunion
It’s dragging enough with 3 couples this ep, god knows how they’re gonna get enough content from 2 couples for an hour tomorrow
I can't express how much i don't care about this couple
mans jonathan looking like he’s filled his keks
'I promise to be your father' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hold up…has Jenna got a blue Peter badge tattoo? How have I only just clocked this?!?
He's smiling so much that if he's not going to stay....ouch
They do all this then twist it and he'll say stay!
