On this week’s MAFS Boston recap we finally move the couples into their new apartments. The funny thing is the episode this week says, “Four and a half couples move in with their new spouses.” I am so ready for this episode. It’s five am and I have not gone to bed yet. I’m going to start this recap because I am wide awake and feeling better than I have in weeks. It always seems to work that way. So, I’m going to at least get it started. The couples come straight from the airport to their apartments.
Lindsey & Mark
The minute they get into their apartment, Lindsey tells Mark to give her all of her his dirty laundry so she can do a load of wash. That could not wait until the morning? Lindsey and Mark go to his apartment wearing hazmat suits with gloves and masks due to the bed bug situation. They are throwing out a lot of things and basically moving him out. Then Mark goes to Lindsey’s place. She introduces him to all of her plants. They all have names. Wait, it just occurred to me that Mark is the realtor. Why is he renting from some pseudo mommy? Then, they combine their cats in the apartment. Lindsey’s are more aggressive than Mark’s.

The next time we see Lindsey, Mark is nowhere to be seen. His grandmother only weighs 70 pounds and is in bad shape. Also the landlord is making things worse again. Mark is really stressed out and Lindsey says she doesn’t know who Mark is right now. She says off camera Mark is very hot and cold with her, and it’s driving her insane. Oh noe! Later, at their apartment, they sit down for a talk. Only we are seeing Dickhead Mark. He’s glaring at her. Lindsey says she just needs a Pastor Cal to come. When he arrives, Lindsey is sitting alone on the balcony. Lindsey says that Mark went from being open and honest with her to not sharing with her and their sex life has stopped to the point where he won’t even hold her hand.
Wow. I did not see that coming. Mark tries to deny it. Pastor Cal stops him and says to let her get it all out. She says that she is hurt because it went from all to nothing. She is furious. Mark gets emotional. He says that whatever it was that Lindsey did on plane on the way to the honeymoon was brought up. I have no idea what his issues are. Neither does Lindsey. Apparently, Pastor Cal speaks Mark. Or not. I thought he as going to interpret Mark for us. Finally, Mark says that he needs to be able to get through some things the way he normally would with Lindsey trying to micromanage the situation. AH. Now we are getting somewhere. He doesn’t need or want her to fix everything. That’s the problem.
Katina & Olajuwon
The first thing Olajuwon says is they need to go get groceries so she can cook for him. Katina is feeling the pressure. The next day they go to Olajuwon’s house. He’s very proud of it. But, Katina is not impressed. But, she seems to think she could fix it up. Pastor Cal shows up and they talk about Olajuwon tying Katina tied to the stove. Pastor Cal talks about how how Olajuwon didn’t support Katina on their horseback riding date. They have not had sex. Olajuwon isn’t ready because “what if it don’t work.” I guess he means the relationship and not his dick. Katina feels a bit rejected. Pastor Cal tells him to go for it.
Noi & Steve
These two basically just fall into bed. The next day Steve goes to Noi’s apartment and meets her dog, Sushi. Steve is not a dog person. He gets nauseous if he has to pick up dog poop. Also, he’s not thrilled that Noi insists that the dog sleep in the bed with them at the apartment. Steve’s apartment is nice, for a bachelor pad. He has LED lights in every room in the house. They change colors. Noi is not amused.

Pastor Cal comes for a visit and the only issue they disagree on is number of children. He wants two, she wants three. She says that is a deal breaker for her. Noi is worried about Steve’s employment situation. She grew up in a refugee camp and was very, very poor. Noi says that she is scared about having financial instability. Steve says he has plenty of freelance options and has no problem making money.
Alyssa & Mark
Mark moved to the apartment alone. YAY! Unfortunately, I don’t think we have seen the last of her. Mark meets with his best friend of his for some frisbee golf. Mark tells his friend about the psychic and the eagle tattoo nonsense. His best friend is a cop! When he tells him that Alyssa freaked out over his whole “defunding the police” views, she was not willing to listen to him about what that would look like.

Meanwhile, Alyssa meets with her mother at a small café. Alyssa literally says to her mother, “You haven’t seen the way he treats me.” You mean when he is kind and he listens and tries to get you to talk to him? She’s projecting her behavior on to him. She tells her mother that one of her big issues is HIS LACK OF RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE! She really needs to be in a locked mental ward somewhere. Also, not surprisingly, she is a Trumper. She didn’t like a post he made on IG about defunding the police. She doesn’t know what defunding the police means. That’s because the left did a very poor job of presenting their plan. I bet her mother’s jaw dropped when she watched the episodes.
Later these two meet with Pastor Cal. Mark says Alyssa rejected him from the get go. And she did. Pastor Cal is not buying it. Then she starts listing reasons why they can’t live in the same apartment. The both have big dogs. But, also she is allergic to dogs. She makes no sense. Then Mark tells Pastor Cal, “This is my decision day.” He wants a divorce. YES! Mark. YES!
BYE BITCH!
She fake cries replete with the triangle Kleenex. He basically calls her out for just wanting to be on TV. She denies it. She leaves saying she is not a bad person and she just wanted to be treated with respect. Does she believe the things coming out of her mouth? She really needs in-house mental heath care. She’s utterly delusional and not a good actress. Chris will be FLOODED with women wanting to meet him.
Jasmina & Michael
Michael is also moving into the apartment alone. She has all sorts of excuses mostly she needs to find more daycare for her dog. Why not just bring the dog to the apartment? Also, why didn’t she plan for this? Jasmina admits she is really taking a couple of days to clear her head. Jasmina goes to Michael’s apartment. Michael has two roommates. Jasmina is pissed that Michael has a female roommate and never told her. She only found out because she saw her in the house. Then she finds out that BOTH of his roommates are female. Wow.

Pastor Cal shows up for a “therapy session.” It’s clear they have issues. Jasmina says that Michael is disrespectful when he talks to her and that it is even worse off camera. Michael totally lies and says that does not happen. Jasmina doubles down. Pastor Cal says that when Michael speaks to her disrespectfully, she should respond with, “I am not your enemy.” Where is the Pastor Cal who read Chris the riot act last season. We need him in this situation.
Next time: It’s the housewarming parties with friends and family. We always learn a whole lot at those. Also, there is trouble in paradise with Steve and Noi. Noi apparently ghosted him and posted on her Instagram that the relationship was not working. Mark and Lindsey continue to butt heads. 🙁
I was so excited to see Chris (he is the realtor not Mark) finally decide enough is enough! I couldn’t believe that Alyssa had the nerve to come in there and say that she wanted to try!
I feel bad for Chris that he will see even more of how horrible Alyssa was!
It is early days but the other couples seem a little shaky……..
I think that Alyssa is perhaps the biggest liar we have ever seen on any show. The worst part of her lies, the thing that really burns me up, the things she accuses Chris of are HER BEHAVIORS! It’s like it is opposite day ever day! It’s a kind of mental defect unlike any I have ever seen on any of these shows. Something is seriously wrong with her.
The funniest part of Alyssa’s final lie fest is that she not only has a dog of her own but runs a dog rescue. So apparently her allergies only kick in when a dog belongs to Chris!
WHAT? I wouldn’t want her around my dog or any others.
Other than LinkedIn it’s the only social media site she has up right now. It’s on FB.
Check out her LinkedIn nonsense. She claims to be a “media strategist” or some such nonsense. That means she can play on FB and Insta under the stamp out “builders” name and gargle like Kamala.
Yes….that is basically what she said!!
Anyone surprised that Lindsey’s cats were more agressive than Mark’s? LOL
Now Alyssa is saying something about her helping a young lady during the honeymoon night and that Chris did not like helping the lady.. Can someone corroborate any of this?
Noe. Because she is a lying faced liar who lies.
Lindsey excuses all her poor behavior by says “I’m alot.” Everything has to go her way or she strikes out verbally caustically. Mark is lost when trying to deal with her because he’s not naturally mean spirited. When he dies stand up to her she’s either the victim or straight up mean.
And its funny how easily Lindsey pivots from mean girl to deference when Pastor Cal called her out. She’s gonna have to dial it back or lose Mark.
She could have merchandise with the saying
“I’m a f—-ing good person!”
I disagree. I think Lindsey is already in love with Mark. He’s going through several stressful things at once. She wants to fix it. That emasculates Mark because it makes him feel like SHE THINKS he doesn’t know how to do it himself. I’ve had people in my life who want to give me advice and “tell me a better way to do things” that I resented. But things that are going along just fine. And I realize the intentions are good, they are received as “I can do this better than you can.” There his helping, and then there is helping that comes off as I know more than you do about your own situation. And the “helpful person” is only trying to help when their help is ill informed and not needed. She’s known him a week and already feels the need to give him advice on his other relationships or lack there of. He’s been dealing with this for years. She needs to give him some space.
Yes! Yes! Yes! He needs space.
Lindsey’s Mark is a personal trainer, hence all the inspirational quotes. Alyssa’s Mark is the Realtor.
Thanks. It totally made no sense that Mark lived where he lived. 🙂
I think Alyssa’s “Mark” is named Chris. LOL
Am I giving Alyssa too much credit? Get on a reality show and make yourself the most despicable character to ever appear on the show and have other reality shows clamoring. to get the most loathed villain evah on their show? She could run the Amazing Race as her own team, refuse to compete in HOH and Veto comps on BB, demand to be on her own island on Survivor, dismiss all of her suitors in one swoop on the most exciting rose ceremony of the shortest season evah of the Bachelorette, or she could go on Shark Tank and promote her “Good Person” brand.
Thankfully Top Chef and Hell’s Kitchen would have to pass as knives are involved.
This is awesome — Demand her own island! You’re cracking me up.
I have wondered about this as well. Is Alyssa really this rude, cruel and frankly, stupid? Or was participating a calculated attempt to parlay her time on MAFS it into a reality show villain….career? It’s not like she’d be the first. If I were younger, I would’ve turned each episode into a drinking game…as in a shot for every time she said “I’m a good person.” I’d be drunk by mid-episode.
Add another shot for each time the evil genius got up and walked away from a conversation.
Lindsey doesn’t do moderate- it’s extra intense all the time, she helps in an extreme way and she lashes out in an extreme way, there is not in between. That can be very confusing and frustrating for a mild mannered man like Mark. He’s probably still processing being married, getting kicked out of his apartment, bed bugs—so most of his belongings are gone, sick grandma and a new wife who has an intense personality. He probably wants to retreat for a few days like Jasmina but has nowhere to go..
Michael didn’t tell his wife he has 2 female roommates? It’s not a dealbreaker but it’s one more thing in the negative column for him. Hopefully Jasmina will not shut down totally. It might be too late, especially if he talks sideways to her when the cameras are off.
Noi is triggered by unstable income, her husband was patient and reassured her when she explained her concerns. It was a sweet moment. I like dogs but not in my bed.
Chris( the realtor) is fantastic—good for him. Alyssa, girl bye.
Katina and Olajuwon might be ok, he is not oppressive with tying her to the stove and she will speak up if he is doing too much. I like them. He seems committed to being a good husband to her.
O is still confused between how he talks to his boys in the streets and how to talk to his wife and thw other couples. I did like the deference he showed Pastor Cal, so I know there’s hope for him but it’s gonna take some time and patience from Katina.
Watching Michael triggered me. He can seriously go F himself a piece of garbage. I hope to be as mentally strong as Jasmina. I endured verbal abuse from my husband over a decade. When a man uses anger as a means to control you that man is f’d in the head. This week has been complete hell for me. A male coworker set his sights on me and would scathingly berate and reprimand me. During the toxic exchange I stood my ground which made things worse. I should have walked away and not participated. But unfortunately I cried out of sheer anger in front of my coworkers. I am completely embarrased. That A$$hole was reprimanded by management and told to stay away from me. But i worked hard in therapy to get to the point I am at today. Completely feel like I backslide. I should have recognized that f’r’s pattern. So F those like Michael who uses anger as a tool to manipulate their partners or coworkers.
Send you hugs Belinda🤗
MAFS background check:
1. Is this person alive, yes then move them to the next stage
2. do they have possible mental instability, yes, move to top of list to be paired with gentle, loving, pull at your heartstrings kinda person.
3. Did they pass their polygraphs, yes they did because they are borderline, well you know the best combo for them is someone willing to drop gloves.
Ok we are all set for this years shit show, enjoy!!!
I knew from the pre- wedding scenes that Alyssa was not going to be happy with Mark. She kept making comments on how she hoped her husband was hot. She felt entitled to a hot husband. I would think the producers warn the participants that they are not matching them with a “Bachelor” contestant. Watching Alyssa make a fool of herself was like watching a car wreck, you couldn’t look away. But I’m glad she’s off the show and that Mark dumped her on TV. Now we can see more screen time for the other couples.
At first glance it seems that Noi and Steve have the best chance to make a connection. However, this latest episode has me doubting them. I am mostly concerned with Noi’s expectations. She seems unrealistic in her demand to have 3 children and not even consider other possibilities or her husband’s feelings. Same thing with expecting that he should be fine with the dog sleeping between them and on the pillow. She may end up turning him off with her it’s my way or the highway attitude. She seems naive with her fairy tale view of marriage. I wonder if she was spoiled as a child. When her brother was talking to Steve during the wedding he made comments that seemed to say that Steve needs to give Noi what she wants. Noi should not stop asserting herself, but I think needs to work with her husband and be willing to compromise.
I meant to type Alyssa and Chris not Mark.
Noi does seem to be a little rigid as far as expectations go but she definitely wasn’t spoiled as a child. She grew up in a refugee camp.
Except for the accent, she reminds me of the worst of the worst of the Aussie MFS and that woman who was faking wanting to make it work with her husband just so she could keep coming back every week to try and hook up with another husband more to her liking. My husband who came downstairs and was walking through the room (he usually never watches this stuff) remarked on what a bad vibe he got from her and I was all “wait! lemme show you something!!” and I rolled it back so he could see her in all her glory. He was appalled, but he sat and watched so maybe that twas the shows intention all along, though it’s a cruel thing to do to poor Chris who just wanted a wife.
Sadly, I played the drinking game all by myself getting caught up on MAFS.
The 1st 3 episodes didn’t record or were deleted????
Anywho, miss everyone so much!
Horrible couple of years behind us. I have a few days off caught up a bit here, can I say again? I missed you all soo much!
Luv you Tamara and friends!
KIPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clutch me to your bosum! So glad you are back! A LOT of people went MIA since COVID the site isn’t the same without EVERYBODY! 🙁 But I get it, we all have a lot going on and none of it is particularly good. 🙁 But at least we are in it together.
so glad Alyssa got some karma and in such a classy way. I did not like Jasmine talking to Michael like a scolding mom. For O being such a player his holding back was a red flag. I think he wants a maid in the kitchen. He doesn’t seem to have much game for being such a player. Think Steve has a low value of money. Maybe he is secretly loaded but cheap, or he is burned out and just wants to road trip. Lindsey love bombing is making MTS crawl into his turtle 🐢 shell. I actually like Lindsey she is funny and quirky. MTS has lost his drive. Chris is the real winner cuz the women have got to be calling his number. Don’t think any will make it hope I am wrong. Oh Alyssa and the tattoo is weird but I think she wanted Steve who does have the right tattoo but it really freaked Noi so she changed the story from lion to eagle.
Olajuwon doesn’t seem like the type to not want to have sex with a beautiful woman. That whole situation is weird. I sort of wonder if he asked her to say that it was him who was not ready instead of him. Something is off there. Will there be another girlfriend entering the picture? And if so what kind of girlfriend would be with a guy who married someone else on national TV. It just doesn’t make any sense???? Something is going on with these two.
