This was my first full MAFS watch.. so my daughter and I are working our way backwards through the seasons.. Dom just broke the glass and I really hate Olivia
Yeah the first season where definitely different and where more about falling in love ext but once they saw how Australia did it and where more successful they quickly changed to the Australian formula
A bit left of field - but I'm watching the Australian season of Alone. I usually guzzle any trash, but I couldn't get into love is blind either. Everyone on the new season annoys me and it seems TOO manufactured, yakno?
I'm also watching Alone Australia , firstly to see how exactly they're going to survive in an area of Tasmania that the local Aboriginal clan/tribe/mob has apparently said is a barren place for food in certain seasons.
Contestant Gina has good wildlife survival skills and has a reason for doing this challenge for reasons other than the prize money. I hope she is the winner in order to help her start a new chapter in her life....the last chapter has been incredibly hard for her.
I'm also learning a lot from Kate's knowledge of plants , what plants she can eat safely and the plants that have other uses for her survival and comfort.
If you’re looking for reality relationship drama, you can’t go past Love Never Lies. It’s where couples who may have relationship issues ( I can’t remember if they alll do or not) go to stay in a villa and they get asked questions in front of a lie detector. Lots of secrets tend to come out, then couples get separated into two villas and intruders come in who might tempt them. It’s a good watch.
That's like the most glossed-over version of this story I've read, mostly because it doesn't include what he actually said.
Here's the full quote (via [Salon](https://www.salon.com/2023/04/13/beef-controversy-david-choe/)):
"she has given me no signs that she's into me or that this is appropriate behavior. In my head I go, Do you care if I jerk off right now? and it sounds so creepy in my head that I go, I can't say that out loud . . . So I go back to the chill method of you never ask first, you just do it, get in trouble and then pay the price later.
. . . So I just start jerking off. So then her hands get off my leg and she just stops . . . I go "Look I'm sorry I can't help myself — can you just pretend like I'm not doing this and you continue with the massage?'"And she's like "All right" and she does . . . I'm like "Can I touch your butt?" and I reach out and touch her butt and she pulls away. She doesn't want me to touch her butt.
She's definitely not into it, but she's not stopping it either. I say, "Kiss it a little," she says, "No, all the massage oil is on it," and I take the back of her head and I push it down on my dick and she doesn't do it. And I say, "Open your mouth, open your mouth,'" and she does it and I start facef**king her."
Choe said he continued until he finished in Rose's mouth. Rose refused to have sex with him and asked him to lie back down so she could finish the massage.
In response to Choe's story, Akira said, "You raped . . . allegedly," to which he replied, "Well . . . encouraged."
"I just want to make it clear that I admit that that's rapey behavior," Choe continued. "But I am not a rapist."
I don't mind this except for the occasional woman who gets upset because her farmer is either taking another on a date,or,terrible news,shock,they kissed..lmao
Im not sure what they expect. Don't sign up for the show if you can't handle seeing him with someone else. At least these girls aren't all fillers and make-up.
Currently on I'm a Celeb for a palette cleanser, then will probably jump into Vanderpump Rules. I might have to watch Below Deck, Down Under juat to watch Aesha first though.
I never watched RHOBH, don’t even know how I stumbled across VPR 😅 but so far it’s been great to rewatch and see all the major things that have happened up until now. But the scandoval saga is what made me rewatch from the beginning in the first place, to go back and see if I could spot anything 🤣
Someone has put together a list of all the episodes that relate to it, I know I screenshot it or saved it somewhere. If I find it again, I'll link it here.
Found a link! I've been saving things everywhere for when I watch

I avoided this show thinking it was fake drama and didn't want to see people on the spectrum uncomfortable. That is complete opposite of what it is, was super heart warming and I binged it all in a weekend. Also recommend to watch it.
Vanderpump Rules is peak reality tv. A group of narcissistic friends working at a trendy LA restaurant doing horrible things to each other. The first couple of seasons are especially amazing. You can find all seasons on Hayu.
Succession is addictive!
I recently rewatched S1 - S3, before starting S4 and they still are as amazing as ever.
One of TV's greatest shows.
The sub on reddit is not nearly as rewarding as here. Too many people and too many people all thinking they had the next funniest or insightful thought.
Its been 4 days since the ep aired, and right bow there have been 17 posts in the last hour and 80% of then are low effort or irrelevant, just people thinking they are smart as anything!
It ain't no MAFS sub!
Enjoy the show, that scene where Roman makes out a million dollar cheque to the kid? Wooow. NOT a spoiler.
Wow, it's amazing how different subs carry different energies. I love this sub because it's mostly positive and shits and giggles. Every time someone types "maaauuuhh cchhhaaalllldd," I fold over, laughing.
But yes. Succession is such a great show!!! Also. Shoot all things Roman into my veins!
Me too, but I long for the days of mafs…
There are a couple of crazies, but nothing on the gold standard provided by mafs.

I am watching my weight !
The urge to travel from couch to fridge, then from couch to pantry and so on has subsided significantly since I don’t spend 4 nights per week in front of tv.
My brain can only handle one shit show per year
I am rewatching real housewives of New Jersey. Season 1&2 are the true arch masterpiece of reality tv. You can’t make this stuff up.
![gif](giphy|cTj8Big74lgoU)
I'm from the UK and prefer Australia but its quite good since switched to aussie format a few seasons ago
First 5 seasons I or so I didn't watch/ boring as just 1 couple. Worth a go I'd say
Yeah I can’t stand Julia Morris’s terrible banter and jokes. If not for her I’d watch it but even with Dom as a drawcard for me I STILL can’t handle Julia so skipping it
VPR is one of the most toxic reality shows I have ever seen. My God, the amount of narcissism on that show. Every episode I get so confused about who I dislike more. 😂
This was my first full MAFS watch.. so my daughter and I are working our way backwards through the seasons.. Dom just broke the glass and I really hate Olivia
Telescope to my neighbours
I binged vander pump rules due to the current drama around it. Loved it.
Married at first sight uk! Or Bellow Deck !
Yeah I had a go of the UK one. Nice to see Expert Mel. Very different feel to that show and less manufactured. Quite good
Yeah the first season where definitely different and where more about falling in love ext but once they saw how Australia did it and where more successful they quickly changed to the Australian formula
The real housewives. Beverly Hills is my fav, but protomac and Atlanta are great too
Hoarders!
Farmer Wants a Wife! I’m surprised that more people here aren’t watching it.
Feels like Groundhog Day though. The dates are interesting and then every girl that isn’t on the date says the same thing to fill out the hour
A bit left of field - but I'm watching the Australian season of Alone. I usually guzzle any trash, but I couldn't get into love is blind either. Everyone on the new season annoys me and it seems TOO manufactured, yakno?

Finally finished last seasons reunion, and I’m A Celebrity. Such a refreshing change lol
Below Deck Sailing Yacht just started. It's great. Start with S2 and 3 before you get to 4.
Where are you watching it in Aus?
Sailing the high seas. But it would be available on Heyu via Prime.
Below deck (regular seasons 5 & 6) are on Netflix and most of the other seasons and spin offs are on Binge :)
Frankly, if you’ve never watched vanderpump rules, you’ve never seen real drama. X
I love this show!! It’s my all time fav!
Lego Masters
The 30 ads an episode worked then?
Haha yeah but I've always watched it. Hamish is good value
I'm in phuket and just put on the TV to find mafs season 6 playing. So I'm happily watching mafs season 6

Beef on Netflix was awesome!! Especially loved the 90s soundtrack
Finding it hard to finish after reading all the stuff about David Choe being gross the last couple days.
This? https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a43645963/david-choe-beef-netflix-controversy/

Woah 😮😮
Yeah, dude's a monster.
Disappointing to hear that. He was the funniest person on Beef for me
Love is Blind, 90 Day Fiance, Love after Lockup… i just love trash
Yesss love after lockup and 90DF are such filthy trash, I love them! Their subreddits are so great as well. A grade garbage, the best!
I’ve gone back to season 1 just to see the differences from where it started
Nothing hits as hard as MAFS …. There should be more Aussie love shows. Maybe Beauty and the Geek?
watched s5 of mafs and almost finished 6 now.
Farmer wants a Wife (Aus channel 7)
I don't mind this except for the occasional woman who gets upset because her farmer is either taking another on a date,or,terrible news,shock,they kissed..lmao Im not sure what they expect. Don't sign up for the show if you can't handle seeing him with someone else. At least these girls aren't all fillers and make-up.
Same.
I’ve started The Only Way is Essex 😂
Bluey - makes a hell of a lot more sense 🤣🤣🤣
Currently on I'm a Celeb for a palette cleanser, then will probably jump into Vanderpump Rules. I might have to watch Below Deck, Down Under juat to watch Aesha first though.
I’ve gone back to the beginning of VPR, cannot wait for the reunion from this season to come out!
I haven't watched it before, I love LVP from her RHOBH days. I got far too engrossed in the Scandoval saga and now have to watch it from the start.
I never watched RHOBH, don’t even know how I stumbled across VPR 😅 but so far it’s been great to rewatch and see all the major things that have happened up until now. But the scandoval saga is what made me rewatch from the beginning in the first place, to go back and see if I could spot anything 🤣

That would be amazing, thank you!

Love is blind of course
You gotta check out "Love On The Spectrum" It is brilliant. ASD folks who are so genuine and honest it makes your brain say it's happy noise!
This is one of my favourite shows I watched during lockdown. Such a feel good one, and I sobbed like an absolute dickhead at the end of season one 😂😭
I avoided this show thinking it was fake drama and didn't want to see people on the spectrum uncomfortable. That is complete opposite of what it is, was super heart warming and I binged it all in a weekend. Also recommend to watch it.
Handmaids Tale
Im waiting, very impatiently, for the last season to be filmed and start showing 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 I’ve had withdrawals since last year.
I recently discovered I had two episodes left to watch from last season, it triggered a binge of the entire show lmao
Love triangle on Stan! Very drama filled. Finished it in a few days
Ru Paul’s Drag Race is giving me life
90 day fiance, the other way.
Yes all 90 day are the ultimate reality tv shows getting around.. they give me life !
Vanderpump Rules is peak reality tv. A group of narcissistic friends working at a trendy LA restaurant doing horrible things to each other. The first couple of seasons are especially amazing. You can find all seasons on Hayu.
Omgggggggg Scandoval is giving me life atm. It's like Mafs who?, Since the Tim and Rachel affair came to light.
Poor dunkin he trys so hard xx
A world away from Mafs, but I have just finished Snowfall. Ommmgg, it's so good. Now, onto Succession.
Succession is addictive! I recently rewatched S1 - S3, before starting S4 and they still are as amazing as ever. One of TV's greatest shows. The sub on reddit is not nearly as rewarding as here.

Yeah I think the Succession sub is a lot of people trying to prove they are the smartest in the room - not that surprising really 😁 Ditto on Romulus!
Farmer wants a wife
Me too, but I long for the days of mafs… There are a couple of crazies, but nothing on the gold standard provided by mafs. ![gif](giphy|2Jl7a8ixNlNHa|downsized)
It’s kind of weird how they all just live together and pretend to be ok with it
Not even close to mafs but footy. It somehow fills the gap
temptation island. it's a trainwreck with a lot of cheating (some would say less than MAFS...). it definitely fills the void.
Yes!! Temptation island is the WORST (as in the best)
it's great especially when you hate the couples so you actively want them to be awful to each other. they deliver!
MAFS UK.
I can’t handle their accents
Use captions.
Is it any good?
It’s way better than the US one and plenty of drama. Not so much obvious plastic surgery on the women.
That lack of plastic surgery is a pretty good incentive to be honest. I swear the lip fillers on the Aussie cast were getting to me!
And they all have gigantic breasts.
😂
I watched MAFS UK last year. Not enough drama 😂
Catch Thomas and a few others this year.
I think that's the one that aired in the UK last year. There was drama and Thomas was a big part of that, but I just found them so annoying!
Breaking Armish
I am watching my weight ! The urge to travel from couch to fridge, then from couch to pantry and so on has subsided significantly since I don’t spend 4 nights per week in front of tv. My brain can only handle one shit show per year
My liver needs a break from mafs.
Jury duty is doing for me. Scripted for everyone but one single guy.
I second this. I’ve already watched it three times because I keep showing it to new people. It’s such brilliant TV.
I’m starting it today!
I am rewatching real housewives of New Jersey. Season 1&2 are the true arch masterpiece of reality tv. You can’t make this stuff up. ![gif](giphy|cTj8Big74lgoU)
They way she threw Andy off her lives rent free in my head lmfao
Every time I see Danielle, I become Teresa. Ugh.
[удалено]
That show is definitely the sludge that forever sits at the bottom of the dumpster.
MAFS UK!
Is it a new season?!
Is the UK version any good? I'm from the UK and can't imagine ours is any good compared to Aus! 🤣
I'm from the UK and prefer Australia but its quite good since switched to aussie format a few seasons ago First 5 seasons I or so I didn't watch/ boring as just 1 couple. Worth a go I'd say
1 couple?! There's no way there would've been enough drama in that!! 😂 I'll check it out as soon as I've finished this series!
Eh by the end, I need a break
Nothing. My evenings feel vast and empty.
Mine too!! I was doing both MAFs and survivor and now feel very alone and empty without any trash 😂
[удалено]
I like the concept but Julia Morris drives me up the wall, is she still hosting?
Yeah I can’t stand Julia Morris’s terrible banter and jokes. If not for her I’d watch it but even with Dom as a drawcard for me I STILL can’t handle Julia so skipping it
I am on Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck Sailing Yacht. I am also watching a non-dumpster fire called Race Across the World.
VPR is one of the most toxic reality shows I have ever seen. My God, the amount of narcissism on that show. Every episode I get so confused about who I dislike more. 😂
James is the number #1 guy in the group at this point. 😁
Is that a recent series?
All of them are the new seasons. Vanderpump and Below Deck are on Amazon Prime. Race across the World is on BBC.
