I'd like to clone myself. My luck, the clone wouldn't want to attend mindless meetings either.

I don't think that means what you think that means. I'm not on team anyone. I don't think Ashley's motives were less pure than David's. Both were doing it for the money. (according to David's mom at least he was and pretty much all the Ashley detractors accuse her of it.) David was on Tinder according to his mom, makes out with random girls at bars according to his friends, sucks at dating according to him --- none of that screams looking for marriage but he did act like he wanted to be married to a pretty girl. Ashley had 2 ltrs, no time to find the one (due to school and work), maybe was hoping to find a guy, maybe was hoping to make an ex jealous. Not seeing how one motive is better than another. Ashley saw David and wasn't into him. She did warm up a little when he didn't force a kiss on her at the reception. She had a moment on the honeymoon where she also seemed to warm up to him. Then it looked like she shut down. Why? Well, maybe David was coming on too strong. Maybe something else was going on. They were not a good match. Ashley is very measured, very slow to respond, period. Not just with David but in every interaction we saw. David would be better with someone more outgoing. I don't agree with the experts that they need to match people to improve the other person. Ashley needs to work on her communication and openness. David needs to work on his tempo and maybe delve into why he wants to skip over the getting to know you stage. Sam needs to work on her aggression and childish behavior. Neil needs to work on his communication and passive aggressive snipes. Vanessa and Tres need to work on their abandonment issues; Vanessa also needs to learn not to sabotage herself.

Is there going to be a reunion show? Or a recap show?

Every time Ashley looked at David and recoiled when he came near her, was telling him that she wasn't attracted to him. David didn't want to see it. He's pasty, pudgy, got jacked up teeth and he's not her type. Maybe she thought she'd be open to a different look and then saw him and was all "nope". David = Sam. Ashley = Neil. Sam was the aggressor with any affection and physical contact. Neil barely reciprocated. Sam was constantly talking at Neil as David was always talking at Ashley. Both Sam and David complained about their respective spouses' poor communication. Neil never outright rejected Sam for her looks but occasionally made passive aggressive snide comments about her less than charming personality. But that's OK because it was to Sam. Ashley just stammered and was stand-offish. YET... Ashley is vile, evil, etc etc. Poor Neil, rescue Neil. How dare Ashley treat David that way? Again, poor Neil. That's your #doublestandard.

This week's episodes on Tattletales, Gene Rayburn is the guest host as Bert Convy and his wife are the celeb contestants! Bert's wife Anne is stunning.

Lucky Neil.

Seems that it's more based on who the posters liked and the comments weren't objective. I, for one, grew tired of hearing about Ashley's mustache (seriously, it's a shadow, I doubt there was even stubble, the make-up and lighting weren't her friends) and Sam's midsection and comments about their shorts. It's Atlanta, it's hot, they are all in decent shape. But since Ashley and Sam were mostly reviled, there were few posts that didn't include pot shots about their looks. It's akin to name calling in my opinion. If that's the best you can do...

say it ain't so!

accidentally on purpose! She's so calculated.

Sam's instagram

Hotlanta! Yea, I thought Ashley was in decent shape which we saw a lot of with her outfits. Again Hotlanta. Sam's clothes were a little snug around the midsection but that could be due to the bulk of the mic pack. And again Hotlanta. Vanessa I thought dressed well for her shape and, probably in person, doesn't look over weight at all. David & Tres were pudgy especially around the middle - too many dorito nachos and beer I guess! Only critique that I'd give Sam was around her hair - she had the just out of bed unkempt look. Always. Probably the humidity wasn't helping, but I'd get weekly blowouts then.

I don't know. I have had that thunderbolt type of chemistry with 4 guys and of the 3 I dated, oh gawd. Yea, parts of the relationship were great but other parts, not so good. All were roller coasters of emotions. I'd rather have mental chemistry and baseline attraction than the other way around. At least that's how I feel now!

lol. It's tempting. None of the men were gorgeous. All had physical flaws and only Neil was in good shape. So much discussion of the women's weight when none of them were nearly as overweight or out of shape as David and Tres. Different standards still exist. eta: Neil spells it with an "i".

She also only packed 1 melt. I don't believe they really lived there together for the last 2 weeks. I think it was just for the show.

Yay more random bashing of the female participants based on their looks! /s I am not sure that Sam actually moved into the 2nd rental. Her pets weren't there. She said she stayed at her place when Neil was away. Feels like that move was for the show only. eta: Neil spells it with an "i".

Emily responded to someone who asked if the marriage was legal:

I wouldn't be surprised if Mitch was gay or Bi. I think the way Emily handled it by setting her actress friend Suziey (really?) ask on camera was all wrong. Then Emily's non asking asking and non answering answering with a smirk was even more wrong

Isn't that Neil? Didn't he say he wasn't attracted to Sam to one of his friends? He certainly did not seem into her physically. eta: Neil spells it with an "i".

Was this on the A&E episode? I didn't see it. On the FYI version or an extra? If you could post a link that'd be great, thanks.

and the definition of "helped".

Yea, I think it's an act myself but we'll see! Why on earth though was Sam shooting the video diary with her nostrils at the center? I'm not an ENT doctor, I do not need to see that! I like asking the question to both at the same time while they are next to each other on the couch and them flipping over a card with their answer. You'd still get the reaction faces without a changing of answer. Might even still get the walk-off.

Em's getting ugly about it, blaming Mitch, his parents, the producers, editing etc https://www.facebook.com/EmmyKatActress/?fref=ts https://twitter.com/erhoads32 http://tofo.me/emmykat32 She claims because it's a crappy reality show, she didn't want to expose her family and friends to it. But that she joined the show because actresses need love too. And that she subjected (her words) her friend Suziey (nice) to it because she's tough or some crap. Not because S is an actress too and this would be good for both their reels. OK. Just own it.

Really? Hmmm. Can you post a link to her account? NVM. Found them. Em is really trashing Mitch. But also kinda lets it out that they weren't really married, just fake married for the show. Hmmm.

Ashley reminds me of Neal that way -- very stiff when the camera crew is around, more relaxed when they aren't. I'm not surprised that the arrest isn't exactly as David recounted to People and shame on People mag for not fact checking. I continue to be surprised at people who go on reality shows with skeletons who seem surprised when the stuff comes out. I am also not surprised that those who proclaimed the arrestee (making up a word) wasn't MAFS David but if it was, it wasn't serious, are now proclaiming that they are tired of the subject and it's time to move on. Ashley's bike riding ex-bf's blog was dissected at length and that was just his opinion. An arrest record isn't really an opinion. Ashley's mustache gets more mentions than David's arrest record. What I would like to know is - do we have a copy of the participant's contract? How is Ashley in breach? Is there a "no frigid bitch" clause? Or is it just people's opinion that she didn't do the show in good faith and didn't put forward enough of an effort for the cameras? I will be sorely disappointed if the only couple that makes it is Sam and Neal.
