gonecrackers December 24, 2018 Share December 24, 2018 (edited) Just some things that randomly jump out at me for no apparent reason... Quote Vollmoeller is ... President and CEO of Future Force Talent Connection Publicity ? Quote Sersen similarly is inspired by her parents’ 30-year marriage and wants to find a man like her father. At 35, she’s ready to settle down and start a family. (bio clock is ticking) Baby fever ? Quote Now financially stable and emotionally ready, Guess is ready to no longer be the only single guy left in his group of friends. Will watch for walls full of framed pictures of buds. Quote An independent woman, McGriff is ambitious but aspires to find the kind of love her parents have. Possible conflict with coupling up depending on what he's expecting... Quote Sisk’s parents divorced last year. Still healing, she is pessimistic about love but remains hopeful that she’ll find the right person for her. Oh for crap's sake... no potential issues there. Quote Killingsworth’s parents have been married for more than 35 years and stayed strong despite their ups and downs. A real estate agent, she hopes to find the “gold standard” like her parents. Those are some high expectations. Warming up for a new season of snark. Edited December 24, 2018 by gonecrackers 7 Link to comment

silverspoons December 31, 2018 Share December 31, 2018 I had heard about back up couples before and wondered if one of these couples is a backup. The first article awhile ago I read only had 3 pictures of couples. AJ the CEO of the talent company and his wife were not pictured. While I much rather see a backup couple then have another Mia that you know will not work out, I hope this couple is not staged to be a success story. 5 Link to comment

gonecrackers January 1, 2019 Share January 1, 2019 I'd say maybe it's better for her to wait a bit for the reveal - at least until there's an actual 'bump' showing. But that would cut back on a lot of attention & be quite counter productive for her SM business. 4 Link to comment

LilaFowler January 2, 2019 Share January 2, 2019 I noticed that Pastor Cal said that the experiment was "seven weeks" in the intro. Wasn't it always eight weeks? This makes me wonder if one couple drops out at the wedding or during the honeymoon, then couple #4 was phased in, stuff was re-shot, etc, thereby shortening the experiment. 3 Link to comment

That is the first thing I said when I saw the experts argue, was this taped later. I saved a still of the experts during the argument on my DVR to compare the hair styles to the end of the season. Dr Pepper had some unwashed looking messy hair so that might give us a clue if this taped early on or after the season. I can;t imagine she would have that hair color and style for all 7 weeks. 6 Link to comment
Koalagirl January 2, 2019 Share January 2, 2019 I’m wondering if Luke knows Katie from his speed dating sideline because he did recognize one of the guests on the bride’s side and said that she came with a few friends to the speed dating session. Otherwise it’s an editors trick and they’re repeating that he said he knew her when he was really referring to the guest. 4 Link to comment

seacliffsal January 2, 2019 Share January 2, 2019 As soon as they went into all of Luke's sidelines to make more money, I kind of wondered if that was his motivation for doing this show (as they do get paid something). If so, I would expect the "experts" to have been able to figure that out. Oh, wait... 12 Link to comment
Kiss my mutt January 2, 2019 Share January 2, 2019 I saw that! How appalling. I mean, where do you go from that? What a complete asshole to verbalize that. I think Luke was dead inside way before he met Kate. No one deserves to be spoken to that way. 16 Link to comment

As you said, there is no way to walk this back. Even though later he said he cared about her. Maybe there are some extenuating circumstances like he’s heard some gossip about her (slut-shaming) or he knows someone she used to date (insecurity). Or hell, maybe he’s not over an ex of his. I don’t know but I do know she’ll never feel safe in that relationship after this. Anyone who can say something that fucked up could easily do it again. And probably will. 12 Link to comment

Yeah No January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 On 1/2/2019 at 2:52 AM, Soup333 said: Um, have y’all seen this trailer? This and the above hints make me suspect that Kate and Luke drop out early and the whole drawn out “argument” the experts had about having four couples was after the fact drama to explain how they end up with three anyway. I just read this thread for the first time. I figured that the 4th couple was insurance in case one couple backed out early but I didn't consider that the "argument" was done after the fact and retro-fitted into the show. Brilliant deduction, I believe that. What I'm not so sure about is which couple it is. Kate and Luke seem like the likely choice right now because of his hurtful comment, but I'm still not willing to forget about how insufferable AJ is and how fed up with him Stephanie is going to get very soon. So I guess we'll find out soon enough. 3 Link to comment
Yeah No January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 Upon watching the "argument" in episode 0 over again, I suspect that Stephanie and AJ were the 4th couple added later because they seemed to be under the most contention. Pastor Cal was unwilling to let go of Will and Jasmine, but they were already chosen and probably in their first week or so of marriage when that was filmed. Maybe they wanted him to look right for a change since he's so often wrong, so I'm wondering if Will/Jasmine end up being an OK match, at least at the time the "argument" was filmed. Pepper liked Christine and Keith and no one wanted to let them go. Maybe at the time of filming that discussion their relationship seemed positive. Jessica wanted to fight for Luke and Kate, but then said that "at least on paper" they lined up, making me think she wanted to clarify that they might not mesh in person. Did she already know something about how poorly they meshed in person when she said that? Cal defended Kate but then said, "If Luke can find her attractive" they had a chance. Maybe at that point he already knew he didn't find her attractive? Jessica argued against Will and Jasmine and for Stephanie and AJ and Pastor Cal did the opposite, arguing for Will and Jasmine as opposed to Stephanie and AJ. Pepper said both those couples were "worthy" of being on the show. Both Cal and Jessica said they weren't budging on their choices. Jessica's arguments seemed phony to me like she didn't really want to argue and the whole thing was staged to make it look like she was fighting for one couple and Cal was fighting for another. Meanwhile none of those couples were going anywhere. After watching this again I think perhaps Luke and Kate were indeed the couple that backed out and Stephanie and AJ were the "backup" couple added maybe a week or so afterward. I think the "real" decision that had to be made at that point was between back-ups Stephanie/AJ and Mama's boy Dorian and his "match" to fill in the hole left by Kate/Luke. I'm wondering why they didn't just scrap the first episodes of the couple that backed out and just add the backup couple as if it happened that way from the getgo. Maybe TPTB thought this "four couples" thing was better TV. Like there's more drama with a couple backing out, and based on past experience they know it keeps viewers' interest. 3 Link to comment
humbleopinion January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 MAFS production was forced to keep Felonious Ameea/Huddled under my Blankie Tristan last season to keep a full line up and didn't want to be caught in that situation for Season 8. Am guessing they had an alternate couple on retainer as a break the glass in case of emergency and when the Dumpster named Kate and Luke caught fire... they went ahead, busted the glass and pulled the fire alarm and filmed the 4th couple... Basic cable shows do not throw the baby out with the bath water, the most unfortunate situations are TV gold and what we expect from reality TV. Mia and Tristan were annoying but her arrest at DFW for her stalking, credit card fraud kept the snark focused on something in addition to you know who's hair and you know who's brows.... 5 Link to comment
LakeGal January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 I think they just went with a 4th couple from the beginning as insurance. Too many chances of another Mia/Tristan situation. They filmed the 4 brides and 4 grooms together for their bachelor/bachelorette parties. 9 Link to comment

I also found this remark about payments made to MAFS participants interesting: ..."later reports seem to contradict this statement with claims of payments up to $15,000 for appearances on the initial season. By season three, payments were up to $25,000." Edited January 8, 2019 by Crazy Bird Lady 5 Link to comment
