    S17.E21: Climbing Down From Decision Day

    in Married At First Sight

    The way Michael spends his own earnings is nobody's beeswax but his. 

    As for owning being superior to renting: Would that I had the wherewithal to rent in Manhattan!

    "Go-getter"? What is that? Is a teacher a "go-getter" for teaching, or NOT a "go-getter" because chasing the dollar ain't  where it's at?

    Tattoos can hinder sex? David Beckham might be interested in knowing.

    When one deliberately, even eagerly, volunteers of one's own volition to take part in an activity, and when one can quit or leave at any time.....

    the word "forced" cannot logically be used.

    Nor does the term "arranged marriage" fit except in the strictest denotation. Culture, religion, and/or ethnicity are matched key components of traditional arranged marriages, whereas for "MAFS" such components are often ignored. 

    TL:DR: On "MAFS," ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.

    S21.E01: Chef's Test

    in Top Chef

    I never, ever liked Padma and her affectless face and voice, not to mention what I perceived as her thinking of herself as hot. 

    It's okay to say "Married At First Sight" here (dude with hat on in bed). I'd wager there's a significant overlap of fans!

    I knew Pozole Guy was going to win it all when he said he cooks from the heart.

    Lucinda (Timothy) and Richard (Andrea) should get together. 

    "Richie" has the energy (sexual and otherwise), emotional maturity, and self-knowledge to be compatible with Lucinda, whose similar traits stupid stubborn Timothy refused to value. 

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Tori (Jack) is still a blind fool. And Jack's female clients/"mates" are jealous and want Jack for themselves, so they aren't  going to say anything positive  about Tori.

    I assume Austin has a decent job and doesnt sit on the couch all day with his vape?  Obama smoked weed, so did Bush II and Bill Clinton.  I'm not saying these people were brilliant, but they did accomplish something. I think the issue is that government brainwashed people with propaganda so that many think that if someone smokes weed, they are lazy and unproductive.  But that would be like calling someone who has a glass of wine a few times a week a lazy alcoholics.  There are alcoholics and potheads, but most who drink or smoke are not.

    Understatement of the Century, even with 76 years to go.

    Three former US Presidents "did accomplish something"? As in "something not even 50 Americans have done yet since 1776"? THAT  "something"?!

    Moreover, and not to disparage the others, all accounts say Bill Clinton is in fact a genius. J/S.

    Finally, in my 74 years (yeah, lots of numbers in this post), and we're  talking 1960s included, I don't think I've actually encountered "government...propaganda" "brainwash[ing]" us to believe that "if someone smokes weed, they are lazy and unproductive."  On their way to heroin, yeah, there was that. The frying pan of "your brain on drugs," yep. But "lazy and unproductive"? Don't recall that one! 

    So I can't agree with the "many think" conclusion.

    I really dislike Richie's Andrea/Andy! She harbors grudges; thinks she is articulate when she's nonsensical; believes only she has feelings and the right to speak; accuses Richie of not understanding or listening while evidencing that exact behavior (aka, projection). 

    She refuses to see---or is too dumb to grasp---that yes, Richie was initially crude in his description of their sex life, but he was an ADULT AMONG ADULTS in what was to him a wondrous, amazing, invigorating new relationship, and as the Old Guy there, couldn't stop himself from boasting! Andrea got upset and angry because  he destroyed (in her eyes) her prim, proper, and ladylike veneer. 

    ~~~~~

    Timothy should never have come on this show. What were the odds of his meeting someone as absolutely perfect for him as Lucinda? He hit the Lottery, and he'd better take that prize and run with it!

    ~~~~~

    Tori is an idiot, and Jack is a player. He tried mightily to seduce Ridge's wife when she quizzed him.

    HA! Austin DID GO "OUT WITH A PRODUCER"! Yeah, he lied to ALL of us, but some of us weren't  fooled!

    On the preview, I think it showed Chloe saying she wanted 5 foster kids at a time. How long does she plan to foster each group?Is she planning to stay home and raise them?

    I still have 2 more hours before it is even on here, so thanks for the comments. You do really help me decide if I want to watch. 

    "Plan/planning"? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I have a friend who lives in a large home. She and her husband drink wine every day. And yes, they have a wine room. It's huge.

    I like their style! 🍷 But when these types of shows constantly warn about renovating for too specific a clientele, one must wonder about a "wine wall (or arch)."

    I think you are right about this.  She's not on coke. Believe it or not, even if she does have a drinking problem and she is the one-night stand Qween, I dont think this makes her a bad person.

    Only to her own self-esteem.

    BTW, I wasn't  suggesting that Emily uses coke. I only meant for those who were hinting at it to speak plainly!

    Without the official divorces of the official marriages---the legitimacy of which we have hammered home each season---it is unseemly at best and unethical at worst for any of the participants to be "dating," double, coincidental, or otherwise.

    For Pete's Sake, why the beating around the proverbial bush here? If there's anything untoward causing a twitching nose, of which the revelation could "ruin" a person, just say it: cocaine! 

    An "exotic dancer"? Emily?! 😂😂😂😂

    "MAFS" has a "solemn moment"? 

    Finally, modern brides don't "blush" in gowns with low-cut tops, low-cut waists, and low-cut backs. So what's a sassy pose or two?

    I  HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING REALITY SHOW (4 SEASONS TO DATE):

    So my being impatient in waiting for more Season 11 episodes (#25 & #26 up!), I've meanwhile been watching the AUS Reality series "Space Invaders"---similar to our "Hoarders," but with normal things; NO spoiled food, roaches, garbage, etc. Just overwhelming "stuff"---dolls, shoes, clothing, store inventory, books, plastic containers---one woman had 113 water bottles!---all piled or tossed or stacked absolutely everywhere! 

    A team of 3---to guide through the deleting; to assess for "treasures"; and to remodel and renovate---helps the homeowner achieve at least organization and at best a new lease on life. 

    Since I literally am in the exact same process of de-cluttering, working between these episodes, with haulers coming on 3/22, I have found this show to be inspiring, motivating, enlightening*, and entertaining! 

    * Many homeowners spiraled out of control with purchases after the death of a loved one, acquiring both unnecessary objects and body weight. This is me. 😔

    GROUP REUNION.....

    BECCA: Find your voice, dammit! Tell that lying MFer where to get off! Your intuition is CORRECT: Austin and that producer did not "meet by accident"; it was a surreptitious date! GET A D-I-V-O-R-C-E!

    ETA: Or were they Emily and Brennan?? DEMMIT, I STILL cannot get those paired names straight!

    Pre-Reunion Thoughts:

    EMILY: Thank you, Lord, for giving this girl some clear-eyed vision to see Brennan for what he is!

    BRENNAN: 🎶 LIAR, LIAR!👖ON 🔥! 🎶 Gotta love Brennan's twisted definition of "protecting": "I'm protecting you FROM NASTY ME by refraining from saying aloud what I really think of you, because it would comprise only insults." He does have an evil genius, though, for saying actual words in a correct grammatical sequence that mean nothing! Literally nothing! Take your priss-pot pursed lips and barely-suppressed rage and GTFOOH!

    BECCA: Is a First-Class MORON who now deserves every jot and tittle of Bad Austin! Get off my screen, the bothayas!

    AUSTIN: Is a First-Class GASLIGHTER who now deserves our universal opprobrium!

    CLARE: You done effed-up, Sister. Your regret was palpable, as you sat there all dolled-up in hopes of re-attracting Cameron, who being a gentleman spoke first and saved you from the embarrassment of admitting your now-unrequited affection for him. 

    CAMERON: Bike Boy's life-and-death scare concentrated his mind wonderfully enough for him to see 💡 that his endurance of Clare's cold shoulder could lead to some future warm embraces by others. 😉 See you around, "Sis"! 

    FIRST GLIMPSE AT REUNION:

    LAUREN and EMILY: Seriously with those tops, Girlfriends?! 👀 I think I'm now watching MAFS: AUSTRALIA! 😄😄😄

    BECCA: FINALLY her hair, cut and color, looks nice!

    Michael is not obligated to fix the scars on his face, like Becca is not obligated to wear a bikini that will cover her breasts entirelly for us to be happy. They are there to find a love partner, not to become America's next top model ☺️

    Well, the show is "Married at First Sight," not "Married at First Personality" or "Married at First Occupation" or "Married at First Personal Code of Ethics."

    We are shown pre-wedding scenes of participants buying gowns and tuxes to look their best. Of participants getting hair styled or "Special Day" makeup applied in order to look their best.

    Then we see the participants post-ceremony sans makeup, in sweatpants and T-shirts, in unflattering beards or bikinis, and we and they all wonder where the wonder went! 🤪
