Last night’s episode of Married At First Sight put a lot of things into perspective. Everything that glitters isn’t gold and first impressions may not be lasting impressions. Just when you thought you knew what direction things were going, a twist appears. I was left in shock, horror and embarrassed for some of the cast.
Three pairs of newlyweds make the most of their honeymoon, while two couples aren’t the picture of happiness. One couple attempts to heal their fractured marriage. Despite sunny skies, there are rough seas ahead for a couple of these stranger spouses. Let’s get straight to the recap!
Katie Conrad and Derek Sherman are still basking in newlywed bliss. As they get to know each other, they can see why they were matched. Derek even thinks he is well on his way to falling in love. Let’s hope Katie has long forgotten her “ex” that she couldn’t stop raving about before the wedding.
Trouble may be brewing in paradise. Katie is becoming nervous about going back home and living together. In a post-production interview, she hints Derek may be smothering her already. Hmmm… Will Katie start feeling like her marriage is a one night stand, that has outstayed their welcome?
Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer are the most normal couple of the bunch. They are already talking about their future plans within their marriage. I will admit they are a cute couple, but unbearably boring. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why boring people are necessary on TV. But I also understand why remotes have a fast forward button as well.
Austin and Jessica discuss religion and how that will play a role in their marriage. They both believe in a higher power, but don’t attend a place of worship regularly. Because they want to have children in the future, they want to explore the topic more in the near future. Later that night, the two share a romantic dinner. I think it’s cute they both find ways to cater to the other. Poor Austin is even trying to go to bed and wake up earlier.
Meka Jones and Michael Watson decide to forego an uncomfortable group trip with the rest of the couples. It seems like they both are frustrated and waiting on the other to make the first move. I’m a little disappointed that Michael was presented as so mature and zen. He can’t seem to find a haiku or even a downward dog move to get past this obstacle. Whining in the hotel about being a failure isn’t going to fix your marriage. Meka, stop holding a grudge. Find a way to at least be friendly with your stranger husband.
Meka and Michael finally decide to at least pretend to be cordial and go on an outing to get to know each other better. Michael opens up by talking more about his love of teaching while Meka sits stone-faced. This girl isn’t letting him out of the dog house that easily. LMAO! As the day progresses Meka starts to thaw her frozen heart, just a bit. Maybe there is hope!
Well, I thought there was hope. Meka lays out some house rules, before they even move together. Sigh! This is your husband, not your child. I really hope she watches this season and realizes how aggressive she comes off at times. Who wants to be around someone who is so stern? At least Michael didn’t rock the boat and just smiled his way out of her laundry list of demands. He is allowed back into the room that night, after he goes to bed in the robe as required by Meka.
Mindy Shiben and Zach Justice are so cringy it’s ridiculous. Their interactions seem forced, to say the least. Zach would clearly rather being doing anything but hanging out with his wife. The other couples discuss when they want to have children. When Mindy expresses interest in having children with him, he looks at her like she is insane. Mindy, did you forget he told you he isn’t attracted to you? Well, I didn’t! Zach thinks nothing of telling all of the men that he isn’t attracted to his wife as well. He claims he is trying to establish a friendship in order to see if there could be sparks in the future.
Zach asks Mindy her thoughts on their marriage, thus far. She questions why he isn’t wearing his ring anymore. He claims he forgets to put on jewelry. Yet he is donning a watch and bracelet on his wrist. He then redirects the conversation back to the lack of attraction conversation. Chile please, Mindy tell this guy he isn’t every woman’s dream. Mindy is extremely offended and asks “what do you want me to do, get breast implants.” Zach is a complete douche bag and he isn’t even attractive to me.
Mindy is so frustrated she calls Dr. Viviana Coles about Zach’s behavior. Not only is Zach not attracted to his wife, but he doesn’t want her to use words like husband towards him. WTF! Did this dude think this show was a Tinder date, rather than an actual marriage? I actually feel bad for Mindy. Their relationship is quickly becoming reminiscent of Kate Sisk and Luke Cuccurullo from a previous season.
Taylor Dunklin and Brandon Reid seem to be in a better place now that she isn’t disturbing his beauty sleep with a camera. Brandon admits that he and his wife have had some issues. He blames the cameras and production for his diva like behavior. According to him, he is just a shy private person who just happened to get married to a stranger and sign up to film it. Insert eye roll emoji here.
While out on a boat trip with all of the couples, Brandon’s insecurities start to peek out. He reveals that his wife has a large social media presence and seems a little bothered by the attention. I guess he isn’t accustomed to not being the star in the relationship. Brandon admits to the other husbands that he has made mistakes, but feels like Taylor has taken it all in stride. Meanwhile, Taylor confesses to the girls that her hubby is a bit of a moody princess. Although she doesn’t like his behavior at times, she appreciated his sweet gestures. Nice gesture or not, I would have to give Brandy Brandon a piece of my mind about his nasty attitude.
On the last night of their honeymoon, Taylor strokes Brandon’s ego. When she asks her husband to move his hands to take a picture, the green eyed monster rears his head. Little does she know, Brandon doesn’t care for her social media stardom. He is leery of women who have huge followings because they may not be real. Brandon attempts to soften the blow by stating that she has been able to put her phone down at times to enjoy the moment.
I’m sure Taylor has gained more followers now after tonight’s episode. Brandon’s abrasive behavior becomes directed at production. Upset that he didn’t get food when he wants, he has a complete tantrum and refuses to film. It’s so bad that Taylor attempts to talk to him. She tells him she doesn’t want to be married to that side of him. This comment infuriates him to the point he refuses to pack his own belongings. He then has the nerve to yell and curse at his wife and everyone else on the bus to the airport. Oh, hell no! Taylor, you may need lessons from Meka on how to let a man know you won’t deal with his bull$#!%.
TELL US – WILL MEKA ALLOW MICHAEL INTO HER HEART AGAIN? DO YOU THINK BRANDON IS JEALOUS OF TAYLOR’S SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE? DOES ZACH HAVE COLD FEET OR IS HE A JERK? IS KATIE STARTING TO FEEL SMOTHERED BY DEREK? WHICH MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT COUPLES ARE YOU ROOTING FOR?

The post Married At First Sight Recap- In Seasickness And In Health appeared first on Reality Tea.
HOW COULD TERESA GIUDICE LEAVE HER WALLET AT HOME? All these girls want to do is see their father Joe Giudice, and now it’s not looking possible. The Real Housewives of New Jersey is always a little dark, but that is awful. All their daughters talk about is how much they miss their father. I almost had a heart attack watching last week’s episode when she realized she was missing the required identification.
A big question mark heading into this episode is Jennifer Aydin. She’s feuding with half of the group, and it gets worse by the episode. Her outspoken and over the top antics are not well received by the other women. Only time will tell if she can get back on the good side of the women who are allegedly her friends. You have to give it to her though. She brings the drama more than most of the group, and that cannot be taken away.
Teresa is too far away to turn back and retrieve their licenses. Luckily, the jail is trying to make an exception for her to be able to see Joe with copies. I feel like a lot of places wouldn’t do that. I just hate seeing the pain on their daughter’s faces, even if they are bratty.
Joe Gorga is honestly the best brother in the world. He dropped everything right away to help Teresa get copies of those ID’s. Gold star award for Tarzan.
Thankfully, they got in to see Joe, but the visit was still a little somber. They couldn’t touch him or have any contact at all really. I’m glad he’s in Italy now because it’s a better overall situation for the family. It may be across the world, but a plane ride away is better than behind bars.
I feel like we never see Dolores Catania’s daughter so this is a fun treat. So much of her life is a mystery to me. From her kids to her boyfriend David Principe. It’s all confusing. Hearing Dolores expect to be disappointed by her boyfriend is a little sad. That’s not how you should live out a relationship. There’s nothing healthy about that.
Shout out to Jennifer for ordering water while out to dinner with her husband Bill Aydin. The Tequila Monster can only come out every so often. No need for that thing to rear it’s ugly head every chance it gets. Some H2O is so welcomed.
Jennifer harping on Jackie Goldschneider’s cheap birthday party for her kids is already old. I respect Jennifer’s opinion about the party, but come on. Talk about a dog with a bone. Why is this the issue out of all of the issues that she’s choosing to harp on against Jackie? There are plenty of other things about Jackie that are annoying that she could point out.
A Melissa Gorga solo scene! SNOOZE! I bet she’s gathering her mom and sister around to tell them about this baby stuff. Nobody is actually buying that she might have another baby right? Every season, it seems like she contrives some new story to keep herself on Real Housewives of New Jersey. How has she not been demoted or dropped?
I was right! That’s why she gathered her family together. Even her family was like, “why is this a thing?”. UHHH SAME. Melissa, everyone can see through you.
Melissa is acting like she has an empty nest and needs to fill it back up. Her boys are still really young, and the daughter isn’t that old either. She has plenty of time at home with her kids for many years to come. Embrace that and drop the baby talk!
Gia’s reaction to Nonno wanting her to eat that weird combo of food was hilarious. This on top of that full giant squid he was making at 6 AM last week. Someone has been watching way too much Chopped on Food Network.
It’s hard to watch how in denial Gia is about her father’s situation. We know he gets deported so that might be what makes her even worse. Unfortunately, they all need to come to terms with the situation and let him go.
Joe feels nothing for Teresa anymore, so what’s keeping them together? He treats her like trash, verbally degrades her, and is holding up her life. What is his redeeming quality at this point?
Let him jet off to Italy and stay there. Teresa can find a new man that actually respects and appreciates her. I know she can be an air-headed, table-flipping, psycho in her own right, but nobody deserves Joe.
Jackie is taking a page from Margaret Josephs and helping her father declutter. Margaret had a rough time doing this with Marge Sr. so hopefully this goes better. I can’t really like at Jackie’s dad the same anymore since his comments about her past weight struggles. It was so tone deaf and insensitive. To make it worse, he had no idea why that wasn’t okay to say.
Jackie and her father have a really honest conversation about weight and dieting, and it’s eye-opening. She realizes that her father thought her losing weight was so great because he never obtained the goal the hard way. Jackie’s finally opening up to her father, and maybe this will help shift his mindset moving forward. He didn’t realize the extent of her issue, so he will probably be more sensitive in the future.
Margaret’s party is going to be so over the top and fabulous and probably full of drama. Jennifer is on the outs with Melissa and Jackie right now, so anything could happen. Plus both Jennifer and Dolores dipped out on Jackie’s trip early. Some confrontation is bound to go down at this event. However, Margaret has security ready and waiting to throw people out.
Margaret’s event looks like something I would LOVE to attend. It looks so fun, but also lux at the same time. I’m so jealous of everyone in attendance. All the food looks to die for. I NEED. I shouldn’t watch this while I’m so hungry.
I’m definitely with Jackie when it comes to Dolores‘ boyfriend David. If I hadn’t seen him a few times this season, I’d agree that he does not exist. He doesn’t really appear to care much for her.
Dolores invites all of the women to a vacation at the Jersey Shore which should be explosive. Melissa doesn’t really want to deal with Jennifer on the trip, but she’ll manage. Jennifer is pure entertainment, but I don’t think I’d want to vacation with her either. She’s always starting some sort of altercation.
Jennifer’s fake hello rubs Melissa the wrong way, and we are moments away from a fight. Plus, Jennifer is drinking tequila. Ugh. I love watching her like this, but I hate it for the rest of them. However, I kind of want to see it go down.
Jackie drags Jennifer’s marriage saying that her husband works a lot to avoid her. Jennifer doesn’t seem bad at all when she’s at home. She actually comes off as a very devoted wife and mother. She’s a lot different around this group of girls.
Jennifer tries to apologize, but Jackie tells her she ruined the trip. Margaret gets thrown under the bus again by Jennifer as the reason the trip get ruined. Nobody in this group takes accountability for anything at all. They’re all hypocrites all the time.
Jennifer is feeling HOT about this issue with Jackie, so this isn’t the end of this fight at all. The Jersey Shore trip is going to be DRAMA. These two will never get along for a real friendship.
Joe tries to tell Bill he needs to have sex with Jennifer more to loosen her up, and that doesn’t go over well. What part of Bill makes them think he’d react well to that? So much for Margaret’s idea that the men would help calm the issue. Someone’s going to end up in a fist fight over this. Although, I can’t picture Bill fighting ever. Jennifer is the prizefighter of that family.
Cheers to Margaret on the success of her company! One thing I love about her is her willingness to put it all out there with no f**ks given. LOVE IT.
TELL US – WILL JACKIE AND JENNIFER EVER STAY FRIENDS? WAS JOE OUT OF LINE FOR HIS COMMENTS TO BILL? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY?
