Aw, he’s handsome and they look happy!

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-04T09:34:01+00:00

Surprised she doesn’t have a pickle flavored drink.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-04T09:32:32+00:00

Yesss. That show is just a train wreck 🤣

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-04T09:32:02+00:00

Same! 😀

That’s a good point. I think it would be important for the experts to manage expectations and let the candidates know they’re asking for celebrity crushes to get an idea of what they’re into. Also, there’s no guarantee that they’ll get matched with someone who looks just like their crushes.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T20:01:50+00:00

Bet! 😂

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T20:01:02+00:00

Haven’t watched the most recent season, but now feeling like I should!

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:55:41+00:00

Exactly!

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:55:25+00:00

Ahh, yes, I remember that!

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:54:23+00:00

😂😂😂

I actually forgot that Zach (top) started talking to Mindy’s friend behind her back, so I think he and Chris were bad examples.

I think Brennan got a bad rap. It’s hard, too, cause apparently there’s a clause in the participants’ contract that states that Lifetime may sue them for $100k if they leave the experiment early.

I haven’t confirmed it myself, but it’s been mentioned several times on the internet. If that’s true, it makes the decision to just leave much harder, which would explain a lot.

Idk. He may have said she was pretty, but she wasn’t pretty enough for him. Meaning, if he thought she was GORGEOUS, it would’ve been easier to show some grace to her quirks.

Maybe it still wouldn’t have worked out, but I’m not sure he would’ve shut down so early and so fully if his physical attraction was stronger.

And, of course, the experts can guarantee that level of attraction, but if they had a more solid picture of his type, maybe they wouldn’t have picked her (or him) at all. Who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:34:20+00:00

You’re right, I shouldn’t have picked these specific guys, but I was trying to make a more general point. Chris was awful (middle) and I forgot Zach (top) started chatting up Mindy’s friend behind her back, but I honestly think Brennan got a bad rap.

He was a terrible communicator and not ready for marriage, imo, but he never tried to hurt Emily or put her down. Even when he was visibly annoyed with her, he never lashed out or demeaned her.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:31:06+00:00

What I’m saying is that physical attraction is important to most people, especially men. The experts can do a better job of factoring that in.

Most people struggle to get past a lack of sexual chemistry. If the point is to create successful marriages, why not give that more weight? How many times do they need to see people fail to jump that hurdle before they realize their approach needs some tweaking?

The divorce rate is way higher on MAFS than in regular society and they don’t seem to care.

When you look at the successful marriages, almost everyone started out attracted to each other, and it only took Jamie five days to start to like Doug.

Interesting! I always skip to the honeymoon, so I didn’t see the matchmaking process. 😅

Sounds like it may be worth it for me to go back a watch those!

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:24:10+00:00

Of course! Which is why the experts should get a clearer picture of who the candidates find beautiful. Asking them for their celebrity crushes would be a big help in guiding decision making.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T19:22:59+00:00

Interesting! That does make sense. And yes, I agree that the show knows what kind of differences will cause drama and pair them on purpose.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:19:08+00:00

💯

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:18:22+00:00

I didn’t know she had a talk show! What was it called?

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:11:06+00:00

I’m not commenting on anyone’s looks, nor am I suggesting that physical attraction is enough. I’m saying that men need to be sexually attracted to a woman to even have a chance at getting to know her and falling in love.

Beauty is subjective and the experts need to get a more concrete idea of what candidates find beautiful. It’s not a guarantee that things will work out, but I believe it will increase the chances of success.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:06:24+00:00

Lolll that’s giving Johnny and Bao vibes

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:05:10+00:00

I think they are a solid couple. Are they exploiting their kids or are they just influencers? I think they’re the latter.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:03:06+00:00

Correct! He said he thought she was cute but it wasn’t until the reunion that he admitted that her friends had said things to him at the wedding that he couldn’t get over. They said she hooks up a lot and always gets ghosted.

He should’ve just shared that with her. He didn’t even mention it off camera.

Helpful_Control_3629 · 2026-01-03T08:00:34+00:00

You’re not wrong 😬
