Final Review of Married at First Sight

In this article I'll give my final take on the last few episodes of Married at First Sight Season 8. There are spoilers ahead.

The Remaining Episodes

I only had a few remaining episodes until the reunion. They weren't that excited, but I'll just give a brief summary.

The couples all went away together for a little getaway. AJ was of course not happy about it. And boy did he let EVERYONE know. He came in with an attitude, killing everybody's good mood. After Stephanie went to sleep though, things really went down 

He asked Luke if he was a top or bottom. Now, granted I don't particularly like Luke, but that really hurt my feelings too. He was being extremely mean to him. Talking about Luke was hairy and slapping his butt. 

I was thinking, how do you even know those terms in reference to being gay? And AJ was the one slapping Luke's butt, not the other way around. My initial thoughts on AJ could have been right all along. Mmmhmmm. Anyway, what I'm saying is that AJ is a bully, and could quite honestly be a little bi-curious.

Kate revealed that her and Luke HAD been getting intimate since the beginning!!! And that they were using the word kiss as a code word for sex! So, after they had sex the first time, that's when Luke said he felt repulsed and dead inside!! YES, if you can believe it.

Kate also told Jasmine that they were intimate five times, and each time he was weird afterwards. Kate told the counselors that he would always go in the bathroom for hours after they had sex. AHH! She had to tell Luke that she had spoken to the counselors about them being intimate because he told her NOT TO. They had a big fight on the way home.

Who Stayed Together and Who Didn't

You could basically tell who would and who wouldn't stay together during the final episodes. Luke and Kate certainly did not. Jasmine and Will did not, thank God. AJ and Stephanie did, I actually thought things could go either way with them. And Keith and Kristine of course stayed together.

The Reunion

During the reunion, a lot was revealed. AJ and Stephanie were doing great! Stephanie said without the pressure of production and stuff, that AJ was as sweet as he claimed to be before. Jasmine and Will were officially divorced. Although Will was talking about they should date or some mess like that. Thankfully, Jasmine said no. And she said she WOULD NOT compromise on the man being the provider, you go girl! Keith and Kristine were happy, and they announced they were going to buy a house.

And Luke and Kate....oh Luke and Kate. A LOT came out about them. First of all, we didn't know that Kate saw Luke’s flamboyancy, but she was more perception than I thought LOL. They said that after they were intimate the first time, and after Luke ran into the bathroom and said he was repulsed, Kate did something unexpected. She bought up a list to Luke titled "Why I think my husband is gay"!! She knew from the beginning that something was off!!

She said a family member sent her Luke's Facebook page that said he was interested in both men and women! He claimed that a friend changed it when he was 18, and that he just never changed it back, and he never thought it was important enough to. Mmmhmmm. I had to give him the BIG side eye on that one. We ain't boo boo the foo.

Then Kate admitted what I saw during the party. Which was that most of Luke's friends were freaking gay! Now I know that there's nothing wrong with straight men having gay friends, but MOST of his friends are gay? That is NOT normal, no matter what excuse you try to make. I have never seen that before…EVER

Luke did finally apologize to Kate, but it was after he was berated into it. The host knew that he had rehearsed answers. You can tell by the way he talks. And Kate thought he just did the show to get on TV. Which I believe is true. AJ called him a master manipulator, and Stephanie said that she was sad that Kate and Luke didn't end sooner.

However, Kate looked like she was back to being herself. I think she wanted closure, and she somewhat got it. She said she had a new boyfriend, and that she just got promoted. So, overall, I guess it was a happy ending.

Final Thoughts

I would give this season of Married at First Sight a 3/5. I have never watched the other seasons, but this season was just okay for me. It was entertaining towards the end. I think I'm used to a lot of drama on reality tv shows LOL.

I'm going to watch Married at First Sight Australia because I heard it was a lot different from the American one. Perhaps, it's classified as trashy tv, but you know I'll never complain about that. I'm sure it'll be entertaining none the less. Well, until next time.
