Yeah Alyssa isn’t even giving Chris a chance at all. His friends didn’t help either. Even the one at other lunch telling her is is second to his job. How does he know this. Felt really bad for Chris on this.honeymoon while everyone is staying with there wives. He doesn’t even know why she is like this.
Yes I wish we could have seen how this fight went on the plane. Was surprised how O told his wife she she let it go and said if she didn’t she would be in fighting mode when she saw her again.
Steve and no job would still bother me, even his dad mentioned it.
Mark’s eyes say it all….lol
Michael is very quiet. Glass half empty kind of guy she doesn’t like that.

The experts should have done a bit more interviewing and /or researching backgrounds. The choice I’d Alyssa should have been presentable. And honestly Chris shouldn’t have been picked either She is clearly a very edgy defensive person and a skilled interviewer or an intuitive person could have known that. I don’t blame her for not wanting to be married to Chris. She has a perfect right not to be attracted to him. But the way she’s handling it seems both unnecessarily unkind and blaming.
He hasn’t done anything to her by not being her type and he isn’t forcing himself on her. On the other hand his response isn’t much better. “This isn’t what I expected” is a bit primitive and inarticulate as a level,of analysis of the situation and his response. He strikes me as a bit slow and certainly not very thoughtful or self aware. Aside from his appearance someone so dull and unself-aware does not seem at all capable of coping or being a partner to with someone as complex and hyper sensitive (in a not particularly good way) temperament as Alyssa.

Is Alyssa for real with her "swimming is not an activity" and being mad at her mom for telling her how she's going to look on TV? Sometimes people are not your type but she's over the top with being mad at Chris for being in that situation. I can't wait to see next week when she tries to blame him for trying to make her look bad. So far I can't see where he's done anything of the sort.

Next week's preview shows Alyssa reminding us once again that she’s really a good person. Of course she’s also having a psychotic breakdown too.

No matter what Alyssa is talking about all I can see is her thought bubble..."He's not pretty enough for me!" I'm sure she thought the producers would set her up with someone to her standards. lol

I'm really enjoying After-party with Keisha; she's not afraid to dig a little deeper.

Probably Alyssa is being told that she’s going to come across badly on tv, by all and sundry as well as the producers and her mother etc. Plus who wouldn’t feeldefensive? She seems like a pretty defensive persn in the first place— but she can’t help but know she being mean and writing him off probably about half way down the aisle. thus the need to keep saying over and over again that she was a good person. No one says that if they think the way they’re acting is truly kind.
. I get the feeling that she’s a pretty harsh person who gets put off easily and then just shuts people down. she probably was hoping for someone a lot more dashing and obviously high status than Chris. And literally took one look at hm and saw that he didn’t fit her fantasy at all— at which point all she felt was trapped and let down and wanting to get away from the whole thing.— but she is actually trapped. The producers aren’t going to let her go without her producing some “good tv.” She may not be a very likeable person but I sort of feel sorry for her

Pssst...hey Alyssa, do you get the feeling that the; producers, editors, camera people, musical director and your castmates may not think you're a "Good Person"? lol I also imagine there may be a few colleagues, friends and ex's that may be saying "yea...that's how I remember her"

She's too much! She keeps saying how nice she's been to Chris but that hasn't been that we've seen. Is she so deluded that she believes what she's saying? Obviously it sounds like her mom was trying to tell her about herself but she wasn't listening. I think she thinks that because she didn't yell at him that she was "being nice". Otherwise her words make no sense with reality. I guess she doesn't realize that her covert rudeness isn't nice? Telling the producers she hates him seems OTT to an extreme. Is that the part of herself that she thinks is a nice, good person? I think once she saw Chris he had zero chance with her. Then his friends gave her the ammo she needed to convince herself that he was not suited for her and his chances slipped below zero percent. I think the only chance, at about a 1% chance, would have been if he had told her he'd buy her a horse when she asked him on their wedding day. Smh over the producers having to explain to her that it's MAFS, not single at first sight. What "experience" does she think the producers want to pay for her to have if it's not to even slightly pretend to try to be married? "They're just hand gestures" would be funny (funnier?) If it weren't kinda sad that she's really building him up to be some horrible guy over her perceived nonsense.

I’m wondering if Alyssa is a plant. All evidence suggests not, but I’m baffled how a 30 year old woman could be so delusional.
Chris is a saint. He’s been persecuted, slandered, embarrassed, and belittled. He’s never retaliated, lost his cool, or been snarky. I really admire his personality. He would make someone a good husband.
I read that Alyssa is receiving awful messages through the animal rescue organization for which she works. That is totally uncalled for. I hope that the messages and backlash stop.
If we are seeing the real Alyssa, I hope this “experience” helps her change her attitude and behavior.

If Alyssa can write him off as soon as she sees him because of his teeth, being MAFS is not for her. And the experts should have picked up on that and not chosen her.
Chris should be added to the Deserves a Do-over list.

That was painful lol I had a tough time listening to Cal, our communication styles wouldn't mesh. Even when I agreed with him I found myself rolling my eyes. Too many people have watched too many therapy shows or read too many "self help" books. Everyone seems to have ready made rehearsed answers which include the corresponding cliche; "I want us to go forward from here", "I need you to fill up your tank", "I don't feel heard". Michael...his wife has mentioned she has a male roommate, introduced him to male roommate. Just in conversation...not a confession...you would mention that you had two female roommates. When your wife directly asks if you had ever lived with a woman, the answer is "why yes, I currently live with two". Why...why would say you never have? That's weird. Alyssa...Cal and Chris didn't even try to be hard on her. They held back making her look bad. Yet somehow Alyssa still manages to solidify all the thoughts we've had about whether we agree that she's "a good person". At least she didn't throw in a "I'm going to walk away from this conversation now".

At least she didn't throw in a "I'm going to walk away from this conversation now". you pretty much summed up what I was thinking as I was watching it. I don't even know why Michael lied about having one female roommate much less try to cover up the second one once the first was discovered. He had already straight up lied about living with a female so maybe he thought he had to double down? I think I'd have a very difficult time trusting him after that. The time to tell about it was the very first time it came up at their wedding. "Oh, you have a male roommate, how interesting, I have two female roommates." When he didnt though at least he didn't straight out lie; that came later. Alyssa was trying to find reasons not to like Chris. She as much as admitted tonight that she checked out when she walked down the aisle and he wasn't what she thought she was putting her order in for. Does she know it's not a restaurant or an online store where you get exactly what you demand? I don't blame him for deciding he wasn't going to put up wth the sham she was trying to get away with. He's right, that's not a marriage by any set of normal standards.

Yeah you all been saying what I’m been thinking so far.
Was so happy Chris decided to say this was decision day. Was afraid he wasn’t when he moved in the apartment. I would love to see when Chris watches and finds out how it all went down. I don’t get the after show.
Everyone’s marriage is going down it seems.
Why Michael lied about the roommates? Weird. Jasmine not staying the first night in the apartment weird.
Lindsey saying Mark acts differently when cameras are down. He was acting weird at the end of the honeymoon.
O and Katina , tried of hearing the meal on the table thing.
Steve and Noi I must have missed her back ground ,why would they match her with an unemployed person. Weird there first fight is about the number of kids.

Mark and Lindsey: I totally get Mark. I would find Lindsey exhausting. Lindsey should have the maturity to know when to scale back on the energy, when to edit what she says, when to give someone a little space. Mark is an adult, he’s capable of doing things on his own. He doesn’t need a mother.
Alyssa and Chris: I’m so relieved that I don’t have to see Alyssa anymore. Her eye rolls and snark were getting old. Right to the end, Chris maintained his professionalism and diplomacy. I admire him.
Noi and Steve: I got a little annoyed about Steve wanting to pursue his dream rather than find a full time job with benefits. Marriage and family require being responsible. That includes having health insurance, 401K, educational fund for future children, and a rainy day fund. Noi grew up in poverty and realizes how important it is to be fiscally responsible.

I do not believe we have seen the last of Alyssa. She believes she is entitled to the MAFS experience. Which means hanging out with women she has known for 5 days, and who are all busy with their new husbands. She will be horrified when she watches this and sees how she was "edited", as she really is. She won't get it. I'd like to hear from some of her exes. I'm thinking they will not say she is really the nicest person. But she is really. She said so. A million times.

The problem with Steve is that if you don’t want a conventional life, which is a perfectly respectable position , you should be extremely clear to others on this. Steve apparent Ly wasn’t clear , or sufficiently clear, with the experts. No matter how compatible emotionally or on other dimensions. Two people are, they won’t be happy ifone wants to follow his dream and his imagination or to be a wanderer, and the other wants stability and a steady income stream and a grounded life. But this seems like the kind of thing the “experts” should figure out.
by the way, does Steve have a talent or an artistic vocation or another concrete commitment that he’s made, or some unconventional project he wants to pursue, or does he so far just have vague dreams of wandering or seeing the world?

These people are all players. They figure if it doesn’t work out for them on the show, they will have the pick of the cream after the show with all the offers they will get. Not one is in it for real commitment except maybe Noi. Maybe the experts should stop picking all the “pretty people” and concentrate on normal sized, fake eyelash and hair extension less, and guys with jobs and no recent engagements. How about interviewing their friends and social media sites before interviewing them. Yikes!! I could go on and on.

I really would like to have been a fly on the wall each evening when the crew got together to discuss that day's filming lol I can imagine a lot of "you've got to see what she did today!". Tonight's episode proved again that the crew and producers did not like Alyssa one little bit. The editing of her "lunch" with a friend was fantastic. No matter what Alyssa tried to do to spin her tale, the producers had receipts and in many cases several lol.
Feeling for Mark the Shark. His face has a constant look of "oh...this isn't good". Lyndsey is too much.
I can't pick a relationship that I have full confidence in making it to decision day let alone a life long happy marriage.
Again I believe that the casting is done for "good tv" rather than any attempt to find great couples.

I was surprised to see Alyssa and Chris again this show.
Yeah I really don’t think any of these couples are going to make it.
Had to get used to O’s new haircut. It was nice of him to do that for her.
Thought it was funny that Jasmine’s friend said she is just like Michael . Always has to be right.
Lyndsey really lost it last night in the bathroom, heck the whole bowling alley could hear her.
Noi leaves and doesn’t text. He over cooked the pasta…lol he put it on. Still a weird fight.
