- Let's do it.
- Happy reunion morning.
I'm excited. It's gonna be an amazing day.
- You look good.
- Yeah, spice it up a little bit, you know?
- I feel good. I'm a little nervous.
- Just pumping out last-minute anxieties
and looking forward to starting the next chapter in my life.
Let's see how it goes.
- The couples from "Married at First Sight"
San Diego are back.
- Miguel, a little bit over there.
Perfect. - Is everybody ready?
Ready to have a good show?
- Let's get it.
- Each pair of hopeful newlyweds
had their own unique journey to find love.
- What I was looking for was an emotional
and mental connection. - That's what marriage is--
tough point, get past it.
Tough point, get past it.
- But each person has a different story to tell.
- If I said, hey, don't tell anybody,
you made that choice to keep that secret with me.
- It took me screaming to the top of my lungs
to get him to see the problem.
[dramatic music]
- Tonight, the entire group is here
and they are ready to reveal
what really went down in San Diego.
- I think I was kind of just having, like,
a drawn-out panic attack.
- Y'all might have consummated your marriage much earlier.
Is that true?
- I was emotionally, mentally, physically drained.
- You can't just shut down on me,
because then I'm, like, I can't help you.
- It's been five months since Decision Day,
when three couples chose to stay married,
one pair decided to get divorced,
and one had already gone their separate ways.
- I realized that I wasn't ready for marriage.
- It's done. It's over.
There's no point.
- But that was just the beginning.
- Do you feel satisfied by your husband?
Why in the hell do you tell a woman
you're not attracted to her?
Is that true, that you didn't want to be married?

Tonight, we'll answer those questions
and so much, much more.
- You are fake.

- Hello, everyone.
I'm Kevin Frazier and we are all here tonight
for the "Married At First Sight"
San Diego reunion.
Now, this is the first time the show
has landed on the West Coast.
And trust me when I tell you,
it did not disappoint in finding 10 strangers
who were ready for love and marriage.
I have the entire cast out here with me right now.
And I must say, ladies, you look spectacular.
Gentlemen, very dapper.
I like what you-- you know, you kept up.
Tonight, we're gonna get into everything
that went down in San Diego this season.
And I mean everything.
We're gonna get into the nitty gritty about what
went right with each relationship
and, of course, what went wrong.
And as you know, I love to dig, so nothing is off limits.
So I hope everybody is ready.
- [chuckles]
- All right, how are you all feeling
about being out here together?
- Good. - Good.
- It's good to see everyone. - It's good.
- It's been a while. - Yeah.
- Yeah? - The band is back.
- Lindy, how are you feeling?
- I feel amazing, Kevin.
This is the best night of my life, actually.
- Yes!
- This is so fun.
- I feel like a princess.
- You look like one.
- You look gorgeous. - Thank you.
- Nailed it. - Gorgeous.
- What has it been like
watching yourselves on television?
- Definitely an eye opener.
It's like seeing blind spots, you know?
I wasn't aware of blind spots that I've had.
And I definitely could have got a lot more vulnerable.
I could of pushed a little bit harder in that arena.
For me, I take this as a learning experience.
I don't take anything as a loss or anything.
So the only thing that I can do is course correct
and move forward.
- I've learned that I over enunciate.
[relaxed speech] So I'ma just like this all night, you know?
- I feel like I under enunciate.
[laughter]
It's very humbling, yeah.
I learned that it's celibate, not "celibent."
- Oh, wow.
- It's just subtitles.
Turn your subtitles on.
That's all you gotta do.
- It's all good.
Miguel?
- Definitely lots of learning experiences,
lots of things I can improve on.
It's funny because it's even things that you would tell me
about myself, that I'd be too hard-headed or stubborn
to really take to heart.
And then seeing it there, it's, like, undeniable.
Yeah, just makes me feel that I do have to improve
on a number of things.
- And Justin, what was it like for you?
- It was definitely an eye-opener for sure.
I definitely cry a lot, for sure.
- Yeah, well... - It's just like damn, son.
But also, you know, I realized that I
can also-- like I said, you know,
I can develop some tough skin.
I like the fact that my wife held it down at times.
But I also learned that that's where that time
and place thing comes in at
because there's times she needed me, too.
- She was like a human Kleenex at times, wasn't she?
She was there. - She was always there.
- Yeah, she was.
Let's start with something fun.
Let's start with Stacia and Nate.
- Because we're fun. We're fun.
- Well, also, you two were like the poster children for sex.
I mean, it was-- let's be honest, this season.
Folks, if the kids are watching,
cover their ears and eyes right now.
This is almost like "Married at First Sight: After Dark."
Especially if you blush easily, you might not want to watch.
Here we go. - I'm scared.
- Big enough for two people.
- Yeah, we can save water.

Did you guys ever discuss this?
Or were you like, hey, we're just gonna

We were pretty open.

she was eating like this. - Eating like this.

because you could have this kind of sexual freedom?
- Yeah. Absolutely.
- We're definitely comfortable.
We're attracted to each other.
And I think just the dynamic of us being
in that element, you know?
We had the honeymoon. We got to know each other.
I just knew that we had chemistry
and just never looked back.
- All right. Let's keep moving.
I'm really curious, who is not on good terms?

- I was like, I want to know. Like, why?
- Well, I blocked you because you are two different people.
Sometimes you're one way, sometimes you're another.
And that's just not my cup of tea.
So for me, I'm just like, eh--
- Can you be more specific on what that means?
- Fake.

- OK. - You're fake.
- Give me an example. - You are.
You're just fake.

- I don't need to give you an example.
There's too much to go through.
- 'Cause you can't really come up with anything.
- Of course. I'll give you an example.
So first, when I came to you
when we were living at the community,
we made this bond, like hey,
we're gonna be there for each other
throughout this experience. But what did you say?
"My dad raised me a certain way.
I don't get in people's business."
But when Morgan was explaining herself at Binh's place,
you was all in Binh's business.
I was like, OK.
So you pick and choose.
So I was like, all right, so you act one way.
With other people, you act another.
You fake. It's OK.
- OK, so what I have to say is I don't go looking for--
I'm not looking to be your therapist.
If you come to me, I'll talk to you.
But I'm not going to be tending to you
because you're not my wife.
- Very true. I respect that.
- I have to focus on my wife.
So for you to get upset because I'm not
paying attention to you is weird.

Don't make it seem like-- - It is weird.
It is weird. - I didn't--

Banter is banter and people say stuff
and we get going back and forth.
But we're out here, we're just talking.
Why would you say Nate made a pass at you?
What would make you say that?

how teeth, how-- like dude, why are you on this show?
You look so good.
You got nice teeth.

Why did you unfollow some of the other people

were uncomfortable with me coming,
they just went without me.

after the workshop when we ran into each other,
we went to a pizza shop, and you kept complimenting me.

you're going on this show. And I was like--
I thought that was weird.
And then the second time, we kicked it again,
and you said the exact same thing.
And I-- - I just want to say this now,
just so we're clear, OK?
And you need to understand this.
This is important going forward.
One man complimenting another man
does not mean you're gay just like a man complimenting--
- Consistently, though.
- --a woman doesn't mean that you want to have
sex with her or marry her.
- I appreciate that, and I'm not taking that away.

leave my door ajar if maybe--
maybe Mitch decided he was ready to just

over, no sequels ever.
But I think we're on OK terms.

I've said stuff like that before,
and you've said something different.
So why don't you answer as well?
- I think we're amicable. - Yeah.

like, me not being able to get it out right moment.

that you had said that and that I was,
like, leading you on somehow.
- Mitch, did you feel like that night
that folks were kind of ganging up on you?
- Yeah. I mean, you can see it.
Like, I get this kind of deer in the headlights thing
when I felt ganged up on and I didn't feel like I'd done
anything wrong necessarily.
Maybe not explaining myself that well.
- Alexis, do you feel like you asked that question
because you wanted to clarify and kind
of step up for your girl?
- Yes, that's exactly why.
In the root of everything, I'm a protector.
- Mm-hmm.
- And that's my friend, and I didn't want it
to be like, she's waiting by the phone, you know?
She's anticipating something that will never come.
So I know sometimes the questions are hard to ask
when you're in the relationship.
So as a third party I mean, it wasn't my business,
but I didn't want my friend to be waiting on something
that would never come.

any more than I already had.
But again, I just ended up--
the pussyfooting only made it worse.

This weekend has been [bleep] awful for me.
I can't do it anymore.
I can't be the punching bag anymore.
- I'm very much in love with her.
I want to continue on with her.
But I don't know.
Sometimes, we like, oh, if we just love each other,
it'll all work out.
And then [bleep] reality just throws it in your face.
Like, no.
- Now, there's something I want to say
that you take away from that--
number one, that you want this relationship.
But Miguel, that was a very different side of you.
What was going on?
- I mean, I've apologized profusely.
I was definitely in the wrong in terms of how
I approached many things.
I was just, like, emotionally, mentally, physically drained.
And being an introvert, I definitely need
those times to recharge.
And I was leaning on you a little bit
to kind of, like, recharge and have moments where I felt
kind of just, like, understood and loved,
I guess, to be honest. - Mm-hmm.
- I mean, what we have to remember
is we were still so new, like,
getting to know each other.
And so it's not abnormal to have these disconnects
and conversations.
And it's a never ending getting to know each other
and understanding each other.
And that's what marriage is.
- Well, then let me ask you about this.
You said these things about Lindy bothered you--
her negativity, her being easily distracted,
and her cutting you off. - Yeah.
- Have you worked through those now?
- Yeah, I'm doing a better job of not taking it
so personally, accepting you for who you are,
and understanding, like, that's part of the package.
And if I want you, then I want it all.
And I want to be there with you.
I want you to feel supported.
But then we've also talked about,
like, OK, that's enough.
Like, let's not dwell too much in negativity.
Let's try to focus on the positives now.
- Lindy, have you continued to improve on the things
that Miguel was talking about?
- Yes, but those are, you know, more surface level
in our relationship. - Yeah.
- I personally have been, like, you know,
just on a new discovery of, like,
growth and vulnerability and self-worth
and being more myself.
And outside of our marriage, like, I'm just personally,
like, evolving as a human, which I think
is helping our marriage in general.
- Mm-hmm.
By the way, have you ever had that moment?
Because you always said Miguel never wants
to see me when I'm really mad.
- Oh, yeah.
- Have you had that really mad moment?
- I think so. - I think so.
- OK. - Got to know!
- Oh yeah, it's happened.
- I always get surprised, though, because I always say,
like, "I think so," and she's like, "Oh no,
you haven't seen it yet." I'm like, oh.
- I think he's felt it because I'm very, like, visceral.
My energy--anyone can feel it from a mile away.
So he's seen it.
We've had some throwdowns. So--
- I think you did a good job of also,
like taking me through your stages of evolution.
- Like, the first one,
I'm like, I'm mad. - Right.
- The second one, I'm like-- [deeper] I'm mad.
And then I'm like, raaah! So--
- So yeah.
- So he's slowly eased up--
- She's like-- yeah, she's warned me
every step of the way.
And so when it finally happened, I was kind of like,
oh, there it is. I see.
- Yeah. - I hear you saying that.
But for every married person, there is a time where you're
with your spouse, and they are going in,
and you're like, whoa. - Yeah.
- I just got to make it to the door right now.
- Definitely, yeah.
And that's what I'm working through
is like, I don't want to be angry.
I don't want to be reactive.
Like, no one wants to live life like that.
- Right. - It's exhausting.
And I think that this process definitely
brought up so much for me.
So that's--yeah, I want to work through
all that stuff. - OK.
Miguel, I want to talk about another thing.
Not picking on you.
I just want to talk about another thing because--

I've had this same discussion. - Yeah.

It was my decision.
Like, Miguel dropped it.
We never discussed it again.
Then one day, I surprised him with my Social Security Card.
And the hyphenation just felt like a perfect combination.
So I just felt like it was a beautiful compromise
that we were able to figure this out

- I loved seeing you interact with him.
It was so cute.
And you really did the brunt of the parenting.
OK, good luck in the cold, cruel world.
See you later.
Good [bleep] riddance, you demon.
[laughs]
- Oh. - OK, here's the thing.
Let's get this straight. - OK.
- I will adore and cherish our human baby.
- Sure.
So that was really the nice send off.
Really, if you could have, that baby would
have gone out the window.
- I would have literally football thrown it,
like, yards.
Like, it was tough.
I'm not going to lie.
But it was, I guess, a good insight to what it will
be like when we have real kids.
- That's what I was going to say.
7What was it like having that child?
- I know it was an inanimate little robot baby.
- Mm-hmm.
- But to me, it was symbolic of our future.
And I know we both want to have kids at some point.
So I just got into it with that mindset of,
you know, just seeing it as that.
- For me, it was really special to see Miguel
with the fake baby.
It was very sweet. It was very sweet.
- With the fake baby.
OK, so, kids in the future for you two?
When? How long?
What are you thinking?
- Yeah, so that, it kind of ties
into the housing timeline-- - Yeah.
- --because we want to get a house
first and then have a child.
So it's going to be maybe a year after we secure a home.
- Yeah.
- God, I love when people plan these things out.
And then we're going to do-- and we're going to do this.
And the next thing you know, you're
like, um, baby on the way. - Yeah.
- Baby on the way. - Baby on the way.
Right? Lindy, how about for you?
When are you ready?
- Yeah. I mean, honestly, like...
I'd be ready tonight.
[laughter]
- I sensed it. I knew it.
I could see it.
She's like, bro, let's go.
- I'm like, are we done here? Are we done here?
- Right.
Miguel, you looked at this as an eight week experiment.
- Is this just a two month experiment for you?
- Right. - Or, like, is this
a real marriage that you want to try to last forever?
- I don't know.
I want this to work, and I'm going to try everything I can.
- Yeah.
- But I don't know the person I'm marrying.
And so we shall see.
- You hit that over and over again.
This is an eight week experiment.
I'll see how it goes.
Lindy, you were very much like, I found my forever love.
- Yeah.
- Now that we're on the other side of this
and Decision Day has come and gone,
how has your mindset changed?
- It's a catch-22.
Going into it again, I wish I wasn't so kind of callous
in the way I expressed it.
But I do appreciate that level of skepticism
I had going into it and being just critical
and more analytical.
When I said yes, I wanted you to know that that was
not just an, OK, sure, yeah.
That was a yes.
Like, let's make this-- let's do this.
- Lindy, when did you really know?
- I would say truly after prom.
- I think that's the thing that's pissing me off--
that, like, kind of [bleep] me.
- I thought you were [bleep] around with me.
But then once I realized you were actually tired,
I was not mad.
How we resolved that and came out stronger after that, like,
I felt really secure because it felt like that was
such a tough point for us,
and we were able to get past it.
And I'm like, that's my person 'cause that's what life is
and that's what marriage is.
Tough point, get past it. Tough point, get past it.
And I felt like that was truly our first real conflict,
and we killed it.
- When you guys resolved that, how did--
what did you see that--
because I'm still trying to understand.
What was your part in that that you saw that you resolved?
- It was understanding him, where he's coming from,
and showing up for him when he is in a dark place.
And I know he would do the same for me going forward.
And I'm better equipped when it happens again
if it happens again.
- I think that you two, everybody's been rooting
for you two since day one.
And I think that as your love story developed,
people were more so excited and invested
and excited to see you guys happy.
It seems like everything is great.
Miguel and Lindy, thanks so much for hanging out with us.
- Thank you. - It is great.
And it's great to get the update
on how everything's going and that it's smooth.

Yeah. - Wait a minute.
Y'all are going to go back and forth for eight months?

we make our own rules now.
So instead of us moving in together--

Is there a concern about moving in her house?
- I feel a little bit more uncomfortable
because I'm outside of my comfort zone.
I live downtown San Diego.
She lives in the suburbs.
So it's just a small adjustment for me.
And it's not like a dealbreaker or anything, but you know,
it's getting more comfortable.
But we agreed upon the going back and forth.
Yeah, it was a compromise from the both of us.
- Let that lease go. - Yeah.
- Have you said that to him?
Have you been like--
- I'm like, I'm trying to be, you know,
very comforting and supportive, and I don't want to push.
- Uh-huh.
- I want him to be comfortable and do it on his own time.
So as long as we're still together in the same home,
I don't mind where we live.
- OK. You two did have
a great connection throughout.
What was it that made you so comfortable with this woman?
- You know, it sounds very cliché,
but she's everything I asked for.
She's nurturing. She's independent.
She's responsible.
Like, that's wifey material.
You know what I mean?
And for me to not be attracted to that would be crazy.
- Yeah, it is a win for you.
And then, you know, Stacia is a boss.
But then you realize that you have maybe met your equal
or met your true partner.
How excited were you about that?
- I was very excited because I was like, there's nobody.
They're not going to find anybody for me.
But when I met him and we had the instant chemistry,
we had the same vision--
he has a lot of ambition.
That's what I asked for.
And I felt like I could connect to him.
- You grilled him for a long time, and--
- Yeah.

- Stacia, how do you feel watching that?

Going into this process, I wanted to be up front.
I wanted to be transparent.
I wanted to put all my cards on the table
because I feel like if we're moving slowly,
then we're not going to get the true essence
of who this person is unless you're all in.
What I was looking for was
an emotional and mental connection.
I can't get that if I'm given surface.
And that's what I was trying to get from him.
- But you're also intense.
And I think we both-- - I am.
- We both had different approaches.
- Yeah. - She went into it
with a mindset to get the answers,
get everything done, and move forward.
- Yeah. - And for me,
I'm a little bit more relaxed.
And then when I feel comfortable, I open up.
So there was just, like, a little tension between us
because sometimes, I'm a little bit slower
to opening up emotionally.
And she is a little bit more resilient with just
having an open dialogue
about insecurities and vulnerabilities.
So you know, my wife needs a lot of attention,
and I realize even though she's a boss
and she's very independent, she needs attention,
and I need to tend to that.
She's my little baby.
- What are you doing well as a couple together,
and what are the challenges?
- I think right now, we are communicating.
Although we're going through hurdles in the marriage,
we're still trying to get to know each other,
we don't stop communicating.
And that is probably the most important thing, I think.
And that's really reassuring for me.
So I think that's really something that we're
doing really well with.
We're compromising.
We always work as a team.
We're always together.
I haven't gotten tired of him.
So I think that that's really good.
we continue to have hard discussions as well.
Things that we can work on?
I would say just opening up more,
being more vulnerable,
connecting on a more emotional, you know, depth.
- You two are amazing.
My EQ is going to be 1,000%.
- Yeah, he's about here on the emotional spectrum,
and I'm over here.
And we're trying to find the middle ground
because it's a lot for him.
And I love a lot. So-- - Yeah.
- We're just trying to find the medium.
- Stacia, do you feel like you're getting more from Nate?
[tense music]
- I feel like I'm getting more than where we were.
But I still feel--
- Are you getting what you want?
- No.
I want more emotional and mental stimulation.
- All right.
- But I also want to understand his point of view.
You can't just shut down on me because then,
I'm like, oh, hell no.
It takes time for him.
He has to feel comfortable.
He has to feel like I'm not going to judge him.
He has to feel like there's a safe space for him.
And I'm like, man, I've been providing this safe space.
Like, what the hell? Open up already.
So I think it's a little bit hard for me.
- Hard for a lot of men. You know that.
It's hard for-- like, in general,
men struggle with that. - Right.
- So I think for me, I have to try and still be patient.
It's still only, you know,
months into this. - Yeah.
- But then with him, I'm just like, give it to me
on a consistent basis. Like, I want it.
I want it. - Yeah, she demands it.
She demands it. - And that's how I connect.
She's, like, really, like, on it.
So that's our battle that we have sometimes.
- Stacia, have you been better at relinquishing control
of things in your life?
- Hell no. [laughter]
Hell no. Hell no.
I be like, look. I'd be like--
she's like, "I want you to step up."
Like, I'm-- and I'm like, "OK, cool."
Like, I'ma cook dinner tonight.

creeping up behind me like, OK.

- Well, because I like to have, like,
thought-provoking conversation.
I like to have the ability to feel like I can

Next up, we have Krysten and Mitch.
You know, at times, it seemed they were doing really well.

Let's bring them out right now--
Krysten and Mitch. Hello, hello, hello.

Let's just-- let's dive right in--

Mitch, the honeymoon.
It wasn't your great and shining moment.
- No.
- I definitely would be comfortable
advancing more in the physical, sexual department.
- I wish I felt a little bit more of that at this point.
And maybe, you know--
I may not be feeling that physical attraction with you.
- What do you remember?
What was your state of mind?
- I think-- in retrospect,
I think I was kind of just having, like,
a drawn-out panic attack.
And I didn't handle it in a great way.
I certainly didn't handle it in a way that
was respectful to Krysten, and I think I was just
freaking out on the inside.
- Krysten, did you have any idea he was feeling this way?
- So we had spent a lot of time together by that point,
and I just was looking for maybe
a hand grab or something.
But I just wasn't getting it.
So yeah, I knew things were off because he was talking
to me all the time, but he wasn't really,
like, touching me at all.
And I just thought that was--
- So what did you think was off?
What did you think was off?
- I don't-- I truly didn't think
that there was a chance
that he wouldn't be attracted to me.
- Sure. - Sorry, but I really--
I don't think I'm Jessica Biel, but I do think
that I bring a lot to the table.
- You're an attractive woman. - Yeah.
So I was a little surprised,
and I didn't really believe him.
I mean, you could see my reaction.
I kind of don't believe it.
- Mitch?
You're not attracted to her, but you're ready to have sex.
- I mean, I'm a guy.
I've got hormones. I've got desires.
And I did know that I just wanted
to show her a little bit of affection,
show her that I'm doing my best,
and show her that I care and appreciate her.
And...
I got turned on. [laughs]
OK, so what happened is basically this.
You know, like, after I got it off my chest,
I could kind of be myself again.
Like, I didn't-- I wasn't hiding anything.
And I'd put it out on the table,
and it allowed me to be myself.
So by the time we went to bed that night, in my mind,
I was like, I really-- you know,
this went better than I thought,
and Krysten really handled me with a lot of grace.
And I want to show just a little cuddle,
a kiss on the cheek, a good night.
And it just-- I just got lost in the moment.
- Krysten, in that moment, what were you thinking?
- So in one instance, I was happy
that he wanted to kiss me, and in the other instance,
I was like, whoa.
What are we doing here?
This is not how it goes.
It's little-- little baby steps.
I wanted more build up, a little bit here,
a little bit there.
And of course, I did want to--
I wanted to continue to build intimacy
and not go from 0 to 100.
- It also made you kind of realize
that all the talk about him not being attracted to you
was BS, right?
- Yeah. I truly to this day--
call me crazy.
I don't believe that he was not attracted to me.
I think that he was overwhelmed and maybe saw
someone who had a little bit more makeup on,
a little bit more dressed up
than the beachy hippie he thought.
- Right. - That's what I think happened.
I don't think he was looking at my face and was like,
this ain't it.

We were doing it.
