So in this recap: http://www.theknotnews.com/married-at-first-sight-recap-heather-derek-issues-12031

Heather believes Derek is putting himself in an "altered state of mind", which screams pot and not cigarettes. Did she actually say that in the show? I haven't watched the latest episode yet, so I wasn't sure if it's an actual quote.

Quoting myself here...OK, I just watched the episode and there was no mention of him taking a "mind-altering substance" so I'm not sure where the article got that from but they did have it in quotation marks, like it was something she said. 

Watching the argument, they are definitely arguing over pot. No way would they be having that upsetting of a discussion over tobacco. These two are doomed. I'm having a hard time figuring out why they were ever matched in the first place.

Tom and Lily on the other hand, are so sickly sweet, I want to roll my eyes. I have hope for them, they seem to be hitting it off extremely well so far.

Sorry but IMO by telling them its a dating show is tricking them into show up and its wasting their time. They are not upfront at all about what it is they care actually doing. 

yeah they are upfront about the show when you go to meet them for the casting meeting they tell you straight out this is what the show is if your not interested in the show after the meeting you go on your way just like any other casting for a reality tv show I know this because my bestfriend got reached out to through Facebook for the first season he went to the meeting but decided the show was to serious for him he lives in New York City

Maybe the "Altered state" comment from Heather was in the episode shown to media but cut for tv airing?       Jmo...the "40's" snark by Derek must refer to pot not cigarettes haha. In the 1940 cigarettes were so accepted and popular...smoke in restaurants...movir theaters...everywhere. Pot was however very illegal and really "bad"   ...like old movie Reefer Madness haha. I really do think it is more than just cigarettes.

Well into the 1960s.  My mother often talks about how everybody in the office she worked at smoked but her.  One time we were watching Bewitched together and there was a scene where Darren's boss took the phone from his secretary and proceeded to smoke right over her head as he talked on the phone.  I said that nobody would ever be that rude, to drop ashes into some poor girl's hair.  And my mom just dryly said, "Yes they would."  Ah, the good old days.

Yeah, the more I see of the cigarettes/pot debate I have to think it is pot.  But I don't think it really matters.  Heather is looking for anything to get her out of this.  Since Derek didn't go to the casino, just idly drove by it and said "oh they have a casino" instead of actually going in and gambling, she couldn't use gambling.  When she brought up his messiness he just calmly said he'd put his towels in a pile, so she couldn't really grab onto that.  Smoking as the dealbreaker it is!

I couldn't believe she was griping at him for not unpacking his suitcase. Fine if she doesn't want to live out of a suitcase but why was she so insistent he unpack? I'm honestly not liking either of them very much, but I really really dislike Heather. She is very critical and seems very hard to please.

Yes!  Saying you're an account executive doesn't give me much. It's a pretty common title that could mean any number of things. 

I'd like to see tom's portfolio of his work and Nick's vacation rental website. Maybe he's a property manager at a beach condo complex. 

Nick and Derek's resumes are on Linkedin for anyone that has access to that:

Nick:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickyourrealtor?authType=name&authToken=oF-y&trk=prof-sb-browse_map-name

Seems pretty solid to me.  Before that he was a bartender - I can TOTALLY see him doing that, BTW!

Derek:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-schwartz-71466598?authType=name&authToken=b7qd&trk=prof-sb-browse_map-name

His present company is a shipping company - His job description is kind of sketchy - It seems to me like he's glorifying that he's a salesman for the company selling "transportation solutions".  Judging from the description he could be one of those annoying salesmen that cold call companies with "what his company could do for them" - Ugh, not exactly an "account executive", LOL.  I do love that before that he was an Admissions Rep. at an art school and before that a server at The Cheesecake Factory, LOL!   Weird, though, all of his experience is in the Pittsburgh, PA area.  WTF?  Makes me think his mom is retired in FL and he just went down there to do the show!

The most interesting and head scratching one is Heather's - She is down as an "Office Administrator" in a law firm in BOSTON, MA.  Her experience in that position is 2004-Present.  Even her education is in Massachusetts.  So much for being a flight attendant based out of Miami, unless that's a brand new career for her and she hasn't updated her Linkedin profile yet.

I really do think it is more than just cigarettes. 

Interestingly, pot was not made illegal in the US until 1937, so 1940 was just under the wire for that.

The first Surgeon General's warning on cigarettes being "hazardous" to your health came out in 1964 as I recall, and I do recall it because I was actually conscious of it since my mother and grandmother quit cold turkey together when that happened.  But smoking's popularity didn't begin to really wane in a big way until the 1990s as most offices, stores and other public establishments started restricting smoking to special areas, then no areas then pretty much nowhere except your private residence if that and perhaps outside where no one can smell the second hand smoke and complain to someone about it.

I remember when everyone in my office smoked in the 1980s, including the bosses.  We were allowed to smoke at our desks.  I quit in 1987 when the university I worked for made it against the rules to smoke at our desks anymore.  I just could not handle having to go outside so it was the push I needed.  And I did it cold turkey, too.  One of THE hardest things I've ever done in my life (but well worth it!).  Mr. Snarkle and I quit together so we had lots of support from each other.

I don't think that's this Heather. They look similar but that one says she has a son and I don't think MAFS Heather does.

Personally, I'd either lock down my social profiles or certainly not show the most recent job.

It has to be her, I'd bet my bank account on it.  The photo of her is a dead ringer, IMO (perhaps a little younger) plus she's on Derek's "sidebar" as someone who has been recently viewed by the same people.  I didn't even see that it said she had a son....The plot thickens.....Who says she couldn't have a son?  Did she ever say she didn't have any children?

I wouldn't bust up the piggy yet.  People wind up in the sidebar not because they are actually connected but because of views. You and countless other people are typing in Heather's name.  There's a bunch of Tom Wilson's in Nick's sidebar but they aren't bus Tom.

All the jobs Nick has had say to me he is far from shy/introvert. I noticed that oh so wonderful (not) world luxury, used in his profile. 

Derek, is that the right one though? Its hard to tell from the picture. Yet the title on the job matches what they say he is. I did come across this on the side https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-schwartz-b11a46b3?trk=pub-pbmap

Yeah similar but not the same Heather. 

Wanted to add to this on her, we have seen her in her uniform. I can imagine the show does check on their jobs since that wouldn't be to hard to find out if they are lying or not there.

No way is the Derek you posted him.  The one I posted has "account executive" in his title - That's way more than coincidental, plus he was on the same sidebar with the others.  I will bet my bank account on it.  I am a good sleuth!!!

That one has his picture but I was figuring it was an old one since it doesn't seem updated past a certain point. I know his title on the show says account executive. So I figured it was odd. I just can't see the picture in the other way to know if its him or not. LOL

The sidebar is influenced not by connections but by searches.  Bet all you like. The other one lines up more.

As for Boston Heather -- it's possible.  She is an AA Flight Attendant so maybe she did the office job out of college and switched. Why do I think she's from AZ? Did they mention that?  I suppose she could have a kid but looking at her private FB page, tells me otherwise.  We'll see.

That's unflattering! She should sue. /s  It's possible. I think in the photo that person looks more like Stassi from Vanderpump Rules but it's a generic bitchy blonde look.

LOL, I don't know if it is her but it sure reminds me of her.  Hard to say.  What a coincidence if it's not her.  How many Heather Seidels are there out there that would look that much alike?  Truth is stranger than fiction, though!

If that is his sure is a different wording than what we see on the show now huh? LOL I would never put someone down for that job since its what my husband had done for years and still does it but with maintenance on a school but the way the show words what he does is making it like its some upscale type of job compared to construction of any kind. Which I can more see him doing labor work than designing yacht interiors LOL

No the second Derek is the correct one the picture attached is this

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAXrAAAAJDRjMTg1NjZjLTM3Y2It

 

and listed for education is

Quote

Defense Language Institute

Iranian/Persian Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics

While at the Defensive Language Institute I studied and successfully learned to read, write and speak Persian-Farsi while serving in the United States Navy

Sound familiar, there is a huge gap in his education as he went back to study from 2012-2015

 

Now for a laugh he was a rapper and video game blogger from  2010 - 2014

Here's one of his clips look at 0.42

Didn't Heather say she likes hip-hop? What might have been...

LMAO OMG that was so damn bad. It did say on his profile on the MAFS site that he like working on his music in the studio or something like that. I was wondering what that meant and now I see. Its really, REALLY bad rapping. Dude must be high when he comes up with that stuff (sorry couldn't help it). LOL I will stick to listening to what I like and when my husband plays guitar or bass. LMAO 

ctbabe, Heather did say she liked hip hop. Yet I don't think that is the kind she would enjoy. Yet I kind of found it funny that is what she liked. LOL

That photo doesn't appear when I look at that profile.  I think he probably has different profiles for different purposes - That's not uncommon on Linkedin.  It's like having different resumes for different types of jobs.  This one has no mention of "account executive".  This may be a profile he uses for other purposes or it's outdated - He obviously hasn't updated it recently.  It says he is "currently a student" which if he graduated in 2015 tells me he hasn't used this one lately.  He was probably trying to get a job as a reporter somewhere when he set that one up.

Seeing all this makes me think that it's only recently that Derek has gotten himself together in terms of a career.

The one with account executive in it is located in Pennsylvania, too.  Aren't all these people based in Miami, FL, or are they importing people from out of state? 

Nothing says some of them couldn't have originally come from somewhere else and recently transplanted to Miami.  I wonder about Derek because it looks like maybe his mother retired to Florida - Maybe he relocated along with her.  Who knows?  It's fun to think about.  All speculation to go along with the title of this thread!

Nothing in the Linked in profile you linked matches Derek except his name and title and there is a picture attached to the profile and its clearly not him. Whereas the other one is all in Florida includes a gap for time in Navy and mentions his language skills it seems clear that the first profile is not the same Derek.

I've been okay with these Unfiltered things so far, but omg, tonight Jamie was unbearable. She did have that laugh-a-minute thing going on. Huge, open-mouth, head-thrown-back, loud laughing. And her over the top, wide-eyed enthusiasm is just so ridiculous.

If the producer would help her tone it back by about a thousand and teach her the right words to emphasize, she'd actually be a great host.  But without that, she just sounds shocked, shocked! that people cast on a show called "Married at First Sight" would marry a complete shtranger!  That's just cuh-rayzee! So titillating!  She leans forward anxiously, in breathless anticipation to hear what it was like to spend the night with a complete shtranger!  The very idea of it all is so outrageous that it takes oral gymnastics to say it!  Mouth agog, eyes wild, she questions the couples, their friends, their family and is by turns amazed! shocked! and delightfully amused! by their answers.  It's exhausting.  And yet I watch.

For laughs...

So ever since someone posted the link to Derek's music in this forum, the number of views have exponentially increased. As at last night it had 300views, now it has over 4,500views. I think we all deserve a bottle of wine or a wrap of joint each.. haaaaa

Pastor Calvin trying to lay the smackdown on Heather! There is NO way this marriage is going to work out. Heather will push and push until Derek is finally the one to call it quits and then she will feel like it's not her fault because Derek gave up.

She seems really uptight, not able to go with the flow, not happy if things don't go exactly her way. Also, she was smirking a bit about the flirting accusation. Just another dig at Derek that he's not her type.

Heather is just over it. I wish these folks would realize that marriage takes work and compromise, and twice as much so when you're married to someone you don't know. They need to take the pressure off and focus on getting to know each other and accept that there are going to be bumps in the road.

Somehow in my view I was not able to see the photos.  Perhaps you have to be a paying member to see them.  If I had seen them I would have known better.

Heather does not know who her enemy is!

She said if she and Derek were dating, she would not go out with Derek on a second date.  She is kind of missing the point of this bold social experiment, and the producers are trying to convince viewers that since they are married they have incentive to 'go on a second date'.  Heather is as cavalier about divorce, which undermines the experiment.

She has plenty of enemies, but Derek is not one of them.
