Anyone else ready for this to all be over? I find I don't actually care if ANY of them stay together....or, rather, I don't WANT any of them to stay together. I can argue that every single couple isn't a good match.

I am REALLY ready for this to be over.
On a side note, AJ having his tantrum in the gym class said something about the gym not being part of the compromise process. All I could think of was because it would have to be HIS compromise rather than Stephanie's compromise. He is all about him running the show and Stephanie will fall into line to not rock the boat or in AJ's case wake the baby. Speaking of Stephanie, I like her. She seems very bright and thoughtful. It will take some real mulling over to decide if AJ is worth the long term investment.
Luke and Kate. I just can't. She is far too needy and he throws her just enough to keep her on the line. My guess is they will stay together for decision day/reunion, he will dump her after and make it sound like her fault. Her friends are right. They even said spending time with Luke, he is not nice to her. It is all backhanded. Something like. I'm sorry you are a drunk, here, have more wine. Some of it is her fault. She has let him treat her badly.

I think the two most likely to stay together are AJ/Stephanie and Keith/Kristine, although I don't think either will make it long term. I don't think Keith is ambitious enough for Kristine and I think AJ's anger issues are a no-go for Stephanie. I think AJ was embarrassed at that fitness class because he's so out of shape and his wife is clearly very fit. He just couldn't take not being able to keep up. Instead of asking the trainer for help with some modified exercises, he decided stomping out and acting like an ass (and potentially embarrassing his wife) was a better idea. I'm really curious about Kate's previous dating history. This feels like a pattern to me: guy isn't that into her, she sticks around for crumbs of his attention and then feels bad about herself, and yet, she doesn't leave. Lather, rinse, repeat. That girl needs to get herself into therapy to deal with why she doesn't seem to think she deserves more. Like I've said this whole season, Luke can't control the fact that he's not attracted to her. We're attracted to who we're attracted to. The fact that she just sticks around using the whole, "I only want to get married once" thing is just foolish. Sometimes you need to just get out. There are far too many of these people talking about how they only want to get married once and yet they went on this show. Have they never watched before and seen how few of these marriages last? OR, do they think they're going to be an exception?

Courtney has posted on her Instagram that her and Jason are over. http://instagram.com/p/Bvja_X8luXC I'm so glad this season is over Kate and Luke are exhausting. That said I can totally see 2 maybe 3 couples (either K&L or W&J) staying together on decision day don't see the long term prognosis for any of these couples though.

I somewhat recall Courtney and Jason dropping out of the spotlight shortly after Jamie's June 2017 baby shower. Sad.

Very sad for Jason and Cortney. I always felt like that geography issue was going to come between them. She seemed pretty firm on her desire to not only raise kids in NC (SC?), but to NOT raise kids in NYC, and he was so tied to NYC and his job. I couldn't see how it would work without one of them making a huge sacrifice.

Married At 1st Sight Verified account @mafslifetime 4h4 hours ago Will the #MarriedAtFirstSight couples stay married, or will they get a divorce? ❤️💍💔 Tuesday at 9/8c, don't miss decision day!
Pastor Cal says, "I fight for marriages to stay together. Not this time..." He must be talking about Luke and Kate.

While I believe AJ is truly a jerk and I can't stand his temper, the editing of this show has been tricky with regard to him. I'm sure he ticked off the production enough, that they've cut/pasted things to maximize the jerk-ness. I mentioned before that the comment about Luke being a top or a bottom was clearly not said when it was shown to be; it didn't sound the same and you didn't see AJ talking at the time. But, of course, he did say it at some point, maybe not even TO Luke, but the show chose to put it in. I'm not defending him at all, because he probably deserves a bad edit, but it annoys me that they play so loose with this show while trying to sound like they take it so seriously.
On this week's episode, we saw AJ complaining and complaining while at the gym. But, when he left, that didn't seem to be a true storming out, to me. He looked like he was just heading to the locker room, and Steph looked fine like she was just done and following. I'm certain he was NOT happy being there, so it could have been a temper tantrum, but we don't know how long he was there -- maybe the workout was over, and they just edited it to look like he stormed out in a huff. I had the volume low, at first, so I missed their additions to the scene, and what I saw was just two people leaving their workout when it was over. When I rewound to hear, then I picked up his voice-over, being a baby about it all. Steph should run. I have a feeling they'll stay together, but I'm hoping she sees the light.
The other couples are a "no" for me. I don't think they'll make it, even if they do choose to stay married on decision day. No way will Luke and Kate be able to salvage anything out of what we've seen. They both are frustrating to watch, because it seems both of them have something to say, but just don't say it! I doubt we'll get any answers on the finale either.
I think Jasmine will want to stay married, but I don't think she should. She needs someone a bit more outgoing and responsive, it seems. Kristine just needs someone who's a grown up.

The whole Kate and Luke dinner scene was heavily edited. They were sitting next to the windows, the scene went from light to dark and back to light and dark again. I guess they were trying to make it seem like Kate was on the fence after dinner with Puke, but all the night scene talks were her trying to seriously talk to him and voice her displeasure so maybe she did push him a lot harder and they edited it to make it seem like she's wishy washy and indecisive..............the show tries heavily to make it seem like no one knows what they will do on d-day. I think Kate will go for a divorce and Luke will sit there with a creepy grin on his face and whisper "but, why?????"
This show as an experiment- I think we can all collectively agree it's a failure. Most applicants are crap and the experts can't put people together if their lives depended on it. Other than Jamie O /Doug and Bobby/Danielle have there been any lasting happy couples? The couple that had a baby? I don't remember their names b/c I didn't watch that season, but there was a lot of speculation if they were happy together.

It's certainly not good odds at this point, is it? I think Ashley and Anthony are the only other couple that are happy. Even though Jephte and Shawneice (sp?) have a baby I don't think they're happy together. They're trying for the sake of their daughter. I wish them well in that endeavor. Are they even still together? I think the experts/producers need to educate each person before they marry on signs of an abuser.

Jephte and Shawneice was who I was thinking of! And I forgot about Ashley and Anthony. the experts need to give each individual some pre-marital counseling BEFORE they walk down the aisle. And go over what to do if you are not initially attracted, what commitment means, that this is not just dating to try on marriage for 8 weeks, etc.... maybe they do , but it seems that not that many participants GET it and go into it thinking that their grandparents were married for 105 years and that's what they want BUT have no sense of reality or skills to make that happen.

Plus she made a comment the other day about how baby #2 will be planned (not a surprise), but it won't be soon.

Thank goodness Kate came to her senses and dumped Luke! Previews for next week look good. Hoping for the best for AJ/ Stephanie and Keith/Kristine. Jasmine still cannot recognize the role she played contributing to Will's decision to divorce. I think he was initially attracted to her but her constant belittling of him ( afraid of heights, did not come to her rescue after ATV mishap, wanting him to foot all the bills, pancake-making ability, etc) turned him off. He was wise not to have sex with her. Oh and her belittling his childhood upbringing...that was a big one. He wanted to coach and give back and she shot that down too. Too many differences to make it work.

^^^ To be fair, the only person who actually got dumped was Jasmine. Both Luke and Kate opted out of their marriage. I'm glad that happened, but it wasn't just Kate saying no to the marriage.
I won't be surprised if one or both of the other two couples is broken up by the reunion show. I can make arguments for both couples to split.
If I was Stephanie, I'd be sitting AJ down and telling him that the only way the marriage would be continuing is if he agreed to marriage counseling and individual therapy. His anger issues and behavior when he's frustrated are unacceptable. She shouldn't have to just get used to that. HE needs to learn more mature ways of dealing with anger and frustration or that marriage has a short expiration date, IMO.

From previews, it looks like Will and Jasmine decided to stay together. I guess they were having power struggles. And Will exercised his power by saying he wanted a divorce. I felt bad for Jasmine. True, she was an ass saying men are only men if they pay all the bills. But I did not want to see her get rejected. I want to see a happily ever after for Jasmine. I do not know what Will's deal is--sleeping all the time, and the last minute divorce statement delivery. Was the sleeping from disinterest or fear? I am not identifying with Will right now. Kate really got a hopeless situation. {Spoiler: Kate and Luke} Next week preview, Kate was saying that Luke has a man partner--a man

I really don't get how Will is the only bad guy in this case. Jasmine up to the day of decision has downplayed his goals and plans for the future as if he didn't have anything going for himself on top of the wants him to pay the majority of the Bills. I think Will was smart not to sleep with her during the experiment. I also think he felt he wasn't what she wanted in the long run and there would be no pleasing her based on what was communicated during the experiment.
The only thing I could say is Will will at some point have to be open to being hurt. It seems they mutual screw this up Jasmine was too judgmental and Will wasn't open enough.

I wonder if production tells them to "play with your ring", "twist your ring!" because that was a lot of footage of ring twisting going on. Pastor Cal made a lot of stinkfaces for every couple and I found it highly amusing.
Stephanie should insist that AJ get counseling. When he's acting "normal" they are cute together, but his issues are too overwhelming. She has to be a real patient person.
I was glad Will opted for divorce. Their differences were too great. Jas wouldn't even dress like a sexy librarian for him and put down his fantasy. I feel she tried to act "cutesy" about things when it was really just annoying. She might have been okay with someone else , but Jas was too into herself and money to be with Will. Good for him for sticking to his guns and I also think he was very smart to not sleep with her when he knew that he wasn't feeling it.
Funny that the experts all asked the men for their decisions first, except for Luke. I feel like for most of the show, they have shown all the other couples interviewing or doing the same things except for Luke and Kate. I think he would have said stay together had he been asked first and tried to pressure Kate to do the same. He kept trying to stare at her with his crazy dead rasputin stare while she was trying to talk. Good for her for following through. I'm disappointed the experts didn't call him out on the drinking accusations or make more of the secret keeping expectations. But, I am glad that they shut Luke up from creepy whispering and told him that Kate can answer if she wanted to. If Luke is gay or bi- go live your best life, but don't go on a reality show about marriage where honesty is expected and just try to hide the truth. I'm still really confused as to why he wanted to be on this show at all. I actually thought he and AJ were gay when I saw the previews for this season before it began. I'm sure his defense about his FB status is going to be he had a friend who died that was gay and so he did it to honor him, or something stupid and completely unbelievable like that.
Keith and Kristine- I can see them making it. Keith is an immature ass, and he's going to have to step it up to keep Kristine happy. Kristine is a calm and quiet powerhouse or a great actress. I honestly thought she was going to choose to divorce him. She became my favorite in this season.

It also sounds like AJ says 'flustrated' which would be a deal breaker for me anyway I was hearing it as FUStrated, which is just as annoying. That kind of kid talk ("kinniegarden" is another one that drives me insane), is a no-go for me. Like nails on a chalkboard.
If they do another MAFS series like we got with the pregnant couples, and AJ is involved, I won't be watching. One season of him was more than enough. I was irritated by him in the casting special. I'm done!
The previews with people questioning Luke's sexuality really rub me the wrong way. I have a serious issue with people being outed. If he is gay, then he definitely shouldn't be going on a show to marry a woman, but I have serious doubts that he IS gay, especially because they revealed it in the previews. They NEVER reveal stuff like that in the previews. I'm going to reserve judgment until we see the reunion episode.
If he has a FB profile showing that he's in a relationship with another man, that could also be nothing. I have a good (and straight) girlfriend who, for years, had her profile showing that she was married to another woman. They were close friends and it was their little joke to call each other "wife."
Like I said, I never believe anything they show in the previews. This show has the most manipulative editing of any show on TV. I believe it when I see it happen in an episode.
I don't think Will and Jasmine will get together again. I think maybe they've reached a place where they're "good" with each other, but there were just too many issues that prevented them from a successful relationship, no matter what the experts say.

I was afraid Kate was going to stay with him by the editing. Glad that wasn’t true.
Not sure why Jasmine wanted to stay with Will. He didn’t seem into her at all when she tried.
Can’t wait to see the reunion show to see if the others are actually still together.
All the facial expressions from the expert was funny , it was the editing because they didn’t go what they were talking about.

What a bad edited show tonight.
Was glad to see Kate happy but what was she on. It was hard to watch their time. I think they needed to do a bette job vetting Luke. Or was it all an act?
Will to was very awkward still. He really wanted to date after divorce. She would resent the 50/50 money thing so it wouldn’t work.
The whole build up with Keith and Kristine was dumb too...a house really. A,.J and Steph also said they were looking for a new place just not a house.
Good thing was watching it live, they went over by 10 mins.

If it's not true, I agree with Kate that it's not a joke. And even if he thought it was at 18, he said it had been several years. Don't you grow up at some point and realize it's not funny? That build up to K&K buying a house was ridiculous. I did like how all the women got so close and gained friendships from this. I like the change in recent years to have them all connect in the beginning. I think Jamie and Monet did that the first season. I'm sure it can be helpful.
