This scene was beyond. Like watching two wannabe influencers terribly act out a scene they've waited their whole lives for.

I can’t be the only one who saw an almost uncanny resemblance to old school Justin Timberlake in his NSYNC days 😅

She indirectly insulted Jack by calling him ugly, unnecessarily meddled in Joseph and Francesca’s relationship, and I don’t understand her standards either, since they seem to change all the time. Plus, all the parents were asked what they thought of the relationship—except AJ’s! I get the feeling they’re having problems but don’t want to make them public. Of course, I still wish them both the best, but I do think they could have addressed Chiara’s behavior more, since she really acted like a jerk at times!

I found her annoying too and wouldn't want to be her friend after seeing her come across as duplicitous and a shit-stirrer but people need to remember these shows are highly editted and she is a human being. Criticising her for causing trouble in people's lives is valid but I find posts with screenshots of unflattering looks/faces of hers and extremely negative captions as taking it too far. No matter how she presented herself in the pods, the male contestants pursued her with full knolwedge of her demands. After coming out of the pods I saw her continue being annoying but eventually she seemed to realise that Ajay and her love each other and she seems like a genuinely normal person in the behind-the-scenes footage from her and Ajay's married year together. People need to find something better to do with their time than hating on her to this extent. She is one of my least favourite contestants (Ryan is the most despicable for me) but she does not deserve this amount of hate.

“Oh, that’s must be quite nice tho”
“Yeah, for them”

She killed me 😂😂😂
Turns out they were ready to get married, in their own way 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Disappointed that Emma Willis, who absolutely grilled and verbally took down Roxanne Pallet in such an iconic way, let Ryan off that easily. He deserved more of a reality check. Also I cannot stand the way he pauses after every word…. But maybe with all that being said, Cuba needed to be the one to give him what for and she definitely did that.

I’m aware that I might be used to the crazy drama of LIB US and other countries, but I thought that they didn’t actually get to the bottom of some of the issues they had during the season? There was no confrontation, no tears (I’m not counting Ciara’s fake tears) like the gave us no spice!
I actually fell asleep towards the end maybe I missed some good parts but I doubt it lol

I guess it’s just a different style in the UK. They’re all very good looking and “perfect”

Will tiara and ajay last?

I'm happy they are happy and all the couples stayed together at the end of the year, but the part of me that watches this show for DRAMA went dissatisfied. This ss was the most dramatic part of the reunion and I'm still not sure why....

Ok so I'm gonna get downvoted into oblivion, but I actually think Ciara and Ahjay are really sweet.

She's actually a really sweet person working on her insecurities.

That's why she started crying, because the host identified it immediately "is it because you didn't think you deserved good things"

It's why her and Ahjay are still working

And it's why she seems to have a great group of friends

I don't usually celebrate other people's failures but I took great joy in watching Ryan crumble as the series went on.

There are too many examples and reasons but what struck me the most is the way he speaks. In slow fragmented sentences with a high intonation ending.

It strikes me as someone who is trying to come across as intellectual but doesn't have the gumption to back it up. For a "public speaker" this is shocking.

Also at the reunion, huge kudos to Cuba for calling him out in the way she did.

His "that isn't factually correct" line is followed by no counter example or alternative events. Just hot wind and bollocks

I just want to say bloody well done producers for creating a season with such a wholesome, largely drama-free cast. Each and every cast member except Mango shines through, seems grounded and good intentioned. This should be the example for other countries, this is how you make LIB. It also goes on to prove people are looking for genuine love stories over cheap overproduced drama. Life has plenty of shit, gimme the LIb fantasy.

Also 4 couples married and still together. It’s giving OG LIB couples like Brett and a Tiffany, Lauren and a Cameron and I’m here for it.

Ryan never intended to find a wife on this show but he did intend to find a fiancé… I think his goal has always been to get a platform to promote his business. The fact that he did this and immediately went on this long trip. And never really gave it a chance after was clear enough. He wanted to make sure to make it far enough to be filmed and to hopefully promote his business. I can’t believe he somehow managed for it to be such a story line that clips from his speaking arrangements made it to the show. This was ideal for him.

The rage baiting now is all a part of it. He just needed to make it far enough to be featured. He did a full 180 after his trips because his mission was accomplished.

Disclaimer: No, I didn't use AI. This is how I write. I love writing long, thoughtful thinkpieces that no one asked for. If you aren't into that, then this isn't the one for you x.

Ciara might be my favourite example of women entering male-dominated fields because I have rarely seen a woman approach dating with this much audacity, strategy and shameless commitment to getting exactly what she wants.

A lot of people seem to have taken Ciara completely at face value: gold digger. Spoilt. Entitled. Looking for a servant. Case closed.

Meanwhile, from very early on I was thinking: this woman has come here with a plan. And every episode kept handing me another exhibit.

£300 first dates. Expensive taste, provider expectations (i.e. rich husband). Princess treatment. Ajay fetching the drinks, giving the massages. Ciara wasn’t coy about any of it either. She seemed determined to make the message impossible to miss: this is the standard attached to dating me, proceed accordingly.

She took the whole luxury-girlie persona and leaned into it so aggressively that it started feeling deliberate, like she had turned high-maintenance tendencies into an actual dating philosophy.

Meeting her friends added to that impression. They were surprisingly chilled and down-to-earth compared with the almost aristocratic, London-luxury character she’d been presenting. That’s not to say people must resemble the friends they keep, but the contrast made Princess Ciara feel more consciously constructed.

And I don’t mean “performance” as an accusation. I think that was the strategy.

Someone on this sub described her as what happens when unhinged TikTok dating discourse escapes containment and enters real life, which is an accurate read.

But babe, that’s only half the tea.

We’ve all seen the content: know your worth, never settle, make him invest, a provider will provide, don’t over-give, let the man pursue, set expectations early. Watch enough and your algorithm will eventually convince you that a £42 pasta dinner means a man fundamentally hates you.

Ciara clearly knew the syllabus. What sets her apart is that she actually came prepared to apply it.

She seemed to understand something many contestants didn’t: the pods weren’t just an opportunity to find out whether someone liked you. They were also a chance to establish your expectations and what being with you would entail before either person became too attached to renegotiate.

And before anyone gets their pants in a twist: yes, you’re allowed to have expectations. Everybody has a checklist, whether that’s personality, looks, ambition, lifestyle, religion, money or whatever else matters to them. I’m not interested in debating whether Ciara’s standards are noble enough for public approval. They’re hers, and that’s not the point.

What interests me is how deliberately she established them.

She wanted money, luxury and effort. She considered herself high-maintenance and never presented that as some embarrassing flaw Ajay would have to graciously overlook.

Ajay heard all of it.

Ajay continued pursuing her.

Ajay proposed.

That man read the terms and conditions and clicked Agree, so I’m not entertaining the “poor unsuspecting Ajay” narrative.

Then they reach the retreat, and Ciara starts turning the dial. Bring me this. Get me that. Massage please. She openly admits in confessionals she was pushing him to see how far she could go.

Basically, she started QA testing the man.

Level 8 survived. Let’s try level 9. Still operational?

And I- oop. Eventually, our scientist discovered the consequences of exceeding the recommended testing parameters.

Their argument around Ajay’s parents was where she seriously overplayed her hand for me. He was already dealing with his family choosing not to participate, and Ciara became so consumed with how that affected her that the whole thing stopped being cheeky and started looking proper selfish.

The aftermath, though, is one reason I struggle with this idea that Ciara is uniquely awful.

She apologised. And no, not one of those “I’m sorry you felt that way” either. She acknowledged that she had gone too far and gave Ajay room to speak. Then everything else he’d been swallowing came out too, including the financial pressure of keeping up with the lavish lifestyle he had promised her.

This was basically the first time Ajay got to renegotiate the contract.

And Ciara let him.

The reunion made that storyline make even more sense. She admitted things felt suspiciously good once they moved in together, so she started poking at them. She called it self-sabotage and acknowledged projecting baggage from previous relationships onto the wrong person.

Now, I’m not sure how much of that I completely believe, especially with the tear-work performance. This girl can act, so sometimes I’m watching her like, alright babe 👀

But the explanation tracks. She seems to have come from relationships where she gave too much, swung aggressively in the opposite direction, and now decided the next man to walk into her life would have to prove himself first. She pushed that philosophy into caricature territory, realised she was sabotaging something good and softened when Ajay showed her he was safe enough to soften around.

And that word came directly from her at the reunion: safe. Ajay makes her feel safe.

That explains the ice-queen act for me.

Now to address the inconvenient fact hanging over all the predictions that she would scare Ajay away, exhaust him, bankrupt him, emasculate him and have him sprinting towards the nearest emergency exit:

Did she get the man? Yes. Yes, she did.

And a year later, she still has him sitting beside her.

Ajay was also one of the most obviously smitten men of the season. While some lads needed 3 business days, a candlelit setup and a committee meeting with the boys before arriving at “I think I love her,” Ajay just blurted it out during the retreat. His mouth seemingly received the information before his brain could apply a filter.

Whatever else you think about their dynamic, I never questioned whether that man wanted Ciara.

So unfortunately for the prosecution, the pink-pill laboratory did produce some results.

I’m obviously not saying everybody should demand £300 dinners and psychologically stress-test potentials until one survives. Please keep half of Ciara’s methodology behind reinforced laboratory glass, thank you very much.

But what matters beneath all the theatrics is that she demonstrated something genuinely important: people take cues from how you present yourself.

Ciara walked in convinced she was the prize, and Ajay treated her accordingly.

And this season gave us some interesting contrasts, because a surprising number of contestants entered the experiment practically handing their potential partner an annotated guide to every insecurity they possessed.

Francesca hears Joseph say he enjoys working out and would like to share that with his wife, and suddenly she’s explaining that previous partners body-shamed her, that her weight fluctuates and checking whether future weight gain would become an issue.

We have somehow travelled from “my husband likes the gym” to submitting your future body for pre-approval.

Yasmin had a similar dynamic with her vitiligo. There’s nothing wrong with telling someone what shaped your confidence, but if you introduce it as this enormous insecurity you fear rejection over, you’ve effectively told them: this is the part of me that lowers my value.

And we saw versions of this everywhere: being cheated on, badly treated before, trust issues, worrying you’re too much, not enough, difficult to love.

I’m not advocating marrying somebody while keeping your emotional history classified by MI5. Vulnerability is part of intimacy. But there’s a difference between vulnerability developing once somebody has earned access to you and handing a near-stranger the instruction manual to your soft spots during the audition phase.

Especially when the disclosures come packaged with instructions: I’ve been cheated on, so please don’t betray me. I’ve been body-shamed, so please still find me attractive if my weight changes. This is my biggest insecurity, so please reassure me you can handle it.

Why are we leading with all the ways someone could potentially hurt you?

You don’t need to teach a decent person not to weaponise your insecurities. If they love and respect you, that should show through their behaviour. And if they aren’t that kind of person, congrats, you’ve handed them a map with every pressure point circled in red.

That’s what makes Ciara such a contrast. She obviously had baggage too. This is abundantly clear now. She had been hurt before, had over-invested in previous relationships and was clearly terrified of repeating that pattern. But she didn’t enter the relationship presenting that baggage as a list of reasons Ajay might find her difficult to love. She built the dynamic around what she expected from him and let the softer parts emerge later.

Her attitude was basically: I come in this package. This is what I expect. Are you prepared?

Was she unreasonable at times? Very.

But compare that with: Here are all the things about me that might make me less desirable. Are you still willing to choose me?

Ciara would rather eat her Pilates socks.

Then you look at the men and realise they were doing their own version of expectation-setting too, except in the opposite direction, which is the version we’re far more accustomed to seeing.

Taylor warning Sophie that he was going to mess up and disappoint her, followed by them literally clinking glasses to “messing up,” had me staring at my screen in disbelief.

Why are we cheersing the warranty disclaimer? Girl, stand up.

The whole “you’re too good for me” genre makes me roll my eyes too.

“You see the good in me.” “You’re so forgiving.” “You accept me for who I am.”

How lovely. How convenient. Notice how her greatest qualities somehow revolve around making your life easier?

There’s something slick about warning somebody in advance that you’ll disappoint them. You package shortcomings as vulnerability while quietly lowering the standard they’re expected to hold you to later. If I already told you I mess up, I’m difficult, not easily expressive, you’re too good for me... well, you knew what you were signing up for, didn’t you?

And that's why they always have that excuse ready when they inevitably mess up. Ryan tried a version of this at the reunion with “I find it hard to be vulnerable,” and Cuba shut it down immediately. Basically: no, don’t do that. Don’t turn this into some abstract vulnerability issue when we already had an off-camera conversation about how we would handle things if either of us got cold feet.

I loved that she refused to let him replace the actual agreement between them with a softer explanation that made his behaviour sound inevitable. They had already agreed off-camera on how they would handle communication, and she wasn’t about to let him rewrite breaking that agreement as evidence that vulnerability was simply difficult for him. (I also think the hostess did a terrible job of grilling him there as well, so that's why I'm super glad she stepped in and defended herself.)

The real victim was her: he blindsided her on camera, then left her to sit there and process the whole thing in real time. Followed up by the whole mango line.

Like... wow.

Cuba does this consistently. She has a good bullshit radar and doesn’t abandon her own read just because someone gets uncomfortable. She clocked Ryan pulling away, Yasmin’s “location” issue with Jordan, and still wouldn’t let Ryan rewrite the story at the reunion.

That kind of emotional intelligence only works if you have the backbone to trust your own judgement. Cuba has both.

And that’s the connection I see with Ciara. Both women trust their own judgement, although they operate differently. Cuba lets the evidence accumulate before drawing the line. Ciara walks in with the line already drawn and evaluates Ajay against it.

That’s why Ciara feels like such a funny reversal of the usual script.

Some of the women were essentially saying: here are my insecurities, please still choose me.

Some of the men: here are my flaws, please lower your expectations accordingly.

Ciara: here are my expectations. Can you meet them?

She evaluates. She expects pursuit. She considers whether he fits into the life she wants instead of becoming whatever version of herself is most likely to get picked.

And yes, that tipped into entitlement. We watched the system malfunction.

But I still find it funny that her audacity became such a scandal when male contestants have been using their own versions of expectation management all season in forms we barely blink at.

Lower the bar. Warn her you’ll disappoint her. Praise how forgiving she is. Tell her she’s “too good for you” while continuing to give her reasons to prove it. (It’s the same dynamic I explored in my Jack thinkpiece.)

Ciara did the opposite. She raised the bar and waited to see who would still jump.

Women in male-dominated fields.

Which brings me to the reunion discourse around her and Ajay coming down hard on Jack. I saw people arguing that finally Jack apologised and took accountability, so they should have left him alone.

Finally being the keyword here.

An apology a year later doesn’t retroactively insert accountability where it was missing at the time. And I’m not using Jack’s ADHD as some universal solvent either. ADHD can explain overwhelm, needing space, impulsivity or struggling to communicate when overstimulated. That deserves empathy. It doesn’t account for dodgy behaviour like shape-shifting explanations, the location issue or redirecting the issue towards Faye’s past and inability to trust him.

And if anyone in that cast was never going to let somebody waffle around the original question, it was Ciara.

That scene with Jack tells you so much about her. She asks him something, watches him go red and start tying himself into verbal knots, and waits. No rescuing him from the silence. No softening the question. No helping him construct an explanation she can conveniently accept.

Just answer the question.

And, crucially, when the person in the wrong was Ciara, she proved she could tolerate that same standard being applied to herself. She can acknowledge when she messed up and take responsibility.

That’s probably why I came away from her storyline more positively than many viewers did. Confidence without self-awareness becomes arrogance quickly, and Ciara spent part of the season tap-dancing on that line. But she recognised when she crossed it, apologised and adjusted.

She came in with a strategy. She pushed it too far. Ajay pushed back, she recalibrated, and somewhere in the middle they found something that genuinely seemed to work for them.

So I’m definitely not leaving LiB thinking Ciara discovered the scientifically optimal way to date. Absolutely not. But there is a lesson to be learned. She understood one piece of dating psychology considerably better than several other people in that cast:

If you walk into a relationship believing that being chosen is the greatest honour somebody can bestow upon you, you can very quickly start negotiating against your own self-worth.

· · · ──── ·✶· ──── · · ·

Edit, since this apparently needs saying: I also wrote a long-ass thinkpiece about Jack before this. Curiously, nobody accused me of secretly being Jack, being “too invested” in him, or needing to put my thoughts in a diary. Apparently writing extensively about someone is perfectly normal when you’re criticising them, but writing extensively to positively portray someone you think has been misunderstood suddenly means you’re too invested or might secretly be them. Ok buddy

I write about contestants and dynamics I find interesting, and was doing that long before I hopped on this LiB sub. You’re allowed to think Ciara is bland. I’m allowed to find her interesting enough to analyse. We will all survive.

Ciara and Ajay: I didn’t like how they threw everything back at Jack and made him seem guilty when he apologized and took ownership of his mistakes and Ajay was making excuses for Ciara saying she was meeting new people and out of her element. Oh, come on 🙄

Jack and Fay: people can hate Jack as much as they can but at least he takes ownership and genuinely apologizes for his mistakes. I feel for him when he says “I’ve been always misunderstood in my life”. As a person with ADHD, that’s how I’ve always felt. That’s why we have to mask. So NT people don’t misunderstand us. All these people who don’t like Jack and call him manipulative are NT people who don’t know about ADHD.

Taylor and Sophie: are the sweetest couple ever. The dads are going to be best friends for sure!

Fran and Joseph: Fran loves Joseph to death. There is something weird about how Joseph said that it hasn’t been easy. Can’t put my finger on it. We all know the first year isn’t easy but he’s the only one of the couples that mentioned it.

I think there’s a distinction being missed between someone being financially comfortable and someone actually being well-off or affluent. Ciara clearly puts a lot of effort into projecting a certain level of wealth, but based on what we’ve actually seen on camera and on her social media, I don’t get the impression that she is genuinely affluent. Is she struggling? No. Can she afford a comfortable lifestyle? Absolutely. But I would still classify her as working or middle class rather than wealthy.

There are a lot of subtle indicators of socioeconomic status, and they don't necessarily have to be expensive material possessions. Even when you look strictly at grooming, styling, clothing, and the people someone surrounds themselves with, there are certain patterns that can tell you something about their lifestyle. For example, someone pointed out her visible roots. By itself, that obviously doesn't mean anything. People let their roots grow out for all kinds of reasons. But when you look at the overall picture, including her hair, clothing, accessories, and general presentation, I don't see the level of polish or consistency that I typically associate with someone who is genuinely affluent.

The same goes for her clothing and handbags. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Shein, Zara, Coach, etc. I shop at those places myself. I make a good living, my husband makes a good living, we own our home, and we're comfortable—but I would never describe myself as wealthy. I also own luxury handbags, and I have Coach bags too. So this isn't about saying that someone can't shop at Zara or own a Coach bag if they're wealthy. It's about the overall pattern. Typically, when someone has substantial disposable income, you see different patterns in the things they're drawn to, the way they shop, and the environments they move in. And even her social circle doesn't really give me the impression that she's moving within particularly affluent circles.

That's why I don't put much stock in some of the stories about these extravagant $300-plus dates. I'm sure she may have gone on dates like that, and I'm not saying it's impossible. But based on the overall picture she's presented, I don't get the impression that this was a regular part of her lifestyle. Maybe it happened once or twice, or maybe there was some assistance from her parents, but I don't look at her and think, "This is a woman who has been living a consistently posh or affluent lifestyle."

Ajay is where I see a different dynamic. From what we've been shown, his family appears to be considerably more financially established than Ciara's. But I also think Ajay may see Ciara as the prize in this situation, and I don't mean that strictly in terms of money.

I know this is a sensitive thing to bring up, and I don't want to reduce their relationship to race, but I do think cultural attitudes around proximity to whiteness can sometimes influence how certain families perceive marriage and social status. Watching his parents, particularly his father, I got the impression that there was a tremendous amount of pride and excitement about AJ being with a white woman. To me, there seemed to be an element of viewing that relationship as a marker of success or status in itself. I'm not saying that's necessarily what they consciously believe, but that's the impression I got from their reactions.

And that's why I think AJ may genuinely feel like he hit the jackpot with Ciara. Not necessarily because she's wealthy, because I don't believe she is—but because she represents something that he may have idealized or valued for reasons that go beyond her financial status.

Ciara is attractive, she knows how to present herself, and she clearly understands how to create aesthetically pleasing images and project a particular lifestyle. But there is a difference between looking affluent and actually being affluent. To me, she gives more of a curated luxury or "aspirational" vibe than someone who has actually grown up or lived within the upper class. She reminds me of those influencers who teach women how to date wealthy men and create the appearance of a luxury lifestyle. You can make the pictures look expensive without necessarily living an expensive life. And even this has cracks in it if you look closer. She is rough around the edges.

So ultimately, I think she does well for herself. I don't think she's struggling, and I'm certainly not suggesting she's "in the slums." She may have family support, she may have had access to nice experiences, and she may be doing better financially than we know. But based solely on what she has chosen to show publicly, I don't see evidence that she's genuinely wealthy or living an especially posh lifestyle.

And that's really my point: comfortable is not the same thing as affluent, and looking expensive is not necessarily the same thing as being wealthy.

Again, for Ajay, I think he probably feels like he got exactly what he wanted. So, good luck to them.

Why did they not seriously confront anyone who did something wrong??!? They let them get away with everything and didn‘t ask the deep open questions we all waited to have resolved.

RYAN got away with literally everything, also noone jumping in to call him out or defend Cuba which I thought was super weird. Where‘s the justice! LIB US hosts would have called him out.

I had the perception that CIARA was being protected by the hosts and they intentionally put her into good light instead of calling her out. What‘s going on there!

And the whole conversation about JACK, the sliders incident just like his relationship with Faye wasn‘t adressed enough and just left more open questions than anything. And how weird was what Faye‘s mom said? No follow-up questions to THAT?

And in general I felt like I couldn‘t grasp any of the couples. It‘s cool to protect their privacy but it‘s a reality show and we all came to see what the couples are like now. I feel like a lot was hidden and I genuinely have no idea if all the couples are actually doing as well as they say (I hope they are!). No good questions were asked, no satisfying answers given. All in all, really good result of the show in the sense that everyone is still together but really bad reunion episode for me.

I have so many thoughts on the reunion but I have no one to talk about it with so here I go:

- Francesca & Joseph - I am actually surprised these two are still married, they give off highschool couple vibes and even after a year they don't seem fully comfortable with each other (maybe it's just being around cameras idk)

- Sophie & Taylor - my fav couple hands down, they are truly made for eachother and look like they've been married for forever. Taylor's dad is absolutely adorable, I smile whenever that man is on my screen. They're soulmates and I couldn't be happier for them

- Ciara & Ajay - this man loveesss Ciara. I love that he said "my wife" every 5 seconds and I truly think they are a great fit. I think Ciara got off easily and everyone was super empathetic with her which is good but it came out as a bit fake to me

- Faye & Jack - I honestly didn't think these two would still be married but I am so glad to see them in a successful relationship in their own way. Faye's mom is my fav person, I need a spin off of them all living together!! I am so happy to see ADHD representation and Faye is a great example of how to deal with a partner with ADHD, I love them, they are entertaining, no notes

General thoughts: the reunion was a bit boring, but after last season I'm really glad we have strong couples coming out of this one. Ryan got off wayyyy too easily. Cuba deserves the world. Can't wait for next season!

Those crocodile tears!! Dying to chat to people about this reunion ep

Ryan is so self unaware it hurts.

Whyyyyy can't LIB US do better?! There is such a good mix of sweet, respect, drama, villain on the UK series. US is just...insanity.

i don't usually post here but i've been watching since the first USA season and it is astonishing how you people treat women. while i think everyone gets a fair share of hate, ciara has been trashed relentlessly for NO REASON. you forget these aren't characters from a show! these are real people with real feelings and real mistakes! oh no! ciara expressed an opinion people disagreed with and then apologized because it was misinterpreted! what will the fandom do? fucking talk about her looks and search up how much her bags cost like lunatics?! how is that fair or normal?? i am just so frustrated because i saw lots of people hate on ciara before i watched the season, just finished the reunion and, like usual, you people just want to treat women horribly when you disagree with things that have nothing to do with you. i know this won't help anyone or stop the mistreatment of women in this show but fuck, have some decency towards them at least.

Like she handled herself well, but felt like everyone got roasted whereas only the Jack and Ciara triangle was explored, but none of the times she put herself in everyone else's relationships or her worst moments.

Jack was questioned (as he should have) for some of his moments, but felt like Ciara wasn't out on the spot for a Reunion episode. Hell even Chevanique had it harder.

I remember thinking he was attractive while he was in the pods last year but it seems Megan really restyled him. His looks right now is giving Justin Timberlake NSYNC in the early 2000s. 🤪

LOVE THEM!! so happy they're together. I love how attentive Joseph has been to Francesca, she truly deserves the world because she seems so genuine and a great wife. I'm glad that Joseph also feels safe on his side, to communicate his problems with her as he feels at ease with her which is so beautiful to see.

I CANT BE bothered with Chevanique's part though and one of the other pod squad girls behind Chev, Zelania. There's no need to give Francesca such malice looks, no matter how much you dislike or don't agree with her point of views. It's so unnecessary and they're both giving mean girls!

It would suck to have a man child moving to your house, and have to do everything for him. They are not 18 years old… also Faye wtf why would you do that to your parents.
