This is going to be somewhat of a double MAFS Recap. I started last weeks and just sort of abandoned it. I’m not sure if I even watched the whole thing. So the first couple of sentences for every couple will be about episode four. This is mostly about episode five. It’s really hard to fit MAFS into the week. Sorry. I also should confess that I have one ear on the CBB live feeds and another on the show.
Jasmina & Michael
These two are off to a good start after a much needed night of sleep. Jasmina goes to meet with Michael’s sisters. For the most part it goes well. Jasmina’s family meets with Michael. Her mother still has doubts. Clearly, Jasmina is not a morning person. She complains that Michael order them breakfast but she wanted a caramel coffee. He immediately orders her one. I thought I liked Jasmina. I’m hoping she is just crabby in the morning. Jasmina is worried that Michael is overthinking everything instead of just letting things happen. Michael has a lot of loss in his past, when he was six his brother died right in front of him. Then, both his parents died, and so did some friends. It makes him fear the worst.

The morning after the group cruise Michael told Jasmina that he cut her off when he was answering question about if they had sex yet. The helpful replay shows that she did not. Yet he wants an apology. She says he was very rude and disrespectful toward her. So, she is not apologizing for something she did not do. She did say, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” I would not have even gone that far. She doesn’t want anything to do with him moving forward. I don’t blame her. She needs to get out now. Later at dinner they talk about and Michael’s fake issues with cutting her off. It got tense. She addresses his aggressiveness with her. He says, he’s “working on it.”
Lindsey & Mark
Lindsey seems very happy with Mark on her wedding night. And also very drunk. Even the next morning they still seem good. But, Lindsey is sober so… who knows. Lindsey really sells herself to Mark’s family. It goes shockingly well. Lindsey’s family is cute too! They suggest Mark be able to reel her in. Mark looks terrified. They gave him a “NO BUTTON” that he can hit to shut her down. LOL. On the trip to Puerto Rico she pisses off all of the other people telling them they can only speak Spanish. Meanwhile, I’m on Duolingo trying to learn Spanish and no matter how many times it tries to teach me to say “Juan eats apples.” I will never in my life need to know how to say that in Spanish, Everyone hates Lindsey.

I must have missed something because I thought these two were as bad together as Alyssa and Chris. But it sounds like the “consummated” their marriage on their honeymoon. They are going to make pina coladas and Mark asks her to control her drinking. She does not seem to feel she has a problem. Mark says that his first love had a drinking problem. Ut oh. Lindsey thinks Mark is a people pleaser and needs to find what makes him happy.
At their final (?) honeymoon dinner, Mark wants to go slower in the process. He’s putting the brakes on? I can see how this would be hurtful to hear. But, I understand what he is saying. She’s a bit much.
Noi & Steve
I love these two. They wake up happy on the morning after their wedding. So far, so good? Steve’s parents love Noi. Noi’s family is a bit unusual. Her brother is on the LGBTQIALOMOP spectrum some how. I don’t dare to speculate. I hate that everyone hates Steve for his traveling. Noi talks to Steve about his “lack or a job.” He’s probably a trust fund baby or something.

These two are great together and very cuddly in the morning. Oh no, Steve loves camping and Noi hates it. Steve is a traveler. These two are falling in love. But, Noi is falling a little bit faster. Take that, Steve haters! 🙂
After the group cruise, these two talked over dinner about their relationship and Steve says once again, it’s only been three days and they still have a lot to learn about each other. They both admitted to cheating. So why is Noi so shocked by Steve’s answer? They were both young and both regret it.
These two go for a night swim in the pool. But we learn that Noi can’t swim so she has been avoiding the ocean. They are sitting on a bench in the pool having some wine. Noi is going to have to make an effort to be more outgoing and spontaneous if she wants to keep Steve. IJS. Steve finally gets to see her in a swimsuit, and he is really impressed. Noi is all in with Steve, and she needs to stop pushing him. It’s day for of hopefully a lifetime. Be patient!
Katina & Olajuwon
The tattoos between these two! Katina is a bit miffed that Olajuwon is not a cuddler. She also learns he is a player. She says her friends would consider her a party girl. Olajuwon’s mom is sweet to her. Katina’s brother is not sure about him. Things get a bit aggressive. Frankly, I wish I had a brother like that. Olajuwon sweats in bed. Katina wants him to get Botox injections to fix the issue. Olajuwon is a taskmaster in the gym. Katina hates it and I hate it too.

After the group date, I still don’t understand the thing with Katina and Lindsey. Somehow, Olajuwon thinks Katina was defending him? I missed whatever happened on the plane. So, I need enlightenment. I’m not really fond of either of these two. But, maybe they deserve each other. The episode ends with these two falling in love.
Alyssa & Chris
Alyssa does not understand the assignment. She refuses to sleep in the same room Chris on her wedding night. Is that a record for refusing to follow the plan? I feel terrible for Chris. He seems like a good catch. Chris says that he and Alyssa sat down at 2:30 a.m. and she told him that they just didn’t vibe. Alyssa is a bitch. She seems like she still wants to be on the show but she is not in into him. Could it be another Jaime and Doug situation? I hate Alyssa. She’s awful to Chris. She insisted on her own hotel room. The next morning, Alyssa wakes up and literally starts whining, “Why me?” She’s not good enough for Chris.

These two go paddle boarding for the first time. Alyssa has done it a lot. She’s just laughing at him and being mean and not helping. Alyssa says TO CHRIS! that the experts got it wrong with their match. She starts talking about her psychic and how the psychic promised her something different. Namely, pretty eyes and an eagle tattoo. Oh Chris, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It’s not you, it’s all HER and her nasty attitude. He needs to cut bait ad run. More time is not going to change the fact that she sucks as a human.
The next day, Alyssa doesn’t want to go “snuba diving” (it’s kinda like the thing with the Jetson’s helmet). So he is going by himself. Alyssa sees him without a shirt for the first time and is rude in her confessional. Alyssa is mad at her mother because she told her she should have done it. Her mama already knows that she is going to look like a bitch on TV. But, she won’t listen to her. Then, she tells the producers that she has been “the nicest person to everyone.” She is one delusional bitch.” She’s a cunt. Someone buy her the necklace. Poor Chris comes back to her having a tantrum. She tells production to keep him away from her. They need to send her home.
Alyssa looks like she walks next week. I really hope she does. Chris deserves so much better.
They Couples Go Sailing
The couples take a sail boat to a small island. Noi tells the girls she told Steve she is falling in love with her and he didn’t say it back. It’s been three days! Steve tells the guys and it was awkward for him. Alyssa doesn’t want to talk about her marriage. Because she is the problem. Then Lindsey says that she is in love with Mark, and he is the one, but is waiting to tell him. Again, I am shocked, but so happy for them. I thought Lindsey was going to be the Alyssa of the season. Mark says that Lindsey’s behavior is a problem for him. He’s definitely not following in love.

Wow, Katina is a straight up bitch to Lindsey for no reason at all! She walks away and Alyssa follows her and tells her that Lindsey is not worth it. All Lindsey said was that there are three sides to every story, yours mine and the truth. I believe she was actually talking about herself. Katina comes back and goes in on Lindsey. This is apparently about something that happened on the plane. Good Grief. Some of the women are just awful. I’m going to need someone to explain to me all the hate from the girls toward Lindsey to me. During a game of Never Have I Ever, we learn that Steve has cheated. But, Olajuwon quickly overshadows that by saying he has slept with a mother and her daughter. Then, he says he is down with having a threesome if his wife is down with it.
I love that Alyssa keeps trying to tell people that she is nice person. She sure seems horrible to me! I hope she leaves next week for Chris’s sake. Poor guy
Where are the experts?? They should kick Alyssa off! She’s horrible!
The apparently aren’t any “experts.”
They did a particularly bad job this season. Alyssa is beyond a cunt and I feel so bad for Chris! What on earth did they tell the “experts” to make them think this is a good match???
You’re right, 2 years in a row they faied.
She is still stuck & bitter when her boyfriend broke up with her. She is not ready for a relationship let alone a marriage. You can see it in her face.
She needs to get some counseling. Alyssa.
She is very sick and uppity person that will never find anyone to put up with her. She’s a WORTHLESS WOMAN.
.
Totally agree
Lindsey apparently said something to Olajuwon that went too far. She apologized to Olajuwon in his DMs, not on the plane ride. Also, whatever she said added to her husband wanting to slow down a bit.
Katina went off on Lindsey because Lindsey was minimizing whatever happened on the plane and making excuses about her behavior. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was shown.
Alyssa is even worse than I suspected when I saw her in the first show.
A psychic? Is she serious? She is not a decent human being based on how she behaves when disappointed. And, by the way, she no great looker either. Jasmine and Katina are gorgeous. Katina’s tattoos distract me but that’s what the kids are doing these days.
Noi needs to pace herself, 3 days is not enough time for most people. Give Steve some time. It looks goo for them so fat
I think Alyssa just wanted to be on tv. Can you imagine if Chris matched her insult for insult. That chick can dish it out! Katina was way out of line with Lindsey. I had seen on the aftershow that Alyssa’s psychic said it was a lion tattoo. Steve has one and that rumor totally upset Noi so she changed the story to an eagle. Gotta give Chris props the more she whines the better he looks. Maybe that is why he laughed about the tattoo because he knew it was all bs Wish they could swap her out for someone descent for Chris. In the end these people are not relationship winners based on their past
I agree. It’s the only conclusion. If she was so disgusted with Chris, then why go on the honeymoon?! Her attraction to him was not going to change especially since she decided to isolate herself!
Kiwie, You’re so Right.
LOL – buy Alyssa the necklace! She is just awful! Good for Chris for hanging in there and letting her be a bitch while he calmly and graciously continues on doing the activities, being a good sport, and being friendly to her. I couldn’t believe how mean she was about his body… he has a pretty normal body. Hope someone kind sees him on TV and finds him after the show. We need Love Connection rules on here…. if match #1 doesn’t work, we’ll pay for a date with the audience’s choice.
Thanks to all of you filling me in.
I’m just going to add that Lindsay was so drunk and aggressive with Olajuwon about only speaking Spanish in Puerto Rico (about which she is the authority because she’s been there 7 times) that they eventually had to separate her and Mark into a different van/bus thing of their own to avoid further conflict. They only showed little snippets of it but it seemed BAD. Mark went the next morning to make peace with the other couples on both of their behalves. Him by association only. He was nice to her about it but I think he’s really seeing a lot of red flags he wishes he wasn’t. It seems like she was really on one in that moment.
Great recap on that horrible incident. Drunk Lindsey has even less filter than obnoxious sober Lindsey.
Thank you for the details.

Sorry, 🐈🐈 jumped on keyboard and my reply to Fizz reposted out of context. 🤦🏽♀️🤦♀️
Agree with all. Mark is good for Lindsey if she can take the comments hes giving with grace. Yes allysa is a hard one. Looks alone can not give you an intimate long lasting marriage. The rest I think have a chance.
Thank you TT for recapping and give me a space to comment on MAFS 😍.
Alyssa is insufferable and a nasty piece of work. I noticed how pissy she was at the Girls Night before the wedding. Very sanctimonious and judgmental. I stumbled on the after show that aired after Lindsey’s bus incident but before we saw it. Lindsey mentioned Alyssa blocked her and Katina read her fact sheet on why Alyssa blocked her. I don’t recall but is was Drunk Lindsey said something to Alyssa or about Alyssa.
Alyssa shut down right after the ceremony (it reminded me of Jamie, but meaner). No compromise or helpful discussion, but her comments to Chris made it clear HE disappointed her. Is Chris supposed to guess how to make her happy or what she is bothered by?
I laughed when she was crying about not liking him…yelled at my TV “yeah, but nobody likes you!” Girl, even you’re mom knows your personality is stank.
Maybe she should let her psychic find her whiney self a husband. Run Chris, you deserve better.
I feel so much better getting all of that out! Is it me or do some couples on MAFS not seem to understand that marriage requires communication and COMPROMISE (to limited extent)? They act like it’s supposed to just “happen.”
Lindsay kept asking Olajuwon if he spoke spanish and if he did he should be speaking that instead of English. Since they are in PR. The rest we are in the dark. But Lindsay took it over the top though. Guessing the group is sick of her abrasive personality.
Noi and Steve seem to be doing the best so far. Noi is nice, but she wants to move the relationship so fast before she gets to know how compatible they might be. Do the previews show a spark between Jasmina and Michael next week? Hope so, cause so far they are not getting along very well. Both need to lighten up and just try to have a good time. I do agree with Jasmina that she did not cut Michael off in conversation and Michael was too uptight about the whole thing. Jasmina is a bit reserved. Maybe she’s not that attracted to Michael.
Olajawon and Katina seem to be feeling each other. He has red flags to me that don’t seem to bother Katina. I wonder how much of what we see of their reactions are because they are in front of a camera and they are on their best behavior. He seems like he is using every line in the player’s handbook and love bombing her. It remains to be seen if he is authentic. Sharing about his past sexual escapades with the group in front of his wife was cringe worthy. Who does that? Very creepy IMO.
Lindsey is getting on Mark’s nerves. She needs to dial it back. She’s got issues. In one scene she can be soft spoken and low key especially when talking about Mark. In the next she is a loose cannon. Obviously alcohol is part or all of the problem. Don’t know which. Mark looks like he’s regretting sleeping with her at this point.
Alyssa is acting like a b_tch. She agreed to marry a stranger so she knew there was a chance that she would not be physically attracted to him. A normal person would make the best of it and be polite until they could respectfully end the relationship. On a side note, she is not the perfect 10 she thinks she is yet she acts as if she deserves a man who is a 10. I would be embarrassed acting the way she has on TV.
If you watched the after party that featured both Lindsey and Katina, Katina said her problem with Lindsey’s comments on the bus was when Lindsey stepped off the bus and then yelled that she wanted to fight Olajawon. Keisha asked Lindsey if she realized that a woman saying that to a Black man could endanger him. Katina responded ‘exactly’ and Lindsey said she had not thought of it in that way.
Ah Thanks! So drunk Lindsey fucked up. She needs to just keep apologizing.
I just rewatched episode four. Is this really about Lindsey saying that if they speak Spanish that is what they should speak in Puerto Rico? Out of all the husbands, my perfect match would be…. Lindsey. And I am rooting for her marriage. Some of these bitches are just too sensitive. I’ve traveled a lot myself, and I have gotten A LOT of hate for it from my fellow elementary school teachers who lived in McMansions. I live in a very low budget house that I refer to as my ghetto shack. Why? Because I prefer to spend my money on travel. I am not responsible for your poor ass financial plan. Trying to find the after show now.
I missed a few of the aftershows and am watching now. Mark isn’t very enthusiastic about Lindsey. I’m worried about my girl.
I am rooting for Mark and Lindsey
Katrina’s hubby is phony and alyssa is a stuck up bitch to chris.her shit apparently doesn’t stink. The matched couples this time are terrible.
Its horrible how Alyssa is allowed to continue to treat and speak to Chris like she does.
She has never explained where it went south.
She is a mess. hopefully he cuts those ties asap.
None stayed together last season, right?
I am beginning to wonder if this show is for real, I have watched this show for years, and have noticed the so call experts are doing some strange matching. Some of these matches should have never been matched to marry anyone before they received some professional counseling. The fact the experts could not see this, makes me wonder that this is starting to come off as fake, and just leaning towards TV entertainment, like the Bachelor, Housewives, like many other reality shows, it seems to be about the five minutes of fame, no matter what.
The best hostess so far on aftershow. Loves Jamie but kept it happy. This girl (don’t know name) kept it real with allysa and it made her walk off. Hostess nailed it. ” WHY PICK THIS SHOW IF YOU DONT WANT CAMERAS” HELLO. And she walked.
WOW! LOL THIS season is a doosy… Alyssa, I think its time you take your whiney ass home. What floors me is how she feels like she’s got it going on, like she’s a “big catch”,by the way she puts Chris down. SMH!!! Alyssa youre ugly! Inside and out. Go find your chin somewhere. your head and chin look like someone smashed them together like an accordian…. youre nothing worth looking at and I bet you get overlooked when you’re out with friends. I’m sorry she immediately rubbed me the wrong way straight out of the gate. Day 1… ! IF SHE FEELS THIS STRONGLY ABOUT HER LACK OF ATTRACTION, WHY HASNT SHE LEFT YET? WHY DID SHE GET PASSED THE MARRIAGE? MAFS SHOULD’VE SENT OLE WHINER HOME DAY 1… WHY PUT CHRIS THROUGH THIS. VERY HURTFUL AND DEGRADING. THIS CRAP SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE JUST FOR A STORY. ITS CRUEL .
Alyssa, has a peach for a mother. Makes me wonder if she was traumatized by abusive relationships earlier in her life. She needs help before she self destructs. Someware in her twisted soul is a kind caring human being. It’s not your fault Chris and you can’t help her. Walk away and hold your head up!
Alyssa should be told to leave she is a horrible person they should find Chris another woman she really got screwed
Alyssa is a horrible person she only loves herself they should make her leave Chris should be found another woman who deserves him
