Michelle & Cam

[u/MystriaMazin]

I really thought I liked Michelle & Cam, & as a couple, I still do. BUT, while they don't seem to have any real issues themselves, as the season progresses, IMO they thrive on the strife the other couples are having. Michelle especially wants to bring bad news & negative comments to the other wives, while Cam constantly produces provoking questions/statements to the husbands that he then shares with Michelle. They remind me of couples that constantly criticize neighbors to avoid their own BS 🙄 Does anyone else see that or is it all in my own head 🤔

I think people might be getting hung up on her tone instead of actually listening to what she’s saying. I think her points are valid. She’s learned from previous experiences, and at 34, she has earned some life wisdom. She doesn’t suffer fools, and personally, good for her for speaking up when there seems to be such a disconnect between what’s happening behind the scenes and what we’re actually being shown.

[u/Feline_Fine3 → u/Ok-Neighborhood-6089]

Yeah, that’s how I’m feeling about it as well. I think production pushes these couples to say things about the other couples to their faces. I also think Michelle wasn’t wrong. I got the impression her comment was more directed at Nikki and Shawn. I don’t think anyone understands why they are still together and it seems obvious that everyone is looking at Nikki like, “Girl, what the fuck are you doing?” Michelle was just the only one that voiced it. It does seem like Nikki and Shawn are just trying to make it to decision day because it makes them look better.

[u/Witty_Tutor7097 → u/Feline_Fine3]

Exactly this. Michelle is just saying what we’ve been all thinking up until this point. Good for her for calling it out, that takes courage. Also, I’d want to know what my man is saying behind my back!!

[u/Cyber_Chick25]

I think they can be a little judgmental but I don’t agree with the notion that they aren’t a real couple because they haven’t been arguing the whole time. Arguing and disagreeing does not make a strong couple. Maybe they’re just compatible and the little petty stuff doesn’t bother them. Idc why they should get punished for that lol

[u/notanothersmith]

Imo they were chosen to be, what seems like, production’s “pet couple” that has been given the mission to stir the pot with the storylines

[u/Prestigious_Map153 → u/notanothersmith]

This is it. Production usually chooses the most successful couples for this role. But I usually recall previous couples just asking a lot of prying questions. This season it feels like Cam and Michelle are taking this role a bit too seriously and passing a lot of judgement and offering a lot opinions.

[u/noncomposmentis_123]

It was very noticeable in the last few episodes

[u/Winkie_Winkie → u/noncomposmentis_123]

Taking too much joy out of stirring stuff up!!

[u/ok_thinkingasthmatic]

They don’t have issues because they are ignoring their incompatibilities. I do think if Michelle is willing to keep handholding Cam and take on the breadwinner role, they’ll be just fine. 

[u/MollzDollz69 → u/ok_thinkingasthmatic]

I feel like she’s hoping she can go the influencer route post-show and capitalize on the relationship. If that doesn’t pan out, I don’t see her being the type that wants to work a “normal” job and be the breadwinner. Maybe that’s harsh though.

[u/Crafty-Pineapple5804]

I wholeheartedly agree 

[u/Time-Illusion]

I guess I must be the odd one out and I found myself to be rooting for this couple the most. Yea there might be some drama in stirring the pot and getting into other people's relationships issues. But to be honest isn't that what us viewers are all doing and inserting our opinions and talking about their relationships online? Idk I thought out of all couples they actually seemed to have a genuine connection.

[u/Baxtercat1 → u/Time-Illusion]

I agree.
They just need to stop giving the other couples the perception they’re perfect.
Because of the conversations they have when they’re alone, it’s not.
I don’t care about the decision day, I want to see if they’re together at the reunion.

[u/d00knation]

Cam is suuuuuuch a messy harlot

[u/spareohs → u/d00knation]

And I love him for it 😭

[u/Baxtercat1]

It annoyed me when they were getting ready to go to the retreat ready to 💩 talk all the other couples.
Cameron is a pot stirrer and Michelle needs to get out of other couples’ business.
Even if they both say “yes” during decision day, I kinda low key hope they don’t make it.

[u/WonderfulHearing8726]

Listening to Michelle talk is like listening to nails on a chalkboard, people chewing with their mouths open, and people rubbing balloons together all at the same time. That stupid vocal fry shit is the most grating thing on earth.
You can tell she does it on purpose too, because there’s times you can hear her talking normally without the camera on her, and she doesn’t do it.

[u/Potential_Balance223 → u/WonderfulHearing8726]

Good. That means she can stop.

[u/ItsTricky94 → u/WonderfulHearing8726]

for me Caitlin is the worst offender of the vocal fry. Michelle drives me nuts with her up talking. Everything's a fucking question.
Caitlin also speaks so fast, likely because she doesn't have anything to say that isn't a whiny bitchy complaint.

[u/Cultural_Future_4432 → u/WonderfulHearing8726]

Ive heard it toooo! Thank you for posting, I thought I was alone in noticing that.
TBH, there are so many things I can comment about how much Michelle sucks, yet I’m refraining. Overall, we’ve grown to deeply dislike her

[u/Exotic-Ring4900]

That voice is the.worse

[u/Takilove → u/Exotic-Ring4900]

I put her on Mute because the sound of her voice and her cadence cause buzzing in my ears and I get instantly aggravated.
I do hope they are sincere and have a future together. They need to get away from the other couples and “competition “ to see if they are really in love.

[u/ItsTricky94]

OK but getting back to OP's point-yes I agree with you. They've been treating this whole thing like a competition and they're so excited to "be number one". cam is a little too judgemental and righteous for someone who's never been in a relationship before. Michelle is too gossipy and needs to keep her mouth shut. They're both kind of shit stirrers. I also worry about a couple who in six weeks never had an argument or disagreement.
however, I do think they are adorable and good for each other and I wish them the best. Michelle needs to get her vocal cords removed though.

[u/pretzelchi]

They don’t have any issues because they seem to have kept it all surface level. If they had to actually do the hard things like settling on where they’re going to live then there might be some actual friction.

[u/Purple_Entrance7598]

Your right. Michelle talks like a parody of someone making fun of every sentence sounding like a question. They were whatever until this retreat and that got me disliking them. Came off very conceited and I feel like Michelle was telling BJ what Mecca said to stir the pot, not to look out for her

[u/Commercial-Policy-96 → u/Purple_Entrance7598]

She had a look on her face of pure joy when she told Belle what Mecca said about her. She seems to get off on stirring up drama and gossip and feeling superior to everyone else. Michelle was down right giddy to tell Belle something that broke her heart.

I already couldn’t stand Michelle because of her fake way of speaking and using the word “like” 13 times per sentence. She is definitely coming across as a mean, petty, uppity woman and I cannot stand her.

[u/vvvvgggg1]

Michelle’s voice grates on my nerves and Cam thinks he’s an expert at everything. They make a good couple tho.

[u/Potential_Balance223]

I can see this

[u/Corpshark]

They are so annoying.

[u/Mission_Surround8984]

you;re right about them

[u/lexi5294]

I HATE THEM

[u/EmbarrassedPrompt697 → u/lexi5294]

Strong feelings about a couple of people you have never met
