Decision Day on Married At First Sight and one couple hit us with a surprise decision.

Well lets go straight to the bombshell of the episode, Miles and Karen decided to stay married? Why? They have no romantic connection whatsoever, no physical connection whatsoever but yet they decide to stay married? There must be something we haven’t seen between them because I’m honestly shocked they are still married.

Next up we have two couples that also decided to stay together but actually seem like good couples. Amani and Woody were so happy to see each other and even had the experts crying as they expressed their love together. Bennett took his love even a step further as he revealed his tattoo of Amelia’s initials on his butt. So happy both these couples decided to stay together.

And then on the other side of things we had the two couples most doomed for failure. Olivia and Brett split six weeks ago so no surprises there. Brett did do a better job of actually participating in a conversation, something he wasn’t great at this season. Henry and Christina were just a terrible match, add to that the accusations that Henry was gay and this couple was headed to divorce.

Reunion episode next week and I’m interested to see if Miles and Karen are still together.

A pretty wild week before we head into decision day next week. Two couples seem headed toward doom and two that were looking great left the episode with more questions than they answered.

I don’t even know where to start tonight. Lots to discuss about all four of the remaining couples and a lot to digest from tonights episode.

Might as well just dive right in with Amelia and Bennett. They’ve been amazing all season long but the definitely hit a strange issue tonight. Bennett was asking Amelia why she came on the show and Amelias answer was more or less that she thought it would be fun to be on a reality show. It almost seemed like it was just something to do before the next chapter in her life. A bad vibe to end on before heading into decision day.

I’d say we got a pretty clear picture of what decision day holds for Miles and Karen, they will not be staying together. After spending four loveless months together, it’s become clear that these two just don’t work together. They are clearly looking for something different from a partner than what they are receiving and I’m pretty sure Miles rejected a kiss from Karen as she left before decision day. The outlook is grim!

Another couple that is clearly going to say no on decision day is Christina and Henry. Henry has made up his mind and there is no redemption possible for these two. While it did seem like Christina kind of turned a corner tonight, her behavior this season has to make you question her sincerity in everything. Too little too late for this couple and I expect to see these two heading their separate ways next week.

Lastly we have Woody and Amani, who ended on a very bad note this week. I’ve been optimistic about this pair all season long but they haven’t been perfect by any stretch. The issue tonight happened right before the couple parted before decision day. Amani and Woody were talking about what was going to happen on decision day and they started talking about what would happen if Amani said no. Woody really spiraled out of control during the conversation and dug himself a huge hole. Combine that with them getting a very bad edit in the preview for next week and you have to start wondering if these two will be parting ways next week.

A lot going on this week and I’m really looking forward to decision day.

Our couples head off on a weekend retreat as time begins to run out on the season.

Well let’s jump straight into tonight’s episode. First up we’ve got Miles and Karen. At this point it’s starting to feel like this couple just hasn’t given the relationship a chance this season. Well more specifically, Karen hasn’t given the relationship a chance this season. They are roughly 3 months into their relationship and still have no level of romance or intimacy. They seem like good friends but definitely not husband and wife.

After getting hit with a bombshell accusation about Henry’s sexuality at the end of last episode, I was expecting a lot more drama from this couple this week. I think it’s safe to say things are not working out with those two.

Amani and Woody had a weird week. We get glimpses of them being great together and then glimpses of Woody spouting off on some random crap that really seems to not put Amani in a good mood. I think Woody nees to work on being a little bit clear about thins at times because he has a tendency to really dig himself holes while not ever getting to his real point.

Lastly, Amelia and Bennett are as cute as ever and I love them dearly.

Well that’s one way to blow past 6 weeks in this show. The couples were left alone for 6 weeks in quarantine and I’m not sure if anything really changed between any of them.

First off I just want to point out how awful the experts were tonight. Why was their no remote meetings between the couples and the experts for six whole weeks? And then you have the meetings and the experts almost exclusively gave bad advice. Yikes. Time for some new experts please.

Two bombshells dropped tonight. First off Olivia and Brett are done. I think most of us have been waiting for this to happen all season long. Brett is a man child and just not ready for a relationship of any substance. He couldn’t accept responsibility for any of his actions all season long and then snuck away while Olivia was out. I’m so over Brett.

Second we end the episode with Christina essentially accusing Henry of being gay after someone contacted her saying that he had been meeting up with Henry and having sex with him. A very bizarre turn whether this is true or pure fabrication. This relationship was already on the rocks and now I can’t see any way they manage to stay together on decision day.

Overall a pretty good week for our couples. I’d say we only had one couple take steps backwards this week but with covid and a quarantine looming on the horizon that could change in the coming weeks.

First up lets talk about Olivia and Brett. This couple is headed towards a divorce right now and I honestly don’t see that changing any time soon. I got the feeling that Brett has checked out of this relationship now. His attitude and body language did not look like a man committed to his wife and marriage. I hated how he tried to flip every problem back onto Olivia today, when we can all clearly see that he is the problem here. Can we sub in a new man for Olivia please?

A pretty good week for Woody and Amani. Their one monther anniversary seemed like a good moment for them. Woody is very much set on having and doing nice things which is both a good and bad thing. It’s nice that he wants the best for Amani but the lifestyle doesn’t quite seem realistic. Seemed like he wanted to use a good chunk of their budget of frivolous things and I hope that Amani can rein Woody in a bit on that subject.

Amelia and Bennett are in love! I was so happy when we found out Bennett had said I love you and Amelia responded soon after. I just love this couple and they really seem perfect together. Their biggest hurdle is going to be Bennett deciding if he wants to move with Amelia and I’m really hoping he does.

Since Karen and Miles have slowed things down, I think their relationship has really improved. Taking sex off the table was a great idea for them and its nice to see this couple making progress again. It feels like they are growing much closer right now and I’m slowly gaining optimism for them.

Lastly we’ve got Henry and Christina. Felt like we saw very little of them this week and their biggest moments came while talking with other people. Each of them has a big issue in the relationship that might prove insurmountable for the couple. Henry is not happy with the way Christina can be overtly rude at times. And Christina is looking for a more assertive man. I really don’t think they have enough time left to get their relationship to a point where they’d both say yes on decision day.

The next few weeks are going to be very interesting as we get deeper into the pandemic. Sounds like the couples will be headed into quarantine and their relationships will be put to the test.

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.
