Married At First Sight

On this week’s episode of Married At First Sight, the experts sat down with each spouse to find out what it will take for the couples to stay together on decision day. There are less than four weeks left in the experiment and at least 50% of the couples are already doomed.  As much as I enjoy being reminded my problems aren’t so bad, I can’t help but wonder why some of these people even got married.

You have one groom who barely comes home and another couple that argues at the drop of a dime. The other couples have issues as well, but they are fixable at least. If I were an expert I would make each Married At First Sight participant take mandatory psych evaluations and self-esteem courses. Nonetheless, let’s unpack the BS drama we witnessed inside this episode.

On this week’s episode of Married At First Sight, the couples were tasked with deepening their connections. Considering two husbands walked out during the last Married At First Sight episode, I don’t know how deep they can get. These couples definitely can use a crash course on trust and intimacy. Let’s be real half of these people need to learn just how to interact with another human being on a basic level. Let’s get to the petty!

Its 2 pm in the afternoon and Amber Bowles is still crying at home and Matt Gwynne still isn’t home. While rummaging through his virtually empty drawer, she finds a MAJOR discovery. Matt’s wedding ring is inside the drawer and NOT on his finger. I also had Hmmm… He leaves the house for 24 hours and takes off his ring before he leaves. Insert side eye emoji!  I also had to laugh that the only other thing in Matt’s drawer with the ring was some plastic. Does this man have anything besides the clothes on his back? SMH.  Amber, girl, why are you still being optimistic? This man has zero respect for your or the marriage. It’s clear he was out all night with another woman or women. Why else would he ignore you and leave his ring? I can’t!!!!!!!!!! His bags should have been at the door with a note that read, “I packed your things, see your way out”!

This week’s episode of Married At First Sight was the friends and family episode. The couples attempted to merge their lives by inviting their loved ones to their new homes. Things get pretty dramatic when two men decide to exit stage left from their marriages. Another couple realizes one may be a lot more territorial and unwilling to share than the other. Things heat up on this Married At First Sight episode and the season got a lot more interesting. Living together has its perks… until each person’s bad habits start to rear their ugly heads. Nonetheless, I personally was thoroughly entertained by this episode.

The wives and husbands meet up separately to discuss their marriages. Amber Bowles is still whining about Matt Gwynne’s desire to utilize the second bathroom. When Iris Caldwell reveals that she and Keith Manley use separate bathrooms, Amber realizes she may have overreacted. Duh! If I only knew a man five days, I would be elated if he went into a second bathroom. Hell, if I knew if for years, I’d like my own private bathroom. Iris reveals how naive and inexperienced she is when she tells the ladies how upset she got about Keith’s condoms.  Girl, grow up. The man lived a whole life before he was surprised with a virgin wife. The fact that he practiced safe sex should at least put you at ease.

On this week’s episode of Married At First Sight, the honeymoon has ended and the couples are returning to their new reality. This is my favorite part of Married At First Sight. Things always get real when couples start living together. This season, the experts have provided everyone with a shared space. But before they move, they will first spend the night in the home of their significant other.

Greg Okotie takes the grand tour of Deonna McNeill’s home. Now I see why she wanted to live in his larger house. You can see the anxiety on Greg’s face when he encounters her cluttered space and shedding dog. Elizabeth Bice visits her husband Jamie Thompson’s house. Either he is a neat freak or he had someone organize his entire home. It looks like a model home that has been staged. Hmm… something tells me Elizabeth is going to be a challenge for his OCD.

Iris Caldwell spends the night at Keith Manley’s home. The next morning she begins to snoop through all of his things. Girl, I know this is your husband, but you have only known him for 5 days. I think it’s extremely rude to go through someone else’s belongings, especially in a new relationship. Now don’t get me wrong, I would look and take mental notes. But I wouldn’t go through his bags and drawers. It reeks of desperation and seems as if you are looking for an issue. Well as expected, Iris is livid when she finds a box of empty condoms hidden away. Did she forget SHE was the virgin, not him? She should be happy he was at least using protection before he got married.

When confronted, Keith claims he brought some condoms to the honeymoon. Iris harps on the fact that the box is empty and even checks his backpack and only finds three. Keith nicely shuts down the conversation as nonproductive. Iris decides to let it go, but I have a feeling this topic will rear its ugly head again.

On last night’s episode of Married At First Sight, the couples were still enjoying their honeymoons in beautiful Antigua. Despite the relaxing vacation setting, trouble brews as they begin to learn more about each other’s habits. One couple actually gets into a heated argument when one person ditches their spouse for hours. It’s only a matter of time before the polite personas are traded in for their real personalities. I can’t wait until the couples live together. This is when the drama comes out and I am here for it!

The couples are on day 3 of marriage and are still enjoying their honeymoons. Well, some more than others… Matt Gwynne and Amber Bowles really enjoyed themselves. They have officially consummated their marriage. While others are getting it on, Deonna McNeill is telling her husband, Greg Okotie to stop complimenting her so much. Ummm… okayyyy.  I don’t think she explained her point well. The compliments seem less genuine when they happen so frequently. I think for Greg he feels so awkward in these uncharted waters. He uses compliments as a way to connect. Hopefully, this doesn’t blow up into something bigger. I believe Greg and Deonna both like one another. They just need to learn to communicate better.

On last night’s episode of Married At First Sight, the couples are spending their first night together as stranger spouses. This should definitely be interesting with a virgin and at least one desperate and HORNY bride who can’t keep her hands off her new husband. Some of these women are staring at their new husbands like their first meal after a famine. I can’t wait to see how the honeymoons and living together unfolds. That is when people truly start getting real. Let’s be clear, I’m not hoping for the downfall of these newly married couples. I just think the history of this show predicts most won’t work out. Either way, I will be entertained!

Elizabeth Bice doesn’t seem shy at all. She is naked in front of her husband, Jamie Thompson in 2.5 seconds. He literally unzipped her dress turned around and she was letting it all hang out. Insert side eye….Okay… Greg Okotie and Deonna McNeill are awkward as hell. He literally stands at the door watching her wash her face like a puppy waiting on his master. I curious to see what happens with this couple, he genuinely seems like a nice guy, despite his wife’s guarded exterior.
