Married At First Sight - Season 1 - General Discussion - **Spoilers**

Glad we get a reunion show!

Welcome mom22boys, thanks for sharing!

Cortney just posted on her twitter that "She loves Jason". (Which we saw her say on the spoiler clip for next weeks finale) but she is posting in present tense and adding smilies faces. I think they are so close to the end that they are getting a little more loose lipped.
It was also posted on a site that obviously one of Doug's family members didn't read the contract clause because she said that the two are still married, are very happy and would like to start planning a family.

**Edited **  Sorry link deleted due to previous spamming.

If you look in the recent pictures she is at Doug's brothers fiancee's bachelor party and you can see Doug's reflection in the mirror- as he is the one who took the picture.

Last but not least. My sister in law told me that Jamie has always been a nice and super sweet gal but in the last few months she is bubbly and has been on cloud nine. And she has been telling everyone at work that she can't wait to be able to tell everyone the outcome. AND she wears her wedding band at work.

Thank you for that. Now I really AM sure that what we saw was editing done for drama and to stir us up. Oh well, we've certainly had great discussions here. Can't wait until Tues night. Am glad I have Sat night's Hell in Wheels to get me through.

Awesome! Thank you!

Looking forward to it! Happy to hear that our favorite couples most likely will stay together AND are STILL doing well!!!!

To be honest, I think the participants did a rather poor job of keeping quiet. Stevie Wonder would know which couples are still together after all the instagram and facebook posts. to me its taken away most of the suspense as to what ultimately happened. Why would the producers allow them to post pics and tweet comments that all but guarantee the outcome. Seriously, is there anyone who DOESN'T believe Doug & Jamie and Jason and Cortney are still together. It sort of defeats the creative editing job they've been doing to try and keep us guessing.

As for Vaughn and Monet I know there's a lot of dislike for them as a couple and some of you even skip past their entire segments when you DVR the show. But IMO Vaughn & Monet are the most important couple on the show because they are experiencing the kind of real every day conflict that many couples face. To me Jamie and Cortney haven't really been challenged because they had instant chemistry. I know his Mom's health is an issue and so is their schedules but those issues don't have to do with THEM in the relationship. Jamie and Doug's issues have basically centered around her not digging him at first and her own issues about her upbringing. Vaughn and Monet's issues deal with communication, expectations, goals and personalities. I think provide an excellent lesson in what you have to do to try and make it work. Also about knowing what it is you TRULY desire in a mate and dealing with all that comes with it. Perhaps the kind of man Monet thought she wanted, an Alpha Male type, isn't going to work for her and it took this experiment for her to discover that.

Maybe Vaughn has learned that he may not be able to find a June Cleaver as I've mentioned before, but that he would be happy with a woman who has her own identity but still enjoys taking care of her man. A hybrid so to speak. All I know is I've learned much more from watching their conflict and the attempts to reconcile along with the experts help, than I have from the other two couples. Though I cannot hide my crush on Cortney. Not only is she a cutie pie, but her ultra-positive attitude and commitment to Jason and the marriage just leaves me wonderfully speechless sometimes. Plus I dig her Carolina country accent.

I really don't want to be kept guessing and be in suspense. It's not the point of the show. I've actually enjoyed it less as it's gone on because they seem to be focussing more on the outcome and will they/won't they and editing to cause suspicion. Luckily I'm already so invested in Courtney and Jason especially, and also Jamie and Doug, that I'm still really enjoying their special little moments when you can see the real feelings between them. I have the Bachelor/Bachelorette for fake mystery. On this show it really is about the journey, to be cheesy and not trying to keep us guessing on the ending, but showing how and why the couples get to that ending. IMHO.

I totally agree. I want to see this couples fall in love as it happened! The editing in the last couple of episodes has annoyed me, because they seem to focus on the negative stuff to throw us off. That's why I'm excited to hear they'll be showing us an hour of unseen footage! Hope it's all the good bits they've been holding out on.

^^ Yep, my sentiments as well.

I don't feel any of the couples are any more important than any of the others. They all have different issues and different circumstances (plus only what tptb show us). Vaughn & Monet had sex day 1 so I'd say they had instant chemistry also, they have NO problems in that area. Vaughn has high expectations and has said some mean things to Monet, imo, I'm a bit surprised how she's dealt with him, but good on her for sticking it out. I don't see them staying together, they just don't seem happy with the other, especially Vaughn. He wants his June Cleever like you say, good luck with him being happy with a hybrid.

Coutney is great, I agree! Love how they work on their relationship and try and be there for the other. Busy schedules, but their making it work and finding time to be together whenever they can. On the other hand, Vaughn can't wait to be gone from Monet and have his alone time.

I'd laugh (not really) if Vaughn and Monet were the ones that are still together and the other two aren't. Jamie's been on TB & TBP and knows how TPTB/Social Media work. So yes, it does seem rather "obvious" which couples are still together. But I'm still going with those 2 couples still together and V&M divorced.

relaxing-I agree!

just for the heck of it, here's a link regarding the reasons these marriages would have to divorce and can't be annulled. Don't know if anyone posted this earlier in the season or not. Just in case it wasn't....annullment laws

Lovedaddio you hit the nail on the head and sent it plumb through the cement wall...
