I'm not liking Elizabeth much--but then, I didn't like Shawniece at first, either. Is Elizabeth laughing at her husband when she first lays eyes on him, coming down the aisle? In the promo, it looks like she is laughing at him, and his feelings are hurt. You know, though...editing. Her father says do you know him when she stopped and says oh my God and starts laughing. So not sure if they knew each other prior to the process. Not sure how big the popular of Charlotte but it's possible I'm sure. Someone on Twitter said she saw someone she dated on the match making show and that she lives in Charlotte and needs to move lol.

I am sad that I can't watch this train wreck anymore! Lifetime doesn't allow you to watch online unless you sign in with your provider and since I don't have cable anymore ... 😪

Add me to the group who isn't liking Elizabeth already. I wouldn't read too much into the very end of the episode. This show loves to manipulate the edit. I'm not really feeling Jamie either. He's WAY too picky and the way he was checking out the dealer (bartender? I was only half-watching that part) was a BIG red flag. IMO, that couple has disaster written all over it. I think they'll either be a perfect match or an absolute disaster.
From what I read online, there was a good bit of drama surrounding Matt's parents' divorce and that lead to the estrangement. I'm sure there's more of a story there and we'll probably hear it. I don't think that situation should be seen as a red flag...not yet, anyway.
I think, at this point (and we KNOW that can change!), three of the couples look like they could work.

A lot of people are comparing Elizabeth and Jaime to Amber and Dave. Which I think is probably a fair comparison. I never had that big of an issue with Amber and so far no issue with Elizabeth. We will see how they shake out I agree with Critical it's either going to be a match made in Hell or Heaven lol. A producer said it's the best season ever. Sounds like the bachelor territory where they mean craziness that will yeild ratings lol

At first glance (or sight!) they all seem much more normal than the past 2 crazy cray seasons. Greg seems like a really sweet and good guy. I think he would be a better match for Iris though. Matt and Amber seem really into one another. Iris is gorgeous; Keith seems decent. Then there's the other couple. Elizabeth is too full of herself, obnoxious, and her wedding dress doesn't fit. She looks like Marylin Manson with red hair. Mr. Nit Pick just seems skeevy and gross.

I hope the red head is just getting a bad edit. I hope she is not a jerk.
I hope we get some good finishers out this bunch.

Not having sex before marriage is not going to guarantee a happily ever after. It won't turn a Mr. Wrong into a Mr. Right. The only thing it means is that the person might not have a high hormone level and may be able to go without sex. Perhaps the ability to go without is helpful.
The red head's vow language (I won't lie or steal from you.) might mean that she may be prone to lieing and stealing.
I like all the supportive parents.

Okay, I was liking Keith's mother until she went and spilled Iris' private business to Keith. It wasn't her place to tell him about her virginity: it was Iris' decision as to when and how to tell him. I get that Keith and his mom are close, but I thought that was disrespectful to Iris.
That being said, Iris and Keith are so gorgeous. They look like the people in those pictures that come in picture frames. I hope that he wasn't just giving lip service to being patient and understanding with her. She seems very attracted to him and fully on board with consummating the marriage....just not immediately. I love her relationship with her father. I loved their little dance before walking down the aisle.
Still not sold on Elizabeth and Jamie. She's just too over-the-top and I find him a tad creepy. I rolled my eyes when his mom referred to Elizabeth as a "young lady." Um, no.
I always cringe when friends and family members get nosy about the sex life and other personal things. That moment where Amber's friends and sister were interrogating Matt about his family was really uncomfortable. He hasn't even really talked to his wife about it. What makes you think YOU have a right to know that stuff before she does?
I'm not paying any attention to the previews. There's always a lot of misdirection and nonsense. Over the course of the show, they film any number of things that could be edited ANY way they want. Unless there are valid spoilers (rare with this show, oddly), I won't believe anything until I see it happen on decision day.

Iris and Keith are very pretty together. I thought what his mom did was snake in the grassish- like she secretly wanted to put a bump in the road for him.
Amber is really annoying me. I wonder if she is continuing to be a middle school teacher; you know all the 13 year old boys in her class DVR this show so they can watch her cursing and talking about sex over and over and show everyone else and make memes out of her to send to classmates. Hopefully the previews aren't correct and Matt doesn't break her heart. She reminds me of Zoiah Mamet from girls and she needs to tone it down b/c she seems annoyingly giddy or drunk.
Greg is still a sweety. Devonna is okay; loved her sneakers with her wedding dress. They were sweet with the families.
I would not be surprised if Liz is a drunk. or takes meds with alcohol.

Elizabeth's vow's were taken from lines in the movie Hitch. She just modified them a little. She was probably drunk and binge watching rom coms while writing her vows and thought it made her seem clever or some such thing.

Did Elizabeth really come out of the bathroom dressed like that. How embarrassing for her family. Her dad hated when he kissed her at the wedding. I must say I like Jamie better with some scuff on his face and head.
Devonna And Greg were cute with the phone but previews next week seems like she goes off the rails.
Iris and Keith seem to be well matched , down to matching clothes.
The middle school teacher was all about sex and now talking babies already....I think she scares him...lol

On the Unfiltered show with Jamie Otis, Matt gave me the vibe that he and Amber did not stay together. Or maybe he was just nervous. Interesting, too, that he said he was disappointed when he first saw Amber & noticed the disparity in height.

I read that Keith was recruited for the show and has music aspirations. I just can't with these folks anymore. Is nothing sacred? Who am I kidding? You have to have more than a few screws loose to agree to marry at 1st sight and appear on this show!😄

How did Keith's mom think to ask Iris about wearing white? I wonder if the producers gave her the idea. It's just such a random question nowadays, considering that women wear bridal white all the time without being virgins, or caring that's what it supposedly symbolizes. It's also an extremely rude and personal question. She seemed surprised to find out about Iris' virginity, and didn't seem pleased to learn it either, so why ask if that's not the answer she was expecting? Then she compounded her rudeness by telling her son.

You know, do whatever you want and if you're comfortable with your body, then cool, but maybe consider how your family will feel about seeing it on national TV I also feel like maybe you could leave a LITTLE to the imagination. You just met the guy. Her father's already losing his mind over this stuff....although he needs to chill, IMO. She's a grown adult, not a teenager (regardless of how she behaves). I thought she was much prettier with a lot less makeup, btw. I have to say, based on how Matt behaved on Unfiltered and the previews, I don't think he and Amber are still together either, provenceguy It would be right in line with "typical" pro athlete behavior.
mina - I think Amber is prettier than Zosia Mamet. She reminds me a little of a young Jewel Staite.
I really like Iris a lot. This probably means that she'll turn out to be a total psycho. Is it me or do Keith's parents look like they could be siblings?

Not only was Elizabeth's skimpy nightie inappropriate for her first night with her just-met husband, but I felt embarrassment for the half-dozen production staff in the room with them. That couldn't have been comfortable for any of them. The top of her nightie was so shear it had to be blurred for TV.

I didn't think that negligee was inappropriate if she wasn't going to be FILMED in it, regardless of when she met her husband. In that context, it felt like it was a bit much (or a bit too little ). Based on his reaction, I don't think Jamie minded. It wasn't like Shawniece and her wedding reception lap dance in front of all of Jephte's (and her) family! That was uncomfortable. I'd bet none of the men on the crew were unhappy about seeing her. She's cute. It's not like hazardous duty pay over on My 600Lb Life where parts are blurred out and you're not actually sure which parts they're blurring out!

I like Iris a lot too. Not only is she beautiful outside but inside also. I feel like she has a good heart. Hope it works out for the too of them. Yes, Keith and Iris really are an attractive couple. Hope it works out for Greg and Devonna too. Hate Elizabeth and her over the top personality. Jamie, ugh. Not sure how I feel about Matt and Amber, but agree she should not act on tv the way she has already if she is an elementary school teacher.

Devonna and Greg are cute together so far; I liked them putting their numbers into each other's phones.
Iris and Keith are too pretty for words. He seems very gentle and understanding with her. Although unusual, I don't think being a virgin at 27 is a huge character flaw. However, sex is a HUGE part of marriage and I think the experts should have put virgins or those that value virginity together. I hope it goes okay with Keith and Iris; I can see their expectations on this causing problems (the preview of her finding the condoms).
I say Amber reminds me Zosia b/c of looks and I think she acts sorta goofy and immature, like Shosh herself. I find her equally adorable and annoying. Matt just seems like he's hiding a lot.
Liz's nightie- While appropriate to wear in private with your new husband on your wedding night, she also stripped naked to put it on and all this was in front of a camera crew. Her relationship with her dad is truly bizarre. Iris the virgin is much more grounded and normal than Elizabeth the girl that has probably jumped into bed with anyone that looked at her. Elizabeth's dad has to know that his daughter has kiss faced and grinded with more men than he can count. that's totally fine (you do you) unless your dad wants to comment on it and makes it sound like he is jealous of anyone that got a turn; I mean geez.

Hope Iris gets a good sex experience Beth's dad was irritating. I guess he didn't know that daughter likes to show the goods off. I hope a couple of these guys can make it across the finish line still married

I really like Iris and Keith.
Of course the editing of the previews were about nothing.
Will maybe the Elizabeth one about him having lunch without her was weird. I would be mad too. Those poor cameraman in the bathroom with them and seeing them strip for the bathtub...scruff is gone and he is so pale. Seeing that scene looked funny rather than sexy.
The other 2 couples seemed to be doing ok. But it usually goes bad after the honeymoon.

They all seemed okay even crazy Liz.
Iris and Keith are both too beautiful for words. They are cute and comfortable together.
Amber got some sex and toned it down a few notches. I hope she's not planning to teach this coming school year. While I don't think she's done or said anything too terrible; middle schoolers would have a field day with some of her comments. I don't know how they accepted Matt onto this show when it seems like he's planning to leave and travel with basketball for 10 months?
Big Red was still pretty annoying even though she had a valid reason to be mad. Jamie acted immaturely when confronted. Could they not text one another? They ended it nicely, but one or both will probably bring it up in the future.
Greg is so nice. Devonna is trying so good for her.

They ended it nicely, but one or both will probably bring it up in the future. Greg is so nice. Devonna is trying so good for her. Matt told the experts he was no longer going to play overseas and would be working with and friend in Charlotte. Unless he was lying the experts would not have cast him if he said there was a potential for more travel. That said love their vibe as a couple. I like all the couples surprisingly. The couple I am most worried about is Liz and Jaime they can seem so volatile. I would have been just as mad though if My husband left for 2 HOURS on our honeymoon without a word. Also to blow her off was Ridiculous. But they worked it out faster than I thought and they seem to find common ground on the fact that probably don't want kids or no time soon anyway. I really love Keith. I love Keith and Iris together kind of feel like soulmates to me but we will see with move ins. I really like Deonna and Greg together as well. He is such a sweetheart and I believe his patience will help keep their relationship together. Deonna seems to be trying which is good. Understood the compliment conversation sometimes too many compliments are uncomfortable for some that said might bite her in the but years down the road. I do like that she pushes Greg out of his comfort zone as well. They remind me a bit of Bobby and Danielle hopefully she comes around on affection like Danielle did.

Elizabeth is too much. I don't like her or her father. The turning point for me was when she exclaimed, "Oh my f***in' God!" before she walked down the aisle. She's tacky and annoying. Jamie isn't much of a treat either, but I felt bad for him at the ceremony.
I find myself rooting for the other three couples, hoping they make it through.

Greg has a beautiful home. Laughed when she said who wants to clean it. Glad the pastor talked to her about the compliments.
Jamie place was so clean and neat. Wonder if he took his cat to the new place since she had the 2 dogs. I too don’t like dogs using dishes I do. Why didn’t she ask if he had something she could use first.
Iris going crazy over the condoms was dumb , he never said he never a virgin. Laughed though that he only took 3 on his honeymoon. Still like them , the preview for next week though...their guest can only have 2 drinks ! Hope it is the editing.
The last couple, I was with him with the bathroom , I don’t need to share that if I don’t have too...lol. They are very awkward to me, maybe she is trying to hard or something I can’t put my finger on it .
