Married At First Sight (Australia)

[LennieBriscoe]

Alyssa is clearly not intelligent. I say this because she is incapable of understanding English-language words as they are intended and in their commonly-accepted meanings. That is, she doesn't  know enough even to twist Duncan's  words. 

No matter what Duncan says, and he could be reading the proverbial phone book,  Alyssa hears only, and I do mean only, "You don't understand. Try to put yourself in my place. I have a child. I am a mother. Rinse, lather, repeat ad infinitum." 

TL; DR: Alyssa is bizarrely stupid. 

Cameron seems from the 19th C. when ranchers wanted a wife to take care of the house chores and have some hot vittles at the ready. His obdurate "I am who I am" is what should have precluded his being part of this show.

Let's play a game, called guess who.

Quote

I have a child. You do not understand because you do not have a child. My child, mine, I have it. You do not so will never understand. The child is mine. I have one. A child, mine. It is my child.

Episode 33, up now, was very interesting. Alyssa and Duncan plus Melinda and Layton make their final decisions. 

Some wedding day flashbacks/filler. Last-chance meetings with a relative (Duncan's sister looks just like him!). Alyssa mentions her father in a way I don't recall hearing before. 

Man, I forgot how loaded Layton must be, with his sweeeet car! 🚘

And on an even more superficial note: I'd  like to know what lipstick Alyssa is wearing! 💋

Episode 34 (can you believe it?!):

The "Final Vows" of the remaining 3 couples--- Evelyn and Rupert; Tahnee and Ollie; Lyndall and Cameron. Included are the Usual Suspects of long-distance, compatibility, effort, and, of course, love. 

We are also reminded vividly of Lyndall's life-long battle with Cystic Fibrosis, which I admit having forgotten. 

Episode 35 in previews looks to be a drama-filled Final Dinner Party, with Stupid Alyssa in tears yet again. Nobody cares, Dear. 

[SilverStormm]

So glad that Duncan and Lyndall came to their respective senses, what a relief for them both, talk about dodging a proverbial bullet! Alyssa & Cam both deserved the blindsides they got, haha!

All the rest worked out as expected.

Final reunion dinner party previews look chaotic; Harrison being his usual douchebag self - check, Alyssa (I have a chiiiild!) playing the victim and being a nasty piece of work to Duncan - check, Cam being a prick - check, Dan being a self-centred prat - check. As it happens over two nights, I'm going to wait until Monday and watch them both back to back.

[LennieBriscoe]

Duncan was AWESOME! I had my doubts, but he did indeed come to his senses and stayed steadfast! Alyssa had harped so much on how Duncan just didn't understand, but he understood, all right! He understood he'd  be buying a ticket for a World-Class Emotional Roller Coaster, and he decided he just didn't meet the height requirement! 😅 🎢 🤣 

And wasn't Lindall just Little Miss Steel Spine giving Cameron the boot?! "Nope, don't need to hear your words. Put 'em away." Now he can kiss his fish in peace. 😗 🐟 🤪

Evelyn kind of surprised me, because she had been so patient and pleasant with the idiot Rupert, who actually seems to think he deserved "better" than Evelyn! Ah, well, at least they were compatible at the end, haha! 💔👍

Come on, Ollie, move for Tahnee! You didn't find love in your Perth! 💳 + ✈ = 💘

Your comment re: Cam is truer than you know! 😵 😳

Thank you! It does say "35" at your link, though!

Loved how people just laughed right in Harrison's face! 

And how the Invisible Thought Bubble 💭 above Duncan said, "Dodged a bullet from the Crazy Gun, Baby!" 

Of course, now I want #36! 🦘 😄

Aaaaand...it's  up! "The Final Reunion."

I enjoyed watching the reunion episode. But it's too bad they only talked to 4 or 5 of the couples. I wish they'd made it a 2-parter and talked to everyone.

[LennieBriscoe]

That Finale was certainly  anticlimactic. I mean, the return of so many and nary a peep from them.

Is Shannon back with his Baby Mama? What's up with Josh? Is Tayla involved with Cameron? Etc.!

Thanks to LennieBriscoe for the viewing link! Such an interesting season.

Love the beautiful wedding locations and that the wedding dresses appear to be much nicer than the trashy ones we’ve been seeing on the US version the last few seasons. Although I’m curious about the rest of the season’s attire. Do they contractually ask the women to show as much skin as possible? 
 

I ended up adoring Jessie. As much as I was hoping to see he and Claire stay together, he was right not to. Not because of the kiss, but for her vicious bullying of him to cover up her lie. 
 

The truth came out about Cam, who has turned me off from the very beginning. 
 

Toxic Harrison was a sociopath. He consistently accused others of doing bad things that he was actually doing. 

[LennieBriscoe]

Cam was the biggest disappointment, being not so much a smooth-talking liar as Harrison but a cruel man who has been emotionally warped by his nutso mother. 

[Caudex]

I stopped watching a few weeks before the finale. Would anyone be willing to give me a short recap of what happened in the end? Did anyone stay together? What did Cam do?

[LennieBriscoe]

Tahnee and Ollie are together. Harrison  has a new girlfriend.
