Married At First Sight Season 11 Episode 10 Recap and Thoughts

First off I apologize for the audio. Seems like I was picking up sound from two different microphones. I really wanted to try and do it live but seems like I’ve got a few more kinks to work out!

Overall I’d say this was a good week for our couples. A few issues for some of our couples but I’d say the majority of the couples took steps forwards tonight.

It was interesting to get our first reminder that this was being filmed right around the beginning of corona virus. I remember when all the stores were sold out of hand sanitizer and toilet paper. It’s going to be very interesting watching our couples navigate things as the world changes around them.

Might as well jump into our first couple for the week, Christina and Henry. I’d call this a good week for them even if they had a bit of a fight after Henry over shared with Amani. It’s good to finally see this couple getting closer together because they’ve felt like strangers for most of the season. I still don’t know if they have enough time to get enough out of each other to make a decision but I’m still keeping a bit of hope open.

Last week ended real bad for Miles and Karen. I wasn’t sure if they’d be able to recover after their talk about intimacy spiraled to a really bad place. I think it was very good of Karen to essentially recommit to Miles and forgive his behavior. Miles seemed genuinely ashamed of what he had done and I think Karen needed to see that before being able to move forward. We saw a lot more affection from Karen today and it really felt like she was in the relationship tonight. The full body massage seemed right up Miles’ alley and I think that really helped the couple. The relationship can’t just be about what Miles and do for Karen but what they can do for each other.

Next up we have Amani and Woody. Not much to report here, they are still doing great. The only thing really looming over the couple right now is Woody saying he was in love with Amani. I think they’ve handled it well so far but there is now pressure on Amani to get to the same place that Woody is. I think it’s important for Amani to feel things at her own pace and not feel forced into saying I love you before she is ready.

Amelia and Bennett are still amazing. Today it was Bennett’s turn to do something nice for Amelia so he cooked her dinner and invited over some singers to sing for her, it was super cute. At the end of the episode Bennett did express concerns that he’s worried about Amelia being a bit too love blind right now and that it his experience that can be a negative in the long term for a relationship. I can’t see this road bump hinder the relationship too much and I’m still fully sold on this couple.

Lastly we have Olivia and Brett. I just can’t stand that dude. It’s becoming more apparent just how narcissistic he is. As soon as something isn’t about him or on his terms he just checks out. What a pathetic display he put on at trivia. He sounded like a 5 year old child complaining about not getting to play with his favorite toy. I’m so over Brett and I really hope that Olivia gets out of this relationship and finds a real husband.

That’s it for this week. I feel terrible about the audio quality on the live stream, I will work to get everything fixed ASAP.
