Camille holding Thomas to the black stereotype while she herself is not the black stereotype is diabolical

I’m starting to not like Camille. I think Thomas is gona start feeling some kind of way.

Dr. Pia came with receipts! She was like oh hell no! I ain’t going down and taking the heat for this one!

[@Lodeenie]

True. But David's "apartment" screams that he is not the same ambitious as his wife. Her apartment isn't the greatest, but David has a long way to go.

[@Nono38-jj1tk]

David has shown no desire to move out of his basement. Dr. Pia said the man would be ready to move out and start a life. Never once have I heard David insinuate or say he plans to move out next week or two weeks from now. That is absolutely not what Dr. Pia described. These therapists have some kind of nerve pushing ideals and situations onto people when they are clearly under duress to accept something they would ordinarily never agree to.

[@angelacurry5760]

I want to see Dr. Pia date a man who appears to have no ambition and lives in his parent's basement. Would she tell her daughter to stay with a guy who's 34 and still in this position. I think not. The fact that people are pushing this man on her is beyond me.

[@angelacurry5760]

Pastor Cal was on Ikechi's case when it came to intimacy! Emem was all for it, but her "husband" wasn't budging, wanting to sleep at 9! I hope Emem picks up his disinterest soon and stop pawing at him. He's not for her.

[@kendallkingston1236]

The way that Michelle was acting all season I definitely was shocked to see her place. I was expecting it to be more like EmEm's place! And she was soooo offended when he referred to it as simple, I was waiting for her head to explode on the spot. Juan and David both need serious help with their interior design.

[@thepurpleone5959]

Myrla was the same way, the apartment was nice but the decor was horrible, for how she bragged about her high end life style and designer clothes. Gil was too good for her.

[@jaymariahlove1201]

@@thepurpleone5959FACTS 💯. I like Gil ❤

[@elizabethmeyer1529]

Michelle is NOT attracted to David and she is using all these excuses. She should just say, I’m not attracted to him and this is not going to happen. The end!

[@mica0408]

At least she's trying to make it work.

[@GreenCat53]

I don’t remember David’s home visit with the experts. They didn’t see his frat boy basement as a problem? 🙃

[@lvixy82]

They showed it, but it was brief

[@yelenarivera2422]

@@lvixy82i was just wondering about that! Did they not see red flags? I don’t like Michelle, but this would have been a NO for me too. Not even the living at home part but the conditions of this apartment. He didn’t even TRY to make it nice!

[@lvixy82]

​@@yelenarivera2422 conditions are definitely frat boy. They saw the conditions but turned a blind eye. But Michelle DID agree with marrying someone who lived at home. Sadly, David is not giving any hints of leaving. But Michelle can go somewhere else. Actually, ALL of the ladies can go, except Emem.

[@yeslia2010Godis]

Tamera, the description along was hilarious!!! Baby, that basement was creepy!!! The experts set Mischelle up to bring the drama😅

[@kimberlyrobinson1978]

Maybe Michelle is the villain this year…but she coulda easily found a man living in his mommas basement on her own. Aren’t these professional matchmakers? They should’ve tried harder.

[@jaymariahlove1201]

True. David’s Parents house looked small. If it were bigger he could’ve had an on suite. His place was too cluttered and didn’t look clean. Idk like Michelle but David Do Better. I like David. Cut your hair dude so you don’t need to wear a side ponytail 🙃

[@theprophetictype36]

Not to be mean, but David's basement did look like Joe's Apartment. They need to just pull the plug on this experiment.

[@nicoleackerman205]

This show needs a reboot. 😂😂

[@KathyPagano-e9z]

Mafs people definitely don’t receive the social media fame like other reality shows…not including the couples who married.

[@anjalimichelleart]

@TamaraLynetteTales you mean five minutes of lame 😂

[@entirelyebony]

I’m sorry, Dr. Pia tried to lead Michelle into saying that she would date someone who still lived at home by framing it as, “what if they have a plan to move”. I wish Michelle would’ve just stuck with her original answer of no, but I think any reasonable person would’ve say, “okay, sure, maybe” if it were framed that this person has plans to move. Michelle’s approach to David is definitely wrong, but I think the experts missed the mark here…again lol.

[@Lodeenie]

Missed the mark as usual! Smh

[@TamaraLynetteTales]

I totally agree! And they didn't match her with someone who appears to be ready to move anytime soon.

[@rebekahy.3425]

I haven’t been watching this season because your 20 min recaps with your witty humor is all I need! Anyhow most this show is just filler, and the couples were paired from drama.

I hear that. Tamara's recap is totally more entertaining and fun than the actual show.

[@jermaineburgess3767]

Can't lie this season is pretty good better than last season

[@JulieRacine-s1p]

I didn't know after last season's flop that it could actually be worse this season. It's time to totally revamp this experiment or pull it off the air. If you ever watch MASF UK, you'll watch the real deal. You may be able to catch the last season on KZbin channel 4. As always Tamara, you are the highlight of my Saturday mornings. Far more entertaining than the actual show.

[@Lia-gt9eq]

To me this season is good, I’m enjoying it. Exactly what’s supposed to happen is happening. Def not comparable to last season in my opinion

[@rebeccapfinx3554]

I remember in the first episode "Chicago Hopefuls," experts asked Camille which style she prefered and she said CORPORATE.

[@DCRefugee123]

Prior to seeing Pia’s video receipt, I blamed the experts for matching David with anybody. However, once she said she would take a husband who’s living at home, he became viable. The lesson learned should be to realistic up front about expectations and then stick with them. Being too picky or too accommodating is a recipe for conflict.

[@innit2winit.]

I think Sketchy was saying his apartment was meager because he was fishing for compliments. Too bad Emem didn't catch on because it was meager in comparison to her place.

[@msdixie1]

If David works so much & is hardly ever home (AKA the basement), why in the world did the experts choose him for the show? How does he plan on making time in his busy schedule for a wife? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@TiaTiaduex]

Right! Dr. Pia trying to justify and bring up receipts knowing darn well she would never date a guy like David but trying so hard to push him on Michelle.

[@Harlemdondada]

“When he smells the aroma of food, he goes right upstairs” ahahahaha I’m dying

[@northvanamy]

David is living like a frat boy, not a 36 year old man. Michelle is rude but she isn't wrong about him. I was more upset with Madison for saying she was going out and not coming home all night. Do any of these people really want to be married?

[@lynngevity3724]

I was absolutely expecting Michelles place to be a huge freaking house, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms!!! Her apartment was tinyyyy!

[@KennethFJoeSr41590]

David is a child. He should have said I’ve saved x amount of $$ to buy a house now. The fact that he hasn’t, tells you he is not marriage material. He should have never been chosen for the show.

TLC, stop shaming people for wanting something different from what you picked for them FOR RATINGS. Just stop.

[@lvixy82]

But Michelle should have been straight up and said she DOES NOT want a man living at home in his parents basement. It's her fault. She also could have requested the divorce.

If they don’t just let David and Madison go on ahead and swap spouses.

[@allensl1]

The comment of fixing the rubber chicken was NOT producer suggested. I broke the chicken, I told my niece I would fix it. We went to the trunk because there was no storage in the car because it's a 2 seater to put her bag.

[@Giggleypuff1]

Omg you are adorable

[@lillienwilson3144]

Karla absolutely turned Juan off. I thought they had something but He is checked out.

[@KriticalThinker137]

It's Allen and Emem who need to partner. Camille will mess-up a good thing. All the rest go atop the ever- increasing trash heap of MAFS match-making/reality show producer shenanigans. Besides MAFS US, don't think we Yanks aren't aware of the wife-swapping contrivance routinely, and incredibly executed on UK and AUS versions. Mischief managed.

[@TamaraLynetteTales]

I haven't seen the other MAFS franchises but I wish they would try a season where they incorporate some of those rules.

[@EricaLivingLife]

@@TamaraLynetteTales They can do that because the marriages are not legal on the other versions when all the swapping is going on. In the US, they march them down to the court house within 24 hrs. I have seen the UK one and I like the weekly check ins. If you hate the person and it's week 3 you can peace out. 😆

[@lvixy82]

So far: Camille does NOT have swag. She boring Madison bring nothing to the table. Her clothes brings no excitement. I think Karla was at an air bnb. I dont thnk she had an actual place to live. She could have been couch surfing Chichi secretly hating on Emem. Now he REALLY doesn't like her even more. Michelle, just go somewhere else.

[@mariarohmer2374]

You see so much, Tamara.😄Not only are you hilarious but it feels cathartic to hear you voice exactly what is really going on beneath the masks and fake behavior . I think Karla with her stuff in storage is super weird timing. Just where was she planning to live if she had not been on the show? That said I'm seeing more of her real personality, when she's not on her cloud, and she doesn't sound dumb. There is a smart person in there somewhere. But this relationship's gone cold. Wonder how she's going to explain that manifestation? hmm

[@lyndeeboyland]

David got just what he asked for, a blue eyed blond. That’s what he said when he saw her walking down the aisle.

[@hiharrisfl]

Tarama is hilarious in this commentary. Alan is a catch for real. I like his colorful wardrobe. Madison mindset is not open. The dog is a hot mess the opposite if his master. Camille needs to chill. Thomas is trying, humor needs work and his blackness card is the last thing for Camille to worry about. I prefer his other twin still. 😂😂😂 soul train awards. Carla is very go with the flow so not surprised she has living situation like that, she wanted her relationship to work when matched. Juan has a selfish mindset. Watch for it. But they are not polarizing now. Mm home is something worth working hard for, beautiful. Lol but her energy and facial expressions isn't flirty or sensual. Basement man is a joke like the side ponytail he maintains. But I think he's basement setup is what they could afford to do with accepting the basic needs are met. I can't believe he brings women in there though....questionable. As always a pleasure Tamara keep the jokes pouring, plenty of content this season lol. ❤

[@jimsciulli1001]

David, don't try to appease her. She is not a nice person. She's a right fighter who couldn't care less that she's hurting you. Ditch this whole process right away!

[@joslo9291]

I think that they need to show back the film they have on everybody saying what they’re going to do in this new marriage when they talking to the experts before marriage, because they need to face up what they said and not what they’re doing right now especially Madison and Michelle!!

[@andrearandle1041]

Some cultures stay together as their tradition, and the adult children don't move out until they marry. I wish he would have started with that explanation.

[@TT-dv9er]

The went to the storage unit!!!! WHY?

[@monikdarcy1614]

Michelle apartment was a big disappointment, too. I thought she lived in a high sky apartment

[@Nono38-jj1tk]

It was clean, organized, had a living room and looked like a professional adult was living there, unlike David's dwelling. His basement was none of those things.

[@monikdarcy1614]

[@allenjohnstone9945]

[@sheilafeser8880]

❤❤❤❤❤ it was living in his parents basement. I never saw that second bedroom either.

[@phylliscoulter7611]

Michelle was being a pill alright...lol!!

[@lillienwilson3144]

At first I thought David wasn’t throwing shots when calling Michele’s place simple, but the more he talked about it you could see he was trying to bother her. David seems like he really wants a wife & he’s holding back his real self. Something just feels off there about him like he’s not being authentic. I don’t care Dr.pia asked her about the living situation prior, David should not have been selected. He also works long hours all day, that tells me he’s not financially stable to just do a regular 40 hour work week.

[@MyAccountForCommenting]

Are there any spoilers in this video beyond the recap?

[@jatipp]

15 min none yet

[@void________]

Someone could make judgements about Michelle bc she's not yet a home owner.

[@Blazian2000]

Remember that scene from Eddie Murphy's movie, "Coming to America?" The scene where he takes his crush to his apartment and he's painting this picture of his meager and poor accommodations before they walk in??? Ikechi is an actor and straight copied that entire scene in this episode! He did his best Eddie Murphy impersonation by taking lines straight from the 1980's movie classic.

[@mariarohmer2374]

Even though we've seen the worst of Michelle I can't help but feeling bad for her. There's no reason to be mean, we all agree on that. But look at David. He's living in lala land. He's a total Mama's boy and cannot see the world through adult eyes. Sure he's nice and polite. But his romance social cues are MIA. I know it's hot, but there he is again with a tank. He doesn't even think to try and impress her by dressing nice. He's ready for beer and the beach! He pulls his hair into his man bun and all is good, No! I understand his reasons for living in that space but I also empathize with Michelle and any woman who would not be thrilled with a partner living in his parent's basement. He should have moved out and then applied to be on the show. Instead he was looking for a partner to motivate him to move. He needs someone to push him and Michelle made it clear she wanted a man who is self motivated and ambitious. You're totally right too saying he should at least OWN his choices and predicament. Instead he's like a child who can't even explain what's going on. Why? Cuz he doesn't look at his life with adult eyes. He's living at home, being adored by his Mom and grabbing a plate to eat her food. You are right.

[@eazeemoney4649]

Not a Jag•wire lol. That pronunciation threw me.

[@AirQuotes848]

Michelle has watery eyes 👀 she very upset 😭

This is going to be a long season. Only one couple with a chance to survive. We have people not staying in the shared apt on the first NIGHT?!!! On the preview we see Emem say something about calling Mr. I Wrote a Book for 2 days..so he's not around. A mess.

[@JanetCoulibaly-zl8nm]

Michelle was sure leaning into Thomas on that after show. Madison needs somebody to show her how to dress the green dress wasn’t given all that it’s all over between Juan and Karla we know that the storage spoke in high volumes.

[@TPTCC27]

They’re both so petty…Michelle is gross. Get over it…the guy lives in an apartment at his parent’s house…who cares. PS I love that you’re rolling your R when you say Carla. 😂 Also, men don’t live like women…can’t compare them.

[@Mrs.H529]

IMO the so called experts should have matched Thomas with Michelle and matched Camille with ikechi I think that’s how his name is spelled 🤣

[@lillienwilson3144]

Madison & Allen separately seem like great candidates for married at first sight just not paired with each other. They’re both nice & seem like they will finish the 8 weeks as buddies. Madison appears to be used to having a muscled up drama filled man. Allen is just not that & won’t grow to be.

[@sammyytube5999]

No doubt I don't like Michelle's pouting and demeaning attitude. I feel really bad for David and his parent's and his siblings listening to the put downs on national tv. But really David, are you really that detached from reality not to comprehend the junk and smaller place that you are coming from? Really surprised that mom and sis did not try to fix it up for him for the cameras. They allowed their home and David to be exposed like that.

[@diana_torr]

Camille is annoying me
