Did the "experts" decide to do this for the benefit of the 4 couples? 🤣 That's what they'll claim --but hell no!! I forecast that the 4 couples will live in adjacent apartments. The "experts" will insist that these "new friends and neighbors with so much in common" must hang out frequently in guy groups, ladies' groups, and as couples -to vent about their spouses (and to gossip about each other even *more* than before). It's all about creating more drama, which (of course) gets MAFS more viewers. They don't give a damn about the participants. ☹️ Edited July 17, 2019 by Crazy Bird Lady 3 Link to comment
humbleopinion July 14, 2019 Author Share July 14, 2019 Big Red Chardonney: ding dong... Hey neighbor! Iris: Hi yourself...Come on in.... BiggieBeth: Can I borrow a cup of KY ?..... Iris: What's that? BiggieB: Oh.... I forgot...I'll wait until Amber gets home from school.... Iris: Lemme ask you a question...How many boxes of condoms do you go through in a week? BigRed: So far we have been averaging one or two Costco sized boxes very few days.....we would probably need more but we have been having weekend brunch with the Fam and Daddy seems to find a reason to park his ass on our couch every evening hanging out until midnight... Iris: Just wondering.... BigRC: Well..gotta go get sexy for my man coming home from work...I am wearing too much clothing Iris: Yeah, I barely recognized you with your boobs covered and tucked inside your blouse.... 18 2 Link to comment

Wonder if they add a weekly dinner together as well, it is always fun to watch the huge fights emerge after locking them all up with free flowing alcohol not to mention the various spouses sneaking off with other partners due to chemistry. 6 Link to comment
Kiss my mutt July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 This should be interesting but they really need their own experience without running into these people everyday and to go crying and complaining to each other. I think it would be interesting to get past contestants to pick from one another and do a live in situation, instead of marriage. 6 Link to comment

I love the Aussie version. It’s illegal to marry a stranger in Australia so they’re really just playing house and “cheating” or “swapping” is less problematic. I hope they don’t go this route though as the US couples are legally married. As stupid as this show is, that’s just a new level of low for them. At least they don’t select participants with kids...yet. 1 Link to comment
Ilovepie July 15, 2019 Share July 15, 2019 I absolutely HATE this idea. This is not real life. This is just another step away from what this show started out as. It went from "social experiment" to devolving into trashy reality. I liked when they came home from the honeymoon, discussed a budget and decided WITH THEIR SPOUSE where to live based on where each person lived and what they could afford. This is just to save money on filming and to create drama, neither of which I care about. I guess they had to cut costs somewhere after adding a fourth couple and sending them all to Antigua........ 18 Link to comment

It works for former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants on Bachelor in Paradise. So far, they've had four marriages. At the rate they are going, next season the couples are all going to live together in a dorm. 11 Link to comment

I'm with you. I've said here before that I think the budget/where to live conversation is the thing that most grounds these marriages as real marriages. Without it, they're essentially playing house and not joining their lives in any real way. Like, this is kind of just The Real World except the people happen to be married. 1 8 Link to comment
Elizzikra July 17, 2019 Share July 17, 2019 Quote I've said here before that I think the budget/where to live conversation is the thing that most grounds these marriages as real marriages. Do the couples pay their own living expenses beyond rent? I'd love to see the discussions about who's paying for groceries and whether or not the can afford organic produce or have to shop at Costco. Just thinking about all the stuff you need to buy to start up a household -cleaning supplies, toiletries, etc. - that's a chunk of change too unless they drag all that sort of stuff over from their existing homes. I guess maybe the producers feel those make for boring conversations but figuring out how to prioritize where you are spending your money is one of the foundational challenges of marriage. Find a way to make it palatable tv, producers! 8 Link to comment

I went on a date with a guy a couple of months ago and he made a reference to getting up early (very early, like 5) and I said darkly "Oh no, are you a morning person?" I played it off like I was kidding but I was low-key not, because I am not a morning person. If I have to get up before, say, 6:15, I am going to be upset about it.

Popular Post Adeejay July 18, 2019 Popular Post Share July 18, 2019 Let me see if I understand this. Amber has abandonment issues, so they thought it was a good idea to pair her with a transient. Really? What on earth were they thinking?! I noticed Deonne's face lit up when she saw Greg's beautiful home. He seems nice, kind and financially secure. Talk about hitting the jackpot. 44 Link to comment
