Rupert and Evelyn have to hug for three minutes and I really hope this breaks the awkwardness between them. Spoke too soon because he makes it awkward straight away by asking what position they should be in for the lengthy hug.
stop talking
He likes “adult hug” which is apparently “sex”. I was today years old, people.
Rupert is off to a horrible start by asking Evelyn what she’s thinking about 0.03 seconds in. She asks him to “stop talking”, likely so she can regain the sleep she lost by trying to not get burnt or lose her eyes.
shhhhh go to sleep
He tells her that she’s choking him out and she does an excellent job of not laughing. Then he asks her if she put on deodorant this morning.
fuck uTayla and Hugo are doing the MAFS photo ranking task which will be absolute carnage. Tayla didn’t even realise Hugo was on the table.
She puts Cam first, which surprises no one. She puts Bunnings Daddy second, which proves how truly superficial she is. Jesse? Well, he goes last because he gives her “serial killer vibes”.
lol I saw a mask in his luggage
Producers ask if there’s anything Tayla finds attractive about her husband and holy shit she says, “his height”. I want to pretend that I would never say that but I would, followed by a laugh. But she does not laugh. She’s dead fucking serious.
apparently that matters
Tayla proceeds to put Hugo first? I did not expect that! Is she going to follow this up with something harsh behind his back? Even he’s questioning it.
you sit on a throne of lies
Hugo wants to put Tayla first and tells her she’s in the “top three”. He asks her if she thinks she deserves first place given her treatment of puppy dogs like him.
He says if it’s based on “intelligence”, “humour” and “trying” then maybe she deserves to be last. But he wouldn’t do that to her! So he puts her second last. So let me get this straight: does he think she’s dumb, not funny and lacks effort? That’s what I heard.
Prince Eric (Duncan) is in his apron again so I’m going to need two-three minutes to recompose myself.
time of death: 8.01 pm
Nothing exciting happens during this meal except for this:
blessed be the fruit
Sandy and Dan’s post-sex meet-and-greet is on hold because Dan has been gone for another six-hour run.
“Since we’ve been intimate, he has been distant,” she explains. Oh dear, this is not good. She’s wondering if he’s feeling weird about what happened and is getting upset.
I hate that she has to question herself as a result of this.
runs don’t take that long, do they?
She says that Dan previously said he can separate sex and feelings, whereas she’s been clear that she can’t.
Tayla is sick of Hugo. Literally.
He thinks she is acting as if someone has pissed in her Cornflakes. “My back’s hurting from carrying this relationship,” he says.
I SHAT in your cornflakes too
Dan’s back from his 50-hour run. Sandy suggests that maybe next time he runs only for three hours instead of six. Dan’s questionable friend from the MAFS wedding (yes, that one) has arrived along with Sandy’s sister.
Dan says he’s not connecting with Sandy because she’s not as “active” as he is. An interesting revelation after sleeping with someone.
Sandy explains that she’s allergic to the ocean. Something tells me this is not what Dan’s friend was expecting.
AROOGA
Dan’s friend asks if someone’s prepared to move and Sandy starts saying that it’s not completely off the cards, only for Dan to interrupt and say “I can’t”.
news to me
Dan’s saying that Sandy watches TV but she says that she’s keeping herself entertained while sitting at home waiting for him.
Dan goes outside with his friend and something tells me they’ve been in this situation before, perhaps most Sundays:
alright we’ve got one hour left of bottomless, send it
Sandy’s ocean allergy gives Dan anxiety. He wants the energy that he has with his Bottomless Buddy Georgia, only with a partner. Marry her then? Now it all makes sense that he ended up with the orange dress from his MAFS wedding.
Sandy and Dan are now alone. Silence. Awkward. Dan addresses the “incompatibility” between them because of differences in lifestyles and interests. He keeps talking about how he wanted someone “active” who goes to the gym.
Their conversation is weird and goes nowhere. He thinks she’s speaking over him which is rich considering what I just watched.
WOW
See you for tomorrow’s MAFS recap, because something tells me this is just the beginning of Dan’s villain edit.
