I wonder if Sunny was like this all along and we were blind to the pontifications because she regularly put Meghan in her place. Now that Meghan is gone and the discussions are more leveled and nuanced, Sunny is exposing herself to be the unreasonable person in the panel.

Sunny has been so disappointing this season. She seems extremely judgmental and has unrealistic expectations of people. I'm noticing this week after week. She must have been one tough prosecutor. She expects Biden to work miracles after inheriting an absolute disaster from all fronts less than a year ago. Does she not realize that he has only 48 true Democratic senators supporting his plans? She keeps attacking him on immigration but she ignores that he was court ordered to reinstate the Stay-in-Mexico policy. She also ignores the fact that most of the Haitian migrants at the border, as heartbreaking as it was to watch, will not be granted asylum because they were already residents of other countries. She was usually spot on before, but her takes are now questionable at best. I wonder if something is going on with her.

Meghan, the supposed political expert, is suggesting that Amy McGrath count on in-state money (in Kentucky of all places) to win an election against swampy dark money Mitch McConnell??! She must think we are fools!

Meghan always fails with her gotcha interview questions. The gotcha question about the cousins is another failure. I think she needs to do a bit more research before formulating her questions. Mary Trump's book is about the life Donald and her own father had growing up, and how they were shaped by their own father's troubling persona. She clearly distanced herself from the family as her cousins were growing up so I don't see how her closeness with them is relevant. Mary Trump's book refers to an entirely different generation of Trumps. Meghan tried to hang on to Mary's response to Joy's question about her cousins, but Meghan clearly misunderstood the context. Joy didn't mean to imply that Mary would have intimate knowledge about her cousins' lives, but rather wanted Mary to provide insight on how she thought their lives were likely shaped by the family legacy. I think Mary's refusal to opine about her cousins only adds credibility to her account.

Bennett speaks for all of us there.

IN TOUCH WEEKLY Interviews BRETT AND OLIVIA: https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/who-are-brett-and-olivia-from-married-at-first-sight-meet-the-couple/ Olivia and Brett both have “no regrets” following their experience on the show. “I own my mistakes and use them as lessons about how to be a better person,” Brett added. “I wasn’t always comfortable, but I’m walking away with an important experience.” 🙄

IN TOUCH WEEKLY interviews Bennett and Amelia https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/who-are-bennett-and-amelia-on-married-at-first-sight-season-11/ “She’s a hoot,” Bennett gushes. “I wanted to be with someone who could make me laugh but also listen and share space with others. My ideal match would show me new sides of the world, while challenging me to unpack and investigate my own assumptions. I absolutely recognized these traits in my new partner.” 🥰 Sounds like these two might make it!

IN TOUCH WEEKLY interviews with Christina and Henry https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/who-are-henry-and-christina-on-married-at-first-sight-season-11/?fbclid=IwAR23jsE53hRjjfS3nOfwwy-KKaGJdqXKrVatGfdFbdkT-XSf-mKSfdd2xWc Though she says Henry usually meets that description, there were times his set-in-his-ways attitude came off as “dismissive” and difficult. “He was very routine, which is a small fraction of the stability that I asked for. I love to travel and be spontaneous sometimes and it’s important to me that I’m not the only one in the relationship creating spontaneity and fun,” OUCH, not looking good for these two.

Bennett - As sweet and charming as Bennett is, I think his schtick may get old fast. A man who only owns 1 pair of socks without holes doesn't inspire much confidence to be a stay-at-home parent. Woody - These folks were married right before the lockdowns started. Imagine trying to quarantine Woody. It may prove too much even for the strongest woman. Henry - He said he has a calm demeanor because he has been through a lot. Christine is lucky to be matched with him because she seems like the kind of person who will throw stones and then hide her hand. I can see her easily picking fights and then acting like the victim. Matching her with a hot-headed man would have been a recipe for disaster.

I didn't get the gay vibe per se, but it did cross my mind that Karen's disappointment about him being "too emotional" was actually about him being too feminine. I also find it a bit concerning that a good looking outgoing 26 year old goes on MAFS. I'm sure he can easily find a young lady in one of his social circles. MAFS typically attracts folks in their 30s or those who have had multiple relationship failures in the past. As much as I love Miles, something is a bit off about his story.

The thing I find most infuriating about this show is Whoopi taking up precious time with her incoherent ramblings. Every minute she takes up speaking, Sunny or Joy could have said something consequential to refute Meghan's ridiculous statements.

Christina better not hurt Henry, he seems like a great guy. The guy's self esteem is already low and she seems very demanding. They should matched him with someone with a sweeter disposition, like a Sonia from Miami.

That is an interesting perspective that I had not previously considered. Add to that, the fact that society does not stigmatize older men with younger women so these men can fool around for decades (all their 20s and 30s) and then "settle down" when they are tired of it.

Christina might want that male stripper back once she sees that sweet boy Henry is her husband. He might have a shot if he gets some Crest White Strips, exotic flowers and makes intense eye contact with her.

That might be an inflated title. Their income disparity is sufficiently high that the experts mentioned it in their matchmaking special. I don't think they would have said anything if he was earning six figures. I remember he said he worked for local government, would that mean he earns more or less than in the private sector? Brett also mentioned not being able to afford nice clothing after the tux shopping.
