Emily kind of proved Brennan right. He refused to say what he thought would hurt her & no answer meant no. She said he couldn't hurt her feelings by being honest, then went & cried to the camera about him not being attracted to her. 🤷‍♀️ Hold it together girl! 🤦‍♂️

This experiment isn't for superficial quitters. It shouldn't be. Surely the show tried to exclude those types. Surely. 🤣 Orion sure talked a good game, but meant none of it. Seems like Brennan did the same. I just don't understand how being MAFS is supposed to stop them from doing what they normally do, run away. A piece of paper is supposed to stop that, huh? Yeah right. Again. These types should be excluded. People who actually see things through and can look past looks are who should be in this experiment.

Lauren said she was a fan of the show & still contributed to the demise of her marriage by freaking out. Blessing in disguise. It would've only gotten worse with him. More inconsistency, more contradictions, more confusion. He felt bad & blamed her for it & couldn't take it, so he burned it down. 🤷‍♀️ He "couldn't" move past her comment & "lost" all romantic attraction. Yeah. Sure. Whatever. BS excuses. I wonder if she'd seen Michaela's behavior. If so, did she think that was an inappropriate way to act? 🤔

Brennan & Orion look like self-centered weirdos! Their actions show they only care about what they want, they're only thinking about what they want, & that's incompatible with a successful marriage so they're trying to make their wives quit for them. Seems being married means nothing to them, they will behave like they normally do in previously failed relationships. They should've been asked how they'd feel if their wives acted like them. How their actions are helping build a successful marriage? WHAT DID THEY THINK WOULD HAPPEN??? They know what they signed up for!!!! I'd support the wives requesting divorces. They shouldn't have to deal with that BS. They should've taken that break to reflect & ask themselves if they're really okay with that behavior. Make some requirements and hold them to them. Lauren, especially, should've known more mental distress was in her future with Orion. I'm so glad to be done with Orion's lies, he's so weak! Lauren's divorce antics were inappropriate too. She should've meant it & said it calmly. Emily seems to be waiting around for scraps. Get a backbone!!! Assert yourself! It's like they want marriage, no matter how bad it is. Sticking it out, when the spouse intentionally makes it horrible, is not an accomplishment. It makes them look crazy. They're setting a bad precedent, allowing these men to act unacceptably, they'll just continue to. Just because they're married doesn't mean they shouldn't have boundaries & requirements of respectful behavior.

Idk about the charges for that woman's overdose. How do they know she was dead when he dumped her? I think he should be charged with failing to render aid. I guess that's a lesser charge. They should've brought in a dog to track the driver's scent. What about DNA in the car? Her keys & phone? What's the location data of her phone show? Where are the clothes in the surveillance footage? Any other footage? Too bad she didn't leave drugs alone. When someone gets sober, the same amount they did before could be lethal. Her sister looked just like this woman abducted from a bar on I Survived.

Too bad Lauren didn't say she wanted a divorce first. He's a flip-flopping liar, who wanted her to pull the plug. For the sake of her mental health, she should've said she's done. She must've had a bad freak-out, like Michaela? That's pretty unreasonable, but Orion kept double-talking. He's the root of the issue. It's good he ended it & spared her more mental distress. She should've thanked him for freeing her from that. Go Dr. Pia for calling out his BS. She should've said it's incompatible with a successful marriage. If they would've continued, it would've been more of the same BS. He sabotaged it to make her quit. She told the other couples they were having irreconcilable differences & he disagreed. WHY??? I would've said, "you said you couldn't get past it, so..." WHY did she give him control like that??? Like. Check with yourself, girl!!! Do you enjoy his inconsistencies and contradictions? Is that okay with you? Do you think you can build a successful marriage with that behavior??? I wonder if he's gunna hang out on the rooftop with the other couples like Miss Good Person did in Boston.

Another withdrawing weirdo?!!! I just don't get it. I don't buy that the adrenaline's worn off. He must've observed something that turned him off. How can someone fake their way through 7 days?!!! So bizarre!!! I don't know what it's like to be MAFS, but they know it's marriage based on questionaires they filled out, supposedly. It's a marriage, nonetheless. You don't get "breaks" besides work, like normal married couples. Maybe that's a bad thing, there's not enough space, but this what they signed up for. It's like he's trying to backtrack & start from the beginning or something, like how people normally do things, & that's okay if that's what THEY decide to do AS A COUPLE. What was he imagining??? Emily's got so much to say to the cameras and preached about open communication only to sit there in silence. Mkay. ASK HIM, WHY IS YOUR ENERGY OFF? WHAT "DRAINED" YOU? WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO MOVE IN? WHY DO YOU WANT TO MOVE IN? WHAT ARE YOU "HERE" FOR? HOW IS BEING STAND-OFFISH COMPATIBLE WITH A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE??? I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE & MISLED/CONFUSED BY THIS SWITCH UP. IF YOU REFUSE TO TELL ME WHY, I WANT A DIVORCE. 🤷‍♀️

I can't with Cam showing Clare the dead spiders in the glue trap! 😬 I mean, WHY?!!! 🤨

Tulsa often FAILS to impress!!! I'm not impressed by them contaminating the scene with all that driving and walking through it. WHERE WERE THE FOOTPRINTS?!!!! Couldn't they ping his phone & find out where he was? Couldn't they contact the people who had protection orders out against him to find out his address? Why are they waiting for his mom to give an ex's phone # & her to give them his address. It's like they want everyone to just tell them all the information, I swear! 🙄😒 WTF happened to that girl?!!! Maybe she steered the car in the pond to escape. WHERE'S THE WEAPON?!!! WHY did go back to get her? How did putting on a jacket take 20 mins? How did they get her to the truck? WHY wasn't he locked up?!!! WHERE was the intervention by the state to stop him from eventually killing?!!! I vote we experiment on these freaks!!! Implant them with a kill switch to eliminate them if they harm another person. I hope he saves Tulsa money & takes himself out. Otherwise, they might let him out to kill again someday. 😬

Nev is a TERRIBLE investigator with ZERO observation skills!!! Maybe he should take a course, but he'd probably forget it. Kamie would've gotten it!!! Nobody caught the daughter's reaction to the guy saying she sounded like the person he was talking to??? Ask her about a specific game they played? Show the messages & pics! Obviously she didn't want him in her house so he wouldn't hear her mother's voice! Nev didn't catch the mom saying "weird" like in the texts! How about simply CALLING/TEXTING the number the guy's been communicating with while in her face?!!! DUHHHH!!! Ask what card paid for the hotel? Ask Kellie for proof of the mom's offer. This is basic stuff!!!!!

Welp. Orion & Lauren have crashed & burned & are in last place & might be out altogether. Like Mac & Niq?!! 😬 Everyone says what sounds right at the group dinner, but actually doing what they say??? Doubtful. & if they don't do what they say, they're gunna fail. Can't succeed with lying & being untrustworthy. Austin & Becca seem less perfect, but I guess they're still 1st. Brennan & Emily too. I guess Cam & Clare moved up a spot.

I can't believe Austin actually said he knew Becca's past bfs were avoidant & he wanted to make sure he wasn't being that way after just avoiding the religion talk THAT MORNING!!!! 🤨 THE AUDACITY!!! Like. Bruh!!! Rub it in why don't ya?!!!

Interesting how the husband in the least connected couple is the only one who made a traditional gesture with the flowers. I don't recall any other husband ever presenting their wife with flowers at a honeymoon group dinner. I think it should've been on a solo dinner, but Cam wanted to show up the other husbands. I was more concerned with their lack of communication while apart. Did he not update her on what was going on & where he was??? So strange!

I hope Lauren requests a divorce since Orion can't be trusted and will just keep looking for reasons to quit. I don't support her freaking out with the ring & divorce antics. They both shouldn't be married. She had a great attitude before the last day of the honeymoon: that they could get through anything & to keep trying. I guess him changing his stance on her comment, coupled with the issue from earlier, set her off. 🤷‍♀️ Too bad she brought up these topics & he couldn't handle them. Time probably wouldn't have made it any better, he just looks for issues. Funny, he considered himself committed to this process, but she's the one who actually is.

The rest of that sex conversation was irritating. Again. ASK WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW!!!! DON'T SAY WHAT YOU DIDN'T SAY!!! 🙄😒 She asked how he felt about her having sex 2 months prior & he said it took sex off the table for him so for him to say it's not just that was BS & that's why she made him own it!!! It went wrong when he backtracked & said it wasn't just that, but wouldn't say what else it was so I guess I understand why she wouldn't bother asking. How could they progress the conversation when he's being cagey? All she had to do was ask why after he said her having sex 2 months prior took it off the table for him. He probably wouldn't have given a reasonable answer. Imagine if he was matched with that guy that had sex the night before he was told he was matched! IMMEDIATE DIVORCE! 🤣🤣 Anyway, Orion's problem is he's holding her to his standard, even though he hadn't had sex for over a year, so who knows if he even had the opportunity during the application process and he isn't bothering to ask her the situation, he just has a problem with it and decided to fall back on her earlier comment to quit. We all know it. How long did he expect his future wife to abstain? Why does he have a problem with it? I think instead of asking about relations, Lauren should've asked about his dating/relationship history to find out if he goes negative. Then she would've known what would've eventually happened. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe they discussed that & it wasn't on camera, but I doubt it.

Cam said the right things about them giving each other the benefit of the doubt & assuming the best. Absolutely right thing to do. Also easier to say than do for some people. But not ask if something's wrong, it doesn't have to be negative, ask for clarity on anything they're wondering.

What was Emily thinking with that question??? How'd she think he take it? What was the issue? He wasn't competitive? I'd take a friendly game with a mate over a game where he's trying to wipe the floor with me, it's not fun. I guess Emily likes that. 🤷‍♀️ It was a dumb question, but he overreacted to the implication instead of keeping cool & clarifying . They should ask what they really want to know. It's quite simple. E: Why aren't you trying to win? B: What do you mean by that question?

Orion is the punk marriage isn't for! PC should tell him to quit being a punk!!! & Lauren saying there isn't a book on marriage? WHAT?!!! Of course there are!!! Lots!!! PC even wrote a book!!! She needs to read and learn words!!! Can't wait to be done with her incorrect word usage!!! "Quietness" was the last straw for me.

Now Austin has nothing to talk about??? 😅 He asked what Becca wanted to talk about them said they're not gunna talk about it right then. Um. Then he didn't mean his question. Interesting she took it as rejection. I think that's a little unfair because she didn't say she really wanted to talk about it then. It was something they could discuss later & they did, a little. It was moreso a delay than rejection.

I'm officially done with Orion. He's a dirty, dirty LIAR!!!!! How dare he reassure her that she didn't mess things up with him because of that joke and then decide later he's offended. Plus he lied about saying sex was out because she had sex 2 months prior. I understand why she told him to cut the BS with that. & Then to say he felt unsafe because of her tone when he made it unsafe for her to share information??? GTFOH!!!! Like he's looking to be the victim. They both need to grow tf up! She's disappointed by his inconsistency, yet said she'd keep her tone in check only to yell & take off the ring & request a divorce? Um. WHAT?!! Just a vicious cycle of screw ups & apologies, not good. But him taking her joke with a word HE BROUGHT UP & comparing it to an intentionally hurtful comment someone else said is ABSURD! I'm done with him! I'm done with both of them! Looks like he wants to make that his excuse to quit & he can & look like an idiot for it!! I'm sure her having sex 2 months prior has NOTHING to do with him revisiting that. 😉 WHATEVER!!! GOOD RIDDANCE!!! She offended his community & family & failed him & the marriage?!! GTFOH!!!! Should've known his "failure" comment would go from himself to her. & This was AFTER consulting an "expert"!!!! & then they got another "expert" & still couldn't figure it out?!! WTF did he call PC for if it wasn't to fix things?!!! He called to say how hurt & offended he's now deciding to be because of that joke?!!! Boy, BYE!!!

Looked like Cam was gunna be the smart one since he was the only one who wore his seatbelt on the ride to the boat, but he didn't wear it on the 2nd ride. 👎🙄😒 Um. I guess it's good Clare asked why he moved so she knows, but it's strange she had a problem with him moving. Like she's too concerned with appearances and wants to look close like the other couples even though they're not.

Emily's doing really good! Injured hand, rat's nest on her head, & not an attitude in sight! Good on her! She really held it together & her husband even praised her for it.

Wowww. An actual card game of questions!!! A first! Kinda weird, but eh. Idk if it's better than the usual. Why did Cam misword the question? That distracted by Clare? What was his answer with no context??? 🙄 WHY doesn't Clare know he finds her attractive??? He called her stunning & gorgeous at the altar!!! & there he goes telling the guys he finds her attractive, maybe one of the husbands will tell his wife & it'll get back to Clare. That's how they do things. 😒 Why is she trying to look like a couple and not actually BE a couple with something behind the PDA? At least they seemed to take a step forward this week. 🤷‍♀️ O&L went back, then forward, & back again due to Orion's bad reaction again. 🤦‍♂️

Austin telling Becca he downplayed their relationship to not discourage the others kinda reminded me of Justin crying to Alexis about Binh's marriage falling apart. Why are they putting that much thought & care into what others MIGHT do when the husbands probably aren't doing the same??? Just bizarre. Why think they'll be discouraged??? Anyone can see it's not normal & unrealistic. I mean, yeah they can feel behind, but that doesn't mean they'll just give up. Funny, none of us have said they'll probably crash & burn like Justin & Alexis, probably because they're keeping it pretty surface & fun. Maybe Becca will hit her limit of that.

OMG THAT SEX CONVO WAS TOO MUCH!!!!! I was screaming to stop from hearing it!!! 🙉 WTF is Orion's problem with 2 months ago??? He knows they were told they were matched 2 WEEKS prior!!! & saying he knows his worth & isn't just giving himself to anybody... Ummm. Implying she's wrong??? She was smart to ask what he thought about it versus finding out the hard way later he decided not to. That definitely warranted a deeper discussion, I can't believe she just took that & from the preview, it looks like she doesn't take it well. I can't believe that's what was from the season preview. They made it look like she cheated on him. Is that how he's taking it? So much for grace & patience. How does he think he can just decide that in reaction to her sharing that information as "punishment"??? He knows that creates an unsafe space for sharing, right?!! 🤨🙄😒 He really messed up. She should be able to tell him anything about her past and it not be held against her if he wants to have a successful marriage with her.
