Once again this year we are barely seeing them as couples doing normal things. This week we have had Expert week and the dinner party, tonight it is the Commintment ceremony and tomorrow is In-Laws week.
Like last night did something else happen on Charlie and Eve's honeymoon or is Eve just using it to deflect from her behaviour? Are they actually spending anytime together when not filming? Are any of the couples spending much time getting to know about each other?

Because they all hate each other
 
I cannot believe I am typing this but I am starting to feel like Alex is a little misunderstood. He was quite mature and supportive to holly ydy even comforting her despite the fact they weren’t speaking at the time. Maybe because Eve and Polly are looking so much worse, it’s making Alex look better. I was fully prepared to hate him. For people saying that the dealing with issues in private being a huge red flag, I can understand this. With my kids, we have an unwritten rule that I will always protect you in public but reprimand you in private so as not to embarrass you. e.g I will fight their corner in public but tell them where they went wrong or could have done things differently privately. They can also always tell when I’m annoyed with them by my face even when I’ve not said a word 😅. I’m not caucasian so feel it allowed to say that a stare from an aunt/uncle from such backgrounds comes across more intense and intimidating than my Caucasian side of the family. 😬 I can totally get what Holly was saying. P.S I have no idea about the historical allegations and only refer to what I’ve seen in this series.
 
You see, what I see in Alex is someone who is playing with Holly (who I think is also someone who would be no fun to be in a relationship with for other reasons). He clearly has a very fixed idea of what he wants from her, and doesn’t want, and punishes her when she gets it wrong. But then ‘forgives’ her and it’s all lovey again, or apologises to fix things but repeats the same behaviour immediately. The fact that she is also hard work obscures some of this behaviour but he is moving her into a position where she is constantly thinking about his reactions to how she is and looking for the reward of getting it right .

That’s what I see anyway, and my other half was remarking on how unsettling he finds Alex’ behaviour too - he’s been in an emotionally abusive relationship himself unfortunately and can have quite a strong reaction when reminded of situations. He also finds Eve a difficult watch.

Whomever said the way Polly is with Acorn cottage thatched roof head all fawning etc is actually controlling had her spot on. She’s deluded she’s something special and a bully herself. Eve is vile, pass it on (actually can’t comment on these threads with remarking how utterly awful Eve is!)

That was me!
Her body language towards him is all about control. What is being taken as her desperation for him to like her is actually lovebombing and it is creepy AF to watch.
Her reaction to him standing up to her is a Narc meltdown. She's confused because she can't control him so she's stropped off.

Morning everyone 😊 just cast my vote and it's an exact tie btw K&K and Ross and Sacha ❤
I've not been keeping up on here because I've been on holiday but from what I've seen of the show, it's a total pound shop version of the Oz show. Just utter cringe. Eve is neurotic, Polly is self important, I like the two couples who've scored highest in the poll but the rest of them are just toxic non-entities with bad lashes.

I cannot get over the absolute shocking state of the eyelashes from Lacey, Holly and Sasha. How do people think that is a good look. It looks like they're struggling to keep their eyes open half the time.

When has anybody who has said they absolutely dont find their partner attractive ever changed their mind on MAFS? 🤷‍♀️

If you’ve said out loud that you don’t find them attractive then you KNOW you’re never going to. Sometimes you’re indifferent to people on the attraction scale and as you get to know them you become attracted to them, but you wouldn’t have said out loud you didn’t find them attractive if that was the case.

Just caught up from last night…. Wow. Polly has shown her true colours - what vulgar woman. I hope the experts give her a show down tonight!!! Also, Kristina always looks like she needs a good wash - her hair is constantly greasy and she looks unclean. I do think Eve & Charlie will leave tonight - it’s not healthy their match up and both are miserable.

I said this last night she looked like she’d been dragged through a hedge
This was said to my husband who cracks on he isn’t interested in MAFS 👀

They had an argument and Even went to her own apartment. Charlie banged on the door and was shouting a bit. Not ideal at all. However, Eve had just slept with her again and then left (again).

We didn't actually see it on camera so don't know how intense it was ( it could have been really bad but equally may not have been) but Charlie appears to have recognised her behaviour was inappropriate, apologised and has kept calm since.

The producers stepped one year (in the Aus one I think) so I'd like to think if things had been really inappropriate someone who have intervention in the situation, especially if someone was being threatening.

Now that we can see just asking a level headed question in a normal voice is thought of as ‘shouting’ by Eve I can imagine it was a gentle tap on the door and a quick “ are you okay”

I completely agree. I've said a few times that I find him aggressive. There are similarities between him and Eve, they both focus on their partners reactions to avoid taking accountability for their own behaviour. The way he stood over her on the honeymoon going "don't swear at me" just because she used a swear word in a sentence was scary. He is an abuser with serious anger issues that are always ready to spill out at any moment - same as Eve.

Yeah I'd like to see them doing normal things like cooking dinner and eating together or going out together. Their chats with the others and things.

To be fair Polly was nit picking at Caspar the whole evening. Dind't pull her chair out and this and that. Not being funny but in this day and age oull your own fecking chair out. Eve is very manipulative imo comforting Cahrlie then saying to Polly she was glad she stook up for her. She's told them stuff the day/night before. On the honeymoon yes Charlie did go OTT apprantly naging on Eves door swearing, maybe drunk but Eve treated her like nothing. She's calmed right down now but it's still not good enough. I hated it when the experts say to fight for the relationship. They've been together 5 minutes and nothing shoud be that hard at that stage. It's not like a real marriage and years together. If yo aren't happy get up and go.

I think you've accidentally got Emma and Polly confused at the start of your comment. Emma is the blonde jolly hockey sticks sort (as another clever tattle nicknamed her - 'Sophie Wessex Balding' :LOL:) and with Caspar, claims to be a size 14, nitpicking about the chair etc.

It is a funny thing about this show, asking people to fight for a relationship they've been in less time than Liz Truss lasted as PM.
