I look at them as fakers who are there to "act like" marriage counselors. I know they're probably stuck with who they get, but if they took an actual interest rather than just doling out trite generic "advice" they might have a more interesting show!

And this is my problem with the "experts" - I don't expect them to look through hours of film, but they should check in with the people who do to see if there's anything interesting going on. And it's kind of obvious to me that they don't.

Nor would she giggle over her opposite shoulder when Dorit started . . . oh wait, she did 😂

I can't see Kyle and Boz being besties of course, but didn't Kyle think they were friendly until she found out was Boz was saying about her?

So is there a secret online boutique for the wealthy, whilst we plebes get cheap capsule clothes and cheesy patches, or did her swanky designer come up with the crap on her website? Do people who are buying exclusive, ridiculously expensive clothes want to buy them online, or go in person to get champagne, tailoring, etc.?

Yep - and maybe Dorit saw her coming and that's why she ran up and spent 45 minutes "looking for a chain" 😂

The "experts" just continue to act as if everyone is here for the Right Reasons, as they used to say on The Bachelor. Even if the participants let it be known during the interview process that they were not!

I agree with your assessment of why they are together. If they had been matched I think David would have been into it for sure, Madison is iffy. She might have found that she enjoyed working out with him, etc, and he was dressed nice, with pony down for the wedding. If I were on this show I'd never say I wanted someone who looked "edgy" (Michelle's word from the beginning) because I'd be scared of what they would think that means. (Hello, I'm Michael! 😄). David looked nice at the wedding, and if it were me and he said that he lived in his parents' basement to save money I could have given the benefit of the doubt, and he said he was a "social smoker" which again - we'll see. What would have put me off in Michelle's shoes was the fact that when they talked about why they were matched all he could say -several times- was "hot blonde" - nothing about what he was looking for except that. He could have said exactly the same to Madison (who would have replied, "I know" 😂) and therefore we know he would have been just as pleased if he had been matched with her. He wasn't looking for anything else! Although the heavy drinking was probably a plus in his book! 😃

Haha I never said she wasn't a faker, just that I liked her better than Juan from the beginning 😄. And I did like how she calmly told Madison off!

Thomas cheated on an actual relationship - not on his MAFS contract, which is what I am referring to 😂. (And I left the bit about Karla up there because I have liked her better than Juan from the start! 😃)

I thought this seemed an obvious case of production giving them different times to arrive! Kyle came in and apologized for being late, but no one else was there for a while after that, and Dorit didn't even seem to realize that they had been there for more than a minute. In spite of Sutton's heavy sighs 😄 Garcelle's as much of a "shady lady" as the rest of them - she just gets away with it for some reason! 6. She didn't actually leave for ages, and enjoyed having the bulk of the televised guests surrounding her on the bench in the hallway by the door. (Lisa Rinna in a past season actually told Sutton in front of everyone, "Get the fuck out of my house!" and she didn't leave) Haha I think Sutton did that! 😄. But I also think that whoever said that Dorit is bad at joking (Garcelle?) was right on!

I agree - the show was better and more real before they did that. But as Thomas said, "We are here to be married" and as I said in a previous post, "Adult humans can wait 8 weeks for nookie" - the people involved are not keeping their part of the bargain. Specifically Michelle and David started it - neither of them did what they were hired to do.

I agree with you that the producers suck, but the whole point of the "experiment" is that they agree to get married to a stranger and live together and follow the advice of the "experts" to see if "experts" can pick them a better spouse than they were capable of on their own. Which means you're not allowed to "peace out" when you decide at the altar that your spouse is unattractive to you. You are making an agreement not to gaslight your spouse to make yourself look better. You should not be allowed to spend all the time at your own house except when you are filming. That being said - if the producers and "experts" aren't going to try to actually match couples to have a chance of success, then anything should go - if they leave when not filming, follow them and ask why, and what they are doing. If they are flirting and having sexy times with another spouse, follow and film them and ask what they are doing. The "experts" could spend a little time watching the footage and then saying, for example, "Ikechi, why are you being such an ass?" on camera for our enjoyment! They need to decide what they want this show to be! I wouldn't subscribe to Peacock for this nonsense!

I have to disagree here - they mismatch people for entertainment purposes rather than actual marriage; don't deny them their pay when they actually did something entertaining!😄 Haha I was picturing production telling him to make sure he got the spices - "Remind all the single ladies out there that you can cook!" 😃. He's way too good for Michelle!

That is the weirdest "collection" I've ever seen. Didn't we see her bringing in "designers" for her exclusive boutique - they caused her so much angst that she couldn't even sympathize with Dorit's robbery - and now it's cheap clothes and cheesy patches out of a back room? I feel misled! 😄
