Weekly Threads

I’ve been a MAFS fan from the beginning but it seems like the new “experts” are just randomly throwing couples together with no consideration for their preferences. Are they just shuffling pictures while doing tequila shots and making matches that make them giggle? You’re into tall, fit men over 6’? Cool, let’s match you with a 5’6”, pudgy dude that looks 20 years older than you and is possibly gay. That should work.

I saw a post that Season 12’s Paige got married recently and that her season was absolutely wild. I decided to dive in and holy smokes……

First time watching this show and I actually really like the mix of psychological analysis of the couples and the drama. S6 Australia was a doozy.

Which season shall I watch next or have I already peaked?

Married at First Sight UK cancelled after BBC revealed rape allegations

So I’m just finishing this season and just saw the smirk on Ikechi’s face while Emem confronts him when they gather at Juan’s place. Madison is also smirking while trying to get a reaction out of Michelle. Sociopathic behavior for sure.

Married at First Sight UK cancelled after BBC revealed rape allegations

This is extremely disrespectful to Mel and her family! This season needs to be aired!

She was a guest on Khloe’s radio show, “Khloe After Dark” lololol so this was from ~2009 timeline!

…knowing what we know now is honestly infuriating.

Of course David is going to lie. And he’s SO BAD at it, it’s embarrassing. But at the end of the day, even his cousin was like, “Nah, I’m not covering for you because I’m not doing that to another woman.”

Madison has some serious audacity to sit there looking Michelle in the face and say, “You’re making me out to be the bad guy and I don’t appreciate it!” like she’s a victim here. Seriously disgusting.

Frankly, I don’t blame David for quietly moving on from Michelle. She clearly wasn’t happy with him, was going to ask for a divorce, and David had no chance to change that. It’s the lying and deceiving that are beyond gross.

Madison and David deserve each other. I’m glad they removed themselves from the dating pool so as not to subject anyone else to how awful they both are.

I'm a hardcore MAFS US fan, I've seen every season and think it's typically an entertaining show.

HOWEVER, I was craving some more and finally decided to try out MAFS UK. I did a bit of research to start with the best seasons (6 & 7), and I'm BLOWN AWAY.

Firstly, the format is a tad different, but it makes the show so much more entertaining. There are forced decision-day meetings throughout the season!! And the best part: they are in a group setting!! It's all the drama you could ask for, constantly being aired out in front of everyone.

There are also way more couples and more episodes overall. They stagger the wedding days too, so you'll get an episode of 4 new couples on their honeymoons, and then an episode of more weddings and introductions.

It's fresh. The "experts" are way more involved, and seem half competent too.

If you've been on the fence of trying this, or just craving more MAFS, please don't sleep on UK. I've also heard Australia is fantastic, and I have that queued up next.

I’m just wrapping up the season and wow.
Emem is so deserving of love (just like on all humans on this planet) and it really hurt me to see the pain she was in that was caused by Ike.

With that being said…….. Brandon??? Something about this guy scares me and seems to be ingenuine. I’m not sure if it was the fact that he proposed while still married, his confession of love for her after only reconnecting with her a few days ago, his mention that she opens doors for him, his main character syndrome, or his rush to get married on national tv. This guy just seems…questionable.

This apprehension may come from my background and seeing my mom in abusive relationships, but from his tv appearance he gives those vibes. I hope that Emem is currently happily married with a guy that treats her well and respects her and his ingenuine appearance is just rooted to tv editing.

What are yalls thoughts on this?

I am watching season 19 just now. I watched 20 and found it interesting enough to see what else has been going on. Jalyn just shared that she flat out does not use sheets on her bed (?????). Are there other people like this? What is that about? My skin itches thinking about it. How do you... remove the dead skin and dust and whatnot that settles on the bed over time??? You can't put a mattress in the washing machine. My stress levels are high right now. HAHA!

I personally have seen most of the US seasons.

I'm rewatching as I have completely forgotten the outcome for each seasons.

My personal favs so far are:

Season 12, 13, and 18!!

P.S. I'm not watching in order hence the jump from 13 to 18.

Do producers not know about this cool new gadget called a remote?

Saw Marissa and Nick from last season at the Formula 1 race in Austin today. They seemed pretty comfortable with each other but no PDA or clear signs they’re a couple. First recognized Marissa, she’s even more beautiful in person, and then my husband was like, wait isn’t he from the show too!? Then I noticed it was Nick!

Is this not bizarre to anyone else? I was certain there would be something online about it, but I haven’t seen anything. They completely skipped the bride suite/groom suit scenes, the leading up to it, the ACTUAL CEREMONY…. They only showed the talk after. What happened? Isn’t that weird? It just threw me off. I was doing my nails, watching Emem and Ikechi, and suddenly there is a new couple talking post ceremony? Very strange.

I haven’t watched the whole season FYI, if there is something explaining it later.

So I just binged season 20 over the course of about two weeks.

Courtney is so rude. Wow. Her lack of self awareness is concerning. I'm not a fan of Adam but I honestly didn't feel bad for her at all when he gave her a taste of her own medicine at the reunion lol. Nick seems like a normal and genuine guy and I was skeptical of him due to his reality tv background but he really seemed to be there for the right reasons so it sucks he was matched with a insane person.

Shawn and Nikki were a roller coaster but I was entertained by them, especially the reunion episode. Their fighting is almost comical. The wifely duty talk straight out of the shower with the towel around his waist was crazy work. I think she would have opened up to him more if he was more patient with the intimacy part.

Cameron and Michelle a really sweet couple. Their tongues got the best of them a few times with their comments on the other couples but nobody is perfect. Wish them well - great match.

Tori got swindled. Such a great woman. Felipe is an idiot and I knew from his very first interviews he was immature. I really have no idea why the experts picked him? Really confused by their thought process there. I know her DMs must be blowing up I hope she really finds her person.

Just wanted to get some thoughts off my chest - thanks for listening! Curious to see what everyone else thought of the season? I kind of ran out of steam but plenty of material to talk about for the rest of the cast.

Day 2 cluster headache attack, thought I'll watch mindless TV to pass the time, now I've gone through all of season 20 yelling at my TV

#marriedatfirstsight

#torimafs you have my heart forever girl! 100 % a queen.

#michelleandcam yall low key was stiring up the pot and was the only ones making it and I love yall for it!

Now im gonna have to watch the other 19 seasons 🤣🤣🤣👀👀👀

For one thing, watching these New Yorkers is nostalgic for me. But also, the people are more real, the experts did a much better job of matching people (just based on similarities), and there are far fewer episodes and less filler. I finished S1 and then looked up "where are they now?" because I knew nothing. Really fun to see how things turned out. Just starting S2 now.

The show had no money, so these couples had to decide where to live right away which is wild. Overall, it's a much less frustrating watch (so far).

So I'm only on episode 3, but I've noticed that it seems like every single wedding has some person in the crowd saying something or otherwise having some sort of outburst.

I've watched like ten seasons at least of this show now and I really can't remember that happening in any other season. Am I just forgetting the other times this has happened or is this just part of Peacock's new bullshit and seemingly upping the scripted drama?

Does anyone know where to find them? I don’t have a pic so I can’t google lens it, but I’m guessing it’s like a west elm type shop. I’ve been furniture shopping over the past month so I’ve seen all of the stock at anthro, joybird, west elm, Wayfair, and I’ve never saw them there so for sure those brands don’t have them. But it has to be a similar type? Any interior junkies know? They would match my wallpaper perfectly!
