I dips me lid to the team on MAFS, it is super entertaining. I know, it’s horrid, exploitative rubbish, but I can’t take my eyes off it. Last night I even found myself wiping away tears (when the dad made his emotional speech). And the structure works so well with the ad breaks. Great casting, brilliant cutting, perfect art direction etc etc. Guilty pleasure.
It really is good this year. Super-tight editing, pared-back interesting casting, and no obligatory roll out of every moment of every couple’s wedding, just the pertinent ones. I normally fastforward through chunks of the early episodes, but am just watching with interest, and also teared up during Brett’s dad’s speech.
Completely agree with you!
Has some one told Seven the ratings period is on. Some of the Seven shows look like non ratings fill ins
Was going to record Highway Patrol until I read the EPG detailing it was a best-of episode. Waiting for a new series to begin.
I saw some of it. Is that why is was so entertaining-a best of show.
Yeah the best of episodes are beyond tired now. They would only work if the original episodes weren’t already repeated a dozen times every year too.
You’re just waiting for a mate
