Amber and Dave
Two hours of this (actually three, I skipped the 8 pm show because I got engrossed in America’s Got Talent. I did watch a very short clip of the three brides and another of the three grooms and I can already tell that Amber is going to be a problem. It’s like she wants to be married but doesn’t want to be a wife. I already feel bad for the groom, Dave. He seems like a great guy.
Amber picked the wrong dress. Her first dress shows off her body which is damn near perfect. The princess dress is too poofy and silly for some pushing forty. Amber chooses a GINORMOUS wedding band for her husband. He will hate it. Dave is great though. Stupidly the bachelorette party is the night before the wedding and Amber is puking. I have a bad feeling about this relationship.
At the wedding, Dave is a hit with Amber’s friends and family. Dave greets the entire wedding party on the bride’s side and hugs his future mother in law. Amber is freaking out. After bit of cold feet she is ready to walk out. I still think she made the wrong choice with the dress. She looks ginormous in the dress she chose and the other one was so much better. They kiss after their vows, but it was just a peck. They seem to like each other though. They go to the same gym. One of Amber’s exes goes there and she is nervous he will meet him. Why? Because she is batshit crazy as I expect? They kiss during their first dance. I think they will have sex on their wedding night, as they should. Editing makes it seem like they totally do it.
Danielle and Bobby
Danielle is a bit more than just a dog person. On AGT tonight there was a goth comedian who talked about online dating and how the “must love dogs” thing confused him because he wanted to love a person. That’s sort of how I feel about Danielle; however, I love Bobby and he loves dogs and I think this looks like a great match!
Danielle’s parents are not on board and don’t even know if they want to come to the wedding. Bobby’s parents are all in. Bobby’s mama comes to help him pick out his suit. He’s a bit of a mama’s boy but in a cute way. She did a great job. Love the bow tie, it’s very southern. I love Danielle’s dress. I kind of love Bobby and this couple already. Danielle is down with consummating the marriage on the wedding night, but Bobby says he is not going for it on the first night. Bobby is the best dressed man. Bobby is a good southern boy and greets the mom first. I love Bobby. So do Danielle’s friends.
Bobby and Danielle are instantly attracted. Their wedding is adorable. And they both have a big love of dogs. It’s sweet. They kiss, but I could not tell if he kissed her on the cheek. Danielle is very happy and so is Bobby. During the photos, the photog asks them to kiss. So clearly it was on the cheek at the wedding because Bobby says it’s the best kiss he ever had.
Both families seem to support the marriage. Danielle is going to love Bobby’s family. Danielle seems down with consummating the marriage on their wedding night. If I did this I would too.
Mia and Tristan
Tristan Thompson is a former professional basketball player. But not THAT Tristan Thompson. This one owns some tutoring companies He and Mia are both religious and seem to have the same background in that regard. Tristan’s friends and family are down for it. Mia’s family is not having it. When the three brides get together, Mia says she is not going to kiss her groom at the wedding. The other two seem to be fine with it. Mia’s sister and friends are no fully on board at the Bachelorette party.
Tristan is very emotional on his wedding day. Mia’s dad shows up and they both cry. I love this marriage. Tristan is so cute, in a boyish way. He’s tearing up as he enters the wedding. He too hugs his future mother in law. Mia is flipping out. Aw I love this marriage. I hope they stay together forever! Mia gives him the cheek during the kiss. Oh Mia, kiss that man, he is perfect for you! Tristan’s family is not happy about it either. They seem to really hit it off though. During the wedding photos, she once again gives him the cheek when they kiss. Like seriously, you will marry a stranger but not kiss them? That seems weird to me. Mia seems insecure as if she can’t believe he is her husband. Tristan seem thrilled to be her husband.
Mia’s sister is hard on Tristan. She’s going to be a problem. She seems jealous. Tristan talks to Mia’s father. He is worried about consummating the relationship. He basically tells Tristan not to have sexual expectations about the wedding night. Tristen seems to really want to get it in!
OMG I think that it looks so rosy but the previews are insane. Mia was detained by customs at the airport, Amber and Dave seem to be breaking up on the honeymoon. Danielle seems over Bobby already. And the Lifetime site say this is the MOST. DRAMATIC SEASON EVER! Why???? I thought at least two of them were the best matches ever. I’m shaking with regard to Amber. Crazy recognizes crazy and that girl is batshit. Bobby mentions divorce. Tristan cries because Mia has lied to him. He’s ready to flee. Amber is pissed on decision day. I totally called that on the ten second preview of her. She’s nuts.
I haven’t watched the show yet (dvr’d) didn’t read your recap either, I’m just so happy you’re still recapping this show! You rock in my world, thank you TT!
I wish somebody would check into Amber because I do believe she was on another reality show. I want to say it was another dating show type situation
Amber just seems so familiar to me but I can’t place her.
I agree, so familiar but I cannot place Amber for the life of me! I did think her dress choice was all wrong, the train was ginormous! Her hair really ages her.
I want Mia to be into Tristan *sp? They really do seem well matched, hope she doesn’t take the “no kissing” thing too far…Mia’s sister took her concerns over the top, not a good look sis!
Danielle looked absolutely stunning! I like Bobby and his family, they seem like they’ll be good support to this couple.
Fingers crossed! Looks like another fun season, the previews look very interesting indeed!
YES! She is from another show, but I can’t remember where.
previews show Danielle upset that Bobbly yells/raises his voice…..she hates that…..and Amber’s man got snippy with her when she was trying to help him and wipe his shirt (something was spilled on it) he said she was making it worse but his “tone” was the problem….its not about his shirt but their time together and the fact that she was trying to help….his tone was bratty…
Amber has an average face. She should’ve dyed her roots as it makes her looki like she belongs in Jersey or the Bronx or something. Her husband deserved better. She has a resting bitch face. I predict a divorce for them. Tristan deserved better. She’s the type to deny Tristan sex or intimacy. I like Tristan. Mia seems neurotic.
I thought there was something “off” about Amber from the get-go. Dave seems sweet and sensible (and handsome) but I think he kinda got swept away by the big bobs, big hair and big dress. He was perfect with Amber’s family.
Really too soon to tell but I don’t hold out much hope for any of these couples.
Mia makes me think of the girl from 2(?) seasons ago who just couldn’t get off the starting block – “liked” her husband but did love him and couldn’t commit to a real emotional (or physical) relationship. As for Mia, you have to realize there has been no prior relationship of any kind. I’d be feeling weird about having sex with a guy I’d just met a few hours ago.
Hope she and Tristan do well.
Amber should have done something better with her hair and makeup. Made her look 49 instead of 39. Mia got on my nerves with all her flinging. Flinging her hair, her arms. Bending over at the waist almost touching the ground. I don’t get it and it wasn’t attractive. In general, this is going to be a great season.
Thank you so much for recapping this show. I know it doesn’t get a ton of comments so I always worry you won’t continue but I love reading your take on the people and episodes!
I really, really wanna like this show! 😢 But for some reason, after season 2 – I just cant, so I’m going to have to vicariously live it through y’all! Looking forward to seeing what you think as the season unfolds!
Amber used to be a light brunette and looked much, much better. She’s only 36. Dear Lord, that bleached hair makes her look so much older. I can’t find anything else noteworthy on her. I’m just glad you are blogging on this show because it’s a train wreck, almost as good as 90 Day Fiance. Where do these people come from? Now, as for Mia…. her real name is Ameea. She lived in Jamaica until 2013. Maybe this is why she was held at immigration? Some janky passport issue? She used to be a caramel blonde shade and looked much better. That’s all I can find……
I found a arrest record for Mia under her real name but it didn’t say for what if you search Ameea Janice Bally mugshot that’s what comes up. Fugitive status! How did this get past the show ? I would love to find out what this is all about hopefully soon the show will reveal more details on exactly what she was arrested for or what she was detained for at customs.
The report states that she was arrested on March 27, 2018. Could that have been while the show was filming or shortly after it was over? Could the FUGITIVE status just mean that she failed to appear and a warrant was issued? Couldn’t find the mug shot, but how many people with that name could there be in Texas?
Ameea Janice Bally (her real name) – the arrest warrant wqas for stalking an ex-boyfriend in Louisiana and using an “access card” of his to buy a iPhone.
I’m glad you’re recapping this, Tamara! I haven’t been able to watch this long first show yet–DVRd it–but I’ll be following the season, and I’m always glad to read your take.
Does anyone else think Bobby looks like a much handsomer Richard Thomas – John-Boy on the Waltons? I keep looking for that big old mole. I’m trying to get that thought out of my head, because it kind of ruins the way I look at him. He’s a cute guy, but I worry a little bit about his mother. He and Danielle seem to have quite a bit in common, especially the love of dogs.
I’m not sure about Amber and Dave. First of all, I think he’s a lot better looking than she is, and I don’t think he’s going to find her attractive after he sees her getting out of the shower with no makeup on, hair hanging around her face, looking every one of her 36 years. She sounds like her major goal is to have a baby ASAP, but I’m not sure he’s in as much of a hurry.
Mia bothers me. Her behavior with the constant bending over, giggling, awkwardness, and other avoidance techniques, points to a very shy, inexperienced woman, but most shy, inexperienced women don’t sign up for a show like Married at First Sight. It bothered me when she turned her face away when the officiant said Tristan could “now kiss his his bride”. Granted, she did say she doesn’t kiss on first dates, but you just married the guy for God’s sake, at least give him a peck on the lips. I thought it was rude, embarrassing and disrespectful. His family was upset, and I don’t blame them. She made him look stupid, and he seems like a really decent, cute guy.
We all know editing is the huge thing with reality shows, so I’m always a bit leery of being led down the garden path with teasers. Looking forward to next week and thanks for the great recap, Tamara.
How the hell did I miss this bending over thing the little fugitive does? Probably I was just typing and listening and tipping it like Kathy Griffin’s mom.
Oh no! I see it now, thank you very much ER!
On a personal note, is okay if I address you as ER? I love all your comments and would hate to be disrespectful!
Omg! I brought up a picture of John-boy because my 22 year old daughter didn’t know who the heck he was!!!! Great comments!! Thanks
I have the same issue when looking at Bobby… looks too much like John Boy Walton!
So glad you’re recapping this TT. My first thought was Danielle and Bobby were going to make it but I guess he has a temper and she can’t handle that. Mia is annoying…come on woman you marry a stranger but won’t kiss him. I really like Tristan. The other couple I don’t think will make it through the experiment phase.
I’m looking forward to a new season of this show. Amber is a mess, and any sane man would run the other way. All of the women wear too much makeup, even Danielle. It looks like she drew on her eyebrows with a Sharpie.
Uhhh tristan IS the former basketball player.
Does anyone else feel like they’ve seen Bobby somewhere else on TV. Bachelor maybe?
I think you’re remembering him as John Boy Walton on the TV show ‘The Waltons’. It’s not him, but almost a dead ringer, minus the mole.
New story revealed today makes things look bleak for Tristan and Mia. She was detained on a warrant from Louisiana for stalking and misuse of a card. Some stalking reports were from after the wedding. Guess we will see how much BE Tristan can take.
Hmmm, interesting update Stormy and sad at the same time! Why do people sign up for this serious life endeavor and then appear not to take it seriously? I am assuming these individuals do actually want a life partner. How is it they get vetted, MARRY and (then) go off the rails? Hmmm…
Just makes me want to watch more!
Yeah, stalking her ex from 2016-2018! AND charging over $1400 to the ex’s account (AFTER they were split up). She sounds more bat shit crazy than Amber!
How did the background check miss a felony arrest warrant, and that she’s considered a fugitive! MAFS better get their sh*t together before something bad happens to an innocent bride or groom.
I find Mia to be extremely creepy. Run Tristan. Amber is nuts and I do not feel that she is pretty at all. What is with her hair. I don’t understand this season at all. Maybe I am missing something.
Amber may be a drinker … I don’t know for sure
I would like to know what Amber’s ex from the gym told Dave about her. Apparently, Amber and Dave know the same guy from the gym. Amber used to date this guy. This guy confided to Dave about his dating experience with Amber. Dave tells the camera that if he had known that he would be marrying the guy’s ex that he would have bailed out of the show.
I doubt Dave will tell the juicy details that the gym guy told him about his dating experience with Amber.
The only thing I can think about is Danielle’s eyebrows. They are so distracting. It’s like my 5 year old drew them on for her. Also Bobby seems like a pretty big pussy and Amber’s mouth is huuuuuge, like a character from The Nightmare before Christmas.
Yes her eyebrows are scary looking. What’s even scarier is she likes them
Her fake eyelashes are not good either. She needs a good friend who has taste and style. She’s a mess.
Danielle’s eyebrows are damn scary looking. Does she not see well or a fan of bad taste? Is making yourself ugly “in”? If so I missed that one. Her eyelashes look awful too.
Last night showed preview of Tristan’s calling to tell Mia is on a single dating sight! Now!
Anyone know anything about it? Could it be true? I got weird vibes of Mia before her arrest happened.
I heard that, too but they have been pretty hush about it. But in her defense, (and she needs a lot ), he said a dating site. She may have been on one or more snd just never took her profile(s) down. Wanna bet it/they are down now.
At any rate I think they need to shut those two down. Stalking is not funny and nothing to be playing with. Mia is already showing her mental instability by clinging to Tristan, declaring her love and going from no kissing to hitting the bed. I guess jail can do that to some people. The longer they keep them together the more Mia learns about Tristan’s business and if Tristan decides to call it quits she may go totally over the edge. Two years of stalking an old boyfriend will look Ike child’s play compared to what she can do.
Tristan’s mother was worried about Ray Ray the Cockroach sneaking up on Tristan…Mia Mia the Cockroach has already snuck up on him and is in the house.
This group from Dallas is going to be interesting if any of them stay married. Bobby and wild eyebrows Danielle seem to be trying.
Dave and Amber are spinning in two different planets. And soon will collide!
Then there is Crazy Mia! How the Professionals just swept her behavior under the rug I don’t know. I read she was spoken to a few times by the Police regarding her Ex Jared Evans for contacting him at work , home and changing her name on social Media just to try and get him to go back with her. Then put $1475.00 on his Credit Card. That is fraud! Who is going to pay for her attorney? Someone who tells the Police more then once I will stop and continues is out of control. Tristan is in for trouble the longer he plays her game. I bet she gets pregnant. The Professionals need to get it!
I think Bobby and Danielle will make it okay. They are like two peas in a pod. Dave and Amber are certainly spinning in separate worlds and I have serious doubts about them that they aren’t going to butt heads pretty soon. I hadn’t thought about the pregnancy angle but I can certainly see Mia trying and I wouldn’t put it past her to say she is pregnant even if she isn’t.
I don’t know how they managed to get it done or if they did. The first I heard was Louisiana didn’t want to extrodite Mia then I heard the charges have been dropped. It could be either because the warrant was to hold without bond but if Louisiana didn’t want to come get her they had to let her go. Maybe the old boyfriend is a really nice guy and thought since she is married now he doesn’t have to worry about her any more. Stalkers don’t think like normal people. They are capable of the unthinkable and the unbelievable and can justify everything they do in their own minds.
The experts can explain it until the cows come home and they will never convince me they didn’t find those 2017:charges.
