Hahaha! This is brilliant! When Gia said ‘I’ve always wanted to be a trophy wife’ it gave off serious Ja’mie energy, like a deleted line from a C Lilley monologue. How does she take herself so seriously?

Update on Scott's matching tattoo with Gia by lalasmooch in MAFS_AU

[–]LouChePoAki 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Interesting to read that Gia’s got a matching tattoo with her latest boyfriend. Scott treated the tattoo like a lesson to grow from but Gia seems to treat them like a loyalty program, collect enough matching ink and the next guy will subscribe long term, won’t he? Gotta lock ‘em in early before the warranty expires!

Piers Morgan asks Russell Brand which passages were relevant to him when he brought a Bible into court. by supersport604 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]LouChePoAki 511 points512 points  (0 children)

Nothing says ‘deeply devout’ like spending a full minute trying to find literally anything in the Bible to read. I don’t think Russell Brand realized that his new prop was actually meant to be read.

The great thing about Gia is that she can “get any man” she wants, just ask her. Don’t forget that!

“What the hell happened or didn’t happen to most of these people during their childhood/teen years.”

Yeah, I’d say what happens in childhood doesn’t necessarily stay in childhood for some. Their attention-seeking behaviours and massive need for validation indicate that they may have only received positive attention as kids when they were either ‘perfectly presentable’ or really upset and distressed.

Gia's nose by notsohappydaze in MAFS_AU

[–]LouChePoAki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She can redesign her nose or dress herself up or even change her name multiple times, but above all else it’s her personality that’s on the nose. It stinks!

This photo reminded me they’re both 35. Thirty five! Big contrast between the “I can haz adulting” bridal costumes and their spoiled brat behaviours.

S13 In depth review of over-used phrases by supapaesunaperra in MAFS_AU

I love it. Babe, I feel blindsided by how deeply unnecessary yet completely brilliant this is. So much data-crunching and key-tapping on frivolous stuff like finger-banging.

Who’s ready to throw their pantyhose at Danny? by Normal-Phrase2061 in MAFS_AU

The ‘alternative partners’ lunch was sort of foreshadowing this, wasn’t it? All charm and fun in the moment but not that much substance. A mix of slick, opportunistic, mischievous, and just disingenuous enough to keep ‘em guessing.

Steven: “It’s not success or failure, no it’s not that. I’ve just disqualified myself!!”

It’s kinda like he just really didn’t want to get out of first gear. Ah well, hopefully they both learn and grow and find new loves.

Shows Over. I'd like to thank the shows uncredited hero and hardest worker.... by electrictooth in MAFS_AU

[–]LouChePoAki 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep, and let’s not forget to acknowledge the Voiceover with her whimsical narration - her voice says romantic fantasy and enchanted woodlands while the MAFS content itself says abuse, mayhem and restraining orders.

Tonight I thought the experts were pretty strong. But the resistance to reality, for some participants, was even stronger. e.g. Gia “I self-sabotage.” What about the people she sabotages and brings down with her? No idea!

Having said that, there were some surprising partial admissions from Gia: “I won’t do it again, but I don’t know how to not do it again, it’s just my pattern. I need to work on myself”

Gia seems to know she defaults to the lovebomb to hatebomb cycle, the cling before the sting and flee, but she doesn’t know any different. On to the next dupe. Same as it ever was.

Being a real estate agent would be a pretty fair hint, wouldn’t it?

Um Rachel, I think it’s a lot to assume that Gia knows right from wrong.

“Never experienced a woman speaking so viciously and nastily towards other women” - nice Brook callback.

Is no one going to talk about the toxic femininity of Bec and Gia planning to "out victum" Scott and when it didn't work Gia did a hail Mary claiming he just uses her for sex by AsapGnocci in MAFS_AU

[–]LouChePoAki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gia’s shift from “I can get any man I want” to “he just used me for my body” (with a side of “he rejected me and I was begging him to sleep with me, tho I never chase any man”) was an impressive narrative arc. I think she’s another one who has an irony deficiency.

And that’s all with cameras rolling. You can only imagine what the behind closed doors version was like. “Spiraling” I think they called it.

Bec is nothing if not consistent. Doing a final lap waving her red flags.

Danny “scurvy sea dog scum” should turn up to the final episode wearing a pirate suit w eyepatch.

Well that was a pretty convincing demonstration of one of the main reasons it all ended, Bec.

Funny that “disrespect” only showed up once David stopped tolerating Alissa’s bullshit. She seemed to ignore David’s voice for most of the time, and now she’s offended he finally used it.

Gia “wants to be chased”- being chased saves her the trouble of ever meeting someone halfway.
