I have been dying to watch this show and yet somehow just kinda goofed around today dealing with real life stuff instead. I was shocked to see it on my DVR. Because I can’t remember a damn thing anymore. It’s like everything is a big surprise. At least this was a pleasant one. I wish to GOD they would stop saying “married to a complete stranger” every ten seconds. We get it. We actually watch the show!
Tom and Lilly
I hate this episode already. Tom came in and was asked how things were going and he says things are different and he wasn’t expecting to be “locked down.” And that was it. Then they bring in Lilly. But around all of this we waste valuable time with flashback scenes. Lilly says it has not been easy. Lilly talks about how different they are.
Tom and Lilly are still married. They just got a new place together. Instead of asking questions about specifics from the last six months, we get a rehash of the bus incident and a reminder that these two have a lot of sex. Tom says that he was impressed that Lilly gave up lots of her shoes and clothes when she moved. He also thinks she is too hard on herself. Tom says he is trying to teach her that she doesn’t need to wear makeup every time they go to dinner. She has natural beauty and doesn’t need all of that. These two are happy with no regrets.
After a break we get a scene with Tom and Lilly taking a salsa dance. Tom and Lilly are in love. Not sure when that was filmed. Tom says Lilly is the one.
Nick and Sonia
These two are still on an emotional rollercoaster. But they are still together. The photo of them above as actually tweeted by Derek just last week and they certainly appear happy. The big drama about Nick not wearing his ring was nothing. As it turns out he takes it off to play golf and left it in his golf bag.
At one point Nick reaches over and grabs Sonia’s hand and smiles like a kid in a candy store. It was very sweet. Sonia has gotten used to the dogs and has actually picked up poop. Just like Tom and Lilly, these two have moved into a new place. I liked Nick’s old place. Can I live there now?
Nick says he is happy that they stayed together and he can see the big picture now. He likes spending time with her. Sonia says she sees a lot of good in Nick. She likes just doing nothing with him. These two smiled through the entire interview. They are adorable. They are still working on meeting each others emotional needs in the way their partner wants to receive them. There was a lot of laughter and playfulness between these two. Is this a good time for me to say, “I told you so.”
We see a scene of their new place and it’s beautiful as well. Sonia’s Dad and Nick’s mom and her boyfriend come over for dinner. Nick grills out and both parents are thrilled with the match. Sonia says she thinks that Nick is going to be a fantastic father and she is excited for their future. They are a really cute couple. The dog is still between them on the bed.
At the end, Tom surprised Lilly with a beautiful engagement ring and he renewed his commitment to her. He wanted her to have a proposal. Even though they are doing everything backwards. Lilly was thrilled.
So this season we got two happily ever afters.
Derek still seemed high. Heather seemed less bitchy.
I agree with you, both couples seem to be really happy together. The experts did a great job on matching 2 of the 3 couples this season.
Couldn’t help but think that if Nick and Sonia hadn’t stayed together after this, that they may never get in a marriage because of their lack of confidence. Maybe it was just me, but throughout the show it seemed as though they relied on the fact that they had been “matched by the experts” and that held a lot of sway for them to not screw things up. They both had mentioned a couple weeks ago that if they stayed together they wanted to have a “real wedding” – I wonder if A&E will televise it?
On a side note, the false editing of these shows just to create the teasers is really annoying! Bravo’s doing it too.
I agree with the false editing. There was one where Sonia says “I don’t need him and I don’t want him”. Of course that brought a lot more of the usual Nick haters…it’s so disheartening to hear such hate…the rest of the sentence nice was “…don’t need him or want him to be as emotional as me.” I love that they are together and that her father seems to be fully in their corner..
Excellent point Bette, I hadn’t thought about the haters coming out of the woodwork – but you’re right!
I agree with you Observer2, the editing is infuriating! One minute Tom is saying he feels locked down and then he is saying how happy he is! Sonia is crying while discussing Nick’s lack of emotion and then they are laughing and holding hands. Wtf? I am happy for these couples if they are truly happy. I hope the best for them! I just hope if there is another season that editing stops playing so many games with the viewers!
I think Nick’s mom’s boyfriend is the unsung hero of this show. Love him!
When I watched the show last night , it made me very happy to see the couples still together. I was about to cry when they asked Nick about his wedding ring. But I was so HAPPY that they were together. I just love watching Married at first Sight.
Lsat paragraph, Tom surprised LILY not Sonia with a ring. . I LOVED watching nick and sonia… tom and lily were a bore!
GOD My Lyme Brain will not keep names straight.
LOL!!! just didn’t want you starting new rumors! Hahaha
Did anyone notice that she had that diamond ring on when they were talking to the experts? I did! So again, editing wanted us to think that scene was after that! Why? I kept waiting for the experts or Lilly to say something about the ring!
I didn’t notice the ring on her finger but I asked on another site if that ring was given after the last meeting with experts or not. U just answered my question. The editing is annoying
I noticed that too Teresa, so I was really disappointed to see production trying to pull it off like it was a big surprise AFTER that.
I absolutely love that Nick and Sonia are still together, I love to watch them together, sometimes I want to slap Nick on the back of his head, and say hug her hold her hand kiss her! Lord she is aching for it!, he seems to be catching on and they both seem genuinely happy. Great real couple.
He was holding her hand at the reunion and had his hand on her leg. I got 2 glimpses. But they kept the camera on those experts or had their hands cut off and it irked me. I couldn’t understand it

I agree bad editing. Lili had that engagement ring on while they were meeting with the experts. I also agree the editing to gain suspense is really bad!
Hey did anyone see the commercial that showed Vanessa and David from last season getting a second chance? I think they are going to get paired up with people who saw them on the show. Sounds like my kind of Trainwreck. I’ll be watching!
I looked it up. The show will be called Married at First Sight: Second Chances to air sometime next year.
Yes. That has been out for about 6 weeks or more. They have been filming get in Atlanta for some time… saw it on the Internet!! I think this can be true
I found Sonia emotionally annoying and needy plus hated her squeaky voice. The photo of them doesn’t convey happy couple. I don’t see admiration when Nick looks at her. The dog in the bed thing when your partner is not a dog enthusiast is dismissive. I doubt this last. Tom and Lily actually look like they respect and care about each other. I think they acknowledge their challenges and are working on blending. I think they have a good start to grow their relationship into a family 👪!
Rita I agree. Nick making all those awkward and uncomfortable faces throughout this episode was a sign to me that he is just not that overjoyed being married or being married to Sonia. I still think she could do so much better with someone who isn’t totally emotionally unattached. He loves himself and his dogs, oh yeah, and his Mom I think. I don’t like them as a couple. Sonia is annoying but she is a smart, loving and very giving person with a huge heart. I hope for her sake things work out, but I don’t like Nick. He just gives off douche vibes.
FUCK OFF WITH YOU TOO, RITA.
OMG Tamara, Derek was high as f*ck! You are right, Heather might have learned a thing or two about herself, which was kind of shocking to see! Can’t wait for the next season and I would totally be down for Second Chances, seems sheer entertainment!
RENOB, as I have repeatedly told you (or perhaps just thought in my head) Your repeatedly negative comments are mean and stupid. Just please shut the fuck up while the rest of us are happy for them.
You sound like some jealous bitch that Nick dated previously. You have no concept of different personality types, no acceptance of introverts and clearly do not understand that every one in the world is not just like you.
FURTHERMORE, it pains me when you post comments here that I worry that Nick, HIS WIFE, or his mother or her boyfriend might be offended by.
Yet you never know when to shut the fuck up about stuff you don’t understand or maybe don’t want to accept. Nick and Sonia are happy and fucking adorable. With all the other tired shit on this blog that is FULL of negativity, why do you INSIST on running in here with negativity on a blog about HAPPLY FUCKING EVER AFTERS? SIT THE FUCK DOWN OR GET THE FUCK OUT.
I apologize for not having the exact opinion as you. Isn’t that the point of allowing comments? So people can share their perspectives and/or opinions? If agreeing with everything you post is a “rule” than I missed that one. And in case you missed it, NICK screaming in a drunken rage that he is not attracted to Sonia for the world to see after he slept with her makes them a sweet couple. In fact, he seems like a great guy, just a little introverted… Yeah.
Wow, way to miss the point. Here is a clue, it’s not about agreeing it’s about not being a huge cunt, especially on a public post that the people you are dragging could read it, and the hostess doesn’t welcome.
It’s so not nice of me to be laughing right now. hahahahaha Hurry Banjo, hide!
Another night of insomnia, so I finally watched the last episode of MAFS. I’m happy for both of the couples, but unlike some here, I actually see the most promise between Nick and Sonia. In my opinion, she’s smart to be patient with him about his reticence to give overt attention and public displays of affection. So often a quiet, introverted man grows into a loving and fully committed partner. Too many men talk for the sake of hearing themselves talk, but don’t mean much of what they say. Men like Nick don’t say much, but when they do speak it’s very worth listening to what they say, because they mean it. I think most of the Nick haters are women who need of a lot of attention. They would trade 10 authentic words for 1000 words of bullshit as long as their mate is telling them what they want to hear, and most of it would be along the lines of, “babe your so hot”, Gag me with a spoon.
Ugh…”you’re so hot”.
Thank you!!!!
