www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/married-at-first-sight-premiere-recap-4-new-couples-say-i-do/I was very happy when the girls were getting their pedicures and guys first met. Week one best couple (I am notoriously wrong though)--Jasmine and WillBest pre-wedding gift--AJ's alcohol gift to be consumed at their one year anniversary. I like the gift of hope and future intention. It might also be the worst gift. He could be an alcoholic. I could not vote AJ and Stephanie best couple, because AJ is irritating some; and Stephanie said she would be really disappointed if her husband was a couch potato. Biggest dissappointment--In previews Luke is telling Katie that he knows her from Megan. I think Katie had dated a Jewish person for four years. I think there must have been a bad experience in between Luke and Megan. I hope Katie doesn't get a bad experience from Luke also. Keith and Kristine--It seems like Keith is in transition already without adding marriage to the picture. I agree they seem on paper the best match out of these 4 couples unfortunately I'm so afraid he's going to Jepthe her. Smh

I have to chime in on AJ, and how annoying he is. Besides being NOT attractive, he irritates me with all his drinking, talk of drinking, excessive talking and overdone expressions. I give that girl credit for not doing a Jamie and crying in the hallway about how awful he is.
The blonde is cute (sorry, can't remember her name), but the way she speaks is odd. She's got a flat affect or something, and bores me to listen to her. That being said, I hope her guy is kind to her and doesn't hurt her: he seems like he could be cold.
Actually, none of the couples really were that interesting or appealing to me. This might be a season I just don't follow that closely. I'll give it another try, but if I don't find a reason to tune in, I'm out.

Looks like we're all on the same page about AJ! My mom and I watched together and, pretty early on in the episode, I said, "I'd kill him in his sleep." Just. Stop. Talking. OMG. At some point in the season - and I'd guess it'll be before the mid-way point, she's going to lose it. I wonder if she's the one in the season preview talking about how she didn't want to marry a child. The person I'm happiest for is the woman in the couple they eliminated in the casting special. Boy, did she dodge a bullet! That would have been a nightmare of a mother-in-law! I imagined her watching the casting special and realizing just how lucky she is! I'd be sending a thank you note - and flowers! - to the experts! Little Kate speaks with her jaw clenched. It's going to drive me nuts. On a superficial level, I don't think Luke is going to like her. He seems like a very health-conscious and fit guy. Although they showed her doing yoga, my feeling is that she might be a little.....plump for his tastes. I do think Luke is adorable. The closest to my type of the recent husbands.
After so many seasons, you'd think the family members would have watched and seen that being a jerk about their kid getting married on this show isn't a good tactic. Agree or disagree, your child is an adult, so just shut up about it and support them. Whether or not it's a dumb idea, it's not your choice and you being a naysayer on camera only makes you look like an a-hole.
I'm not sure about any of the couples' longevity. They always look okay within the first episode or two and then the wheels start to come off. I always think back to how great a guy Sean (of Sean & Davina) seemed in the first few episodes. Same with abusive Ryan. They can only edit in a "normal" personality for so long. I think we've got a few more episodes until that we see what they're all really like!

So I personally don't like Luke, I agree he's superficial and I believe he's a bit Shady. So I also think he's going to have an issue with Kate. AJ reminds me of Doug. I'm Pretty Neutral him for now Lol Some background on Jasmine apparently her mom watches the show that's how she found out about it. She stopped by her parents and it was on and she liked the concept. She told her mom she was going to apply but didn't tell her how far she got into the process until she was able to. She didn't tell her father anything. But if he watch any of last season with her mom maybe the reason for some of the apprehension Mia's arrest and such.

The preview showed Kate telling the other women that Luke said that he felt dead inside when he kissed her.....That would be an odd thing for a man to say. At the after show, Kate did not seem sad.
I do not think Jasmine is well matched to her husband.

I do not think Jasmine is well matched to her husband. I am wondering if Luke is not attracted to Kate b/c in the past he has dated the United Nations of women. Kate, while very pretty imo, is perhaps too vanilla for him. I do think he was being an ass at the reception by refusing to kiss her. The clinking glasses are annoying yes, but she was game. Just kiss her cheek for goodness sake! I like Jasmine and hope she can draw Will out. It's Keith and Kristine I worry about. He has been spoiled by granny and the women in his family. That conversation with her dad and brother was funny..." What about my smile? What about my feelings?" He did not seem too happy to think he was not going to be pampered. Also he is a professed couch potato and she works out. Oh to be blessed with such a nice physique and not work at it!

For a few minutes, I was really liking Luke, thinking he had a nice personality and was sensitive. But every reaction he had to his new wife was thinly veiled rejection, despite what words might be coming out of his mouth. And she seems so passive, not noticing and not about to call him out on any of it. I felt bad for her at the reception!
I thought she was quite closed-mouthed on the after show with Jamie, and did not seem happy. How do you recover from being told he was repulsed and dead inside after kissing you? Why would he SAY that, even if he felt it? That's just hurtful.

Wow man Luke geez louise. I can't.
Kate look so sad on unfiltered especially with Kristine look so happy next to her..
Will is Awkward even with his friends he seems so.
AJ and Stephanie seemed to really hit off.
This season looks like a complete ride.

Was Kate on the 1st Unfiltered? At 8 pm? I missed it. I saw some of the next one with Jasmine and Luke. I wondered why Luke was on as his marriage had not aired yet. Navybelle, good call on Kate not recognizing Luke's rejection of her. She deserves better. I think Stephanie and AJ came in later as the 4th couple b/c Kate and Luke implode.

Eastcoastmom originally I thought they had brought in a 4th couple because one didnt work out, but then I realized that all four guys and girls were together filming before the weddings. Then I thought they decided to have four couples because one couple on average has been emploding before the season is over, so this way they can get enough footage throughout the rest of the season.

I would have preferred not seeing the candidates who did not make it. It would make it easier to keep up with the ones that did make it backgrounds.
Luke-- thank you for reminding me he dated tanned/exotic types ( United Nations). Judges missed the boat on that. They thought he needs to try some white. Even his bride's mom noticed the visual differences between the two family sides saying Luke's side is so tan. Mean--how can anybody say they feel dead inside kissing anybody let alone the person that is suppose to be your best friend. The United Nations women didn't tolerate that stuff.
When my advanced age single friends whined that they just wanted someone to love them, I would tell them that all these guys want someone to love them too. They do not want to be the love giver. They want to be the recipient.
Deal breaker area--when you cannot respect that "other" person
Luke--get over the looks dude. She is beautiful. And you are acting ugly hurting the person who has came here for you.
I mixed up names. They were rude to Keith telling him his smile does not matter. If it Did not matter, he did not need to be there. I do hope Keith can be a husband and not a recipient of care.
Jasmine and Will still seem most compatible.
The drink likers--I feel her maturity is not going to like his immaturity.

On the casting special they chose the 4 couples at the same time. Pastor Cal wanted Jasmine and Will as couple number 3 and Jessica wanted AJ and Stephanie because they both felt strong about the couples so they chose 4. And all 4 couples had joint Bachelor and Bachelorette parties this season.
Where I live Jasmine and AJ's Unfiltered was shown at 8:30p then the New Episode and the another Unfiltered with Kate and Kristine at 10:30p.

All Luke had to do is kiss her cheek. I hope this turns around for Kate's, she seems like a sweet girl.
I haven't been excited about a season in a long time. Great casting.

Right now, it only looks like the physical couple (Kristine and Keith) has positive prospects.
Jasmine and Will Gender role arguments--I was surprised to hear Jasmine tell Will that men should pay all the bills. Per Jasmine, they are not a "man" unless they pay all of the bills. She wants to not pay bills..... So he should show her he loves her by paying the bills; and she is definitely showing him something by not paying the bills (laziness, unreasonableness, lack of care, detachment from the world). Jasmine graduated from the family loved "university" to WHAT?
Luke and Kate--She didn't tell experts she is a smoker because she did not want to be screened out. Luke could be the love of her life, or he could be someone with extreme personal issues. I hope they can pull that nose dive up.

How do we know Kate is a smoker? I missed that part. She admitted to Luke that she is an occasional smoker who has quit in the past and that she omitted this from her application. That would be a deal breaker for me and I am wondering if that is why Luke said he was 'repulsed' when he kissed her. Smoker's breath, perhaps?

^^^ That would make sense. I hope that's what happened. I hope she was being truthful when she told Luke she'd quit for him. It's one thing to SAY you'll quit, but quite another to actually DO it. I don't think Luke is a bad guy. I just think he needs to articulate his feelings. This is the same problem we saw with Shawniece and Jephte last season. If Danielle's eyebrows last season bothered me, Stephanie's weird semicolon eyebrows will make me insane. What it up with those horrible drawn on brows? They're so distracting and fake looking and they actually make her took older. She is in desperate need of a makeover. She could look so much better with different makeup. AJ's like a bobblehead. If you put him in one of those halo things for people with neck injuries, he wouldn't be able to speak. Jasmine's take on the bills is a head-scratcher. She claims to be an independent woman but expects him to pay most of the bills? He's working multiple jobs and she doesn't seem to care. What does she think she'll spend her money on? Makeup and clothing? What happened to combining your money and paying ALL of the bills from one account? Jasmine wanting to be an independent woman, but also wanting traditional gender roles is shades of Monet in season 1. You don't often get those two things together. We've seen couples in past seasons compromise on how much each spouse pays, but that's been when one of them makes a lot more money than the other. Kristine and Keith seem to be doing just fine. That means they'll implode by week six I do wonder why they matched her with someone who doesn't prioritize fitness and working out when it's so important to her.

Wasn't Derek smoking on his and Heather's honeymoon in season 4 what eventually sealed their fate?

Post by Critical on Jan 16, 2019 21:49:25 GMT
Yeah, and he lied about it. I think Kate's smoking is more social and when she's drinking. Derek was smoking just to smoke AND he wasn't smoking tobacco. They did both lie on their applications, but it does seem like Derek smoked a lot more than Kate does. I hope she sticks to her promise to quit, not just for Luke, but for herself. IMO, smoking never makes you more attractive.

According to the preview, he also said it made him feel dead inside. Luke and Kate were my early favorite but now, no thank you. What an ass. That's just cruel. We'll have to see what actually happened I suppose. I don't have high hopes.
I actually don't like any of the couples right now :/
Stephanie and AJ are both annoying, and I feel like he is going to do something stupid and unforgivable because he's so childish.
Keith and Kristine are okay, but they are both so immature. He's probably going to want to bring wifey home to live with grandma so grandma can take care of them both.
I really liked Jasmine and Will until Jasmine explained that she expected to be taken care of, rather than be in a partnership. Now I just like Will.
Hopefully they all grow into their marriages and by the end I'll like them. But I'm thinking it's just going to be drama this season.

Every week more and more I can't stand luke. He's rude and frankly I don't think he came on the show for the right reasons. Now I'm so upset Kate lied about smoking because I believe he will definitely use it as his ticket out but he wasn't feeling her before the smoking came out. Smoking is definitely my deal breaker so I can understand if it is others as well.
Jasmine really disappointed me this episode because she's really talking crazy. Sounds like she wanted a sugar daddy or her daddy in this relationship.
Keith and Kristine seem to be getting along swimmingly that said I don't like that she forced him into the gym. I also have a sneaky suspicion all their issues will have when the "honeymoon" is over.
I really like AJ and Stephanie so far they have a lot of chemistry so far.

The part with Keith and Kristine in the resort gym really bothered me. Okay, be into fitness, but he's not and YOU'RE IN COSTA RICA! Go run the beach or the pavement around the resort, not a treadmill! Find something in the middle that gives you activity but also gives him motivation and takes advantage of your surroundings.
I've been against Luke ever since he saw poor Kate. Either he doesn't like her physically, or he completely looks down on and judges anyone who has ever used his service, or a combination because he doesn't even try to hide how dis-interested he is...oh wait, there is the fake close lipped smile with the dead eyes and fake laugh.

That part with Keith and Kristine bothered me too. He was just trying to be a good sport by going to the gym with her but she started yelling at him like he was her trainee. He didn't ask for her help, and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. Instead of appreciating his (minimal) effort she was yelling at him to go faster.

At this point, Kristine and Keith are showing the most promise. She is more easy going than what earlier episodes let on. So I am happy with that.
Jasmine--told Will that she expects him to pull his weight with housecleaning; but we know from last week she does not want to pull her weight with bill paying. I think Will is going to like Jasmine's dog Bentley more than he is going to like her.
AJ--got earlier bad edits for show drama IMHO; in the homework he was asked to say good things and relationship concerns and he did not want to because he said he was not prepared to do that on the spot and "homework" is homework with preparation time. AJ owns his own staffing company. He is use to dealing with people. He didn't want to say flip things about his spouse. Words have ramifications. Last season the show told the couples to rate their spouses (wives). Hurting someone's feelings by rating them--adding pain to their lives. Right now, it looks like Stephanie is being the uptight one; and it looks like she is uptight next week.
Kate and Luke--It looks like Pastor Cal is getting ready to tell Luke to get lost next week. Good for him. Luke must have some deep problems. Before now, he could have given Kate kisses on the forehead or cheek. He could have done something to make her feel loved. Instead he is creating an "absence" and pain. When she gets rid of him, she is going to feel so much better. There is a good man out there for Kate. Who cares about the fact that Luke does not want to be married multiple times. Kate needs to tell him "I am sorry. I have one life. I cannot be married to an "empty" person. You have been inconsiderate and "weird" enough for me to want you gone."

If it were the guy telling the girl on this show that she needed to get to the gym & shape up, there would be hell to pay.

Keith and Kristine seem to be doing pretty good. Again I hate bike riding so not something I would do on my Honeymoon let alone forced to do but I'm glad Keith seems to be a good sport about it. Kristine seems really happy and positive on all the Unfiltered she's been on so far.
AJ seems really sweet his fatal flaw seems to be he has a bit of a over reaction disorder and while for somethings it might be sweet in others could be abusive. I still like their Chemistry.
Jasmine and Will I still think they can work but they both need to get out of their own head and fantasies. It's ok not to want to do something or the same thing as your spouse it is not ok to resent when they do the same and they both are doing that to each other.
Ok so I don't want to be offensive but Luke keeps bringing up Kate's Hygiene so either she is stinky or smells or he was with someone who was and is putting it against Kate. Either way if he had such a big thing about dating outside his race or felt the looks of his spouse was the most important thing to him in being married that he would not even try to be kind to the pretty person he did get I can't understand why he came in this show. And again I really am sideyeing him and I'm not sure he came here the right motives...

I really didn't like AJ's overreaction and temper with the producer. If I'd been Steph, I probably would've cried too. Very disappointing! Yeah, it's nice that he treats YOU well, but how a man treats others as well, really shows his character. You can't ignore one for the other. And I'm glad the show did not edit or cut out that scene, because I bet it comes up again in the future. It already looks like he loses it with Steph about taking down ugly decorations in the apartment! He needs to get a better handle on his emotions and reactions, because it's not a good look. Who wants to tiptoe around that guy for the rest of her life? I wouldn't.
Then there's Luke and his "boneheaded" decisions, per Pastor Cal. WHY would he tell Kate any of those feelings? He can't come straight out with, "Ohh Morning Breath!" instead he hints around at it, but he can say he feels dead inside and repulsed after kissing her? So sometimes he's trying to be considerate, and other times he goes for the jugular. The guy's a mess. I love Pastor Cal saying he needs to man up, in the preview for the next episode. Of course, Luke looks affronted. He's coming across as arrogant, like he thinks he's better than Kate and is doing her a favor by "trying" and hanging in there with this experiment. Next episode preview shows her going into his arms for a hug looking super happy -- so maybe he apologizes and comes to some realization about himself?
