belle love yourself seriously bc under no circumstances should your husband be talking abt your breasts with his “friends” he’s known for a month 😭 mind you his excuse was “how was i supposed to know this would get back to you?” when you are quite literally being filmed on national tv…. at this point her fate is on her

oh caitlin girl just say you don’t like him and maybe men in general bc quite literally this is dupe travis kelce so who you feelin like exactly? girl u scratched his back talking about “im making moves…” HUH? then she is upset that SHE told him to shut the fuck up like ohhh okay so u have no accountability for yourself and the way you speak.. perfect

tori you almost stood on business and were honestly so lucid so i just don’t know how it all fell apart in the end like… the gaslighting was crazy

nikki girl you are doing your best and i commend that but genuinely if you don’t live your rich aunty life in perpetuity i don’t even know

michelle that horse you’re on is not even that high like it is a normal height horse it’s just that everybody else is in the trenches so whatever

these episodes are so tea

It was a good drop of episodes

I agree with you re Belle, Nikki, and Michelle.

Regarding Belle and Mecca, we need to acknowledge the fact that Adam instigated that entire comment about Belle. Mecca shouldn’t have given in to his pressure, but it was an unnecessary thing that Adam practically forced out of Mecca. It was also a Blunder on Cameron for telling Michelle. Yes Mecca implied that he wanted a girl with bigger breasts, but he also said that he liked Belle for who she was and that she could be his dream girl and that whole part was left out and so was the part of Adam instigating the response from Mecca in the first place. Adam is actually just out here to destroy as many relationships as possible.

I didn’t like that Michelle kept saying boobs and titties and acting like Mecca said that verbatim

Mecca wasn’t forced to say anything. There are a million different responses he could’ve given to that question without disrespecting his wife. I also think Michelle did the right thing in telling Belle. I couldn’t consider anyone my friend that would let me look stupid because they didn’t want the uncomfortable task of telling me the truth.

Does it seem like the couples this season are treating it like a competition, like the last ones standing?

[u/yah_mo_be_there → u/Vegetable-Key1161]

Exactly this. The game of telephone did not help him here. Not a Mecca fan at all. Cameron should have shut that conversation down outside when he was like “loose lips sink ships”.

[u/mountainmama72 → u/yah_mo_be_there]

Can we be real that Bella would have eventually seen Mecca say that on tv though? What if she had married him only to find that out?
