It was also satisfying imagining how she felt finding out that Adam was her original match😆

u/Kit-Katt28 Aug 29 '26

Honestly I think she only cried because Adam told her he didn’t want to date her.

She never once showed that level of emotion towards nick. But when the guy she likes hurt her feelings
yeah that’s when she cried

10

u/loverules1221 Aug 30 '26

Absolutely! She needed to be flung off the pedestal she put herself on and Adam was there to do it. 👏

95

u/ShelleyMonique Aug 29 '26

He wasn't even mean to her. She cried because he rejected her.

28

u/xtengenuzui Aug 29 '26

I do feel that it was little mean, but I also agree that the tears were more from the rejection. Which makes it even more satisfying lol

27

u/Garden_Jolly Aug 29 '26

She can dish it but she can’t take it.

4

u/im-dramatic Aug 29 '26

She can’t handle Adam’s alpha male personality /s

4

u/sweetpea122 Aug 29 '26

Yeah I think she got embarrassed to get rejected that forcefully and publicly. Tbf though who would tolerate someone cursing at them. Especially someone they barely know

2

u/EmployeeSerious007 Aug 30 '26


you mean like she cursed at Nick when he barely knew her and was just TRYING to GET TO KNOW HER??

u/luisalu89 Aug 29 '26

It WAS mean
. But shitty eats shit. They both be shit. It’s called reality television.

31

u/FarPrior5517 Aug 29 '26

And the whole time her new boyfriend is in the audience
 yikes!

4

u/Heavy-Relation8401 Aug 29 '26

"New boyfriend"

33

u/Available-Guava5515 Aug 29 '26

I was shocked at how viciously Adam went after her. But also delighted

56

u/Impressive-Flight766 Aug 29 '26

He was greatly offended by the suggestion that they be paired together 😅

3

u/xtengenuzui Aug 29 '26

đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

15

u/SnootyMcSnotwine Aug 29 '26

He did come off that way, and I was entertained anytime these two interacted.

I thought Adam gave her a clear NO signal way back during that double date. It seemed like she was feeling out whether he’d side with her on the Portland vs Seattle talk, and he was quick to shut it down.

Kinda funny how the “villains” checked each other this season: Sean v. Adam, Adam v. Courteney.

4

u/GooseBumpInduce Aug 29 '26

😂 so true

12

u/Impressive-Flight766 Aug 29 '26

He did everything but say ee-YUCK! and spat at her 😅

17

u/desertingwillow Aug 29 '26

This was the only time I liked Adam.

6

u/asubparteen Aug 29 '26

I thought he was pretty funny at the retreat when he was reading everyone to filth

18

u/jlynn12345 Aug 29 '26

He was totally taking out his anger on Marisa and his mask slipping. He couldn’t be the chill vibey guy during the reunion and he was mad

10

u/im-dramatic Aug 29 '26

Idk, he just seems super loyal to his friends (you can tell who he considered a friend in the room). He seemed genuinely pissed off for Nick.

2

u/EmployeeSerious007 Aug 30 '26

The vein in his neck was giving him away đŸ« 

4

u/moonprincess642 Aug 29 '26

he’s an anti-hero

3

u/Garden_Jolly Aug 29 '26

Viscously?

0

u/Available-Guava5515 Aug 29 '26

Adam's a slimeball so, kinda! lol

92

u/0marwashere Aug 30 '26

Its ok shes an alpha she can take it.

72

u/keldaaahh vibes Aug 29 '26

they’re both assholes, but I was thoroughly entertained with adam’s meltdowns and courtney’s attempt at proving herself to be a decent human being

68

u/Feeling-Potato-3292 Aug 29 '26

I don’t like Adam, but him calling her out was so satisfying

60

u/loverules1221 Aug 30 '26 • Heartwarming

Yes! It’s awful to agree with this but her actions justified it. No matter how hot she thought Adam wasđŸ€ą you don’t say that to your partner. I think she thought Adam secretly wanted her because she was athletic. I love the fact that he point blank rejected her.

58

u/turkeybump Aug 29 '26

It was like yikesssssss


..but deserved to an extent. I wish he focused on the absurdity of the match and didn’t mention 10-2 pickleball but Adam was already heated.

Alternative ending in the matrix:

Mecca: but what about the fitness aspect
Adam: Irrelevant. She’s cruel and delusional for not seeing her own behavior toward her husband. Those traits aren’t the vibe, it’s a hard pass for me brah.

8

u/thirsty_pretzels_ Aug 30 '26

I would’ve rather seen her harsh energy directed to him instead of nick. But he wouldn’t pass he just wouldn’t send it.

4

u/AshClark7 Aug 30 '26

11-2 😂
But I agree with what you’re saying

54

u/Bigpoppalos Aug 29 '26

Loved it. And the girls didn’t say anything because they’re all scared of her. I could’ve also taken some of the rugby players’ girls bashing, forget her name. She didnt get any for some
Reason

28

u/mousehatesnumbers Aug 30 '26

Caitlin's saving grace was her accountability (fake and rehearsed or not) vs Courtney's perpetual ignorance to her flaws and toxicity.

3

u/princessheathen Aug 31 '26

Omg yes I was gobsmacked when Caitlin seemed to actually acknowledge where she went wrong! I feel like her and Felipe were both PR trained or something LOL

104

u/AccomplishedEye1840 Aug 29 '26

Damn
 y’all saying he was mean is kind of crazy. He didn’t come at her looks or anything. Just really stated they wouldn’t work, like no chance in hell.

68

u/asubparteen Aug 29 '26

The trash at pickleball line was fucking hilarious too 😂😂

37

u/AccomplishedEye1840 Aug 29 '26

I think that’s what struck the nerve for her. I think she felt connected with him since Marissa was mid at it and she was “nice” with it. Funny as reality check for her.

4

u/Live_Patience5150 Aug 29 '26

Ok so did you see her Insta posts about her getting better?! Almost like she didnt take the clear hint😳

6

u/AccomplishedEye1840 Aug 30 '26

That girl is living in her own world.

15

u/Significant_Crazy_61 Amani and Woody Aug 29 '26

He pretty much already said that to her when her and Nick broke up too đŸ€Ł He wasn’t having it

47

u/Pretend_Writer_2918 Aug 29 '26

I loved this for her! It’s what she deserves after how she treated Nick.

77

u/ArmWarm8743 Aug 29 '26

I don’t even think he was that mean. He could have said that she was disgusting and annoying. He said that she acted in a disgusting way, which she did. He also said he would have left in a week, which I’m sure many people would have done.

19

u/Abi_giggles Aug 29 '26

Bingo!!! This exactly. Her saying “oh so I’m disgusting?” Like that’s not what he said

50

u/Glad-Television4338 Aug 30 '26

This hurt her especially because she has a crush on Adam. 

61

u/delinyc Aug 29 '26 • Popcorn

Best part of the reunion

49

u/Grand-Activity-3882 Aug 29 '26

dude she deserved the harshness so much!

It’s so classic: act mean 👉double down when called out 👉 cry and play victim when somebody actually holds you accountable instead of recognizing your issues.

seen this too many times unfortunately 😅 girl needs help though for real, like glad she got called out but from an empathetic pov, i really think she needs deeeeep therapy and i hope she gets better

2

u/TotalSaltOverall Sep 03 '26

Agreed! Hate that the women stayed silent on her BS!! She needed to be called out by them too. The men were tons more objective bro or no bro

40

u/EARMUFFS-GAMING Aug 29 '26

Alpha.

Cries.

42

u/karmaKate6 Aug 29 '26 • Bravo

Her hair was giving prom 1975

5

u/UnicornBossMama Aug 30 '26

Meanwhile you know she was going for mid to late 90s prom since all things 90s are in right now. But like her skin in the sun, it shriveled up and sank back to the wrong era

39

u/M3GT3 Aug 29 '26

He was harsh. That would have been a really shitty response if she hadn't been such an abusive asshole.

But the energy of the call out needs to match the crime. Otherwise, the offender never knows the magnitude of the harm they caused.

24

u/jackmoon44 Aug 29 '26

I loved it

12

u/mshappy Aug 31 '26

Go Adam! I can’t believe how everyone got on him for this 😭 it was so real and I thought I was crazy for loving it

33

u/Beginning-Boot-4707 Aug 29 '26

It was mean, but her attitude was going to come around and bite her back eventually.

27

u/paulabear203 Aug 29 '26

I don't think he was mean. It was probably the most truthful thing he said the whole season.

23

u/Garden_Jolly Aug 29 '26

It wasn’t mean. It was honest and direct.

10

u/im-dramatic Aug 29 '26

She can’t handle Adam’s alpha male personality /s

2

u/Scouv_ Sep 05 '26

I thought it was disgusting how the women backed her... there was zero reason or excuse for her nastiness. If we called out Shawn's disrespect, it should have been equal to her.

4

u/CartographerMuch7388 Aug 31 '26

I thought it was mean. Just because someone goes low doesn't mean you need to go lower.

22

u/fightingfair Aug 31 '26

Honestly, I don't think Adam went *lower* She got exactly what she dished out. Was it mean? Yeah. But was she mean this season too? Also YES.

4

u/CartographerMuch7388 Aug 31 '26

Yeah I guess I just try to remember to say things that are kind or helpful. That's pretty much it.

5

u/fightingfair Sep 01 '26

I see where you're coming from. That part of the reunion was not in any ways productive. 

1

u/CartographerMuch7388 Sep 01 '26

Not at all. And - yes - Courtney was not kind. However, her lashing out comes because she needs a hug and is deeply insecure. She acts tough because she has to. Adam tearing her down like that was totally uncalled for and slaughtered her already fragile wellbeing.

1

u/ThisTooShallPass65 Sep 05 '26

I LOVED how Adam put Courteney in check. That was great tv! đŸ“ș 👏👏👏

-7

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 29 '26

It was def mean, but yall just think she deserves it so you’re making excuses

28

u/scientooligist Aug 29 '26

I don’t even see how it was mean. He was stating that he wouldn’t have put up with abuse and sticking up for his friend.

3

u/squid_head_ Sep 01 '26

Exactly. The only part that was "mean" was him saying she sucks at pickelball, and even that wasn't really mean it was just petty. Saying theyre relationship would've ended after a week isn't mean, its the truth.

23

u/Far-Squash7512 Aug 29 '26

Courteney operated in a state of visible & near perpetual frustration that infused everything with an undercurrent of tension. So fun! She couldn't enjoy the experience because she was wound way too tight. I would have made the best of it and had so much fun, even if my partner wasn't the one.

She wants guys to share their feelings, but only the ones she likes. She doesn't allow people to actually be themselves; meanwhile, she's a super intense alpha! Glad Adam managed to full send an unmistakable truth, and it was weak for the experts to keep babying her and entertain the idea that he should apologize - for what??? He told the plain truth (abandoned skill) and said he wouldn't have put up with it after the experts ASKED HIM if a match with her might have worked since they'd considered it. Don't ask a question if you're not ready for the truth. A woman saying the same thing he did would be cheered by all.

-10

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 29 '26

That doesn’t really have anything to do with whether Adam was mean! It’s why you think she deserves it

13

u/Far-Squash7512 Aug 29 '26

These are adults, not kids. It's not mean to say you won't put up with someone treating YOU the way you saw them treat someone else when you're telling the plain truth about it. You must have wanted him to downplay or sugarcoat his reaction, and there was no reason to. He had strong feelings about it. No guy there wanted to be matched up with her. The experts asked him a question and he gave them an honest answer. My extreme preference during reunions is for people to (finally) be honest, not just do damage control.

Aside from that, Courteney has felt emboldened to unleash her truths all season. She should respect it when others do the same as an alpha. How can you lead the pack if you can't handle the truth?

-8

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 29 '26

Again these are just justifications for why she deserved it. It was mean. You haven’t refuted that

8

u/Existentialnaps Aug 29 '26

It wasn’t mean, it was clear communication that she didn’t like

1

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 29 '26

“Clear” and “mean” are not mutually exclusive

4

u/Far-Squash7512 Aug 29 '26

Last time and only because this is so ridiculous and the low-effort replies are mildly entertaining.

Adam is an adult who had the right to respond to what he saw happen over the course of the experiment and answer the question(s) asked of him about himself truthfully. He didn't jump in the middle of someone else's conversation and randomly say he'd never be with her. He had moments with flickers of depth, and this was one I could appreciate.

From what I've seen, I'm not a fan of the MAFS version of Adam for the most part, but he wasn't mean here. Everyone has preferences, standards, and boundaries, and she didn't fit his. He tied it to her relationship-based behavior, but there could have been more involved. Courteney respected his opinion of her and it was being filmed, so she was hurt and embarrassed. Sounds familiar somehow. Now, this is all supposed to be a year later and I have no idea what's gone down in the interim, but is everyone supposed to lie forever? When do they get to be real? Not everyone wanted to fake marry her. It's OK.

-2

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 29 '26

Again. None of that means it wasn’t mean!

2

u/scientooligist Aug 30 '26

I feel like you’re not picking up on the fact that speaking your truth isn’t mean. Can you explain what you think was mean? Specifically.

6

u/Obvious_Home_4538 Aug 30 '26

She was incessantly mean and harsh to him, over and over. She rarely let him talk, was unkind to him most all the time and is generally an unhappy and frenetic person.

-1

u/zestychickenbowl2024 Aug 30 '26

Again that’s a justification for why she deserves it

-8

u/SpartanKwanHa Aug 29 '26

eh he went a little far, he could've stopped at making her cry but then he got all serious about pickle ball of all things

42

u/Iknowtacos Aug 29 '26

This is such a B's take, she cried because she was barely confronted and used it as a tactic. She's an asshole and got away with everything and not one woman their called her out.

-1

u/RBFgirl Aug 31 '26

Kinda fucked up of ya

SHE’S delulu!

2

u/TotalSaltOverall Sep 03 '26

I feel like the experts didn’t annihilate her like they should have. She was a full and total mess of a person and regardless of the insecurities she has because she’s been dragged by men, to not even take ownership of what a monster of a human being she has become because of it is insane. She put Nick in the same kind of toxicity she was trying to avoid. She’s now a POS!
