MAFS Social Media, Spoilers & Speculation

[Retired at last]

Most of the "tea" from that video was from Emily's IG entries and over who really had the texts that Becca was challenging Cam about. If the texts were between Cam and Clarapist, then what was Emily doing with them? Anyway, the only other thing I heard was what we had already figured out - that Becca and Austin went in to D Day to say NO, but then production intervened and either gave them more money to say yes, or something, but their D Day show was re-shot with the yes answer. Like I said, I think we all knew that.

Oh, also Emily said in her IG posts that she was very open about the hook up with the Aussie guy and discussed it on the show a few times and never tried to hide it. Well, it seems like production wiped any mention of that out, since we never saw or heard anything about that.

In summary - there is NOTHING real about this reality show.  

[Yeah No]

Wasn't it that "Clarapist" forwarded or showed them to her?  I don't know if that was mentioned.  It was at times hard to follow this video.  Although I do think some of the "tea" was from "MAFSfan" too.

It took me a while to figure out who she was talking about when she called Clare "Clarapist".  Wouldn't it have made more sense to call her "Clare-apist"?  At least it would have rhymed with "therapist".  Well, almost!

Maybe that's what Brennan was "protecting" her from, that she's a hacker 😁

Soo... Season 18 has already filmed.

Ugh, they look like another group of train wrecks and fakers to me.  I'm again thinking about sitting next season out.  I didn't watch Nashville and I'm almost regretting watching Denver.

c'mon, you know you'll watch it as will I!  It's like an addiction we can't seem to get away from.

Maybe they've finally learned and are matching them for love.  ha.  that ship has sailed long ago.

I didn't watch Nashville and I almost didn't watch Denver so it's not THAT much of an addiction.  The only reason I watched this season is because I was curious about Denver and didn't have that much going on TV-wise and otherwise.  That will probably not be the situation next season and I'm beyond disgusted with the show at this point.

Just looking at the faces of those people above I seriously doubt the show is going back to matching them for love.  Most of them look like divas, immature babies and famewhores.

You know I felt like something changed around the latter part of the pandemic when they canceled "couples cam" and ditched Jamie O. from Afterparty.  I think the show decided it didn't give a crap about the genuine couples anymore and went strictly for drama and fake producer manipulation.

Juan and Karla are hot. That's all I've got. No one who looks like that are on this show for "the right reason" unless the right reason is now influencer clicks.

Allen is already checked out and couldn't even smile for his photo. Maybe he is waiting for the recruitment check to clear. Madison looks like she is going to be a lot to deal with and I hope she is better with her extensions than Emily was.

David must be playing this season's man with stupid hair role. Michelle is not going to be impressed.

The top two couples might be somewhat normal, although I have absolutely NO idea how to pronounce Ikechi and Emem.

That's why I watch - nothing else good is on - I do watch Survivor on Wednesdays, but this fills up my weekend watching 😄

Well if the new season starts this Summer I might be too busy to watch anyway with life things going on whether or not there's anything good on TV.  We'll see.  This was a hideous Fall and Winter weather-wise and TV wise with the writer's strike so that's why I ended up back here.

I hope Juan isn't an asshole, and when if they break up, I'd love to find him and comfort him. 😍

They actually say they're expecting the baby in early August. Love it for them that they're expanding their adorable family. :)

There's some freebee channel on Philo that ran their season starting last night, I never saw it before. From the 1st day I knew these two were going to make it. This is so nice to see!

LOL!!! 😂 

[kikicat]

Yay, new people! I want lots of ridiculousness and at least one couple who try to stay married.

Ikechi and Emem need a couples name we can all spell. Ikem? Emchi?

Allen should marry my avatar. Madison looks like a cross between the short talky lady with the tats and the big-mouthed hairdresser from S.16. Nicole and Gina!

David and Michelle. Big Bear Hair meets Duck Lips Poseur.

Thomas and Camille seem like a nice and normal match. Which means they'll be the biggest disaster in the cast.

Team Eye Candy. Hope there's a there there.

 

[Crashcourse]

I just noticed that you can clearly see Madison's extensions.  I predict Zombie Allen will not be impressed with her.

And the colors don't match.  Her hair is clearly darker than the extensions.

Sometimes some of my extensions were lighter. Blended properly, they look like highlights. But you don't want one big chunk of hair to be a totally different color from the rest of the head.

[Lindz]

Chicago??? There are some cute guys there!!! I wouldn't mind seeing them, but they probably won't be matched. Will this be the season they'll finally stop matching commitment phobes??? If I take a shot every time someone says they usually run.... 🙄 Surely all the commitment types aren't taken. 😅

Not sure where this should go, but I just ran across reruns of MAFS, the season with Tristan/Mia, Bobby/Danielle, and Amber/Dave (my first season watching) on the LRW channel - Lifetime for Real Women, I think. I don't know if they will have the whole season, but this one started with them back from the honeymoon and getting together with their friends.

[LennieBriscoe]

MAFS couples still together (definitive):

My thoughts on S18, from the top:

Ikechi & Emem = 💘

Allen & Madison = Could go any which way. They look well-matched. 🤞

Camille & Thomas = Nope. 👎

Michelle & David = Nope × 1000.  😖

Juan & Karla =  😍 🔥 😉

It almost would seem like a miracle to have at least one viable match after this season.

i don't mind her voice - at least she doesn't have a vocal fry or do that thing where every statement sounds like a question.

the only thing i really disagree with is about the experts - they all need to go, Pia is not a good fit for the show, in my opinion

Yeah, we have different hearing experiences when it comes to listening to her.

Hanging with the Hehner's Jamie and Doug are expecting twins.  I was surprised to read about that!  Doug has had some mental health problems and twins on top of the two young children they already have will be a lot since he's the stay at home dad.

Are they still trying to do vanlife content?

That is a big family to be living on the road, full time.

I think Jamie said that they bought their “forever home” in Florida in whatever episode they were on at the end of the season. I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean they are living in it, but they did buy a house.

[zoomama]

they are in a very nice house. the twins were a surprise, natural not ivf, are identical boys and they seem happy although jamie was a bit disappointed they weren't girls. doug seems to be in a good place now.

Good luck to all of them.

Love or hate them...Jaimie and Doug are the original MVPs of this series.

At this point, they have been by each other side, through thick and thin.

[NowVoyager]

Um, I know some of you find this YouTuber's voice a little annoying--- sorry! Lol. I thought this was a cute update of the San Diego cast, with a few cameos of folks from other seasons.

Stacia's home renovations were gorgeous! I cracked up at the girls' trip video: "First one to talk shizz about their ex-husband has to pay the bill." Lots of exotic trips. A couple very serious health issues. A number of them earning money on social media. Morgan & Nate don't keep up much with the group. Who knew Binh had curly hair!?

Edited June 28 by NowVoyager

[Retired at last]

Wow - the only person who looks familiar to me is Stacia!

[Starlight925]

Thank you, @NowVoyager, for posting that video.  Just watched!

The most surprising part was that Steve Moy (of Steve & Noi) is now dating Mindy (of Mindy & Zach).  They look good together!

Oh, and that Alexis is engaged to her girlfriend.  Didn't see that coming; they do look happy!

[Elizzikra]

One of my favorite couples ever, DC season’s Austin and Jessica, just had their second baby. Looks like everyone is doing well! https://www.instagram.com/p/C-ihjvHJ5b-/?igsh=YXJrOGZza3RjNGh6

[Crashcourse]

Awww...what a lovely family! 

[qtpye]

Supposedly, Austin and Chicago have wrapped up filming but they are slow to release them after the disaster that was Denver.

Here is Tamara's vlog:

1. Most of the men have done some professional/amateur modeling

2. Ikechi is 41 years old, which might make him the oldest groom the show has ever had.

3. Juan is 37 but strongly prefers women who are 25-30

4. Tamara does a Skims commercial from times the 8 to the 9-minute mark which everyone probably wants to skip.

 

 

[PupCal]

Lifetime seems to be running a MAFS marathon so hopefully we'll get a release date for the new season soon!

[ByTor]

I just read this article regarding season 18. Wow, looks like we're in for some things we never saw before!! 🤪

Moreover, there will be a bride teetering on having cold feet. There will also be a couple questioning their longevity, and talk of lies between one couple.

At this point it's just people wanting to become influencers & to raise their social media profile so they can make a few $s and has absolutely zero to do with finding a partner for life. Lost interest at least 3 seasons ago & probably long before then, more habit than anything else & if I can give up smoking after 40 years I can sure as hell give this up.

I agree 100%. I didn't watch the season before last and regret watching Denver so I'm really trying not to watch this new season. I hope I don't give in, it's not worth it.

It suddenly hit me that it's been a long time, no MAFS. No word on the debut of the next season, even with two seasons already filmed? This does not bode well.

The break was appreciated after the last horror show, but now I'm sort of ready for more. Just a glutton for punishment. Not another boys vs girls season, please.

I think they know they goofed with Season 17 and knew they'd better give the audience a rest before showing any more. My guess is that Season 18 is not any better so they're delaying it and trying to figure out how to make it look like less of a shit show.

[Retired at last]

I am wondering if the results of the next season, which is already completed, weren't any better than the last few and they are not sure they want to release it? It's been really quiet as far as leaks or spoilers, which, you're right @kikicat, it doesn't bode well.

She will rate higher than Emily because she is probably not a falling-down drunk.

The Denver brides were the worst.
