Jasmina and Michael
Although this was the day the two decided, I knew it was challenging to get to this place by a meeting. Jasmina and Michael were almost speechless after their first conversation. The couple improved as they became vulnerable to each other as part of the experiment, but this change of heart was not enough to support them in the long run. The two admit that they have not put much effort into their relationship since the decision was made, and Jasmina said that she considers Michael more of a friend than a lover. The former staff has returned to the meeting room, and there does not appear to be any hostility between them.
Katina and Olajuwon
Another couple, Katina and Olajuwon, who divorced on the day of the edict, came to the event in reverse. Olajuwon wanted to be a “normal” housewife, and Katina wanted to work and finish school. Cleaning and cooking. Although many accused Olajuwon of insulting and attacking his new wife, Katina, he continued to give him a chance. Despite what the spectators said, the two looked impressive during the session. Olajuwon liked to interact with people, gladly acknowledging past mistakes and renewing his love for a second proposal with a new (massive) ring.
Lindsay and Mark
The relationship between Lindsay and Mark started well, but the problems began to grow as their relationship progressed. When the camera was on, Lindsey thought Mark was behaving differently, and Mark didn’t like his ex-boyfriend being rude. When you live together, things get worse quickly as the relationship worsens, as you struggle harder and get into more significant problems. Lindsay and Mark sometimes had a choice, but they wouldn’t break up with friends if they met again because they weren’t together anymore.
Noi and Steve
The couple who will be together on the day of the decision is already one. Noi is not yet officially known as Noi Moi. Still, she appears to be negotiating with her husband on the other side after sharing concerns about Steve’s stability and financial situation (who is currently worried about Steve’s absence). Now I spend a lot of time together and want to start a family in a year.
Alyssa and Chris
The only undecided couples were Alyssa and Chris, whom it took two weeks to end their relationship. Knowing that the show was awful, you didn’t spend your honeymoon with someone important to you (like Alyssa, who brutally attacked Chris several times in front of the camera). The ex-husband insisted that the divorce was justified and agreed from the beginning that it was emotionally, cognitively, and physically inappropriate.
