Anniversary Dinner Party For All Four Couples
It’s the one month anniversary for the couples on Married At First Sight. Dr. Pepper hosts an anniversary dinner for all four couples. Stephanie and AJ are still quite happy to wake up with each other every morning. That seems to make Kate look even sadder than she already looked. Everyone has asked to rate themselves about how they have been as a spouse. AJ and Stephanie both give themselves a 9. Jasmine and Will both said 7. Kristine said 8.9 and gave himself an 8. Luke gave himself a 7.5 and Kate gave herself a 6.5. In confessional, Kate says that Luke rated himself a bit high. I think his actual rating is a negative number. This was just a stupid recap scene.
Stephanie & AJ
These two went go-carting for their one month anniversary. It seems appropriate for these too. AJ won by a hair. If Stephanie would have won, i think AJ would have pouted or gotten angry. Later, they went out for a wine tasting. They are starting to fall in love. Stephanie says she would marry him all over again. Don’t screw this up, AJ!
These two laugh together a lot. Stephanie gives AJ a picture frame with photos from their lives together. AJ is overwhelmed. AJ had the flowers that he gave her on the last day of their honeymoon recreated because she didn’t get to enjoy them for long. That’s a great gift. It’s much better than recreating his temper tantrum on the honeymoon.
Jasmine & Will
Will and Jasmine went back to the winery where they got married. It seems that Jasmine’s visit with her Auntie has her more willing to compromise with Will. They have a romantic anniversary dinner at the winery.The Jasmine asks him to rate her as a wife. He says 6.8. Now Jasmine is mad because she asked a question she didn’t really want to know the answer to. She doesn’t ask him any questions about it. She just toots her own horn. In confessional, Jasmine says Will is a five. Jasmine gave herself a 7! What is the big deal here?
Kristine & Keith
Keith took a cooking class for his anniversary. Is this a Paula Deen cooking class? The woman teaching him to make steak put nearly a whole stick of butter in the pan with two steaks. Kristine shows up to have his dinner. He covered the table with roses.
Kate & Luke
Unlike the delusional Kate we saw last week, I think this week Kate sees the writing on the wall. Luke tries to play the drinking card. Kate finally points out that is actually his issue. He threw up at three am one night and then went out another night and got wasted and didn’t come home. I think Luke projects the drinking problem.
On their anniversary, Luke got up at 8 am and left to hang out with his friends. I love that they are not telling them what to do and making them buy gifts this season. This way, they do what they feel. Kate tries to do confessional but then she starts crying hysterically and runs to the bathroom. Why doesn’t someone get her the hell away from this asshole?
Luke comes back home with a cactus garden. Is he trying to be ironic? Meanwhile she has made dinner. He tells her that he went off with his friends for the day because he wasn’t sure exactly where they were after their conversation the previous night. In confessional he says, “It’s kind of hard for me when she has a bad attitude towards our marriage.” Does he believe the crap he spews during these interviews? Dinner is filled with awkward silence.
Next time, things for everyone seem a bit more tense, Kate begins to consider divorce.
This episode was basically one big recap of the first month.
My heart hurts for Kate and you can tell that she is so miserable in this process. She deserves so much better than this and Luke is a true dick but I partially blame the matchers.
YAY!! Thanks TT for the fast recap.
Okay. Luke is GASLIGHTING Kate and she needs to dump his sorry ass which will allow him to be the sad sack and say “she left me, I don’t know why…” and have himself a pity party like the little wuss that he is. I have never disliked (hated) anyone more on a reality show than him. I cannot WAIT for him to get his karmic (cosmic) payback. I am convinced this little rat just wanted tv time to promote his sorry ass dating business. Good Lord! Like he’s an expert???
I know we aren’t supposed to comment on people’s looks but Stephanie’s eyebrows are distracting to me. One of them had the same thing last season, the one who was married to the nice guy and now they are pregnant. Can’t remember her name.
Do they have a chance: AJ and Steph? Maybe, but he’s like a pot at simmer. I see a huge explosion coming from him.
Kristine and Keith? Well, he’s trying but that steak looked rare to me. I don’t eat red meat (it tastes like leather to me) so maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be made? My husband grills his own steaks, that’s how badly I make them! Ha Ha Ha
Will and Jasmine? She’s uppity and it’s annoying. He’s not sure what to make of her. She’s one of those women that want equality until it affects her finances. Sorry girl, doesn’t work that way.
Overall, I wish ONE OF THESE DAMN SHRINKS OR PASTOR CAL would ream out Luke for all his lying and gas lighting. Please, tell this little weasel the truth!!!
It was Danielle with the thick, dark eyebrows last season. I think they’re better now though. And she and Bobby had their baby girl Tuesday –Olivia Nicole. ?
I can’t take Stephanie’s eyebrows either! I want to jump through my TV screen with an eyebrow pencil and fill them in.
The most distracting thing about Danielle’s eyebrows is that she kept switching up how dark or thick she would make them. A few times they were so thick all I could think of were the scouse brow girls in Liverpool.
Luke is getting so bad he makes Ryan from season 2 look like Mr. Rogers. I wanted to punch Luke in his smug face when he, once again, was insinuating that Kate is an alcoholic. I’ve never punched anyone in the face before so it would probably be a lot of fun as well as satisfying.
Luke is horrible! I feel bad for Kate, but geez, get up and leave! He has no interest in a relationship! It is painful to watch and the so called experts need to step in and call Luke on his bs! The drinking thing is his only excuse for not getting close to her! I hope she tells him off next episode, but it looks like he is trying to reel her in with some hope of a relationship.
Does anyone think that maybe Luke has sexuality issues? When you say, “I felt dead inside and repulsed”…… that is not a” normal” reaction to a kiss.
was it this current episode or last week that Kate repeated that she’s attracted to him? She’s been saying this since the wedding episode, but at what point does he make her feel so bad that he’s no longer attractive to her? How can she STILL be attracted to him?
This week she just seemed on the verge of tears all the time. The she finally broke down. It’s gotta be over next week. I know I say this every week, but still.
I NEED her to leave before decision day. I don’t want Luke to have an option of openly rejecting her again. I hope his dating business fails.
They included a shot of them at decision day. Who knows if they are still together by that point, but they are present.
I am wondering if Luke gets $$ the longer he stays in? Why would he emotionally torture this poor woman for any other reason? Then I wonder about the 4 couples vs 3 this season and I wonder if Lifetime saw this coming and decided to exploit Kate for ratings. Whatever the reason it is wrong to put her in this position and LEAVE HER in this position.
Preach! Money has to be the reason Luke and Kate are staying in this. Luke probably thought they would mention or feature his business. I hope that it is NEVER mentioned. I am a tough Biatch and I wanted to cry every time Kate was shown, especially when she broke down and ran to the bathroom. The producers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to go on as long as they have as well as the experts. Luke should also be sued for defamation of character regarding his comments toward Kate’s drinking.
I don’t know what they get for being on the show, but I’ve read that 90 Day Fiancé pays $1000 per episode.
Agree. Watching Kate always makes me sad.
Sigh. Luke is a prick and it pisses me off to watch him. Leaves for the day on their anniversary. What message does that send? Ass.
Stephanie and AJ have the best chance of making it IF AJ can keep it under control. He gets angry and I’m afraid he is going to blow. I like them together tho.
I really liked Keith’s cooking gesture, it was very seeet and thoughtful. I hope princess appreciated it.
I don’t know what to think about a will and Jasmine. They haven’t had sex yet or even any physical intimacy, he seems just not into her.
Thanks for the recaps, I love this show
I am beginning to no longer feel sorry for Kate. At some point you have to take responsibility for what happens in your life. The whoa is me is getting on my nerves. That screaming in the bathroom did it for me.
I think AJ has head trauma issues from that bike accident, hence the jekyl-hyde behavior. Stephanie walk on pins & needles when ge throws his tantrums. Tgen, he pretends it was nothing nd they can go back to happy again.
Will & Jasmine are 7 years apart & it shows. Usually women are more mature and this may not be so obvious. I think she is too young & little immature for him as he seems older and more settled for his age. He comes off more as a father figure to her.
Keith & Kristine are really surprising me. The little princess is actually a strong wiman. Keith may be spoiled but he is willing to compromise and please his wife. She is making a man out of him. Seems like these two may just make it.
After all the crap Kristine got for being a princess, it seems she grew up real fast when she married someone even more spoiled and protected from adulthood. She’s the adult in the relationship.
Yes she is the adult and she challenges him & he steps up to the plate, happily without a fuss. Although they spoiled him, he respects the women in his family & he can appreciate Kristine.
I can barely get through Jasmine and Will’s scenes anymore. They have zero chemistry and she’s an entitled, spoiled brat. They’re both wasting their time.
As for Luke… He didn’t even deny it when Kate said he was out drinking and threw up at 3am. He’s definitely projecting. She needs to run, not walk.
To me he seemed pissed she said that on camera.
I really want an expert to clearly call Luke out for gaslighting Kate. I want them to actually use that word.
I absolutely agree, TT, Jasmine should never have asked Will to rate her. It’s right up there with “do I look fat?”. What she was really asking for was trouble.
I was so glad when Kate said that Luke drank until he threw up. The truth shall set you free. It was satisfying to see her finally stand up for herself a bit by speaking that truth. Too bad she still wants him. I would have packed up his shit and thrown it out the window after the honeymoon.
AJ and Stephanie make me cringe. It is nice that they enjoy each other, but his goofiness just sets me on edge. A pot for every lid, but I don’t know how she can stand him.
Watching Keith finally cook for Kristine was very sweet. I paused the DVR and told my 10-year old son that this is how a man should treat a woman and make her feel appreciated.
Will and Jasmine seemed to be doing pretty well, and then it all just went to shit. First, why did she have to ask him that question?!! And then WHYYYYYY did he have to answer that way?!!! Jesus, he must really loathe her. How fucking awkward.
When they were at the site where they were married I was hoping to see them relax, maybe kiss naturally but it was awkward and forced. I’m not seeing these 2 making it at all and honestly I’m starting to see the real Jasmine and she’s not nice. She’s self centered, bosy, demanding and unapologetic about her behavior, no compromising our self reflection.
I think they keep the “how do you rate yourself/spouse” question for drama. Last season that caused a big fight with Dave and Amber. It’s a silly question, they should be asking what are your successes and your areas in need of growth.
I think AJ and Steph can make it, if he works through his anger issues. I wasn’t a fan of his at first but I see an endearing side to him.
The princess and the couch potato are improving. Keith just needs to realize his immaturity and learn how to be a team player.
Jas and Will May not make it. I don’t feel they are a great match. He might have been better matched with Kristine.
Luke is the absolute WORST and a giant hypocrite. I, too, was thrilled when Kate called HIM out for drinking too much. Why can’t he just be honest with Kate? He’s making it worse by BSing her with this drinking crap. He’s the kind of guy that makes the girl feel so bad she finally dumps his ass. If Kate doesn’t dump him I will be shocked.
Thanks TT for the recaps. I enjoy them as much as watching the shows.
Luke is disgusting. Why in the world would he complain about Kate’s drinking, she hasn’t appeared drunk once. He’s in front of a camera! Everything is being recorded, he’s the one with the problem! Puking and not coming home!? Kate needs to quit now, gaslighting and shaming this beautiful little thing is not acceptable, I hope she grows a pair before next week and kicks his ass out.
I’m finally starting to get caught up on my recordings, watched last weeks episode too, Luke’s mother? What a bitch! I see where Luke gets his demeaning behavior towards Kate from. She was anything but supportive of Kate and Luke’s marriage and took it all out on Kate
Yup and this week poor Kate just looks defeated. I hope she channels that into anger at him for treating her like shit, lets him have it and walks out. Neither he nor his mama will ever see a problem with him and blame her but who cares? At least the asshole has been put on blast and I hope he must have to forever reside with said mama.
Never felt so sorry for a reality show “victim.” Hopefully, Kate will learn alot about herself and never allow anyone to mistreat her like this ever again. Luke does not come from nice people as evidenced by hismother and the rude passive-aggresive way she talked to Kate. Possibly the professionals are hoping Kate will eventually speak up for herself. It’s shameful that they see her pain and Luke’s abuse and allow this charade to continue just for ratings.
Stick a fork in it – Will and Jasmine are done. No sexual or otherwise chemistry..
AJ is really pushing his fake giddiness for Stephanie and she’s just along for the ride. She’s too smart to fall for his silliness. The guy’s just not stable – something wrong there.
Hoping for Keith and Kristine to make it. If they both continue to honestly dialogue and respond positively with each other, they may make it.
Very disappointing this season. Been tough to watch.
I record the post show discussions, watched one today re an earlier episode (I’m behind and really was only half paying attention) w/Dr. Peper and Kate on.
Dr. Peper basically dragged Luke all kinda ways. She talked about his evasive manner when confronted, passive aggressiveness, how charming he can be and how the “experts” feel duped by him and basically feel guilty putting Kate in this marriage. It was strange, no clue timing of this show w/episodes but although Kate seemed sad and frustrated, even after Dr. Peper’s acknowledgment that Luke is an ASS, she seemed all in (certainly cautious) but still in.
Just getting ready to watch episode 10, fingers crossed Kate nails him re his nasty game, throws his barfing as to the curb and calls her own therapist! Wishful thinking, not seeing it actually happen, that actually may not be horrible if she can keep making him look gross for all the world to see…
Watching Luke emotionally abuse Kate every week is disgusting and the fact that these “experts” don’t voice their opinions that it must stop news pisses me off. the pastor got mad when he heard Luke’s repulsed comments and did a good job of calling him out, but where has he been since? Kate started out so positive and upbeat and is now a pitiful shell of that. It’s like watching an abuse cycle and it is inhuman and discredits the show. Kate seems to be unable to stick up for herself as she is so down trodden. She found a little fight this episode like TT said, but even her body language with her down looks and sagging shoulders. I hope they pay her therapy and a huge bonus for staying with this asshole.
I have found Keith and Christine endearing since the beginning. They are both learning and growing which is what a good marriage will do, bring out the better in you both. And they are growing in more ways then one I think. Anyone catch the aftershow with Jamie Otis hosting? Kristine looked pregnant to me,
Have any of you seen MAFS Australia before? I just started watching it this season and it is fantastic! They have more couples and the format is different. They meet to decide if they want to stay or leave every couple of weeks.
So far this season one particularly evil girl is having an affair with another contestant’s husband. Then on last night’s episode the slag of the season was hitting on one husband, and when he turned her down she started flirting hard with a second husband while her husband was across the table. The Australian gossip magazines have recent photos of them kissing in public so they both cheated on their MAFS spouses.
MAFS Australia is kind of like the RHONJ version of the MAFS franchise. Last night’s episode also had a wife get physical aggressive with another wife, and she also knocked a bowl on the floor in her apartment and it shattered.
*physically* aggressive. I just can’t let typos go.
This was a boring season to me…Luke is a mess…perhaps he should have hooked up with Mia from last season…lol…Question, what days or channel does the Australia MAFS come on? I had read a recent article and it seemed to have more excitement than this seasons US MAFS..Also, after this season, what city are they visiting?
kamanni7 I agree that this season is boring. I practically fall asleep when Jasmine and Will are on. Kate and Luke’s only form of entertainment is watching a jackass humiliate and judge a sweet girl, although she needs to wake up and realize there is no hope and get out now.
I just saw your question about broadcast days. I think they broadcast on Monday nights. Australia is not only on a different time zone, they are also on a different day. You just have to wait until someone uploads.
They don’t do the show by city. They take them to vacations and put them up in hotels. They also rent them apartments in groups at high rise buildings and that is where they stay for part of the show. Later on in the show they will see each others homes and stay at them, but are not necessarily move in to them. That is where the season is at right now.
I watch a lot of UK TV as well as RH Melbourne which is also interesting at time. It’s fun to learn all of their slang and colloquialisms.
