Nah. Henry is no gem. Frankly, we've seen the worst of both and I cannot imagine tolerating either one of them.

Nah. Henry is no gem. Frankly, we've seen the worst of both and I cannot imagine tolerating either one of them. Disagree. I think Henry would have been just fine with another woman AND the rest of the cast seems to be on his side, so that tells you something. I don't see any of the others sticking up for Christina or looking happy about spending time with her. Obviously, he's socially awkward and shy, but he's also very smart and seems to have figured her out pretty quickly. He said he caught her lying early in the marriage, but clearly didn't voice it on camera. I don't think Christina's lying days are in her past. She's just pretending she's changed when it's clear she's still full of it.
I can't believe the season ends this week! Many of us have seen the spoilers about which couples stay together, but now I'm wondering if those couples will still be together at the reunion special.
If anyone's interested, Amber from season 9 was on Olivia Caridi's podcast Mouthing Off this week and MAN, does she have a story to tell! Matt doesn't come off well at all, but that's no surprise. It sounds like, by week 3, they hated each other. Oh, and the show actually had footage of Matt bringing another girl into their apartment! Apparently, one of the experts knew about it. Plus, she had multiple people telling her about different women he was hooking up with throughout the process. He's an even bigger dirtbag than we saw on the show. Their divorce was just finalized last month. Amber said she thinks he just dragged his feet signing the papers, claiming they were lost, etc., because he knew it pissed her off. Oh, and he never played basketball "overseas" - he was in Mexico

Karen and Miles :
He wants to stay married and Karen also wants to stay married.
This did surprise me.

Still don’t think Karen is into Miles. The preview for next week doesn’t look good but we know how that turns out.
I knew Woody and Amani would stay together.
Christina was really delusional, I don’t know if I will stay or not. He answered that for her. He was really nervous he was ticking like crazy.
Bennett getting a tattoo, to funny. She said she wish he didn’t to the group? I know I heard it. Definitely on the hip and not butt. That was a weird conversation.
Olivia and Brett, they were already split so. She didn’t want anything to do with him now. I feel for her since there were couples that worked out . Must be hard in that situation.
Next week looks interesting.

The man is not just awkward and shy, there some sort of serious nervous system disorder going on with him. I find Henry extremely off-putting and, like Christina, painful to watch. Neither one should never have been selected to participate and I'm glad to see the two of them go.

Is it ? My guide says it is a repeat of last nights show. I will set it just to make sure they don’t pull something on me....lol I’m in Canada so maybe that is why , sometimes we have to wait with Lifetime. We don’t get Unfiltered.

Christina definitely didn't come off well at all on D Day and it was clear she was trying to shovel herself out of that hole as quick as she could. You could tell the experts didn't buy her excuses. I was proud of Henry for really standing up for himself and being direct with her. Wish he'd been doing that all along.
According to MAFSFan's spoilers about the reunion special, {Spoiler} All three couples that stayed married on D Day are still married. Bennett and Amelia did a Zoom call from VA. Brett did a Zoom call and declined to be a part of the group interview. Christina flew in from Mexico. Miles and Karen and Woody and Amani moved into new homes just a few doors away from each other. Miles and Karen still haven't said I love you.

Well, Decision Day did nothing to change my mind: I still think Christina and Olivia are horrible. Christina is definitely off her rocker, and I can't imagine how she made it through casting. Olivia just wants to be right, so she can't help but lash out at every chance.
Two of the 3 couples who stayed married are just so cute and seem so genuine. My mind's not convinced about Miles and Karen, but individually I like both of them.

Proud and prefer to have seen Henry acting like an ass for the entire season? That certainly wouldn't have earned him any favors. I am THRILLED never to see Henry, Cristina, Brett, and Olivia ever again! All of them exhibited obnoxious selfishness behavior. Good-bye and good riddance!

Miles seems to be such a nice fellow for so many reasons and so patient with Karen. However, I don't know how long he'll be able to tolerate Karen's stand-offishness and coldness. For a husband, her behavior has to be very difficult to live with. There's very little warmth emanating from her nor any spontaneity that has to be a part of any successful loving marriage. I see him having to be on guard constantly to say and do the right things to please her. Even at the Finale, months after they married, Karen still shows the same traits.

Olivia just wants to be right, so she can't help but lash out at every chance. Two of the 3 couples who stayed married are just so cute and seem so genuine. My mind's not convinced about Miles and Karen, but individually I like both of them. I agree about Olivia. She does herself no favors by calling Brett names. I don't think he's the best prize, but I also don't think he's as bad as she says he is. She won't own up to her own poor behavior in any way. The more she talks the more she convinces me she's a spoiled brat. She keeps saying Brett didn't come on the show for the right reasons. However, there are numerous hints that her does want to be married, serial dating aside. He said he wanted kids. It sounds like she figured out after she was married that she didn't really want any. How is that his fault? She says he doesn't want to be married but that doesn't line up with what they want out of life. He owns his own home, wants kids, all "settling down" things. She wants to go travel all around, no strings of kids, all things that don't really scream "settling down". As bad as Christina is, at least she tried to get people to believe she's sorry for her behavior unlike Olivia who isn't adult enough to be honest about her own faults and solely blames Brett. Every time Brett says or does something stupid to make me not like him, she convinces me that she's at least equally at fault. Henry asked for someone to push him beyond his comfort zone but didn't know what he was asking for. His excitement level is a 1 and he wants someone who will drag him to a level 2 or 3, and not much further than that. He seems like a pretty decent guy when you get him away from coo-coo for cocoa puffs Christina. He and Woody were funny and I like their friendship. Woody seems like a great friend to have, and Amani and he are so good together. I thought it was funny when Olivia kept complaining about Brett always looking at himself in the mirror, but Woody is the one they showed primping in front of the mirror more. What's wrong with wanting to look your best on national (international?) TV? I have high hopes for Amani & Woody, and Bennett & Amelia. I'm less certain myself about Miles & Karen. What kind of man does she want? Someone to boss her around? I really don't see how she says he's not masculine enough. All the things she says sounds like a kind of guy I would not want.

I am THRILLED never to see Henry, Cristina, Brett, and Olivia ever again! All of them exhibited obnoxious selfishness behavior. Good-bye and good riddance! I don't think standing up for himself is acting like an ass. It sounds like he held back a lot of things out of respect for Christina, until he finally broke. She fully admitted to trying to blackmail him, so I don't have a problem with him calling her out. She deserved it. If it was me, I would have called her out right away and probably would have bailed on the marriage quickly. While maybe Henry isn't suited for this show, I don't think he's a bad guy. Christina is super shady. I think he might have been undecided about calling her out, but then she acted all sunny and happy, trying to craft her own narrative. That definitely would have made me snap.
Frankly, none of us know these people - we only know the highly edited (many times, manipulatively edited) characters we see on the show. Clearly, the other participants really like Henry. Even Christina seems to like him and was friendly towards him at the reunion. That means more to me and is a better indicator of him as a person. Look at the fact that none of them seem to like Brett much, even Woody, who's the only one to have any contact with him.
I like Olivia. I can understand her frustration and hurt. I don't know how I'd react if I had to deal with Brett. He is an a-hole and it's clear the rest of the group thinks so too. NONE of them seemed disappointed that Brett didn't show up for the reunion.
From a few articles I've seen, it sounds like they really edited out some of the softer side of Karen. I think she and Miles seem really happy. Just because she's more reserved doesn't mean she isn't into him. Of the three couples who stayed together, they were the two I thought were most likely to split before the reunion, but they seem to be doing really well. She seemed happier and more relaxed. The pics that Miles posted on his Insta were super sweet.
I'm always so glad to see Kevin Frasier on these reunion specials. He really gets in there and probes around. Much better than the softballs that Jamie lobs at them during Unfiltered.
Bennett and Amelia sang that song for KF twice and still didn't get a movie recommendation

I did not know there were spoilers. If you look upthread, we started discussing the spoilers that MAFSFan posted on Instagram in July, right when the season started They posted which couples stayed together and which didn't as soon as each of the wedding episodes aired.
Really curious about the Atlanta season because, in that preview, it sounds like that one guy says something about someone (his new wife?) being pregnant and it looks like it's at the wedding. THAT would be a series first!

He's acting like an ass and people should tell him he's acting like an ass. Then, maybe he'll stop acting that way. Please don't confuse what I'm saying about Henry with defending Christina, because I'm not, for she clearly crossed the line, too. The line I'm talking about isn't about defending oneself. It's about humiliating the other. With that said, in respect to future relationships, if she gets it and works on being real and stress triggers, I think she's redeemable. If he gets it, he's the same old Henry that struggles with looking people in the eye and romantic relationships beyond the five dates mark. Heck, he couldn't even answer the, would you do it again question. My guess is the experts thought Christina would snuggle into the role of making Henry feel comfortable. Oh, well. BTW, I don't find it at all remarkable for an airline stewardess to not have a permanent housing situation even in her base community and, wherever it was, she let it go during her expected 2 month MAFS commitment. The edit could have easily presented this reality, instead of as reason for Henry not to trust Christina, but it didn't and it's likely Christina's punishment for treating the production staff like crap.

I have Instagram , but I am not using it. My daughter made me the account and we forgot to write down the password. I can't get in now. So I did not see that. I wonder how the Atlanta season will turn out if it starts like that. Attachments:

We generally do post the spoilers here - in spoiler tags, of course - when we find them Speaking of Insta, I was looking at the various cast members' feeds and some of the pics were very telling. Firstly, Christina seems to have deleted her account and Bennett and Amelia both have theirs set to private. All of the rest, save Brett, all have pics of their spouses or friends from the show. On Olivia's Insta are pics from Amani's birthday party in September. Obviously, B&A were not there because they're in Richmond, but who else was missing from the pics? Brett and Christina. In one of the party pics, Olivia is holding a Cards Against Humanity card that says, "If you don't pee in the shower, you should try it sometime. Also, try taking a drink." Henry's Insta has a really cute pic of him with Miles and Woody in Mexico. I love that friendship! Maybe it wouldn't have worked out either, but I do wonder what would have happened if they'd matched Henry and Olivia.

They finally aired the reunion show here in Canada last night.
Woody and Amari are so cute together, loved the ring. The editing was really bad though. One minute Woody had his shirt done up next it was opened. Amardidnt have her ring on when they were all talking either.
Love that Miles and Karen live down the street from them. They seem to be getting along well.
Bennett and Amelia look happy too. Their home doesn’t look all a mess like there apartment, it was put together nice. Not sure what the whole song was about...lol
Olivia and Brett , why does she care if he dates they are getting a divorce.
Christina hasn’t changed. But love that the guys said Henry can really open up with the guys.
I saw a picture of Henry and Olivia on Instagram wonder what that was about.
Over all I liked this season. Can’t wait for a new season in January.

I saw a picture of Henry and Olivia on Instagram wonder what that was about. Olivia posted the picture of them. They were out with the 2 other couples of Miles/Karen and Woody/Amani. She posted a group photo and then one of just the 2 of them. People in the comments are telling them they should date but she hasn’t responded. I do think it would have been interesting to see them paired together instead
