Hello and welcome, viewerfriends. Wasn’t it nice of E4 to show us part of the wrong episode followed a picture of Josh instead of the final?
The picture, which was a freeze frame from the solo promos all the participants have to do (Daniel is running his hand through his hair in his one) and in an extra little haha, fuck you to the audience it was a picture of him wagging his finger as if to say ‘Nuh-uh, no #mafsuk for you, tonight viewers’.
If it wasn’t the work of a disgruntled employee it was an hilariously unfortunately coincidence for that image to be the one frozen on screen for forever.
Seeing as there is no episode to recap, I thought it might be worth looking back on some of the show so far and commending those moments which have offered the most enjoyment. So, without further ado, let us commence the Adventures in TV’s Best OF MAFSUK Awards!
Amy’s Best Outfit
Without a doubt Amy has been the standout fashion icon of the show. Bob tried hard with his elaborately adorned blazers but not a single outfit worn by anyone can compare to the unexpected appearance of the black leather jacket with the enormous pointed shoulders.
One minute she’s talking to Josh about their relationship during the final dates, the next minute she’s giving an interview to camera dressed like a sexy Herman Goering. I can’t wait to see what insane couple’s outfits she’ll make Josh wear if they make a go of it on the outside.
Slowest Burner
Gods, has there ever been a more hotly contested category? Since the show started many of the contestants have called themselves “slow burners” in an attempt to explain why they haven’t fallen in love after 3 weeks, but really there are only two candidates for this: Josh and Ant.
And since it looks like Josh has warmed to Amy since the beginning, Ant is the winner. The man petitioned to return to the experiment with Alexis, only to be totally disinterested in her.
Wettest Hanky
Oh, I know what you’re thinking – obviously this should be Bob, but he wasn’t the only one: Morag has been more than eager to shed tears at suitably dramatic moments. And what about poor Alexis? Tears over Jordon, tears over Megan, tears over Ant.
Let’s be honest though, after the commitment ceremony where Megan’s ‘cheating’ was revealed and Bob became so hysterical that the others husbands took him outside and formed a little support circle around him, it was always going to be Bob. Someone get that man a Lucozade sport.
Fun-est Bobby
The appearance of a tipsy, truth-seeking Matt at the final dinner party was both unexpected and hilarious. Merlot Matt asks the hard questions viewers wish we could ask. Merlot Matt speaks the truth to power. Merlot Matt won’t let Morag away with not loving Luke back with 100% of her heart. Merlot Matt will hold a wine goblet, lean back and roll his eyes at your nonsense.
Home(stay) Wrecker
Another hotly contested category. This year’s homestays caused more drama than expected. Matt’s mother was not swept up in her son’s new found love and grilled them like a couple of salmon before admitting that she was scared that she’d be “cut out” of Matt’s new life in the Dan’s NI mediation retreat. Amy’s mates interrogated Josh like he knew the formula for Coke.
However, nothing compared to Morag’s Mean Mate who basically told Luke he wasn’t “alpha” enough for Morag and that their relationship was doomed to failure.
Greatest Love
How to possibly determine the best of the many great love stories featured this season? By amount of time spent smooching? One solid indicator of love is how much time a person spends talking about their loved one when they’re not around and using this rubric there is one clear winner: Daniel and Northern Ireland.
There were points of this season when I wanted to scream ‘why are you even on this show? Just go and married Northern Ireland if you love it so much!’
Reddest Flag
Was it when Franky told Mar not to speak when he was speaking? When he called the writer of the anonymous letter “a bitching little bitch”? Or was it Morag telling Luke that he wasn’t really man enough for her? Really, this show had more flags than a naval Pride parade.
All things considered though, the reddest flag was probably when Nikita turned into Hulkita at the dinner party calling Jordon a “fucking Welsh *BLEEP*!” This turned out to be a real warning because we later found out that after the party Nikita displayed a level of aggression that was “unacceptable” and was removed from the experiment.
Since E4 have announced that the second part of the finale will air tonight at 9pm (fingers crossed) tomorrow will be the penultimate MAFSUK season 6 recap. Sob.
See you then viewerfriends!
