Emma Snyder December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 Quote Back in Denver after their honeymoon, the couples explore each other's homes; the couples grapple with ending their journey as newlyweds when they're faced with the tough decision of hitting the reset button or seeking a divorce.

kristen111 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 I don’t like Brendon or whatever his name is. He’s a cold fish and looks like he doesn’t care for Emily. She is not herself with him and is timid. He wants to decompress by himself for a few days. I would tell him to hit the road and not come back. Liking Cameron more and more. Hope to not see Orion or her anymore. He’s overly too touchy, and she has a big mouth about everything and reveals too much. 9 Link to comment
kristen111 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 (edited) Does anyone like this voting crap? Who wants to fiddle around with their phone ins? Watching the tv is enough. Brennon has checked out. Don’t know about Becca and Austin. He doesn’t look too enthused as before. Becca needs some Clearasil. Edited December 7, 2023 by kristen111 3 2 Link to comment

Stick him in the freezer and rename him Gorton. I'm with you on Cameron. Bugged me when his wifey said something like, "Your apartment is like you...but I like it." She and Gorton should've been matched; they're both withholding. But maybe that's kinda natural when you've married a total stranger. Eh. Edited December 7, 2023 by kikicat mistake 8 Link to comment

kikicat December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 (edited) I'm a diehard liberal, but boy-oh-boy did Lauren and Orion mess up their marriage with such a total focus on their culture instead of each other as just people. At least on camera, they couldn't even talk to one another. Every word was stilted. They needed to just relax and have some fun. I haven't kept up too well with previous episodes. Did they ever say what Lauren's offensive "joke" was about? Edited to add: Just went back and read the comments for last week's episode. Ha, I was very late to the party and everyone's already said it all very well. Thanks to Elizzikra for updating me. Edited December 7, 2023 by kikicat 4 1 Link to comment

We saw it. I can't really summarize it but basically in talking about racial slurs, Orion owned up to having said/sang the n-word when he was younger and more ignorant. Then he asked Lauren if she had ever used any slurs and specifically if she had ever said "redskin." She said no, and that she wasn't even sure what it meant; then she giggled and said "oh, I just looked at your face" (which as sunburned). He explained his understanding of the etiology and meaning of that term. It was downhill from there. In different news, boy oh boy is Brennan not only checked out but pissed off about something... Also unrelated, Clare is a good sport to try the Vegemite. I'm with her on that - it's revolting. Edited December 7, 2023 by Elizzikra 7 1 Link to comment

She deserves more than what he’s giving, which is nothing. He is appearing cruel to her and she shouldn’t take it. She’s a beautiful and nice girl.

JayDub1987 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 Emily, move on. You can do better. Orion and Lauren are done. I think he regrets getting married, and I think he especially regrets tying himself to a female. He said earlier in the season he had been with men and women, which is fine. But I think he’s upset that he can’t explore that now. 2 1 3 Link to comment
Elizzikra December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 Orion says "I don't want to continue the marriage but I want to continue the process."

I would feel humiliated right now. She deserves more than what he’s giving, which is nothing. He is appearing cruel to her and she shouldn’t take it. If I were Emily, I'd ... do what she's doing. She moved in and she is making a good faith effort. I hate it when they don't move in together (though there have been a few couples where I felt like they should split and live separately). But when they just don't move in and don't even try, that bothers me. 4 2 Link to comment

VioletNevermind December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 (edited) Orion is being given an amount of grace by both Lauren and Dr. Pia that I don’t think he deserves in the slightest. He’s too much of a weakling to simply admit that he regrets getting married, so he’ll base his rejection of Lauren and the marriage on Lauren’s “racism.” The fucking audacity of this asshole; it boggles my mind. It’s time for Lauren to cut her losses and simply walk away, show or no show. As for Orion, I hope the next person he dates takes his ass to school. I truly dislike Brennan. He’s not attracted to Emily and doesn’t want to say it (speaking of cowards). He was dead wrong not to move in with her and at least give her the respect of making a demonstrable effort. I enjoy Cameron. I think he’s one of those people who plays the class clown when he’s a little bit uncomfortable, but he has a good heart and is clearly successful. Clare would do well to stick it out and see where it goes. I do worry that she’s not physically attracted to him, but that can evolve over time as their connection strengthens.

I think that if he were truly committed to the process and not so afraid of how he'll be perceived on social media, he would be honest. "Right now I'm not attracted to her. What should I do about that?" He should have answered Pastor Cal honestly (kindly and tactfully but honestly) and let the "experts" show them some expertise. But instead he's checked out, covering that up with "but I'm still here" and already checked out. And he's not even managing to be polite to Emily in the process.

Thank you for posting that. I am furious with Orion and I agree with you on everything you've said. He's just too chicken to say he's in over his head with Lauren. But to use racism to a gal who probably has experienced a hell of a lot more of it than he EVER will, and I'm saying this because of specific experiences with my First Nations' community. I've seen who gets harassed amongst my friends. And it definitely wouldn't have been Orion. I'll be curious to see if friends from his past suddenly pop up online with stories of his childhood experiences. And I also think that she (forgot her name)may not be attracted to Cameron, either. Wasn't that the same for Jamie and Doug? So maybe she'll try? With maturity I've learned so much about love, especially how someone becomes more attractive when they're loved for their personality. But at their ages, I don't think I could stay married to him, either. (If he wasn't physically desirable.) That type of thinking generally comes at late 30s or in the 40s 2 5 Link to comment
pwdrpuff December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 I personally believe that Brennan reconnected with his past and might have cheated with someone else, and that’s why he can’t make eye contact with Emily.

Empress1 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 (edited) I think Becca is going to get her heart broken, sad to say. I think Austin likes her - they read like buddies - but she’s gazing starry-eyed at him and he’s not reciprocating. His eyes darted to the side when she mentioned him moving in with her and buying a place. He’s not checked out in the same way Brennan and Orion are, but I don’t think he’s going to fall in love with her. 10 hours ago, Elizzikra said: On After-Party, Emily said that Brennan got salty after the night on the honeymoon where all the couples went out and had some drinks and she was making out with him. I think he saw "life of the party" Emily and didn't like her. I think that's when he checked out. Given that he said he felt drained on the honeymoon, this tracks. Honestly, I’m not even mad (like he cares what I think, ha!) about Brennan not liking Emily. I don’t particularly like her either. Her frenemies don’t like her; based on how they talked about her, she’s kind of self-absorbed. (She did show some emotional maturity this episode though.) And what’s the saying - you can be the sweetest peach in the world but some people just don’t like peaches? I think everyone has had the experience of meeting someone, whether professionally or platonically or romantically, that they just don’t like. I know I have. What irked me about Brennan was his insistence on not saying he doesn’t like her, as though that’s kind. It’s not - as she pointed out, not saying it is saying it. She knows, so just say it. He’s also clearly not going to put forth an effort; he seems done-done. I hope we don’t have to watch her begging (metaphorically) for his affection; that’ll be uncomfortable to watch.

Jeanne222 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 So just for the record KKP announced her name 8 TIMES plus 4 TIMES they plastered her name on screen during the after party! Give or take. WHY? Something wrong there! Orion just wanted to be on tv. He’s a disgusting little twerp. What a waste he is! Brennan is really something. I would love to know what he didn’t want to say about wifey and the things he didn’t like about her. “We’re not going there!” Hummm. If she’s been ghosted before then it’s something. BO???

Rightside December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 I get that Brennan is not attracted to Emily and never seemed to be any sparks between them. He needs to try to be friends with her. I don't think any of them should be able to go back to their houses. Aren't these apartments two bedrooms? Brennan needs to put forth some effort.

It always has been (“we went out once, he never called”); we just call it something now. I can’t recall if Emily said she always gets ghosted by every man she’s ever been on a date with - if true, that’s a red flag - but if she’s just been ghosted a time or two, she’s not unusual at all. A friend of mine is inching back into dating and asked me for advice and one of the things I told her was “you’re probably going to get ghosted at some point. Try not to take it personally.” (Another was “don’t assume exclusivity ever - unless/until you and your person explicitly say you are exclusive, you should assume they’re seeing other people.”) 4 1 Link to comment

Shauna December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 I think Brennan is turned off by Emily's past and how many sexual partners she's had. I fast forward through all part of the After Party except with the guests are speaking. Same with the stupid polls that are on during the show. Austin isn't into Becca like Becca is into Austin. Clare's an asshole for her comments about Cameron's home. Cameron's an asshole for those sticky bug traps. I take spiders outside if I can catch them. If not, they live inside with me. 1 hour ago, Chalby said: I'm trying to figure out what "after party" means? Is that the name of the show? The After Party is a 30 minute show with a host asking questions to three guests. It is on immediately after MAFS. Guests are from the show or an occasional guest like the host's husband or an influencer? I don't know who they are and am annoyed because I don't care what they have to say. Clips from the show are shown and guests comment on the clips. I always wonder when the After Show is taped. The host is Keisha Knight Pulliam. It's mostly a nothing burger with the occasional spilling of tea on the side for good measure. Sometimes. 5 1 Link to comment
Retired at last December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 It's been interesting trying to figure out when the Afterparty episodes were filmed. For example, Orion clearly had his hair cut (and looks much better to me, although still not attractive in any way), and whoever had the arm cast (I get the women mixed up. Is it Emily?) Anyway, she was wearing the cast, even though she doesn't wear it on the show. And, I agree that having an extra guest who means nothing to us and whose opinion would be the same as having one of us on there, is a waste of time. A lot like those dumb panel shows that Kevin Frazier leads with sm influencers, which I never watch. It is also interesting that people can decline being on there - I had assumed it was part of their contract. So, as long as our couples are dwindling and most of the men won't appear, I guess we are stuck with those outsiders. I can't believe these people who don't want to be married, but want to continue "the process." What an idiot! (Orion) Did that work with the "f-ing good" person who wanted to still be included? I really like Cam and hate the way he is treated by Clare. She doesn't like him, doesn't want him, but wants to be on TV. She has a full-time smirk and she thinks she is so much better than he is. She isn't. It is sad seeing how little the men care about their wives. Especially when the wives are starting to really like them. It was hard watching Emily when Brennan couldn't say he wasn't attracted to her, which clearly says that he is not. Becca and Austin (I think - is he the good looking one?) seem ok, but we really haven't seen any romantic sparks there, either. But, he seems like a nice guy. I am guessing that we will see Orion and Lauren at least once more, to finalize things. Then, I don't want to see them again. Other than the times we saw Orion and Lauren making out, which were gross, I don't think anyone even kisses their partner. Certainly, no one has consummated their marriages. That might be a first. 7 Link to comment

JenE4 December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 Orion said on the Afterparty that the conversation with Dr Pia was 4 and a half hours. I was pretty surprised to hear that because it seems like it was just like 5 minutes of Orion saying he won’t be willing to open his affections and move past this—so there’s really nothing left to talk about, is there? It was frustrating as a viewer since “the hot tub incident” watching Orion vacillate between saying he’s willing to work past it and doubling down that he will never forgive her. Poor Lauren was really dragged through the wringer being so emotionally vulnerable and seemingly willing to do anything to work through it. He was just so cold and closed off to her. I almost wanted to reach through my TV and tell Lauren she’s too good to put up with this bullshit. But I really think she had it built up in her mind that her mother in heaven orchestrated this love match for her. I also keep thinking back to that group boat trip when Lauren was laying in his lap and being so smug that they were the best/strongest couple, so she probably was also mortified that within 2 days (or whatever) suddenly, oops, I was wrong about us being so mature and able to talk through anything. I mean, I think she was, but Orion seemed to keep intimating that she wasn’t as composed when the cameras aren’t around. I mean, I guess I would also try to portray myself in the best light on TV, too. I think that’s exactly what all of the couples are doing right now—especially Brennon, for instance. Everyone’s feeling a certain way but no one wants to say it on national television. Once (if?) they actually move in, maybe we’ll see the couples start to break down what’s really going on…at least in front of the mounted cameras that they will forget are there. They’ll still be on their best behavior in front of the cameramen for a while, I bet. That’s an interesting theory above (sorry, forgot to quote) about Brennon seeing “party Emily” during their night drinking. I had been thinking she seems so meek and sad with him as opposed to how we were introduced to her in the earlier episodes. She seemed to be “more herself” at the beginning of the honeymoon but now it seems like she’s just walking on eggshells and trying not to take up too much space. She’s been saying she’s just following his lead. Her friends (frenemies?) had been telling her everything can’t be her way and she needs to consider her husband. So having never been in a relationship, I think she’s just shutting down all of her own feelings and decisions and actions and just deferring to him. It’s really sad to watch. I mean, I expected she would scare off her husband and they would be the least likely to work out based on what we saw before the weddings. However, I’m sad to see them crash and burn this way with her whole personality dampened. But as I said before, I don’t think any of these people feel comfortable to just “act like themselves” yet. They’re all so stiff and formal and interact with each other like HR is watching. Loosen up, guys! By not being themselves, not only are they missing the chance to show their partner sides of them worth falling for, but they also run the risk of it ultimately not working out when they eventually do feel comfortable being themselves because this is not the person I fell in love with. 5 1 1 Link to comment
Retired at last December 7, 2023 Share December 7, 2023 Well, if you consider that the brief meeting we saw with Orion and Dr. Pia was part of a 4 1/2 hour meeting, there is a lot happening between them that we won't see. But, I think you're right that since Emily has never been in a relationship (and therefore, had NO business being selected), she is just going to follow whatever clues he gives her, and yes, lose herself completely. I do think that the party girl persona is not what her husband is looking for, but that is the real persona, so, it's not looking good for them. 6 Link to comment

Deonna (Deonna and Greg, Charlotte season) hadn't been in a relationship in ten years before the show. I think there wasn't anything wrong in selecting Emily. They both seem to like the outdoors. There is so much they could do (hiking, skiing, biking) and focus on the activity and not sitting across from each other at table! The bottom line is Breenan isn't attracted to her and there are no sparks between them. If he was willing to at least be friends with her and just get to know her. That isn't going to happen since he rushed back to his apartment. 4 1 Link to comment

They tried that on the honeymoon, and her extensions did not play well with the outdoor activities. 1 3 Link to comment
