S12.E05: Last Night Was Magic

[Hangin Out]

Is Chris auditioning for a acting role?  He’s always disappearing, having a panic attack or whatever.  I can’t stand him or her at this point.  Why is she even there?  Or, did the producers try a new problem tonight?

[CSunshine76]

So clearly Erik and Virginia have had a lot to drink and have no idea what they’ve walked into.  Shut up!

“Damn, y’all went at it.” 🤣🤣🤣

Chris has dead eyes. Dead. I hate him.

Honestly I can't be too mad at them; it's day three of them being married and it's supposed to be a happy time. This whole pregnancy situation is a very unusual scenario to be in. Everybody's supposed to be on cloud nine🤷🏾‍♀️

I think Ryan is great . He asks a lot of questions and keeps up conversation without babbling on , he’s very down to earth and is cute . Clara is talking the talk and keeps saying she likes him , but her facial expressions and body language tell a different story . 
 

I’m pretty sure Virginia is slowly turning Eric into an alcoholic . He reminds me a lot of David Norton . Anyone else agree ?

I think Clara likes Ryan a lot. But she's worried that Ryan will in the end reject her because he's never told the woman that he loves them. I think she's quite afraid of being overly vulnerable and then becoming hurt/devastated.  He's a real catch although a little bit rigid in his pre-married lifestyle. Seems like he's got a great job, a great body, nice face, elf ears but that will improve with some hair on the side.  I would've personally been horrified at his haircut but hair grows, and hopefully love grows.

I think that Paige and Chris must have been told by the producers to “ suck it up” and you can get divorced at the end of the experiment and pulled out the iron clad contracts that they signed.  Meanwhile, I happen to like Jacob’s dry sense of humor and I appreciate that even though he might not be her style, she is really making an attempt to “ get him” and not sulking and bitching about how she didn’t get the man of her dreams. Meanwhile, I think the couple that willhave the most problems after the lust is gone is Virginia & Erik.He’s very controlling and has a stick up his ass and she’s a free spirit and an alcoholic.

Can we talk about that giant vein so grotesquely displayed on Erik’s bald head? I’m really warming up to him but that hair “style” isn’t doing him any favors. And seriously, Erik and every other parent in the world, please please do not FORCE your children to go to the church of YOUR choice!! I was raised in a strict southern baptist church and forced to go twice every Sunday and on Wednesday night, revivals, VBS and basically every time the church doors were opened. I hated it and resent my parents for it to this day!!!
 

[gonecrackers]

Whenever I see VA & Erik interacting it seems like she’s some party gurl teenager with her young dad who’s trying to act her age.

Who?  Eric has hair.  Vincent?  

[Adeejay]

Chris said that he called his ex-girlfriend to tell her that he is married and that was when she told him she was pregnant.  I believe he called his ex to tell her that he got married and that he made a huge mistake; and then she told him she was pregnant.  Would that stupid Paige had the same tone in her voice when she speaks with Chris as she did when speaking to Virginia.

[answerphone]

Oh, Paige...”God is writing my story.”  How about they matched you with s really crappy man!

Virginia is so cute, but the constant drinking and sun damage will make her look 15 years older in just five years.

 Clara looks like Gwen Stefani, before she had a few cosmetic procedures. 

I’m on the fence about Haley and Jacob. So far, they appear to be happy.  

Vincent is so sweet & considerate.

Am I the only one who feels like Virginia had a legit question about the paternity of this baby? Even if she was drunk when she asked. Lol

I’m feeling less and less sorry for Paige as this goes on. 

Vincent and Briana are so cute. I’m actually liking Virginia and Erik a little. I don’t know if they’ll make it long term though. I hope Ryan and Clara make it although they have a lot to work through with their different views on religion. I’m also warming up to Jacob but maybe because I grew up in the 80’s so I wouldn’t be turned off by his nerdy fascination unless he made it his entire personality. 

[Rae Spellman]

Unpopular opinion: Paige is more frustrating than Chris. The show is doing Chris almost as dirty as they are doing Paige. Dude is an immature twenty-seven, is shallow, and they matched him with someone he wouldn't be attracted to. He is not ready to be married, they selected him anyway, and are exploiting him for entertainment. That said both Paige and Chris are old enough to know better. 

Chris told and showed Paige who he was. She should believe him. Maybe Paige's problem is that she wants a Chris-type dude when she'd be better off with some average looking accountant who is nominally Christian. As others have said, she needs to stop blaming MAFS shenanigans on God.

I agree - in Chris’s shoes, that’s the first question I’d ask. It might have been tacky of Virginia to ask since she doesn’t know him, but it’s a valid question. I’m sure they were all thinking it.

I really need Chris to keep God out of this mess. He's literally using Paige's faith to manipulate her. Pastor Cal needs to anoint this fool the next time he sees him. He wasn't a fan of Chris anyway. 

God says sex is for people who are married.  Paige says sex is for those who know her middle name - and then she can't even hold out for that standard.  Paige isn't an asshole like Chris, but she needs to study her Bible as much as he does.

Maybe Paige's problem is that she wants a Chris when she'd be better off with some average looking accountant who is nominally Christian and doesn't blame God for his terrible choices.

I realized tonight that Chris' typical facial expression reminds me of my former 7th/8th grade students - specifically when they had just gotten in trouble and were sulking about it.  "Extensive psychological testing" should be able to suss that out if I can tell by looking 😄 

And IMO Chris is the nominal Christian.  Paige might be fine with an actual Christian accountant.

[greeneyedscorpio]

So when you get a positive pregnancy test around the time you miss your period, you're already 4 weeks pregnant.  (Don't blame me, I didn't decide how they count).  So if she's 6 weeks along, she got pregnant 4 weeks prior, as ovulation happens mid-cycle.  So he was not last intimate with her 6 weeks ago, it was 4, if it's his.  If it really has been 6 weeks since he had sex with ex, then that baby isn't his.

I kind of agree with you, there. I've disliked Chris since they showed him bringing his fancy Nick Cannon-style shoes to the tuxedo shop to find a suit to match them. There was no real reason for me to feel that way, I just did. It has only gotten worse the more I watch from the reveal that he'd been engaged recently, to his reaction to Paige as she came down the aisle, to all what has gone on between them since the ceremony.  It's got to be the way he's been portrayed... maybe. He has definitely got the pile on of ire and criticism from fans. Much like Karen did last season, who now seems to be happily married to Miles. There's always at least one newlywed per season, that so many of us can't stand.

Obviously one of production crew stopped action to ask Paige to get  dressed again on Filter. She was clearly uncomfortable.  Her wardrobe for the show was a huge improvement.  Good taste and elegant IMO.

Jake - I’m in his corner tonight I heard first conversation between them. Maybe too little to judge yet.  
 

Eric typical  popular guy who got the popular girl.  But some hanky panky maybe?  Why he’s so adamant about sexual attraction?  Who knows?  He might be good for her.  She’s headed down a challenging path.  
 

I love Clara and Ryan. I see tolerance, good conversations, questions, and attraction.  Her lack of “tidyness” and disorganization may be a deal breaker.  

[buttersister]

Oh, Show.  Casting Chris should send you to TV jail. Did you find Erik by dialing 1-800-CONTROLFREAK? He’s the captain, alright. I can see them coasting on DDay, but no way that works long term.

The other three couples have real potential. Sure, Jake’s eccentric but decent and perhaps loving and kind. Ryan and Clara may both be mature enough to make it work (Clara?) and I’m waiting to see what producer drama they dream up for Vincent and Briana, who seem like Woody and Amani, which is a treat.

 

[Yeah No]

Here's my theory about Chris:  I think he might have already known his ex-fiance was pregnant before he went on the show but thought he would hide it if he liked the person he married.  He may have been desperate to find a way to marry himself off to someone else in order to avoid being pressured by family and friends into marrying the pregnant ex-fiance when they found out about it.   It might explain some of his totally messed up behavior on the show.  He didn't factor in how to handle it if he didn't like the woman he was matched with, and when he didn't he was in a quandary about how to sabotage it.  He didn't want to come right out and tell her the news about the pregnancy on TV so he only went so far by first sabotaging things by telling her he wasn't "attracted" to her, then telling her the "devastating news" thing, not thinking it through that this was never going to work or get him off the hook with this marriage.  What a completely messed up individual.  I am sick to my stomach at Dr. Pepper on last week's "Unfiltered" defending herself and the "experts" for picking him because of all the "dozens of interviews" they did with him and how nothing bad came up.  Come ON, I could see this bastard a MILE away, don't tell me she didn't either.  She is just covering up for the fact that the producers pick the losers for "entertainment" value.  Meanwhile poor Paige is devastated and admits it has done more damage to her than she even thought it would.  She should sue their asses off, really.

Yes, Virginia had a legit question. Chris mentioned that he and the ex didn't trust each other. He said he had other "friends" during their relationship. Maybe she had "friends" after they broke up. Chris told us his pull out game is strong. Has it even been confirmed that there is an actual kid on the way? 

[NowVoyager]

Chris seems oddly certain that the baby is his. 

Pilot Erik seems controlling.

Vincent & Briana's beach date was adorable.

Paige looked so pissed at dinner, I had my hopes up she was going to kick his ass to the curb.

[Kdawg82]

Popping in to say...

Ryan is like MY guy. "He can go by 'rocket man'." How did Clara not laugh at that?  Very personally speaking, I'd not say "no" to the religion thing with kids & I'd not say "no" to Elton. It's a unique name & it seemed special to Ryan. I'd sooner say "no" to Vera for a girl. I agree dolphins shouldn't be held in captivity for human viewing pleasure.  Poor creatures😪

Warning signs for Erik & Virginia. He's stringent.  He's fathering her in a way.  Buuuut- maybe she will grow up a tad. I kind of grew in that way with my husband. He's not like Erik but he's always been the less naive one (shall I say?).

Poor Briana is like the emotional storage bin on her honeymoon. Between the grandmother heart attack & now *this* from Paige. But Paige is so deceived here. She's right! It's not adding up. Run, Paige! RUN!! Use those track running skills from high school & get going. I'll be mad if she doesn't.  Chris is dumb as HELL! I've said this before & it bears repeating. Good advice from Briana & her husband (forgot his name).  

Can Haley PLEASE please please develop a personality?!  Like any time would be good.  I don't care how awkward Jacob comes across- he at least exists.  He probably has more enthusiastic convos with the shower curtain than with Haley.  He needed a partner with an outgoing nature to at least engage him. Sometimes I feel like he is in on the joke with the way he is. I feel he's trying to have fun. 

ETA: Erik has my full attention now. I'm on board with him 100%.

Wow Chris is a literal infant. Y’all notice he could barely contain his SMILE when he was telling Paige and then the group? Then he stormed off when the group moved on, and he didn’t get all the attention he was seeking. A normal man in his situation would’ve been relieved that they moved on and changed the subject! But the narcissist was wanting to milk his moment just like he did and drew it out with Paige. The group wasn’t having any of it, so good for them for not indulging! Then he whines saying “looks like everyone else got the type of match they asked for”.  Oh fuck right off you piece of shit! How any woman on earth can allow him inside their body is beyond me! But that woman deserves whatever she gets from that monster cuz he red flags wave the moment he opens his trashy mouth  

  Chris’s whole “this is too devastating to tell you, but don’t you wanna know”? -And then switching back to “oh no but I can’t tell you”! And when Paige walks off, Chris follows her, and continues to ask if she REALLY wants to know... yeah... FUCK that. I don’t play those games! Haven’t played that since I was 15 years old. I refuse to. I would have just said OK! And walked off. When he tried to bring it up again, I would’ve told him that’s OK it’s too devastating to talk about. You don’t feed into this level of childishness! Reverse psychology would be a complete mind fuck on this tool. And Paige is and idiot. Zero sympathy. Not sorry. 

  It’s painfully clear that Erik has been cheated on in the past. Or he has seen it run rampant with his buddie’s wives. I’m not gonna fault him for his opinion, and I’m not gonna say that he’s right or wrong. I’m a little older than him and I will say that the only men and women I know in my group that are “true” friends were former lovers. And that wouldn’t sit well with me with my past history of being cheated on either. Y’all called it when y’all said Virginia was one of those girls who had mostly guy friends. Yeah, we all know the party girl type while the guys hold her doing keg stand. Virginia seems very immature for her age, and imho she seems of very minimal intelligence.

Everyone else is great to watch! They have their ups and downs and I enjoy the matches

Erik is taking the Billy Crystal stance that Men and Women can’t be friends backed up by the bad behavior amongst his married friends.

He needs to listen to VA’s Meg Ryan stance that she has plenty of drinking buddies guy friends and he needs to trust her.

Delivering ultimatums to a buzzed VA sitting in a tepid wading pool in hot Las Vegas will only lead to a useless drunken fight with her not remembering anything....

100% agree! I have no idea why Virginia wants to be married. She wants to continue to party, have her guy friends, drink all the time and go out as much as possible. In other words, she doesn't want to change a thing. She should be thrilled Erik is away working so much, then she can do her thing without him nagging at her. Erik is still pretending he is madly crazy about this immature party girl when all signals show they are complete opposites. And he's not that much older than her. 8 years is no big deal. They act like he's 20 years her senior.

The good/okay:

Briana and Vincent being unproblematic (so far).  I feel like they've fallen for each other already.  I wonder what ridiculous producer-shenanigans they will introduce to give them some drama (e.g., Deonna to Greg: "You give me too many compliments!")

Virginia and Erik  Man. Erik is DESPERATE for this to work.  Virginia is a lucky young woman.  I think she needs some structure and he needs some loosening up.  Hopefully, since they seem to like each other, they will balance each other a bit.  I actually thought Virginia's concerns about children and how to manage with him gone 50% of the time were valid.  I know some Navy spouses who have to deal with their partners being gone six months a year and it is NOT easy, whether the spouse is at sea OR at home.  However, I do believe that both of their families would offer a good support system, especially since Erik's mother has already lived that life.  Still hopeful for these two.

Clara and Ryan As someone posted here last week, I do wish that Ryan would actually ASK Clara about what happened to make her experience with organized religion so awful.  I suppose he could have asked that off-camera, but it doesn't seem like it.  I did like how she was sure to say she would support her kids through everything, pointedly including their sexual orientation, and then the camera cut to Ryan. lol 

The Meh:

Haley and Jacob seem like two very bland, nice people who have been mismatched.   Although #awkward, I have to say they looked pretty darn cozy this episode.  I also noticed on Unfiltered Vincent called out how hilarious he thought Jacob was, so I hope she is patient enough to get to know him.  I think they could end up in the "polite acquaintance zone" whether they stay married or not.

The Bad and The Ugly:

Paige and Chris *sigh* Wars, natural disasters, pandemics, starving families, abused dolphins, and Paige believes that God is worried about MAFS and Chris's ridiculousness. Maybe that's true, but if you believe in good, you also should believe in evil, and Paige, you may be married to it.  I still have a TINY bit of sympathy for her, but it is very thin.  She had her chance to just walk away before she became too invested, but she chose not to do so.  Briana and Vincent are the most sensible people on this show right now.  They were both like, "Yeah.  She should bounce." 

And here I thought "grief sex" only happened on soap operas!  Who knew??? Did he say the woman is SIX WEEKS pregnant?  Does that not mean that he slept with her DURING this process?? 

And, sorry, but I LOVED Virginia and Erik jumping into that conversation!  When Virginia was like, "Is it yours?" I burst out laughing.  Chris thought that was disrespectful, but his own behavior hasn't been?  Ugh.  He deserves every angry tweet, pissed-off YouTube comment, and real-life shunning he gets.  The longer I watch him the uglier he gets.  I hate how he puts his chin down and looks at Paige through those snake-like, cold eyes with his half-closed eyelids like it's up to her to make their marriage work and support his crappy choices.  Chris feeling "neglected" because people were only supporting Paige! LMAO!  I'm sorry, but every time he has a fake "panic attack," I roll my eyes.  If this is how he treats his "Queen," I can not even imagine how he treats other women.  Like WTF, show??  

I demand a refund.  AND an apology.

P.S. - I know I could just not watch, but it's more fun to bit$% about it. lol
