Hear! Hear! I support this 100% - the outfits some of these ladies wear on Unfiltered are ridiculous! Michaela looked like she was wearing straight up lingerie with a pair of pants over it! On the other hand, it does help distract from Jamie O's disastrous get-ups...... I don't think you would think she looks any better without them - the extensions destroy your natural lashes, and if she has been doing this for a long time, she probably would not have any real lashes left. She would basically look like she has zero lashes.

Both of these are true! My experience is that most men do not really know a lot about makeup. They say they want a "natural look", but that doesn't necessarily mean make-up free. I give Brett a lot of credit because she definitely took it all off. Most of these women lay down and they still have a full face on, which I find ridiculous. I know not everyone removes their makeup nightly, but I do and I do think most grown women do.

This made me laugh. At least he was honest. Hard to ignore the elephant giant uncovered breasts in the room....... I also appreciated that she took off all of her makeup and was like, well, I hope he still likes me because this is what I normally look like, and then she said the same to him and he said "I actually like this more, it's more natural"........He's slowly growing on me. He has a low key funny side. I think he's got a subdued personality and he can't help that his face always looks like Eeyore ;-p

Totally! She might want to check in with "Clara Oubre" to see how that worked out for her......

I see Olivia/Brett levels of disagreement over this. I am sure that is what the producers were hoping for when they put them together.

I would say that this was completely intentional on the "experts"/producers part. They are looking for drama and not successful marriages.

You are 100% correct. It's sad really because some of these people could be successful with someone if they actually tried to find a legitimate match for them.

Wow, that sucks. I’m really on the fence about even watching now. Last season was such a long slog that with zero break between seasons MAFS fatigue has set in. Plus, if this is true, they are really regressing to seasons two - four levels of bad. I mean, that would mean they have one success and nine failures in the last two seasons. Time to change the name to Divorced in Two Months.

Totally! Mr. ILP and I were discussing it, and we both think if he's dated that many women and it didn't work out, maybe he's the problem and not the "thousand" women he's dated. Doesn't bode well for Brett.......

Boy you got that right! Set up to fail is the absolute perfect way to describe this. I truly think they have some formula that works out something like two matches for success, two horrible matches for drama and one that could go either way. They were intentionally set up to fail and it's so bad because it's ridiculously obvious. I won't be wasting my time on them. I feel sorry for Gil because he seems like a good guy and is obviously handsome. They could have found him someone who would appreciate that, but instead they do this. Shame on them and fuck those "experts" who have sold their soul to Lifetime TV and are lying on camera about how perfect these two are together. Myrla would have made a perfect candidate for Unmatchables Houston is more like it.

Finally took a break from the Olympics to watch this, but now I'm not sure why. Some of my thoughts about what I saw: Myrla is awful. The producers knew this. That is why she was cast. I 100% believe she was picked for drama and drama only. Poor Gil just didn't know he drew the short stick for being in the fake marriage this season. Sucks for him. I will be FF through their scenes because they will never ever make it. I agree all of these dresses are boobtastic! If they like their boobs hanging out, more power to them, I guess. Bao's dress is beautiful though, maybe the prettiest dress ever on this show, which is a good thing since I think they are the only ones who will last. All the boob girls will only be married for 8 weeks, so who cares what they look like? I think Brett sounds like Emma Stone. That hair is something though. There is red hair and then there is RED HAIR, and she has the latter. I wonder what she would look like with a more natural color? She seems sweet, but her groom is trouble. Why did he sign up for this instead of just finding a surrogate to help him get a kid? I am pleasantly surprised by Zack and Michaela (spelling?). They are cute so far. I admit I teared up when her sisters gave her the "something blue". I have a smidge more hope for them than I had last week. I was getting Keith and Queen Kristine vibes from them. Maybe. Hopefully. We'll see.......

Holy Hell. I know it's super mean, but you are 100% correct. Isn't there anybody on the set of that show to help dress her? If there isn't, there needs to be. You gotta know this show is making Lifetime serious bank judging by the fact that it is on 24/7. They can afford to dress her better! At the very least, why couldn't a producer say "Hey Jamie, uncross your legs and sit Kate Middleton Princess style - it doesn't look great from this angle". The whole look was tragic. How hard is it to pick clothes (and shoes) that fit and cover the bits???

I totally agree. Very pretty as well as beautiful hair and makeup. My number one dress from this show is still Brianna from last season though.

This! Johnny nailed it. I think Ryan looks like a late 40's single dad who is tired from trying to hold it all together and is doing this as a last ditch way to find someone to help him, Overboard-style.......Or he's just realized he actually has to film this shit show and cameras will be following him around for months. He might be feeling that even getting a wife out of it is not worth the hassle. Maybe I'm just bitter from last season, but I think this one is going to be just as bad. I don't see any of these people making it. Maybe Bao and Johnny, but they are both so uptight and rigid. I hope she is embarrassed when she sees her melt down over the sports jerseys. "I wanted a beautiful mind. Nobel prize." Girl, please. You let a basic cable tv show find you a husband. Nobel prize.......smh.........her poem was pretty though. Myrla is a pill. I kind of loathe her already. How on earth did they match this woman with Gil? He seems like a prize and they wasted him on a high end Miss Priss. And maybe she should spend some of her grooming funds on fixing whatever is wrong with her hair. It looks straggly and greasy. I never thought I would say this, but this show is losing me. Zero excitement for this season, and I did other things while this played in the background.

I just binged both seasons this last week, and I have to say, although in the minority, I was bummed that Trevor won too. Not because she was undeserving, but because it was by default with strategic players rating him high because they didn't think Trevor was a threat. I don't think for one minute that Trevor was the most popular player. Chloe should have won. Lee/River said he was being strategic when he blocked Mitchell, but really, the strategic move should have been blocking Trevor or Chloe. I think when it comes down to it, neither of these US seasons has seen someone make a totally cutthroat move, and they always save the OG players over a newer one. I think moving forward, the show needs to address this somehow. Another unpopular opinion, but I liked Courtney. I think he was playing a game from start to finish. And he's been the most strategic. I think what he did with the Joker was pretty smart.

I agree Jose and Rachel are equally attractive, but I think he thinks he deserves someone super hot. She is pretty, but I don't think he will find her so judging by his laundry list of requirements. And don't forget the old chestnut "Compromise"! But agreed, they add absolutely zero. I don't mind a little catch up with the divorced people from prior seasons (I liked hearing from Derek and Mindy), but maybe make that another show altogether. And those two women from the season that won't die do not need to be there. There is no need to catch up with them since they have been on my tv for seven months straight now........

I love this idea and would 100% watch this! I love Neil!

@Spectator and @Retired at last please come sit next to me where we can share our loathing of Hayley en masse! I probably wouldn't care that much about her, but this show will not let it die, and there she is yet again smugly smiling and dragging Jake for the hundredth time. At this point I am more annoyed by her than Chris because he is nowhere to be seen.

I admit I like the predictions, but I cannot stand the insertion of the prior couples and participants. That is what made this stupid show 3 fucking hours long. My God, why do they need to be there? Other than the divorcees, the others are already on couples cam! And I do not need to see Hayley and Paige ever again. Again alluding to Jacob being bad in the sack. How many times does this woman need to go on national tv and coyly hint at this? And fuck Kevin for continuing to ask about it. I am sure he would love if some woman kept going on tv multiple times and insinuating he was a terrible lover. Sorry for the potty mouth but after enduring this for three hours I'm salty. ;-0 Ok, rant over (sort of). I think this season is going to be just as big of a disaster as Atlanta. My predictions: Zach & Michaela - Divorce. She is going to find him boring. Not Henry and Christina levels, but they are a mismatch to me. Johnny & Bao - Stay married. I think the "I know her!" and "Oh my God, it's Johnny" face is a misdirect. Ryan & Brett - Divorce. Another shit Ryan. MAFS, if anyone in the future named Ryan applies, put that application straight in the circular file. Jose & Rachel - Divorce. I don't think he is going to find her attractive. Gil & Myrla - Divorce. Total mismatch for drama. Anybody else think otherwise????

You just summed up this season for me. If I wanted to watch Ninja Jr. I would have watched Ninja Jr! It pissed me off on American Idol when they lowered the age, and it pisses me off here too. It just feels like they are tired of the same people and want new blood, but I come here to watch the ones I care about and get sick of seeing them getting the WWWA treatment so I can watch some kid. I miss the kinetic energy of the live audience. Between the kids and the indoor weirdness of the empty set/family on screens, my love of this show has waned. It sits in my dvr until there's nothing left whereas before I watched it same night it was on. Maybe moving on to the finals will improve my feelings......

Boy isn't this the truth! Definitely more entertaining than the show this season for sure. Now Jake has posted a video addressing all of her inflammatory comments on his live stream. He basically says he has every right to say what he wants, especially after Hayley dragged him on national tv and he didn't say anything. Also, funny enough, he admits that this season is the worst one! Ha! He also says his whole MAFS experience sucked, he can't stand Hayley and knows she can't stand him, and he just wants to leave it at that. The crazy thing is Virginia is STILL commenting and threatening to reveal "something", although it's not clear what and she also reiterates that she is just defending her friend. Oh brother. What a load of nonsense. In other Season 12 Insta news, Clara posted a cryptic story about how Taylor Swift's Red album was her now. No idea what that means, and I have zero interest in looking at the set list for Red to figure out what she's alluding to. And this after just YESTERDAY saying she was taking a break from social media. Guess not. These people are so messy!

The same way they acted when ZERO couples stayed together after seasons two, three and four. Ignore, ignore, ignore.......

Oof, Virginia going after Jacob on Instagram when he answered somebody's question about Hayley on his live stream. MAFSfan had screen shots of all of her comments, and wow. Very immature and kind of high school-ish, which is not surprising to me at all. She refers to Hayley as "her best friend". What? This girl you just met less than a year ago? Okay. These two deserve each other.

I'm not willing to speculate on whether Ryan is gay or not, but these two were always worlds apart on religion and raising kids. It makes me sad because I like both of them, but I'm not completely surprised either. Statistically, this season was looking better than it actually was based on the successes, but now it actually looks like the dumpster fire it really was. Stay out of Atlanta moving forward MAFS!

I wish I could like this one thousand times! I am still traumatized by Jamie's home water birth!
