The penultimate episode before Decision Day, the couples go on their final dates and hang out with each other to see where their heads are at regarding their final decision. We mention here and there who we think says no. We try to define what support means according to Shaq and we talk about that bizarre scene where a group of  men come on to the wives.

The couples are back so it's time to talk nonstop about decision day. They claim they are still undecided and Dr. Pepper and Pastor Cal make a surprising appearance to save Gina and Clint. We try unsuccessfully to guess how many episodes we have left for the season and discuss the many cringe scenes we had to watch. As always we share updates from the past MAFS participants. Don't forget t...

We're still in Gatlinburg! and nothing new is happening. The couples are still having the same conversations but find time for lumberjacking and we talk all about it. We also share updates on past MAFS participants including Beth and Jamie breakup.

The couples are at the retreat and the husbands compete in a pageant. While the couples have fun they still struggle with the same problems as decision day looms over their heads. We discuss their indecisions, Ade shares a theory about the couples pushing through and we give some show recommendations.

We're counting up to Decision Day and all the experts (except Dr. Pia) stop by to say hello. We are trying to understand why these adults have such a hard time expressing themselves to their partners. We chit chat on how the vibes were once again low, if an expert refresh would do the show some good and did Kirsten get on our good side? Don't forget that there will be an Afterparty recap a...

Looks like we got another filler episode here. Dr. Pia stops by and tries to help the couples with their intimacy. We give props to Dr. Pia knowing her stuff and asking the right questions and ponder if we know anything about Gina - is she private or is it because she doesn't like Clint. Also, Ade shares her turn around on Clint. As always, there is a MAFS update on past couples and we answer...

The couples go back to their past and share their childhood. We discuss how the season seems to be joyless and the couples don't seem to be having fun.

Ally joins Ade while Tayne is out! We discuss the focus on feelings, vulnerability and share our opinion on Dr. Pepper's visits with all the couples. We learn new things about the cast, and rejoice that Shaq and Kirsten are moving in a good direction. As usual, Nicole and Chris make us hopeful, Jasmine and Airris frustrate, and Gina and Clint are here to make friends.  Our Sponsors: * Check ou...

One month anniversaries. Cute dates but not much growth with same problems. We go through all these couples as they go on their individual dates and their group dinner.

It's the episode where they try to force the couples to fall in love except that that's an uphill battle this season. The couples had nice little dates that to the ordinary eye would seem promising but we know better, these couples are dunzo. We discuss the Vanderpump rules scandal, upcoming Love is Blind season and as always share the going ons with past couples. Don't forget on Monda...

One couple exits the experiment early. Friends and family stop by and the couples have a potluck to discuss the state of affairs of their marriage. We discuss the split and whether we think age plays a part, how we don't think Chris is a pushover and wonder if a slight change in MAFS where the couples get to pick their spouse, could work? Don't forget on Monday, you can find a MAFS Afterpa...

It's supposed to be moving in day but most of these couples missed the memo as we have some people not wanting to move in. Pastor Cal pays a visit and does his best to straighten them out. We mourn the fact that slender/ginger-gate is truly never going to end. We wonder if Chris's 9 month lease idea signifies anything and was that Kirsten's real apartment? We also give some good docume...

The couples wrap up their honeymoon but not without some mess as they play the ratings game. They head home and move into their new homes as cracks begin to widen among the couples. We hope Slender/Ginger-y gate has finally been put to bed. We continue to wonder about Airris. We don't understand why Mac didn't reassure Dom and we wonder why we are finding out relevant scenes on Afterparty....

Happy Valentine's Day! We had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Pepper and Dr. Jessica about their new book Relationship RX: Prescriptions for Lasting Love and Deeper Connections. We ask them questions about the book and they share about their backgrounds and everything that inspired the book. The interview continues in a separate conversation, where we ask them questions about the show, so loo...

So much to talk about on this episode as we continue to watch couples who are not attracted to each other! We break down slender-gate and why the ladies had a strong reaction. We wonder what the right way to handle not being attracted to your spouse is and also why the experts just don't match people with their type! We also speak on the past couples and the many updates that they have. Join t...

The couples start their honeymoon and start delving deeper. We talk about how rude Gina's comment to Clint was. We also talk about how we have someone every season who has never been in love. Chris and Nicole are trucking along except the issue of kids and we can't tell where Kirsten stands.

Mandy Slutsker from Is This Real Life? joins Ade to discuss the couples wedding nights, family brunches and heading out to the honeymoon... or going to Jackson, MS. As a first time watcher Mandy lets us know what she thinks of our couples and the process of being Married at First Sight.  Join the conversation on Twitter and Instagram - @altarcallmafs Our Sponsors: * Check out Kensington Publishing...

All the weddings are done and all the couples seem happy. We raise eyebrows at some of the family and friends and we give praise to others. The jury is still out on Airris. Is he here to play or here to stay?

We get some weddings - but not all. Everyone has an asterisk besides their union except Chris and Nicole who seem to get off on a good start. We talk about how it's not just mismatches now and how producers seem to be setting couples up for failure. We can't get over casting a couple that live in the same building! We also share again how unnecessary we find the dress/tux shopping segments...

We recap the new season in Nashville and meet the new couples. We discuss the selection process and how people don't seem ready for marriage, how there seem to be more transplants and how we didn't get to see a wedding.

On this episode oldie, we unlock our recap of the Netflix documentary, Bad Vegan. We share our thoughts on why we didn't understand the point of the doc and how it had many holes.
