Keith is a weird one. Iris is emotionally immature. You divorce her. But you still take her out on dates. Makes no sense. I guess she ain't that bad afterall.

Iris signed up to get matched with someone that's ok with marrying a virgin. Not for sex therapy. I recall her telling Dr Pepper that this was important to her. Instead she got matched with Keith and purposely put into situations that highlighted her inadequacies. Like the stupid dice game that no one else was made to do. That I wouldn't do either. I bet you if experts knew their shit and Iris was paired with someone willing to build emotional intimacy, slowly, things what have been different. And Keith isn't the most emotionally available guy. He's no Greg. At least Iris was great support in his time of grief but I don't know what Keith brought to the table except not pushing her for sex.

Producers did that. They show what they want to and put people into boxes to fit a certain narratives and create drama. In the real world, Iris says only a few were privy to that information. Then she goes on a show where sex is brought up constantly. What is she supposed to do? She works with kids, probably uncomfortable talking about certain things and self conscious also. She needs hand holding with the right person (not Keith who values sex. A lot). Doesn't mean she's damaged goods. Iris ain't standing at the corner handing out flyers about purity. She simply doesn't have sexual experience and sees sex as sacred. Others don't. Big deal.

Going against the grain here. I don't like Keith. He's not the consumate gentleman beyond reproach. He's very wishy washy. Overly concerned about creating a gentleman narrative rather than being honest. No kuddos from me. Tell her you dislike her. Tell the experts you don't like her. Be real dude. Also, I don't hate Iris as much as you guys do. She's entitled to follow her religion. She's entitled to not want to have sex. Even married women are not obliged to have sex. Sex positive culture is all the rage but virgins shouldn't be burned to the stake. Tolerance goes both ways. And just how horrible and terrible she is as a person? - Won't share lemonade with his friends -Won't do the sex dice game. But did the edibles and soca dance -Swallowed a quarter story. Is that it? Seems pretty tame to me.

Still not jumping on the Iris hate train. But she's kind of an idiot for going on dates with a guy who dumped her on national TV. Keith never struck me, at any point, as a commitment-focused guy. He has 5 good years, at least, of hoeing around before settling down.

Here we go again. I'm got really bad vibes from Danielle. I need to watch more to but I'm not shocked if it didn't work out.

Always up to the same old tricks. Not telling Sheila that her match is raising a teenager. I guess drama means rating, right?

So Nick fucked the girl but had the nerve to yell across the house that she wasn't attracted to her? This was very cruel of him. Sonia is a better person than me. i would have torn that house down.

This is reaching Jerry Springer levels of foolishness. However, I can't wait to watch the episode as well as the FM fallout.

Why 9 episodes of this bullshit? 2 out of 3 couples were done half way through the 6 week time period. I don't like any of the contestants. None of the couple work. All i can say is thank God for the Fast Forward Button. I only have to sit through 10 minutes of this shit.

Tom is the psycho that tells you he's in love with you everyday and then one days disappears into thin air. He doesn't read as sincere to me. Nick isn't attracted to Sonia. This is reminding me of Tres and Vanessa all over agian except Nick seems to have enough decency to no want to sleep with her. As for the dog thing, total BS from production to create drama. Derek and Heather: broken beyond repair, nothing to see here.

Heather is Ashley without the bullshit. She doesn't like Derek and is making it very clear. She was probably expecting a Mr Big from Sex and the City, but instead got a mellow pot head. Derek is David without the bullshit. he knows that he wife is not felling him and confronts her directly about it. He's a bummy pot head but I can tell he has a god heart. Lilly is actually quite mature for her age. I feel sorry that she got matched with Tom. I get strong phony vibes from him. Nick does nothing for me, his meek personality is annoying. I don't think he is pushing as much as he should. It's ok to go at one's pace but its kind of inconsiderate to be that slow in moving forward in the relationship.

I don't think Tom (?) will find Lilian that attractive. I have doubts for Sonia and Nick too. And I don't understand why Lilian was chosen? She's fucking 24. Way too young to be married let alone get married at first sight.

^^I bet you none of the men selected actually applied. They were probably scouted on social media, like for the previous seasons.

I predict that no one will stay together. First one that finds a mugshot gets $100 (in monopoly money, of course)

After all that has been revealed Vanessa, the woman, is still blamed? i guess that men should never be held accountable for their bullshit. He was stringing her along from day one, for show, for social media likes or something pathetic like that. No romantic feelings but no problem with being intimate eh? wasting her time eh? Punk. I thought that Ashley was the shittiest person on this show but tres has taken that crown. he is an asshole . Point . Blank. Period. So, does Nelson believe that there were bottled up emotions? “I think so. Even after we had this discussion, I tried to reconcile with him,” she shares. “That took a lot out of me to do that. I tried to reconcile with him for weeks, maybe even months afterwards, and he was the one that said no. He wasn’t really extending himself.” ."Russell became known for his romantic gestures on Married at First Sight, especially surprising Nelson with flowers on a regular basis. She shared a funny story with The Knot that we’d like to pass along to Married at First Sight viewers. “The flowers were like once a week,” she tells us. “I used to think he was going out of his way to get flowers and things like that, and I went to go visit him at work and his coworker was like, “Oh yeah, there’s a flower guy that stops by every Wednesday.” I loved the flowers… I love getting flowers.”... ...We asked Nelson, looking back, what she believes may have caused Russell to choose to separate following the Married at First Sight experiment. “I felt the red flags the whole time,” she admits warily. Nelson acknowledges she was picking up on the “little things.” “One, we weren’t having sex out of the blue,” she tells us. “It just stopped; it was weird. I would come onto him, and he’s like ‘I’m tired,’ or ‘I have something in my eye.’... What a catch. I think he cheated. he was obsessed with sex on the first episodes but stopped being intimate out of nowhere a long period of time? Bet one of his female "friends" consolded him cause he was dealing with his "insecure" wife.... “Marriages are hard work,” she begins. “Every day an effort should be made to continue growing and connecting in love. I do agree with Tres that some things cannot be forced. Although, I was unaware during the duration of our experiment and our time after the Decision Day that Tres did not have or lost feelings for me.” It seems as though Russell and Nelson made many happy memories on Married at First Sight. We asked Nelson to tell us where things began to go wrong. ““I would definitely say intimacy played a large part in it,” she admits. “When viewers are kind of seeing me feeling… a little insecure, some of it was a reflection of how we weren’t being intimate, and that just went away. Of course in your marriage, you wanna feel sexy; you wanna feel wanted; you wanna feel like the person you’re with is actually into you that way. That just totally went away overnight, and it never came back.” I bet you, the timeframe coincides with Jenna marking her territory...

A used car salesman until the end. I feel sorry for thoese who bough into his act.

The truth about Tres finally comes out, like I've been saying from the beggining, but Vanessa is still being blamed for it? Ok. He never had romantic feelings for her. Sounds about right. That's what came across from day one. he's lucky the production was kind enough to paint him as the prince charming of the season ala Basement Ryan. Another 0-3. At least the drama is entertaining.

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion but Neil is a punk. Sam for all her faults is at least honest. I don't get not discussing the decision beforehand, unless he wanted to publicly humiliate her. His decision was the right one but he should have remained a class act till the end. Instead he comes across and petty and vindictive. I don't even like Sam but Neil was an asshole.

Neil should have done the right thing: told Sam that he was divorcing before going to the experts to publicly announce their decision. It's really childish to dump her that way as a form of revenge. I 100% agree with his decision but how he went about delivering it is kind of lame in my opinion.

Vanessa Nelson ‏@Vanessa_MAFS 2h2 hours ago Never second guess your gut. Definitely not together. I bet she's dying to tell her side of the story. She should have never been swayed by the experts and the salesman or people in general trying to make her look like she's crazy or insecure. It should have been curtains from the honeymoon. 100% sure Tres dropped his dotting husband act once the cameras stopped rolling.

@ allthelight I can only go by what I've seen. her communication with her sister what not abnormal. I have the right to my opinion on that. And besides, I'm repeating myself, a part from the Jenna incident, Vanessa has had not problem communicating with Tres. The person in the relationship with the biggest communication issue is Tres. He doesn't have the decency to tell her I don't like you/I would have preferred a white woman/you annoy me/ you're too uptight/I don't really want to be married. At least Vanessa is being truthful here... Having standards doesn't make her an unrealistic princess. This is not Ashley. Wanting your husband to want you and act like he wants you is not a big ask. Wanting him to slow down on the drinking is not a big ask either. Wondering about your future living situation shouldn't be such a sensitive topic that will annoy your husband, make him deflect and call you at your flaws.

I'm not going to judge her because of this particular scene wiht her sister. She has had several scenes with her sister where the communication was not an issue. The emphasis on her communication being problematic is her storyline. The insecure girl with abandonment issues that are going to "drive away" her perfect southern gentleman of a husband. The only time Vanessa was unwilling to communicate was when she was upset about Jenna but acted blamed it on other unimportant shit. However, she did not hesitate to talk to him about: -his past as a player -his intentions when going into the show -his drunken episode -future plans together i.e. the possibility of moving in Her expectations are not unrealistic in my opinion. Wanting a man that is committed, shows affection, initiates physical contact and is excited about living together is not asking for much.

My feelings about Tres are still the same. This is a game show to him. And Vanessa's insecurity is fuelled by Tres's disinterest in her, outside of calculated gestures that will make him look good/ or that are producer driven. Not the other way around. She initiates 90% of the physical contact and that has been going on since the honeymoon. I've wondered why so many were so harsh on Vanessa. I got why Davina was disliked but I'm not seeing what's that bad about Vanessa. IMO she got paired with someone that didn't want to get married in the first place and is being portrayed by the show as an immature cry baby with abandonment issues that are controlling her life. Personally, I think she knows what she wants and is not stupid. She's a woman with dating experience and a woman knows when a man is into you period. And Tres is not into her like that at all.
