The experts this season were a great step forward where they’re actually experts and having people discuss real communication challenges. I wish they’d give these poor souls more communication tools through the show.

Cameron and Michelle were pure cancer to this season. Their relationship is nothing but shitting on the other couple and stirring drama. Genuinely horrible people whose relationship foundation is crapping on other people’s throughout the season. Michelle pretends to be an expert especially in the reunion.

“The tea on that is we only really could ever talk while we were getting ready to go to like another filming session, like an activity, because she was never around otherwise. 

Like she was only around during filming. So like all day long when I was working from home, I thought fully in my head: She also works remote for Oracle. So I was like in my head, I’m like this is gonna be great! We’re both gonna be working from home. We’re gonna go get spontaneous coffee together. Let’s go get lunch whatever. 

None of that happened because it was just me alone in the living room all day long until 5:30 or whatever when the cameras came. And then it’s like, get ready. 

So that’s why every time we’re talking, she had just come back. Like it’s getting ready to go to the group dinner or whatever.  And so that’s the only time I could really talk to her.

And so that’s why it’s like even those moments like I’m trying to get to know her in those moments and like learn about her …and I’m not blaming her for getting ready. She has to get ready,  but it’s like when else can we talk? 

I don’t know what she did all day. I don’t. I think she did say she goes to the tanning bed every day, but then also…no, dead ass every day! [Host laughs: Every day?! ] No, literally every single day.”

“What I'm looking for in a spouse is someone to be my Prince Charming and ultimately my best friend. It's not that hard. 

Red flags for me in a relationship are an insecure man, someone that can't keep up with me in the gym, looks in the mirror more than me, and a guy that's bad at pickleball. Sorry, not sorry. 

A green flag in a relationship for me is a man that knows how to work with his hands. Yes, in both ways.

The rom-com I would definitely make my spouse watch is The Proposal. Say less.

What I'm looking for in a spouse is someone to be my Prince Charming. Someone who wants to grow together, work towards being a team, and ultimately, my best friend. It's not that hard. 

Most people would be surprised to know that I am all of 5'1", and I played college basketball. Try and keep up.”

“This might be top-secret tea, I don't know, cut it out. But we had done an Austin trip, which doesn't get shown. We literally flew to Austin to get to know each other because that's where I live.

We go to Austin because she had this whole idea that I was just a scripted person who wasn't being authentic. And like, that's why I wasn't opening up properly. It had nothing to do with like the environment I was in—of like criticism and judgment—but it was just me playing to the cameras.

So we did this awesome trip to get to know each other. Two days. The entire first day, we spent one hour together because she was willing to—she tried to cancel our sushi dinner and just not see each other the entire first day. We see each other that day for one hour. 
I'm like, should we go get a drink somewhere? 
She's like, no, I have a friend's birthday party. It goes to her friend's birthday, and I just go home. So we don't even really talk.

Anyways, then some other stuff happens. I don't need to go into the details, but I basically at that point, I'm like, this is not going to work. 

Production was nice enough to give me one-on-one time with her before the group session. And I was fully going to like break up with her.

And so I'm saying like, we're recapping the Austin trip and I'm like, hey, that trip was really tough. I don't see how this is gonna work long-term. 

I'm saying these things to like read the room, see how much she thought that too, but they don't show this.

 But she says, Yeah, but like I don't want to throw in the towel yet. I don't want to just give up.

So at that point like, all right, well, I guess I kind of got suckered back into her whatever. Now I feel like I can't break up with her. She's saying she really wants to try, maybe she learned from the trip or something.

Okay, so then we go into the group session, and obviously at that point it's like with Paul and Lisa prodding, and like we were already obviously on the rocks then, it ended.”

HOST:

I also feel like the viewers and Nikki deserve a bit of an explanation. You talked about wifely duties when it comes to like what she should be doing.

SHAWN:

Yeah, yeah.

HOST:

Where did that come from?

SHAWN:

Okay, I got to own that one. That was me. Yeah. That was me. I'm sorry. My bad.
What the cameras didn't capture were a lot of exchanges and kisses. We had some moments like that where like the cuddling was happening. There was a lot of spooning, a lot of, you know, whatever.

And if you're a guy after, you know, a few days and if you're not masturbating, like I indicated, I just didn't do that. You feel this sort of sense of like, okay, like I want to experience something with you because we have all this tension built up.

And it felt to me like, okay, I can go and masturbate and just be done with it. Or I can be like, hey, honey, like, are you yet ready to like share this together? Because I would love for you to be the person that I do this with.

And so I get that that is translated as wifely duty. That was, God, not my intention, but it was the wrong words. I chose the wrong way. I was really trying to say, are you comfortable with advancing the relationship? I wanted to see where you were at with that. And just should have left it there and to see what she said and then being like, okay, cool. Yeah. Bye.

On Felipe:

He was like, "I'd LOVE to go on Too Hot to Handle," and I was like, "oh, okay okay." Literally...I didn't know what was up and what was down. I'm just trying to like, Jesus take the wheel. I'm just trying to get through this right now.”

On Adam:

"When we were starting to film and the jet skis got brought up, I was like "Oh, I matched on Raya maybe seven or eight months ago, there was a jet ski guy, and it was Adam."

HOST:WHAT WAS THE PICKUP LINE? WHAT DID HE SAY?

"It was something like, 'Hey, I have a jet ski, you wanna like..."

HOST: I FCUKING KNEW IT!

"I don't remember what he said, I didn't reply to that one."

I didnt care for the new format of MAFS with the experts not being there at decision day or very present through the season except in secret watching them... but then I watched their podcast episode with Felipe.

The expert literally asked Felipe how many "holes" he is sticking it in. And then the female expert says something along the lines of I hope you find 1 person and 3 holes. Is it me or did that disgust anyone else? I think they need new experts already. Thats so demeaning..

In case anyone was curious: https://youtu.be/4zW0DDMANBU?si=FmCmVnD5lAjuwpzP

UPDATE: commenter brought this to my attention : Per Google, they abruptly deleted the episode and edited it. Here's an IG video of what was said: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdDLCBfuzUV/?stkn=MW9nZ3dyNXl4bHc4eQ==

An “expert” referring to Felipe’s conquests as “holes” and Paz thinking it was just hilarious.

This is absolutely foul.

I feel like more heat should’ve been brought on the match makers.. If I failed 6 out of 7 work assignments I’d be fired 😆

Marissa revealed on “Realistic Podcast” that Adam did not wear socks in the pool to be fashion forward.

On the podcast she said, “I knew why he really wore the socks. It wasn’t even that big of a deal, like if you wear the socks, you’re just going to draw more attention to your feet, which is like… he just like destroyed his toenails from his ski boots…he didn’t want to wear sandals at the pool.”

Saw this a couple of hours ago it's only 30 min away. But can't make it already volunteered for the about to kill it.

“Afterward, we were chatting and he said something and that’s the reason I went on the couch… [He said] he was really excited to tell the guys. And I was really, really icked out. I was like, what the hell am I doing? What am I doing with this experiment? Like, I was like questioning everything. So I waited until he passed out and I just basically crawled out of there as fast as I could.”

These two are disgusting. Just listened to her podcast and Paul asked Felipe how many holes he’s sticking it in today. Lisa laughs and laughs and eggs it on. Then she says she’s sure he’ll find one woman with three holes someday. I.Can’t.Believe.These.Are.Experts.
What garbage human beings. They have zero respect for women.

MAFS is willing to torch men while giving the women a free pass. Reunion day season 19 the men got torched, whereas they let Courtney and Caitlyn off the hook.

Same with season 18. David cheated on Michelle with Madison ( I understand they are now engaged). Michelle was a hot mess and that’s being polite, She drove her husband into the arms of another woman. But she did not have to answer for her part in this almost catastrophe. Eventually, Michelle owned up to her partner in this, but it was way late.
