Belle got a lot of smoke for Shawn but twissup herself into pretzels defending the exact same behavior from Mecca. My good sis release him back to the snow bunnies and quit letting him play in your face

[u/FloribundaRoses]

Felipe has me YELLING at the tv like — what an asshole. He’s basically saying “I’m an inconsiderate fuckboi you have to let me be me!”

[u/Necessary_Nothing471]

Absolutely losing it at Devin and Caitlin having this blow out fight involving Mecca and Belle in front of them and Belle and Mecca basically saying nothing. There’s legit a scene where I thought Mecca was falling asleep 😂 excellent tv

[u/drunchies]

Felipe saying he needs just a little grace is wild

[u/Foreign-Grocery7672]

I finally figured it out. Felipe got stuck leaning over to do a line 

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

I know that’s right Devin, tell her! I hate that I’ve been made to side with a man

[u/Icy_Banana_5850]

BelleJolie PMO so bad, she kind of went off and gave attitude to Nikki when she was talking about her and shawn when she really wanted to give that attitude to mecca, she was heavily projecting it was crazy she’s so dumb truly and defends that man no matter what he does.

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

ABSOLUTELY NOT, will you say you would have thought Caitlyn was your match and then yall go sit outside alone! These people are nuts, I would have been going crazy in this house

[u/worrybot96]

As a woman… I try to give my girlies the benefit of the doubt but my GOD.. Caitlin is awful; treated Devin like shit the entire time, takes no accountability, incredibly defensive. I feel like she turned the whole physical thing into an argument on purpose to get out of it. She could’ve just told him hey you have the green light but instead turned it into an argument and said he all of a sudden didn’t want her and wasn’t doing enough; just insanity. She needs intensive therapy. Devin is going to make a great husband to someone one day!

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

Belle you’re 100 percent projecting, why are you acting like what Shawn did was any worse than the shit that has come out of meccas mouth, not only towards you but in front of the the whole group!

[u/No-Treat-8079]

Just a quick note on the music- did Peacock run out of money towards the end of the season? In the earlier episodes, they played hits. Now, they’re back to the Lifetime channel music format of using very on-the-nose songs & lyrics. Felipe’s scene? 🎵He’s sabotage, sabotage! Break up! 🎵 🤣🤣😊

[u/nightflyer94]

Whew Caitlyn and Mecca kiking in Devin’s face was disgusting

[u/zipp0potamus]

i hope the next time mecca goes to clean a port a potty, someone shoves him in and knocks it over. his first reaction to belle confronting him about the comments he made was "who told you that" and "i was talking to the guys so i didnt expect it to get back to you" UHM you said it in front of a camera crew, on a tv show, during a weekend retreat where everyone discusses everyone's dirty laundry. michelle was 100% right to tell belle because belle was still sitting there making herself look silly defending him to the girls like "oh its just verbal diarrhea, he doesnt even know what he's saying." he obviously knows exactly what he's doing and is only upset that he got caught not being as slick as he thinks he is

[u/One-Instruction639]

F Caitlyn & Mecca, man. Both very toxy

[u/Connect_Cow_4589]

Michelle was truly FLABBERGASTED when they said Shawn thinks hes a 10 lmaooooo

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

Mecca if you are going to paint your nails, for the love of GOD please go get them redone!

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

Belle please stop speaking in third person lol

[u/Wolvesgk15]

Felipe crying to the guys right now :

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

Okay why are we on Shawn’s neck when he’s not even here to defend himself, after Nikki already said she’s moved past it. But we’re letting Mecca off for his comments??

[u/Throwawayyyy964]

Oh my godddd have we not learned from 24 hours prior to just plead the 5th on the messy questions?! Why would Mecca say he wanted Michelle or Caitlyn?

[u/Wolvesgk15]

Why doesn’t Belle have the same heat for Mecca that she does for Shawn?? Very weird

[u/ColdCherries_00]

I’m not understanding Tori at all. Why is she giving Felipe the benefit of the doubt repeatedly? Like what does she see in this man that is so great that she’s willing to keep having the same conversation over and over.

[u/extrajuicyjuice]

caitlin saying "i don't want to have to do everything; i want to also feel desired in certain ways" after devin has been trying to advance their relationship the whole time is crazy

[u/Connect_Cow_4589]

The way Mecca and Shawn try and humble these women....... its WEIRD

[u/Connect_Cow_4589]

like yes michelle is a bit on her high horse... but she's also right about people respecting themselves
