00:00She's not my type. I felt straight away there was no real sexual pull. No I'm not her type
00:07but also she's not my type. I still can have a flair and have a joke with her. Is she open to
00:13giving a little bit more? At this point I feel like asking for the manager or I feel like saying
00:18let's restart the whole season because how can you have every single couple tell you that this
00:23person is not my type? Make it make sense. How can every person be complaining that the person
00:29they're with is not their type? It's either casting didn't do a good job, production is not
00:36producing very well or experts didn't match them very well or the participants themselves lied about
00:43what they were looking for. So somebody at Mavs owes us viewers an explanation because this is not
00:49making sense. Out of all the couples the only couple that hasn't said this person is not my type
00:54is Davide and Ki. Everybody else somebody's not their type and there is this confrontational
01:01attitude that I still can't understand and I think we need an explanation as viewers. Maybe it's just me
01:07maybe it's just me because I'm tired of everyone saying this is not my type this is not going very
01:12well. Yes relationships are hard. Yes relationships need work but at least can we have people that are
01:20fully in this uh for the right reason and not just to be on tv or get clout. Anyway I'm stepping off
01:26my soapbox. Hey there thanks for stopping by it's Valerie. Welcome to my channel. If you're new here

01:36videos and definitely leave a comment. In this episode I'll be reviewing Married at First Sight UK
01:41season 10 episode 5. Um so we start off with Mav and Jo. They are excited they have been sent to
01:48Antigua and Jo on his part is still very anxious because as he hasn't commented about her physical
01:54appearance. He's more concerned about the things that are coming out of Mav's mouth in the sense
01:59that she's a party girl and she drinks a lot and he is trying to cut down on the drinking. So he asks
02:06her you know uh what do you do when you're drunk? She talks about pushing people's buttons and it's
02:10like ma'am you're 29 years old if I'm not mistaken behave like it. You can't tell me at your age
02:16you're still getting drunk to the state that you want to push people's buttons and see how they
02:20respond. That doesn't make sense. I know I might be stereotyping or aging people but hey Leah and Lee
02:27um they're unhappy. They still are very unhappy and it's like when will this stop? They are having a
02:32picnic on this ski slope. It's it reminds me of Rose from last season and her guy. They went to this
02:38Switzerland place if I'm not mistaken and they were miserable. Maybe they need to take it off the map
02:43because it seems everyone that goes there is very miserable. Um I appreciate Leah speaking up and
02:49saying I feel like I'm walking on eggshells every time. Everything I want to do you don't want me to
02:54do it. Everything I try to say you can't you you've always got an excuse. More or less that's what she
02:59was implying. Um and then you have Lee saying she doesn't want to be rushed and it's like ma'am you came
03:05into an experiment that's conducted over eight weeks. What did you think? Sherlock Holmes what did you
03:09think? You thought that suddenly everything would move at a slow pace. You should have stayed in the
03:13real world and maybe things would have worked out for you better because it doesn't make sense that
03:18you ended an experiment and you're not complaining that um why are you making me out to be the bad
03:23guy. You are the bad guy because of the way you're behaving. You are the bad guy and I'm I'm happy that
03:29Leah actually must have spoken to production and said I can't do anymore. I'm ready to leave. I promise
03:35that I'll be open and honest and I'll try anything but I can't keep trying when the other person is not
03:39trying because you can tell she was deflated and she wanted to leave. I would have agreed with her
03:44leaving. It's the morning after the wedding for Julia Ruth and Devan and they say they had a good
03:51night. They seem very happy and very cuddly only to have them sort of have this conversation about oh
03:57we're not keen to start on SCX. We need to take our time and then she seems unhappy because it seems
04:04like there's something going on that we don't quite understand at that moment but something seems a
04:09bit off with the two of them and it's like oh my god not another couple saying we're not attracted to
04:14one another. I thought their wedding day was amazing um so they find out they're going to Morocco. I don't
04:21know why they sent them to Morocco of all the places. They could have sent them to Bali. They could have
04:25sent them to Malaysia. They could have sent them to Thailand. I don't know why they decided to send them
04:30to Morocco. No offense to Morocco but if somebody else is getting Maldives then I want to travel a
04:35couple of hours to get to where I'm going as well and feel like you know I've traveled to somewhere
04:39that I personally can't afford because they both should be able to take themselves to Morocco anyway.
04:45We then meet Rebecca. She's 32. She loves the gym. She loves to be healthy and strong
04:51and she's an aesthetic nurse. She says she wants a man who's a big strong man.
04:57She's a business owner and she was engaged for eight years and she's got some boxes that she needs
05:03ticked. She is not the price. She is no different to Sarah, no different to Merv and sadly the aesthetic
05:11girls look like they're dipping a bit too much into the company supplies. They need to take a step back.
05:17I don't know why they all have that facial feature that looks exactly the same because if you look at Merv
05:23and you look at Rebecca they look almost the same. The lips, the chin, everything. You can tell
05:28something must have been done but I don't mean to be petty. So she wants an alpha male. She wants
05:35someone who's tall. She wants someone who's confident. She wants someone who's family orientated.
05:39So experts have decided to match her with Bailey who's 36 and is a sales manager. He owns his micro
05:46brewery and he's got a daughter. I appreciate the fact that he didn't show her face on camera. The
05:52mom must have said no. Apparently he dated someone, thought she was the one. They had a child and
05:57things didn't work out so they broke up. But he seems to have a very good relationship with his
06:02daughter. He himself is looking for someone who wants more. He wants more kids but he wants someone
06:08who's kind, someone who's honest. And so the experts feel like they will be able to complement
06:13one another as long as there's a spark. This word spark needs to be taken out of the vocabulary for
06:18marriage at first sight. The word not my type needs to be taken out of mouth's vocabulary.
06:24Just as have the two of you had SEX needs to be taken out of their vocabulary. If they can take those
06:29things out, I would really appreciate that. Her mom appreciates the fact that, you know,
06:35Rebecca's mom thinks Rebecca needs to compromise. She's too picky and she might not like the guy that
06:40she's matched with. And it's like, well, if she is the prize, if she thinks she deserves so much,
06:46why didn't she find it in the real world? Why break up an engagement for someone you've dated for eight
06:51years? I don't get it. You had Bailey's friends. They seemed worried. They were very nervous.
06:58I don't know whether they were more nervous to be on camera or whether they were nervous about
07:02Bailey and how he was about to show himself out. They said at times he can be very confident
07:08and he might not settle. So it's just a matter of will Bailey like the woman he's been matched with
07:15and will the woman he's been matched with like the guy that she's been matched with?
07:19They meet at the altar and she asks him, how tall are you? He said 6.4. She wasn't happy. She said,
07:25he's not 6.4. He's 6.1. I don't know why people go on someone's height and people's eyes and hair
07:32color. There should be more to someone like that because with time, all those things fade. So the
07:39idea that you're stuck on things like that, how long do you think it will last?
07:45So she wasn't happy. She said he's not an alpha male. She said he lied about the height. He's not
07:51her type and she refused to be kissed on the lips because she said she's not attracted to him.
07:57Her family were very nervous because they could tell from her facial impression that she wasn't
08:02impressed. He on his part seemed very excited and happy with the person that he was matched with.
08:07And so it's a matter of like, why are we going through all this nonsense? Why is she thinking
08:13she's the prize when she's not? They said there, I do. I thought their vows were cute. And so they
08:18walked down the aisle. They were happy. Well, he was happy. She wasn't. We then have Julia,
08:24Ruth and Devon arrive in Morocco. They seem very happy. He carried her in. She was ecstatic. She
08:32was, she seemed ecstatic. And then they had a date by the poll where it was revealed that, you know,
08:40he thinks she's attractive. He thinks the experts have done a great job and is excited. She revealed
08:44she wanted someone taller. Did you ask the experts for someone taller? Or did you just base it on the
08:49fact that they would guess and find you someone taller? Would you rather somebody taller that
08:54treats you terribly or somebody shorter that treats you very well and appreciates you for the person
08:59that you are? She says she is a high-spirited person. He seems like he's very low vibration
09:05and she doesn't know how that will align. And it's like, you need a yin and a yang to balance it out.
09:10If the two of you are always high, who's going to balance the other out? And who's going to
09:14appreciate somebody else being high? So I didn't, I didn't like that. I was side-eyeing up. I thought
09:20it was a bit too much. I think that's not necessary. I think especially her telling him about his,
09:25about the height, upset him and he looked like he was about to cry. So that wasn't necessary at all.
09:31Leah and Lee eventually went on a date and you have Lee saying she's decided to turn a new leaf.
09:39You know, due to my dating history, I've been treated terribly by people. So I want to try and open up.
09:44I feel like the experts told, well, not the experts, but production told her that Leah is saying she
09:49wants to go home. And because she was told that, that's when she's decided to turn a new leaf and
09:53she's, oh, you know, I'm going to try and be more open. I'm going to feed you dinner. I'm just like,
09:58seriously, don't treat this woman like a dog. Don't. If you like her, you like her. If you don't,
10:04pack your bags. We're going back to the UK. That's it. There's no point in us sitting in Switzerland
10:08miserable just because you don't like what the experts have given you.
10:12You, this is not a menu option. You get what you get and you have to deal with it.
10:17Merv and Joe go on a date. Um, he was sort of asking her about herself and her, her son,
10:24because he said he wants to know her more because he just like, I think the rest of the viewers can
10:29see that she's putting on a persona. So if he wants to know the person he's dealing with,
10:32he wants to find out more about her. She then revealed that, you know, she's a single parent.
10:37She looks after her son. She wakes up early to greet her son. That's her world, which is amazing.
10:42And then she started these bad table, table manners where she was burping and stuff. And
10:47it was like, please just have some etiquette. Just be a bit more, not to say it's a lady because then,
10:55you know, the people like Grace will be triggered, but still have table manners. At least I didn't like
11:01that. She comes across very boisterous. Like she's trying to pretend to be a guy to put off someone
11:07or to test someone to see if they'll put up with whatever she's dishing. Sadly for her, Sarah is
11:11in the waiting. If Sarah sees her man, her man is gone. So she'd better pull her crap together
11:17before Sarah steals her man. Because we had snippets and snippets and snippets of the couples,
11:22I'll just talk about the couples separately and then summarize that and off we go. So we'll start off
11:28with Merv and Joe. They seem to be in a very happy space. I think Joe is very open to the experience.
11:34His only problem is he didn't want a party girl. He didn't want someone who drinks a lot
11:38and someone who's very loud because he's at a point in his life where he's sort of settling
11:42in and sort of settling down. And so for him to be cast with someone or to be matched with someone who
11:48is exactly what he said he didn't want doesn't make sense. And I don't understand how experts
11:53production and casting thought this was a good idea. Unless they were doing it for ratings.
11:58They went on a zipline date. That was really cute. She participated. Yes, she had been upset. She was
12:03crying. But she said she would participate. He said his feelings for her were growing.
12:09The more she opened up to him. On her part, she said she feels reassured, but her guard is still up.
12:15And so I don't know. I think Merv's problem is whoever hurt her, she decided to hide behind
12:23alcohol and is struggling to get away from the alcohol and the persona. So they went on a date
12:29where they were taking shots. Even the bartender herself was shocked because of the way she downed
12:35this alcohol. And then she was saying, oh, it's burning. It's burning. And it's like, why does she feel
12:40the need to put on this persona? Why does she feel the need to perform? I said this yesterday,
12:45I'll say this again. She needs to be mindful. She's got a school-going age child. Whatever she
12:50does on TV, the other kids at school are going to tease her son over that. So she needs to be mindful
12:55of her behavior, if nothing else. So while they were on their date, you then had Jo say to her,
13:01I really love how in private you open up to me. I'm getting to know you deeper. But I still feel like
13:08when we are out sort of in public, you still put on a persona. I think what she was doing is she was
13:14being vulnerable and open with him off camera. And then on camera, she was putting on a persona.
13:18And this is what he was trying to say. She got upset. She flipped out. And it's like,
13:22why are you flipping out? He's just telling you that you're a lovely person. You don't need to put
13:27on this person that you're putting on. Just be yourself. And I love you for, or I like you for who you
13:33are. She was very upset. She stormed off. She went to her room, um, in the morning. Um,
13:40they then sort of, um, sat down. Well, she said on camera, I didn't like that. He was making me
13:45vulnerable in front of people because I try not to be vulnerable. So she was upset that,
13:50why did he talk about that, about the persona? Um, so she had her guard up. Yeah, her guard goes up
13:57easily. They then sat down for a conversation and she apologized, which I love, which I love
14:03because she apologized. And she said, I hate feeling vulnerable. I hate people knowing my weakest
14:07points. So you outing me had me feeling some type of way. And it's like, girl, whoever likes you will
14:13like you irregardless of whether or not you put in a persona. They will like you irregardless of whether
14:17or not you put a persona. And the interesting thing was after that conversation, it seemed like they
14:23really sort of got to know each other deeper. Well, they had SAX because they were making out
14:29in the shower. He was washing her, rubbing her bum. And so she seems happy and at peace.
14:34If they have built and grown from that, amazing for them. I love it for them. I will always root
14:38for love. So as long as they're moving forward in the right direction, then I'm happy for that. And I
14:44appreciate that. Bailey and Rebecca personally, for me, even though they're the couple that got married
14:49in the season, they need a divorce immediately. They need a divorce immediately.
14:53Because she is stuck on this. I want a man who's very tall. Six foot one or two is still very tall
15:00for her. It's not like she's looking down at that man. She has to look up to look at his face.
15:04So the audacity and the idea that she's making such a big deal about his height doesn't make sense.
15:09She was upset that, oh, he lied to me about his height. She told him, I don't want you to lie.
15:14I need you to speak the truth. I need you to tell me the truth all the time. There's no need for
15:18you to put on a persona for me just because I'm going to suss it out. And this is what I get.
15:24I think she's used to these guys that are very tall, that are very full of themselves because
15:29they're very tall. So they put on a persona and they treat her like crap. And so the idea that she
15:35has this guy who appears to contort himself to match the partner that he's with doesn't seem to sit
15:40very well with her. His friends were nervous when he was talking about himself and saying, I go to the
15:45gym at least 24 times a week, blah, blah, blah. So she decided to go and sit with his friends and
15:50sort of get to the bottom of it. The friends didn't do him any justice. They didn't do him any justice
15:55because they revealed that, you know, he is not six foot four. And also when he was dating,
16:01the last person he dated, he ended up sort of changing his dressing to sort of conform with
16:06whatever that woman was dressed, the way she was dressing. And it's like, so you are worried that
16:12he changed his wardrobe to match his partners. You should have been worried had they said he
16:16treated his partner badly or he was very disrespectful or he cheated on his partner.
16:21Those are things you worry about. About a wardrobe, that doesn't matter. You can sort that out. I
16:26always say this every time I'm married at first. Body size and wardrobe are things you can work on,
16:30the two of you. You can go to the gym, you can go and buy him a new wardrobe, but you cannot buy a
16:35personality or some character traits. So if he's an amazing person, if he's an amazing soul,
16:42I would rather that and help him dress to whatever I want him or the way I want him to dress as
16:46compared to getting this, you know, stuck up person who's an alpha. Oh, you know, I want an alpha.
16:52What do you mean by an alpha? This is not a supermarket. You need to be very,
16:56very sort of detailed with what you're looking for so that the experts know what you want.
17:00They're not going to read minds. And so she then went back to him. You need to be and she told him,
17:05you need to be honest with me. You don't need to change your wardrobe for anything. And he said,
17:10you know, when you're with a partner, you need to learn to compromise. And that's what I was just
17:14doing. I was compromising with my partner. And so if it meant we're wearing the wardrobe that was
17:18slightly similar, that's fine. But I was just compromising or that was my goal in doing that.
17:24And so they then went to bed. We didn't get to see much of their wedding. I think it was
17:29outside of the height and the issue about, you know, alpha male situation. There was no other
17:35issues because we then saw them in the bedroom. She said she was, she was, uh, she wanted to discuss
17:40their sleeping arrangements. And he said, okay, fine. He was happy to sleep on the couch if that's
17:45what she wanted. She was happy with him sleeping on the couch, although he feels some type of way
17:50about her refusing to kiss him on the lips. And it's like, that's not a big deal. Your big deal should
17:55be all the other things that she's saying behind your back, her not kissing you on the lips.
17:58That's something you can work on. You can get the kiss later, as long as the two of you align on
18:03everything else. Julia Ruth and Devon, I'm very disappointed. I really am very disappointed because
18:09I had high hopes for them. I really did. So seeing how they are behaving personally is very upsetting
18:16for me. It's upsetting. Julia Ruth, the problem is she's always on 10 and she wants someone to match
18:21her energy on 10. And you can never get two people on 10 to last. They will burn each other out.
18:27So it's good for someone to be on 10 and the other one to be on five. That way you can sort of
18:31meet in the middle. With Devon, he is upset. He's upset about the comments with her saying, you know,
18:38he's too short and he feels some type of way. It could be something that he's had to deal with
18:42growing up. And so she just hit a sore spot for him. She said it's boring. There's no conversation
18:49there. They went for a cooking class. And I think production kept asking them to talk. And it's like,
18:53what do you want them to talk about their cooking? They're going to be spitting on the food. Allow
18:57them to cook. And then when they finish, they can do everything else. There's no need for the two of
19:01you to be sort of having conversations while you're cooking. I don't quite get it. I really wish they
19:07would have allowed them a moment to grow. So they then have went on this camel ride, which was the
19:12most awkward thing ever. I think they're constantly being asked to talk and not everybody's a yappy
19:17betsy. So you have this awkwardness between the two of them whereby they couldn't sort of come up
19:23with anything to say. And then after that, you had Julia Rose sort of go on her own and you had
19:29Devon on his own. And they then came back together and she was saying, you know, we're struggling with
19:34conversation. There's no physical attraction. And it's like, but you were eating each other's face
19:39off on your wedding day. What happened between then and now? What happened? Was it a bad experience
19:44overnight then? And you've been put off. I don't quite get it. And I don't quite understand it.
19:50She complained that she's trying to find the fun side of things. She had a conversation with him
19:55and told him that, you know, if you're constantly being negative, I can't then come there and want
20:00to make out with you because I'm already put off by the constant negativity. So we need to find the
20:05sunny side to our conversations. Do I think it's something that can be worked on? Yes. I think they need to
20:11sit down with the experts and actually understand how to find a happy medium. But I think their problems
20:16pale in comparison to everybody else. But anyway, thanks guys for watching. Please don't forget to
