None of the couples are equals. All the men are being bossed by the women.
Well it is reality TV!
I do think if a man showed the aggression of Nakita and threw something they'd be disciplined or thrown off the show for it.
This is an exact parallel of Love Island, where the women seem to have carte blance to say or act however they want. That said, the 'experts' seem to have made particularly poor matches with the first 4 couples in MAFS - None of them are going to work as it stands just now.
I cannot believe that the OH has hooked us into another series of this thing.
Thoughts so far
Nikita:
Well, where to start. She looks like a character from Bo Selecta, so wide and false is her face. £5 says she has an OnlyFans account going within weeks, if she hasn't already.
Morag (call me Moo/Honey.....WTF?!?)
Keeps claiming "this is not what I ordered" like this is a frickin' chinese takeaway. You've been going for what you "ordered" for the last few years and you've ended up on a show where you marry a stranger. Perhaps a new tactic is in order?
Feel sorry for the fella she's paired with, who seems a decent sort.
Megan
Blatantly deep down wants to remain single. Thinks she shouldn't be single. Is disappointed to have been paired with Tigger.
At least she looks and dresses reasonably normal.
The two fellas
Surprisingly normal. The fake tension over age difference, kids, etc is a little annoying. Suspect a major bust-up is coming though.
Surely it's not a mysogynistic thing to wonder why the blokes seem OK for the most part but the women are all evil for the most part?

That's sort of their objective though.
It’s back and true to form already with mis-matched couples a plenty!
The comments from the women really are quite hurtful, there would be outcry if the men nit-picked his wife’s appearance and behaviour in the same way.
Nikita should be on Geordie Shore, blatantly just looking to raise her profile.
Josh looks like a startled deer with the spiritualist

This is the only reality TV that I dip into, and I managed to see an episode on More4 at tea time yesterday. I hate myself for watching this pap, but I can't help but watch as car-crash follows car-crash. My observations so far :
Most of the blokes seem normal (so far).
Most of the women seem to be there to boost their instagram followers.
Eyebrows - WTF? Everyone has weird fake eyebrows.
The extrovert chap has a proper hairy chest, I thought all metrosexuals shaved nowadays - it's good to see a 'proper' 70's hairy chest on display.
The only normal couple seem to be the gay pair - hope they make it to the end without too much fake drama.
I've only seen a few of the couples from one show so far, so I'm looking forward to finding things to hate about the other participants too.

Problem with them is that one is a London guy, with elderly parents near by, the other lives in rurual Norther Ireland and won't move because he'll miss out on cliff top dancing... They're doomed if they can't resolve that.Just started catching up on this.
Huge change from the earlier series which had relatively 'normal' people on for a strange social experiment. Now. it's just a vehicle for narcissists to get their five minutes of fame.
The women I've seen so far - the half Thai lady (Nikita?) and the one whose dad died - are pretty vile. Goes to show how living in a small narcissistic social media bubble can affect people, for the worse.
Nikita's friends came across like mindless sycophants, worshipping the melted plastic monster, but at least they tried to talk a bit of sense until her re. giving the bloke a chance. I imagine she'll wear thin on him pretty quickly mind you.
Still, it's an interesting window into these people's minds and lives. Scary as it is, I don't think these people are that common in society - are they?!

More fake tension and dodgy editing last night.
Franky's speech, I'm sure, did not go down that badly on the day. It seemed blatantly edited to look like tumbleweed after every one of his gags.
His new partner seemed quite normal, although is anyone normal that goes on these shows?
The fake tension about her kids grated. We had 3 or 4 commercial breaks with clips of her telling him about her kids and then a stony face from him until, as expected, when you saw the actual conversation he just said
"Oh cool - can't wait to meet them"
What baffles me is the even remote expectation from the chaps that they'll get laid on the wedding night......with someone they've literally just met.
Again, editing comes into play here and I'm sure they're predominantly joking but if you're really there for the long haul, would you want that within hours of meeting them??
