Married at First Sight Uk #11 ‘What in the Shakespeare play is going on this season?’

[CaptainHolt]

Unpopular opinion. Bianca is dignified and has a particular charm, but she isn't as pretty as some of you are forcing on this sub because you like her.

I do think women have a tendency to exaggerate the attractive qualities of the underdog or women they feel have been wronged. It's nice and well meaning, but it can also be disingenuous after some time.

If someone is not sexually attracted to her, it is not 'stupid' or 'blind' - it's simply what it is. In a wide world someone will be attracted to her for sure, but I think this 'how can anyone not see she is absolutely stunning?!' shtick is overplayed and excessive.

See, I genuinely think she is really pretty (needs her hair sorting). Much nicer than Plastic Peg & Oily Ella who have carved their look to represent what is held to be "beautiful" by society (blonde, big boobs, slim, big lips)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we could probably each do a list of 10 gorgeous celebs and we'd probably disagree on each others choices.

So yes, agree totally, JJ didn't fancy her and that's OK - she didn't float his (porny) boat. He led her on though, he should have been honest with her. I could understand him if he was trying to give it a go so kept his feelings to himself while he saw if a spark would grow, but that wasn't what he did. I can't see why he stayed and led her on other than for a go of the fame game.

On the flip side, she should have wised up to his indifference sooner it must have been obvious - it was glaring from the edit at least.

I think this years cast are already aware of how tit and obviously contrived the show is. Had a peek at all their Instagram accounts they are all bragging, begging and grifting. All of them!

Showing off goods they’ve been given and tagging the gifters.

All rather shameless and just validates that NONE of them are in the show for love.

They know the fame is short lived, shorter than last year for sure as the show is so shite this season.

Adrienne promo-ing health and fitness stuff, Thomas creating crappy content, Luke promoting his talents, Ella posting about her trans journey, Shona posting about her freebies and yoga stuff. Etc.!

Arseholes!

 

[Instahunzgo]

Let’s face it, the cast are really getting their monies worth of their 5 mins of fame!!!

Luke is unbearable!!!! He looks like he stinks of stale cigarettes

Bianca is a drip, I think she was the only one who couldn’t see JJ wasn’t in to her. She heavily edits her pictures too to slim her nose right down. No doubt she’ll be having a nose job soon #AD

 

[thegirlwho2020]

I think Bianca is very attractive actually - in an unconventional way. But my other half is half italian and has big features etc so prob just personal taste

She was so right when she said JJ didnt even give her a chance. He judges ppl by their looks only because Ella has nothing going for her in the brain department either so what else can it be? He's superficial, she's superficial (remember how much she went on about Nathanials' looks at the wedding) - they really do deserve each other

This series is in the gutter. The worst one by far!!! It’s all so staged and fake and all the leaks in the press has completely ruined it for me.

i sort of lost interest in it, when thomas was introduced with his posh english accent and then his mother, with her sounding like she came off the local council estate ( she wasnt really sounding that bad,it just seemed such a stark comparison ) it was like watching a badly cast , cast and didnt seem believable. i keep forgetting who people are by name, because they are so boring . Peggy is the dullest of them all, shes like one of those machinical toys that needs a coin inserted to get her going,Jay seems really sweet and level headed, lukes a prick, ella is so needy ,vain and selfish, georges seems a dirty bastard ( in a nice way), tattoo and his husband seem to be the most endearing and normal couple on the show and the rest of them are just so boring , they are not worth mentioning. JJ is like a wet lettuce. since they are putting all these unmatched couples together for drama, why dont they just lace all the soft drinks and food with alcohol and go straight to the big finale fight and put us all out of our misery

 

[CaptainHolt]

Ella's attraction to JJ is because he's attracted to her and therefore it proves to her that she's a real woman because he's a straight man who's chosen her over a biological woman. It's all about validation (as has been previously said by others but I'm usually too far behind the threads to join in!)

Unfortunately for Ella, I think JJ sees her as a toy - something he can play with and see what it's like to shag a post-op trans woman. Once the novelty wears out he'll be off chasing the next shiny thing.

 

[LittleMissOnions]

My money is on them re-introducing Ella and JJ when they are at the retreat, isn’t that what they did with SPH last year? Not that it’s formulaic or anything….

 

[MarshMallowMonster]

tit icing on a tit-filled cake would be if Ella and JJ are allowed to return as a couple. I wouldn’t put it past the Production Team / Ixperts. We are just past half way through the season.

It was a fook-up putting needy Ella with Pansexual Nathanial.

The rest of the matches have zero science behind them, it’s just luck if one or two of them are hitting it off. Matches were made for show ratings and they scouted out a cast on SM whose talents are fame-hunger and sob-story. Two criteria only.

at the last supper, jj 's face did seem to light up when he saw ella but when they greeted each other,, he seemed genuinly pleased to see her, but her reaction was strange, an offish hug, just like a bloke whos had what they wanted off a female and they no longer hold any interest to them. i think they must have had sexual contact of some sort before that dinner going by their actions. they deserve each other.

 

[MarshMallowMonster]

Didn’t Ella give JJ a BJ?
I think she regretted her actions but only cuz it got her removed from the show.

 

[auntclara]

Those 2 friends of Laura’s are VILE!!! Cam and Lucia. Really unhappy, stuck up and opinionated women who think they are better than others they come into contact with. Plastered in make up, no smiles. Really horrible girls.

I think they got together at the retreat. I seem to remember Gemma yelling at them both in the marquee for dinner

Think that was possibly after they left

The issue I personally have with JJ's excuses is what he claims his type is. Bianca's just quite a natural girl (other than makeup, she hasn't visibly had any cosmetic work done that I can see) and JJ specifically isn't attracted to that, which just gives me the creeps honestly. Something about preferring unnatural surgeries to someone who just looks the way that they look... I can't put my finger on it but it feels really weird.

I'm utterly convinced it's because he's in the closet so is 'attracted' to what he believes other people think is pretty... his cover if you like.

If it's for street cred though, that's in the gutter if he's still dating Ella- personally I feel like trans is a step too far in fakery to be attracted to!

I agree. I don't see her as particularly attractive physically, although she seems "nice". The pictures I've seen of her online are waaaaaaay OTT with the filters, etc. I think changing her horrible hair would be a great improvement - especially for someone who makes a living from advising others on their hair!

I’m playing catch up. I have another 3 episodes to watch before I’m where everyone else is.
So, George & Peggy… have they done the deed yet? Peggy seems very stiff and un sexual . Seems to be more life in a dishcloth. George has been very patient with her!!!

I'll be surprised if Peggy ever has sex with Georges. I think she's only on the show to further her "career" and having sex will somehow tarnish her persona. She's going to want to market herself as someone who would never do such a dirty thing as sex. As I said previously, I wish they'd stop putting people in who've already been on other reality shows.

 

[CaptainHolt]

Luke and JJ on tiktok live now, JJs hair is very bouffant!

 

[Jellybean79]

Luke is permanently live on tiktok. So desperate.

 

[Wanttoseethescreenshots]

I’m so glad Ella and JJ didn’t get to stay in the experiment together… I think they were genuinely shocked at that, I bet they thought that was her way of staying in!!! Ella kept saying she’s leaving with an amazing man but they’ve shared a few messages so how can she keep saying that? No posts from either about their relationship post mafs!

Does anyone still follow Thomas Hartley who was with Adrian last year? He seems a bit all over the place and has mentioned that he loves everyone involved in mafs other than one person (is this Adrian? Over the last year they have written lovely posts about each other so wonder what happened there!

 

[coconochanel]

Jj wont stay with Ella he just wants one night stand IMO.

I wouldn't speak too soon. They could suddenly return.

It would be interesting to see if this attraction is anything more than a quick shag and if they really do 'have a connection' that isn't just based on a quick romp in the bedroom
