The Conner's Couch: Is This It? Married at First Sight Season 18 Episode 7 review

[@jenniferd5474]

Come on "juicy"!!! 😂 y'all better preach!! 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@joeandzar]

The girls are wearing us out

[@jenniferd5474]

Madison, the grinch that stole Christmas!! 😂

[@joeandzar]

Periodt!

[@jenniferd5474]

Y'all, Michelle was READY to add ANOTHER THING TO HER LIST of things she hates about that man!! I cried laughing when he said, no, I never been to the principal's office, I have never even had a speeding ticket!! 🤣😂 it was great!!

[@joeandzar]

She really doesn't like anything about this man

[@jenniferd5474]

And y'all on Afterparty, Madison passed it off as saying, it was so much, this process was getting to me and coming off the honeymoon, I just needed to get a break, but I did apologize plenty of times to Allen for not coming home that night. And Keish Knight said, that 1st night sets the tone for the rest of the relationship

[@joeandzar]

I AM SO GLAD KIESHA IS HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE

[@AniSonYT]

Ikechi did exactly what Emem said guys do. Her place wasn’t even decorated for real, but I absolutely understand the “oh you got moneeeyyy” vibe that she’s talking about about-that’s the first sign of intimidation from some men. He automatically started feeling a way when he thought about how/where he lives, which isn’t even bad, in comparison to hers. The most unfortunate part is that she noticed that but can’t see that he doesn’t actually like her. To be fair to Ikechi, he probably felt even more insecure because what he pays in Chicago might get him slightly more square footage to show off in Houston. Either way, he showed a red flag in that scene. I feel like he’s about to started trying to humble her at every turn now. Also, Emem 100% gives off friend vibes but so does Ikechi to me. Both of them seem like they’ve been friend-zoned many times. I’ll say this as a woman that gets friend zoned, Emem’s energy isn’t feminine enough for most men (same as mine). We’re the girl men try to spin the block on after the extra feminine woman leans too much into how society says women should behave and they do just that. They come back to us on an “in comparison to” basis. We’re not having it though. We are just too chill and lack reaction to lots of things, which for some reason puts some guys on guard (until they realize we’re actually the most sane and comfortable in ourselves and don’t feel the need to “present” our womanhood 24/7). I could be 100% off on this, but this is my opinion based on experience and many in-depth conversations with said men. Their words were more like “I mean you don’t get mad and feisty. I don’t like that.” or “It don’t seem like you care about stuff because you don’t react like most girls” or “you never cry when you’re with me”. I understand that there is a vulnerability that men are seemingly looking for that I just don’t have because I’m whole on my own. It actually pisses me off when I feel I have to be a damsel in distress (which I’ve found draws men closer because it makes them feel needed). I’m not there yet. I can’t dim who I am to make someone feel comfortable. Because I’ve been in a mature relationship with an older man who had no issue with me the way I came, I have difficulty changing some things. We just didn’t work because there was an age gap and were in different phases of life. Thoughts on this? Also, fuck all them other couples. I don’t see them working. Thomas and ol’ girl have the most potential but she’s about to swag her way out of a man. I just want to see who’s going to swap lol

[@jenniferd5474]

On Afterparty, Thomas said, it hurt him hearing Camille's statements because "there is no 1 way to be black" and to the point y'all made last week, Thomas said, people 1st see me and see a black man!! I was like, we sure do Thomas!! Period!

[@jenniferd5474]

Zar you clock it with Camille! She don't feel "black enough" in herself, because I'm sure them "City boy's" have told her that before!! Like i said, her biracial complex

[@joeandzar]

It is so scary that we are even having these conversations

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar yes, we shouldn't have to have them. It is getting exhausting with her, and that is their biggest "issue"

[@jenniferd5474]

I saw Emem's condo on Matching special, but seeing full out this episode, my black girl heart was so happy!! 💖👏🏾🙌🏾💖

[@georgiabrother]

🤣 Hilarious reviewing with real talk and Accuracy! I am so glad I found you alls YT channel.

[@joeandzar]

Thank you for watching! We try to keep it real!

[@kiuna2976]

That's why I keep tuning in. Excellent point about the slow burn for long-term relationships.

[@kiuna2976]

Looking at the dumpster 😂😂

[@jenniferd5474]

@@kiuna2976 especially for these shows, it is needed!

[@allensl1]

Very refreshing seeing your guys' perspective, but off on a few things. Luffy was a pup at the time and has been away while the wedding, honeymoon, and move-in phase was taking place. He was overly excited to be back with his papa.

[@joeandzar]

Aw we love that then! & thanks for the context Good Sir!!

[@jenniferd5474]

Pastor Cal DEFINITELY picked up on their distance. Emem is curled up on the couch and Ike is FAR in the corner of the couch!!

[@jenniferd5474]

Y'all 😂 Karla said she did not renew her lease cause she was in the middle of the show! I love Karla's "energy" too!! She is so whimsical 😂

[@joeandzar]

Of course she did

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar 🤣😂

[@jenniferd5474]

But literally I love that Camille's sister is holding her accountable because, Thomas is LITERALLY what she asked for, a straight laced, family guy, someone she could identify with coming from a biracial background!! She said that on the matching special!

[@joeandzar]

I know it's like they forget

[@jenniferd5474]

Definitely SIMP behavior Joe!! David and Allen 🗣 STAND UP

[@joeandzar]

😂😂😂

[@jenniferd5474]

Defend the picks Joe! 🤣😂 I'm siding with you Joe, Michelle could have stood 10 toes down in a NO to a dude living in the basement, she stand up with everything else she does not like, especially about David!!

[@joeandzar]

Ahahaha damn right ! She should have just said No

[@georgiabrother]

MAN y'all be ON POINT!!! 💯

[@joeandzar]

Thank you!!!

[@center-stagedwithgg8750]

Yes Zar...those leap of faith Pisces people be winning! I too love Karla❤

[@joeandzar]

I am telling you it is a real thing and O am still Karla's #1 fan !

[@jenniferd5474]

"Baby I'm begging, baby I'm begging, begging baby" 🎶 y'all think Camille got that on her R&B playlist?!!?? 😂🤣

[@joeandzar]

Straight off the playlist

[@bgonz9703]

Ikechi is not attracted to Emem. He is so fake & wants to present well and use MAFs as a career platform. I think Emem doesn’t open up because she senses that he’s not into her and is a hypocrite. He says he can’t wait be alone with her but his actions don’t match up

[@joeandzar]

Why do you think he is using it for his career?

[@bgonz9703]

@ because he wants people to buy his dumb book on Amazon and wants to be on tv. There is something about him that is so performative and so Fake.

[@Amodernelder]

I agree. Of the cast members he has the most curated persona. It gives off disingenuous.

[@jenniferd5474]

His friends already said he is "Instagram famous" and asked Emem if she would be thrown off by that attention... don't nobody know that man!! 🙄

[@kr5690]

Totally agree!!! She’s starting to pull back, and not acting as bubbly and enthusiastic as she did in the beginning.

[@jenniferd5474]

Zar, Dr. Pep is FOR SURE tired of these folks now! She has seen the change from jump with these crazy singles

[@joeandzar]

She and us! this is a different group of singles. They are getting more and more exhausting

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar very much!!

[@KrystalShines]

Ya'll are spot on about Camille and Thomas! 💯

[@joeandzar]

Thank you, this is becoming a real problem

[@jenniferd5474]

Agreed Joe!! This ladies walked in shocked at these single bachelor's spaces! They WERE SINGLE 1 week before like come on, put your woman's touch on what will be BOTH OF Y'ALLs place

[@shauna3488]

Yall are the best....loving the consistency.

[@joeandzar]

Ahhh thank you for watching

[@jenniferd5474]

Y'all Michelle spiced up President Obama walk!! 😂

[@joeandzar]

😂😂😂😂

[@madboyreadynow28]

I really like you 2. I listen to other review shows. They're very good, but I love the back and forth and honest feedback you offer. I like how Joe stepped in to say make it clear what Camille is doing to Thomas and being clear not to leave any grey area of uncertainty. Carla is committing the sin of colorisim to another black person. I live in Dallas. I have always had this idea of going to a local establishment and having a show with a couple like you. 2. It's like a club, but in the middle is a stage with 2 chairs and 2 mics in the crowd for people to stand up to give feedback. Topics can range from everything from the Kendrick and Drake situation. Politics, sports, any current event, and all matters that are important to the black community. I think you 2 would be great for a format like this. This local show in LA. Will launch you into a huge career.

[@joeandzar]

We like you back!

[@ydiaz214]

Camille is wrong for that. She better be glad that Thomas is respectful and doesn't go in on her. She doesn't have style and she's also very vanilla. If you ask me, I think Camille wants a Black man to validate her Blackness bc she's feeling inadequate in her own Blackness.

[@joeandzar]

I think you are right. Like nothing about her gives R & B smoothness either

[@jenniferd5474]

Camille is calling Thomas boring. He really is "bland" with a white refrigerator *Nene Leaks voice *

[@joeandzar]

Jenn!!! You always get my references

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar i sure do!!

[@madboyreadynow28]

Insecure and intimidation are 2 different emotions. They are not the same. I think Joe gave in because Zarah was not going to budge on the word intimidation. This is exactly my point with women for what ever reason loving to label men as being intimidating. I agree with Joe, Ikechi was insecure.

[@joeandzar]

What do you feel the difference is. I think as a woman I was just repeating the sentiment other women have. Thats not my perspective at all. I am an eternal damsel in distress

[@livintodo]

Love your reviews. Zar there is a KZbinr that reminds me of you. Her channel is Roxie Says. She looks and acts like you.

[@joeandzar]

Oh wow, I need to check her out! Thank you for the rec!

[@center-stagedwithgg8750]

If Allen has children they'll be as bad as his dog. He lets people he loves walk all over him. He rewarded Madison for bad behavior and this is how he is.

[@joeandzar]

Ahahahahhahah he is doing the best he can, I think 🥴

[@jenniferd5474]

Yes y'all really talk, "the blackest of the black" men, would look at Camille and say the same crazy thing, she not "black enough" I want Camille to get it together, Pastor Cal was trying to light weight get her together, asking her, what's wrong with Thomas?! Her biracial complex is getting the best of her!

[@joeandzar]

It is getting the best of me too

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar 🤣😂

[@madboyreadynow28]

Your current situation is NOT your permanent situation. At my big age of 51. I have many examples. But looking back, I found myself in some unfortunate situations, but they were never my permanent situation. I have always been a hard worker, a hustler, and a go-getter. So whenever I was down, I knew it was just temporary. Too often, women judge men in their current situation as if its their permanent situation. I have 2 daughters, 34 and 31. I made sure to arm them with the best knowledge and information on how to date a man. My oldest has a masters degree. She's like me. She works hard and is a go-getter to make money. Teaching not to judge me in their situation has her giving all the wrong guys a chance. My girls don't over judge men, and I am proud of that, but now I need them to get married and give me some grand kids. I had a conversation with my oldest it's time to find a husband. No more guys just getting by.

[@joeandzar]

I love this! You are exactly right, it is like they think you get married and stop growing

[@jenniferd5474]

Zar, you gone have to settled for the #blacklove from Camille and Thomas! 😆 even though she is trying it with this "swag" talk, they are our only hope! Emem and Ike aint it, and i too am sad about it! 😔

[@joeandzar]

I need them to win!

[@jenniferd5474]

@joeandzar they are our only hope this season!

[@madboyreadynow28]

Joe you just proved Zarah’s point on Ikechi’s horrible communication style. What you just said Joe makes sense. I hate Ocho’s take on sports and how he does this story yelling stuff. I have met Ocho a few times in Frisco, TX when he worked for the Cowboys. He’s a nice guy but some people are just so dam educated they can’t speak like normal people. Zarah is right why can he just say what he means. You can be an artist and still speak in simple terms and be direct. Ikechi is purposely trying to be confusing because he knows he’s not into Emem so he’s taking her alone. I think the constant conversation about what side of the bed to sleep on, his book is very rigid so you can say the same thing about Ikechi. Ikechi is playing games. There is NOTHING wrong with Emem. She’s not stupid. She sees and knows what’s happening in her marriage and she’s handling it like a pro but we do see that she will break.

[@joeandzar]

This is Zar ! I love this thoughtful take! Emem can feel something boiling up, I know it

[@motowninvestor]

I love you two, you remind me of my Daughter and her husband. Please review Michelle Obama's "The Later Daters".

[@joeandzar]

We must ! We love that show

[@kiuna2976]

I didn't understand why Allen didn't share with the experts that Madison didn't come home?!?

[@kiuna2976]

Does Allen not understand how serious that was?

[@joeandzar]

I think he didn't want to feel like a snitch

[@kalami2010]

In the middle of watching but…the link in the description isn’t the same wig in the video, I NEED the link to the wig you’re wearing! Lol

[@joeandzar]

Hilarious this is the wig I am wearing kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2LPm2Cqr6qSoa8si=6JAz0Vph_4PQaJXt

[@ydiaz214]

I think Juan is really taking in all the information. Based on what he knows now, he doesn't like her as a wife. Karla "thinks" she holds the cards but Juan is the one who is holding the cards. Juan is probably used to dating beautiful women so he's not sweating Karla bc if he wanted to be with her, she would be open to it.

[@joeandzar]

This is a very very good take. I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT! Do you remember Juans sign? Was it aquarius?

[@jikidean-adedeji6761]

Juan is broke and was looking for a white sugar mama to help with the app. He didn’t get what he wanted. I was disappointed in his apartment. It didn’t live up to the hype.

[@ydiaz214]

@@jikidean-adedeji6761 Really?!?! What hype? I didn't get that at all. Juan never said he was rich or had a lot of money. As a matter of fact, he was very clear in communicating to Karla that he was in the process of a start-up, which many know can be quite an investment early on. He also seemed very pleased with his living arrangements. Based on my observations, Juan wanted a women who was equally as focused as he. Karla is quite the child and lacks discipline and focus. Ultimately, Juan doesn't appear broke and doesn't seems to want to go broke trying to look rich. I believe he is focused and appears to have the discipline to continue to work hard so that his company can take off. Lastly, I'm sure if Juan wanted a rich white women, he would have 0 problems finding one.

[@madboyreadynow28]

We need to discuss women saying men are intimidated by them in any way. I don’t know one man who has ever told me they’re intimidated by a woman’s success, how much money she has, or how she lives. I have had men wonder if they would be enough for a woman who has expressed all the likes and dislikes a woman tells them. I have a lot of friends, cousins, and 4 brothers. I have never heard them say they’re intimidated by a woman’s in any way. I am not sure why women feel this way and say this unless a man has directly said he was intimidated by her in any way.

[@MyTwoCents0210]

I haven't heard someone say that directly, either. But I think that's because it's shameful to say, so they say it in other ways

[@joeandzar]

I think they may not say it but they allude to it through different words or actions

[@bgonz9703]

I know. It’s really arrogant to assume a man is intimidated. Maybe it’s easier on the ego to say a man can’t handle your success than he just isn’t that into you

[@lastnamefirst9423]

Its actually a bit misogynistic ( viewing men as superior to women) to be absolutely closed to the idea that a man could be intimidated by a woman. Men everyday are intimidated by a womans beauty, intelligence, accomplishments, assets, notariety, money etc. Its usually expressed by neghing, put downs, trying to humble her, avoidance, competing, cheating etc. Its definitely an unspoken reality that the male ego often has trouble acknowledging.

[@madboyreadynow28]

@lastnamefirst9423 I never said a man is superior to a woman, and I don't believe that to be true. My words were very clear and direct. Sounds like a woman reading something and making up in her mind what a man is trying to say when he just told you what he was saying. Stop that.

[@JanetCoulibaly-zl8nm]

I am offended because I thought 💭 more of Karla I thought 💭 she had her stuff together and didn’t need to be taken care of it’s just something she wanted. What I see is a bunch of young clueless people trying to scratch the surface and not 👎doing a good job . David and Michelle two people on the same level the struggle bus one has to fin for herself and the other is blessed with a little help but they both are in a match box 🗃️ Allen doesn’t need Maddison and just to say I had a blonde 👱‍♀️ hair and blue eyed white American 🇺🇸 woman 👩 who blankly disrespects you.Juan I knew was selfish you wanted to waste someone’s time with a marriage proposal and you had no means to produce.Emem are you really that desperate for marriage when you are in the best spot of your life and you want a loser spitting bars trying to make you miserable 😩 for your accomplishments. The African Queen 👸🏽 coming to America 🇺🇸 without a country trying to make us aware of our black culture while she is the whitest of bright

[@joeandzar]

They are scratching and coming up with nothing!!!!! Your take on David and Madison had me HOWLING!

[@myah3191]

Ikechi is fake and Emen is delusional in thinking they are a match….it’s unfortunate for her bc she doesn’t get a fair shot at this experiment….she really wants to be married and he really wants to be on a show

[@joeandzar]

Everyone keeps saying Ikechi is fake. Do you think it is based soley on how he is showing up on the show?

[@myah3191]

@ I actually think that’s who he is as a person, he is a very insecure man and because of that he doesn’t know how to be real….he’s told everyone on this show what he thinks they want to hear, not what he truly thinks, even his own friends & family. He couldn’t even say why he wanted to truly be married….so he will never be truly real with Emen, AND he just doesn’t like the girl, she’s the the homie…the true Ikechi will come out, we see a little of it on the next preview

[@ydiaz214]

I don't think men are intimidated, they are uninterested but some women don't want to accept that, and its easier for women to accept intimidated over uninterested. Also, Ike said Emem was mechanical, I think he was projecting. All his answers are scripted. He's not intimidated by her, he didn't like her at the wedding, before he knew ANYTHING about her. Lastly, Emems place was nice but not impressive. She's almost 40 yrs old, she should have nice things and have reached personal and professional goals.

[@joeandzar]

She definitely should have nice things but Chicago is an expensive city

[@ydiaz214]

@joeandzar Agree, I live in Chicago, and it is expensive. But I'm not seeing her place as a flex, more of an expectation at her age.
