SPOILER ALERT It’s MAFS retreat week, aka three nights of forced cohabitation that should end nicely
BY: Kartya Vucetic
Ladies and gentlemen, I bear excellent news. We have officially passed the halfway mark of this year’s MAFS experiment. Please join me in collectively exhaling.
Of course, like every other year, to celebrate the home stretch the producers have decided the brides and grooms deserve some much-needed respite.
Yes, that’s right. It’s retreat week, also known in this house as MAFS school camp. Except it’s actually worse than school camp, because at least by Year 10 you got to choose who was sleeping next to you.
If weekly dinner parties filled with tears, screaming and emotional breakdowns worked so well, then surely three nights of forced cohabitation in one house will fix everything? Right?
Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Despite the cast appearing in high spirits in these photos as they prepare for the annual rite-of-passage sprint up the driveway to claim the best bedroom, things reportedly take a downhill turn rather quickly.
Every year they do this and every year it annoys me
Which, while I’m on that point, why do they do this every year? And I mean every year. Without fail, the men of this experiment take it upon themselves to prove their speed, endurance and overall Darwinian fitness by racing each other to the bedrooms like it’s some kind of caveman Olympics.
What’s happening on tonight’s episode?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll already know that tonight’s episode has more or less been spoiled. The twenty-word-or-less summary? Bec’s in the shit (again), and this time Rachel is on the receiving end of a particularly crass comment.
At this point, the cast’s inability to exchange a basic pleasantry with one another has genuinely become impressive. And with ratings still soaring through the roof, it’s clear that TraumaTV is still great for business.
So on that note, scroll down to peruse all the pics of calm before the storm.
