    Fix the Show

    in Married At First Sight

    I think given the template that so many shows use now (preview snippet, actual footage, recap, next preview snippet, etc.,), there's no way to change or improve this show. If they decided to really try to make decent matches and support them properly, AND change the layout of the show, we might stand a chance of seeing real people really trying to make a real go at being married. As it is right now, we have complete nonsense.

    Would you be mad at the lateness, lack of sex or the possibility that he was with someone else?

    Dude. What do you think? Your significant other is more than a few hours late with NO EXPLANATION and you'd be okay with it? ?? Even with none of the above --- out of MUTUAL RESPECT you tell your "other half " that you're okay. It's called accountability.

    ETA Jack, I didn't mean for that to come off as rude. Reading it back it seems that way to me but was never my intention.

    OK, just watched the Matchmaking episode (thank you very much to the poster who brought that to my attention), and it's verrrry interesting. My 2 big takeaways:

    1) Ashley has a degree in psychology and I would bet money that she skewed her results to the questionnaire by giving the answers she thought they wanted rather than truthfully, aaaayyyyuund,

    2) How cool to see Neil being so open to trimming his beard, and how awesome to see all his amazing and supportive friends rally around him. I can see now how beaten down he was as the marriage went on; same goes for Vanessa, for that matter.

    Here is another good excerpt from Neil's interview with The Knot where he talks about how he felt about Sam's nasty comments to him during the first few weeks:

    “I’ve never had a friendship, even like a basic friendship where somebody would say things of that nature to a person, not even just a friend. Those comments were surprising, and that’s what kinda set me back in a place where I didn’t feel safe and I couldn’t open up.”

    “Now if that’s part of a marriage… if it is, then holy crap… I might need to reevaluate getting married,” Bowlus said. “There are things that I would never say to somebody. To me, that’s the most shocking thing. It’s probably how I was raised by my mom and my grandmother; they’re extremely nice people. They’re kind and they’re cautious of your feelings and who you are as a person. To hear some of those things and be on the receiving end was very detrimental in the long run.”

    I think this shows us exactly why Neil didn't appear to "try harder to communicate" with Sam as the experiment went on.

    Shame on Pepper for glossing over this!!!!!

    Have to totally agree with this. He's classy, she's not.

    Which makes me think of the scene during their honeymoon where she says they're both nice people...HA! This, while messing with her hair and putting it up in a bun at a dining table. I see this a lot lately -- WHY would someone think this is okay? It's not, and is gross. If you know you're going to eat and your nasty mane is going to get in the way, deal with it before you enter the restaurant, please. Please.

    End of rant.

    Screen tests. Ask a question, like what their favorite color is, and if the response is, "Uuuummmmmmmmmmmmm," followed by crickets --- NEXT! !!

    I'd say Ashley looked like a hooker who caters exclusively to clowns.

    I dont know if they would want her. Clown makeup and clothing is always of a certain type, like sad, silly, happy, contemplative. I don't know if there is a type that says Mute Evil Bitch That Says Uuuummmmmmmmmmmmm.

    Here are my predictions for tonight's episode:

    1. Sam plays up the "poor me" image. When she leans in to hug Neil a voodoo doll of him with pins in it falls out of her purse.

    2. Ashley is no longer able to pack on enough makeup to cover up the fact that she really is a zombie.

    4. David comes on stage with a sexy sweet lil' southern thang that worships his every word.

    5. Vanessa finally got Tres to wear a dog collar.

    6. Neil is whisked away into the witness protection program.

    7. The experts congratulate themselves on another successful season.

    *sigh*. I just can't take this show seriously anymore.

    Excellent predictions, Paddywagon!

    I'd ammend #4 to say that David falls in love with the voodoo doll and they end up happily ever after :)

    in Married At First Sight

    Oh, I agree completely. When something else is always waiting with a swipe of your finger or a click of the mouse, why decide? And how do you decide? Decision-making is something of a lost art, anyway, especially with some of the current generation. If you don't have to choose just one of anything, why would you?

    I always told my kids that if you want the benefit from something - an education, a career, a sport, a relationship - at some point, you'll have to commit to it. No commitment = no real benefit, at least not the kind most people want. And so we have people with only bits and pieces of college picked up here and there, or constantly starting over at different jobs, or quitting a sport when it gets difficult, or having loads of failed and half-ass relationships. And wondering why they're "not happy."

    I completely agree with both of you. No pain, no gain. And that goes for actual decision making as well.

    I do tend to agree with the notion that if Ashley gave David an inch, he'd take a mile. And I also agree that some of his delusional behavior was producer driven to just have something to film. I think I've said before that I'm no fan of David, but Ashley ... ... ... I can't get my head around. Maybe she does treat all men that way (hence looking for InstaSpouse), but you'd think that an intelligent being would, at the very least for posterity, behave CIVILLY to another person ON CAMERA. We never heard her talk about her family or even initiate a single conversation except, of course, the SM date accusation. Maybe bitchiness is a symptom of something much greater in her case. Again, I didn't see the early episodes so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

    I have no idea what is being said in other forums or SM, but I'm pretty sure I have not read a single post here that hates on Ashley because she didn't give it up for a guy she finds unattractive. We find her despicable because she acted like a mute bitch 99.99% of her time on camera. That's it.

    Just a wild thought. In the matching episode, I think Dr. Pepper mentioned that they had considered Sam as a match for David. You don't suppose that David and Sam really did get together making Dr. Pepper's instinct correct. What a turn around that would be. He wouldn't mind Sam's ups and downs because he only sees the ups anyway :)

    I agree they probably weren't a good match. I really would be interested in hearing how the experts determine who is or isn't a good match. I don't think you can match people based on their flaws or on negative things that happen in their lives; you can't build off something negative. It seems like it would make more sense to build off things like shared interest, desire on having or not having kids, religious belief, homebody or person who likes going out a lot. Of course, some people are just not compatable.

    In real life, I doubt if I would have ever been matched with my husband of 21 years. We have and had a lot of differences, but somehow it works. This was my first year watching this show and my interest was more in watching people negotiate living with and marrying a complete stranger. I don't have any real investment in the outcomes or labeling people I don't know. I did find myself getting mad at Ashely, but only because I wanted to hear her apologize to David. But I do realize we don't see everything that happens and this is a crazy and unrealistic concept to begin with.

    I agree. And I definitely wouldn't have been matched with my husband. We have nothing in common other than being human and walking into a particular pub on a particular night 30 years ago. He says he was impressed because I was drinking pints like a guy and I liked his mischievous grin...the rest is history ;)

    But seriously, their soundbites for being matched are really, really lame.

    I just want to say that people around people like Sam can make you not know how to show your emotions and come off that way. Having a mom similar to Sam, I basically got to that point as a teen and was told by my mom I must be depressed and thrown into therapy. I am far from that way in my life now but just wanted to give a little insight into the other side of that kind of a situation. Yet at the same time he could be like that but I didn't feel like he was in the beginning before getting married to Sam.

    Not sure if this is relevant, and really not sure what my point is (LOL), but I have a friend from college who seemed to hate everybody but a select few. I, for some reason, was one of the few. Could never understand why she liked me and not others. Always expected she'd turn on me but she never did. She had guys falling all over her and never gave them the time of day. I guess what I'm saying is some people are really picky and know this about themselves? She maintains these close friendships still. Perhaps we all "put her in her place" early on in our relationships with her, IDK. I think maybe Sam really does see Neil as unfaltering or unflappable and that is meaningful to her. I'll shut up now because I'm confusing myself.

    I truly believe she should be sued for breach of contract. She wasted everyone's time, effort and money. I never saw the first few shows and was shocked that she could be heard saying she did not like him in the bathroom. She was horrible to him from day one. Truly, I can't believe the show actually let this go on. So freaking bizarre.

    ETA: Ashley, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I won't list the reasons why, just read this forum. Ashley's mom, I'm sorry your daughter has turned out to be such a horrible person. I don't know how Ashley can even sleep at night.

    You must have been watching on FYI like me? None of what they were talking about here with David and Ashley had happened yet.

    Yes, FYI, but I don't get why it's longer than on the other channel. It's not Jamie, either, because that started afterwards. I guess just more filler or more ads. Weird.

    I would send a condolence letter to anyone that wanted to actually be married to her.

    LOL, exactly.

    Here's where Cold, Dead Fish Bitch fits most.

    Alas, we didn't get to see David give her those 3 gifts of 2 middle fingers and a jar of wax.
