Time for San Diego singletons to crawl out from under their rocks where they've been hiding and out from under the bottoms of barrels!

Hoping for San Diegans dating losers who aren't looking to find spouses to Check all their boxes, aren't Stage 5 Clingers, aren't looking for someone as a rebound, and can mustard up the energy after working out to rinse off your Downtown districts.

Good luck...Snark you later!

[Crashcourse]

So these MAFS people really do just want tv exposure, because no way would anyone in their right mind agree to those terms and conditions to find a mate.

Interesting questionnaire - nothing at all in there about income, employment, debt, attitudes toward finances...

Or arrests, convictions, criminal background. They should run background checks but still...

I'm assuming that this is a first step to get you to the next round and they'll be more later.  

The fine print at the bottom mentions this:

Quote

I understand that if I am selected as a participant, I shall be required to sign one or more additional agreements, which may contain the terms set forth herein with respect to my participation in the Program, as well as additional and/or different terms. I also understand that I may be required to submit to all required background checks, psychological examinations, and similar screenings, and that I shall be required to comply with all applicable rules and requirements relating to the Program, before I am allowed to participate in the Program.

All that and they still can't seem to filter out the whack jobs.....🙄

I think that the entire pool consists of whack jobs, after reading the fine print. So, they have to find the least whack?

I am SO excited! I live in San Diego and I cannot WAIT for this shitshow. Single people are crazy here (per my friends that are single and dating rn)!

Sadly, just like the entire Bachelor franchise, this show is past its sell-by date.

Most reality programming is dead from its original format.

Someone who works in the building where this season's cast was staying said that the only couple who actually lived in the apartments full-time was Gil and Myrla. The rest just showed up for filming. Can't say I'm shocked by this revelation.

I guess Rachel did not know that she was knocking on those doors and nobody was home.

Were the others living together somewhere else or in their respective homes as in separately?

I don't know for sure, I'm guessing they stayed in their own individual (separate) places and just showed up when they had to film.

[Crashcourse]

I'm not surprised that they're staying in separate places.  Yes, they're married but they haven't had enough time to get to know each other well enough to be comfortable with each other's bathroom habits, kitchen habits, etc.  It takes weeks, not days, and that's even if they know they want to stay married.

I AGREE!  They try to portray the "thousands and thousands" of drooling would-be participants lining up to hear the "we found you a match" message and start the frenzied process of going on the show.

However, IMO, that's all window dressing.  I think, after all these seasons, the # of sane, "normal", available and/or interested people ready, willing and able to be filmed for this show is "tiny."

I note that they cast the net (pun intended) for the next group of participants in San Diego BEFORE this dismal season aired.  Clever strategy because the volatility and incompatibility of this season's couples is quite stunning!

Last I heard thru MAFSFan on Instagram, the only unknown endings are Gil and Myrla.  They originally posted that they aren’t together, but recanted that with an “unknown”.  So I have my hopes up!

A few people have reported sightings of Jose and Rachel together - at the airport in Cancun and at an Astros game. One person approached them and talked to them, and they confirmed they are together. No pictures though. Excuse me while my head explodes.

ETA: There have been multiple sightings (with photos) of Zack and Bao out together (!) And she wished him a happy birthday on her Instagram stories. So there might be a happy couple this season after all. /snark

And yet one wonders why they didn't wake up when Rachel was knocking on their door late at night.  The dog was barking.  That would wake me up!  Or maybe they did and the show didn't show that.  It was never disclosed where Rachel spent the night.

I haven’t watched every season of this show. Has the USA version of MAFS had a couple switch like what may have happened here? Before or after decision day?  Because I could see it happening in these later seasons where the couples do so many activities as a group.  
I caught parts of episodes  of some Australian season and there was drama about a hook up between one man and women on the show married to others.

I think that after Zack rejected Mindy in his season, that he tried to hit on Katie.

It was funny because Katie was one of the least attractive participants to me (both in looks and personality) and people talked about Zack having high standards and that is why he did not like Mindy. 

I think Katie rejected him. Besides this, I don't know of any other former brides and grooms hooking up.

 I would really like to know how much of the Rachel/Jose drama was production shenanigans. Her staying with him, if all of that rage and coldness was really him, makes me very disappointed with her. She claimed that she was raised to have more self-esteem, and she clearly knows better. I am feeling towards her the same way I felt about Paige (and way back to Kate staying with Luke). After that scene, there is NO way he can redeem himself (plus his lying about it to the  guys), so he is not worth my time or thought. But, I had thought better of her. Wondering if they will be on Couples Camera, or if they learned their lesson afterf Erik and VirGINia. I think the couples should have to stay together for at least a year before they are selected for the couples show.

Yes, I can not root for them after the way he acted:

1. Flew off the handle because of ego and insecurity
2. Abused her by locking her out
3. Gaslighted her very reasonable concerns
4. Blamed it all on her when retelling the story

These are all terrible signs and she should stay away from him unless this was all just bullshit manufactured by the show.

I felt like Rachel was acting when she said, "I cannot be your wife".  It seemed disjointed from what she said before it and she said it very slowly and deliberately like she was reading from a script.  I think the producers may actually lie to one of them or misrepresent the truth to get them mad at the other person, then after they blow up admit to both that it was all a ruse just so they could get some drama on camera.  Either that or they're all in on it.  I said something similar in the episode thread too.

It was a very stupid thing for them to do because they just ruined the best couple on the show...which is not a high bar.

I know. I feel like saying, Rachel. GURL. You is kind. You is pretty. You is smart. You can do way better than that asshole and his whiteboard. Frankly, being alone is better than being with Jose. Maybe we'll find out it was all manufactured drama, but ugh, I could not be with someone that controlling and trigger-tempered.

....in which case he should change careers to acting because his mannerisms, tone, facial expressions and "vocabulary" were worthy of an Academy Award. 

I see it as production possibly overseeing the fiasco; however, jose was the most authentic "lunatic" I've seen on the show this season (maybe tied with Michaela). 

To me, you can't "fake" getting into character for such a dreadful scene unless it's heartfelt and something that seethes within you waiting until the proper moment/situation to emerge in all its fury.

Yet another sighting of Zack and Bao out together at a restaurant. The reunion show should be very interesting 😁

I think Zach perked up when he was on Unfiltered and Johnny said Bao likes to have sex several times a day!

I am glad if this is a true relationship (or it could be a friendship like Henry and Olivia from a prior season). If they both found someone where walking on egg shells was not required, then great for them!

All this is just an announcement that she is starting a YouTube channel which a ton of people do every day. I imagine she is really angling for a reality show.

I guess it's marketing but there is really nothing about her life that would make me want to watch her.

She will hold on to Doug because he is the key to her MAFS paycheck.

I actually have nothing against her but she is the queen of oversharing.

OMG - I really can't stand this attention seeking loser. So, there are constant articles about the state of their failing marriage and now they are going to cram themselves and their children into an RV???? I don't care what size it is, it is close quarters and doing this for long-term therapeutic benefits is a lost cause. Looks like they may have to get real jobs. This is too much.

I don't think that full-time RV life is as "simplifying" as people think that it is; especially if they are going to be moving around. I had friends - smart, well-organized people - who lived the full-time RV life for 6 or 7 years. One of their goals was simplifying life. What they learned was that it doesn't simplify life; there are just different chores that have to be done. You have less stuff but you have to plan better to do more with less. I don't see this working out well for these two...

I've been living the full-time RV life for 18 years now.  And on behalf of myself and my fellow travelers, I'll just respond to Ms. Otis's doing this to simplify her life and repair her marriage with "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh, I can't breathe, seriously, I can't breathe, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Here's a crazy idea:  if you want to declutter and simplify your life, get rid of your stuff.  You don't have to move into a can on wheels.  Although the RV might help her desire to limit distractions, by being laser focused on "Where the fuck are we going to park this thing tonight?"  Because you're not unique, Jamie.  Everybody and his dog discovered RVs in the last couple of years, but nobody discovered building more places for them to be.

The only good thing I can see coming out of this is maybe some actual reality--she's eager to tell everyone how miserable her marriage is, and I hope she can do the same with the RV life, as an antidote to all the people who are making money by pimping the lifestyle on youtube.

Oh, shit. I misspelled her name as Jaime, which is a HUGE pet peeve when girls named "jay-mee" spell it like that because Jaime is pronounced "high-meh."

Jeez, the way they were building it up and selling it I thought they might have been selected to be the first human family to colonize Mars! Nope. Not quite. They bought an RV. Ok.
