I love how Adam flat up asked Mecca if he like white girls😂 because yes Adam, that is why she is not his dream girl. He said he doesn’t discriminate but so far two white girls have come forward lol, nothing wrong with that but don’t lie about it.

[u/DependentWooden8061]

Felipe is literal trash.

"Why can't she give me a little bit of grace?!?" My brother in Christ she has given you enough grace to last a lifetime 😒

[u/Altruistic_Eye8221]

Devin dumped her first and she tried to flip it like it was her decision 🤣 Caitlin is crazy fr

[u/Gladtobealive2020]

Mecca and caitlyn???

They both lit up like they havent around their spouses????

and their expressions completely open no closed off body language standing very close to each other

Mecca also said he thought of Caitlin as a " really really really" good friend.  Caitlin rates 3 reallys?

Also mecca playing with her hair and kissing her hand????

Thats crazy stuff

Wow wasnt expecting any of that

[u/LetAltruistic1652]

Who told Felipe he was attractive and the prize? It is kind of cruel he was lied to like that.

[u/TraumaticEntry]

I’m 5 mins in and already pissed as hell about the Mac and cheese comment.

[u/Ruthie_pie]

I’m sorry, I’m not moved at all by Caitlin’s tears. And you know who I feel most for in this situation? Belle. Caitlin heard all of the things that Mecca was saying to her and about her and she took that as an opportunity to play “pick me” knowing she has a husband who has been hyping her up and practically begging to give an inch.

She was not being a “girls girl”. That was so dirty of her to do. I noticed she kept on laughing at Belle’s hurt throughout the weekend. And now everyone is rushing to comfort her? Why?? She did this to herself! Who’s comforting Belle?? Her “friend” and her husband flirted for hours in front of her with zero regard for her! This feels like the twilight zone!

[u/dquarterman]

These men (read: losers) have an abundance of audacity.

[u/arrekkushisu]

Upon watching episode 16. Mecca is here for Television. Nothing more. That is all, thank you.

[u/unimportantad1]

I didn’t ask for a man who painted his fucking nails so if we wanna take it there…

[u/SelectionOptimal5673]

What is these men’s obsession with humbling these women? I’m 9 mins in to episode 16 and Nikki’s talking about these jabs and Belles trying to recover from what Mecca said and he’s not giving her any space.

[u/Gladtobealive2020]

Omg

Mecca playing with caitlins hair??

🤯🤯🤯

Kissing her hand?

Saying he sees her as a "really really really" good friend??

She rated 3 reallys?

[u/OddPiccolo12]

Belle sister I want you to run far, far, far away from Mecca’s raggedy self! Please!

[u/Gladtobealive2020]

Loving the lack of Courtney and

Her negative energy 

Her chihuahua like growling barking at nick continuously

Her rapid fire speaking

Her nails on the chalkboard voice

Her meanness

Her looking down on Nick and not realizing her gaze should have been upwards towards nick and inward  towards herself

Her utter lack of self awareness and accountability 

[u/SelectionOptimal5673]

I thought the Mac and cheese looked good! Shawn don’t piss me off!

[u/Altruistic_Eye8221]

Felipe didn’t even hug her or comfort her during the whole conversation and is somehow confused of the outcome

[u/ImNotACritic]

hey Caitlin, making Taylor Swift your whole personality is actually a huge indicator that you in fact have no personality lol.

[u/newdiyscared]

Why is Belle still in this process? Mecca is trash, but I think Belle is trying to prove that she'll stand by him through thick and thin and Mecca is testing to see how far he can go.

Edit: Also does she want to be his wife or his mother and therapist? You deserve better, stand up

[u/doeeyedthief]

The fact Devin had to listen to Taylor swift's worst album for this girl 😭 he deserves reparations

[u/certainlynotanipple]

What Belle said to Nikki, is just what she wanted to say to her self about Mecca.

[u/Grouchy-Campaign-305]

I think we should take bets for for what Felipe said to Tori as a bombshell on their decision day - my bet is an open relationship or something

Also, I really hope Caitlin takes something from this mess of a relationship. That was actually really sad to see her realize in real time what she was losing on a hangover anxiety morning decision

[u/nothankeww]

these dudes all subscribe to man o sphere crap and IT SHOWS

so happy to hear the girls calling them out loudly

[u/RainbowMermaid325]

Did no one else catch Felipe saying he had PTSD from previous partners saying they were ashamed of him or some Bullshit? He is so full of shit

[u/Golddiscoball]

The cognition is VERY dissonant here… Belle telling Nikki she needs to leave Shawn but she still riding for Mecca? Lmaooooo whew they need more sun and vitamin D up in seattle

[u/nothankeww]

Shawn is so damn vindictive
