What did Zoe say about Matt's tattoo? We've rewound it a few times and it still makes no sense to us.

We had to rewind it too; “Hope it was drawn with a Sharpie” was the first comment which I heard on re-listening. I think the second comment was about it being a fake tattoo like their marriage, but I didn’t hear it well enough to be sure.

‘I hope it’s a Sharpey … I hope it’s a week tops cos that’s what the relationship is … Burn!’

I watched Adrian and a few others live last night after the show. Seems there is a big divide but the show has cut so much out and makes some look worse than they are to add to the drama.

Daily Mail [I know, I know....] states that Jordan and Chanita have split up -

"The couple, who renewed their wedding vows in scenes from the series that aired last week, are no longer together after Jordan 'stopped making an effort with Chanita' and her ultimate fears for their relationship came true."

Thanks for putting spoilers up before the show..............

The Daily Mail put up the spoilers but it was in advance of last night's show when that was revealed.

I thought the dinner party was supposed to have been an absolute bunfight but what was broadcast was really quite pleasant.

I read they cut a lot out as it was pre-watershed. Didn't realise that still existed by name, either way, that's the principle.

Matt's ex was enjoying deliberately starting trouble between Matt and Sophie. There must have been a lot more than was shown as it escalated quite quickly and then she stormed off.

I assume last night's dinner party was filmed after the series was aired?

I got the impression Tom was trying to wind his neck in probably due to the negative attention his behaviour has attracted.

Maybe... it was all over as well, so less bait to rise to.

Not sure it was after the series had aired, as George was still there and isn't April undergoing counselling for the trauma of being with him?!

Kwami was told what to say to apologise but still couldn't do it lol

Married at First Sight: Australia (or "the crazy Australians" as it's called in our house) is back on TV
First few episodes available on the E4 player thingy, think the first one airs Saturday morning(?).

[hurstg01]

It has been on from Monday night

[Chainedtomato]

We are quite far into season 10. They have certainly chosen some nutters this year, great entertainment

[trixical]

I wondered if this would pop up, Definitely a high quantity of crazies for the entertainment value from the look of it

[RacerMike]

I feel like they do a better job of at least trying to match people in the Aus one. It doesn’t help most of them have borderline personality disorders, but I don’t find myself thinking ‘who on earth every imagined these two would get on’ like I did with the last UK one…

Girlfriend is Australian and her family have been watching this for the last few weeks. I suspect she will end up binge watching this while I sit on the sofa on the laptop half watching this.

They did but it feels like the entertainment need has taken a greater precedent this year.
Mondays episode looks like its got a hum dinger of a pairing

[Driver101]

I thought it started this coming Monday.

I thought the last Australian series lost its way. We might still end up checking this series out.

Definitely....however the second couple seem to really like each other. So far.

Not sure if there's some confusion over timing, but it started on Monday this week. Episode 4 was on last night.

UK producers of lots of shows seem to think we like watching failure - people say the same on the Bake Off and Apprentice threads where either the tasks have restrictions that will cause arguments (different parts of the team can't contact the other) or Kobayashi Maru challenges in Bake Off.
Had a busy week so haven't started MAFS yet.

2nd couple being Bronte & Harrison? Um...

It seems we are only getting 4 episodes a week as Aus Farmer wants a wife is on the schedule for 7.30 on Fridays this week & next week so those who haven't had a chance to kick off yet have got 3 clear days to catch up before there are any more
