Okay, I am just thinking out loud here but I have always wondered why for some married women it's a big deal to take their husband's name.
If the new name is a horrible one, then I can understand, I guess. If the husband wanted to take the wife's name instead, then great.
What has always confused me, though, and which no one has ever given me a logical answer to, is that one's maiden name comes from one's FATHER!!!
So, why would a newly married female care so much about dropping her maiden name to take her husband's?
I wish I had kept my name. I can't even say I didn't know it was an option as my sister got married a few months before I did and kept hers. My only excuse is I was worried about the 7th graders I was teaching not understanding. Decades - and an entirely different profession later - that seems silly!

Question about Mya; Justin's dog:
When a dog is sent for obedience training, doesn't their owner have to participate as well?
It appeared Justin just dropped Mya off and was going to go back to pick her up in two weeks. That seems strange; doesn't Justin need training, too, so he knows how to handle Mya correctly when in contact with other dogs?
Edited to add:
It looked like Mya was put in a cage with other dogs at the training facility. Why would they put a dog needing training to not bite other dogs, with other dogs?
Apparently sending dogs off to be trained is a thing. I learned that fairly recently. The owner gets videos and does go at the end for a little hands on training.

Question: regarding Stacia asking Nate for a post-nuptial agreement. My understanding is they all sign pre-nups saying if they decide to divorce after the 8 weeks, each party leaves with what they came with. Fine, fine. So, I think Stacia is looking for an agreement from Nate for after the 8 weeks assuming they decide to stay together.
The bankruptcy, his nonchalant 'it will be resolved in 6 months' 🙄, & his 'You don't trust ya boy?' comments didn't help his case.
Any thoughts?
If any of them decide to say "yes" on Decision Day, they would be smart to consider this. And yes, his bankruptcy and flip comments shouldn't have helped (whether they did or not of course is up to her).

Ready for some more spoilers? Here we go:
Decision Day:
Stacia and Nate - Yes
Lindy and Miguel - Yes
Alexis and Justin - Yes
Krysten and Mitch - Possibly yes? (This would surprise me, tbh)
Morgan and Binh - No (This is the couple that supposedly splits up prior to Decision Day)
Current Status:
Stacia and Nate - still together
Lindy and Miguel - still together
Alexis and Justin - not together
Krysten and Mitch - not together
Morgan and Binh - obvs not together
These spoilers are all courtesy of MAFS Fan, and may or may not be accurate but this is to the best of her knowledge. People have definitely seen Stacia and Nate out and about together so they are for sure still a couple. Also, someone who lived in the same apartment building as Justin said he was definitely NOT celibate prior to the wedding (haha, omg).
Thanks so much for bringing those over. For some reason, which I could never verbalize, I'm someone who enjoys the show more when I know this. It's sort of a shame that if they actually tried to match people they could have much better results. But as long as this has been on, if any of these people still think that's what's happening, I sort of think it's on them.

I wouldn't hold my breath. He wants EVERYONE to know! The producers, the experts, the other husbands... That leaves the wedding party & after wedding brunch party. All of her friends & family MUST know! We'll see. 😉😅😂
And she wants all those same people to know she was proposed to THREE TIMES! Three, mind you.......

It looks like only the guys got strippers. I personally would do away with all the stripping even though I have nothing against strippers.
Am I the last woman in America who does not know how to work a pole?
You are not. LOL!

I'm on my third marriage and the only one where we had a joint account is the only one which has had arguments about money. IMO separate accounts is the way to go with a joint account that both parties pay into for bills etc. the amount & percentages that each party pays into that account can be agreed separately and there should be plenty to cover every bill including rent/mortgage. That way nobody gets to complain about how much is spent on makeup, hobbies etc. and the bills are all paid.
Joint accounts are from the days when only the man would go to work and are just another form of control.
DH and I have been together since 1973. We've always both worked and never had a joint account. If a couple wants a joint account, fine, but it's not the only way to go.

Just give the trophy to Keaton already. Love him. He and Alexis had the best routine of the night.
It seemed kind of rushed but maybe it’s because they only had an hour. But no behind the scenes of them learning the routine, and no talking to the choreographer! That felt weird. It just seems like they’ve changed the formula of the show so much.
I really missed seeing them work with the choreographer.

This show is doing its absolute best to lose me as a viewer. I just had to say that. Between the never ending seasons of 2 hour episodes of the same boring crap every week, the zillions of commercials to fast forward through, the disastrous matches, virtually zero hiatus between seasons and now new ridiculous so-called "relationship experts" that seem to be expert in nothing more than separation and divorce, I'm really teetering on the edge. My husband has already vowed not to watch this season. It's going to be awfully hard for me to devote that much time to watching this if my husband is not also going to watch it. It's too much. I don't want this show to be the cause of any damage to my 42 year marriage!!
DH and I will hit 49 years this summer. Maybe they need an expert who's got a long track record in a single marriage? LOL! Do we know how long Pastor Cal has been married? Just googled it - since 2009.

One of the new "experts" is separated? https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/married-at-first-sight-season-15-cast-photos-air-date-experts/
Franklin, 44, is a film producer and relationship expert. His 2016 New York Times bestselling book, The Wait, was co-written with his estranged wife, actress Meagan Good. The two married in September 2012, but Franklin filed for divorce in September 2021.
“After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected,” Good, 40, and Franklin said in a joint statement to Us Weekly at the time. “We celebrate almost a decade of marriage together and a love that is eternal. There’s no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love.”

I think Steve is 5 years older than she is. He's supposed to be 38 and she's 33.
I don't like how superior he acts either but on the other hand it doesn't help that Noi often acts like a child.
I like the idea of the couples meeting with a financial planner, but nothing that used to be taken somewhat seriously on this show is taken seriously anymore. They'd find a way to make it stupid like everything else. The closest thing to "financial planning" we've had in recent seasons was José and his ridiculous whiteboard. 🙄
Yeah, why DON'T they have them meet with a financial planner (and some other real experts)? No drama? (And yeah, that whiteboard was ridiculous. LOL!)

What does Olajuwon want? He wants to travel but wants Katina to work, go to school, cook, clean. I don’t see a yes on DD but if there is a yes it won’t last long.
Mike, Jasmina is basically saying she’s always going to be in the friend zone with you.O makes ZERO sense when he rambles on and on. He wants kids? Or does he want to travel? Or does he want a stay at home wife who cooks and cleans? The way he belittled Katina's job was horrible (I work at home and believe me, I work!). And he continues to strike me as someone who could be very scary as a spouse.

I do have to give a point to Steve for how calmly he handled the "baby in a year" announcement. And I think he surprised Noi.
Once they legally marry these "contestants" I guess there is only so much the 'experts' can do but I want them to rescue Katina before it's too late!

I agree. They don't add anything to the conversation. Even the experts were a better addition when they came on Unfiltered.
The problem is that they are talking about things that occurred in the past and since then things may have changed. It's probably difficult for the spouses to only talk about how things were in this episode when things may be very different in the present with a new person that has no idea how things have changed. How do the spouses react to what they have to say without revealing what's changed? I can see how that could be difficult. At least the experts know how to generalize the issues enough so the spouses don't feel they have to reveal any new developments, and the hosts know how to ask them how they were feeling in just that episode. But these new guests don't know how to do that, and it's awkward.
Also, Olajuwon was sporting his neck tattoo on this which is some proof that these are filmed later than the episodes themselves.
Thank you! I was puzzling over - is his neck tattooed - does he cover it - etc.? You make much more sense. LOL!

Olajuwon really knows how to shovel the shit. Shut up already. She didn’t invent the wheel. She poured some popcorn into little boxes that she bought at HomeGoods.
or that the producers bought at HomeGoods?

Sam from S3 just gave birth to twin girls on 3/3 - names are Sienna Reiko and Everly Lara.
Cortney from S2 also had a baby boy named Dale in mid-October (not sure if anyone posted that already, forgive me if so).
Jaclyn from S6 is expecting a baby girl in June.
Newish to the party here. Are they all with the person the show paired them with?

I am SOOOOO glad you posted this because I heard the same thing. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my hearing. They were talking about being "vulnerable" and crying and that is what I swore he said. I didn't get violence out of it - just a desperate man who would fake emotions to get his WIFE to do something he wanted. It doesn't make him less creepy, but I wasn't ready to describe him as violent - yet.
Now, if he really did say 'chair' it could be that the other guys didn't say anything because they were shocked or they did say something that we didn't see.
Break a tear like cry (which doesn't sound like "chair") or break a tear like go on a rampage (like "go on a tear" which does sound like "chair")? The latter isn't much better than breaking a chair.

So is this Olajuwon treating Katina like a queen? Or even better, yet another of his tests? Hey Olajuwon, the 50’s called and it wants your ideas of marriage back.
That is such a perfect way to put it! I wonder why she hasn't called him on it more directly?

It seems to me that there is a difference between being diagnosed with celiac disease and jumping on the gluten-free diet as a fad. The former folks I take very seriously (which includes a good friend); the latter folks not so much.

I had to keep glancing at my little cheat sheet which includes their ages. They keep acting like surly teenagers. I couldn't help mentally comparing to where I was at that age.

The show is the source of the contract so I would be very surprised if they didn't include a clause in there about reserving the right to terminate the contract under certain circumstances, such as the person being in violation of the terms of the contract and not fulfilling their end of the agreement. I don't think the rules would make it so that she could do anything she wants as long as she agrees to be filmed if that means all by herself having a great time with the other couples minus Chris. I think she has to play by their other rules anyway and she may not be doing that. In cases like Paige/Chris or Mindy/Zach the show at least expected them to film with the person and not storm out every time they had to be in their presence for more than 5 minutes. Paige did walk out a lot at the end but production was able to get her to sit back down with Chris as hard as that was for her. If someone is not even cooperative to that extent and wants instead to direct the narrative, I would think (even hope) that the show probably has clauses that specifically state that this is grounds for termination of the contract. Alyssa has already said repeatedly that she can't even stand being in Chris' presence so she is teetering on the edge by doing that.
I'm sure you're right! And if by any chance they don't, they will now!

MAFS Social Media, Spoilers & Speculation
in Married At First Sight
They always make it sound like everyone's in it "for the right reasons" and then we meet them. I'm debating taking this off auto record. The shame is that it could be (and maybe once was? - I haven't been watching that long) a really interesting concept if they would just play it straight.
