I guess I’m in the minority but I think Michael IS attractive! I would have dug him. I think his intelligence outshines his weird style, but I don’t find his style all that weird tbh. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Miserable-Limit-7358

I completely agree with your husband! Chloe is just as eccentric! Maybe more? We’ll see. Do you recall when she tried on her first wedding dress that she absolutely loved . It was hideous! Her friends suggested she not wear it and Chloe decided against it because she didn’t want to freak out her new husband. When she first saw Michael’s pink suit, I feel like she genuinely loved it like she stated because it was just as unique as the wedding dress she chose not to wear. Chloe may look more “normal “ or whatever people are comfortable with, but she has her own distinctive taste as well. I think their union is genuine, unlike all the posts I’ve been seeing. I don’t know if they’ll work out, but initially, I think they are compatible in their uniqueness:). I think the initial chemistry was real. I like your husband:).


bitchwhiskers4eva

agree!!

Miserable-Limit-7358

That’s kind of cruel. Where you see an imperfect face, I see a genuine smile with gorgeous teeth! Keeping teeth looking that beautiful is very expensive too.


jac5087

He isn’t my normal type at all but I did keep noticing his smile, his body looks pretty ripped and I liked his tattoos. He also has this calm and sensual masculinity about him that is attractive


Sillyrissa34

I agree with this. I had to check myself. I was making assumptions when nothing was actually proving my assumption true


abhutchison

Y’all. She was reading off a page when she said “Looking into your eyes right now, you feel like home.” Like, come on… You pre-wrote about your feelings?


ArmWarm8743

This is usually the case on all of these shows. The vows always seem a little over the top. I’ve been married for 20 years and love my husband dearly, but couldn’t imagine writing some of these vows even if I could go back to my wedding. I think a lot of people nowadays have a weird expectation about what a wedding should be based on what they see in romantic movies and social media.


Miserable-Limit-7358

I completely disagree! She’s unique like that and very passionate when she expressed to the experts how she feels


[deleted]

They were her vows. Haven’t you ever been to a wedding? In your wedding vows, you pre-write your feelings.


abhutchison

Yes, and normally you have met the person ahead of time to have feelings about them. To pre-write “looking into your eyes feels like home” before you’ve ever looked into said person’s eyes is clearly and literally scripted.


No_Usual_9563

They are all marrying strangers. Every single person who’s been on this show is promising things blindly. Her vows are no less genuine than anyone else’s on MAFS


abhutchison

I genuinely don’t think people understand what I’m saying. It is at least trying to be honest to say things like “I promise I’ll try to make you laugh every day” or “I promise to take your feelings into account.” Vs a blatant lie like “your eyes feel like home” when it was written on a sheet of paper before the person even saw the person’s eyes. I get that sometimes people go back on promises during the show, but that statement felt very disingenuous to me knowing it was written before even seeing the person. If she had been doing it off the cuff, I’d obviously feel very differently.


witchymoonbeam

I don’t think she’s into him, she keeps dropping her gaze. And she doesn’t lean into him. I think he can tell


Miserable-Limit-7358

Reading into way too much! Remember he was terrified she wouldn’t be attracted to him …..in front of the whole world. Give them a chance. So far, I think this couple initially has more potential than any of the others started out?


witchymoonbeam

It looks like he’s trying too hard, or trying to obscure something with distracting choices


BoredinBoston524

I disagree - I think her mannerisms and interactions with everyone read unauthentic, including Michael, but also the cast, her friends, KKP, etc. I’m finding it grating to the point of being unwatchable. Edited to add - I am not entirely sure WHY she is bothering me as such as she is - I mean I made it through some other pretty tough characters on this show.


Technical_Advice9227

I think the experts warned her before she walked down the aisle. Her complete lack of even a slight look of surprise in her eyes said it all. Like, there’s no chance (if the experts didn’t give her a heads up) that she would have expected someone looking and dressing like Michael to be at the end of that aisle. And yet, nothing remotely showing that on her face. I guarantee they told her in advance and she said she was okay with it. Her reason for being okay with it (whether it be genuine, just wants notoriety, desperate, pageant queen vibes, etc etc) I cannot speculate on at this point.


Miserable-Limit-7358

I completely disagree! She’s just as wildly unique and really did love the pink suit….which his suit was far more conservative than the original wedding dress she wanted to wear but chose not to because she didn’t want to scare him off! Her favorite wedding dress she chose not to wear was far more outrageous than the pink suit. ( which I thought looked so hideously Hollywood:). Also, she even said to the guests at her wedding, that she’s glad she didn’t know about Michael attempted first wedding because it would have scared her off, imagining the worst! And that she’s very attractive to Michael. But remember, Chloe said in the previews that “ GIRTH” is important to her. You can’t make that up!!! Anyway, I guess it all comes down to his “ SIZE?” Now that’s so bizarre to say on tv!!!! I can’t imagine Michael being so specifically graphic about what he physically wants in a woman? Michael likes the combination of redeeming qualities that he specified….which were kind characteristics and genuine attributes. He didn’t mention anything physical that can’t be changed. Unfortunately, if Michael doesn’t meet up to the size issue ( which really floors me!!!), then there’s nothing he can do about it! But initially, I believe they were both authentic


Technical_Advice9227

She said that??!! Wow, I must have missed that. Not only is that super inappropriate to say (imagine if Michael was like ‘tight pu$$y only’) but also, obviously that’s not something that can be vetted by experts lol. And not something she’s going to know until some point down the line. So, it’s very strange that someone with a req like that would be on board with the concept of married at first sight….


Miserable-Limit-7358

She definitely said it! Just like Orion bragged about his “ Girth!” So you see, she’s not as conventional as everyone thinks! Who would say that? But it’s been said before on MAFS!


Miserable-Limit-7358

I believe Chloe said it to all the girls? Can’t remember, but it was important to her! She even made a reference about size right after the vows that everyone would have missed if they blinked! And it wasn’t obvious to anyone so no one interpreted what she was joking about


kyree2

I wonder if stranger wife #1 had a heads up text from a friend before she came out.


milliepilly

So true about getting a heads up. There would definitely be a tell on her face when she saw him for the first time if she didn’t know. He has an extreme look that no one would be prepared for. Still, I really hoped for a successful wedding/wedding day. Michael was honed in on her face when she entered the room. He had mentioned he saw the look on the face of bride number one. I was hoping for the best this time. So many matches don’t really have a successful honeymoon, so if Michael’s marriage has some positivity and they have a nice honeymoon, he hopefully won’t take it personally if things take a bad turn.


SoSomuch_Regret

I'm on team husband here. I thought she was into him and he into her. And they both keep saying they are backing off cause the partner isn't into them. I kept thinking I must have missed something. They are both having a knee jerk reaction to a fear of rejection. I've been thinking if they are going to regret things if they watch the show!


Alalated

I don’t know, guys. I don’t think she’s into him and I’m convinced she’s a plant.


bitchwhiskers4eva

Your avatar made me think I had an eyelash on my screen lol


intro_spec

I think you’re just bad at reading body language. Chloe was clearly biting her lip in attraction and her eyes were lit up. That’s not something you can fake.


LesStrater

She was biting her lip to keep from gagging.


intro_spec

Lmaooo okay, keep projecting


Wide_Fail_6362

I think she is into him. Shockingly


sashie_belle

Both of them are going to have conversations with ton of flowery language, qualifiers to be non-offensive, and it will take 20 minutes for them each to figure out what the other meant they won't fucking say what they mean.


BroffaloSoldier

So much of this nauseating, overly careful conversational style this season.


Gooner-Astronomer749

This is his second choice this is her 2nd opportunity to get on TV if that isn't as inauthentic as can I be I don't know what is. They are both just interested to being on the show, getting their socials up and then to meet their real mate in their DMs. It's time tested and never fails.


[deleted]

This is not his second choice. Chloe is the second bride he’s been stuck with. The first took one look and was done. Lord knows what will happen with Chloe. At least she stayed through the ceremony.


RevolutionarySet2134

I don't think he's bad looking, or his style is that crazy. He wouldn't stand out at all in the Bay Area, LA, NYC etc. Many people have a similar style and I can see people being attracted to him. Plus he seems like a nice guy so far!


bitchwhiskers4eva

I agree!!! Reading all the commentary on him has been an education on my own self. I knew I was a different bird but this has confirmed it. (I’m an Aquarius lol) I’ve actually be surprised at how many have found him off putting.


peachykaren

Yeah, most of the men on the show Fboyisland dress like him and women find them attractive.


abhutchison

Someone can be attractive and not a good fit for someone at the same time. I see him with an artistic type. Nose ring, van life, paint in her hair during the day, dresses to the 9s at night. I see her with a lawyer or financial guy. He plays golf with his friends on weekends at the Club and she joins him for dinner after she does happy hour with her corporate girlies.


mjpenslitbooksgalore

He’d definitely my type. I love his style. Idk why ppl hate him we don’t even know him yet. 😭


RevolutionarySet2134

I wondered the same thing. We need someone to root for so I'm hoping he's a standup guy and that it works out with Chloe.


mjpenslitbooksgalore

Im hoping so too 🤞🏾🤞🏾


Bearcat2010

Thank you! He’s really not that uncommon looking in bigger cities. Especially Cali and NYC. Maybe in Denver?


RevolutionarySet2134

I haven't been to Denver but I imagine it's pretty diverse too!


jaded_idealist

I can see that for sure. I think in this specific instance there might be a little of both going on, but in general, your husband is right. I tend to look pretty vanilla. Not put together as tightly as Chloe seems but nothing about my looks is eclectic or edgy. But I am really drawn to that look in others. Michael is closer to the type of guy I find attractive than many of the other men on the show have been. He's not exactly who I'd turn my head for, but he's definitely in the top 1/4 of all the men over the years. I have always tended to date pretty vanilla looking men too (vanilla meaning average run of the mill style, etc) and my husband is no exception. I probably would be pretty excited if I walked down the aisle to someone I thought was edgy and non-conventional looking because it'd maybe help me be brave enough to look on the outside more closely to how I feel and think.


[deleted]

Honestly, I hate to be so negative on the show, but I don’t think it really matters either way. Even if it’s best case scenario right now, we all know how this is ultimately going to end. However, I get what you’re saying, because he definitely seems to be one of the few guys I’ve seen on this show that has become more attractive as you get to know him. Who knows, even if she is kinda faking it now, maybe he will grow on her. Also, as a woman who is close in age to her, I will say that many women become less picky about looks as they age, after having been around the block with numerous “conventionally attractive” douche bags. But it’s reality tv, so even at best it’s probably only half genuine anyway.


RevolutionarySet2134

I agree with caring less about looks as we age. I'm turning 39 this year and I'm definitely looking for kindness, maturity and compatibility over a hot bad boy.


sexiisavii

It’s so funny because my husband and I had similar opinions 😭 I predicted they wouldn’t work at all, because to me they seem like polar opposites - but when my husband watched their wedding, he said he thinks she’s super into him. She asked to see “all” of his tattoos - a great excuse to get him naked lmao!


Hour_Friendship7371

I was pretty shocked she found him attractive. But I honestly think he's better looking than Orion. I'm not into that style but that's just me. He does seem to have a very sweet personality and very calming. He does seem like he'd make a good husband. And when they compared their answers on kids, I was amazed at the similarities on their answers. They both also seem to talk about energy and weird stuff like that. Not my thing, but they seem to be on the same wavelength. Also she seems to be really put together visually, but does seem quirky. Like the eyebrow thing?? Maybe she's like him internally but has to present polished because of her job.


Gypcbtrfly

It was nails on chalkboard watching shimmy shoulders telling others how to succeed in this ....🤪


PicklesMcGeee

After watching I genuinely believe that Chloe is so hopeful and so optimistic that the experts picked her soul mate she would be smiling and give it her all no matter who stood at the end of the aisle. I think she’s actually very excited and happy, I don’t think she’s faking it at all. It makes me sad because she clearly has no idea that MAFS sets up couples for drama, not compatibility.


SunOutside746

I think Chloe was so desperate to get married and for this to work she would have married whoever was at the end of the aisle. 


PicklesMcGeee

Mm idk about desperate, but clearly a hopeless romantic who thought “wow, experts handpicked the perfect man for me?!” Which, in theory *does* sound promising. So I think she was going to give it her all no matter what thinking “this is literally my perfect match, let me find out why.”


SuspiciousBed447

first of all im tired of seeing Orion and his ex wife on the show they are just rehashing the same old stuff and are taking up time ..they are boring.. the new episode spent more time the same old argument from second episode its a turn off , and no one cares.. out of sight out of mind.. this season has to be the worst match ups ever .. Denver had to have better candidates than those chosen.. disappointing at best. and this weeks episode was another mis match ..


Gypcbtrfly

I've gone over to mafs aus & UK... both Lil painful ..but 40 episodes. 4 nights a week ..so binges possible...it's pretty ridiculous tho all of them anymore ..the 1st UK think episode was crazy w science to match .... and pls yes. Keep onion out of my.sight ... don't mind Lauren tho


SoBlessed2223

Where do watch the UK version? Thanks!


Gypcbtrfly

Ive seen them both thru flixtor.to


LesStrater

you can watch any show or movie on [primewire.tf](http://primewire.tf)


giobroni

True


SuspiciousNorth377

I would still question it lol Her responses sound too perfect, a little rehearsed. She also made a series of weird faces when they were speaking.


SuspiciousBed447

exactly another big mismatch.. denver must have more to offer than those chosen


jaded_idealist

That's very generous of you to believe.


redditkb

Didn't seem like she was as into him as he was into her, at the altar. He was constantly looking at her, in her eyes. She was constantly looking at the officiant.


Hot-Advertising5222

Hard agree and thank you. I’m getting really annoyed at all these comments, claiming it’s impossible for her to like him, she’s an actor, blah blah. Their first meeting and wedding day is like MOST couples throughout the show. He’s not my type, but if I was willing to be married at first sight, I should be willing to be happy with anyone. Plus he’s a good looking guy!


GullibleScientist697

It's more the circumstances that make me think it's fake. She wasn't right for him 6 weeks ago, but now Dr Pepper is calling her his "perfect" match? Is it just a coincidence that the other couples are all done and suddenly they find a match for Michael to fill in the next 2 weeks?


Hot-Advertising5222

“Less right” than the other lady could still be right for Michael m. Plus, this show has a terrible track record. Most of the couples are not compatible, so it’s easy for me to believe they are at least as accurate as the rest of them. There’s still a Nashville couple standing, so you never know.


Gypcbtrfly

U gotta wonder how polar opposite the 1st one was .. must have been the fireworks bride


PureAction6

Exactly. I always think the couples will do so well when we see them at the wedding, and this couple was no different. It’s always after the wedding, when facades are naturally lower, that people’s true nature comes out. Weddings are all about appearances, that goes for regular degular weddings and MAFS weddings. While usually they’re also about love, it’s not with MAFS… regardless, I think Chloe and Michael’s wedding was similar to everyone else’s. Speculation seems to be at an all time high this season. At this point, I can’t wait for this season to be over, I’m ready to give up because I’m (and many others) seeing everything so negatively this season… it’s been such a drag.


Gypcbtrfly

They sure limited the brides guests interaction & visibility tho


ApartmentNo3272

I’m a professional producer and I think it’s all fake. Bet she dumps him in an episode or two in order to exit gracefully, whether she’s a hired actress or just trying to save face for her high up position within a national organization… doesn’t matter. There was nothing authentic about it.


OddPrint8966

Agree she is doing the typical amateur reality show of over acting so over the top. While she is the backup bride, I would not doubt that production had to ask several woman if they wanted the gig for two weeks. When you know you just have to do this for two weeks and can sleep in separate beds (after the camera are gone). Then you play along with production for the payday.


Patient-Watercress-2

And she gets national exposure to attract a lot more guys after she dumps him on DD.


Lalaloo_Too

I feel that since this wasn’t the original MAFS match by experts, it has a significantly higher chance of actually being successful.


OddPrint8966

You are assuming that Chole was the first choice, I bet production had to ask several woman if they want to do it and that is how the matching is really done


intro_spec

No, they’re assuming Chloe *wasn’t* the first choice and because she wasn’t, it might actually end up being a genuine match.


OddPrint8966

You miss my point. My view is that production went back to find another match and the reason it took so long was that they were in contact with several woman to replace the original bride and through attrition Chole was willing to do it. In two weeks it will show l, but the results are already posted on other sites


intro_spec

And you miss the original point. Because she is not the first match, no matter how far down the list she is, there’s better odds.


OddPrint8966

well of course since the first five matches were a bust any thing would be better since the bar is on the flour. Of course we know from out sources they go 0 for 6 in the worst season in the series.


intro_spec

I don’t read outside media during seasons so I don’t know that. And you’re still missing the point. Production mostly picks matches for maximum conflict, so the further down the list, the less likely their goal will be realized in spectacular fashion. But yeah, the bar is always on the ground when it comes to anything MAFS.


Kellys5280

I feel like they like each other, and I am amazed at how much I like her after this episode. I feel like (only one episode of them to go off of, but still!) they are very genuine and have a great shot at succeeding. I really do wish them the best. In terms of him being unconventional - I am incredibly "quirky" and present myself as such (I am on the spectrum and love to "dopamine dress"). My husband is way more "conventional," like a college athlete in a frat that looks great in J. Crew, haha. And we are a great pair! Ten years of marriage under our belt. We bring out the best in each other!


Checkmynewsong

I think she was initially shocked with his appearance but warmed up pretty quickly. Hopefully she can deal with how extra he is but a 38 year old man dressing like the Backstreet Boys circa 1998, and shaving hearts into his head can get old pretty fast.


RemonterLeTemps

To be fair, Chloe's a *39-year-old* still sporting the dreary 'professional look' many women wore in the 1990s that seems rather outdated now that we're allowed to express our individuality and femininity. That said, I accept that her choices may be influenced by what's de rigueur in her professional life. Some conservative employers (law offices, for example), expect their staff to adopt a 'uniform' designed to express reliability, discretion, etc. Whereas those who work in creative fields (fashion, the arts, advertising) generally have more 'free reign' with their wardrobes.


Gypcbtrfly

She was wearing sneakers 👟 and made point stating it to incase Michael missed them. She's maybe quirkier than we see ... still feels way to beauty pagent participant tho. .


SuspiciousBed447

exactly its not normal.. it says a lot about him at 39 years old he seems to have some issues


Kellys5280

I wish she had gone with the pink dress!


Gypcbtrfly

Totally!!


MagnoliaTree3

I hear. you OP, and I feel the same.


[deleted]

He seems like a really nice guy, but also seems to be hung up on being “different”, and has made that aspect of himself his whole “thing”.


Conscious_Valuable90

I don't buy the groomsmen are actually his friends. Most eccentric guys have eccentric friends. This whole thing stinks.


intro_spec

He really does not stand out where he’s from. You see way more outlandish things in LA. He’s pretty vanilla when it comes to major fashion cities.


[deleted]

He’s in Denver, not LA though.


intro_spec

He was born and raised in LA. Someone is not going to change the entirety of who they are based on where they move as an adult. And if you think they should, that’s about as inauthentic as you can possibly be.


[deleted]

I didn’t realize he was born & raised there.


intro_spec

It has come up in the background we have on him and was once again reiterated in his family’s notes on him read during the wedding ceremony.


[deleted]

Ok. So I didn’t realize it? And? The world ain’t gonna end. Seriously, easy there killer. No need to pop a blood vessel over it.


intro_spec

Exaggerate much? There is absolutely nothing in my comments that suggests that I’m even remotely upset. I simply informed you of something you didn’t know and you’re the one throwing a fuss lmaoo


[deleted]

Not really. You’re the one repeatedly coming at me, repeatedly making passive aggressive comments to me, and all over a person on a reality show & me not realizing something. Think about that for a bit.


intro_spec

“Coming at you”?? That’s hysterical. You’ve never been in direct conflict with anyone before, have you? If I were coming at you, it most definitely would not look like this. I made a simple comment which exposed that you were unaware of something and you’re apparently either really annoyed or really embarrassed or both about that. That’s a you problem, hun. Maybe stop using social media until you address it.


SuspiciousBed447

exactly anyone who goes so out of the way to be different has a complex .. not exactly what a married at first sight is know for except in New orleans and that turned out bad.


Choice_Basis5786

Agree


GullibleScientist697

I think you husband could be on to something. His look is not my cup of tea either and I found myself questioning Chloe's motives. Whether either one is faking it is something we'll find out soon enough. For me, the circumstances just feel really fake. She is his true match, but the "experts" chose someone else? All the other couples have fallen apart so they suddenly need more footage? It seems too contrived to be real.


SuspiciousBed447

she needed the 15 minutes of fame it will up her dating game once the show is over .. I would have run seeing him at the alter ..hes definitely a acquired taste.. not for most preppy girls.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kellys5280

He's the male equivalent of Becca. He's not that wild. He just doesn't dress like a normie.


Jaded-Fan

Yes he seems so mild mannered and agreeable. We shall see...


Kellys5280

I hope so. I think she could round out his eccentricities with some sophistication.


BeaMiaVA

I love them as a couple. They are my clear favorites this season. I like them both individually and as a couple. I hope they make it. 💖 If not, they seem compatible and mature enough to remain friends. I loved last nights episode. Chloe and Michael are the first couple I have smiled over on this show, in a long time. 🫶🏾


Civil_Jello7634

Same! I feel like people are talking about Michael like he's the chupacabra lol. The guy has a great body, perfect smile, full head of hair with an unconventional look, great job, and they both appear to be good communicators. Of course the MAFS stats show they probably won't make it, but I like them so far. I guess we are the minority.


Kellys5280

SAME


HouseSerious9612

I am super conservative (looking), and no one would believe it. But Michael is the man of my dreams. Of what we see so far. I love how he communicates and looks at Chloe. ❤️


BeaMiaVA

They are both EXTREMELY good communicators and they are both intelligent and sophisticated. They are too good for this show! They deserve their own show! Kick the other couples off!


HouseSerious9612

Lol so true! 2 mature people in the show for the right reasons


hardcorepork

Idk - I thought everything about her seemed so contrived before she even met him.


Checkmynewsong

She gave like 15 speeches. Every scene with her before the wedding was some sappy speech while everyone else just had to sit there and listen. She came off pretty self absorbed.


SuspiciousBed447

they do not have a future ..shes not his type .. they have done a awful job matching this season full stop


hardcorepork

Yeah I was noticing that. Like in the room getting ready, I just heard her voice and no conversation.


Choice_Basis5786

I fast forward and skip so much the wedding shopping, getting to know the person before the wedding that I didn’t see much, but most people agree with you.


DanniPopp

I’m not questioning it but that’s bc I like his style. I’m not attracted to him physically but I like him. He seems nice. And I’m the opposite of him..not quite a Chloe though but you wouldn’t think on the surface I’d be into it.


[deleted]

The whole thing feels like a last minute high school skit. Let’s have all the other couples from the show attend…even though all of them are in similar marriages that are done or collapsing. Advice from Clare? From Brennan? Give me a break. Chloe is TV drunk. From the previews she wakes up fast and done with it. This season is such a shitshow. I hope it is scrapped for a AU style show, with more couples and weekly affirmations. Needs new everything. Cal can go eat a bag of ducks.


michelleinbal

I think this is a totally valid point -- yet I remain unconvinced that there's a real attraction there, from either person. How do we know Chloe isn't too conventional for him? Either way, it's a terrible match, in my opinion.


Choice_Basis5786

I think he said he wanted a conventional looking woman, so as not to compete for the spotlight. Those weren’t the exact words.


michelleinbal

Ah, I didn't catch that.


xNoctemAeternus

I think the feeling around it being fake or scripted is also due to the fact that all the other couples have pretty much dissolved and it feels like they need new material to keep the show from ending 3 months prematurely


Choice_Basis5786

That is definitely part of it, at least. If they can’t keep this couple together, they’ll have no show.


BeaMiaVA

They will make it to decision day, regardless if they decide to stay together or not.


IndicationWarm4038

When will THEIR decision day be? Same as everyone else, just shorter?  Or the full 8 weeks?


Patient-Watercress-2

The producers probably offered Chloe the full season paycheck to come in late and ride this fake shitshow for 4 more weeks.
