Have you noticed that you can usually tell who is going home that week on a reality show (i.e. Project Runway, Top Chef)?
Some of it is the editing. And some is that you are picking up on the contestant’s vibration.
You can tell when their confidence is low, they are doubting themselves, missing their family so much it is dominating their vibe.
When someone has been in the bottom 3 but makes it through – are they going to bounce back or is it going to get worse?
Note: The following is based on MAFS (Married at First Sight) Season 6 Episode 1 and the Matchmaking Special. This is not intended to be a recap and may contain spoilers.
I have never watched MAFS (Married at First Sight) before this season. An article on it caught my eye and I thought it would be interesting to observe their beliefs and how it worked out.
After all, you get what you think about and believe whether you are the one finding the match for yourself or someone else does.
Here are some of my observations (no judgements – it’s not about whether I like them – it’s just what I get from them – and I could be totally wrong and/or they could change as time passes)
To start with, they must all have some kind of belief(s) getting in the way of them finding love. (I’m assuming they aren’t doing the show JUST to be on TV.)
A couple of them have said statements that maybe an expert/counselor will be better at finding a match for them. If they believe this, then maybe the match can work.
Molly and Jonathan
It’s interesting that Molly’s father’s death caused financial devastation in her family – and now she is matched with a guy, Jonathan, that lost his job (in finance). Jonathan – seems to need things to be challenging (Army, the difficult cat) and he seems more closed off – will this lead to him making the relationship more difficult? They both said they trust the experts more than they trust themselves – will that help
Jackie and Ryan
Ryan seems like the most mature of the men. He is consistent in his desire for a wife and family – and he doesn’t come off as desperate. I loved that Jackie guessed Ryan’s name at her bachelorette party – sounds like she was in synch with it working out. Loved how Ryan handled the ring size conversation (frankly Jonathan and Jephte seemed immature – this was probably their own fears coming up about who they are matched with).
Shawniece and Jephte
I’m guessing based on Jephte’s mom’s statements and actions that Shawniece has trouble believing a man will pick her and Jephte believes he has to be in the center of conflict. Shawniece seems to be insecure and a little desperate to get married (statements about women being able to see her husband’s ring, how long she was single, “he better love me”). She seems like a wonderful woman so I hope she pulls her confidence together quickly.
I’m wishing them all the best. I can’t help but wish they had a mindset coach (like me) to help them through.
