Finding out I agree with Pastor Cal is not making my day.

I gotta say I am shocked about Erik and Virginia. Maybe she reins in the drinking? Or they might be ones that say yes on decision day and are split by the reunion? Either way, that's pretty good considering before the season started I thought it looked like a train wreck. That's the same success rate as last season which was my favorite!

I am a little, too. I had pretty strong gut feelings about the other four couples, which turned out to be right, and I figured Erik and Virginia could go either way. Maybe he reaaaallly didn't want to be twice divorced 🙂 Anyway, there is a spoiler photo of them together at a family dinner just recently, so it looks like they are still together.

A lot men are just very enamored of younger women. If Virginia was closer to Eric’s age, he would probably be disgusted by her party girl ways but probably thinks it’s cute and youthful on Virginia.

Also - when I was her age I was kind of a drunk party girl too but I would have rather been married to a nice guy - maybe she finds out that nice dinners in are a better deal than drinking til you puke every weekend!  I'm kind of disappointed about Haley and Jacob - I feel like all of the women in her life are a little too amused by her "always a bridesmaid" status and I wanted to shut them up!

I partied too In my early/mid 20s. Like every weekend and sometimes Thursday nights were my thing 😂. Then I met my now husband, who totally wasn’t into partying, and I slowly dropped my partying ways. When we do go out, he’s the DD. It works. We’ve been married for 7 years now. 

so I see ourselves a little in Erik & Virginia. I may be in the minority but I think they’re cute together. 

[humbleopinion]

Just like we cheered Nancy, the bridesmaid that pushed back on Chris’ trophy wife nonsense, Erik will step up and push back as Chris continues to run his mouth make an absolute Jackass of himself and demean Paige.

In the preview, Vincent holds Chris back as he charges Erik but anyone else wants Erik to be unleashed and beat the snot out of Chris to shut him up?

Virginia in her drunken stupor is giddy about Erik who is clearly smitten with his kissy face wife....

The Lakes are now my official favorite couple of all MAFSers.

Yes!  I only missed one in my predictions (at least to decision day)!  I had a horrible feeling that Paige was going to try to stick it out because of her faith.  So happy I was wrong on that one!

I bet Erik's dealt with a thousand Chris-Luke-Matt-types in his military career.  He's having none of it.  And, yes, Virginia seems to like that take-charge side of him judging by her expressions in the previews.

I do not condone violence but I sort of wanted to help Eric stomp Chris down. I really hope Paige is okay after this whole fiasco.

I'm not sure Chris is going after Paige in that outburst but is arguing with one of the other wives, possibly Clara or even Virginia, which is why Erik is charging him. 

I fear the show is trying to be more like MAFS - Austrailia, which is not my cup of tea. My sisters, however, are super excited about all the drama we are going to witness this season.  😮

I think you may be right. The title of episode 6 is “defending your wife” so I could see Erik telling chris he’s out of line if he said something inappropriate to Virginia.

I’m glad! She is pretty damaged by her parents divorce too, so maybe that also factored into her desire to not get divorced. I hope we get to see her interacting a little more with her new mother in law bc that lady did not look too happy with her new lush daughter in law at the wedding!

Ugh.  Chris is just an awful human being.  AWFUL!  The "experts" and producers of this show are absolutely disgusting.  They didn't give a #$@! about Paige or how this was going to affect her.  They didn't bother doing any due diligence.  Don't they even do at least cursory personal/financial background checks???

He is, and they are. Either they don't care about doing any checks to see if the person is telling the truth about who they say they are (Hi, Michael!) or they do and don't care what they find out. Pastor Cal was blathering on SM about how they don't know how the person is going to act once the cameras start rolling, and they are just as surprised as we are about Chris...hahahahaha NOT. You're telling me Chris could hide his true personality for longer than 30 seconds? And we saw plenty of bullsh!t from Chris prior to the actual wedding. They could have pulled him any time before the actual ceremony, and said, Sorry, Paige, we don't want to stick you with this guy. She might have been a little upset, but not anywhere near what she's going to be when all his baggage shows up.

I wonder if he will still call himself a "restauranteur" by the end of filming....

Good thing he married an accountant that can potentially handle his "success." 

ETA: I realize that Covid-19 and the ensuing restrictions caused many, many previously successful restaurants and businesses to fail.  However, with Chris, I get that wonderful, fuzzy feeling of schadenfreude.  Sorry not sorry.

So did Chris’ Subway close before or after decision day?

When did ex call with the pregnancy news? I saw a pic of her on her FB page from September and she didn’t look pregnant? And yes, she is stunning. Some folks on FB have accused Chris of being color struck and not liking Paige bc she is dark skinned. Mercedes is lighter than both Chris and Paige but I wouldn’t call her light skinned. But he probably considered her “Trophy Wife” gorgeous.

Thanks for sending me on the hunt for Mercedes. lol  She is really pretty, but I don't think she is any prettier than Paige, who I think is beautiful.  Anyway, I watched their engagement video and they both seemed really happy.  I wonder if lecher-in-law gave Mercedes the same "words of wisdom" he gave to Paige.  I also wonder if Paige is just a rebound or a "so there!" from Chris to Mercedes. 

Both Paige/Chris and Jacob/Haley are going to be PAINFUL to watch.

[gonecrackers]

Chris told Paige he & his ex broke up because- "She didn't trust me, & I didn't trust her."  Trust issue tends to mean infidelity of some sort, so maybe Chris is a cheater. He's not come off as a stellar guy so it's not too difficult to think he would. It's a shame the ex is tied to him now with the child. I would love to know exactly when he found out about the pregnancy.

I went on the same trip and I agree. Mercedes is cute but I would rate her and Paige around the same level as far as looks.

Who cares about whether VA is ready for kids...she is overdue for a series of much needed facials....

All the booze is clogging up her pores, the blackheads are erupting on their own and she needs exfoliation with the power tools....

She can trowel makeup on like Dallas Amber but Virginia has youth on her side she can reverse the damage.

Even if she started chugging water like camel to get her parched skin supple, she needs to scrape off a decade of binge, blackout drinking that is sitting on her face.

Virginia's eggs may be pickled so a dry out period is needed before they start thinking Lake babies....

They say he's "kind of a loner" but the guy's got friends, so to me that's not truly "loner" (being a true loner/introvert myself I think I can judge). I think he's probably just an introvert who has a few friends but lives a quieter lifestyle. This would probably not be compatible with Haley's "very social" lifestyle, but "loner" & "introvert" are two different things. A true loner would also not go on this show, but introverts do, hoping to find someone compatible as well. Then the 'experts' (or production, whatever) pair them with someone to 'bring them out of their shell', which is not necessary & not typically going to work.  So stupid but so typical of this show.

It is surprising how much Erik an his supposedly family love Virginia, when to me she seem like your basic low hanging fruit party girl. 

There are many awesome single women in their thirties that would love to met a guy like Erik.

Oh well, best of luck to both of them.

Well, there's nothing wrong with being reserved & quiet, & editing will make everything seem more awkward than it may be. Reserved & quiet is fine but most likely not compatible with Haley. I'm also not feeling sorry for Haley, though, because she's admittedly shut everyone down at the start gate in her past, then went on this show & trusted them to put her with someone she'd actually give a chance? Um, not gonna happen, but especially not with Jake.

[TheMediumBopper]

Confession: I don't care about any of the couples this season, but based on the previews, I'm just going to hang in there hoping that one of the other grooms gives Chris the ass-kicking he richly deserves.

Good point.  I think I've even mentioned my lack of sympathy for Haley in a different post.  I think I will just save my sympathy for myself and other viewers.

Yeah, I don’t think a real “loner” would go on this show. These two are going to make each other miserable though. They’re making him out to sound like some kind of Holden Caufield here.

I don't think this has anything to do with changing his personality on camera. It was no secret he was engaged literally weeks before applying for this show and they STILL cast him even though that fact alone should have taken him out of the running. There is absolutely zero excuse the "experts" can give for casting this asshole, and they owe Paige a major apology plus a do over or an annulment or both!

[Retired at last]

Remember the talk about that Second Chances show where they were going to put people who weren't cast? I think they should put people they screwed up their matches if anyone would want to redo this - like Mindy, Meka, Paige. I am not counting Olivia because I don't think Brett was the whole problem and I think if either of them were more flexible, they could have made it work.

Huh, i wonder exactly where this subway was located, since I live right near there.

Couldn't they have somehow gotten another subway franchise to gain the equipment instead of just letting passerbys grab it? guess that isn't a legal option but still.... if he wasn't paying the bills, he didn't own the stuff.

Really?  I didn't know that!  He's much snarkier since the show, so I loved watching them on Couples Cam.  They seem pretty nice, settled and happy in their married life. 

Of course, I love watching Elizabeth and Jamie on Couples Cam too, so I'm probably not the norm. lol

I didn't like him from the jump because of the way he treated Danielle about her spending. I'm a working adult. There is no way in hell anyone is going to talk down to me about my spending. My earnings, my money, my decisions.

I understand that Danielle was a big  spender, living on the edge financially and if she was going to settle down, there would have to be some meeting of the minds with regard to how they would handle finances, but his delivery sucked. He treated like like a child. Bleh.
