Married At First Sight: Honeymoons Part 1

January 24, 2018 by tamaratattles 12 Comments

Jaclyn & Ryan

Ryan takes Jaclyn to swim with dolphins. She is thrilled by this date. Ryan is a jerk toward Jaclyn when she wants to play a guessing game in the sand. We are finally seeing Ryan after the excitement of getting married is starting to wear off.

The therapists have sent questions or the couples to answer. Jaclyn says that her biggest character flaw is that she is a messy eater. We have gotten to a point in our society where people don’t even know what character is. Ryan says his probably that he talks too much and could listen more. Then we get to the point of the exercise where Jaclyn has to talk about the death of her boyfriend. Ryan is very comforting and understanding towards her. These too seem be getting along great. 

Shawniece & Jephte

Aw, I just noticed in the scenes teasing the decision episode, Shawniece is crying. In real-time, the strangers go hiking in the waterfalls. Jephte is afraid to climb the actual waterfalls, Shawniece wants to go all the way to the top. They both climb to the top. Shawniece gives him a little kiss at the top of the waterfall. It’s their first kiss since the wedding ceremony.

The therapists have sent questions or the couples to answer. Shawniece says that her biggest character flaw is shutting down emotionally. Jephte says his is his stubbornness. I can’t keep talking about Jephte. I think we all get the picture there. This entire situation is a disaster.

Molly &  Jon

Molly and Jon both say they are taking physical intimacy very slowly. Molly is using the stranger word. Jon is finally wearing a husband shirt.

Their activity for the day is a couples massage. They have not been naked in front of each other before. Molly doesn’t like to be touched and she has never gotten a massage before. Molly seemed to almost enjoy it once she relaxed.

Molly and Jon’s questions were not shown. Instead they did a finish the sentence exercise that basically has them giving each other affirmations. They seem to be the most promising couple.

The Group Date

For the first time ever, the couples all meet during their honeymoons. They will all go paddle boarding together.  Jon laughs and tells Molly that team Mojo must win at marriage. Team Mojo will finally help me get the two white guys names right. I mix them up all the time. Right away Shawniece and Jephte make it clear they are not happy with each other. When Jaclyn says that everyone is going to have to make some adjustments. Jephte says, “I won’t be pressured to do anything I don’t want to do.” For the life of me, I can’t understand why Jephte signed up for this. Shawniece is not feeling the paddle boarding and wants to swim. Jephte tells her not to get in the water and not to put her feet on the ground or she might step on something. She does it any way and cuts her foot. He does even move toward her in the slightest. All he does is say I told you so a million times.

Later, when Shawniece asks if anyone has had sex yet, Ryan flat-out lies and says they haven’t but they had sex on the first night. He even gives a long-winded explanation for why they are waiting.

I’m not sure any of these couples is going to work out.

    I think Jephte’s mother is so inside his head, he should have backed out when he felt like he wasn’t able to, he said whatever she told him she felt, she was always right.
    I don’t think he can get past that.

    TT, I have been waiting for your recap all day 🙂 I love this show by the way. I’m really thinking that Shawniece and Jephte will get it together. A girl can dream :). I think that main problem they are having is that he feels like she isn’t listening. I honestly think they can work, but it will take some time. I don’t know if I trust Ryan. Something about him seems to go to be true. I like Jon and Molly. They are being friends and getting to know each other.

      Um yes it’s hard to trust a liar. I can only try to understand the discomfort these couple may have discussing their sex lives, it’s got to be one of the biggest hurdles they need to incorporate into this situation (marriage) Jaclyn was obviously suprised by Ryan’s denial that they’d consummated their marriage but then it never came up in their private discussions?

      My concern is that these couples have this huge thing in common and if you can’t be honest with them? Telling…IMHO about Ryan. This is a resource pool none of the past season couples had in the early days of their marriages. I would think they’d want to be very honest in every way and I think everyone was except Ryan, then Jaclyn being complicit.

      I get that what goes on behind closed doors between 2 consenting adults is their business but these couples know to expect their every move is documented by the cameras.

      It just doesn’t seem like a good way to start a marriage, lying when your in a fishbowl.

    Jon and Molly is the only couple I can see making it, but I could be wrong. The other couples have no chemistry at all and it’s tiring to watch.

      LoveJones, I’m horrible at couple stuff but I think Jon is very sexual and like most men will take “not liking to be touched” from Molly personally after awhile. Not touching doesn’t work well in relationships. Of course I don’t know shit.

    I happened to see this episode (usually I just read the recaps) and really felt badly for Shawniece. Jepthe really could have shown Shawniece more attention when she cut her foot. It wasn’t a gaping wound but still. I don’t know the whole backstory with his mom but he seems to be trying extra hard to be cold toward her. It’s like he doesn’t want to raise her hopes for a relationship.
    Heck, I hope there’s counseling for these folks after the show is over.

    I’m also very confused why Jepthe signed up for this experiment. At times he appears to be afraid of his own shadow. Did his mama coddle him too much growing up or did he have to clean up after too many of her her messes? Something’s off and he’s a horrible communicator, but my telepathic/through the TV intuition is that he’s a really nice guy. Kind of interested to learn his story.

    I did watch most of this but appreciate the recap.
    Hmm could Jepthe be a virgin or have very limited expierence mixed with Mama saying if the girl comes on to you instead of waiting for you,
    then she is one of those girls?

      That’s exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he should’ve waited and signed up for the show ‘Arranged’ instead.

    Honestly I dont know if any of these couples will work. Molly and Jon are two totally different people with just “pretty packaging”. You can tell Jon is more outgoing and fun ( a wee bit frat boyish) while Molly is more reserved and “cold fish-like”. Also, she’s very thin to which I side-eye but hey some people like sticks more than stones.

    As far as Ryan and Jaclyn its too soon for her to be on this show. It takes a few years for a person to get over the death of a significant other (now there is no guided timeline book about grief and mourning) but I have seen men die and their significant’s took years to even wanna be in the presence of another man. Jaclyn’s ex (RIP) was the love of her life and you can tell that her Dad loved him to. She needs way more time. Now Ryan is a showboater. I hate those types who always have something to say instead of just listening. To me it seems like he was just waiting on stand-by for the next girl to pop up so he can propose but luckily Married at first sight called him back. He’s very affectionate which is good but I cringe every time I see his hand planted firmly on Jaclyn shoulder like a stern teacher taking a kid to the principal’s office. I dont see them lasting simply because of Jaclyn’s past and Ryan’s grandstanding motor mouth antics.

    Lord… Shawneice and Jepthe should have never been placed together in the first place. Any person who has a median level psychology degree can see that. Jepthe has intimacy issues paired with a burden of keeping up appearances. He is a teacher and even though thats nurturing the school districts are hiring anybody as long as they can read a lesson plan. He has strong conservative family ties that do not meld well at all with Shawneice. She is more outgoing and does share too much info. I think she put on the full court press to fast with her “husband” but Jepthe should not have been picked in the first place. He’s saying she’s a stranger when she is saying “Im ya wife FOREVA!!! (in my Cardi B voice)”. Thats a polar opposite approach of the highest caliber. For some reason I think that the “Matchmakers” need someone who specializes in African American matchmaking to work on the AA candidates for this show. We (AA’s) are very particular and I dont care who the black matchmaking dude is or how many Papermate degrees he has on the wall but Ray Charles (RIP) can see that this match was made for ratings or views. Shawniece can do so much better than an emotionally unavailable simp like Jepthe.

    I dislike Ryan. He’s a grade A jerk! I felt bad for Jaclyn when she wanted to play a cute game. If he didn’t like it, he could have been a little nicer instead of saying it’s dumb. Wow! Douchebag! And I get not wanting to “spill the beans” about your sex life, but HELLO! you’re on tv!! Duh! We all know. Why lie to these other couples? And for him to not only lie, but to elaborate on it so easily!?!? Red flags! Also, Jaclyn is nowhere near ready to be married. Her fiance was only dead for a year before she signed up for this. Maybe dating. But marriage? No.

    Molly is a prude & I don’t know how long Jon can hold out. She doesn’t like being touched? Have fun with sex, sweetheart. Jon seems very sexual & she seems very vanilla :-/ like missionary strictly.

    Why is everyone on Jepthe’s case when he mentions it’s weird b/c Shawniece is a stranger, yet Molly said the same thing! Give the poor guy a break. I like him. I don’t care for Shawniece though.
