Married At First Sight - Season 3 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

relaxing wrote:It's really sad if David gets slammed so Ashley's family can defend Ashely.  They could defend the type of person they know her to be without bringing David into it.  There's no way despite David's imperfections that he is to blame for how Ashley handled this show. They seem to want to blame him for the fact that Ashely is so unliked by the public.   He's not to blame for her coming across to America like a cold, frigid, stick in the mud who can't smile or be kind or have a clue of how to relate to another person.  Maybe this reaction shows part of why Ashely is like she is.  I get being a quiet, slow moving introvert, but she is also mean, self-centred and seemingly without any self awareness IMO.  That probably comes from her upbringing not her temperament.

Great post! I totally agree.

It seems to me they are already slamming him. They act like they caught him in bed with a strange woman. I get the text could be seen as questionable but I don't think they can prove that he was looking for a hook up. Most people don't cheat just for the sake of cheating. A lot of times they cheat because their marriage isn't satisfying and their needs aren't being met. I'm not just talking about sexual needs emotional needs have to be met too. Ashley had no intentions of meeting him even halfway on anything. IMO. I've never been much of a Jamie Otis fan but even I will give her props for making an effort and not being a frigid beoytch like Ashley comes off as.

BTW, I can't resist pointing out the irony of the .sig under the post.

I don't know if this has been posted yet. Youtube video of David and Vanessa from FoxTV Entertainment News

Thanks happy. That was good. Vanessa is such a beauty. IDK I like David.

It's interesting that was uploaded in Nov/15.

In Touch Weekly is apparently going to have something in its next issue about the show.

There is a lot there -- the police report, the info that the Producers had the information in advance, including mug shot identifying him.

Read for yourself it you are interested in this pathetic show (she writes in a tone of self-loathing!)

I'm beginning to wonder what is wrong with Ashley. And, for sure, I think the screening process very much stepped on its ...um... necktie.

Rejecting physical contact in Autism is a myth...along with the 'feels no emotion'.  My son has Autism, my nephew has Aspergers--neither reject physical contact or feel nothing....both have been known to have outbursts in moments of high emotion.  Strong emotions send them into overdrive--they are already processing at least twice as much input as we are (it's just how they roll).  Sam, to me, exhibits some strong characteristics of someone on the spectrum.  She seems to use repetitive motions to comfort herself and living outside her home was horrendously difficult for her (she was also unwilling to rearrange her stuff to accommodate Neil's). Her obsessions with scents (people on the spectrum seek sensory input) and finances (logical problems) are also clues.  

Autism or not--she is a high functioning successful individual.  But, this possible dx could explain her relationship issues.

I think you nailed it.

Just have to share, each time I look here, I get a kick out of the fact that Ashley and David's section is by far the most posted in section. Vanessa and Tres only have 6 pages. I have no idea why that amuses me, but it does. Thanks to all of you who share what you find.

Agreed! Considering the fact that it was obvious Ashley and David never stood a chance and that Tres and Vanessa are the only couple with a genuine attraction toward one another. Crossing my fingers for them!

I think Ashely and David's thread is the most commented on because drama sells! Sam and Neil's thread picked up after the leak last week. Anyway, remembering back to season 2, Sean and Davina's thread was the longest forever until Ryan D went off the deep end, the Ryan and Jessica's thread caught up with Sean and Davina. There wasn't nearly as much drama for basement Ryan and Jacqui so their thread was similar to Tres and Vanessa. I'm assuming this is why the producers cast a train wreck or two....it would be beyond boring if it was all nice couples who get along without drama.

Final now on. I am edge. I hate commericals when the good parts are about to be shown the just come right there can I say that? lolol.
