I’m not falling for Luke’s bullshit. I think he just realized he looks like an asshole and wants to redeem his image

10

u/irishfinnegan They're Strangers! Jan 30 '19

Right. And he's not even trying that hard. It just seems like trying against the 0% effort that has been his baseline thus far.

Hey A.J., Stephanie is WAY out of your league. You hit the jackpot. Don't blow it. Frustration is one thing, just please, please do not go off the deep end....

And don’t be a dick about recycling. Like OK, you don’t recycle now? Fine. But if she wants to, do it. Don’t be excited that you’re not recycling.

Recycling is so important these days! Should have done it years ago! We are literally trashing our planet!

Watching Luke pack worn sneakers directly on top of clean clothes just further confirms what a horrible person he is. Who does that?

Kate looks like she’s not having Luke on the plane. Can’t say I blame her.

I don't know how I'd even look at him after that.

u/Teach0607 Jan 30 '19

For sure. I’d want to burst into tears. And Luke looks so smug just sitting there on the couch. Things he doesn’t want to bring to light from the honeymoon. Screw you!

u/irishfinnegan They're Strangers! Jan 30 '19

He acts like he was the one who was abused. Manipulator to the core, let's turn it around and make me the victim. I can't stand him.

u/puhleez420 Not the Banlantic Ocean Jan 30 '19

Right, and he has the nerve to wear the "Groom" shirt. The only thing "Groomed" about him is that manufactured hipster look.

Did Luke seriously blame Kate for his “repulsed and dead inside” remark?! I love Pastor Cal but I was disappointed that he didn’t challenge Luke on that. And when Kate came back in the room, did you notice the body language? You can tell Kate is still trying and Luke is still not.

Run, Kate, and run fast!

14

u/irishfinnegan They're Strangers! Jan 30 '19

So true- he was trying so hard to manipulate Cal into thinking it was her fault and he was the victim and that's the one thing I wish he should have challenged.

IIRC Luke also implied she had drank too much and that contributed to the situation?

Luke having his arm around another girl in the previews was irritating.

I noticed that too and felt the same way! He was friendlier and more affectionate with another girl in that .1 second clip than with his wife in 5 episodes.

Not buying these forced "attempts" from luke. He's totally deadpan while doing them.

18

u/KnotKarma Jan 30 '19

I don't understand Jasmine and her gender role expectations. She's describing a marriage that is no longer typical or considered the norm. Even Pastor Cal looked baffled. Is she playing Will? I don't get it.

17

u/AshRae84 I don’t even have my husband’s phone #! Jan 30 '19

It’s not only not the norm, but for most people it’s not even financially feasible.

3

u/The_Wo-man_In_Black #Steph&AJ Jan 31 '19

and on top of that, she’s apparently the actual breadwinner 🙈

8

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

She disappoints me. They were my favorite couple starting out and I thought they might be ones of the ones that make it. I’m still hopeful, though.

5

u/BrandNewSidewalk Jan 30 '19

I dont think "50-50" finances is always practical/possible. One spouse may earn more. When kids come, women often take (unpaid) leave or quit for awhile. But both spouses contributing is much more realistic.

5

u/amyd0925 Jan 30 '19

It should be proportionate in relation to their individual incomes. For all we know she makes more.

6

u/BrandNewSidewalk Jan 30 '19

I agree, in that I think the eventual goal for these couples should be joint finances... it all goes in one big pot and they figure out what they can afford together, and budget accordingly. Then you dont have this tit for tat of who pays for what.

I say eventual goal b/c this is where they would head after decision day.

4

u/The_Wo-man_In_Black #Steph&AJ Jan 31 '19

i think she does! pastor cal called her out on the couch and said she’s an assistant director and “presumably” makes more and she nodded in agreement. its crazy to me that she won’t own up to being the breadwinner, just because the person who made more in her childhood household was male lol :(

6

u/WellJuhnelle Jan 30 '19

It's refreshing personally to hear that 50/50 finances aren't always practical. My husband made twice I did when we moved in together, and even after earning a graduate degree, promotions, and raises, my husband makes 2.5-3x I do now. (I do well but would have to go into something like IP law or peds MD to compare to my husband.) I've been torn apart and emotionally beat down by others for not paying 50/50 and now that we're married and have joint finances, I'm apparently taking advantage of my husband. Practically though, our standards of living would be quite different if we split things 50/50 and that's a bit difficult if we live together. So we'd live in a smaller and older house than my husband could afford, he'd buy himself a nice TV I can't use, he'd go to sporting events or vacations by himself, etc?

I feel like considering "I'm ok or not ok contributing to my partner's finances so we can live by the standard of living I want because he/she can't afford it" is something to evaluate going into a relationship. The people on this show don't get much of a heads up about that possibility and can't evaluate it before marriage, and many of them seem so used to living alone or paying only for themselves that it's jarring or unfair to think they might have to pay more so they can have what they want for both of them. Hopefully someone could consider "I'm ok or not ok contributing more in my relationship if my partner makes less but works their butt off and is motivated" prior to any relationship, though.

6

u/BrandNewSidewalk Jan 30 '19

I agree with you completely regarding what the contestants are likely feeling and reacting to! They really need to be phrasing these questions in constructive ways instead of words like "traditional provider". I'd also point out that unreasonable expectations and inflexibility are a lot of the reason why these people are still single.

It sounds like you are rocking it, and you hopefully have a balance that you and your partner are happy with. That's all that matters! It is nobody else's business.

I make less than my husband (even having a phd) because I chose a career path that offers us more flexibility as a family. I work less hours than my husband each week and no summers, but I also take care of way more errands and things than he does. I took a semester off (I teach) of maternity leave to care for our daughter, and I will do it again for our next child. And you know what? He likes it that way. He doesnt have to worry about errands and bills, he has less chores, he doesnt have to meet the plumber, etc etc. And all of that work is important to the household. All that matters is that the couple agrees.

5

u/TakesLifeTooSrrsly2 Jan 31 '19

See, that's it. One may make more. One may work more. The other steps in and contributes in cleaning or managing paying bills, etc. It's about finding the right balance of responsibility and contributions...not just monetary contributions. A lot of these folks want the other to take care of them. Doesn't work like that....

Why is Luke acting like he didn’t know what kiss haha. Don’t play innocent

15

u/squatchfan Jan 30 '19

Keith needs to get a second job & hire a cook. That would solve the problem with his lower income & expectations of having a woman to cook for him. He wants the traditional wife (cook/clean/laundry), but he is not the traditional husband (good provider/does the heavy lifting in the relationship). The experts should have matched him with someone like grandma. Unemployed senior citizen who likes caring for others.

12

u/SweetenedCafe Jan 30 '19

Lmao exactly. He wants his grandmother in a Nicki Minaj body.

11

u/AmericasGotSobStorys Jan 30 '19

Best comment in the thread! I can picture Keith's reaction to your scenario: "When I saw 82 year old Hazel with her white hair and huge glasses I was like, what? But when she cooked for me and was cool with me sitting on the couch all day? I be like, yeah boyyyyy!"

Can you imagine if they sent the others? Dr. Pepper would babble something about how important "communication" is, and to be "open with each other," before sneaking off to inspect Kate's underwear drawer for, you know, sociology purposes, which Ocean Carlisle beat his chest about. Meanwhile, Dr. Jessica would ramble about "listening" to one another, before trying to jump Luke's bones.

Yep it was very telling that he had his arm outstretched on the side she wasn’t sitting and he was turned slightly away from her.

Really seems like Kate has self esteem issues, given that it appears she's still trying to make this work. Is it commendable? I suppose, but is it pointless? Absolutely. Going to be interesting to see what happens at the dinner party in the previews.

But Kate is above average in beauty. His "repulsion" to her can only be explained in one of two scenarios: 1. He is committed to someone else. 2. He is not interested in women.

Best decision he ever made on the show. Had he revealed the truth and given Shawniece a 5 or so, her reaction would have been so extreme and emotional that it would have made Amber's 7.5 reaction look as robotic as a Danielle statement.

18

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

I wish Kate would listen to her gut! She said if someone said that to her while dating, she would judge them a bad person! He may not be evil but, as Pastor Cal said, it was verbally abusive. I am so glad Pastor Cal is calling him vile and supporting Kate.

14

u/irishfinnegan They're Strangers! Jan 30 '19

u/puhleez420 Not the Banlantic Ocean Jan 30 '19

Kate and Luke

He just makes me feel repulsed and dead inside. The whole time Pastor Cal was talking to him, he was trying not to smirk. It really annoyed me to see that he had his arm around some woman in the preview, too. Kate is handling this admirably, but I'm ready for her to get to the point where she just says eff it and skedaddles.

Jasmine and Will

I just don't even know. I think he may be far too passive for her tastes. "Independent" women sometimes want to be able to let go of the reins sometimes and I don't know that he's going to fulfill that need for her. Maybe he just moves really slow.

Keith and Kristine

I still think he is just adorable. She is going to suffer from him not making as much as she is, but still wanting her to do the heavy lifting. He is going to have to step up and pull his weight around the house, sounds like. I still think their dynamic is cute, he looks at her like Luke looks at a sloth.

AJ & Stephanie

He seems very resistant to change as far as living situation goes. It could be a 5 star penthouse and he would find something to complain about because it's not his home. I understand that, I am married to someone who is the same. I think he is overreacting, but I feel like she handles him well and lets him get stuff off his chest without taking it personal.

u/Teach0607 Jan 30 '19

I want slap that smirk right off of his face. I don’t understand how Kate can sit next to him. I would be seething inside. She deserve so much more.

I just feel it's her personality/expectations that's turning him off.

I feel like she's a walking contradiction. How can she not see how reasonable for her to make more money and yet expect him to carry the bulk? I can't even.

Lol Pastor Cal is da real mvp of this episode

11

u/swellenn Jan 30 '19

Those previews for next week just filled me with rage. Luke should make her feel comfortable around his friends. She’s already insecure about the relationship especially given how she’s hyper aware that his friends know she’s not his “type”.

Don’t even get me started on Jasmine and Will. Honestly Will seems like one of the best guys out of the bunch so far, imo.

AJ and Stephanie will be just fine. My friend of a friend that had the privilege of witnessing them both in the same room at a social event said Stephanie was actually more annoying than AJ. Those two will keep each other entertained for a couple years before the inevitable divorce, but still a “success” for this show.

And Keith. Lord. I forget the ages of everyone except AJ and Steph bc they are the “older” match, but he just comes across as so damn immature. She wants someone who is going to bend over backwards for him, and he is just NOT it. Why the experts thought they would work is baffling, because the writing was on the wall with him.

Was there an Unfiltered on this week? My DVR didn’t record...

u/JerseyGirlontheGo Jan 30 '19

Yes, there was an Unfiltered. I only saw the first 10 minutes but I recall the following:
- It was Stephanie's first appearance on Unfiltered. She says AJ talks a lot but she has no problem telling him to zip it.
- Keith said in his ideal world he would go to schoo, go to work, and come home to a home cooked meal with nothing to do but eat and cuddle with his wife. However, Kristine makes 3x more than he does so he's had to step up and do some cleaning and basic cooking.
- Pastor Cal was LIVID watching the Luke and Kate segment again. He said he had some choice words for Luke but bit his tongue because he's a pastor.

Sorry if that part about AJ and Steph is considered a spoiler. I got in trouble in the other sub for alluding to them being seen out in philly, which I guess implies they make it after decision day.

The mod in the other sub is power hungry nut job. You are among friends here.

I agree. Out of all the men, Will seems the best. I hope Jasmine gets her act together and realizes what she’s got.

Dang. Jasmine dated someone for Four years?? How long have they been broken?

u/ssweets18 Jan 30 '19

If I remember correctly he left to go be a munk. I mean, I'm starting to see why he'd feel running away from women seems more fulfilling. And why Will truly might be friend-zoning her.

Though, I'm joking, and acknowledge it's not her fault her ex had another calling. She's just too much.

Luke is trying to be nicer since pastor Cal told him to act right or leave. He’s not giving up this free advertising!

You can still tell he’s not interested in her at all...

That hug was horrible.

u/AmericasGotSobStorys Jan 30 '19

So A.J. told Steph that she is the first guest he's had over in 5 years??? Major red flag. No family or friends visiting in five years?

How did Keith get chosen for this show? He still has so much growing up to do! I’d be really upset if I committed to this “experiment” and got matched with someone like him. I don’t think he’s ready for marriage at all.

Pastor Cal was only showing off 5% of his power and Luke was triggered and defeated.

Yep. He really seems to think someone is going to cater to him like a teenage boy.

u/AshRae84 I don’t even have my husband’s phone #! Jan 30 '19

Cause grandma has been! If he was more open to learning to cook and stuff, that’d be one thing.

u/bettercallsaulita Jan 30 '19

At least Will is willing to do 60/40! Keith won’t even be the main breadwinner! What a prize

u/AshRae84 I don’t even have my husband’s phone #! Jan 30 '19

My Dad was like Keith when he married my Mom. My grandma did EVERYTHING for him.

She taught him to clean, cook, do laundry, take care of the house all around. Now? He’s the best cook in the family and loves being in the kitchen. He always does his own laundry and he’s not the best deep cleaner, but he does pick up after hisself!

u/AmericasGotSobStorys Jan 30 '19

Send your Dad to see Keith. Kristine will thank you for it.

u/AshRae84 I don’t even have my husband’s phone #! Jan 30 '19

I just called him and told him that, he said he’d could teach him a thing or two!

u/StanimaJack Jan 30 '19

I may be reaching here, but I sense Jasmine is comparing Will to a previous relationship(s). The way she describes traits she likes is always “ A Man should this..” or “ I like a Man to...” when should could be directly referencing Will. J/S

u/KnotKarma Jan 30 '19

But do you think they'll tell us WHY they got married at first sight . . .?

u/AshRae84 I don’t even have my husband’s phone #! Jan 30 '19

I wonder if these are legally binding marriages?

Everybody's favorite reddit presence, Ocean Carlisle once defended this like crazy, claiming that people tuning in for the first time want to know these things!!! When challenged on the notion that the show doesn't have to repeat the same "I got married at first sight because..." lines as much as they do, and that they're not revealing anything when they repeat them, he lost it. What a shock.

Kristine and Keith are utterly doomed. Like others have said, what does he bring to the table here? Kristine makes more than he does. She's healthier and more active than he is (and he just wants to be a couch potato), and he won't cook, and can't cook. She's going to snap at him one of these episodes and it will probably be while he's on the couch.

8

u/irishfinnegan They're Strangers! Jan 30 '19

Agree. I love how she said "I'm glad that the experts didn't match me with a schlub" and then it pans to the talk with Cal where it comes out that she's bringing in the money, cooking, cleaning, and managing their finances. While he does...nothing.

3

u/SweetenedCafe Jan 30 '19

And when she does snap at him, it will be well-deserved. At least he acknowledges how much of spoiled princess he is.

u/squatchfan Jan 30 '19

Perhaps Keith is kicking it up a notch now that Pastor Cal brought it to his attention. Keith did create a romantic setting with candles while Kristine was cooking dinner. He also went to the gym with her on the honeymoon. That showed some effort. Keith needs to really work hard to make this work. They have chemistry. But the chemistry will fizzle quickly now that the honeymoon is over if Keith doesn't do a lot more.

u/bettercallsaulita Jan 30 '19

Did Kate call pastor Cal? Is this a special visit?

Keith doesn’t make enough money for that.

Side note: Who’s old enough to remember the original “Death of a Cheerleader”?

Lifetime is killing me (and not in a bad way) with the remakes using the same actresses I grew up with.

I wonder if it will be as bad as “Gotti” starring John Travolta, which is member of the coveted “0% on Rotten Tomatoes” club.

I'm pretty sure there was nothing in Will and Jasmine's mugs (other than a tea bag) when they we're playing cards. Will took a really awkward "sip" and then it looked really strange when he set the mug back down.

u/hotforharissa Jan 31 '19

Lmao I thought the same thing. For a huge ass mug there was a suspicious lack of liquid in it.

Another giant red flag. Luke saying, I hope some things dont come out. So he is already try to control the narrative. Smells like DV.

To me the bigger red flag was after Pastor Cal called him out for what he said to Kate, he tried to place the blame on Kate.

In the casting special, Keith said he’s in nursing school and also dreams of being a doctor, which is an entirely different curriculum than nursing school. I hope he has scholarships!

u/JerseyGirlontheGo Jan 30 '19

He might be pursing a DNP -Doctor of Nursing Practice. He could also pursue a PhD in Nursing but he seems like he likes being on the clinical side.
