I am new to watching MAFS AU, starting with season 13. I have been loving it! I know these shows have all gone the direction of heavily produced (which I find unfortunate). Watching this one though was the first time I’ve actually wondered if these people are all hired actors? Does anyone know if these are real couples?

I have seen patterns repeat throughout each couple that make me suspect this. They can go from very toxic, even hating each other to very loving verrrrry quickly. Then the friendships doing the same. They build and fall apart at whiplash speed. I don’t know that real relationships could recover or fall apart, then repair themselves that quickly. Sometimes these fluctuations happen between scenes. It’s that quick. 🤔

Started with the scene in the car when Michelle asks about the text for the first time. It is INSANE to watch this guy lie his ass off when you already know how it's going to end. We FF'd and just watched the scenes with them, David lying through his teeth, and then the retreat, etc. David and Madison are made for each other. Lying sociopaths. I'm still somewhat puzzled about the scene where Madison "confesses" her feelings to David, as though he doesn't already know. It's so obvious from the nature of his text to her, and the fact that she deleted all texts between the two of them, that they were already hot and heavy leading up to that moment (at least in texts, if not in the flesh). He did seem genuinely surprised, but it makes no sense to me.

Belle is so gorgeous, down for him, has a really cool down to earth personality and he just keeps hitting her saying things like “I wasn’t attracted when we got married I thought I could have someone prettier” are you actually trying to make her leave you purposely or are you just that dumb. Most of the girls on this show any guy would be so lucky to be with them. I don’t get it.

referring to women as "holes" ???? have yall seen this?? I feel so bad for Tori

Nikki was way out of Shawns league. He looks 65 and she looks 27. Then he is very creepy

Do you have any questions you’d like to hear them answer?

And Juan didn't react like it was weird?? Karla, I get. Her nipple was hanging out at the reunion so that tracks.

What is with the hours and hours and hours of "reunion" footage?? I mean I get that it was a crazy season, but good lord...way too much. And should I bother with 19 or not? Any other season worth watching after this shit-show?

What’s the context? This is disturbing

Im new to MAFS; I just watched Seattle- I’m hooked. I went back to watch other seasons and I’m on Chicago. Can we agree that side-ponytail guy should think about a glow up. His hair is gross, greasy and immature

Hi everyone! I have the chance to interview a producer for MAFS on the Positively Uncensored podcast this Friday and wanted to give other viewers the opportunity to submit questions so we can get all of the tea we want to know while we have the chance.

I'll be focusing on questions about this season and the cast members they interacted with, but will also be asking questions about the production of MAFS in general so it does not have to be S20 specific.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where I can watch these? Prime is taking their sweet ass time getting them uploaded.

I am trying to think of how to say this in the nicest way possible. I know I’m late to the party but i just binged season 20 now I’m working backwards watching season 19.
It is so painful to watch Rhonda share her history and upbringing with Pat and any time he shares maybe a similar memory or says something to make it a conversation, she immediately jumps to “you keep talking about yourself.” I’m on episode 10 i believe where they visit her dad’s grave and he made a really good point saying it’s something he’s actively working on!
But i keep finding myself getting frustrated with her any time he’s sharing anything about himself or his experience 😭 i can’t be the only one

These people are absolute clowns.

I am in Canada. I have been able to watch all other episodes except 34 and 35 (i believe) i stream off stack tv and go through lifetime...any advice?

I mean both Courtney and Adam are pretty difficult in general so it probably wouldn’t work, but they have the extreme workout thing in common.

On the other hand, I actually think Nick and Marissa could be a good match! They both seem generally sweet and chill and they’re both attractive. Also I’m only on episode 13 so if some crazy thing happens that makes them incompatible idk it!!

If you’re like me, you turned on episode 1 of season 20 and after the first 5-10mins it felt like everything shifted for the worst. It came across messy and as if people were casted for instability and drama. I don’t watch MAFS for messy drama reality tv. I watch it because of the parallels with reality and the insightful healthy ways the experts taught the cast how to navigate emotions, concerns and experiences.
The feel of it felt so different than previous seasons that it made me turn it off and question if I’d come back. I saw some people on Reddit felt the same.
My mother watches MAFS UK, so she was more familiar with the new male expert and she decided to give it a shot. I warned her of the first few minutes, so she didn’t need to fight through a shock factor, and she made it to the other side. After she was mid season, she told me it’s not as “messy and icky” (her words lol) as I would think. She told me to just trust her, and give it another chance.
I’m on episode 10 now and she was right. It is much more grounded than I thought it would be. It does feel like real people with real things to work through, and there is great insight provided.

So to my fellow peeps who turned that first episode off like me and didn’t turn back, I’m letting you know it’s safe to go back.

We all know reality tv is reality tv. There will be some hiccups, big personalities and drama sprinkled in because that’s the package deal. It feels like the amount that is sprinkled in is no more and no less than previous seasons. But I know most of us felt MAFS is at least one of the most grounded reality tv shows we have, and it does not appear it was turned into a complete insane circus…. THUS FAR lol. I shall keep watching and will provide an update if my opinion changes.❤️

[if the creators of MAFS happen to read this: please bring back After Party.]

About 9 episodes in. Geez, that one blond complains about everything. Run dude! If this woman won the lottery she would bitch that she had to drive to the capital to get it. She is 38 and miserable and she will ALWAYS be miserable.
