Unfiltered WTH with the terrible camera work on Jamie? She was out of focus most of the time and the bookshelves behind her were in HD. Who knows? Maybe she reads this board, knows everyone can't stand her, and did that on purpose...? I don't hate you, Jamie. You keep collecting your coin and popping out children as long as you can! Very awkward for Jacob. It seemed obvious that Paige and Brianna are totally Team Haley. I liked how he didn't pull any punches about his thoughts on Chris. Briana and Vincent Briana seemed to understand where Vincent was coming from, but he needs to ar·tic·u·late in the moment instead of holding things in. It's unfair to expect Briana to be a mind reader. His friend gave amazing advice. Like many others have said, the friends are doing far better than the (absentee) experts this season. I thought the family get-together was nice. They kind of remind me of AJ and Steph. AJ was always tense and snapping at production, but Steph was AMAZING and patient. I never thought they would make it, but now they are one of my favorite couples to watch on Couples Cam. If Elizabeth and Jamie can survive and turn things around, I still have hope for Briana and Vincent. Clara and Ryan Meh. I don't really have much to say on them. They don't seem to have any chemistry. They seem...cold...? They may be having fun, but it must be off-camera. Thanks, Show. Haley and Jacob All I hear is a lonely bugler playing "Taps" in my head every time they are onscreen. Virginia and Erik You know, at first I wasn't ready to jump on the "Virginia has a serious problem with alcohol" train, but I am firmly buckled in after this episode. At her age, she should be past the college campus constantly drunk stage, but she isn't. I wonder if she smells like alcohol when she wakes up every morning. I will say the dogs cracked me up. When Erik said his dog was like him and her dog was like her, I could completely see it. lol Her dog is cute but HYPER! I wonder if Erik was cheated on and that's why he is so paranoid. Anyway, I want to like them, but I hope that she can mature and he can let go. His friend gave really good advice as well. +1 for friends this episode. Paige, Mercedes, and PunkA$$Child Definitely agree with others that Mercedes and PunkA$$Child seem to be lying. I can only HOPE Paige is in on this farce because otherwise...I just don't know. His behavior with his (YES FIIIIIINE) friends was awful and disrespectful. He has the maturity of a two year old. I did appreciate his one friend telling him that Paige was a DIAMOND. I just wish Paige thought of herself that way. WhereTH are the experts? Was there no intervention? Did they have nothing to say (aside from the lame Pastor Cal discussion last week)? Where are Dr. Pepper and Viviana?? Why are we not getting their thoughts on the situation? I have BEEN done with this couple. At the end of the episode, I was like, "Yes. This HAS to be the last we see of this burning dumpster of a match," but then? The previews. *sigh* ETA: Because I forgot all about Virginia and Erik.

From the VERY brief clip I just saw from the upcoming Paige/Ex meeting, no wonder Chris was confused! Their voices are so similar that, with his eyes closed (or the lights off), he probably couldn't tell them apart.

I definitely think this is footage filmed earlier, because the time frame seems slightly different for each couple, but it looks like late summer/fall maybe...? Anyway, I can't believe that my favorite couple to watch is Beth/Jamie with their fake fakery 🤯 . I like the rest of the couples also, especially Amani/Woody, Steph/AJ, and Ashley/Anthony. This show is such a palette cleanser for me during this flaming dumpster of a MAFS season.

I hope that Vincent apologizes to Briana for his over-reaction next week. He may have had an experience where he was belittled all the time, but he has to understand that Briana not coming from a bad place when she says things. And she has to understand that sometimes her comments may not come across as intended. Oy. My only solace this season and they are pissing me off. lol

THIS is the couple (besides Chris/Paige) that splits up the first night??? WTH? LOL

Briana doesn't get that it when she said, "That's so Vincent of you" and that has literally never happened before, it might hurt. But he also is not good at expressing himself. This could be such a nothing-burger of an issue.

This is the first time I've actually believed Clara and Ryan like each other.

Poor Haley and Jake. There's just no there there.

Sorry, I usually wait until the episode is over, but OMG. Really, Paige? YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!

True. Jephte wasn't great, but during the show, he was nowhere near Chris's level of petty, toxic, and abusive. IMO, the only couples even semi-close to the Chris/Paige situation are Ryan/Jessica, Luke/Kate, and maybe Matt/Amber. Ugh...now that I think back, there were SOOOO many terrible couples (e.g, Vaughan/Monet, Neil/Sam, Sean/Davina, Nate/Sheila). And now we know Chris/Mercedes are living it up in Cancun for her birthday. WTF-kery? What does any woman see in this $^itty a$shole?? My fondest hope is that Paige has been in on this terrible joke the entire time. Otherwise, she needs some mental health help along with her (hopefully) ex-husband. I can't believe I've been watching this show since the first season hoping against hope that all of the couples make it through. This is literally the definition of insanity.

I am pretty sure Jamie worked for Google. Now he is a Senior Technical Consultant at Box. He makes pretty good money himself.

I get why Vincent (and Briana) may have sided with Chris (and Paige). They weren't there for the confrontations, so all they heard was Chris's *heartfelt* 😒 mea culpa. I am of the belief that production wouldn't let Virginia and Erik arrive until after the apology. The timing was too good. I smell shenanigans. Anyway, this episode left me not caring about any of them. Great job, Show.

I would really like to hear from her about this (outside of the confines of MAFS - including Unfiltered). Why, Paige...WHY????

So (if the rumors are true), this "new" fiancee is yet ANOTHER woman he'd adding to his harem?? What do these women see in this guy? I don't think it's his bank account because I am pretty sure (ETA: if there is any karmic justice) his true net worth is below zero. Also ETA: I obviously don't have access to his finances, so I don't *know.* Just positive wishful thinking on my part.

That's a great sign. They're both still married. 🙂 Signed, Glass Half Full
