Since Project Runway has ended, I have time to write a slightly more timely MAFS recap. I love this show! And I really hope this is the last time I see Alyssa on the show. If I recall correctly, she pulled a Hollywood storm out when she was on the Afterparty Show. By the way, Keshia Knight Pulliam is fantastic as the new host. She asks THE QUESTIONS! Anyway besides having two very angry body parts in different locations, the dog that is super bossy lately, The CBB live feeds, and trying to suffer through Nene Leakes cohosting The Real this week, I really need this show tonight. Now, let’s get on with Alyssa being a cunt. I need to get some kinda feelings out tonight. .
Alyssa & Chris
I have NEVER heard someone say over and over that they are “a good person.” I have never said that in all of the eleventy billion years of my life. I’d like to think I’m a good person. But, I can also be an awful person. I’m mostly a crazy person. A depressed person, and anxious person, a fun person, a generous person, a rude person, a stingy person. You never know what you are going to get. I will be sipping my Cabernet every time this bitch says she is a good person though, because I see no redeeming qualities in her. I feel so sorry for Chris. He is adorable, has a good job, is patient and kind. Alyssa should never have been chosen for this show.

Alyssa and Chris go on a tennis date. I hate her so much. She is wearing flip flops to play tennis? Then she goes barefoot. God, I hate this women. Chris tries to talk about committing to the process and my TV cuts out for her stupid response. Apparently, Alyssa wants to move into the apartment without Chris. She is so there just for the show. Yet, she doesn’t seem to understand what the show is all about. Production tries to explain to her that she can’t be on the show if she doesn’t move in with her husband. That is the whole point!
God I hate this cunt. She is so dumb. How can anyone be this stupid? Did she just say to the producers, “If you can’t be kind don’t talk to me?” She is literally the worst person in the world. Or maybe the second after Trump. Both are narcissists. I have no words that are not hateful. She is so disgusting! How could anyone be with her?
And Yet It Continues
I cannot tell you how much I hate this human. She’s “sick of trying” and sick of being positive? I’m not sure she knows what those words mean. Did ALL OF FUCKING AMERICA miss the part where she tried and was positive? I’m a good person? NOE! NOE! YOU ARE NOT! YOU SUCK! AND SHE THINKS SHE IS A GOOD PERSON? I AM SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT I NEED HER TO JUST GO AWAY. NO ONE NEEDS TO BE WITH THIS BITCH. She feels like she is pretty. LOL. She is DELUSIONAL. She is literally the ugliest person on earth on the inside. Did she just tell production that she has been “NOTHING BUT NICE TO HIM?” Dear Lord, is she on drugs? What is wrong with this woman?

She wanted the apartment. Not the husband. She is furious that does not get the apartment. God Lord, her husband is a realtor. She could pick her own home. Yet, she tells the producers that she needs the apartment when he likely has a great house? So annoys me so much. The producers are like either you move in with him or you don’t. She meets with some of the other women and shares here bullshit. Chris meets with the other girls. Lindsey and Mark both take up for Chris. She needs to go. The girls don’t think she is giving him a chance. I don’t think she ever had a chance with him. She is awful. I have always thought she was poor.
Are we watching the same show as Alyssa? #MAFS pic.twitter.com/pZjBIkNVG6

Noi & Steve
I love these two so much. These two are going to a river with rapids, to swim? Isn’t that what the ocean is for? Ah! It is a rain forest. Steve loves exploring and Noi does not. Does she even know how to swim? I like that she is trusting him. She feels safe and loved with him. I AM ONLY CRYING BECAUSE I AM A HOT MESS! They had a great time.
Lindsey & Mark
I am shocked that these two are doing so well but also very happy for them. Mark apologizes to Lindsey for upsetting their romantic date. I think Mark saying that he wanted to move slow was sensible. Okay, I’m pausing because I AM NOT CRYING. YOU ARE. But, really the praying together made me sob. I’m crying at the drop of a hat these days, don’t mind me. They discuss church for the kids. They are both down with it. Then, they start talking about babies. These are all very good signs.

Oh no! Mark’s “mother figure” is calling him for money for rent? Maybe? Multiple times a day. ON. HIS. Honeymoon. Both, Lindsey and Mark have less than perfect mothers. So this is very sad. They go for a massage date to try to relax and forget his troubles. It is so sad to me that hey are troubled by their mothers. I was the baby and the favorite and my mother was still a enigma to me. She was very old school and I am just like her. Apparently his mother figure is the owner of his home. She kept texting him that cats would not be allowed while he was on the honeymoon. I hate cats but cats love me just to annoy me. So she is going to evict him? Lindsey says he can move in with her. I love her.
Katina & Olajuwon
These two go out horseback riding. Neither has ever done it before. It’s cute. When I was living in Libya lots of people had those very expensive Arabian horses. But, when you contract was up, you had to do something with your horses. I’d been invited out to ride a few times. I was very nervous. So some family was headed back to the US and wanted to give their horse to me. My parents declined. 🙁 I could have been a horse person! Now I don’t see myself ever doing that again. Sorry. I bought wine today. #LooseLips

Katina says she is not an animal person. Neither was I until someone broke into my house. I got a big puppy. I don’t know how I would have survived my life without him. Katina hates the whole experience. They argue. But apparently, it turned out okay.
Jasmina & Michael
Oddly we didn’t get to see their date together. But we do have a double date of the two of them going out with Katina and Olajuwon. This is a whole “the experts” got it right. I left this situation earlier but Jasmina doesn’t seem to get it. He is sharing, 
HOW WILL SHE GET THE APPARTMENT IF SHE LEAVES?
The group gets together. They talk about having kids. They talk about having communication problems in the marriage. It seems we have four good marriages and then there is the cuntsatchel. Alyssa and Mark are not good. Alyssa wants to have the apartment for first half and he can have it the second half. LOL . o bitch you are gone. Mark says he never heard that and he is either all in or all out.. Then we have another flat chested person saying she is a good person. And I know that my commenting rules say do not disparage another person’s body but she is so evil!

No one likes Alyssa. I wish Chris would stand up and say “I have done everything for this bitch.” Worst season ever with regard to harming a person .Everyone thinks Alyssa is a moron. Alyssa just wants to be on the show. Chris gets it. God I hate this woman. Chris is a great catch and she is a horrible person. Oh Iove him for telling he to keep the apartment. She is LITERALY the worst person in the world. At this point I would like to point out that she is wearing a bra with a blue jean jacket over her. AND SHE STILLL feels like she is someone special? She went on a TV show where everyone hates her! GDIAF. BYEEEEEE!
Thank you for your analysis of Alyssa. She is a character out of a psychotic story. It looks like next week Pastor Cal has a talk with her. It should be fun!
I have a soft spot for Lindsay and Mark. I hope they can make it work.
Me too!
This episode was so good! So bad and so good! Steve & Noi were adorable when just as he was getting her to relax and float, the fish bit him.
I don’t know what I think of Olajuwan, but I like his observations of Jasmina and Michael. I kept hoping he share his thoughts with them because I think he was spot-on and they could use his advice.
Alyssa and Chris and the aggressive hand gestures! She was killing me! He’s so smart to just keep playing it cool. I loved when she said they didn’t have compatible values and he was like, name one, and she couldn’t because she’s literally never talked with him! What a snot she is. What in the world does she think a realtor is? Did she actually say that a realtor is a used-car-salesman, but with houses? LOL – way to piss off a whole industry! Someday she’ll need a house and they’ll only show her the ones with problems. And she will deserve it! This was definitely must-see-TV! I am so glad you are re-capping this show!
I am so glad I can share thoughts on MFAS here! Agree with everyone on Alyssa…if you have to keep saying you are a good person, you probably are not! And seriously??? You want the apartment to be “part of the experiment”…the SOCIAL side of the experiment, not that pesky marriage part. The hand gestures kerfuffle, what is she talking about??? The woman is a narcissistic CU-Next-Tuesday. Even her girl Katina said she never gave him a chance.
She needs to go! And, then the experts should match him with a mature woman committed to the process.
I’m rooting for Mark and Lindsey!
HA! I was thinking she is the worst person in the world second only to our brain dead President!!! I knew we were agreeing too much 🤣😉
She is unreal and I LOVE that they are showing ALL the nasty things she says when she doesn’t think they are filming. Good person, experience and participate are going to be my drinking game words next week.
perhaps love during lockup would be a better show choice for alyssa. no apartment sharing.
Tamara, Maybe you should also sip your Cabernet each time Alyssa walks away feom a conversation. Between those two pieces of criteria most of us would be beyond “tipsy:.
Alyssa is a whiny bitch. And the fact that even her MOTHER is telling her she’s wrong says it all. The “experts” need to tell Chris to give up. But they won’t. She has lied, gaslighted, deflected,attacked his character and integrity. Why does he even want to keep trying at this point? She has shown herself to be a horrible person. Give up, Chris!
Olajuwan needs to stop with the “pushing” her. Who made him in charge of her development as a person? He hardly knows her. Just let the relationship develop. I don’t like the whole pushing thing because it puts her in a subservient position, a parent/child relationship. He’s not the boss here.
I’m also surprised about Mark and Lindsay. I like Lindsay better than I thought I would but I still think she has issues that could cause some problems.
I don’t think it’s going to work out for Jasmin. He’s not a good match for her.
I hope it works out for Steve and Noi but in the long run I think Steve is going to bail because he wasn’t ready for a mature, settled life commitment.
Alyssa is right up there with that scumbag Chris (not this Chris) for the worst spouse award! When she didn’t see whoever her dream man at the altar, she was out! Now, she just wants to be on TV. The fact that she hasn’t walked is proof of that. She told the producers that she hated him! Poor Chris! He seems lovely and genuine.
I can’t figure out why the producers don’t pull the plug but they let that mess last year with cheater/baby daddy Chris and that poor girl go on and on and on………
I totally agree. The producers (and the experts) need to grow a pair and tell her to get the hell out. I couldn’t believe when she said if Chris moves into the apartment it’s not fair because she will be robbed of the experience. The show is not about hanging out with friends….it’s getting to know the person you married at first sight. Hard to believe this chick passed the psychological testing.
There can’t be psychological testing on this show, not with the people on this show. Can’t be. smh
I’m actually liking Lindsey and Mark. Lindsey is probably one of those people you either love or hate cause she seems to rub folks the wrong way especially if she’s been drinking. But this episode shows that she’s someone you’d want in your corner. I’m rooting for them (but not the cats, sorry).
.
I don’t think Jasmina likes Mike. It’s still early and she may warm-up I guess. I have no feeling for them one way or another. I think they both have issues.
I think Katina and Olajuwon have potential. Olajuwon needs to chill out. I think Katina will check him one good time when she’s had enough, and he’ll fall in line.
Feels like I should say something about Steve and Noi. They seem like a nice match. We’ll see…
Last, the devil incarnate Alyssa. I can’t wait until the season ends and they are allowed to do interviews. I want to hear what she has to say for herself. She is treating Chris as if he did something to her. I guess him breathing is too much – oh and pointing at a building – shudder. Alyssa is a super gaslighter – the experience and process is with your new spouse, not the other girls on the show.
They really need to go back to the old format where the couples have separate honeymoons and lives. This is turning into some type of peer marriage therapy group instead of advice from the “experts”.
Well, I think we can all agree that Alyssa is NOT a good person no matter how many times she says that she is. All she has done is gaslight, put down, and disrespect Chris. Why did she say that she was offered the chance to go home but she chose to stay instead? Money, TV exposure? I wonder what the participan’ts contractual obligations actually are. We have seen other couples not get along and still stay on the show even though there seemed to be no chance for a successful relationship. I read somewhere they can be fined for breaking the contract. However, there must be provisions in it that give someone an out if they are being abused. IMO, Alyssa is being abusive toward Chris. I know past season’s Paige stayed with her husband Chris, but it was because she thought they might make it work. It is ridiculous that she demands to not stay in the same suite or apartment as Chris. On past seasons the spouse simply moved into the spare room. This demand alone should have the producers sending her home. On an unrelated note, did you notice how sunburned both Alyssa and Chris were?
Lindsey’s saying she needed a drink while listening to Alyssa’s BS was funny. She and Mark seemed to get along better this week. HIs landlord hounding him on his honeymoon was weird though. It didn’t make sense that Lindsey offered for him to move into her apartment because they are provided an apartment by the show when they return. Maybe she meant he could vacate his apartment and move all his stuff into hers? Olajawon was too pushy during horseback riding especially with someone he is just getting to know. Also, why wasn’t there a guide going along during their ride being that both were inexperienced riders?
Don’t know why I enjoy this show. Maybe it’s a distraction or just such a farfetched premise with little chance of producing lasting relationships so that drama is sure to ensue.
Alyssa definitely had some “legal” angle going – I thought I was picking up on it a couple of episodes ago but this week it was loud and clear. Her attempts to make declarative statements on behalf of she and Chris, the leading statements about feelings safe, her refusal to film certain conversations, etc. It may be that she is trying to avoid getting fined, it may be that she is seeking to still be compensated for the episodes she won’t film, it may be that she is trying to set up the pursuit of “damages” – I don’t know. On the aftershow, Chris also shared she had her lawyers on speed dial throughout the honeymoon.
All that being said, she ALSO isn’t exceptionally bright (and somehow I feel like her lawyers are a friend of the family giving some pro bono advice) – so I would be hard pressed to see how she would be successful given how she has presented herself on the show.
I am looking forward to them being back in Boston – the apartments are just north of the city on one of my favorite beaches. It’s nothing fancy but it’s one of the few “T” (subway) accessible beaches in the area. We didn’t have AC when I was growing up, so on super hot days, my dad would say “let’s take a quick dip at the beach” and we would drive up there for a 30 minute swim to cool off. I still go every summer but the water seems more still and less clean now unfortunately, but I love it all the same.
My dad passed away a few years ago, but he also loved MAFS early on (he was really just an old gossip and loved the drama) – he tried to get me into it but at the time I didn’t have any interest. Would LOVE to have heard his thoughts on this season!
There is no fine they can leave at anytime. However they do get paid per day. I believe Alyssa wants the perks of the show. By staying she is making it clear that she has zero interest in Chris. By her nonstop outburst so when she stays its for herself only.
One other thing. On the after show Chris said in his interview that after the wedding taping when they went to officially sign the wedding certificate, the efficient asked if they both would say “I Do” and Alyssa refused to say it. Chris also said Alyssa was busy on her phone speaking with her lawyer. When Chris asked for her phone number she essentially said no by telling him that she knows where to find his number if she needs it. She has no intentions of getting to know Chris even a a friend.
My favorite line from production: This is MAFS, not Single at First Sight.
I usually don’t watch the after party or pre party or mid party or any other non-episode episodes of MAFS. But seeing your reference to Alyssa I watched the last two that had to do with her.
What a difference a host makes! I never could stand Jamie Otis so I never watched. Keisha Knight Pulliam is sooooooo much better!!! She is like a dog with a bone with Alyssa and I LOVE it!
Highly recommend watching these episodes.
See? We can agree on some things! LOL.
@beetswhy, I agree. The revamped after show is better with Keisha! Alyssa needs to see definition of “trying”. She NEVER tried. Shut him out from jump. But SHE’S A GOOD PERSON 🙄🙄.
This show is very entertaining but they seem to have taken the leftovers from unmatchable sand put them in this show. Alyssa is unmatchable, abusive, rude and a horrible person.the calmer Chris stays the crazier she looks. I do not like Olajawan at all. He is immature, selfish and will cheat as soon as Katina doesn’t have his dinner on the table.
I knew Alyssa would be trouble from the first episode but I never thought she would be this bad. She is on the low level of Chris(old Chris) but not getting the sex he was getting. Alyssa is delusional– she sees things that are not there and hears things that others do not. She likes the ladies and wants to hang out with her friends. She can at least be cordial, remember Brett from last season?
I like the other couples, they are putting in the effort and that’s promising.
Lindsey heard Mark- even though she was hurt by his comments last week- and is actually better , she is not as extra. Mark’s landlord is a piece of work– she changed the lease during his honeymoon. He DOES have 5 cats and bedbugs—- so maybe it became too much. I hope Lindsey continues to show compassion and caring when the 5 cats move in for the “trial run”.
I like Katina and Olajuwon- he is learning too, “I can’t keep pushing her on everything”. Katina expresses herself and doesn’t pit up with too much of his “pushing”.
Jasmina is trying as well, I appreciate her not shutting down completely with the husband.
Alyssa is that Mean Girl from Middle School. Now we understand her mother’s reservations. Someone raised that entitled, self-absorbed Bratz doll. Don’t feel sorry for Chris. He is coming across as a kind, mature, dependable, guy who will have women lined up at his door. I’m now suspicious that when his friends threw him under the bus, they already had Alyssa’s number and were trying to get rid of her.
Alyssa the good person the I did nothing wrong and the victim. Where are the “experts” Dr Pepper? I hate that I still want her on the show. Keep making an ass out of yourself! Chris has done nothing wrong I was rooting for him to bail but nope too nice. Olajuwon’s talking head was great! “It’s 60 in Boston right now” the truth. Wish he would have said it to her! They see how she is treating Chris say something!
Fyi nice people don’t spend their time trying to convince others that their nice.
Lindsay is starting to grow on me, but there’s no way in hell Mark’s bedbugs would come to my house. He would have to start with everything brand new lol. I don’t think the landlord is obsessed with him. I think while he was on his honeymoon she realized there were bedbugs (he may have asked her to feed the cats and water the plants ) and now she’s worried about dirty pets and wants to have a clean apartment. Just my thoughts. I wouldn’t wait for somebody to come back either if the house was nasty… I would’ve sent a new lease with a docu sign in a heartbeat.
I don’t know what to think about Katina. Or Jasmina or Michael or Isaac. I’m still a little confused there…
Chris needs to get a do-over next season! I wish he would sue her for emotional distress and humiliation and all the trauma and PST that goes with it since she wants to be petty. She’s way too homely to be that concerned about somebody else’s looks…. but everything else aside, trying to set him up as if he’s dangerous it what’s really messed up. Women like that burn my nerves.
in real life Chris may be a total asshole, but we will never know it Since she never gave him any interaction or a reason to show how he could really be. She is just setting up the whole scenario to make herself shine as she truly is and he is definitely the victim here.
Hand gestures In a conversation with SOMEONE ELSE??? GTFOH with all that. Production deserves another trip to Puerto Rico after this
I meant PTSD
OMG!! Alyssa! I literally find myself talking out loud to the TV which is NOT my usual habit. My husband upstairs says..what’s going on down there? She is terrible. Anyone who has to tell you what a good person they are..is NOT a good person. Working in Hollywood I’ve met my share of Alyssas. It’s as though she is unaware that we’re all watching her behavior and we get it. You’re not a good person cupcake. I think she just wants to be on TV. The idea that she’s going to move into the apt for one month, so she can “hang with her girls”, then he’ll move in. Hello! It’s a show about being married, not girls night out. Alyssa wants to go straight to RH of somewhere. She’s already got the whining teary stuff down pat, and like a lot of those women she obviously doesn’t feel she needs a husband. I think she and Noella might be made for each other. Also, I got the idea listening to Jasmina and Katina that she’s also into blocking everybody. If they couldn’t pick up on on her during the vetting process, I really am having big doubts about those “experts” and their abilities.
I wish that the US version was like the Aussie version where the couples have to meet every week with the “experts” to decide if they want to stay married or not and sometimes the “experts” pull the plug when things are super bad. I wanted that for evil Chris and now for evil Alyssa!
Also, remember when it was on here for a couple of seasons and we would sometimes be so confused as to what was going on? Well, I found a website that has the series on demand and it was there that I discovered that they have multiple episodes per week, like Big Brother. Wow! I just looked and it is on 5 days a week! Too much even for me! it is southhemitv for those who want to watch. It has all of the seasons, too!
Oh my dearest Alyssa….you are indeed a terrible person. Imagine if there was a drinking game for each time she tells anyone who will listen that she is a good person. I, too, thought the shining moment was “this is MAFS, not Single At First Sight”. She must have really made the production team mad if they are blowing her up and showing her ‘shining’ not so behind the scenes moments of her talking at them.
Every time Lindsay is on the screen and starts with the loud smokers laugh or obnoxious comments I get PTSD. Had a 20+ year friend who lives in Kingston, MA (South of Boston) and looks/acts EXACTLY like her! She borrowed $600 from me a few years ago to put oil in her tank for home heating, quit her paralegal job, bragged to me that she bought a ton of Kate Spade because she couldn’t resist the sale emails she was receiving and when I nicely asked her 9 months later for the money back and presented a payment plan because I was purchasing my first home, she told me I am her lowest priority and I would never see the money and to lose her number. I do realize that when loaning someone money, don’t expect it back but I did. @BostonGal – up for a road trip to Kingston for Operation Get My Money?! 🙂 🙂
Between this train wreck and Love After Lockup/During Lockup/Whatever else spinoff they create, I feel positively sane.
