Sadly, unless you go to "other online sources," it's not easy to find episodes from other MAFS series. On YouTube, it's just little clips.

Amber wanted to go into a retirement home at 55 , I better start packing my bags....lol. How could she not figure out how old her kids would be when she is that age. Like he said your in your prime then, far from old age homes that is for sure.
Mia being told to leave, I think he was just at his breaking point. Don't know anything about your health care so not sure if he was just going to go on hers? I can't believe after he just said she is still my wife etc. He just wants to hold on to a bad situation so bad.
Bobby will do or go anywhere Danielle wants. Is he a workaholic and not ever want to retire. What does he do?

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 did like Dave teasing Amber as he was explaining the math to her. She seemed to take that rather well and joked back with him. That conversation was a glimmer of hope for their relationship. If she can get a grip on her freakouts and if he can temper his speech with a touch more sensitivity they might have a chance. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with most of what he's said, but it's clear she needs him to be a little less than down-to-earth when speaking to her. From last week's episode when they decided to call someone else to finish that piece of furniture and have a drink instead was pretty funny too!
Tristan didn't come off looking quite so good, but he should have gotten out at the beginning before it could get to this point. Her charges of stalking should have alarmed them all a lot more than they appeared to.
A few cracks in Danielle and Bobby's communications, but overall I think they'll make it. It's probably good for them to have some things to talk over while they still have experts around consistently. Bobby's smile and shine in his eyes when reading her letter was so sweet. It was visibly obvious that it meant something to him.

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. soapdirt.com/married-at-first-sight-dave-amber-brunette-hair-change-save-marriage/

Wow, she really does look better with it darker. Even if she goes back to being blond at some point she should not go back to that same blond. I don't think it's flattering on her.

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.

MAFS:Honeymoon Island premieres Oct 23 and MAFS:Happily Ever After Oct 30
Looks like Honeymoon Island will have the same premise as Love at 1st Flight but with the experts in the mix.
Happily ever after, we have 2 confirmed couples ASquared and Shawniece & Jepthe both expecting babies. Still waiting to see the 3rd couple but I'm thinking it's Bobby and Danielle. Even if Amber and Dave stay together I doubt that want to stay in front of the camera but I could be wrong. They would bring the drama..
I will be watching but as with MAFS with no particular expectations lol

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?

So either 3 things they put the wrong due date in the registry, they are 2 weeks over due and will be going in next week for scheduled induction or they are keeping it under wraps. Jepthe but a question and answer said the baby wasn't born yet. Shawniece said on her Twitter all will be revealed when the season starts Oct 30th. I personal feel the baby was born because Shawniece disappeared from SM for close to a month. I also think the registry had the wrong date because their Shower was months ago. I think they will put a birth announcement either way closer to the start of season..

Apparently you've misunderstood what I wrote. I was referring to ALL of these types of shows in which people are introduced to fall in love, or to be married at first sight. There have been quite a few of these types of shows over the years, and many of them have produced a number of couples who have gone on to have long term relationships and/or to marry. And quite a few of the couples have children. And by the way, apparently you're not aware of ALL of the "Married At First Sight" shows in multiple countries, (for example, US, Australia, Israel, Denmark, UK, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Poland, and perhaps others.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married_at_First_SightI stand corrected. Didn't know there were any other Married at First Sight shows. I apologize if my opinion was offensive 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.

I wonder if seeing herself on tv showed Amber how fried her hair looked and how the color does not really suit her.

Does anyone know if Dr. Jessica and Jonathan Francetic are still dating? I can't find a thing... I'm not really sure they ever were together? They just posted a couple of pictures together doing a marathon/walk thing. Jonathan posted on Twitter that it's crazy how many rumors there are about him. So who knows!

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.

Tristan should have confirmed insurance arrangements before canceling his insurance. Any normal person would have done that. And the question would be, "What else would he do?" He was quite a jerk putting her bags out. I am a divorced person. My husband didn't get to touch my stuff; and I did not touch his. Tristan has really just been playing for the cameras. Think what he would be doing if there were no cameras around. He probably stayed with Mia so he could stay on tv or continue to get public attention.
It looks like Mia might be the one getting saved by a divorce.
It seems like any couple should give it a "try" at the decision date unless they are worn out.

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...

With Mia and Tristan I think we miss a lot of there conversation , something sure is missing.
I do like Bobbie and Danielle. Sure hope they make it , nothing showed to us makes me believe they don't. So she doesn't say I love you back yet. At least she knows that is what he wants and says she can't quite yet.
Amber and Dave, some times I think they will make it and other times I think not. Neither on is good at communicating stuff. Maybe they just need more time.

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.

I recorded and watched last night's episode this morning. I really liked Dave's friend, Adrian. He speaks the truth. No matter how often Dave tells Amber he is attracted to her or how often they make love, Amber intuitively feels Dave is not into her, which only fuels her insecurities further. And Dave is still on the fence and rates his marriage a 5/10 after almost 7 weeks! He may stay married on decision day but I do not see him staying in this marriage long term. I had to chuckle at Amber's skin care regime. For a young woman she uses so many products. I'm sure Dave was not all that interested in her beauty regime but had to go along for the sake of the cameras. They are still so stiff and formal with each other. Amber is a bundle of neuroses and seems downright silly at times (that whole conversation about retiring at 55 and not realizing she was probably going to have a teenager at that age and not any grandkids). However, I am pretty sure she has a good job so she can't be as dim witted as she seems sometimes. Dave, for sure, is not my cup of tea. I get that he is very analytical which makes sense considering his occupation, but he comes off as very cold. No warmth emanating from him at all. And he is cheap, too. When his friend Adrian suggested sending Amber flowers a few times a month to let her know he cared or to make her feel somewhat more secure in the relationship (b/c he was telling Dave that sometimes actions are needed more than words), Dave made some comment about text messages being cheaper. GRRR! 7 weeks into the marriage and Dave says he is still 'squarely on the fence' and rates his marriage a 5 out of 10. If I were Amber I would NOT be doing the horizontal mambo with Dave twice daily, as Dave is so quick to brag about on camera. Sex does not equal love and Amber, however neurotic and insecure, seems like a genuinely nice person and deserves better.
Tristan and Mia are a disaster. I also read on another board speculation that Tristan's businesses were doing poorly which is why he wanted to be placed on Mia's health insurance policy. No speculation that he had been dropped due to non-payment of premiums, but rather that he was looking to save a chunk of change. Whatever the reason, it was stupid of Tristan to cancel his policy without making sure he was on Mia's policy.
Danielle and Bobby will stay married on Decision Day and I hope Danielle is just camera shy and will grow to love Bobby or perhaps already is saying ILY privately off-camera to Bobby. Otherwise, their dynamic will be that he is giving all of the time and Danielle is taking, with no reciprocity. Not talking just about all that Bobby does for her, but emotionally he needs her to be more forthcoming with her feelings about him and learn to verbalize them.
Oh and one more thing I remembered...I did NOT like Dave trying to malign Bobby and Danielle's relationship. He is just jealous of them and should mind his own beeswax.

And then he says to Bobby I'm at a 5 but he's having sex with her EVERY NIGHT according to him....

Nobody needs to hear that and the way he says it doesn't sound respectful of Amber at all. I know they ask them all kinds of personal questions but I prefer someone like Danielle who doesn't feel the need to share too many details. Of course that did backfire on her because they made them go to that stupid sex yoga class, or whatever it was. I found that off-putting. Her not wanting to share too many intimate details with the world does not mean she's like that with Bobby. They both said they had consummated their marriage. I thought it was disrespectful of her wishes to send them someplace like that.

GRRR! ... Oh and one more thing I remembered...I did NOT like Dave trying to malign Bobby and Danielle's relationship. He is just jealous of them and should mind his own beeswax. 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.

Ugh, I see that Tristan & Mia are back together on next week’s episode. I’m glad she has filed for divorce. They just need to be DONE. Possible business woes as a reason for Tristan wanting to get on Mia’s insurance are starting to make sense.
Dave has mentioned twice that he & Amber have sex every night & never miss. Hearing that the first time was more than enough.
We know that Daniellle & Bobby stay together beyond decision day because of the recent photo of them together at McDonalds.

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. Danielle doesn't have to say I love you now; they have know each other a month and she's possibly had a hard and unemotional childhood. She seems to love him and will probably say it soon so I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Also, Dr. Pepper was working her camera real hard to show off her garden.

I'm glad this season is almost over; I can barely watch the episodes anymore.
Tristan and Mia are a disaster, and I don't care about either one of them. Horrible casting. The show should be embarrassed about these two.
Dave is cold and acts like a jerk, and Amber's a mess. Her jealousy and being so high-maintenance is so unattractive (her underbite bothers me to look at too, but she can't help that). I missed seeing her with brown hair -- was that on a recap episode with Jamie or something? I can't see them staying together because they barely seem to like each other.
Bobby and Danielle are okay. They seem like a fine enough couple, but I don't get the appeal of either of them and neither is very interesting or dynamic, so I get bored. Those eyebrows, though, could get a show of their own!!
And do we need to hear on EVERY episode, from about EVERY couple: "The reason I got married at first sight was..."??? We KNOW the name of the show, we KNOW you got married at first sight by now. STOP saying it! It sounds so scripted and false.
I sure hope they do a better job next season with choosing people. I'd take another Jephte and Shawniece!
