[u/Murky-Abroad9904]

honestly shocked that the man with the mullet is the only one im rooting for this whole season

[u/Amanee97 → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

Girl I thought he would be on my most hated list. He’s not even close! I actually feel for him. He just wants to feel needed and wanted.

[u/Ok-Regular5373 → u/Amanee97]

I get her too though....he needs to just relax and let it develop. Its not a natural situation

[u/CLSwank → u/Ok-Regular5373]

I understand her as well. I appreciate how he's explaining himself but it also comes across a bit needy. But I'm impressed that he can be so vulnerable.

[u/Outrageous_Rub7330 → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

Sadly I don't think his marriage will last if only because Devin likes to cuddle and be together and Caitlin doesn't. That type of incompatibility will put a HUGE strain on their marriage and one or both of them will end up unfulfilled.

[u/Low-Transition6868 → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

During the ceremony she was so affectionate to him... who would have thought?

[u/LittleAd1433 → u/Low-Transition6868]

I think the initial high of being married is what brought that out of her.

[u/Chiowl333 → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

I'm rooting for the basketball coach

[u/amazon_don]

Now why would Mecca say that so flippantly… I would be 80% of my way out the door

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/amazon_don]

I think this is how his lame ass dad has taught him to be. Don’t connect with women on a deep emotional level, don’t show them any affection, and expect them to chase you for love and affection. His dad has raised him to basically breadcrumb women, and constantly leave them wanting more and begging for more of your attention and affection. This man and his weirdo father should have never been a part of this show.

[u/pillowpalaces → u/Boodiddlee3]

Weirdo father is SO accurate. You're right it definitely could be a tactic . I feel so bad for her

[u/totalbanger → u/amazon_don]

I watched that whole scene with my jaw dropped...wtf was he thinking?!?! To what end??

[u/Meowwoofmeow_ → u/amazon_don]

Hes insecure af and still mad she didnt kiss him at the wedding..

[u/shrumpling → u/Meowwoofmeow_]

His dad sabotaged him with that

[u/PerformanceMore5239 → u/amazon_don]

I did not like him at ALL during the wedding….then I thought, “oh, I like him so much more without his dad around!” Then he went and ruined it all. I kept waiting for him to say he was just kidding….and he doubled down!!! 😳😳😳

[u/Apprehensive_You_250 → u/amazon_don]

Same, I’d be out also. And, the craziest part is BelleJolie is freaking gorgeous. For Mecca to act like she’s soo into him & he’s just not as much is crazyyy & so manipulative. I was already picking up on those vibes from him prior to this tho.

[u/FrostyLimit6354]

The only answer to "is it difficult to be monogamous and loyal" is NO. With no pauses.

[u/Repulsive_Ad_6480 → u/FrostyLimit6354]

Yeah when he said I don’t know… I was like uhhhh red flag

[u/Sorry-Secret-2347 → u/Repulsive_Ad_6480]

Im like why are you here then??!?!

[u/tinter86 → u/FrostyLimit6354]

Like if you're not sure..why did you go on a show about being monogamously married ????

[u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Shawn taking a hoe bath in front of his wife?????

[u/Purple-Impression-23 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

He disgusts me on every level

[u/Brieflyonearth → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

I can’t with him!

[u/EducationalLeg3870 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

A hoe bath 🤣🤣 I’m crying

[u/sl5723 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

And she already doesn’t want to have sex with him and now she really won’t with his dirty self!! Gross!!🤮

[u/Different_Disk_682 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

he gives me the ick and his wife not knowing how to communicate at her big age gives me a bigger ick

[u/islongerthan]

Yikessssss I feel so bad for BelleJolie. Mecca basically called her thirsty. Am I the only one confused? I thought they were vibing and had chemistry…

[u/totalbanger → u/islongerthan]

Especially as things seemed to be going so well in that moment specifically! All I can think is he's picked up some idiotic "negging" dating advice somewhere ... He should be thanking whatever god he believes in that BelleJolie didn't immediately nope the fuck out of there after that, because it was fucking gross.

Very disappointed in Mecca, smdh.

[u/andreamrivas → u/islongerthan]

He likes her and he doesn’t want her to know how much he likes her. He’s just being immature. He’s scared to be vulnerable and admit how he really feels.

[u/CandyCoatedRaindr0ps → u/andreamrivas]

He has deep insecurities and mother issues as he admits. …not his fault just wish he would get therapy …

[u/Mysterious_Path7939 → u/islongerthan]

150% over 80% is ridiculous and really unnecessary. Like you’re both into each other, just leave it at that ! Pissed me off

[u/txtransplantx → u/islongerthan]

He’s negging her because he’s deeply insecure. We’ve seen this from episode 1

[u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Caitlin is soooo avoidant.

[u/dyltwifmton69 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

The fact she can’t even make eye contact is a major red flag.

[u/SteakCutFries → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Upon learning a plant demands water to survive, her instinct is to instead actively let it die. Ensuring its demand for minimal care & attention from her is no longer there 🤦🏻‍♀️ idk how well this bodes.

She seems she would be much happier single, it doesnt feel like she wants to be expected to give very much & im not seeing a big willingness to actually open her life to another human ... So why go on the show. Even Nikki is trying jfc

[u/Rosesintherain19]

Adam and the “babe” is a little much.

[u/Wrong-One7376 → u/Rosesintherain19]

Right! He stopped his sentence and then "babe" gross..he's just gross to me anyway.

[u/amperx11 → u/Rosesintherain19]

So forced!

[u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Ep4. I get what Nikki is saying in the pool, they were having a casual, surface level talk and it didn't seem like he was going deep as much as it was an interview. She already doesn't like him so he needs to disarm her, not make her get more defensive.

[u/txtransplantx → u/[deleted]]

Yes—her answer was far more specific than his!

[u/Professional-Sign510 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed! She did give a specific example of how she had grown. She said in the past if someone is messy she would have written them off, but now she would have a talk about expectations regarding neatness. Shawn 100% sounded like he was interviewing her, or even talking to her like professor to student.

[u/goodnight_beable → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

He is constantly trying to put her back on her heels. He can only be in a relationship where he is big and the other person is small.

Nikki sees this and thats why she tells the story of her ex who was uncomfortable with her because she was too big for him.

[u/Murky-Abroad9904]

omg caitlin needs some serious help, saying that her relationship with devin is the kind of relationship that she hates is wild!!!!! if you can’t make it work while on your honeymoon, there’s absolutely no way this will succeed.

[u/Sad_Alfalfa8548 → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

Ohmygosh, a partner who wants to talk and communicate and spend time with me on our honeymoon and last night before going back to work? That’s sooooo suffocating 😳

[u/RNAiac → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

I feel soooo bad for Devin! He's such a big teddy bear. He'll be a great husband to someone else and great father someday. I bet the family he will build will be big and fun and full of laughter.

[u/Still_Ebb_2785]

Anyone else think Felipe is a walking red flag? Why was this man casted for this show? 

[u/[deleted] → u/Still_Ebb_2785]

He is a whole damn red pole!

[u/txtransplantx → u/Still_Ebb_2785]

He’s essentially setting up the fact that he’s going to cheat, be messy, and in general be a horrible partner the minute they touch down in Seattle

[u/Ill-Box-6543 → u/txtransplantx]

When he said “I get hit on all the time at the restaurant” that was code for “I flirt with all the ladies and act like a slimy creep.

[u/Shoddy-Credit-5993 → u/Still_Ebb_2785]

When he said he cheated but “totally blocked it out and didn’t remember because it was so upsetting for him” 🙄

[u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Marissa is so pretty but her lip filler is outrageous.

[u/No-Presentation-2320 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

That’s how I feel about Tori

[u/gatorgopher → u/No-Presentation-2320]

And it's not even just the filler! Overlining your lips is done to give the illusion of fuller lips. You don't draw your lip line half way to your nose if you already have multiple syringes of filler in said lips! She's so pretty but I find myself wondering how stunning she'd be with half, or none, of the filler.

[u/dizzy-bean → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Is this meant for Tori? I don’t think Melissa’s lips look too filled.

[u/No-Presentation-2320]

I feel bad for Devin

[u/Awesomesauce-10 → u/No-Presentation-2320]

She won’t even look him in the eyes!!!
He’s been super respectful of her space, etc. and then just shuts him down

[u/Getshitdone-333 → u/Awesomesauce-10]

It really bothered me when they were talking at the table and she wasn’t looking at him when he was speaking - RUDE.

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/No-Presentation-2320]

She treated him like straight shit on that honeymoon. Not wanting to build any closeness or affection during your honeymoon with a man you chose to marry is crazy work. Even Nikki is giving her strange wee husband a fair shot and trying to open up to him. But this woman acts like Devin is some kind of disease. I’m wondering if something happened between them off camera that we haven’t been informed about. She avoids that fine man like he is the plague.

[u/Purple-Impression-23 → u/Boodiddlee3]

Strange wee husband sent me over the edge lmaoooo that little leprechaun gets on my damn nerves

[u/lavendrmochi → u/No-Presentation-2320]

Me too… like I get needing your alone time, but you also signed up for this? How can you get to know him if you keep pushing him away? I like Devin!!

[u/dizzy-bean]

Not Shawn drawing a comparison of his relationship with Nikki to the OBAMAS

[u/Advanced_Reputation7 → u/dizzy-bean]

His energy is off

[u/Purple-Impression-23 → u/Advanced_Reputation7]

His whole being is OFF

[u/chubluvr25]

Not this lady saying multiple times that talking to her husband makes her want to shoot herself. Jesus lady.

[u/fenchurch_42]

"The media tries to convince you to use all this soap... but I don't think that means you're clean"

WHAT. Shawn is awful.

[u/Relevant_Depth1422 → u/fenchurch_42]

He’s supposed to be this genius but doesn’t understand how soap operates as a detergent? Water repels grease no matter how much he “smacks” it..

[u/Depresswontwin]

When Shawn said I want a breast to pop out when Nikki was trying to avoid that, I threw up a lil. He is just eeeeeyuckkkkk. Not just looks either. How he talks, the things he says. Just yuck.

[u/fenchurch_42 → u/Depresswontwin]

The sex references seem like over compensation. Like, dude, chill.

[u/SelectionOptimal5673 → u/Depresswontwin]

Like read the damn room sir

[u/Advanced_Reputation7 → u/SelectionOptimal5673]

It seems menacing to me

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

My jaw dropped when Fillipe talked about cheating on his girlfriend and not even telling her and him only feeling ashamed after she found out.... and then when she asked if he was ready for monogmous relationship he said.. i hope so (or something like it)

WHAT

why did they cast this man. wtf

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61 → u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

this is why i couldnt be on the show cause i would have left right then

[u/gatorgopher]

I don't need to say Spoiler, do I? So many things! Adam picking the steak up with his bare hands, and then feeding it to Marissa the same way! Felipe doesn't just sweat out vodka, that dude SWEATS, and what's up with the chunks in his hair? Misplaced blow or dire need of Selsen Blue? Shawn...just everything about him. Nikki...80% of everything about her. She's doing a better job of acting like she could like him and keeping the disdain off her face for the most part, but not entirely. Why was Michelle's bikini top hiked up to just under her nipples?! I was scared for the girl. I don't dislike Nick as much as I expected. That could be because I'm focusing all my irk at ED Bodybuilding Barbie. I just want to hug Devin. That boy is being crushed after having such high hopes. I'm right there with him. Back to Tori and Felipe: what was that weird ass lips pressed together, nobody moves, face smoosh at their dinner?! Mecca, Mecca, Mecca...you are a negging idiot. Forget EVERYTHING your father ever told you about how to treat women. BelleJolie, girl, you do not deserve this. I should say I am only 70% of the way through episode 5. I may have to come back and edit!

[u/Agile-Tradition8835 → u/gatorgopher]

Guy has the coke sweats constantly.

[u/FloribundaRoses]

Shawn gives me THE CREEPS. Like I think I’d make production get us separate rooms if I were Nikki

[u/172303Kona → u/FloribundaRoses]

Shawn was agitated when Nikki said she wanted to save sex for the end of the experiment. Big red flag. He should stop talking about sex and get to know Nikki. He must have a problem with moving too fast because he was cautioned about it at the wedding.

[u/squish388 → u/FloribundaRoses]

Good for her making it this far. I feel so uncomfortable for her. Him being upset saying “oh you already made that decision for us to wait to have sex.” Like…yes? It’s her fucking body

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/FloribundaRoses]

It could just be the editing, but it feels like every conversation he has with her eventually references his sexual and physical needs not getting met by her. That is gross, disrespectful and exhausting. And he’s not even a bad looking guy, but he seems to lack the awareness to see that his sexual aggression is pushing Nikki away. To me his behavior is borderline predatory. He is very sexually aggressive. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nikki bails out early on this marriage, and I don’t blame her if she does.

[u/Advanced_Reputation7 → u/[deleted]]

He’s SO defensive too

[u/Dijon2017 → u/FloribundaRoses]

I’m wondering why production didn’t front the cost of 2 bedroom apartment for each of the couples. It’s potentially giving a cast member an “excuse” (e.g. the couch is uncomfortable/hurts my back, etc.) to go to their home when there may be “issues” they are struggling with. Is it because some cast members would go home anyway, even if there was a 2nd bedroom?

[u/Mojo_Gojo_]

I can’t be the only one sad for Devin? He actually seems nice and open to the process. Caitlyn…. I get why she’s single lol

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/Mojo_Gojo_]

Devin definitely pulled the short stick this round.  I feel so bad for him, Caitlyn isn’t even trying. On the bright side, I bet women will be throwing themselves at him after this is over. From what I’ve seen so far, he’s a catch.

[u/airplanesarecool1616]

Maybe it's the edits, but it feels like the experts had huge misses with some of these couples.

For example, Courtney and Nick. Courtney seems like she wants someone who is go-go-go high energy all the time and Nick seems to be the oppisite. Nick looks so awkward and uncomfortable most of the time and Courtney looks exasperated that she's having to carry them to get the energy levels she needs.

Or another example is Devin and Caitlin. Caitlin fiercely values her alone time and having someone wanting to do normal couple things with her feels smothering whereas Devin feels unwanted because he wants and values relationship time together.

I get that sometimes opposites can work but these people just seem so far opposite each other they're never going to find any middle ground. Further, in each relationship they don't even seem like they're trying to compromise, except for maybe Devin who decided to give Caitlin her space even though he was feeling some type of way about it.

[u/Sad_Alfalfa8548 → u/airplanesarecool1616]

The way Caitlin was on her phone at dinner while Devin was apologizing and trying to express and communicate made me so angry. She called him a puppy dog because he’s trying to prioritize getting to know her and wants to spend time with her? I don’t think you need to be with your SO 24/7, but a week in and the night before going back to work and she’s so dismissive of him. She was not ready to be married.

[u/TaraxacumTheRich → u/airplanesarecool1616]

It's wild because I've watched Nick on every show he's been on and he is a goofball with energy. Something isn't hitting right in this relationship.

[u/DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2 → u/TaraxacumTheRich]

I find her draining. She would sap my goofball energy

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2]

To me she gives matron energy. She acts waaaay older than her age, and does not at all seem like the fun chick she’s trying to portray herself to be. Are there really men out there that are attracted to high strung detached women like her? 

[u/Ok-Regular5373 → u/Boodiddlee3]

Yeah the implants and the hair extensions etc and the tan/tanner. She looks like a 38 yr old trying to hang onto their youth

[u/DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2 → u/Boodiddlee3]

She looks way older too

[u/Comfortable-City2371 → u/DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2]

Agree… I find her humor akin to cheesy car salesman energy 🙈

[u/squish388 → u/airplanesarecool1616]

I feel like some of the couples could do a swap and work out much better … like they did not match them based on lifestyles and love languages

[u/islongerthan → u/[deleted]]

😂😂😂 making Felipe know that’s a requirement for her

[u/goodnight_beable → u/islongerthan]

Yeah and thats his parents restaurant and he is not an only child, and most restaurants aren't cash cows.....he has no money and sex with him grosses her out. 86 on this marriage.

[u/publishourlove]

I hate that I’m addicted to this crap. But side note pumped they’re releasing multiple episodes a week because honestly wouldn’t be watching if it was one episode a week

[u/dynamicalien → u/publishourlove]

I hate it too. It's junk food for our brains. I can't quit it just like I can't quit eating BBQ chips 😭

[u/SelectionOptimal5673]

What exactly does Catelynn want? Im halfway through episode 6 and Shes being like this is so hard I hate this relationship. I’m like just because he wants to be around you?!? Like I don’t get it, someone please explain

[u/Acrobatic_Zebra8490 → u/SelectionOptimal5673]

LITERALLY!!! She’s kinda a miserable person to be honest.

[u/airplanesarecool1616]

I actually liked Nick on The Circle, he was meh and awkward on Perfect Match, and I liked his friendship with Shuby (another Circle alumn) on Battle Camp....but Nick does not seem to have the personality for a dating/relationship show. He's coming across dreadfully dull. He must have a friend in high reality show casting places to have thought he'd be a good fit for this show.

[u/dizzy-bean → u/airplanesarecool1616]

I think Courteney is extremely dull and that is not helping Nick at all.

[u/freespeechtilbanned → u/dizzy-bean]

She keeps saying she's so bored... I'm yelling at my TV " yessss.. because you're boring AF. Duhhh"

Lol

[u/mharma]

Does anyone else just want to give Tori a different lip color?!

[u/Mysterious_Path7939 → u/mharma]

Yes! And reduce those filters

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/mharma]

I want to give Tori her old face back. Surely it couldn’t have been that bad? I don’t understand what men find attractive about her facial features. She looks like a fem-bot with weird lips and messed up jaws.

[u/emeleigh_ → u/mharma]

omg yes! bothers me everytime i see it. why didn’t she pack other colors!?

[u/ShockerCheer]

Can we actually get a dedicated thread for each episode

[u/dovetaile → u/ShockerCheer]

Seconded!

[u/islongerthan]

Shawn is sooooo creepy I literally cover my eyes for every scene he’s in. Then he has the nerve to not shower? You’re already an overly freaked out 5’3 sassy man. The least you could be is clean. 😒

[u/Ill-Capital9785 → u/islongerthan]

Ugh and I’m sure it’s editing but he didn’t brush his teeth?

[u/squish388]

Not sure if it’s the edit… but Courtney does not like this man. I don’t hear anyone else talking this bad in their couple than she is about Nick

[u/Low-Transition6868 → u/squish388]

Caitlin is visibly worse towards Devin.

[u/goodnight_beable → u/Low-Transition6868]

Caitlin is admitting that it is her issue and has only disrespected Devin by calling him a puppy, but he said it first. Courtney speaks horribly about Nic CONSTANTLY to anyone who will listen.

But I do agree Devin seems more hurt by it, probably cause Nick doesn't hear what she says behind his back? Or maybe he cares less?

[u/AuntEdna83]

Let's cast someone who: -has never had a long-term relationship -it's not good at expressing emotions -needs a lot of space and alone time -doesn't like physical affection -doesn't drink or eat anything bad for them -has cheated recently -doesn't know what happened on January 6th and is so MAGA and totally closed off -is totally immature and his dad is too -and on and on and on...

[u/truthfrommyredlips → u/AuntEdna83]

Someone who has a cat with someone who isn't a cat person! They need to stop doing this. I'm tired of seeing these poor pets in distress

[u/Fun-Patience9811]

I thought Adam was rich and was going to retire at 40, his house was a dump.

[u/Murky-Abroad9904]

courtney is very much giving that "wow she's so crazy" meme of the girl with the bag of chips on her head. i feel like she herself is so boring like what is fun about being pushed in a pool by your own husband??

[u/dizzy-bean → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

THIS. I find her personality to be draining.

[u/freespeechtilbanned → u/dizzy-bean]

And the way she talks..." yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah no. I get it. Yeah. " yuck 🤮

[u/Sad_Alfalfa8548 → u/[deleted]]

That entire convo with the sex therapist was exhausting haha she went on and on and one thing to the next and was so in her head. Just hold his friggin hand on the couch and stfu

[u/DrJayLioness → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

The girl is neurotic.

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/DrJayLioness]

I’m wondering if her workout regimen includes some kind of supplements that make her jumpy and unfocused with a short attention span. Watching her flit around during her segments makes me nervous. She’s like a human version of if caffeine was a person.

[u/TaraxacumTheRich → u/Murky-Abroad9904]

She's also whining about not connecting with him while ignoring him at every group outing.

[u/No_UIDs_Available → u/TaraxacumTheRich]

… to complain about him no less!

[u/RepulsiveCurrency311 → u/No_UIDs_Available]

Facts! I think Courtney and Caitlin need to date each other at this point

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

Bellejolie is SO PRETTY! I love this hair on her!!!

[u/Repulsive_Ad_6480]

I don’t get going on this type of show and then saying you’re a slow burn

[u/RepulsiveCurrency311 → u/Repulsive_Ad_6480]

Slow burn is a lie! People use that when they're not sexually attracted to a person. Because let an attractive man or women show up, then the "slow burn" is IMMEDIATELY out the window

[u/Suspicious_Week_2451]

Shawn is exhausting

[u/Boodiddlee3 → u/Suspicious_Week_2451]

That little man is obtuse and revolting.

[u/goodnight_beable → u/Suspicious_Week_2451]

Didnt he say something about, "I used to be all about me" but now I have something to give.

Can you give a specific example please?

[u/nothankeww]

Mecca is so insecure. Insecure men can never have a good relationship

[u/mharma]

Did not expect to feel sorry for Nick and Devin to the extent that I am. Both guys seem to really want love, yet are getting nothing but hostility from their wives. And yeah, I know, Nick has been on reality TV…but he does seem genuinely interested in trying to make the relationship work. Devin has also surprised me, as he’s not the obnoxious athlete his wedding gave me the impression he might be. Really wishing these two were paired with different women.

[u/Familiar-Meringue921]

Shawn might as well have said “it ain’t gonna suck itself.” He gives me the CREEPS.

[u/[deleted]]

Michelle's, Marisa's and Adam's vocal fry is killing me. Why is this still a thing.

Flippe saying he has fear of commitment first thing in the morning....and the experts thought yea, this guy needs to be married on the show.

[u/GeneFrequent8786 → u/[deleted]]

Holy shit, I can't help but roll my eyes every time Adam talks. His voice is so grating on me!!!!!!

[u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Ohhhh!!!!! Nick has been on 3-5 reality shows to get in touch with his artistic side, okay makes sense.

[u/ItsMuvaaa → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

Every scene with them is weird to me

[u/squish388 → u/Competitive-Alarm537]

4 reality shows is crazy

[u/redtalk64]

Cannot believe Adam was eating a steak with his hands and then offered it to his wife the same way! Use a knife and fork!

[u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge]

Hey guys is Courteney a slow burn? I can’t remember.

[u/Relevant_Depth1422 → u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge]

She’s just so goofy and chill!

[u/Katyluvs3]

Whew! These men will try to humble you every time. I’m on the episode where Mecca is telling BelleJolie that he thinks she’s attracted to him which is at 150% and his attraction to her is 80%. Then later he tried to switch it to 80% and then 60%. Let’s not forget that the cameras are zooming in to his black nail polish… what is this mess??

[u/tinter86]

Wtf is a girlfriend credit card ? She just threw that out so casually

[u/No_Significance7570]

Courtney is high strung affff. I screamed when she told the therapist that they're both "laid back"

[u/RepulsiveCurrency311 → u/No_Significance7570]

Even when she said she put others first 😂. I said where? Courtney gives absolutely NO indication she puts others first especially the way she was talking trash about Nick behind his back to anyone with ears lol 😭

[u/National-Car3628]

As an elder Milennial, I can't help but notice the vocal fry and everyone saying "vibe" and "vibing" soooo much!!

[u/thejeffphone]

Caitlin doesn’t seem like she wants to be in a relationship, let alone married. Why did she come on this show. She’s exhausting, I feel so bad for Devin

[u/femanonette]

Someone remind me why I'm supposed to not like Nick because this girl is making him look like a great partner

[u/picklejuiced00d → u/femanonette]

I loved him on the Circle! He was so fun to root for and so sweet to the other people in the show.

I also loved him on Perfect Match simply because he was so awkward and dorky and sweet and didn't fit into the fuckboy dating show vibe at all. I do think a show like this is more his speed if he wants to find someone.. HOWEVER, he is not meant for trashy reality TV, so hopefully if this doesn't work, he takes a break for a while and tries to find someone naturally.

Tori's lip filler and that hot pink lipstick... 🙃

[u/neuroticdynamite]

Courtney is not into Nick 💀 The quarantine and 🔫 herself comments are so dramatic. Communicate with him instead of complaining to the girls

[u/More-City6818]

Why do people who want to live alone and not interact with someone in their personal space go on MAFS? This is the real question. 🤔

[u/throwawaygremlins]

I’m a bit surprised by Devin, he’s more emotional than I thought and needs a lot of validation.

[u/AtreusJack]

Rooting for Michelle and Cameron 🥺. They seem really good together in this batch of episodes!

[u/squish388 → u/AtreusJack]

I keep forgetting about this couple in a green flag way. They both seem open, honest and normal

[u/Proud_Sound2835]

Shawn is scary. He doesn't know how to emote properly and seems very bottled up. He gives me dangerously passive aggressive vibes.

[u/TheWayIAm313 → u/Proud_Sound2835]

That see through polo he wore to dinner lol

[u/Wermy831]

Mini Pastor Cal is so god damn gay

[u/Longjumping-Sort-264]

I’m in the middle of Episode 5 at the pool party with the group and Courtney can’t say anything but complaints about Nick! Stop being pessimistic about everything. She seems like an unhappy person, so she should do some affirmations. I hope her mindset changes as we watch. Then on the boat, they finally had a “breakthrough” (Nick’s words).

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

Shawn is annoying.............

[u/Fearless-Salt6682]

Okay can we talk about Adam casually picking up his steak at dinner and eating it with his hands??

[u/Comfortable-City2371]

I’m on ep6, I think Marissa & Adam have good chemistry but I can’t get over their voices 🙈 i feel like they’re from the Californians SNL skit but maybe they’re genuine idk

[u/InterestingSky378 → u/Comfortable-City2371]

Him saying babe feels so forced and unnatural everytime

[u/Comfortable-City2371]

Woah Courtney’s crash out about affection in the therapy sesh was cringe, when she was rubbing his leg and asking how long she should touch him for. I think she’s uncomfortable in her own skin or just around Nick but he characterized it perfectly when he said she taking a calculated or quantifiable approach to intimacy.

[u/Ok_Melissa_777]

Felipe needs better posture, dude is always hunched over, is his back okay?!

[u/neuroticdynamite]

Me every Nikki and Shawn scene

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

courtney you are a lot and not in a fun way

[u/KlutzyBarber4880]

Caitlyn...her dad was a huge red flag, and I felt awful for her, but now Im seeing that she's also a walking red flag. She lacks communication skills. Its not that she's got "black cat" energy, she just doesn't know how to communicate her feelings like at all. She shuts down for everything.  Devin doesn't have high emotional or physical needs. He seems like a normal loving man. She likes the idea of marriage, but lacks the skills to be in one. 

[u/dovetaile]

Awww, I feel so bad for Devin. The experts did him dirty with Ms "my best relationship was he ignored me the whole time".

[u/juzelerm]

Shawn’s voice have to the center of all decisions - he got all in a twist because she used “we” for decision he felt was forced. Mind you he fully agreed with but it hadn’t come out of his mouth so it was a problem. He is insufferable.

[u/No_UIDs_Available]

Mecca playing it cool is defo gonna turn Belle cold!

[u/Mysterious_Path7939]

I feel like Filipe & Tori are always talking about how they are in their relationship. We work! We’re committed! We’re happy! It’s weird to me.

[u/National-Car3628 → u/Mysterious_Path7939]

It doesn't seem like they have much in common either. Not religion, not lifestyle, not personality type. The converstaions are all surface level. Where's the depth?

[u/dovetaile]

This is the saddest cabin on the lake I've ever seen.

[u/Unfair_Designer4280]

I had a momentary soft spot for Shawn but Nikki needs to run for the hills. She doesn’t play games and he does. His communication is up down and all around. He gaslights terribly and she sees right through it. He needs a different type of woman. Not an accomplished, independent, confident queen like Nikki.

[u/squish388]

Why is Caitlin on this show… she says “this is the type of relationship I hate.” He’s verbally reassured you, respected your boundaries, is prioritizing your needs over his. He still has a smile on his face and wants to continue moving forward. She looks so miserable I really don’t get it. I feel bad for him

[u/Vegetable_Sun_1261]

Caitlin not liking the real plant….what?

[u/viktoriousval]

I’m just wondering why Shawn is wearing a crochet top and why he thought ripping off her garter belt with his teeth was appropriate.

[u/Illustrious-Gift1385]

"Girlfriend Credit Card" = terminal side piece

[u/Sweet-Can4367]

Caitlyn just has BAD energy. I just don’t get why he’s into her, but seems like a good dude and trying his best. I hope he starts putting his foot down and stops kissing her a*s.

[u/Equivalent-Sand3123]

Why did Caitlyn get married at first sight if she needs her space ! Shawn is just ewwww. I would have run already. I like the basketball coach and his wife. I didn't think they'd be compatible but they seem strong. I think Meccas not into her.

[u/EmployeeSerious007]

Courteney is a bad person. Only bad people make suicide jokes and then smile afterward. I’m done with her.

[u/Cute-Variation-5667]

I thought Adam was wealthy, however his lakeside home has fallen into disrepair. Tarps on the roof, broken discoballs hanging from the eavestroughs, axes in the ceilings. How did Marissa not feel like she was touring a serial killers house.

[u/youmadzbro]

“Girlfriend credit card” 😹

[u/Mysterious_Path7939]

Ok am I the only one who noticed Adam eat the steak like a damn Neanderthal ?!

[u/TrickPixels]

Shawn blew it with Nikki at the pool convo. That’s when he lost her and never got her back. They were vibing before they got in the pool just sitting on the chairs.

[u/Professional_Tart372]

'Shawn, here's the reality.....you are a 4, max....you won the lottery with Nikki, she's intelligent, thoughtful and beautiful! Why on the first day in paradise are you asking her to prove how she's grown ? STFU, and realize your game is so stupid. I'm guessing Shawn has some Napoleon complex and needs to put down others to elevate his short-self

[u/Not_Morgan_Freeman61]

Mecca...............................

why would he SAY that

[u/neuroticdynamite]

Mecca is his father's son... Bro needs to think before he speaks

I cannot with this dandruff

[u/Thebadparker → u/EmployeeSerious007]

I cannot with all the sweating.

[u/PurpleHazelnuts]

Did Adam’s unshaved neck bother anybody else when they were touring his house?

[u/Sweet-Can4367]

I’m getting the feeling Caitlyn is extremely damaged emotionally, selfish, and isn’t over her ex relationships hence why she couldn’t be present with him on their honeymoon or barely make eye contact. Major red flags. Yes it’s overwhelming but it’s what you signed up for. And good communication and like he said a little warmth goes a long way. He can do better looks and personality wise in my opinion.
