Popping in because I can't believe the After Party show is on for a freakin' hour. Why am I still half-watching? Making out my Thanksgiving shopping list has been more entertaining. As for this episode...sheesh. Are we going to have an another 0 for 5 season? Maybe Tom and Camille will say yes? Perhaps Emem & Ikechi will pretend they're a yes for the "fame", such as it is. All the other couples are dead in the water (to continue E's theme). Drama galore, yay!

No new thread, so I'll just post here. Why does Tim Twin look five years younger than Tom Twin? Tom looks kinda rough by comparison. He needs to learn about skin care. Couldn't commit to a 9-year relationship, so he's doing MAFS? I question his sincerity to this social experiment. But I'm still rooting for them. I like basement David and he was certainly enthusiastic about his bride. Though blond hair and blue eyes is not a high bar to clear. Did he say he's 36 and had owned a condo before? I have no issue with choosing to live with family, especially to save up, but he might be too settled in. Not feeling these two as a couple on first impression, but I'm usually wrong, so 🙃

I skipped the after-party show. Please tell me the gowns weren't all day-glo pink this year.

Three posts so far. This show is really rocking our worlds. I don't have much to add. Not disliking anyone but Karla, but everything's usually rosy at the weddings. I like all the men so far, which surely can't last. Allen is goodlooking but needs to do something about his weirdly configured face hair that draws attention to his weak chin. David was most improved groom for getting his man-pony under control. Ikechi's serious about his emotions. He looked better in a hat and denim jacket than a tux. I like Tom, but I'm not sure why. Madison and Michelle are practically lookalikes except for slightly different shades of extensions. Karla's dress was elegant. Will mesh boob windows go away, please? They look like screen doors; just add a few mosquitoes. I don't remember anything about Camille except that she married Tom. There are currently three political ads on my screen, and here comes one that covers most of the page. It's shaded like a boob window, so that's appropriate. Edited to add: Watching a replay of Emem's and Ikachi's wedding because I missed it earlier. She's lovely. And the flowers are gorgeous, they're sitting in a bower of lavender and purple for their first talk. Now it's Tom and Camille's turn and I still can't remember anything about her. During the slo-mo, he appears to be taking a peek down her boob window.

Apparently I missed half the show & forgot all their names, because I was also mystified reading the comments. Thanks to Kimboweena for posting a link that kickstarted my brain. Hahahaha. He's so emotional and deep, like a mud puddle. Existential breakdown coming soon when he realizes that the cameras are catching his bald spot. Yeah, as others here have already said, Karla is not authentic. Her little-girl mannerisms and cutesy gestures at the altar seemed so put-on. (I'm commenting from the future; too lazy to make a new post in the right thread.) Perhaps this means they'll be a great match, but I doubt it. Juan seems distant. But we shall see... Is having brothers named Juan Felipe and a Juan Pablo a Latino thing, like Catholics with Mary Margaret, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Louise?

Checking in late on the conversation, but nothing much left to say about this bummer of a season anyway. Horrible ending. The last episode didn't air until midnight because my local station decided to air pledge drive reruns instead. I wasn't happy (don't have Passport). Turns out PBS was warning me: don't watch, don't watch, don't watch Still, I hope there's another season because who wants to end on such a down note? Blech.

It suddenly hit me that it's been a long time, no MAFS. No word on the debut of the next season, even with two seasons already filmed? This does not bode well. The break was appreciated after the last horror show, but now I'm sort of ready for more. Just a glutton for punishment. Not another boys vs girls season, please.

Ha! I probably should have said that's what men call themselves. Sleeping around is a badge of honor for them. Unfortunately some women buy into that interpretation, too. Double standards, what are you gonna do? 🤷‍♀️

C'mon. Men are not at all called ho as often as women are. Promiscuous men are called studs.

If sued, they'd probably say, "We're not actually professionals, we just play Ph.D. Entertainers on TV." Seems like they admitted during this episode that they were clueless about what was really going on. Pastor Cal certainly had his frowny "I'm so disappointed" expression on tonight.

I was just catching up on the reunion part 1 thread and...whew. Cam is an evil mastermind, so much colluding behind the scenes, the men were probably all recruited, and behaved as badly as the women. This show is total BS. I knew that, but sheesh, it stinks. Gonna need tall boots and a big shovel to watch the next season.

As in cheap and tacky, or as in what you ordered is not at all what you got. Does that make MAFS the bargain basement of reality shows?

Trainwreck time. I think both sides are being jerks, but Emily's behavior only reinforced what Brennan said. B: "You're so negative. You hate everything." E: "I'm the most upbeat, positive person in the world!" A few minutes later: "I hate dating, I hate dating apps." B: "You're like a child." E: makes faces, won't look at him "la la la I can't hear youuuu." Cam, on the other hand, is very unrelenting and bitter, like a dog with a sour soup bone. What a fun show! P.S.: All this girl power hyping is ridiculous, and I say that as a staunch feminist.

That shot of the four pinkies dirty dancing backstage, with the camera panning to Chloe ignoring them while she scrolled through her phone, had me like I really don't care who's lying because they all seemed to have an agenda, but the women's OPTICS were the worst. My main take from this disaster was that the matchmakers really need to take the cast's physical preferences seriously (particularly the men). Too many of the matches don't get off the launch pad because of looks/chemistry. There's no time to grow into an attraction (setting aside that this cast seemed to have no honest intentions to even try). Jamie and Doug being the exception. What a dumpster fire.

Drinking, debt, lying. There's that MAFS thorough background checking in action. But they do get credit for staying together. Who knew Jamie would be the stable one? More or less. On to Chicago! Maybe we'll get an ex-con or an undercover bigamist.
