‘Bastiaan could have been better matched with his mother-in-law’

#Bastiaan #matched #motherinlaw

Cohabitation has started for all couples Married at First Sight. Now it comes down to it: who has a fear of contamination and who leaves their dirty underpants lying around? The roles are immediately clearly divided: Suzanne wants complete control in her kitchen, ‘otherwise it will be a mess’. Erik is served wonderfully by Gerben and Jantine stocks up on cleaning supplies for Jeppe’s bachelor household. Still, I think everyone behaves nicely. Although: Malou’s statements at the couples dinner do not deserve a beauty prize. “One evening he is going to compare the death of his father with the sorrow I have caused him. Sorry, then you are not in the right mind.”

Leave those old cows in the ditch, please. Malou does not want to sit opposite Sarath during dinner. Childish, yes. Whatever happened, Sarath shows that he is the adult in this relationship. Malou can learn something from that.

A turnaround for Jerney and Jeffrey

But nice things also happened. It seems more and more like love will happen this season. Jeffrey fits perfectly into Jerney’s life with her two boys, who can’t wait to play games together. Everyone enjoying pizza, squealing for Jeffrey’s carnival costume – what could possibly go wrong? Well, appreciating marriage on couples weekend for example. Jeffrey gives his marriage an 8. “Oh dear,” Jerney laughs awkwardly. “For me it’s really a 9.5.”

Carlo wants to know why it is not yet 9 for Jeffrey. “Because you don’t really know each other yet and there is no crush,” Jeffrey admits. Oh dear. If I were Jerney I would have wanted to disappear under the table on the spot. But it seems like one romcom, because a few days later Jeffrey spent an hour and a half in the car to tell Jerney that he is indeed in love with her. Yes, how nice is this? Jerney is beaming from ear to ear. “That’s how I feel, actually,” she says before the two kiss each other almost flatly. This is what we all go for MAFS to look?

Glitter book full of feelings

Finally we see some more of David and Kim. The two have not had contact since the honeymoon. Um, sorry? What happened there? Kim doesn’t look happy. She has written down her feelings in a glitter book. “You didn’t ask for my number or reach out in any other way,” she begins. “I have experienced moments of loneliness in recent days.” Kim cries. Oh gosh. David bounces the ball back: “You didn’t contact me either.” Ouch. Kim and David’s marriage was not full of love, but this is a new level. Fortunately, the two reach an agreement. They missed each other and are putting this behind them. Living together starts with David and his mother, who, despite his promise that he would treat her to a holiday, is still at home. “But I’m not such a meddling mother-in-law,” she reassures Kim. Nevertheless, no one is allowed in David’s bedroom for the time being magic happenen, am I scared. Despite the three guitars Kim has. Why doesn’t David play her a song to make Kim swoon? Wasn’t she so crazy about his song sung in that bear he gave her for her wedding? David, don’t forget your music!

Mother-in-law is over

Although the rhythms of Jeppe and Jantine could not be further apart, living together is very pleasant. When Jeppe is still in his bathrobe, Jantine is already showered and ready for the gym. Once dressed, he goes looking for flowers for Jantine and actually picks out the flowers himself at the florist. What an ideal man, that Jeppe! Jantine sees it immediately when she enters: “Flowers!” She beams and Jeppe gets a big kiss. The two are having a nice chat together. He has to look for a new car, she gives tips such as paying attention to fuel consumption. He doesn’t listen to that, but that doesn’t matter, because they have the most fun together. Then we visit Jeppe’s parents. He immediately warns her: “My mother can be very good judgy [veroordelend, red.] .” He puts her hand on her leg to reassure her. Jantine immediately gets a big hug from her father-in-law. This gives me a good feeling, one big happy family. Jeppe’s mother turns out to be okay. She is very happy with Jantine: “A fantastic partner for Jeppe, as I see it.” Well, mother-in-law is over!

It continues to flow between Erik and Gerben. I have to chuckle at Erik’s family, who puts Gerben in his place. He just drinks coffee from the machine. “You just get used to it,” his sister-in-law snaps at him. “We don’t have tubs here.” A little resistance is allowed, because Erik often puts Gerben to work. Like a little prince, he is served in the morning by Gerben, who serves an extensive breakfast. Erik doesn’t bring a plate to the kitchen yet. Then it’s off to the hardware store: the bedroom needs painting. The two have a lot of fun, I have to give them that. Only when they have collected all the things does Gerben notice: “He will also wear something, you know,” he complains.

During the couples dinner we see what goes wrong between these men. Carlo wants to know from Erik about the physical attraction. “Not yet,” says Erik. I am speechless. How can you not find Gerben handsome? They don’t make them prettier than Gerben, you know! But this is what it’s all about: Erik doesn’t find Gerben attractive. Hence taking it easy. But Erik remains hopeful: “Just give it time, I think it will turn out fine.” I hope so with you, Erik.

Torture at Bastiaan and Suzanne

If I’m honest, Bastiaan and Suzanne living together is torture to watch. “Do you already have an idea what you are going to do in Amstelveen?” Suzanne asks before she goes to work at home and almost chases him out the door without breakfast. While she lives there and knows the way. I don’t think it’s nice that she leaves Bastiaan to his fate like this.

He wants to get a present for her mother. Well, what an ideal son-in-law! Bastiaan takes the tram and goes to breakfast first. Then on to Suzanne’s mother, who could not be a greater opposite of her daughter. While Suzanne examines her nails, Bastiaan and his mother-in-law sit on the couch and scream together. Bastiaan could have been better matched with his mother-in-law. But she also does not see the love radiating from her daughter and son-in-law. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can ignite the flame in Suzanne. Bastiaan’s cuddly toy Hugsy is especially a thorn in her side: “My sexual attraction almost freezes when he talks about that cuddly toy.” Well. I would say: Bastiaan, take your loss. I would rather sleep with Hugsy than with someone who makes me shiver.
