Here I thought he couldn't be any more of a tool...then I read his website bio. 🤣 He also couldn't be any lazier with this merch he is shilling. How does a regular lined journal with his face slapped on it get branded as a "couple's notebook"??

You're so right!  😂 😂😂 And charging $18.50 for a notebook with a drawing of his face! 🤣  Or a sticker that says "Juancho's Ponchos"!  That's all he's selling!  Go get him Karla! 😂

If anyone should make some money it should be David and Madison. They could do a Lifetime movie about them. Or a couples workout video.

I bet with their popularity they have things in the works.  I've been seeing pictures of them on a cruise.

They just 'fit'!

Allen is doing Instagram ads for Sono Bello, which is apparently a laser liposuction company. He barely even had a tummy, so I personally find it disappointing that he went that route and is promoting it to his followers. I unfollowed him after that since watching his liposuction journey just isn't for me. He also said in the comments that he stopped wearing his teeth straightening aligners as soon as the show stopped filming. I personally think his teeth could have used more help than his waistline, but I guess it's a different story committing to the lifestyle change of wearing the aligners than it is getting plastic surgery

I don't have teeth aligners (I could use them) but I do have a mouth guard and I have a hard time wearing it. It makes me gag. It only works if I manage to fall asleep right after I put it in. 

I don't think that Allen needs whatever it is that Sono Bello does but I also don't believe that it really "works" so I guess it's irrelevant.

I could see a cruise with them being a fun time.

What a sellout! And isn’t Sonabello for women?

[Retired at last]

Usually you only see women in the commercials for it, but they will take anyone's money. I had something like it done years ago, and it is excruciatingly painful since you are awake. Men would not tolerate that for vanity like women, unfortunately, would and do. But, I agree that Allen doesn't seem like a candidate and I don't see him as a spokesperson who will resonate with men.

I did Invisalign and it must be much less bulky than a mouthguard because nothing about it was uncomfortable or made me want to gag. It is definitely a lifestyle adjustment, though, having to wear the aligners all the time, brush every time you eat, cut down on snacking, and not being able to drink anything but water while having them in. It was well worth it for me, but obviously Allen did it entirely for Madison and not himself if he stopped within a couple weeks.

If Sono Bello doesn't work then that makes it even worse that Allen is promoting it to his followers. He obviously got it for free or deeply discounted, but it's definitely not cheap otherwise. A cursory search tells me it starts at like $3,000 for smaller areas like the chin and upwards of $10K for belly fat removal. This is Allen's "before" picture he used on the ad -- not even what I would consider a dad bod, smh.

[Crashcourse]

Allen isn't the first reality tv person to have a side hustle to make money, so I don't have a problem with it.

[princelina]

Me neither - it just does seem like a funny company for him to shill, and funny that they picked him to do it 😄

His stomach area isn’t bad at all.

Agreed. I find the tattoo to be more unappealing than the tiny bit of love handles. His body looks good for someone pushing 40 and really didn't need cosmetic surgery.

Listened to a podcast interview with Michelle. Here are a few of the big takeaways:

- She didn't specifically ask for a light-skinned Black guy with tattoos. She's dated all races and actually told them she was very open physically. The experts pushed her to be more specific about what her ideal type is, which led her to saying she likes light skinned-Black guys, but she didn't outright ask for that or limit herself to that preference. She thinks she and David were matched with the intent of drama since the only thing they have in common is liking country music and having some experience in the social work field.

- Michelle and David had the first wedding of all the couples, and there were 5-6 days between that day and the honeymoon while the other weddings were filmed. During that time, she and David were sequestered separately in their own hotels and she just sat there stewing over feeling like she didn't get what she asked for/envisioned. She attributes being so pissed off at the honeymoon in part to sitting alone for almost a week with nothing to do but stew. She does continue to take accountability and say she shouldn't have taken things out on David when it wasn't his fault they were poorly matched.

- She did have dinners with David every night on the honeymoon where she claims she was asking a lot of questions and he was the one who wouldn't open up. Then he came back from that workout with Madison where she encouraged him to ask about her family and Michelle gave that bitchy response because she says it came out of left field for her. She says she did live at the apartment with David in separate bedrooms and did interact with him off camera. They could only spend time together on the weekends since he worked from 2-11 PM during the week, so Saturday/Sunday would be long filming days. David was sometimes hung over those days since he would stay out late partying.

- She doesn't think anybody from the cast or crew knew about Madison and David. She says nobody from production suggested it to her. She brought up the speculations to her producer and after that they prodded her about it nonstop. She thinks they went back to review footage and see if it checked out after she was the one who put it out there. 

- The host commented on how good she looks and asked what she did post-show to achieve that. Michelle says the viewers might have a misconception she doesn't like working out because she didn't join David in the gym, but she's always been an active person. She would go running regularly while filming the show, but since then she's amped up her fitness routine significantly. She's always doing group fitness classes and works out on a daily basis now.

[ChristmasJones]

I assume that most of the folks on this show and other reality teevee shows probably will take just about any sort of promotional offer they get. They've got to strike while the iron is still lukewarm after all. Grab them coins if they can.

[Retired at last]

Interesting that after Michelle informed production, then they went back and made all those clips showing the two of them returning to their apartments the same late times. IF that is how it happened. But, just think. . .if Michelle had wanted to find something she had in common with David, then SHE could have been working out with him and who knows what might have happened? But, she clearly wanted nothing to do with him from the beginning.

They were never a good match. Michelle faking an interest in the gym isn’t going to change that.

I think it’s in her nature to be bitchy and critical. She’s doing some damage control now. Not that it matters, nobody will care the further we get from the season.

It's not like David was a good partner either, flirting with another wife from day one and showing up to dates hung over. They were definitely a terrible match, and I don't believe David is a good match for any woman Michelle's age who's serious about marriage.

She definitely wanted a more sophisticated husband . Dinners and drinks at nice places. I understand her not wanting a husband who prioritizes partying. Madison seems similar as she left Allen sitting at home to go out. 

[Retired at last]

I don't think anyone has criticized Michelle for not being attracted to David. Very few people would be. I know that I didn't like the way she treated him and then claimed that she was "trying so hard" when she wasn't. And turning herself into a victim was too much. We all knew that she didn't want him, so why did she care what he did with Madison? Was it tacky? Yes. Did it break her heart? No. Madison was far worse in her behavior, since Allen truly wanted to make it work and had real feelings for her, which Michelle never had for David. 

So, for now, David and Madison are in love until someone else comes around, since neither of them can be counted on to stay committed to a partner. I am glad I don't have Peacock so I can't see how the show parades these two around as a success story that we should be excited to celebrate.

[atomic]

It's true that Michelle never tried. Neither did David. The problem is, in every expert session David yammered on about being so invested in the marriage and being determined to make it work all while he was already up in Madison's taco. I don't blame Michelle for being pissed when it came to light what a gaslighting fraud David turned out to be. 

[Giddyup]

Michelle has no business speaking about David. She was a complete asshole almost right away. No man is going to want a nagging shrew who is never happy!

[Crashcourse]

David and Madison could have waited until after Decision Day to start their relationship, but they chose to sneak around together while they were still married to someone else.

I hope I never see them on my tv again, and if I do, I'll grab the remote.

I don’t need to see them again either but I was wondering if MAFS was going to televise their eventual wedding.

Honestly, Madison has a good job in an industry that likely would frown on her involvement in this type of reality tv. She should just walk away now and go on and live her life.

Well, if they do televise the wedding, I won't be watching and I don't have Peacock.  The same goes for Emem and Brandon if their wedding is televised.

Everyone from this season with the exception of Ikechi has been doing podcast interviews about their MAFS experience. I think it's fine since we only see a tiny portion of what actually happened and the producers often have their own agenda with the narratives they set forth. I don't have anything to share about David's interviews because I don't like him and don't care to waste my time listening to a habitual liar, but feel free to check them out for yourself since you are a fan.

They probably should have come clean as soon as the text went to Michelle.

Oh I hope they televise their wedding! They are adorable. I bet Michelle attends if it turns into a MAFS thing. Madison will be a beautiful bride and David a handsome groom when with the right person!

Now Madison and David party together and they look like they are having so much fun!

No gloomy Gus Michelle or waiting on the couch Allen while they party alone!

David had to know right away that he wouldn’t want to come home to mean mug Michelle. He found love with a kind woman and in my opinion he’s not at fault for that.

[SummerDreams]

Madison is a kind and beautiful woman, what else are we going to read in here I wonder. 🤔

One thing I speicifically remember hearing her say about looks was "edgy".  If you say "edgy" you can't be surprised by a curly front pony - you need to be happy you didn't get matched with Michael 😂

Sequestered in a hotel room alone for 6 days after your wedding?  I can't see any wedding working out after that - whose dumb idea was that?

[LennieBriscoe]

Madison is "kind"? It's a positive that these two 30-Somethings like to "party"?

When does the "Grow Up Stage" kick in with her and David? When Mom kicks him out of her basement??

I don’t think it’s a problem that they both like to go out drinking, though I think it becomes a problem if you start having kids and the partying is more important than they are, or if one member of the couple changes their view on partying and the other does not. Right now they are compatible in this regard and while going out drinking is not my idea of a good time, it’s fine that it’s theirs. It could be like that forever or it could change.

[LennieBriscoe]

Well, when Madison and David return home after partying, they had better stay off my lawn!
