Got Orion mixed with Michael briefly. Orion attractive.  The Native American thing could be really intriguing.   

They look alike enough that they could be brothers. I think Orion and Lauren could work if they’re equally receptive to exploring each other’s cultures. Lauren would prefer a Black man, I think, but Denver’s Black population is small (a quick search tells me it’s about 8% Black), as she noted. My best friend lives there so I’ve visited a bunch, and it’s definitely very white. Also kind of crunchy (the weed), and there’s an outdoorsy bro-y vibe too.

So sad for her that she lost her mom. I don’t know when this was filmed but the way she said “in April” makes me think it’s less than a year, which is no time at all.

Emily’s “friends” hate her, particularly the one with the big teeth who kept calling her selfish. Like, there’s a group chat without her in it. Emily is … kind of homely (the blonde doesn’t suit her), and also kind of annoying. I wasn’t crazy about her husband either, who apparently thinks staying in toxic situations is ideal?

MAFS thought that they were successful with Amelia and Bennett, but again, they were BOTH in on the joke - performance art!

Amelia and Bennett were the same kind of artsy hippie type. They were a good match even though they didn’t work out. I felt this way about Mitch, the environmentalist - his environmentalism is such a big part of who he is that he needs to be with someone who is as all-in about it as he is. Similarly, Michael is a pretty specific type of guy who needs a pretty specific type of woman. He knows it too - he said something like “I know I’m a lot,” or “I know I present differently” or something. He doesn’t come across badly at all - he seemed really intelligent and nice and he also seemed to have friends who care deeply about him, which is a good sign. I’d be friends with him but his aesthetic doesn’t appeal to me.

I read somewhere that the three experts have nothing to do with the picking.

I think they match from a producer-selected pool. I doubt Pastor Cal is DMing people on social media or messaging people on dating apps asking them to apply.
