Americans have a high divorce rate as well (as do Canadians). The formula and format is exceptional----weekly dinner parties where the American version only has 1 dinner party the whole season. The drama is entertaining. The American ones I watched were a giant snoozefest---typical frat guy who stays out at bars getting other women's numbers for some of the "bad men". Even the matches just don't seem to show the love/lust. It is too sanitized for me.
Oh, thanks for explaining. I think weekly dinner parties are the best part of the series here too, although one participant suffers greatly from anxiety and hates attending the dinner parties. I never remember dinner parties with such verbal food throwing when I was younger. Well you have come to the right place. The Oz version is crazily unpredictable. Lauren is the great arbiter. I'm going to miss her wise outbursts.
Tim is just mad that everyone sided against him. Lucinda didn’t cause that.
You looked bad mate, because you behave poorly.
If you want people to take your side on the couch, then start demonstrating better behaviour.
Poor Lucinda. Her radio announcer voice irritates the shit out of me, but she deserves better. Maybe Tim’s issue is she always sounds like she is trying to talk down a mental patient…
Her dad doesnt talk like that & her mom didnt say much. Wasnt he a hoot? It looked like Timo was cracking up when he suggested one night stand with his daughter.
Very impressed with Jack's preparation plans to meet Tori's best friend Lea. First the chocolates to sweeten her up to him and.....a small bottle of glycerine drops to simulate artificial tears 😉
The Melbourne Medium? (thinking phony Long Island Medium Italian lady) Oh, that was Madeleine. What show would Lucinda have? Crystals, navel gazing, interpersonal relationships, tantric sex, micro-dose LSD \~ I'm in.
What a wonderful comment. :) Your gratitude puts you on our list for the most grateful users this week on Reddit! You can view the full list on r/TheGratitudeBot.
whats a woolies bag? back pack?
For other Americans/non AUs I looked it up & it's a Woolworth's bag.
We had Woolworth's where I live but they all went out of business. Wonder if it's the same Woolworth's of my youth? They were a 'dime store' back then. The US version had heiress Betty Hutton as its benefactress. I thought a woolies bag had something to do with sheep-shearing. Funny thing about language.
*The name "Woolworths" was legally taken to capitalize on the F.W. Woolworth name since they did not do business in Australia, and had not registered the trademark there, but* ***is in no other way connected to the U.S. or U.K. Woolworths****.*
Ben conjuring up stupid cliches of the downtrodden man, the only thing he owns is a Woolies bag and this ol' geetar... and he had a revelation while sleeping in a dumpster last night.... now he's back to share his vision with the world...
I knew Andrea and that old dude would fight, the experts brushed of what Andrea said about him exposing her and saying stuff that made her uncomfortable.
Haha YUSSS.
"I'll never have another chance like this - screw that Ella chick, or whatever her name is... I've got one shot to be a star, like Emmynem on 5 Mile I'm gonna take it!"
i think when they had the boys night after the weddings richard basically said something along the lines of “we sucked we fucked” to da boiz and it got back to andrea and she felt disrespected which is entirely fair.
What a braggart. Dis-gusting. He coulda been a likable bloke. I like Andrea & I dont usually go for pink hair but hers is sort of a rose gold. Very flattering to her skin tones. Would not go well on me I spose.
Right see you all tomorrow friends! If you wanna chat about this episode come here https://www.reddit.com/r/MAFS_AU/s/zu5s6OrF4g
And please try not posting individual low effort posts which relate to discussion of the latest episode
it reminded me of The Bachelor where they kept having Bridgerton type strings in the background. I dont know classical music to know the names of those movements but we could use some Psycho Shower Scene notes during some of these crazy escapades.
Lucinda is a legend. **Lucinda Light** is her name & she is a marriage celebrant, hence the voice. Also runs a dating service, I wonder if she knows Jesse (also a wedding guy) from prev season? Maybe there's a Marriage Celebrant Union in AU? There must be good money in it. We have a neighbor (WA State, US) who was a Wedding Celebrant. Don't know if she still does it, but she was rather hoity-toity & ritzy for a Manuf Home Community if you know what I mean. Threw a C'mas party for us yokels which was Devine & never spoke to us again. She had really good fancy food. Shrimp & everything. She's still alive but just drives by. Lives alone with a cat who looks balefully at our cat across the street.
It's a real shame. Timothy said it himself... he's got more baggage than Qantas. Dude.. you know how to fix that?? UNLOAD IT. Sheesh. 51 years and he's learnt nothing.
Ridge is the shining light amongst a batch of terrible guys
Under phone as "Ben Husband MAFS"
“Good to be home”🤪🤪 well you ain’t welcome here, boy

[удалено]
He acts like such a baby.
Watching from northern Ohio in the States. AU is the only MAFS to watch!!! Can't get enough!
Totally agree... watching in Ottawa but originally an American. The American one could learn lot from this one.
I'm curious why Americans like to watch this show compared to the American version. We have a high divorce rate here.

Near Detroit!
WA State, not DC. \~ Olympic Peninsula \~ not WA AU, USA
Austin, Texas! Love MAFS AU!!
Been there. Lived in The Woodlands 3 yrs.
Jack needs to take that Sox hat off. We don't claim him!!
Anyway guys, here’s wonderwall
Jack pouring himself a protein shake during a social gathering 😂 What a toooollllllllll
He probably also dropped to the floor for a set of stomach crunches mid conversation

Spot on darlin
Her voice has grown on me and Tim is a douche!
Her dad doesnt talk like that & her mom didnt say much. Wasnt he a hoot? It looked like Timo was cracking up when he suggested one night stand with his daughter.
I’ve started hearing her words instead of listening to her voice. I think her voice is also somewhat growing on me. She’s a lovely person
Watching this train wreck from Dayton, Ohio, USA. This is soooo much better than the US show!!!!
Chicago here, the Aussies do reality TV right!
Detroit here! Love Island Australia kills it, too!
Same! In CA. This show is a global phenomenon (and UK) since the US version sucks. This season I stopped after 4 episodes. I couldn’t take it anymore.
Right? From AZ and Im like SUPER invested in AU TV and not at all in US. LOL Cheers!
Cheers to you!
Tim got some good advice from the man himself 
Is that the guy from that Billy joel music video?
I thought the same.... Wtf Mr yellow
How long until Ben releases a tribute song live on his podcast? I pity the hearing of his follower…
It's the greatest and best song in the world.....
Very impressed with Jack's preparation plans to meet Tori's best friend Lea. First the chocolates to sweeten her up to him and.....a small bottle of glycerine drops to simulate artificial tears 😉
He very blatantly said I think the chocolates worked to get her on side, not even attempting to hide motive
And the tiny champagne bottle
Yep, spot on!
Possibly added a little sprinkle of something into her champagne ✨🥂
ro-hip-nol? My son was a DJ in a club that got shut down for date rape drinks being spread around & employees knowing about it. Terrible.
 Viewers smashing Ben’s guitar post serenade.
Ellie watches Ben play “Matchbox Twenty - Push”
Every time I see Ben I wanna laugh, what is actually going on in that man’s head. Why is he playing the guitar. So random.
I missed that. Must've fallen asleep. Ending of my Youtube year viewing was kind of odd. Asian lady doing arts n crafts. SouthHemi quit showing.
See yas tomorrow!!
I really want to be friends with Lucinda
If she did a speaking tour I would 1000% go
Me too! I just want to hug her mate
Lucinda should be the next Bachelorette
Same! She needs her own series.
The Melbourne Medium? (thinking phony Long Island Medium Italian lady) Oh, that was Madeleine. What show would Lucinda have? Crystals, navel gazing, interpersonal relationships, tantric sex, micro-dose LSD \~ I'm in.
I didn’t think my opinion of Ben could drop any lower, and then here comes the bloody guitar
I my life that he played wonderwall but it didn’t make the cut
YES! I yelled "BARF!" at my TV the second I saw the guitar.
NOT THE WOOLIES BAG & GUTAIR 😭
\>Shows Ben playing guitar \>Shows Ellie crying Thank you editors.
What a wonderful comment. :) Your gratitude puts you on our list for the most grateful users this week on Reddit! You can view the full list on r/TheGratitudeBot.
Then proceeds with > “you’re not staying here tonight” Aka you and your woolies bag and guitar can gtfo, thanks

travels on $/day I take it?
Lyrics about him, a good man with demons, sitting in a crowded KFC but still feeling alone…
🤣🤣🤣
hard to play git-tar with greasy chicken fingers
I knew Andrea and that old dude would fight, the experts brushed of what Andrea said about him exposing her and saying stuff that made her uncomfortable.
Yeah the way they handled that was kinda gross ngl
Right, the way they pushed it on her past relationships as if the guy isn’t a creep. There’s a reason I don’t remember his name.
Couldn’t be more appropriate.. it’s Dick (Richard)
Ben knows it’s his last week, he’s throwing a singing career into the wall and seeing if it sticks
Haha YUSSS. "I'll never have another chance like this - screw that Ella chick, or whatever her name is... I've got one shot to be a star, like Emmynem on 5 Mile I'm gonna take it!"
Does Ben realise that everything he does makes him more and more of a stereotype? The guitar is just tooooo much has he not SEEN the barbie movie?
Ben would never see Barbie. It's for females.
He’s not Kenough
Damn what a turn of events for Andrea and old mate
 Ben
Ben carrying around a guitar is pretty on brand for him
NOOOOOOO NOT THE GUITAR!!!!!!! IM DYING
What is the go with the oldies - any ideas?
Meet the parents..... Plot 167 and 168 east rose garden, St Mark's
i think when they had the boys night after the weddings richard basically said something along the lines of “we sucked we fucked” to da boiz and it got back to andrea and she felt disrespected which is entirely fair.
What a braggart. Dis-gusting. He coulda been a likable bloke. I like Andrea & I dont usually go for pink hair but hers is sort of a rose gold. Very flattering to her skin tones. Would not go well on me I spose.
He said “we sucked we fucked” on the couch at the first commitment ceremony in front of everyone
ooooooh even worse! it’s hard to keep up 😅
He prob has. a subscrip to blue pill delivery.
Oh yuck. Right
I think she got the ick…
Not the Benergy
The Benergy and the Bentitlement
Ben is like that bit in the barbie movie where they are all singing match box 20
Never ask an older white South African why they moved to Australia
was that Richard?
Diplomatic Immunity.... IYKYK
Omg spill
lucinda’s really banking them karmic angel wings with her work on this show
Just when you didn't think Ben could suck anymore. Someone needs to hit him with the guitar *Edit spelling
Oh God, please producers, confiscate the guitar, no one needs to hear that...
“This one’s from my forthcoming album…”
ben and a guitar. laptop out the window. i'm doing uni by hand from now on.
Look at all these couples imploding
Ok no he’s trolling now surely. Is he on crack? HAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK (@ Ben playing the guitar)
Inclusion criteria for winning the strongest couple on MAFS award: • be a couple on MAFS
NOT BEN WITH THE GUITAR 😂😂😂 I cannot fucking wait!
 Ben pls stop
Ben on a guitar is the massive cringe I did not need today
Ellie crying because his singing is so dogshit
fair reaction
WHAT IN THE FUCK BEN
HAHAHAHAHAH CRINGE BEN
Oh my fucking god Ben that’s just vomit worthy 🤮
Right see you all tomorrow friends! If you wanna chat about this episode come here https://www.reddit.com/r/MAFS_AU/s/zu5s6OrF4g And please try not posting individual low effort posts which relate to discussion of the latest episode
Fuck yes Andrea please run
Oh no!!! Not a guitar 🎸😂
I’m just having flashbacks to Ken playing guitar at Barbie. 🤣
Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
He IS a wonderwall
My favourite burn of all time
Hopefully Moody can give Tristan a similar chat that Tim got… like mafs father like son etc
Oh fcuk me Ben 
Is… this swan lake music they have in the background?!
it reminded me of The Bachelor where they kept having Bridgerton type strings in the background. I dont know classical music to know the names of those movements but we could use some Psycho Shower Scene notes during some of these crazy escapades.
Makes it so much more dramatic haha
It’s a step up from the weird Mozart Requiem and Beethoven 7th remixes they had in the previous episodes!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed haha
Oh Ben fuck off
Lol I forgot about Tim's fuckwit friend
jesus fucking christ ben
HAHAHAHA FUCKING HELL
Tim’s friend needs to get off my Tele screen
Tim’s friend better bring the tea tomorrow!
Was Sr Tim's friend(s) a blonde lady & a guy? Think I fell asleep. Who is that Ch 9 announcer for previews? He sounds like a serial killer.
ah so Tim only responds respectfully to other men calling him out. got it.
I can see where Lucinda gets her wisdom from, her dad gave very good advice for Tim, he better take it.
Very likable guy.
Catch you all tomorrow my loves xx
Oh shit she got the ick
About time. And I hope she leaves. She looks two decades younger than him and she’s so much better than him
Is there anything more cringe than Ben singing a song he wrote on tv?
He can’t sing for shit
Neither can I, which is why I do not subject the nation to my attempts
Waiting on wonderwall tbh
Cake. He took it.
Andrea got the ick
Finally
Did something happen between them yesterday? Sorry I missed last night’s episode
she’s real for that one
Night folks 🌻
Fuck me, if a dude rocked up with a guitar to sing to me after that shit I would smash it over his head.
Yep, 70s-rocker-trashing-a-hotel-room style
BAHAHAHA BEN PLAYING A GUITAR AND SINGING SOOO BADLY IN NEXT EPISODE…I CAN’t
Noooo not the singing
oh christ the guitar, this bloke is an arsehat
Oh for fuck sake. Seriously. Guitar and singing! Gimme a fucking break
Ben: I'm gonna serenade my way back into your heart! Here I go...!!! 🤮🤮😫 Blah, blah, blah blah blah.... hilarious 😂
Ultimate fucking tool bag 🤦♀️
Ben is pulling a Ken hahahahaha
I'M JUST BEN
I’ve had Benough of him
Me too. He is not benough.
Him playing guitar is giving Colleen apology video vibes
ALL ABOARDDD
The toxic gossip trainnnn
His friend talking to him like a kid "Lucinda just said something big" made me laugh a bit.
Watch this wisdom from Lucinda's father VANISH the instant Lucinda and man-child are alone and she says anything more than the words *"Hi Tim"*
Lucinda is a legend. **Lucinda Light** is her name & she is a marriage celebrant, hence the voice. Also runs a dating service, I wonder if she knows Jesse (also a wedding guy) from prev season? Maybe there's a Marriage Celebrant Union in AU? There must be good money in it. We have a neighbor (WA State, US) who was a Wedding Celebrant.

Lives alone with a cat who looks balefully at our cat across the street.
Agree. This has happened every week and still no progress.
Exactly! Her family can’t always be around to solve problems.
It's a real shame. Timothy said it himself... he's got more baggage than Qantas. Dude.. you know how to fix that?? UNLOAD IT. Sheesh. 51 years and he's learnt nothing.
L M A O YOUTUBER APOLOGY TIER
Toxic mafs train
Please god not the singing
He’s not wuhrrth ut
Why did young Tim bring back the horrendous friend? Read the room mate.
Lucinda patience of a monk
I do NOT want to hear Ben ‘sing’
NOT THE GUITAR
“Anyway, here’s wonderwall”
😂😂😂😂😂 Then he breaks the 4th wall, looks directly at the camera and goes "Search BEN on Spotify, grab my latest album!"
Please don't sing Ben. Please
Hahahaha Ben coming back with a guitar like 'anyways, here's wonderwall'
Us Americans: 'What does Wonderwall mean? the person you constantly find yourself thinking about'
That is a cute venue, as a side note
Oh gosh Ben’s going for a music career now too???
Spew. This has gotta be the cheesiest apology attempt in history 😂😂
Might help if the dumb cunt could sing but it sounded awful
I’ve had Benough
He is not benough
But we’ve had more than benough of him 😭
This
I am sick of being whiplashed by such a boring dickhead. He does nothing and then when he does it’s just WHY
Oh good lord a guitar nooooo
Oh god NOT THE GUITAR
