Laura Vaughan’s MAFS diary: Lacey’s family are creepy for bed moment with Nathan – and something’s going on with Luke
HOME stays are usually part of the experiment where people who have been coasting through are slapped with reality in the face.
They’re usually like ‘Oh my god I don’t like this person enough for them to be in my home’…
And it seems like that did happen to a few of the remaining couples on the show last night.
In Thursday’s diary instalment I spoke about how I think that Kieran needs to just dump Kristina, and I still think exactly the same.
And I really thought the situation with Lacey’s family and Nathan was beyond strange…
If you are as obsessed with Married At First Sight as I am, you need to keep reading, as I’ve got some thoughts…
Lacey and Nathan
I’m sorry but I just felt like I shouldn’t have been watching half of that.
It all felt very performative.
I think that they are a very sweet couple, but the family situation, why is your mum and sis and dog getting in the bed with you and your husband.
Her mum flirting with Nathan was too much for me. It was too performative and it was maybe a bit creepy.
Adam and Polly
Adam was really passive aggressive when he was walking Polly through his home.
Then when his friend came round it just gets worse.
He’s walking around saying ‘I like to sleep on my own, I don’t have wardrobe space for you’, giving the girl every hint that he doesn’t want this to work on the outside.
Then his friend comes over and it just gets worse.
You know when you’re younger and you’re showing off in front of your friends and you’re being mean to your parents?
That’s the energy that Adam is giving me.
Polly starts to talk about how she did initially switch to Stephen, she regrets that and just wants someone who is more emotionally available…
Adam sat there with a face like a slapped a**e and is fuming.
And his mate sat there like ‘Why are you reacting to her like this?’
I did feel sorry for Polly.
When we see Polly’s home stay, she’s keen to project it’s going well.
Whereas Adam did not care to project that to his family or friends at all.
He’s not making any effort to sweeten their relationship and that is so telling as to where they see the relationship going.
Adam doesn’t think its going to last, Polly is still clutching on.
Ross and Sacha
Their home stay was really cute.
We saw Ross reunite with his daughter, Sacha got emotional, but it’s like both of them don’t want to move.
This is what really annoys me about this experiment.
It’s not called Married At First Sight in your home town – there is every possibility that you will be matched with someone completely at the other end of the country.
Sacha’s dad was quite terrifying, saying ‘You’re not moving, you’re staying here’.
Ross and Sacha are definitely nowhere near as strong as they were.
I think it’s happened since he threw his wedding ring.
Sneak peek of next week’s episode
We see Amy find her voice!
There’s something going on with Luke – Arthur used to be like this.
No shade to Arthur, but the group loved him, and then behind the scenes he would just tell lies.
He played up to whoever he was with, much like they’re accusing Luke of doing.
If this is the case, I can understand why she’s going to lose her rag with him.
It doesn’t scream authenticity and makes you think that they were there for the fame.
Arthur was very honest that he wanted a modelling contract.
Kristina and Luke
Kristina’s home stay will be an interesting one. It’s kind of giving Rozz and Thomas from last season.
We all know how that went for them…
They decided to leave the experiment after so I wonder if Kristina being reunited with her family, the heartbreak will hit home and say she can’t do it anymore.
Kieran needs to face the music.
If you’re inviting Kristina into your home and don’t see it going anywhere, you just need to rip of the plaster and end it.
The girl has suffered enough!
