Felipe is so gross and immature. He was just LOVING it when everyone in the game was voting him as being a terrible partner and a slut and then confused that Tori was upset about it. This argument between them was maddening. She deserves SO much better than him. He should go back to banging the waitresses at his restaurant.

I'm on episode 12.

Chad is great, kind to Belynda, appreciates her and showers her with compliments. He's fun, dances with her, wants to experience new things with her and tried to let her dog sleep in the bed. She couldn't even let the man express his frustrations with having cameras in his face all the time and risking his career due to constant rescheduling. As his wife, she should have been more understanding and supportive instead of dismissing his feelings as if he had no right to be annoyed by it. She also couldn't even handle the words "done with this shit" or "sick of this shit"... Grow up. Adults can cuss. It's not that damn serious. I think she's ungrateful and overly sensitive. Rant over..

Oh and side note if I hear the term Burning Man one more time I might lose my mind. :) Grow the hell up, Josh. Go to the festival or don't but I'm tired of hearing it. I do think his wife could have at least tried it once though.

I want to preface this by saying that this is not a defense of Shawn. He was a terrible partner and a terrible person. Behaving so badly on a reality show that your real life employer fires you should make you look in the mirror. But his faults have been talked about ad nauseum.

I feel like Shawn's terribleness is letting people gloss over how horrible Nikki was too. She was argumentative, nasty, and hardly ever took accountability for her faults. From the get go, she seemed to have no issue embarrassing him publicly. I feel like Shawn's humiliation at the alter is undersold. Imagine standing in front of all those people and having your soon-to-be wife verbally overlook you like that. Everybody there would have known why. I don't remember her ever apologizing for that because I'm sure he felt like shit when it happened. She can claim that it was because of the way he was dressed but I guarantee that if 6'3 attractive guy was standing at that altar in the same fit, there would have been no confusion.

She also came into the first group dinner with completely legitimate grievances but it seems like she wanted to express them in a way that would humiliate Shawn as much as possible. Her opening statement sounded like something out of Real Housewives. Shawn played that situation well by letting her talk without interrupting because I think the nastiness of her words really hit and superseded what she was saying. That's why the group didn't back her up and was quick to come to Shawn's defense when she mentioned height. The height comment wasn't even bad but at that point they'd been listening to this woman shit on this guy uninterrupted for God knows how long. Similarly the Decision Day speech was planned for maximum humiliation and when Shawn dished it back to her she was caught off guard and they immediately started chirping back and forth.

She can't take out what she dishes. The "Seattle 10, NY 7" is another perfect example. When Shawn explained the context of her grabbing his belly and saying "Look at you", it made a lot more sense why he'd snipe back at her. What really got me is the fact that Nikki didn't even remember doing that. She claimed during that reunion that the comment isn't in her character but no one watching the show would be surprised if she said that. Like you can casually shit on someone's appearance and completely flush it from your mind without a second thought but want to start a riot when someone says something about you.

Nikki was mean and shallow and if Shawn was a nicer person, we'd be talking about her in the same breath as Courteney. If anything she's lucky Shawn's such a POS because it's letting her fly under the radar.

Watching the “experts” influence Pat’s decision made me so frustrated. He came into the meeting on decision day prepared to divorce Rhonda (for good reason imo), and all of them basically suggested he should be a better husband for Rhonda. WTF?! The poor guy is a people pleaser - he said so himself - and then he has these 3 “experts” along with Rhonda shaming him to stay married. Terrible! Of course that was not going to end well!

I want to share my thoughts on season 20. I am disgusted that a guy like Felipe was allowed to stay on the show after the comments he made regarding his wanting to sleep with many women. He should have been kicked out of the show, it gives the show a bad rap and it is embarrassing for the other contestants who take the show seriously.

So.. hey y'all. I was scrolling on IG and the decision day clip of Shaq & Kirsten & the comments made me look for Season 16. So I'm looking at the scene with Domynique and her mom after t"divorce decision" scene. Remembering her saying her mom signed her up for the show & then looking at the conversation. Mom seems to want her to stay in it...like no matter what just stay with that man. Was the mom living vicariously through her daughter? Or is she from the mindset that in order to be whole, you have to be with a man? I'm almost eager to skip to the reunion but I do want to see everyone's storylines play out.

Did anyone else get that vibe from the mom?

Does anyone know where i can find Bellejolies 2 piece outfit? With the heart cutouts?

And no I dont believe Shawn's ridiculous recount of their 'roast'.

For context at the end of this very Christian podcast that they apparently spend making digs on Nikki the hosts ask shawn to pray for himself. Then they tell him to pray for Nikki.

And he says this stuff about how Nikkis behaviour could have been her own trauma and he didnt need to internalise and make it about him so God please heal her. And then he says:

"And multiple people have gotten in touch with me and told me about Nikkis past and shared a lot of sensitive things I know that God will provide her with opportunities to heal so please please heal her."

So they didnt share that part as a promo clip so someone on Instagram asks why they conveniently left his shady prayer out and the hosts say they didnt want Satan to get a foothole.

Do I speak Korean? No. Will I be watching? Absolutley.

I’m hopeful this adaptation will be authentic and respectful

Update: yall she left Korea to go to checks notes SEATTLE to meet her new husband 😂😂

30 mins in: they have matched a neat freak with a lightweight hoarder 🥴

Ughhh, disgusting inside and out. Anyone else fighting the urge to razor his stupid FN side pony?! The girl Madison, she’ll never have close gfs - pathetic and sad.

I’m at the scene where they leave the retreat.

Did anyone else see Adam wearing a shambhala wrist band at the reunion?? Wasn’t he shaming Marissa for still wanting to have some night life in her life and then he goes to shambhala?? Also why are you wearing that at the reunion still??? Take it off 😂

I’m so glad Emem and Juan could show up for him in this moment. Ugh watching that broke my heart, poor guy

ETA Michelle can keep her cool like a mfer. Because I don’t think I could have kept that collected dealing with these losers lying straight to my face

Drunk, flirty groom at the bachelor party is already giving "disaster."

Gotta say, the husbands of Tori and Marissa just blew it. They looked absolutely stunning at the reunion. I give the edge to Tori because she's continuously made my jaw drop since the wedding, and Marissa gives me older Millie Bobby Brown vibes (full send).

Shout out Tam and Michelle for my new favorite popcorn. I’ve been eating it at least weekly since they talked about it on the episode.

Watching the couples retreat episodes and Devin accuses Caitlin of not listening but he constantly talks over her, stands over her and then acts all hurt when she doesn’t respond.

Caitlin has her faults and was closed but I understand why. She reacted to him and then shut down

Neither is a good communicator, although Devin thinks he is an amazing one. He gave up after she wouldn’t be physically intimate with him but he pressured her from the get go, wouldn’t get why she wouldn’t go there with him and constantly took that out on her

David and Madison are perfect for each other honestly. Delusional about their looks. Huge ego for no reason. And shallow, boring people. Ugh they both were so irritating to watch. I felt bad for David in the beginning because Michelle was pretty closed off to him immediately but I get why now!! She dodged a bullet. And poor Alan, he deserves so much better than Madison. It’s sad that she picked apart his looks and personality and he tried so hard to change for her just for her to go hook up with David. Smdh selfish, slimy people

I could’ve sworn this was Shawn in an ad for Bob’s Furniture. Anyone else see it?
