S11.E06: I See Red Flags

[OnceSane]

Quote

As the couples enjoy the last few days of their action-packed honeymoon in Mexico, they discover more similarities and differences that will affect their marriages; one of the couples must navigate their first major fight.

Karen and Amani both looked beautiful on Unfiltered.  Pretty dresses and hairdos.  Both very classy.  P.S.  Jamie, Unfiltered is about them, not you, so stop interjecting about your marriage.  We went thru that already.  This is their time.  Please get rid of that fake mop on your head also.

Do they make JamieO look like a bag of fake hair?

[Straycat80]

So production feeds them questions to ask each other. Interesting but not surprising. 

[Empress1]

I do not like Karen’s insinuation that Miles having depression makes him less masculine. I commend Miles for talking about it on camera. He’s right that there’s a stigma in the Black community, especially among Black men, against dealing with mental health and emotion and maybe him being open will help someone else who needs it.

Last week when Christina and what’s his name went into the mud bath, he said “I’ll do anything for marriage” which I thought was very sweet and honest.

I feel like Karen's might be traditionalist and thinks that masculinity is being tough/not showing emotion. Miles is a gem for being so open about his mental health. I wish Karen could appreciate it but (at least) she wasn't openly judgmental.

The "expert" narration is so unnecessary. WE KNOW what is going on. Even if we never saw this show before in our lives. I hate them. 

[CSunshine76]

As a fellow Christina who is called “ChristinE” constantly by coworkers and strangers, I felt Christina when she immediately snapped “ChristinA” at the producer.  I do the exact same thing. It’s two different names, and it gets so old.  So on that, I feel ya girl.  On everything else, not so much. 

[Elizzikra]

As the daughter of a dentist, I appreciate this very special episode of MAFS focused on the importance of good oral hygiene...

[Hangin Out]

I’ve never seen so much brushing and flossing of teeth on t.v. In my life.  Enough already.

Brett & Olivia .. She has a lot to say.  A lot of rules and restrictions.  I’d be very surprised if they stay together.  

[Mercolleen]

"You'll always be perfect just as long as we never meet again."

That is actually a great line that Amelia wrote.

[Mercolleen]

Go away, Henry.

Yeah, I think that only bothered me because Christina hasn’t built up a lot of goodwill. I correct people when they get my name wrong too. Being bitchy to production is unnecessary though - “that question was superfluous.” Like, we are in the third decade of reality TV. She knows what it is - and that wasn’t even an invasive question. She just doesn’t seem that nice.

Oh I agree. And I’m assuming that producer has gotten her name wrong before. I let it slide a time or two, but after that it’s just enough.  I do agree about the bitchiness...and if looks could kill...oh boy. What a terrible match these so called “experts” made.

i really want Karen to redefine “masculine” and wake up to what a great catch Miles is. Girl you don’t want the kind of “masculine” that knocks up his side chick while he’s dating you...

It grosses me out SO much to see people brushing their teeth! (just me?)😜

[Kiss my mutt]

Maybe the producer hates Christine. She’s not exactly a warm person. 
 Brett is like cha-ching when Olivia told him her salary. He must make dick compared to her. He can stay home and watch porn all day or fool around on tinder. 
 

Jamie, we saw your damn season, now shuddup about it, hairball

Not just you AT ALL. It bothers me too. 

[ChiCricket]

I really want long curly hair glasses guy to scrub the bottom of his feet before he gets into bed. (I don't remember names too well.)

[Soup333]

God knows I wish they’d have matched ChristinA and Brett. Her aggressiveness and his blatant assholery would have been very entertaining. 

[ShowFan]

“It’s a massive turn on that you’re loaded!” Omg I’m dying! I will say that I loved Brett’s jokes and sense of humor in this episode so far (only watched through his convo with Olivia on how he fits into her life ..the rest DVR for tomorrow). I see him in a different light here (still an asshole but a funny one) and I do see her as more rigid. 
 

Henry is also showing his fun side! Quite the character and becoming very likable. Christina is getting on the bad side of the producers. 
 

Karen rocking an awesome bod! Still super low energy for me and boring. 
 

Amani is truly a queen! I loved how she stabbed Brett with “don’t wink at me, it’s not cute!” She is the kind of woman that every man should aspire to have by his side. Beautiful, strong, honest and loyal  

Bennett and Amelia are super adorable and have the deepest most intelligent conversations on getting to know each other. Her guitar song was lovely!

This rate your partner business is so shady

[VioletNevermind]

Dayum, ChristinA is nauseating.  What a bitch. If I were Other Woman (I don’t know people’s names), I would have told her to mind her own business and focus on her own “marriage.”

As for rating their partners, what kind of seventh grade cafeteria table Judy Blume bullshit is that?  Ridiculous. 

[cardigirl]

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting to rate your relationship. WTF? I smell a villain edit.

I think it was fine for Brett to not want to do it but he was condescending and smug when he explained why - it came off like he felt he was too sophisticated and mature to do something so “dehumanizing” but the other more plebeian couples could go ahead...

ChristinA looks like a villain in that crazy top.

[Soup333]

Brett and Christina both act like they’re above this entire experiment. Though they signed up for it. 

[VioletNevermind]

Brett hasn’t been into her from moment one, plain and simple.  He’s already laying the groundwork for not continuing the marriage and they haven’t even returned home yet.  The road ahead will be a long one for her.  Brett will damn sure make her pay for that seven rating.  You can see in his eyes that he has a sadistic, cruel streak.  Well, maybe more than a streak.  A gooey smear.

Is Karen even alive? She's so... sedate.

God Brett is an asshole.  Olivia, don’t beg the guy to spend time with you. Let him cut his damn grass with his cat.  Ass.

Karen and people like her is the reason men are scared to share their feelings and vent when they feel the need to . She was a bitch during that scene and I’m very turned off by her . Maybe he could have waited until they went home from their honeymoon to share it with her , but her response to the camera was very off putting . Having depression is not someone’s fault , but she’s insinuating that it is . 

[Elizzikra]

Good lord - more tooth brushing?!?!?!

[Soup333]

Bennett’s feet are so dirty. Reminds of that guy a few seasons ago that lived in a bus. Disgusting. 

[Mercolleen]

Does spending a week at an all-inclusive resort really count as international travel that broaden's one's horizons? 

[Jax7917]

Bretts annoying , but I thought Olivia was trying to pick a fight at dinner . She asked how much he makes and he told her , and she was like just to let you know I like to go out to eat a lot , spend A lot on vacations , buy expensive wine , buy nice things etc .. and he’s like i like cheap wine and I like to invest in something long term .. and she got pissy over it . I get that you don’t want someone who’s cheap and a tight wad , but I wouldn’t want to be with someone who always needs the most expensive , up to date stuff and I agree with him , some cheaper wines taste just as good ! 

[Straycat80]

Bennett and Amelia remind of two kids, dirty feet, the way they sit with their feet on the chair, building a tent. But so far I think they are adorable and have the most potential to stay together compared to the other couples .

I thought Brett talking about what he kept in his pockets was charming.

Looks like I'll be fast-forwarding most of next week if they're all crying at Pastor Cal.

I just can’t stop laughing at that old ass suitcase Brett is using. Who in the hell even has a suitcase like that anymore??  I guess Brett🤪

I think it's a good call to maybe wait until the honeymoon was over too, but it can be a lot to take in. That being said, I don't think Karen is a good judge of character or good communicator. Her equating masculinity with mental health shows immaturity on her part

No need to invest in luggage made in the last 50 years since he is too cheap to travel.

My grandpa lent it to him and he wants it back....

They’re unevenly yoked. She’s probably been in relationships where she’s made more money and then has felt like she has to dumb down her tastes or pay all the time. If a high income was a dealbreaker I can under why she’s upset that the experts ignored her wishes. 

[Jax7917]

I’m only up to the part where Olivia and brett are talking by the beach so I don’t know what happens after , but I actually find Olivia to be very difficult this episode . She sees her friends every single day and FaceTimes others every day too ? She seems like she doesn’t really care to have a husband .  I’m not saying don’t have your own life , but she seems really snotty while pretty much saying “ I can squeeze you in for 5 minutes every here and there .”

I have a friend who defines Masculinity the same way Karen does .. and let’s just say she’s very single , because The “ masculine “ type that she likes always likes lots of different women at once . The miles of the world are so much better! 

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m starting to wonder if next week one of the couples is going to preemptively break up (Karen and Miles).

Olivia in one shot read him the riot act.  She doesn’t want kids, she makes lots of money, therefor wants to travel all o, likes to eat out with fine foods, already wants to know what fun things they will do once they come home, blah, blah, blah.  Yeah right.  Very controlling right off the bat.  Plus, he’s just riding it out.

Yeah that was an eye-opener.  We have wondered in the past why we never see them doing anything but sitting around or talking about anything besides their "communication" - now we know!  I also found it eye-opening when Olivia was trying to get Brett to say what they'd do when they got home and he said there would be no time because they'd be filming.  I for one would rather see them going out and doing things and talking about what they please.  If they are dull or Henry won't talk just don't show as much of that scene.

Wasn't she the one who wanted to be married because she was tired of being the only one who doesn't have a "plus one" at social events?  She seems to have everything very planned out and wants him to slot right in with her plans.  Unpopular opinion coming:  I don't dislike Brett at all.  In my mind I could hear the producers telling them that someone has to bring up the "rate your marriage" talk, and I thought that he and Bennett were the only ones out of 10 people who learned something from the Amber/Dave fiasco.

Henry seemed to loosen up a little this week.  When Christina talks about wanting him to be the aggressor/make a move, does she mean sexually?  I wouldn't be able to have sex with a guy who could barely look at or talk to me.  Also I would like to snark about the fact that the worldly and sophisticated Christina did not know what a portobello mushroom is 😄 

[OnTime]

Other than Armani and Woody having sex, there was nothing new. 

We've seen the teeth brushing and marriage ratings. Why can't they just have fun? They are at a fantastic resort.
