My FACE when I read Al's description

Can it get worse, though?

Narrator: It could.

Honestly paying you to watch MAFS feels like exploitation and your union really should be standing up for you.

Thank you for taking on this viewing task so I don't have to. I look forward to cackling along with your recaps. These people all sound like a trainwreck.

Also, feeling pretty smug about heing aroace right now. Making life so much easier. 😹

I'd love to know what profiles you would write for yourselves if you were going on this show!!

Who will be paired up?? Can they swap?? I've never watched so I have no idea!

Also Also: Sara, 33, NSW/Dharug country, unemployed layabout

Sara is an accounting student and smooth-talker who's looking for love. Having not dated or worked regularly for a few years, Sara decided to go back to uni and focus on herself(/theirself? Sara also frequently questions whether gender is even worth it). Sara doesn't believe that one's worth is determined by their partner or the capital they can generate for others and is looking for a partner who agrees. As a disabled queer person, Sara is looking for someone who understands that some days the spirit is willing but the body is not. Heralding from a loud family, Sara's partner must be willing to learn a small amount of conversational Italian, if only to avoid pranks.

My cousins insist on putting MAFS on during family dinner night at nonnas so I at least know there are frequent 'dinner parties' and 'cheating' scandals. You're clearly missing some peak human interaction (sarcasm). Also last year I took an accounting unit called Management Accounting Fundamentals and had fun calling it MAFs.
