Did anyone happen to catch this? I just grabbed this screenshot.

So Iris wanted to be an actor...? What a surprise, not. MAFS has really bottomed out as the only applicants appear to be people who want to audition for an 8 week mini soap opera. Problem, they're so unlikeable, so it's hard to root for them.

[endure]

Is MAFS scripted, real or fake.... My personal take is it's getting less real every season.

Congrats to Cody!

I'm questioning Cody's white turtleneck but his fiancée is gorgeous and they look happy together!

I'm questioning a white turtleneck so poorly made that people can see his undershirt through it as your proposal outfit.

His fiancé is quite pretty.

Congratulations to them both.

[princelina]

I'm questioning that he was from MAFS Chicago - I thought he was on the Dallas season.  Oh well 😄

The ridiculous number of boxes of decorations that Nicole bought for the "housewarming" party gives credence to the comments in this thread to her having a ton of debt.

I always assumed that the show gave them that crap. Maybe they gave them an allowance to pay for food, booze, decorations, etc.? If they made them have a party, I just thought they paid for the stuff.

I’m questioning who he is altogether; I have no memory of him. 🤣

Even if the show paid for it, that still was a lot of crap.  I'm assuming she bought it because Chris didn't seem that interested in all that stuff.

Haven’t they done Chicago already?

[seacliffsal]

Maybe Anthony and Ashley could serve as the "experts" for Chicago as they are one of the few success stories...

[Kiss my mutt]

I wish they’d do Denver already!

[redpencil]

I believe Denver is already up for next season.

Anthony and Ashley are a relic of the historical time when the show ACTUALLY had appropriate participants who brought the viewers a plausible reason to watch and enjoy the show. 

NO MORE....now it's simply a clown show of mismatched media hounds who are simply interested in their "15 minutes of making fools of themselves."

Any scoop on the Reunion show or the Where are they now? show? I would love to know Chris and Nicole are still together. I do hope so.

[Elizzikra]

Just getting around to watching "couples couch" and I guess it's not a great sign that Miles is watching with Bennett (who is still QUIRKY) instead of Karen? But he is still wearing his wedding ring, so fingers crossed...

So Jamie Otis posted a disturbing post with her sick son in their RV on their way to a hospital. He looked seriously ill and they film it for public consumption? Gross. Jamie Otis Sick Son  

Also gross, Jamie showing off her pubic hair stubble.

ugh.  she's disgusting.  anything for camera time. look at me, look at me!

I am surprised that they let her/them back on Couples Couch. I had hoped they were gone from the show completely. They are disgusting and highlight the downside of what a little bit of TV time does to someone who is not healthy in the first place.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!

Her baby boy is sick and her first instinct as a mother is to blast it to the world?

Some of the kids who have been exploited on social media by their parents are now grown up and talking about how horrible their childhoods were and how they were often harassed by disgusting people.

I used to admire Jaimie because she came from a poor background and became a nurse despite her economic hardships but now it is obvious that she is trying to fill some horrible hole in her soul by desperately getting attention.

Doug is no better. He would rather enable her stupid behavior rather than get a job or protect his kids.

Okay, I looked, and am ashamed of myself.

She's all about accepting yourself and not worrying about what other people think, but is nevertheless shaving herself to the point that she has razor burn that looks painful.  Seems to me the most self-accepting thing would be to not shave at all.  At least it wouldn't hurt, and it would be just accepting herself as she is instead of accepting the tragic results of trying to change something about herself.

If she accepted herself, she wouldn't feel the need to prove it by showing totally unwanted pictures of herself and her body areas that should be private.

The thing that nauseates me is how weak and compliant doug is to all Jaime's shenanigans.  She's so domineering in the relationship that doug recedes into the emotional background and she "runs the show."  It's hard to see such a "wimp" in action (doug).

I think I saw they bought a very expensive house in FL so I guess HER financial decisions have "paid off."  However, the fact that doug has no conceivable means of earning a living (should she ever leave him which, regardless of what she says now, is always possible), is concerning.

I harken back to Valerie Bertinelli's situation with her ex, Tom, who was in a similar situation to Doug, and she paid him $2 million to conclude the divorce ASAP,  I don't believe that jaime is in Valerie's financial bracket so I don't see that happening; however I  see doug's compliance with her as weakness and very detrimental to a healthy marriage...especially since jaime is now insistent on bringing another child into the world.  

I agree with others that say they add NOTHING to the Couple's Couch offshoot except overt DYSFUNCTION.

I am not on Reddit or IG, so if anyone sees any scoop about the Reunion show that is supposed to film this weekend, please share. Thanks!

If Jamie leaves then Doug's parents will financially support him and take care of the kids, so he can go play softball for the rest of his life.

I remember the short-lived series about the first year of their marriage, how Doug's parents did everything for him because he was the "baby".

I think they lost out on a house because Doug's credit was bad and he had kept the fact from Jaimie.

May I remark that I presume doug's parents are retirees.  I'm a retiree.  Before 2020, I was very comfortable financially.  Perhaps doug's parents are in my PRIOR FINANCIAL CATEGORY.

I certainly can't speak for them; however, I will tell you that I used to be able to assist my kids financially; HOWEVER, NO MORE!  With the hit I've taken in my investments and the prices of goods/services, my kids/grandchildren understand I'm not financially where I was just a few short years ago, AND , I just heard this morning that our economy is further GOING SOUTH IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

On that basis, perhaps doug will be able to pick up a job or two to tend to his needs if or when the curtain descends on their marriage. 

[bref]

Jamie's "sick kid" post was from last June. She has it pinned on her Insta. 😒 She positions it as a "listen to your mama instincts" lesson, like the razor burn post was positioned as "love your body" encouragement. Bitch, please. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Doug is such a useless, lazy schmuck. Jamie would be fine without him. At the very least Doug could move into his old room at the “rents”. They enabled his laziness all of his life. They are a joke.

Isn't/wasn't Jamie a real nurse at one time? It seems that SHE could get a job and stop the pathetic money grabbing.

I honestly thought that was going to happen. Jaimie would earn good money as a nurse and Doug could be a househusband.

I guess it is hard to go back to a regular job when you spend all your time pursuing fame.

I believe she was a labor and delivery nurse. I don't know if she kept her license current or not but I'm sure she could reinstate it.

Nursing is really, really hard work though - especially hospital nursing. They make decent enough salaries, especially now, but every hospital is understaffed and nurses are quitting in droves because they are burned out. Even if you manage to stay, it's so physically and emotionally demanding there is little left for anything else. So I get why Jamie might be reluctant to return to that profession, even though she could earn good money. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Jamie has always believed she was born for greater things like whoring your family out on social media.

If I recall correctly, Jaime stated MANY years ago that the nursing profession was entirely too laborious (pun on her former specialty😊) and resuming her nursing career would NEVER interest her.

I see her more as trying to milk the "influencer" sphere on social media with the many self-induced "dramas" in her life that might be able to be monetized. 

As it stands now, I'm not clear on how they pay their monthly bills (must be HIGH) as who knows how much actual cash they have?  As far as I can tell, their only "income" is this Couples Couch gig that I highly DOUBT pays much.  Even when Jaime had her prize spot on the "after party" MAFS show, I'm not seeing "big bucks" there either.  Doug, as we all know, produces ZERO income so it's all up to Jaime.

[buttersister]

(Whispers) Wow. I stopped watching and occasionally check in to see if I'm missing anything. I'm not. Bye.

So, we have two couples who have been or will be intimate by next week and we have 3 couples (including Mac and Dom) who won't come close, in my opinion. I don't remember who all the couples were last season, but I think they all had sex, didn't they? We know Miguel and Lindy, Mitch and Krysten, Alexis and Justin, Nate and Stacia did, but, oops forgot Morgan and Binh. So 4/5 had sex and they ended with a 0/5 season. I am predicting 1/5 will say yes on Decision Day and I am not sure if they will still be together by the Where are they now? show.

(OK, how pathetic am I that I remembered all the names from last season? Unless I have mixed them with other seasons - that would be OK.)

I agree about the sick son, but I don't care about anyone's pubes showing. It still annoys me that women are expected to shave everywhere, but on men, it's all good. Yes, more men are waxing, but it's not necessary.

It’s not that it bothers me, it’s that she posts a stupid reel about it. Couldn’t care less irl.

I don't remember if this was posted already.

But, it looks like Jasmine got her teeth done. Good for her. I hope she did it for herself & not for all the mean things people said about her.

Also, I always kinda thought her jobs as cheerleading coach & dog breeder probably didn't have health insurance, so maybe it was something she couldn't really afford.

i guess the money from the show went to a good cause then - she looks more confident and lovely with her smile

nice to see she's still hanging out with nicole

In that picture, Nicole really does look tiny. Or maybe Jas is super tall?
