I will play...  Worst kept secret- Mia filing from divorce from Tristan. Secret that was a plain as the nose on your face- Dave and Amber are no longer together. BIG Secret- Danielle is pregnant.

Not really looking forward to this one --but it is what it is.

I’m just riding it out until the end. This is only my second season and it may be my last. These people suck 

[Northerner]

I'm glad the reunion is 3 more later this season unlike last ..     but yeah Tristan and Mia we know are done with...Bobby and Danielle still together....likely expecting...and on the new show that will debut it oct 30, though I suspect due to timing not a large part of the show.   

 

Dave and Amber ??   Curious to see.

[Straycat80]

The ominous sounding background music is not helping here. The Mia and Tristan break up trigger was an ex-girlfriend video on Facebook. Ok. 

[gonecrackers]

It's always a 'he said/she said' with these two, but Mia has demonstrated she's a pathological liar.

[Neurochick]

Unstable woman.  Ouch.

[gonecrackers]

Stupid "experts".

[Crazy Bird Lady]

Mia walks in on Tristan who's immersed in his phone, watching a video of a woman in a bikini.

Mia: Who's that you're looking at?? I'm supposed to be the only woman in your life now!

Tristan: Yeah, it's no big deal though, just something from my 'ex. You need to learn not to get all crazy!

Mia: You were watching a video of your 'ex in a bikini. 

Tristan: Just checking my social media. All the ladies love me, I get stuff from women all the time. You need to stop being so insecure, Mia. I can't believe you're causing another fight! 

Mia: You didn't have to open that video. [Hangs head, leans toward Tristan's armpit]

Tristan: That's it!! I'm done. (Stomps out of the room dramatically.)

Mia (mutters to self): Doing what you always do. [She begins packing up her stuff.] 

[15 minutes later] Tristan: So, Mia left me again (licks lips)... I got back and she was gone! She packed her bags and left!  ...I can't believe she did me like that!

Cal is full of shit, but what else is new with these "experts"

From what I heard, Cal didn’t want Tristan on the show because he’s colorist.

I was referring to his comments to Amber... 

I feel her leaving was a good thing, but she should've discussed it with Dave first.

Ugh. I had to start watching late. Thank heaven for DVRs. 

 Shut up pastor Cal. You’re a moron.

[Kareem]

Sounds as if Amber is realizing that her insecurities are consuming her life.  

[ECM1231]

Dave will never forgive Amber for dating that gym acquaintance of his. I like Amber as a brunette but she needs some highlights.

[JAndy]

Amber looks so pissed off.

She's a glutton for punishment; he's doing them both a favor.

Not surprised about Amber and Dave. I knew her insecurities would do them in. They are not living together, she wants to work it out, he does not. Ouch!

That's the truth Dave should have told after 8 weeks. But he wanted it to be Amber who "looks bad" to the experts and the public. 

A big win/win for Dave, I guess.

[gonecrackers]

Toned down eyebrows - much better. She could learn from the makeup artists there.

[PupCal]

Honestly, Bobby deserves better.

Who knows if it was just the shows editing that made Danielle look like that. He seems to love her and be happy. 

[Straycat80]

The ‘experts’ seem soooo relieved that at least  one couple have stayed married.   You could see the collective sigh of relief when Danielle and Bobby said they were still married. 

[gonecrackers]

Mia & Tristan need separate couches.

[Straycat80]

I’d like to know what Dave’s friend told him about Amber. Was she the gym ho or something like that? 

[ECM1231]

Yep, I said it above and Amber confirmed that Dave never really got over her dating gym guy and the marriage was doomed from the start. Amber, I am rooting for you, insecurities and all. I hope you meet someone who gives you the warm and fuzzies and is not a judgmental, cold prick like Dave.

Me too. I've said from the beginning gym guy set Dave off. As he said himself he would've backed out had he known.

Maybe his own insecurities got in the way.

What does this mean?  What’s better?  

Seems like Danielle is fine for Bobby.

Dave just won't own it.

Congrats, Dave, for not being manipulated by this group.

At least he didn’t succumb to counseling when he knew it was over.

Is it? He still comes across as a douche. 

[PityFree]

 I’m pretty sure shocked that Dave and Tristan would be willing to do “the experiment” again.

Mia says she owns it. Then goes elsewhere and denies it.  

If the big news is that Danielle is pregnant,  Amber may become an even bigger wreck.

Such a douche. I can’t imagine anyone seeing this show and wanting to date him. 

[gonecrackers]

I feel badly for Amber; I like her & wish her well.

I think Tristan has been punished enough.

Dave & Mia can both go away.

[Straycat80]

Congratulations to Danielle and Bobby on the baby and now you can be on another TV show. 

[PupCal]

Daaaaamn Amber's hella jealous.

[gonecrackers]

I wish Danielle wouldn't start so many sentences with "I mean..."

Me too, because I just don't think it's a big deal. Like Pepper says, we're adults. We all have a past. They're over 35, they're not virgins, and it's not odd that their social circles might overlap. And if the gym guy DID talk trash about Amber, that says more about him than about Amber and more about Dave for believing it and letting it color his relationship with Amber. They're over 35, they're not in high school. Amber dating people before Dave doesn't make her a "ho."

They're just better off apart. I do commend Dave for not being sucked into counseling; it's a waste of their time. Amber deserves someone who won't judge her. I wasn't surprised when she said she wouldn't do this again.

They got easy sex- especially Dave.

[ChiCricket]

Can someone please tell me the name of the woman hosting this?  It's driving me nuts that I can't place where I've seen her before. TYIA

Oh! Samantha Harris from Dancing With The Stars! Duh

Amber and Dave both seemed like they didn’t give a shit and were annoyed. Tristan and Mia at least seemed happy for Bobby & Danielle. 

[Northerner]

That @MAFSFan person on Twitter and Instagram was right again.   She had about 2 to 3 weeks ago Danielle pregnant and the third couple.

 I really hate that this show has started to rely on long, dramatic, edited pauses for “excitement” and “drama.”

I turned off the show before the pregnancy reveal (I was spoiled; People.com spoiled that and also spoiled Mia and Tristan weeks ago) but it wouldn't surprise me if these people didn't stay in touch at all. With the Boston ones there did seem to be some fondness, particularly among the women and between Jephte and Jon (neither of them liked Ryan, you could tell), but with these their interactions felt much more forced. And they didn't get a lot of time with Mia because she was always limited by her legal troubles or by fighting. I doubt Danielle will be inviting them to her baby shower.

[Kareem]

What if what Dave heard about Amber's relationship with gym guy had less to do with sex and the 'everyone having a past' theory Pepper was promoting but rather something else, such as stalking or incessant biological clock babbling or any number of other things. Just a thought.  

[crgirl412]

Are we watching and "talking about" Honeymoon Island??

I think it was not good talk about her from the mutual friend.  I wonder why they didn't show him upset about it more?

DVR'ing but not sure I'm in yet.

If it's anything like Second Chances or Spouse House they'll hopefully give out free STD testing for a year after it's over.
