Married At First Sight

I can't figure out Mia at all. But if it is true, who cancels medical during something like this experiment especially with such a rocky start. I can't tell if she packed up or he kicked her out. I still find her to be off and clingy and just too needy with her self worth tied up in what others think.

I like amber and Dave. “ maybe our 12 year old son will come and visit us” I think it is easy to have a side desire when you don't have kids or think they are a possibility. 55 community is appealing to those that don't have kids.

Danielle and Bobby are cute. A little vanilla. She clearly likes him and I think they are sweet together. Some issues to work out but what marriage dosen't.

I feel like I missed something in that discussion about Tristan canceling his health insurance. Doesn't Mia have her own insurance through her job? I felt like Tristan's meltdown had WAY more to do that what happened in that one disagreement. I think he's been suppressing a lot of uncertainties about Mia since the incident at the airport and it all came out in one moment. I can't blame him. She hasn't shown herself to be a trustworthy or honest person.

Someone found an, apparently, recent photo of Amber as a brunette and she looks SO much better.

Agreed. Her hair looks so much healthier and shinier. The blonde hair just looks dry and brittle, like hay. Plus, unless you're Madonna 20+ years ago, those dark roots are not cool. I don't know how she could look at those two pictures and not see how much prettier and younger she looks as a brunette.

If Shawniece and Jephte's baby registry is to be believed, their baby was due September 14th. I wonder if they're keeping a baby announcement on the down-low, in light of the upcoming premier?

Thanks, rockytopchick,   I hope I wasn't offensive either.

Mia and Tristan=whoa. I think Mia is a fruit loop dingus, but I think she made valid points in this latest episode. I would be ticked if my new husband just quit his health insurance and assumed that he would be added to mine without discussing it first. It's a major thing to discuss and involves the future; like if you want the option to stay at home with potential kids, you couldn't if everyone was on your work insurance. Not to mention they have only known each other a month and they may not even be together past the next week; why join health insurances???? I know Tristan was dealing with a lot with her, but I can't respect someone so eager to marry and then throwing out your spouse ; literally packing up their stuff for them and throwing it in a hallway. Interesting that Mia files later on; I wonder if he threw her out again. I mean, I guess she was desperate for it to work , b/c I would not have taken someone back if they literally threw me out like trash.  And what's with Tristan putting it all on her?  Mia was like um we should discuss health insurance before you just cancel it; if I'm moving to another city w/o family around we really need to be discussing important crap together and Tristan was all like "just get out" while he threw her texas sign at her.  Then he was like she just gave up on me and left. Um, unless something happened off camera that's not what happened.  I dunno; they are both weird and shady.

Amber and dave were much better this time around.  She looks tons better as a brunette. 

Does anyone know if Dr. Jessica and Jonathan Francetic are still dating?
I can't find a thing...

I am the first to admit that I am not Mia's biggest fan. She's kind of been shady since the beginning. I think last episode Tristan wasn't his best self when he kicked her out. I mean, sure, she could've said she was leaving first, but he was the one who threw things like a baby and left her standing in the hallway like she was fired from the marriage. But I felt bad for her on this last episode. It's obvious they are over. They never should've gone to Austin together. I don't blame her for leaving Austin after spending the car ride in tears, but I also feel bad for Tristan. Yikes.

I still think Bobby and Danielle make it, and Dave and Amber split.

I'm sorry but Tristan is a Jerk and I'm not even a fan of Mia. That said she clearly stated infront of the expert that he kicked her out and he never said anything then. We saw him remove her stuff from "his" house. He didn't meet with the guys of the show because he was clearly ashamed.

So blowing up at Mia was completely unnecessary and on top of that to bring up stuff you insisted on continuing the marriage despite of was abusive and disgusting. And then it's like you don't want her but she's also not allowed to leave Tristan is a child...

There is speculation on another board that Tristian's business is failing badly. That he didn't quit his insurance; he was dropped b/c he couldn't pay the premiums. So he was desperate to glom onto Mia's insurance and was trying to hide his money troubles from her. Even if they separated, she would still be responsible for him on her insurance until the divorce was final, and then he would be eligible for COBRA which may have been cheaper than his self employed plan. Shady shady if that is true. Mia shouldn't have to pay for his insurance.

Mia and Tristan are both shady. What we see doesn't make sense. We know she lies, she's been caught at her lies. We watched Tristan throw her out of the apartment. Did she say she wanted to leave? Who packed her bags he was so willing to chuck out the door? Then, at the hotel, we know she left. Her story about worrying he would abandon her without a car makes no sense since, clearly, she found a way to go somewhere else, according to him, in the middle of the night.

My hopes for Dave and Amber go up and down. She's very on edge and often irrational. He never told her her didn't like her hair, etc. She often imagines the worst. That would be so taxing to live with. But I'm not sure Dave respects her like he could/should. IMO, he listens to others who tell him he's not acting right with an open mind. He does seem to take in what others say and what he could improve. However, he doesn't seem to do the same with her. Maybe she sees/senses that and it's a partial source for her insecurities. His friend seemed to think he needs to change some to help her insecurities.

I think Bobby and Danielle will stay together. Of course he wants her to say "I love you" back but I think it would not be a reason for him to call it quits. He's way more committed to his marriage vows alone to not wait for her to love him (or say the words). I think it's interesting that Danielle has been talking with her mom about what commitment in a long term marriage looks like.

And even that he blew off with a joke. Wholeheartedly agreed with his friend though Dave is definitely as much part of the problem and even Amber knows it that she will choose him but he may not choose her. And then he says to Bobby I'm at a 5 but he's having sex with her EVERY NIGHT according to him....

I was coming to post something about Dave's comment about text messages being cheaper! My husband was watching, and he's not the most romantic guy, but even HE said that this was a douche-y thing to say. I could maybe give him a little leeway if they'd been married a while, but they're newlyweds! They're still courting basically. He should be sending her flowers a lot if she likes that kind of thing. And she does! Dave gives good monologues and he seems rational when it's just him and the camera, but sometimes when he's with Amber he's just a jerk.

I also didn't like how he was trying to make Bobby feel bad for being in a good relationship, and insisting that something was going to go wrong.

No Tristan, Mia doesn't make you look bad; you do it to yourself. Tristan should not have brought up the past and rehashed all that in the car for hours while they were on their way to a romantic trip. Apparently Mia wasn't supposed to talk about what he did to her, just like she wasn't supposed to tell her family that they were considering moving. I don't like Mia and she shouldn't be on this show, but Tristan is just as immature. I don't blame her for crying, being distant, and then leaving. I totally believe that Tristan said something in anger about just leaving her there and she panicked and bolted; she should not have come back this time. Perhaps they made her because of her contract or something. Tristan is a manipulative person; he was worried about his image and how he would come across so he called the other couples (what? why?) probably to get his version out there first. He really wants everyone to see him as the longsuffering innocent husband. But, the truth is that he acted like an ass. He needs to own it. He can have the excuse that he had put up with a lot and it was a breaking point, but he needs to own up to his part in all this: he threw her out, said horrible crap to her in resentment and anger, and probably threatened to leave her stranded after the car ride from hell.  Sure she deserves it, but you don't treat your spouse that way, not if you want to stay married you don't (or in Tristan's case not if you want theviewing audience to believe that you are a good husband).  Marriage isn't tit for tat and sometimes you have to pick your battles and hold your tongue.  I wish he had left after she got arrested; Mia can never escape that with him.  He will hold it over her head and dig it up to use as to why he can act and say anything he wants.  I was glad he got sick after he dropped his insurance, haha.

Dave owns like two shirts and unfortunately he wore one of them in every single segment of this episode. He doesn't seem to like amber much and seems to be riding it out until decision day just for the sex. He's obsessed with Bobby's marriage. Boby and Danielle seem to be good people that were both ready for a relationship while he and Amber are not. Amber's exhausting, but I felt bad for her this episode. Dave rates them a 5 and he obviously is not interested in reassuring her beyond sex that he's attracted to her. He might send her a text; heartwarming.  Sure, Amber is annoying but you married her......that means you put in the work to help ease her insecurities and try to love her for herself.  It's not a date. Perhaps the format of the show should change so it's not married at first sight, but engaged at first sight.  Then they would have and 8 week engagement/living together and the big finish is a wedding- they show up for the wedding at the end of 8 weeks.  Some of these people don't really understand much about marriage and commitment.  It's very clear why Amber and Dave have been single for so long.
