I'm going for gasps.
Okay where do I get started with MAFS Australia?

Is it an entertaining trainwreck from season one or does it start off comparatively tame?

What I don't want to do is jump into the latest season and then be bored by the lack of drama if/when I go back to the earlier seasons.

I'd highly recommend the season that is presently airing on lifetime (not the most current one in Australia).

This energy is super loving weird. I get the vibe that because a lot of them have been in co-dependent isolation for so long that they just were not primed to be getting questioned for any of their bullshit and having your greatest hits played in front of a group of peer-strangers is probably not the best way to acclimate to socialization

But Mike and Natalie still seem like sociopaths

It’s because she’s suing Matt Sharp and TLC for pushing her to continue shooting after she was raped (which, legit) and for her “bad edit/poor portrayal” (which L-O-Fuckin’-L)

Also same lady who has issues with her age: That young woman was deliberately trying to flirt with my fiance to my face and creepily smirk at me to get under my skin because she came up and apologized to me afterward which is totally something a person who does that would do.

Stephanie presents a conundrum for me. I absolutely think she should sue them for forcing her to continue filming after being assaulted, and I'm horrified whenever I think of it (might stop watching tbh; that's a lot) but she is probably one of the most explicit sex tourists we've seen on the show and I think she's a disgusting person.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Julia burnt off a lotta good will last night with her "Just go to gym, eat healthy food, I not understand this." bit.

90 Day Fiance stars are definitely not the picture of mental health, but Yara had a pretty solid view on plastic surgery (get it if something bothers you and you can't find a way to accept it) that Julia could not wrap her head around for some reason.

That said, Rebecca looks like she can't emote any more and Zied apparently thinks they can suck off his gut every time he puts on some weight.

I'm not often on Yara's side, but she had a decent point there.

Julia's still young, so I could see how keeping in shape would seem simple to her. Though, I lost a lot of sympathy for Julia with that, and I'm not even overweight. Oh, just go to gym and eat healthy. Ok, well, just move out of the farm and tell Brandon to grow a pair and form an opinion, any opinion, on anything without asking mommy first. Bing, bong, so simple.

They should've given everyone tomatoes or something to throw at Andrew, though. Raw, frozen, I don't care, I just want to see that man pelted with fruits and vegetables. You strung this woman along for how long, then berated and belittled her, and you expect her to want to talk to you? Get the gently caress out of here.

I felt like the biggest villain was the host. It seems like they’re using her as a way to just stir up problems that are entirely manufactured. Give the job to Joel mchale.

I felt like it was more of a “Tell? Naw” than a tell-all.

Someone said on twitter that they thought another host would be better and she threatened to call their employer.

EDIT: Apparently it was instagram

quote:

It would seem even hosts can spar with one another and that is exactly what happened between Robinson and Joel McHale according to Reddit. McHale recently hosted the eighth episode of Tiger King, which also happened to be a reunion for the cast minus Joe Exotic. McHale was funny, got into character, and overall kept the audience’s attention. While Robinson has been blasted by fans for being boring and robotic in nature. Now some viewers are calling for her replacement with non-other than McHale. Robinson decided not to take these rumors laying down and quickly formed her rebuttal on social media.

To fans' surprise, it looked as if she threatened a follower for expressing his opinion on her removal. The Instagram account was censored but the conversation could be seen as the blogger had posted a picture of McHale saying hello to all those “cool cats out there” with a caption asking if McHale could also host the 90 Day Fiancé reunion. The blogger then tagged both McHale and Robinson in his post. Robinson quickly replied that she would have to see what her “Morehouse Brother” who worked for the blogger’s company Dataminr had to say about it. She then went on to name more names of workers at the company. The blogger knew exactly what she had tried to do and called her out on it, announcing she had tried to threaten him by naming the CEO of the company and also naming to “C-level” employees to scare him.

Robinson is terrible. I get not wanting to provoke or embarrass the contestants too much but...it's 90 Day. They have no shame or pride and the ones you want back will crawl back for the exposure or fame and will do dumb stuff on camera for interviews anyway so stop trying to be their friend.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

In Robinson’s defense, she’s gotten a LOT better ever since that. Admittedly her starting point was in the basement and she still isn’t a good host, but she’s much better than she was in previous seasons.

Joel McHale should get to do SOME hosting, he’s incredible and did a great job of the Tiger King retrospective. Even lying in bed filming on his phone he was a better host and interviewer than Shaun.

Yeah I think the tell-all would benefit from a host that acknowledges how ridiculous the show is from time to time. Robinson seems to play everything straight and takes too many things seriously

I liked Robinson on the leaked Tell All footage from the season with Erika&Steph -- she seems much better at hosting before the editors get to her.
That being said, I love me some McHale!

The full season might be on Philo. I cancelled mine because I was only using it to watch 90 Day and Love after Lockup but they both just got too stupid and repetitive, especially when these episodes are pushing 2 loving hours.

It reminds me of the same vibes as the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous, but with pigs.

This afternoon I took the plunge, getting the D+ channel on Prime. After watching two episodes of PT Single Life, I switched to Pig Royalty and got about 4 episodes deep.

The Nugget is endearing, and everyone else is obsessed and fueling the niche community drama. I love the phrase "world of pigs" peppered throughout.

These shows are pretty much fully non-union, so I'm guessing it was just literally the cheapest camera crew they could get in the cheapest studio they could get.

I only worked on 2 non-union shows in my entertainment career and both were awful. One of them made me work Saturdays (6 days a week) but told me "we don't pay overtime". So I'd be just getting my base hourly rate instead of time and a half, even though I'm well into 50-60 hours for the week. I was young and eager to work so I just took it. Now I know it was a clear violation of CA labor law and I could have gone after them for wage theft. Hell, I still might if it's within the statute of limitations. I don't care about burning bridges with that lovely production company anyway.

What's the consensus on Liz and Big Ed?

Does she actually like him? Is she an actress and this is all scripted? Does she just want to be on TV?

I low-key wonder if she's trying to branch into sugar baby business or something or is an escort, who knows. But ultimately, apart from that speculation, she is a single mom working at a restaurant, coming out of a not-great relationship, so getting some extra $$ for going beyond a first date with a creep makes sense, honestly -- you gotta do what you can to get by, and you never truly know your limits until you're living the situation.

And yes, I will watch this degrading trash and then watch the trash where trash watches trash.
