Stephanie would have tested many guys patience with her slow speech patterns as she was endlessly, tediously seeking out the perfect sports bars just so she could keep watching the game. Just pick somewhere and go now considering she cannot cook at all and that's the only way they will eat unless he does all the cooking himself. Drove me crazy watching it.

When Jasmine and Will were laying in bed and her voiceover states she needs/demands affection he said this directly to Jasmine. If you didn't place a list of daily demands on me, the affections could be expedited. So it's clear Will is turned off with her forceful, bossy, emasculating commentary that began at the start of their marriage.

In the screening stage, Jasmine told the experts she wanted her man/new husband to be her slave and then laughed, but it's becoming clear she meant that statement. She also belittles Will every chance she gets. I don't expect Will to stay in that marriage. She never should have been selected to be on the show at all based on her slave comment.

I can't stand to watch or listen to Bethany and her partner. Could she please wipe that incessant smile off her face...it's so unsuitable for the profession. Everything is a joke to her. When they came upon the shooting victim I was shocked she didn't smile over that as well....but then at the end of that scene, she did. Ugh...
The New Orleans' series was far better. Too much cop stuff this season.

Ashley said she is a "Slow Mover" even in situations that are not stressful or rushed. She told David that in this episode. I bet he thought now this is the type of wife I've dreamed of having. LoL And how does this character trait make her a good nurse or social worker? What medical facility wants a slow mover on staff? Hope she never works in an emergency/trauma center. Maybe she changed professions due to unhappy clients in her social worker profession. I cannot imagine conversing with her in a counseling session.
She is just so blah in every way. And she got matched with David, an outgoing, fun guy who is very social and upbeat. This match had to be made because of the drama it would bring. Ashley even told the matchmaking therapists she was a slow mover in relationships at the point they were interviewing all the potential candidates.

I've had the same problem with the pages. Scrolling,, replying, refreshing all stunted. Sometimes it refreshes on its own while replying and I lose my entire reply. (i don't know how to stop "long script from running" ) They have removed ads in the past that are troublemakers.
Thanks Sea. The Long Script Running message appears on its own at the bottom of the page when things are running slowly.
Today this website is operating perfectly.

For the past 3 days this website has been arduous to read because the ads seem to be hanging my computer up to the point refreshing does not work. I close it down, reopen it and it happens again. It is very, very slow. The cause according to my computer is the "Long Script Running for the Outbrain Ads and the Ad placed in the middle of the page. I have only had this issue once before with the site and then all was well again until 3 days ago. No other website is giving me this problem...or any other problem.
Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this and if so, can it be repaired? When I stop the Long Script from running it helps until I refresh a page.

It's a shame David was matched with a woman with such a dead personality. He could not have given more to the marriage...he tried it all and then some. And then as Ashley has repeatedly pointed out, her prolonged cold & distant demeanor in terms of her affection tendencies has historically been prominent in ALL her previous relationships, which appear to be very few in number. As she said, "I wait at least two months before becoming intimate with the man I am dating, because if he cares he won't be bothered by waiting for SUCH A SMALL THING". She considers affection and romantic relations as a small factor in a relationship and it is not. Otherwise it is just a friendship. Why is this woman on the show? For drama and conflict of course...as far as the show producers are concerned. She must have done it for the money.
And Sam is absolutely crazy and repulsive, with emotionally abusive tendencies.

That's right, there is no hope for Tres because he will always roam from one woman to the next seeking affirmations that he is special, is appealing...is a catch. He will do this until he gets therapy for his abandonment issues caused by his mother leaving him.
Sam was a total disaster in every way possible. What an embarrassment for poor Neil. She showed no respect for the wedding ceremony or at the reception. I nearly got sick when she asked the guests if she had food in her teeth. Ugh....just typing that out made me nauseous once again. Her father was even horrified. Then she laid flat on the floor twice...once before walking down the aisle and again on the dance floor. Her sense of decorum is deeply flawed...well totally absent. And she thinks she is all that.
Ashley is such a princess...so she thinks anyway. It was clear in the talking heads she did prior to the selection process that she was a spoiled pampered snob and would make any man's life very difficult and stressful. She had to be selected for TV drama...as was Sam. I like Vanessa....great personality and beautiful too.

Every time I see Chris, I remember him running on the beach towards the ocean with some girl (on one of the past Bachelorette or Bachelor Pad shows) and what an unappealing sight that was to see. He was so uncoordinated and odd looking with his arms askew... and with such a strange non-athletic gait going on.

I like Dan Cox and Ashley S. together. He really is a stand out in terms of being an all around great guy. As they were being seated for their dinner date, Dan pulled out the Ashley's chair and said, "Here Ashley, I don't want you to fall down". The comment had nothing to do with alcohol, he was just being kind/caring and sincere with her. Dan does have a sense of humor, but he also has deep insights into what is happening all around him with the people in Paradise. I'm thinking the world must be a beautiful place... in Dan's mind.

I thought the red/orange dress was ugly. She looks like a street waif who has been dressed up as a prostitute. The prison tats certainly don't help with that. She's always hunched and scurrying around with bad posture. I know I'm being mean and petty but I can't help it. I stare at her scraggly hair and extensions and just want to chop it off. I'm sorry for being offensive. I'll show myself out.
And Kaitlyn's blinding, over-bleached 1" long teeth. She thrives on showcasing those teeth every chance she gets. I wonder if she is afflicted with being a bleachorexic...one who never thinks their teeth are white enough, so they overdo it. Over time these people eventually wear the enamel off their teeth. Yes, this is a petty post. LOL

I was annoyed at how Kaitlyn was talking about the clothes as if she picked them out to embarrass him. She seemed to think it was a "goofy" outfit, too. It looked like a pretty normal golf ensemble, actually.
I think what I disliked most about Kaitlyn was what she considers to be her "sense of humor". She expresses it by pranking people she says she cares about, trying to embarrass and humiliate them. She's the kind of person who will cackle loudly while telling embarrassing stories about her partner, right in front of him, and think she's being hilarious. I've known people like that, people who think they're being funny, but I end up thinking they're insensitive and mean.
The way she is with one guy and brings up the other, reminds me of how much she enjoyed the boxing and sumo wrestling "dates". And how she thought Jared's black eye was so sexy. She really enjoys guys fighting over her. I think she and Shawn are perfect for each other, because he's jealous, and she LIKES that. he's the guy who's ready to beat up anyone who dares flirt with his woman, and she will find that SEXY.
I wonder about Shawn's mom. She "couldn't make it", and his sisters "raised him". It was also very strange that he was saying if his sisters didn't approve, he was not going to propose.
Backformore, that is the most insightful commentary written so far on Kaitlyn's character trait in terms of her nauseating, immature sense of humor. Well stated.

Thank you Waterlily for your sweet words. As you can probably tell from my username, I like people who are kind, which is why I oppose the mean treatment of Sean :-)
But Sean wasn't kind to Davina at the season finale. In fact he was intentionally cruel to her...just listen to all that he said about her, to her face, to Kevin, to the viewers and to the experts. And all that occurred after he initially came into the finale telling all... that he only had one concern and that was to NOT hurt Davina anymore than he had already hurt her. Then when he joined her that nite on set he did the opposite. The exact same thing happened at the stay married or get divorced show....
His manipulative nature was in overdrive as they were getting ready at her apartment for the stay married or get divorced show. He was giving Davina numerous compliments....his goal was to have her state she wanted to stay married, once they arrived on set & he was also hoping she would have only glowing compliments about him if he tried hard enough before they arrived at set. Then he would say he wanted to get a divorce....but Davina saw through him and his manipulative ways.
I did notice the spiritual advisor saw Sean for what really he is during the finale show....the advisor through his arms in the air as if to say...please Sean are not fooling me with your act.

It is hideous that Jaclyn and Jessica have to also have a divorce on record. I could really care less if Sean has it on his record. Move over DUI.
Wonder if the show pays for the divorces?
I never thought Jessica was on the show for legitimate reasons. She was acting through the entire season. And...she is seeking an acting career.
I bet the show does pay for their divorces...hope so.

This season has set the bar is set so low for the men.
Can we expect the 2 escaped felons from the Clinton Correctional Facility to be 2 0f the 3 on the show the season after Atlanta?
LOL...But you have a point because the guys this season were one step above the two escaped felons. The Ryan's and Sean were con artists for sure, and never had any pure intentions towards this process or the point of this show. They are fame/money seekers. And none of them had any meaningful relationships in the past...none of them were looking for marriage. And the "experts" are equally at fault for endorsing all of it.

Wonder if that creep Sean's comfort zone is the same as the basement in Ryan R's Mother's house.
Sean and Ryan R are both neurotically odd, maladjusted people, so yes their comfort zones are somewhat similar, but Sean is far more frail. lol
The only time I think Sean can feel (or act anything like) like a man is when he's in his "player" persona, which is his "comfort zone". Otherwise when faced with a woman that actually has needs other than sex from him, he runs away in a panic. I think Sean has gotten to an age where he truly wanted to become intimate and committed to a woman but he didn't realize until he got involved in the show how bad his phobia was about that. I do think that Davina was way too strong willed and dispassionate for Sean even if he wasn't phobic, which only made his reaction all the worse. Unfortunately, I think what Sean "learned" from this experience is that he doesn't really want a serious relationship. He'd rather stay within his own little comfort zone of casual hook ups with no intimacy/commitment. Very sad.
That is a well thought out insight into Sean's issues. You have a valid point. I do still believe he may be bi or gay though and hasn't yet accepted it within himself because of his parents.....he seemed quite worried about what his parents thought about his MAFS choice. If it weren't for the money factor, I am sure Sean would not have done the show...he would have listened to his parents. So considering how weak he is, if he is bi or gay he may be too afraid to come out due to his parents thoughts on the lifestyle. Many people do fear this situation as they come out to parents/family...sadly.

At the end of the show each person was asked to state what they had learned from the experience and Sean's response was this: He said he now knows to stay within his own comfort zone...in reference to pursuing other relationships. So, what a catch he'll be some day as he safely lives his life within his own secure little zone. And whenever he ventured away from this comfort zone, he would have panic & fleeing issues, with tears running down his face.
He did receive votes for the person who cried the most this season. It was a viewers choice question asking who cried more, Jessica or Sean. They all voted Sean.

Davina's statement about Sean not knowing who he is was clear. Sean is gay. The experts seemed oblivious to what she was implying.
And is was unbearable watching him desperately trying to portray himself as a victim. He was pathetic. Yes, it was clear he needed Davina to be his caretaker. He is weak, frail and all about being a long suffering, anxiety ridden, put upon person who never recovered from his past. And he thought these traits would make someone a good husband??!!! He wanted Kevin and the experts to see Davina as a bully. Considering what Sean put her through she handled herself with class....and she even had the experts against her, blindly not seeing Sean for what he is...a pathetic weak "man", a poser, a fast talker (both literally and figuratively) and a fraud.
The way he entered all humped over and then addressing Kevin as Mr. Frazier was manipulative and sickening to see. He gave nods to the experts in an attempt to ensure they were in his corner, as always.
It's hideous Davina has to live with a divorce in her public record...she went into this process trusting all was legit.

Sean 's parents must have overdone the praise for their Son in an effort to ease the bullying issue....once they found out about it. He needs to be praised for all things he does in life. There were endless examples of this during the season, but here are just a few:
1. Wanted praise for putting the moon section of the puzzle together. By the way, that puzzle he bought was for 8+ year olds. Odd.
2. Wanted praise for tidying up their apartment.
3. Wanted praise for hammering a simple nail into the wall when hanging the picture-less frames. And this was after he told Davina, trips to the ER are usually involved when he does handyman work. She replied OMG to that statement. He is just too much to take.
Otherwise, their relationship has consisted of putting one another down...constantly...often done/masked with humor.
Also, Sean's statement to the life coach was nauseating...he said he was nervous at the wedding and Davina held his hand...which made him feel better. I don't care for Davina either...but Sean may be a worse mate to deal with in life (weak, insecure and unmanly...not an in charge, in control type of guy). I'll bet he needs praise in his trama job as well...both from the patients and his coworkers and superiors.
I did notice Sean acts odd in social situations. And he was rocking back and forth while in a seated position at the winery while visiting with that married couple. It always appears as if he is extremely uncomfortable is all social settings.

C'mon, what real woman could resist "Boobs!", "Your boobs look big in this picture!" and "I like your boobs!" That shit is hawt!
And let's not forget this sexy comment from Sean to Davina..."Your back is like pizza dough". Makes a girl swoon!

Sean is not a romantic guy...he doesn't know how to be that type of man. He has not made one flattering comment to Davina or even one sexy comment. He does so much joking around with Davina and there is a mean flair to it. I could give examples, but all viewers of the show probably know what I am talking about here. He has some real personality issues, has little confidence in himself and is a nervous person as well. At first I thought he was a narcissist, but that is not his issue. I do feel empathy for Sean. Davina is certainly not the woman for Sean and he knows it. I don't care for Davina either, but with the right man she could be fun. With the right woman Sean might be fine as well. This was a very poor match.

The picture hanging/nail pounding segment with Sean/Davina was disturbing. Sean actually seemed nervous as he was preparing to pound a simple nail in the wall. Then after accomplishing it, he wanted Davina to praise him for it. Neither of them thought of locating a stud in the wall, so he put the nail in drywall...good thing they weren't hanging a heavy mirror or picture instead. This couple is a total fail. She is incredibly high maintenance with all her emotional neediness, as well as her need to be regarded as a precious commodity and he seems too into himself to care for another person.

I don't see it that way. I think she made it impossible for him to talk to her. Every time I noticed him trying to level with her, she would yell at the top of her lungs so he couldn't even speak. She just didn't like what he was saying, but sorry it was the truth. If she couldn't take it, that's her issue. I think after this happened several times he got fed up with this and walked out. That is exactly what I would have done if someone did that to me, and I'm really big on communication in a relationship. But enough is enough. He was done with her and I don't blame him. I am finding it very hard to find something nice to say about Jessica myself and I'm only watching her on TV, not involved in a relationship with her! She screams that she wants him to talk to her and then when he tries she makes it impossible and screams then shuts down on him altogether. That's why he called her a brick wall. Mr. Snarklepuss said she was worse than a brick wall because at least brick walls don't yell at you when you try to tell them how they make you feel. Seriously, what is so great about Jessica? I'd really like to know how she is so much nicer than Ryan because I'm having a hard time finding anything redeeming about her at this point. To me she is more a person to pity than to find attractive in any way whatsoever. He is not far behind her, in my view either.
I see Jessica the same way as you do. And her admitted poor communication skills are driving Ryan over the edge, as they would many people. I feel stressed just listening to and watching her actions and words towards Ryan. She does not listen to what he is saying. Is this a lack of interpersonal skills or a lack of intellect in knowing how to navigate basic communication lines? It was clear the money statement/accusation she directed to Ryan was the hot point, but she was oblivious to this fact. Then when they calmed down and he explained it to her, he was affirmatively nodding his head as in YES, she finally grasps this is the issue...as in it was insulting to him. But then as he was doing this...she said it yet again!!!! She said...he was down on money so he took the $100.00! Just unbelievable to see someone (Jessica) that dense...it was maddening to watch. What was interesting though, was each time she made the money accusations to Ryan, she smiled...nearly laughed...and was covering her face with her hands in an effort to hide this reaction. So, there is a lot going on with her, none of it positive.

MAFS Social Media, Spoilers & Speculation
in Married At First Sight
Why is Pastor Cal scary?!? I don't see him that why at all.
