What is wrong with Paige is right. She clearly does not know what mental abuse is and I don't think God would want her dealing with that

OH MY GOD. What is wrong with Paige?! There is a whole lot wrong with Paige . I just don't get it . Chris is just about the worst person to happen to any woman , not alone Paige. Chris creeps me out. He always has a look on his face like he is on something. That is just my feeling of him. I could be wrong. Where are her friends and family , to talk to her and to open her eyes about what is going on with Chris. He is clearly playing with her feelings.

I don't even feel sorry for her anymore. If my daughter would make a fool of herself on TV , I at least would talk to her about it . Paige needs to get help .

Agreed. I don’t feel sorry for her either. She gets what she gets. There must be some “payoff” for her to continue allowing him to mistreat her. Maybe she likes it, maybe it’s the challenge, maybe it’s her “thinking”. I’m so over her.

Does anyone watch the Australian version of MAFS? They are quite a lively group. Once I found out that they don't actually get married, I wasn't interested. It's just dating I don't really enjoy trashy drama either and the one episode - watched, as well as the previews and the few articles I've read about it are filled with it.
As the season progresses, I feel less and less sorry for Paige. Yeah, she got a raw deal with they matched her with Chris, but she's doing NOTHING to help herself. That smirky, superior expression of his makes me wish there was someone around who'd smack it off his face. He's scum. She's acting like a doormat, but he's still scum.
I wish I liked Erik, but he's just too "Captain Mainsplaining" with Virginia. As if she can't have formed an opinion about anything and he needs to teach her.
While it must suck for Jacob to know that Haley's just not into him, I can't say I blame her. I find him really unappealing. He's just decided what the scenario is and Haley can't tell him any different. IMO, he needs to get into therapy so that, in his next relationship, he won't constantly be running scenarios in his head based on previous relationships.
I think Ryan and Clara will be okay. The editing feels misleading with them. I think they'll get there eventually.
Briana and Vincent are just the sweetest. It just seems like a really great match.

There are two things I dislike about Chris: 1) The way he constantly purses his lips which, by definition, is an expression of disapproval and 2) Endlessly saying "you know what I mean" or "you know what I'm talking about." Both annoying habits.
Paige needs a good wake-up call for being so desperate to have a man in her life. It's painful to watch the abuse she takes.

Both annoying habits. Paige needs a good wake-up call for being so desperate to have a man in her life. It's painful to watch the abuse she takes. "You know what I'm saying?" is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's not used to actually ask the question - it's just a weird tic. The other thing that pissed me off was him saying "yo" to Paige in that one episode. Dude, she's your wife. Drop the "yo." He's of course, on the attack against anyone and everyone who's said a negative thing about him. Clearly, he's not going to learn one thing from this experience. I hope he ends up broke and alone.
Paige is so sweet, but I agree that she really needs to learn her worth. If you lay down on the floor and paint "welcome" on your forehead, people will wipe their feet on you. For some women, there's nothing worse than NOT being in a relationship. I can think of several things....

MAFS FAN says in her Instagram spoilers that... {Spoiler} Chris and Paige ultimately decide to divorce on Decision Day but there are reports that they continued to get together and then break up again several times following that decision. I think Paige's problems are just as serious at Chris's are.

I stopped watching this season. I may binge-watch to catch up, but so far I think the entire season is gross.
Everything about Chris is a hustle and, of course, a balancing act. How does he keep a girl like Paige coming back for more? He works for that, and for that other girl and who knows how many other women he's played or is playing. The only payoff I see for Chris is the drama and there appears to be plenty of it.

I plead ignorance being a Canadian but I figured that New Orleans and Atlanta being Southern Cities would have somewhat similar people. Are they that culturally different or is it casting? I would have liked to hang out with the New Orleans people...well most of them. There were three that I think having a few pints at a bar would be a good night out. The Atlanta guys seem so off. Definitely lacking personality, not fun, borderline creepy. I don't even want to get started on Stepdad.

Definitely lacking personality, not fun, borderline creepy. I don't even want to get started on Stepdad. Yeah, Atlanta and New Orleans are worlds apart. Completely different culture and vibe and they attract, I think, largely different types of people. Atlanta is much more Big City. New Orleans is like nowhere else.
Man, both Chris and Erik were both a-holes tonight. When Chris said he didn't care about Paige's dog....well, done. Then Erik says something about Rockie being "Just a dog." If a man ever said that my cats were "just cats," we'd be done. I totally understand Virginia's feelings about Rockie. I had a cat like that - I went though some really difficult times and I really believe that cat saved my life. If someone started criticizing him. I would probably have reacted the same way Virginia did. And NO, Rockie is not Erik's dog too; he's Virginia's dog.
It seems to me that Virginia is a lot more emotionally intelligent than she seemed initially and certainly more than Erik gives her credit for. Erik's constant threats about "if this thing doesn't happen, I'm done" doesn't smack of mature adult behavior.
It felt like Haley was trying tonight and Jacob was just shutting her down at every turn. They go to the go cart thing, she wins and he acts like a big baby. She talked about liking Pearl Jam, he criticizes. She cooks dinner, he grudgingly and barely compliments it. He's just too much work.
Vincent and Cookie I can't even. I love that, when he talks about their life together, he always includes Cookie.
I think Ryan is showing how much he cares about Clara by wanting to be a better dog dad. Maybe it's not the way she'd want him to show his affection, but it's something. Vincent and Briana might be the only couple that can make it long term. Others may stay together at Decision Day, these two have the best chance to make it, IMO.

Did Clara say about Ryan (near the end, with the girls) that "Ryan gets off every night, and I get nothing..."? I wasn't sure I heard correctly!

Yes, Clara did say that. She's made comments numerous times about their doing "just about everything" except intercourse. So if that's true, he's being very selfish while getting satisfied and she gets nothing.

What's sad is he doesn't even realize it I loved Pastor Cal's talk with him. I really wanted him to be even tougher with him. Chris is such a smug a-hole. Walking in late like he hadn't inconvenienced the entire production and then acting like he was totally blameless AND that it was the experts' fault that he wasn't attracted to Paige I sort of wish Dr. Pepper had been there to really knock him down.
I did like that Dr. Pepper gave Erik a little perspective about Rockie by comparing him to a child. I thought that was right on the nose. It felt like he turned that comment about alcohol around and tried to make it seem like it was only about Virginia. We all know it was about both of them.
It really does seem, based on comments made on Unfiltered and by other participants, that Ryan and Clara are doing fine. He seems pretty secure in himself and says he isn't bothered by her comments. He really seems to appreciate that she communicates very openly about serious topics. I thought from the very beginning that they'd be okay because, right away, they got down to it and talked really easily about important issues. They definitely weren't asking "what's your favorite color?" on the wedding night!
I feel sorry for both Jacob and Haley. It's just a total mismatch.
Vincent and Briana seem to still be doing well.

I thought in the preview he said, "Chris what planet are you from?" but the actual conversation didn't show that I do think Dr. Pepper would have been tougher with him. I liked her conversation with Paige. Erik has some trouble communicating. I don't think things always come out of his mouth like he planned. I found it odd that Virginia was so happy about Erik letting the dog thing go but as soon as he said something negative she went on the defensive.

I thought Dr Pepper and Stepdad was interesting. He obviously didn't expect to be corrected regarding Victoria's dog situation. When Dr Pepper warned against discussing serious/heavy topics when THEY have been drinking, he was looking like he wanted to take notes to confront Victoria. Stepdad is about control...whenever he drops a "do this or I'm out'..."we don't have to be married"..."Victoria you're my wife"..."you haven't been in a serious relationship, I have" It's all about asserting control. Stepdad is manipulative. I don't know what Victoria sees in him and I actually don't know why he's interested in her. He just seems to want to change her to make himself more comfortable.
Ryan/Clara: I think Ryan is scared of sex or using it as a virtue badge. Weird.
Jacob is creepy (I may have mentioned this in the past lol) I feel so bad for Haley. Such a mismatch. I can't believe she's still in the same apt with him.

Unfortunately it looks like Jephte and Shawniece may be having issues/have separated.
They have both been posting cryptic things on their Instagram stories.
She has removed all photos of him from Instagram and had her name hyphenated and it is now back to just Jackson.
He posted a story about being a single father now but it looks like it’s gone.

Sad, they looked like they'd make it. But this show is filled with losers at love. Maybe in countries like India, where arranged marriages are the norm, it works. Here, not so much! But here in the West marriage/divorce is a toss-up. Maybe chances of success are no better than arranged relationships.

I finally binge-watched and whoever edits this show didn't dwell much upon what I consider to be a HUGE tidbit concerning Erik and Virginia. From a small portion of their conversation, we now know Erik doesn't have a regular schedule and Virginia appears to plan her party weekends well in advance. That being said, we watched Erik asking Virginia to cancel with her friends --- just once a month if it happens they learn he has a weekend off --- and Virginia pushed back. Not good. My take on Erik is that he is guilty of (what did the video panel call it?) husband-splaining and Virginia is both immature and drinks way too much. However, they both talk about how they get along so well except for when one or both are drunk. Time will tell ...

I'm so sad to hear about Shawniece and Jephte. It really did seem like they'd gotten to a good place. One of the things I don't like about social media is that is enables people a platform where they can be completely and totally cryptic Neither of them is really saying anything in their posts/tweets. Then they delete some stuff. Either come out and say what happened or just don't. Say "We broke up. Please give us our privacy while we work through things" like every other public couple. This silly drama is childish. I'm glad for Shawniece that she lives near her family. Hopefully, she'll be able to stay in that apartment with Laura.
