Is nobody watching the new UK series?
Yes. Just not keen on admitting itThe Chelsea girl made me laugh. Her marriage dissoved after 10 months as Covid hit and all the superficial stuff disappeared and nothing was left.

first I've seen this show. Mrs wanted to watch it after the clips on Gogglebox. Ashamed to say it is addictive people watching. The Chelsea girl is a fud. Face like a cobblers thumb and so entitled/false (like the rest i suppose) looking for "Chelsea boy". I thik she would have been happier with the awkward but well spoken investment communications / banker chap. The Chelsea girl made me laugh.

What is somewhat amusing is how so many of them all are clones of each other without even realising it. The lips, the hair, the contouring on the girls. The tattoos, the sculpted pecs and the open shirts for the guys! As usual there's a lot of judging, walls and emotional suppression. I feel quite a few are pretending to be someone they're not, so it'll be interesting to see how long it is until the masks slip.

Sadly it hasn't worked out for him and he seems to be doing the least amount of "influencer" work from the group.
Just watching last night's episode.
Peggy is a nasty piece of work with serious issues. The way she is shown speaking to and treating George is worrying. Scary. Run George.
Porsha. Well, she's lived a life with sugar daddies.... expects the man to pay for everything... one way street. Run Terrence!

I already want to switch this UK series off. No one is engaging, they are a cross between shameless and towie. Ironically Chelsea lass was on the only way is Chelsea lol
I preferred the old format. The couples were relatable and it came across as a genuinely interesting insight into human behaviour. A few seasons ago it degenerated into the same format as love island, etc., populated by identikit caricaturish attention seekers who are just there for the TV time and I switched off. I tried an episode of the latest series but quickly gave up again.MitchT said:

An acquaintance of mine was on the show last year and he was handpicked by the producers alongside one of his friends. It was purely due to his look and physique. Apparently, he was also approached by Love Island but he chose MAFS because he saw more potential.
Sadly it hasn't worked out for him and he seems to be doing the least amount of "influencer" work from the group.
Which one was he?Sadly it hasn't worked out for him and he seems to be doing the least amount of "influencer" work from the group.
Odd decision re. MAFS over Love Island. I don't use FB/Inst etc. but I have seen Love Island people all over mainstream media and hardly ever a MAFS contestant.
Edit: different age ranges for contestants as well... the youngest MAFS would be the oldest Love Island!

Yeah, I'm the same.There always used to be some normal people who you could root for. Now, they're all influencer-wannabes and the fakery has gone from stratospheric to orbital.
We've given up on the Australian one too - basically, the contestants each year are just facsimiles of last year with drama level turned up.

I guess the producers constantly try to dial up the drama and conflict to keep viewers interested but they always end up going too far and just setting up emotionally damaged and mentally unstable people to make good telly.
Some of the pairings seem deliberately designed for this.Posh boy with farmer girl, then Chelsea girl who loves posh boys paired with a tennis coach. Smacks of being setup for some 'cheating'.

Brad reminds me of someone I used to know - always saying whatever they need to say to make the person in front of them to like them, and almost in a faux-intellectual way. Come across a bit smarmy.
He and several others are fake as.Brad gets it on with the tran sexual later in the show....
