Katie111 Wednesday at 07:08 PM Share Wednesday at 07:08 PM I do think Allen is not completely innocent here. No idea why but he found Madison hot so he was willing to do anything she wanted to try to get her interested in him. I wonder what would have happened if he got a spouse that he did not find "hot". Madison was never all that nice to him, went out almost every night drinking without him, and showed him zero physical affection. If she was a brunette with 10 extra pounds on her, would he have been so forgiving of her behavior? I think he was thinking with his d*** and not his brain this entire time. Not saying he deserved what he got but he made a fool out of himself for trying so hard because he thought she was a "10". And she is a liar. It clearly had nothing to do with his clothes, his teeth or anything else. David's clothing and teeth are worse than Allen's. She was just never into him, she just hid it a bit better than Michelle, although I think going out drinking every night without your spouse is really not trying at all. And Camille's outfit at the party......whoa! Was she planning on moving into a nursing home once they moved out of the apartment? 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8591669

Instead of owning that he completely messed up and tried to cover it with lies, he continued to put it back on her. How'd he put it back on her? 🤔That's what she says whenever he says he wasn't getting any attention or care from her. Her behavior did contribute. Doesn't make it right nor excuse what he did, it's what happened though. I wonder if he was happy with Michelle if he still would've "caught feelings" for Madison. 🤔 He does take ownership of not voicing his feelings & messing up there. I guess we didn't see him really own being wrong for the text & repeatedly lying & that took him wayyyy down. Maybe he thought that was okay because he thought she didn't care what he did since she didn't want him.

atomic Wednesday at 07:24 PM Share Wednesday at 07:24 PM Camille's style is so tragic. I think she has a beautiful face and hair and would be a stunner if she didn't dress so horribly. On decision day I think it would have made Thomas really happy if she wore the ruby necklace he gave her to match her red dress. Maybe she didn't think it would quite go with the rest of her look, but those black lace-up kitten heels she was wearing sure as hell did not either. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8591694

Allen could've skipped it, but didn't? Why? David's behavior was ATROCIOUS!!! Acted a straight up fool, then quit answering with his, "I don't know," to if thinking she didn't care (about the marriage?) was a free-for-all. That's a child right there! He wasn't there to discuss anything. He was there to make a statement and go. Tried shutting it down with the ring on the table, then resorted to idk responses. Guess he finally hit his limit of the hot seat. 😅 He didn't intend on hurting her? WHAT did he intend? Is she hurt? For what?! WHAT did David think Michelle didn't care about? His feelings and/or him dealing with other women? He keeps harping on her never asking how he was, so I guess that. They both say, "could care less," which is WRONG. Twinsies! Add Em to that! I hope they cut Michelle saying what she did wrong, cuz if there was none of that, that's a problem. I disagree with just showing David answering for his behavior. She kept invalidating what he said by repeating her, "that's your story now, so is it true?," BS!!! He should've told her to cut the BS & quit playing. He said some right things until he "checked out." He didn't share his feelings so they could work on them, but I guess also felt like he couldn't because she didn't even care to ask his feelings. Still, he could've been an adult and told her. She said she cared about him as a person, ask HOW she showed that! He did realize where he went wrong, he just couldn't own it til the end of the conversation. Can't take any push back. Did he think that text & lying was wrong??? 🤔 WHERE'S HER TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY??? TOM??? MR. ACCOUNTABILITY POLICE BETTER CHECK HER!! WHAT IS SHE UPSET ABOUT???

JenE4 Wednesday at 10:33 PM Share Wednesday at 10:33 PM Okay, foremost, apologies to last week’s poster regarding Karla showing off her breasts to the men. I still don’t think it was intentional, but Karla does seem to select these open tops with too much loose fabric or not enough fabric in the right places and nothing to fill it out and hold the fabric in place. Granted, I think this is about the same affect as a 10-year-old boy without a shirt on, so I don’t think anyone is losing their minds with lust…least of all her own husband. i really don’t have much else to say about the rest of them. The Lifetime app was being wonky, so there was no sound for Camille’s supposed fakeout to Thomas. But I’m imagining it was something like the old American Idol, Ryan Seacrest, “I’m so sorry… but… … You’re going to Holllyyywooooood!” But, okay, glad at least one couple is giving it a shot. His girlfriend who waited 9 years for a proposal must be pissed as hell. Can we get her on the After Party? Madison. Yikes! The whole passive aggressive “honey” and “babe” at Michelle was uncalled for! What did she do to you?!?! You got her man, regardless of whether or not she wanted him anyway. Sure, maybe Michelle was talking about you behind your back questioning your integrity but everything she was speculating about was true!!! There’s just no need to be acting like you’re the injured party here and Michelle is deserving of being put in her place. Damn. You can’t at least pretend to be a nice person or have some empathy or something?! David’s been getting a lot of attention for lying. But Madison just proved herself (to me) to be the bigger villain. It’s one thing to try to deflect, like David, but Madison is like actively attacking and kicking her “rival” while she’s down when she didn’t even do anything to you in the first place. Total mean girl behavior. Whelp, Madison and David deserve each other.

Elizzikra Wednesday at 11:02 PM Share Wednesday at 11:02 PM (edited) Quote Allen was right telling David to stop saying their intention wasn’t bad. Yes it was! David intentionally sent the "I wanna eatchyouup" text message - he was just too stupid or too drunk (or both) to send it to the intended recipient. Everything after that, including any "gym dates" he went on with Madison were obviously intentional efforts to grow their relationship. Re: Madison's Sephora employee makeup at the "party" last night - it could not have clashed more, the pink eye shadow and the red dress. I wonder if she was wearing pink and changed when David showed up in red? Or she is color blind? I know in some circles that super heavy eye shadow is a look but at least choose a complementary color palate. Quote I do think Allen is not completely innocent here. No idea why but he found Madison hot so he was willing to do anything she wanted to try to get her interested in him. I wonder what would have happened if he got a spouse that he did not find "hot". Madison was never all that nice to him, went out almost every night drinking without him, and showed him zero physical affection. I don't think that makes him guilty of anything. I think he bought into the process and the supposed "expertise" in addition to being attracted to Madison physically. I actually do think that he would have genuinely tried to make things work with a brunette who had an additional ten (or 30) pounds on her. In the real world, physical attraction is often the first thing. Sure, there are always those couples who start off as friends and grow into something romantic but no one swipes right (or is it left, that was after my time and I can never remember) on a good sense of humor or hits on the most well-read guy in the bar...

Not saying he deserved what he got but he made a fool out of himself for trying so hard because he thought she was a "10". He's not innocent as he should have intervened and called her out for allegedly hanging out with her friends. He should have seen the writing on the wall and confronted it. But I didn't observe him drooling over Madison I observed a man who accepted that she is his wife and they are supposed to work on being a happily married couple. I think had he been matched with Michelle who isn't quite as attractive he would have approached it same way. They didn't even as much as kiss after the wedding. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593357

I don't think that was production. I think it was all Camille, and she even said that he has to expect her to put the "Camille touch" on those things. As I have thought for a long time - she is cruel and mean and anyone who purposefully plays mind f@# games on people to emotionally screw with their heads is just rotten to the core. I had a manager who did that and she actually thought that if she paid me a compliment by first scaring me to death and making me think I was getting fired is just plain horrible. The praise was completely lost and I found another job as soon as I could. I am sorry that it seems that Tom is still dealing with that. No one has mentioned Pia's attire and make-up. At first I thought she was dressed for Halloween with the dark purple lipstick and green and orange skirt with her skintight top, Then she wore a different shade of purple lipstick when she met with the next couple. She needs an intervention fast. And this was well before she had her baby. Just atrocious. I am totally over Em's meltdowns and I am believing Ick more and more. She has had that attitude of superiority the whole time and I totally believe that she behaved that way with him. He WAS horrible, but so was she. Her lecturing and yelling every time she sees him has gone on long enough. She does not have any sympathy or respect from me. If he was that bad, she should have left. That's on her. I HATED that "the experts" let Michelle get away with lying as much as David did. We KNOW she didn't care about him - we heard her tell him! Madison is not nearly as into David as he is into her. And, although I read upthread that she is intelligent, I haven't seen any evidence of that and just see nervous laughing and thinking she is beautiful. The "date" was cringy. She will take David for as much as she can and then go back into partying the night away. I thought Karla looked amazing (and she knew it), but her statements at the D Day discussion were the most normal and non-flighty as I have ever heard her speak. It was still good that they split. He is not ready to commit to a relationship right now. He just wants to work and play. Period. Just don't let him sing again, please. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593360

I can understand he’s embarrassed but his anger seems way over the top. Madison never gave him any reason to hope, and I don’t understand why he put up with her being out every night without him. What do you mean red flags? If she was a guy you'd say he can't keep his zipper up. Wasn't her connecting with David a red flag? I think his anger was about even keel for the situation. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593363

Quote At first I thought she was dressed for Halloween with the dark purple lipstick and green and orange skirt with her skintight top, I wondered if it was one of those lipsticks that you put on, let it dry, then peel it off to reveal a completely different color underneath... only she forgot the step where you peel off the blue/purple color... 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593450

Fortunately for her, she looks a little better since she's sitting beside a guy as unlikable as David. I disagree - I find it really hard to take her side the minute she opens her mouth! And she gave herself away at the party - she said she didn't like them there because "it seems like they're winning". If the "experts" knew or cared anything at all about what had happened this season they would have pointed out to her that she never wanted anything to do with David anyway.

He needs to stay home until he learns how to behave like a human. In his hat and glasses tonight he reminded me of Fat Albert's friend who had the eyeholes poked in his hat 😂 I have always liked Karla better than Juan, so I was glad she turned him down. They are a nice looking couple, but she needs to keep her nips under wraps. Did anyone notice on their date that David said something about it being great to be out golfing with a beautiful woman? Madison said, "I agree" 😄 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593519

I think Michelle is the nicer looking one but she was quite sour from the get go so she wasn’t likable. I don’t think she would have liked Allen as a husband had they been matched. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593621

I personally find Madison to be the least attractive woman on the cast, but this isn't the first time a man on here said Madison is hotter than Michelle. 12 hours ago, Retired at last said: No one has mentioned Pia's attire and make-up.

Decision day was filmed around Halloween, according to Madison's friend who claims her drag queen makeup was part of a costume lol. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593669
Madding crowd 3 hours ago Share 3 hours ago The experts never bring up the things I would ask such as how could Michelle say she was trying when she slept in a different room or apartment every night, put down her husband at every opportunity and only spent time with him when she wanted to accuse him of something. I don’t like him either but he was questioned by the experts and she wasn’t. I would ask Madison why she complained about Allen’s teeth and clothes but doesn’t do the same with David. I would ask Juan how he expects to be married when he said he doesn’t do hugs and kisses. Saying you want to take it slow is one thing, saying you don’t do physical affection would make it very hard to match you. I know he is a model and he clearly went on here for exposure. He either has someone in the wings, is not interested in women or he truly expects to get married without kissing or hugging his spouse which seems crazy to me. I would bring up to Camille that she asked for husband material and made it clear that she didn’t want the swaggy guys who let her down in the past, except she still does. I don’t have any real questions for Emem and Ikechi because I always felt the show was hiding something about them and I don’t think we will ever find out what it is. 3 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593798
Retired at last 1 hour ago Share 1 hour ago Does anyone know how many more shows we have? I know that at the last AP, Keisha said they would be back in 3 weeks, so I think they are back next week? She did say it would be after D Day. I am just mostly curious about the 90-day reunion. I wish they would have done a REAL reunion since the show was filmed so long ago. I hope we get true updates. Why? I have no idea! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152021-s18e17-a-match-made-in-scandal/page/2/#findComment-8593926
