S11.E04: What Happened Last Night?

[OnceSane]

Quote

Now that all five couples have been "Married at First Sight," it's time for them to spend their first night together as husband and wife; before setting off for the honeymoons, the couples have to meet individually with their new in-laws.

Airs August 5, 2020.

[Myrtle Urkele]

Ngl, this show has become the highlight of my week! I hope they actually get to go on vacation this episode, let's hope!🤞🏾

[humbleopinion]

Nope hold your horses...10 brides and grooms  gotta meet with the in laws for brekky/brunch/lunch before they head for Louis Armstrong (MSY)...

Bennett is wearing a mustard yellow dress to bed. Yeah, that’s sexy.

[CSunshine76]

Henry’s wife (Christina ?) when saying what she likes about HIM...he has really cool friends.

Oh lord this is a nightmare already. Awkward!

[LennieBriscoe]

I love Woody! His vibe is life!

Christina and Henry are mismatched. He seems totally indifferent to her. 

[ShowFan]

I think THE WORLD of Bennett’s view on having biological children! Absolutely my view!

YES OLIVIA! No suitcase on the bed, no shoes inside, no shoes on the bed! Aleluya

The final test...will she put her shoes in plastic bags before she packs them in her suitcase...I'm thinking she will....fingers crossed

And there was Karen lying on the bed with her shoes on. SMH.

[Straycat80]

Karen really bounced back, she was so exhausted she couldn’t take her dress off, coughing and sore throat. I like Miles Mom. 
Geez, Bennett sit at the table with your in-laws like an adult not like a five year old with your foot up on the chair.

He seems totally indifferent to life . His lack of a personality outshines her terrible personality . 

[CSunshine76]

Bennett’s mom...is she, okay? 

Bennett believes, per his sister, that It’s unethical to have children? What the hell is that?! The parents didn’t seem to be aware of that line of thinking.

[PupCal]

ngl just saying "the Christian religion" is weird. What crazy offshoot do you think they belong to?

[absolutelyido]

I hate that they have brunch with the in-laws the day after the wedding. The wedding day is probably the most stressful of their lives, why put them in another stressful situation right away? (Other than for the drama of the show I suppose.) The questions that are being asked by the families like religion and whether they want children should be discussed between the spouses before the families.

Curious to hear Bennett’s reasoning, as I’ve heard a few different approaches to this take on biological children.

I think what it means is that Bennett believes it's wrong (or "unethical") to bring more children into an overpopulated world while there are other children looking for homes. Not saying it's right or wrong. Just one way to look at it. I know some people who feel exactly that way.

Of course, I could be totally wrong and he could mean something else entirely.

[PupCal]

Can we just skip Henry and Christina's scenes and just replace them with Henry's dad? Because I love him.

[Straycat80]

Henry’s Dad really loves bring on TV. Henry definitely did not inherit his personality from Dad. 

[Brooklynista]

Oh shit!. Whew I think I just slipped into a coma listening to Henry. Better fast forward the rest of the time he's on.

[jenifaohjenny]

It’s almost uncomfortable watching Henry. Cringeworthy!! I hope he is just tired?!

It is called twilight sleep....your eyes are open but your brain zzzzzzzzzz

Henry probably has that effect on lots of people.

[rebel2u]

Haven't read the comments but... Henry's dad seems like an asshole.  If you want to tell mean, embarrassing stories, tell them about yourself. 

[gonecrackers]

Henry's dad goes over the top but Christina handled it well.

Yep.

[Jax7917]

I’ve heard it before that having biological children is “ unethical “, but that just sounds ridiculous to me . I think it’s great if someone prefers to adopt and there are plenty of people who feel that way, but wanting biological children of your own is perfectly fine too . Some people do both . 

[gonecrackers]

That 180 by Bennett on the kid issue made the whole thing seem staged.🤨🙄

Maybe Henry never learned how to talk to people because his dad never stopped talking.

I think Henry's dad is just joking and trying to be funny, but yeah, Henry being the butt of every joke is asshole behavior. Christina actually seemed to take him pretty well.

I really cannot with this pajama dress. It is an instant drier-upper.

I love that the two Black women got protective styles before the vacation.

I'm surprised to find myself really liking Woody. He and Amani are very cute together. "Don't be that person."

I keep forgetting about Olivia and Brett. I even forgot Brett's name until they showed it on screen.

[Jax7917]

Amelia and Bennett look like characters on a 1970’s scripted tv show . That pajama dress 🤦‍♀️. I’d already be divorced . 

[Kira53]

These parents really express their love for their children.  Brett seems positively different than we expected.  Henry's father is an idiot.  Christina is more open than I thought she would be.  Henry is very quiet in the edit.  Maybe Christina can find the value in a man that doesn't want to dominate her.  Henry seems to be willing to let her have the lead and she can show him the world.  Love Amelia's reaction to Bennet's mustard yellow dress.

Yep. That’s mine and my husband’s view too. Child free by choice - the world is overloaded with humans and we don’t want to contribute anything more to that burden.

Wake up Henry!  This guy needs a few drinks.  It’s Mexico.

[Elizzikra]

The only thing I love more than Karen's straw sun hat is Miles wearing Karen's straw sun hat.

[Myrtle Urkele]

I'm not really appreciating this treatment on Henry. Dad is a bit too rough with his jokes, but I think he's just a bit too introverted for this show. I don't think Hentina is down for the count yet.

Edited August 6, 2020 by Myrtle Urkele

[gonecrackers]

With the way this show rolls I would expect a Bennett/Amelia pregnancy announcement at the reunion.

Is Amelia wearing a shower cap?

Then I’m marrying her if that doesn’t work out! Except, better not be plastic bags. There are washable cloth bags for shoes that are better for the environment. We have loads of those. I’d die before I pack shoes that aren’t in their own bags 

[gonecrackers]

Brett's comments about Olivia feel forced to me.

The stain on his knee skeeved me too. Hope it was water from when he brushed his teeth or showered.

Anyone else besides me not unpack on a 1 week vacation ? ( unless it’s a dress that I need to hang .) I leave my stuff in the suitcase the whole time .

Me, too.

I use packing cubes so everything is in its place in my Away.

I do like Bennett and Amelia because they remind me of my geeky high school friends. Of course, I graduated in the late '70s, so . . .

But it really does feel like they're both trying WAY too hard to be quirky and "different." Dial it back, guys.

Me too.  It’s only shorts and tops.  Toiletries in the bathroom.

[Straycat80]

Henry needs to drink more of that Mezcal, maybe loosen him up more. I kind of feel sorry for him, he doesn’t seem right for this show. Christina should have been matched with someone more worldly and traveled. Nice job ‘experts’. 

[gonecrackers]

This episode is a snoozer.

I can't expect the average vacationer to have shoe bags...but yes, washable cloth ones are good.

PackAll has a water resistant shoe bag that I gave out  last Christmas. It comes in different colors. It got raves.

I fully unpack even if I’m at a hotel for one night. Unless I arrive at midnight and leave at 6 am ..like airport hotel when you miss a flight, I am fully unpacking. Things folded in drawers, suitcases put away, everything tidy!
