I would too 😆🙌💯! I can see it now- Greyhound Bus stop: Married at First Sight Stockton, CA

These stupid "experts" are throwing spaghetti at the fridge at this point to see what sticks. They might as well just go to a bus stop and pair random people up for MAFS marriages. 😅🥴

It was so bizarre!! 😆💯 I think that Chloe said it as a potential way out- a tiny moment where she dropped her Disney Princess facade and oohing and awing and genuinely wanted a way out. The instant fake smile 😬 that she made after she said that to him really creeped me out- it felt kind of sinister. The whole thing was so odd and her tiny stiff little peck kiss with him after seemingly being moved to tears by being "allowed to be selfish" 🙄 was also weird. I don't think she's into him at all. Also, Michael is weird to not tell his mom about marrying Chloe- she already knows that he tried to marry a complete stranger the first time, so why would this be more shocking? He's a wuss for not being able to tell his mom. And I agree- they talk too much, especially during the massage.

Was anyone else weirded out by Chloe's delivery of "I'm terrified and I don't think I can do this" when she was having dinner with Michael, and she immediately followed it up with a fake huge smile?! She just rubs me the wrong way- very performative and measured in how she talks- she wants to sound perfect. I don't really relate to her. I prefer to watch people on reality tv who are more flawed, candid and rough around the edges.

Yeah 😄💯! Lea should've turned to the gaggle of girls in the mansion and said, "It's for me to know and you to find out!" If Golden Bachelor Kathy were there, she would've told Lea to zip it 🤐😉. And you're so right- if a girl got on Lea's bad side, the producers would've encouraged Joey to give her a 1 on 1. I think Lea is a sweet girl, but ultimately this is a competition- no one is on the show to make friends and she shouldn't have thrown the card 💌 into the fire---unless, what if that was a decoy card? 😅

I really like that this season has different body types and heights for the girls this season 🙂. I look at some of the athletic short girls on Joey's season and I can relate to them since I'm athletic and short. Those rose ceremony dress alteration expenses must've been a pain in the ass for them! 😄

Chloe seems like somebody who is putting on an act- the nonstop smiling, saying Hallmark Card style inspirational quotes to people at the wedding, performative laughter and long swooning feminine sighs. No thank you!! Too theatrical and forced. I laughed out loud when she was trying to be meaningful/profound talking to Michael's friends and said something like "learning is living and living is learning and without learning there is no life"🤔 and they boredly looked on and one interrupted and said, "So... do you want kids?" 😆. And I might be alone in this, but I think her converse sneakers ruined the outfit.

No, Lea 😄-you keep the "steal a 1 on 1 card" until your worst enemy is applying the final touch of lip gloss for her 1 on 1 and then you swoop in for the kill 💃💌! She might regret getting rid of the card.

All of these contestants are pussyfooting around what they really think and what they really want to say in order to "look good" on TV. I want answers and the contestants on this show won't give them to us. It's so frustrating to watch this show- Emily's smirks and eye rolls, Brennan's dead eyes and "taking it day by day" phrase, Becca's huge pleading eyes 🥺 staring at Austin, Austin's childish backwards baseball caps, Clare's bad blonde dye job, and Michael's completely bizarre outfits. The only thing I liked on this show was Clare's dog, and we don't even get to see that anymore 😆! How many more episodes are left of this season?! It's going on forever! By the time this ends, I'll have a fucking husband and kids! Happy Monday everybody! 😅😙

The Home Depot is the perfect place to look for men 😄! I like men who can fix things and put stuff together. Another place to look at men is the grocery store- I can spot single guys just by their cart or basket: frozen pizza, soda, Tyson Chicken Anytizers 😅. The dating app called Bumble is doing free singles mixer events called Bumble IRL every week and my goal in 2024 is to go to a few of those.

Good points! I don't know who those couples are, but best of luck to them. I will admit that I've only watched 4 seasons of MAFS and stopped watching this show for years and years in between, so I'm out of the loop on knowing which couples lasted. I read somewhere that the success rate for this show is 17%, so only a select few stay together. I don't think that this show is the right choice for someone to find a spouse- the dating apps, singles mixers, volunteering, meeting friends of friends etc are all far better options to find someone to date and eventually marry. This show is a last resort for people to get married.

I agree 😄💯! I'll say that anyone who tries out for this show is immature, impulsive and desperate by default, regardless of their intentions. I think that the couples that stay together on this show are people who've settled and are convincing themselves every day that a manipulative and self-serving reality show somehow found them love and "their person" 😏.

Great song choice, LennieBrisco 😄🙌💯!!! I bet Austin leaves his hat on 😅.

Austin said on the After Party that he typically waits 3-6 months to do anything more than kissing with a girl 😏- then why would such a slow-moving 30+ year old man sign up for Married at First Sight?! Becca's already reducing her libido to cater to Austin's low libido- no Becca! 😬😦. She's dated guys who've probably blown her back out 🔥🛏️ and now she's settling for a guy who wears backwards baseball caps 24/7 and gives chaste kisses? Get the book "He's Just Not That into You" and move on- every girl on this show! Austin needs to be honest with her about his boundaries and feelings and Becca needs to stop throwing herself at him.

Thank you so much for the link to MAFS Australia, LennieBrisco 🙌💯🤩! That was so sweet of you to find the link for me! I'm going to definitely watch some of the episodes this weekend- I've got my popcorn and tv binge watching pajamas ready 😄.

I love Married at First Sight Australia 😄🙌💯🤩! Botched plastic surgery, fuckboys aplenty, thrown wine glasses, Australian insults yelled at dinner parties, sex and affairs, and knock down drag out fights! 📺🍿😄 Nobody minces words, pussy foots around issues or forces feelings on MAFS Australia- they shoot from the hip and move on if they don't want to bone or talk to a lackluster groom or bride. I've never seen a full episode of MAFS AUS (I don't know where to find the series)- but I love to watch YouTube clips of it: I type in "MAFS AUS fights" and watch as I do my hair and makeup 😉💅💄. My favorite MAFS contestant of all time is MAFS AUS's Cyrell- she's funny, brash, small and mighty and full of explosive rage, one liners and cattiness! 😄 Also, I love that you, your daughter and hubby watch MAFS AUS and coined the term "Harrisoned" so great 😄🙌. I love watching fights and relationship drama on TV and that's why I love 90 Day Fiancé- the creme de la creme of televised dysfunctional relationships! 💯💖

I totally agree! Put Michael in a time machine and cast him on the early 2000's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"! The Fab 5 Team would have a field day with him! 😄🙌💯💅

I wonder if Chloe and Michael will have a honeymoon or if the producers will cut the budget and just have them tag along for the next fancy group date? 😏

I'm leaving this show too after it ends! Irreconcilable differences- no request for spousal support. It's not me- IT'S YOU, MAFS! 😭😤😄🙌💯 BLOCK and DELETE FROM DVR--- after Decision Day! 😅

The MAFS AUS series has some of the best fights! Sometimes I re-watch them on YouTube while I'm putting on my makeup! 😄💄

I wonder how many couples stuck it out in their terrible marriages just for the all-expense paid 1 month anniversary fancy steakhouse dinner? Cameron's huge steak and French fries dinner looked absolutely DELICIOUS! Totally worth weeks of Clare's lip injection frowns 🥴 and stiff conversation 😄😋💖🥩🍟🙌💯!

Thank you for the wedding cake photo! Sooo much edible gold- the guests probably ended up looking like they were wearing Flavor Flav's gold teeth grills after they finished eating it! 😄

Such great points 😃🙌💯! Emily only likes Brennan because he's playing hard to get and she's trying to hold onto her winning streak of making it past a 3rd date- even if her partner has zero attraction to her. I think that the couples who do make it to decision day and beyond on this show are a blend of desperation and Stockholm Syndrome. I'm sure Brennan would be animated and flirtier if he was paired with a lady that he thought was hot. Hell, we saw that he had great chemistry and happiness with a horse, so he can be fun and animated when paired with something he enjoys. She absolutely should match his effort and pull back. She looks so desperate making faces and complaining. Also, she really needs to blend her extensions better with her actual very fine hair that's too yellow for platinum blonde extensions.

I completely agree! Michael should've told the experts to screw off when they asked him to go back onto this show. He has a very flamboyant, colorful type of style and a personality that's probably an acquired taste- it won't be easy for him to find a wife- but he should try to find her on his own without this show. I predict that his second chance won't work out. This show is the definition of "settling". I'm in my 30's, unmarried and I find dating apps to be annoying sometimes, but I am an amazing catch in every regard, and I'll be dammed if I ever let some sleazy tv "experts" pick a man for me out of a file of leftover, lackluster men. These women should drop their guys, update their dating profiles and move on from these shit show marriages. 🏃‍♀️🛅🚫💍👨‍🦱 And Brennan should ride off into the sunset forever with Gucci the horse 😄.

This wedding went on way too long and I was not emotionally moved by it at all. Leslie looked great in her metallic eyeshadow and pewter off the shoulder dress- that's a "fuck you, Gerry" dress if I've ever seen one 😄🔥💃! Gerry's vows were predictably melodramatic, wordy and weepy, but what did I expect? I loved Leslie's side eye when the camera panned to her during his vows- very subtle, but she kept her cool and was poised throughout this drawn-out event. I'm sure we'll see Gerry and Teresa during their honeymoon and maybe a follow up episode on 48 Hours. 😏 (just kidding!) The Amazon product placement was sooo heavy handed- I don't even know them and they want me to scan an app on my tv and buy them a blender?! No thank you! 😅
