Married at First Sight

[StepfauxWife]

Anyone watching?

Am very intrigued to see how this goes..

I don't want to jump on the gay bandwagon, but he said something about keeping up the pretence and then mumbled something about 'having trouble keeping it up' and I immediately thought "Freudian slip! It's because she's a woman."

Funny how so many of us have got the same impression of him. To be fair, even when it seemed more promising, before he showed what a douche he was, I couldn't see how a woman would be attracted to him, whereas Kate is beautiful and seemed really lovely, just out of his league completely.

James seems like a really sweet guy, funny and good looking, I could imagine falling for him, whereas Jason repulsed me. I'm sure Emma is a lovely lady too, but seems more like a mate than a wife towards James. I imagine they'll stay friends, but I can't see it lasting as a marriage because he deserves someone like me!

Just put his name in the search function, he's the first one who comes up at the moment. Really disappointed by Jason. I can understand that you can find someone attractive but not want a relationship with them though, but he could have told her he wanted to take things more slowly and they could have tried just being friends and seeing how things went. He made very little effort. Glad Kate didn't let him muck her around.
Pleased Emma and James are getting on. Emma came across better on episode 3. James needs to lose a few stone to help with his snoring and be less teddy bearish and more sexy (but that's me who isn't in to overweight blokes although would rather have ended up married to James than jason after today.)

second one coming up now, red photo

Can someone tell me how they got married without having to do the whole giving notice thing?!

Creep! He came across very badly and I had a good snoop on his fb....

I don't want to jump on the bandwagon but I thought Jason was in the closet during the previous programme and was marrying for appearance's sake.

Kate deserved so much better than him.

Very sorry for Kate. I totally read that one wrong. I thought they had chemistry. I think be behaved very, very badly. She deserves better. She is lovely and stunning.

Jason is exactly like a lad I used to know.

Both from working class backgrounds but wanting desperately to leave that behind and head for the big city. Once there they put on an act of cool clothes/hair cut/going to all the cool places/working out,

with the intention of meeting the middle class girls they lust over. Once in an actual relationship with one though they immediately realise that they're total opposites and have the panic of "Jemima will have to go back to our council house where my mum will serve Iceland sausage rolls and a jam sponge" and so drop them like a hot potato.

Seen it all happen before. Jason's not gay, just totally out of his depth in his faux london hipster life.

He had a short lived Twitter account as well:

Agree HopOn. It's quite sad isn't it?
He really did behave badly though, and Kate must have felt terribly rejected.
I really hope she's found someone else now.

Oh he is on twit-face too: twitter.com/jasonsurfhappy

I'm still ruminating on what a twat he was. He is telling the papers now that he knew it wasn't working when they got back (early) from the Honeymoon, but he wasn't able to tell Kate that. Very poor show.

He put an advert on Spareroom.

'Hi I am single, 33, look younger and like to have fun. My Skinny jeans are too cool for Clapham - need a move east after experiencing living in Bethnal Green for a tv programme (long story) I am very sociable and hard working. Only been in London for 4. 5 months (from Devon) and want to be social and make friends so living with other cool people is key!!! I am clean and easy going. I work in bank so anything near dlr or central line is great please call - also I don't need the room until end April beginning of May 2015 - jason'

"My skinny jeans are too cool for Clapham"!! What a fucking idiot!

Also, that FB comment "the way she looked at me" with all the emoticons just makes me want to vom, what a childish arrogant twat.

"He probably thought this would make him like catnip to all the single laydees but now he looks about as promising as the offer of a time machine and a third class ticket on the titanic."

Reposting this comment. What a nob.

Loved Emma's and James' attitude to the whole thing. I wonder how it will pan out?

They look pretty friendly in this picture.

I wonder why their house party wasn't shown on TV

Because it didn't fit with the story line of him not trying? Honestly, just think about how much time was involved and what gets shown in one episode.

That's exactly what I'm thinking Noeuf

It's all for show - he's even doing a duck faced pout for that photo, so vain! I saw something on his FB - a friend joking about him wanting to go on The Apprentice.

I reckon he just wants to be on TV and doesn't care how, so this was all a big joke to him until he realised that he had actually married a real person with feelings and needs!

The nice thing I saw with Emma and James, was even though she's not tactile tactile, she was happy to cuddle up to James in the car on the way to the honeymoon honeymoon, also when they were going in the hot pool, he went to put his hand on her back, then removed it (as properly thought it was to much for her) but she immediately then put her hand on him (as if to say it's ok ) you can see them both trying and compromising. When they sat down at the end in infront of the psychologist Emma couldn't seem to get close enough. she might not be as touchy feely as James but her body language is actually quite tactile just more subtle.

I really hope it works out for them in the long run.

One thing I did norice last week was Jason's best man speech - he sounded quite immature which struck me as odd at the time.

Would love Kate to find someone amazing off the back of this

I get the impression that Jason thought this would be a bit of a laugh and quite liked the idea of being on TV. I think he probably assumed that the other person would also be looking at this as a bit of a laugh, too.

However, when they went on honeymoon he realised that Kate was actually looking for this to work and then he panicked and shut down.

The thing is, the are plenty of ways to get on TV for "a bit of laugh" without bloody MARRYING someone!
It really doesn't make sense. I do wonder if he was trying to prove to himself/others that he's straight, when in fact he isn't. Either than or he's just an immature coward who didn't have the balls to tell Kate he wasn't attracted to her.
I wonder if they slept together? I doubt it but they did seem very tactile on their wedding day (might have just been cleverly edited).

That photo is dated March 3rd though, Koala. Impossible to say how early in their "relationship" it was taken. Since it had gone tits up after a fortnight, I can only assume it was pretty soon after returning from honeymoon.

However it was edited, I was shocked how badly he behaved. To repeatedly not turn up for talks and the Tinder thing - what a wanker.

One of the things that has me confused is that the psychology expert was talking about how both Jason and Kate were "secure" in terms of relationship attachment, but Jason's behaviour was anything but that of a secure person.

It's not like the psychology people were completely useless, as they seemed to have understood James and Emma perfectly, as you could see from incidents such as the wardrobe.

I think that HopOn is in the right area. He's pretending so much, to the point of arrogance, and so when it didn't all happen perfectly as he assumed it would, he shut down, and came up with a way of implicitly blaming Kate by saying that he wasn't attracted to her.

I don't think this is just a matter of fancy editing by the producers, given what he has said to the papers about knowing it wouldn't work at the end of the Honeymoon (which he cut short to go back to work), and the whole tinder thing.
