I think I may see these couples quite differently than some. It's interesting to see other opinions. I find the guys are really creepy. All of them. Strange, strange guys. Controlling (IMO) and lacking personality. Chris isn't worth talking about. Paige...Paige...Paige. If Chris telling everyone he didn't find you attractive. Personally telling you he didn't find you attractive. His father and Chris mentioning that you need to satisfy him sexually...all the time. His arrogant views on gender roles, bank accounts ect weren't enough...He got his ex pregnant during the show's audition process...He made a show of himself during the honeymoon...He told you that even with a child you're his #1 priority and then within hours told you he's thought about getting back with his Ex...flew to see his Ex...told you he wanted a divorce. YOU STILL don't know if your together or not???? Any reasonable person would be behind their own locked door wiping the sweat off their brow because they came close to ruining their life but dodged a bullet. Erik is acting like a new stepdad trying to assert control over a teenage stepdaughter. He's a rules guy. Victoria shouldn't be sleeping on a guy friends couch but she should be allowed to have guy friends. He talks like he's a relationship expert but all his past relationships failed, maybe his methods are a turnoff. Victoria need a bit of growth but she's putting up with his low key misogyny really well. V seems to be trying. I think Haley is just extremely weirded out by Jacob and not attracted to him. He's an odd dude. I wouldn't feel comfortable with him, alone...anywhere. He's like the loner at work that you wouldn't want to be first to a meeting with..or the first to arrive at a work function. The pauses between words/sentences would be hard enough to stand but he doesn't say anything worth the wait. Ryan seems very conservative/proper. I see problems. Vincent...what is wrong with you dude? Waaaaaayyy over sensitive. Either that or it's a controlling method. He looked ready to snap during his "you disrespected me" whine. He's tightly wound. I'm not sure any of these couples should stay married...and they just got back from the honeymoon lol

I don't get Paige’s thinking. She makes me think of someone who has been previously abused. Her having sex on command says so much. I might be wrong. I'm glad Pastor Cal said he wouldn't fight for their marriage. It's a 💩 show.
I think Vincent is overly sensitive and immature. Walking out solves nothing. Grow up.
Virginia is another who needs to grow up. What in her mind makes it' ok to sleep at any male’s home overnight?
Molly and Jake seem ill-matched but you ever know, they may turn out to be the perfect match.

Paige needs to divorce Chris ASAP! Don't let HIM be the one saying he wants a divorce! and bringing the fiancee' in? They're really milking this for all the drama. Vincent was like a different person once they got back, hopefully they work things out. Virginia seems to still have a lot of growing up to do. Erik does treat her a little like a step-daughter. He should probably lighten up a little. I just don't see the chemistry with Clara and Ryan

I couldn’t stand the smirk on Chris’s face the whole time he was there. Than to say all that about his ex and than say your falling for Paige please. I thought when he was getting his bags she was letting him back. The previews show she meets his ex, heck no.
Not sure what happened there with Vincent , I did him him say it was embarrassing when he went into the bathroom with her. I probably would have joked with him too .Not sure why it had to go further. Guess we will have to see how this will go and if it happens again.
I agree with the person who said Erik is more like a father figure to her. To me she acts like a teenager than a 26 year old.
Hailey and Jake are not going to work. Her place was very nice. Plus 4 dogs all at once. He was fast making sure her dog wasn’t hurt. He is hurt , heck he just wanted to hold hands. She has already given up.
Ryan and Clara seem to be doing ok. I liked Pastor Cal tell him what love is. Loved they comprised on the laundry...lol

We were screaming at the TV when Paige actually giggled and smiled at Chris after he whispered that bs in her ear. What on earth!? She needs to grow a backbone and walk away. He doesn't really care about her nor is he, IMO, in any danger of falling in love with her. He just wants her to want him. Scumbag.
Virginia seems to think that marriage means her life just continues as it did when she was single. All this talk about how she and her friends go out drinking three nights a week, as if that's what she's going to keep doing and Erik just needs to adapt. I've had many male friends and didn't have any romantic feelings for them, but if I was married, I'd definitely not be sleeping on their couches. It's a matter of respect, especially since it's clear Erik would not be okay with her doing that. He seems VERY eager to make this marriage work, and if it lasts, that'll probably be the reason.
I like Clara and Ryan together. I think they're both really good communicators. No, not everything in their relationship is perfect, but they seem to be able to work out compromises.
Jacob's nasty dog seems to be the only one in that situation who knows the relationship is doomed!
While it seems like a few couples have the potential for long term marriages, it's hard to feel optimistic. Last season, we had three really strong matches who all seem to be doing great. By comparison, none of the couples seem as strong.
I got caught up on Couples Cam last night and wow do I find AJ annoying! There are some couples who just live their lives and have fun stuff to record and others seem to do really contrived nonsense. I don't care about cheese steaks or pumpkin carving....or drones I'm so glad for Woody & Amani and Miles & Karen that they live so close and are able to easily spend time together. Karen and Miles seem to much more solid than I would have thought they'd be halfway through their season.
I really felt for Doug and Jamie with Henley's meltdowns and deciding whether or not to put her back in school. It sounds like they found the safest option they could and she did look SO happy after her first day of school. It was very sweet of Ashley to find a sonogram place that would let Anthony go with her, so he could see the baby.
I have no idea what Jamie does for a living, but he must make VERY good money. There's hardly a house in Santa Barbara that goes for under $1M and definitely not one that size. Looks like they bought it furnished because I don't recognize that furniture. They had me rolling my eyes about the moving van. You have this very important move and you didn't reserve a moving van ahead of time The drive from SF to SB on 101 (which is the way it looked like they took) is SO long. They were probably on the road for at least 5 or 6 hours each way. I don't understand why they didn't take the night and then drive back to SB the next morning. Maybe they'd literally had to be out of the old place that night That ghost stuff is stupid. If someone had died in that house, they would have known it ahead of time. I'm pretty sure realtors have to disclose that kind of thing.
The little "zoo" that Bobby and Danielle did for Olivia was really cute. Their lab was definitely game for all those costumes!
It was so nice to see Mindy last night! She talked about a new guy, which sounded promising. When I checked her IG, it looks like she moved to Mexico, at least temporarily. I'm sure she's not been getting any work teaching/coaching figure skating, so maybe she just decided to get away for a while. No guy in pics on her IG, btw.

Couples cam storys appear to be running six to 10 months behind. Jamie makes excellent money and the house we watched the couple move into is a furnish rental. I don't remember from where I learned these details, but my best guess is youtube videos.

Chris is a pouty little baby and I’m glad MAFS is showing his true personality. I loved when his former fiancé said they are NOT talking about getting back together! Chris couldn’t stand being humiliated.

Chris couldn’t stand being humiliated. Yes, I was glad that Mercedes told him to stop, LOL! Also thought it was nice that she and Paige seemed to get along. Haley is just not feeling Jake, it's so obvious. Still not seeing it with Clara and Ryan. I think Vince and Briana will probably make it. Virginia and Erik, they have some issues but I think they might make it.

Yes I saw that Chris and his ex was in Mexico. She doesn’t look pregnant either. Of course she said she was 7 weeks last night. When was this filmed. Loved when Paige said she could be pregnant too and his ex said with who’s baby....lol
Than how rude Chris was with the pastors , he wasn’t listening to them at all, looks at his phone etc.
Vincent’s friend was my favourite last night. Laughing about what Vincent said about why he was mad. He gave him good advice about all people are different and think different from him. I hope they make it.
Hailey’s friend too told her she was running because she didn’t like his clothes...lol Hailey says she will try but her face says different.
Weird that Clara hasn’t seen Ryan without his shirt. Isn’t he one that works out a lot too.
Erik and Virginia, she is pretty hyper like her dog...lol. Where were the cats.

I hope Chris disappears from this season asap. What a contridiction. "I'm going to go home and read the bible and catch up on the football scores". What a donkey. I'm a religious guy so therefore I'm a good guy. Barf. And while the Pastors were trying to get Chris to stay with Paige...I was actually cringing NOOooooo.
Stepdad calling Victoria every hour or so while she was at a wedding? WTF. Then he tries to get her to agree that this was totally fine. And he tried to say that he was able to tame her dog and that the dog is only misbehaved because of her. I think we're getting an idea why his first marriage didn't work.
Vincent has some major insecurities. "I don't want to be disrespected", "you have a smart mouth". Buh bye.
Clara and Ryan. He seems judgemental. Tightly wound. Square. Not sure it's a match.
Hailey is creeped out. Jake IS creepy. I'm also creeped out by Jake. Weird dude.

Chris' reaction to things not going his way seems to be to act like a petulant child. First, the pastors don't support him and then his wife and his ex-fiancee bond and call him out on his bs. When Chris claimed he'd been genuine (or whatever lie it was), I really wish Paige had brought up that, right after he told Pastor Cal he wanted a divorce, he was flirting with her and talking about how he was afraid of falling in love with her He sucks. Chris clearly thinks he a great looking guy, but both of those pastors(?) made him look like dog meat. We were sitting here like While I think Vincent did overreact, I can't say that Briana was in the right either. She was a bit sarcastic and mocking with him. They may be married, but she still doesn't know him very well, so she doesn't know his sensitivities. He obviously doesn't react well to being spoken to like that. I think it's likely because of what he mentioned about his previous ex not thinking he was good enough/ambitious enough because he didn't finish college. Maybe the tone Briana was taking felt like her talking down to him I think they can make it, but they do need to learn how to speak to each other. I was glad that Vincent didn't actually leave and go to his apartment. I do think Clara and Ryan will make it, at least to decision day. Who knows if ANY of the MAFS couples will be forever? I think both Clara and Ryan are pretty good and direct communicators. They also don't seem to lash out when they feel hurt, like we've seen with both Vincent and Jacob. Jacob wondered if he was too old for Haley. I think he's too immature. He keeps talking about the 80s. IIRC, he was born in '83. That's not being a child of the 80s, dude. That's being a child DURING the 80s. Very different, IMO. I grew up in the 80s and I love the music and movies, but I don't have the stuff strewn about my house. I feel for Haley, because he's so immature and doesn't seem to know how to be in a relationship. He talks about how he's older, but he hasn't learned to leave the baggage from past relationships in the past! I do think it's telling that Haley's longtime friend has never seen her in a relationship. Maybe neither of them knows how to be in a relationship. It definitely seems like Virginia's drinking is going to come to a head. IMO, when grown adults brag about their alcohol tolerance, that's a problem. That conversation about her out-drinking her friends with shots wasn't funny. If I was Erik, I'd be less concerned about her guy friends than with her drinking.

Yeah, Virginia's bragging about her drinking is an enormous red flag to me. I love my evening cocktail, but it's not a lifestyle to me! I'm wondering if any of these match-ups can make it.

I don’t get Paige either why didn’t she just leave after saying don’t waste my time. Did we see her answer the Pastor about divorcing Chris. Did he talk her back into it.
What is with Clara bitting all the donuts, if you only want half cut it. He was getting deep with her or telling him how he ticked and she was like no never think that way...lol
Vincent mad again because he is embarrassed but Bri could see something was wrong. Again he doesn’t tell her. Why didn’t he say let me show you a dance I know . He needs to let loosen up he isn’t going to be perfect every time.
Hailey those new clothes did not change the way he looked...lol every time I see her I think of Jessica from last season, they could be sisters. Not sure why she made fun of his gym room , she knows he likes to be fit. The guys were impressed about his large house. Can’t believe she left him again to talk to Paige in the middle of the night. These 2 are done....
Eric really into Virginia . It would be hard to be away so much. Not why he couldn’t cook and play guitar for he at there place. Guess he wanted his fancy lights...lol

nicksmom Eric said it was because he wanted it to be an evening like after the show is over, just hanging out at home. Maybe he just felt more comfortable cooking there, knows exactly what he wanted was there to use. I get used to my own stove and am much less comfortable cooking elsewhere. However, I don't like to cook but he does son maybe it was about the lights! I feel bad for Paige. She takes her vows so seriously which is an admirable trait, but at this point she needs to stick with what she knows about him and get out of there. I'd be willing to bet money that Chris is only coming around telling her those things because he wants sex from her. He is very manipulative. If the ex-fiancee is still with him she should be seeing his true character too and get out of there. Wow, his pastor didn't hold back words on how he felt Chris was- unstable. Even used a verse to explain his stance. If Chris was never going to talk to him just because he met with Paige without getting Chris's permission I can only guess what Chris feels like after hearing what he told Paige. Paige and his ex should really be noticing how often Chris tries to control who he thinks Paige is supposed to interact with and what she's allowed to talk to them about. I think it's probably the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his manipulations. I think Hailey and Jake are never going to work and couldn't work. She doesn't understand his humor in the least, and isn't in to him at all. He seems to think he knows exactly how she should act but I don't think he takes her different personality into account. The thing with Paige was a little odd, but I could see both sides of what they were both saying.

Post by downsey on Mar 11, 2021 18:11:00 GMT
Paige's faith has to be blamed for her to sit down with Chris with a big lovely smile on her face. What has Chris done aside from saying "I Do" to warrant that smile? The only "resolution" he came to when he picked up the phone was he wanted to get laid...possibly to look better for the cameras.
Jacob keeps trying to tell Hailey why she hasn't fallen in love with him, why she doesn't feel physically attractive to him. No surprise, Jacob thinks it's all Hailey's fault. I think it's because Hailey is terrified of spending ANY time with him, let alone the rest of her life. I expected one of the guys to try to open a closed door in the basement and Jacob to turn pale. Silence of the Lambs vibes..."It puts the lotion in the basket!"
Vincent...chill man. Lighten up. He's waaaaayyy too tightly wound.
Stepdad and Erika. Don't like the guy. Too many rules. Too many "I'm out" clauses. Erika is going to look like a 50yr old bye the time she's 30 if she doesn't curb the drinks. Having said that...they both seem to want to give it a go. I think he loves her looks...I think she may like his maturity. Don't know.
Clara taking a bite out of every doughnut was just all sorts of wrong. Come on...is there no doughnut etiquette in Atlanta? Ryan is also very tightly wound...the speech during doughnuts seemed to be for the cameras. Weird time and place. It's doughnuts not a stroll to watch the sun go down with a bottle of wine. I actually liked Clara's "have a free doughnut and listen to a motivational speech" line. lol

If "every" relationship you've ever been in resulted your wife/girlfirend cheating...then there probably is something wrong with you. Orrrrr...you exaggerated/concocted your experience in "every" relationship in an attempt to control who your wife can be friends with.

I started to wonder if I was the only person thinking this. At first I felt sorry for her but there was one episode a while back, it may have been with Pastor Cal, that I most DEFINITELY saw a smirk on Paige's face. I believe this is all a scam and they are both there for the $, which is why she hasn't left yet. I also don't believe that his former fiancee Mercedes was ever pregnant. There are photos of them vacationing in the Caribbean or Mexico or some tropical location and not enough time had passed for her to have given birth and Mercedes is obviously not pregnant. Chris said that she tragically had a miscarriage. I call baloney. I also don't believe he bought her a Mercedes Benz. I don't believe one word that comes out of his mouth.

Agree, that Chris didn't buy a "Benz" even if, there are plenty of other reliable, safe cars that aren't as expensive.
Virginia actually seemed pretty mature talking through their issues.
Not sure what Ryan's deal is "not taking care" of Clara.
Vince and Bri, kinda boring.
Haley and Jacob, just call it quits now, she obviously doesn't like him.
