He tried to do that on day one, but apparently he didn't.

Have we seen Dr. Jessica sit down with Luke and Kate yet? Luke is deserving of the type of smackdown she gave Molly.

I believe during the move-in, Will did tell Jasmine he has lived with a woman before. Will didn't grow up in a stable, two-parent home. It sounds like he grew up in a stable single-parent home. Actually, I don't remember many details about Will's family, point, blank, period. I don't know whether his father was even at the wedding. I believe his mother was. Other female family members were there too. I wonder how Jasmine got these fairytale notions about marriage in her head, even though she's an independent woman with a master's degree. (It reminds me of an old joke I heard about a coed going to school to get an MRS degree. Disclaimer: I don't agree with or condone said joke.)

The impression I got is that Keith didn't seem willing to fix things. He has said repeatedly that he can't cook, and he doesn't really want (to learn how) to cook. He said some slick comment about the amount of dishes he has to do, even though that was something he could handle. Plus, it's been established that he, as the only male grandson, was spoiled by his grandmother and other female relatives while he was growing up, so he's used to having this stuff done for him. I can see why Kristine feels frustrated. I remember Jepthe mentioning that since his father was a rolling stone, he got his impressions about what makes up a happy marriage from The Cosby Show. That should have been a red flag to the experts. I don't think that Will being raised by a single parent would render him unable to be a decent spouse. He seems to be mature enough to be married. While Keith may not have had someone in the household to model what a functional marriage would look like, the fact that the female members in his family have been catering to him his entire life is the more significant problem.

Hmmm...I didn't even notice that: Regardless of whether or not Kate is strategically hiding her ring finger, her comments on last night's Unfiltered leave me to believe that that marriage is already kaput.

I noticed that AJ and Stephanie had an InstantPot; I heard a lot of buzz about it.

Luke, as seen on Married at First Sight! (His own bride barely recognized him at the altar though.) Keith apparently graded himself on a curve. LOL That description of Luke and Kate...wow. Did they have the spouses rate themselves in other seasons (excluding Happily Ever After)?

I wonder whether one of Kate's friends who had popped up last week was the friend who had already attended Luke's speed dating event. She'd be able to give a review. It's also interesting we haven't seen her friend elaborate on recognizing him from the speed dating event either. (Not even, "Wow! Small world, Kate!") It was apparent she had recognized Luke before Kate had. That bundt cake looked good.

If Kate were to tag along to (another) one (of) Luke's speed dating events, then Luke would have to explain that he didn't get this wife as the result of a speed dating event. He may feel that wouldn't look good for his business. 😏 On another note, I'm still cackling at the tweet upthread where someone was asking Luke via text message, "Why are you lying like that on national TV?" 😂

This is very plausible.

I had always assumed that AJ was very literal about that. It's interesting that we haven't see any other bride after the Miami season tap out early when it was apparent that it wasn't going to work (e.g. Danielle from Chicago and Molly from Boston. I've seen speculation that the participants are contractually bound for the 8 weeks, and Kate may not be able to take the kind of hit for breaching the contract. Luke said in his talking head that he has these side hustles because he had bought "too much car". (I was like, "Really? Did he not know better?") Regarding whether Luke is or is not abusive - He crossed the line when he had insinuated to the producers that Kate was drinking too much. Then when confronted on camera (in front of Dr. Pepper, so it was within a "safe space"), he backed off of those claims. If Kate really does have a drinking problem, then there should be a legitimate concern for Luke's safety (and Kate's safety) and that may have been a sufficient reason to stop the experiment. It's not good for Luke to back off the claims if what he said is true, because it'll be a disservice to him and Kate. On the other hand. if Luke had exaggerated Kate's alleged drinking problem to the producers because he's desperate for an out, then not only is it a douche thing to do, that's a slanderous thing to do. Like Kate said, Philly is a big city that feels more like small town, so it's reckless to make those claims without receipts (which Luke hesitated to produce). I'm not even going to go into his story about the high school friend who was killed by the drunk driver... That's not the first time Luke acted all big and bad away from the cameras, but backed down when confronted by an expert in front of the cameras. He did that too when Pastor Cal called him out.

Via someone from the Philly Reddit a few months ago: I bet that couple who is dunzo is Kate and Luke. (Shocking, I know.) I have a feeling the couple that is super happy together is AJ and Steph. This weekend I re-watched the wedding episodes, and I think that they were edited in a way that included some foreshadowing. Before the ceremony, Kate was saying that getting married to a stranger was one of the craziest things she has ever done. She was hoping that it'd pay off, but she wondered aloud whether this would turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes ever (paraphrased). 🤔 Luke was shown saying that he felt "110% sick" before Kate even walked down the aisle. 🤔🤔 All grooms were nervous, but I don't think any of the grooms had that extreme of an reaction. (Even AJ with his extra self was anxious in a positive way; he wanted to meet his bride! The impression I got from Luke was that he wanted to run!) On a side note, I think I spotted Luke having a mixed drink at the pre-bachelor's party gathering with the other grooms.

Luke's already doing damage control. 🤨

I see what production is doing with the episode title. 💁‍♀️

You may want to see the tweet from MAFS Fan that I posted in the Social Media thread then. 😉 The look that Kate had on her face when she asked Luke to give an example of her problematic drinking was heartbreaking. You can tell she felt blindsided, confused, and sad. I wouldn't blame her if she couldn't tell which way was up in that moment.

Remember Luke's story last night where he explained why he was weird about Kate's "drinking problem"? MAFSFan posted receipts that may poke holes in that story: He seemed sooo traumatized here...

From what we have been shown, AJ exhibits some extreme moods. Stephanie has a steep learning curve in that regard. Forgetting to use protection once? I can see that, but it apparently happened more than once. That's not a good look for either Keith or Kristine.

I think that Kate is genuinely into Luke (aside from him thinking that kissing her made him feel "repulsed"). He does look like her type. Any affection Luke is showing is probably just for the cameras. Pastor Cal's talking-to from last week made him squirm more than Kate does!

This tweet from Anthony is on point! One more apt tweet from Anthony:

Info from MAFS Fan: Re: Timing of the weddings Speculation as to why Kate doesn't just run: I agree with this tweet. I'd like to think that Stephanie and AJ are still together.

Yes. If Keith is working a job in addition to doing course work and clinicals, I don't see how he'd be able to fit in time for Kristine (and this filming schedule). On a related note, I was wondering who is a Philly native and who isn't. I know I read that AJ is from New York, and Stephanie has mentioned living in Philly for "a few years", so they're both transplants. I bet Jasmine is a native. The size of Keith's grandma's yard also looks like she's not living in a row home or a twin (or maybe in a twin but on a corner lot). Jasmine's house definitely looks like a row home, and I'm thinking it's in Mt. Airy.

When Keith said he was in nursing school (which I assumed was going to lead to him becoming an registered nurse), but he said he wanted to become a doctor, I was confused. Those are two different types of schooling. (Why would he even want to do both?)

When Pastor Cal was saying that he had never heard a MAFS spouse be so cruel to one's spouse, I was screaming at the TV, "LIES! LIES!" He may have forgotten about Nick and Sonia, but I certainly didn't!

I was under the impression that couples were supposed to remain together (at least legally and publicly) until the start of the following season, but Mia from Dallas obviously disregarded that, so who knows? ;) By the way, this proposed coupling that was squashed on the matchmaking special apparently happened anyway: Let's see whether these two will be more successful than any of the couples on the show. ;)
