OMG—Molly is taking ***no*** responsibility for why they are divorcing. Sure, it’s embarrassing to admit, but come on!!!!! She makes me want to scream!!!!!
John is not blameless as he threw some low blows during past arguments, but Molly, IMO, shoulders a much greater share of the blame.
Ryan? He’s an asshole. He is emotionally stunted.
I think Shauniece and Jephte have a real chance at a good marriage.
ETA: I’m only half-way through the episode, but had to vent my frustration with Molly.

I completely agree Molly is acting like John is being a baby. Yes it's hard and I'm sure he had faults, but he told her 3 weeks ago to get out of it if she's not attracted and not into it. She's just acting like an entitled jerk like "what did I do wrong"? She rubbed me the wrong way too still saying she just needs the physical to kick in and they could stay married. At this point if it's not there let the guy go. Ugh poor John, his mom looks so crushed but I'm sure she doesn't know everything.
What is wrong with Ryan? Last week he wanted to be with Jaclyn, then he didn't want to be with her this week but then gets the necklace made? I'm trying to see why Jaclyn is holding on so tight but dude RUN. It's scary that Ryan says he knows the signs of an unhealthy relationship and he sees that this relationship is unhealthy when HE'S the one making it that way. He almost seemed to turn during the conversation with the guys too, it was like as soon as someone else says they're not sure now he's not sure. Also he says "it's so hard to know who you're going to spend the rest of your life with", well yes in real life but you signed up TO GET MARRIED, so you kind of said the experts will find me the one for the rest of my life right? Ugh I hope they get a divorce next week.
I can't wait for the reunion to hear how Shawniece and Jepthe are doing with the cameras off. I liked on unfiltered when they asked Jepthe if he was ready for marriage, because in a lot of ways he's not.
Ryan sucks, I can’t believe Jaclyn actually likes him.
Molly is irritating, she was pissed that he video taped their fight but she hasn’t acknowledged her own behavior in that fight once! I can’t figure out what her deal is.
Jephte and Shawniece seem like they could really be happy. The other two should split up now but I think R&J will stick it out for a while.
I just don’t trust Ryan, I feel like he’s trying to make Jaclyn nervous so he feels like he has the power or he’s afraid of being rejected so he’s acting out. I don’t know, he’s a weasel.

Peachy I agree about Ryan having the power. I could see him being afraid of being rejected on national tv since he's "such a catch" (in his own mind) that he'd either scare her into sticking with it so he can dump her, or get her to say no so it's her fault. He must finally see he's going to turn off even more women in the future.
I wonder why Jepthe and Shawnice got a dog with two weeks left? Do they realize it's a living thing and someone has to take care of it when the show ends?
I kinda wonder why the couple's drive to decision day together? What if someone says no, does the other take an Uber back? I can't remember from previous seasons.

I’m hoping that Jephte showed his hand by getting the dog. It says to me that he’s in for the long haul. And I think Shauniece feels the same way. Though, I wish people would not give animals as unexpected gifts. That animal deserves a commitment, too. It did not sign up to be part of the MAFS experiment!
Ryan has the emotional maturity of a 17 year old boy. He has not had a long term girlfriend as an adult. He was, IMO, a poor selection for the show. Jackie deserves much better than a guy who is so totally swayed by the experiences of another couple. I think Ryan thought that since he and Jackie were so comfortable together at first that she’d not have any wants or needs that would inconvenience his bachelor lifestyle. Jackie needs to RUN. Though, if they stayed together, I bet a million fake dollars that watching the show will make her want a divorce.
Molly…I’m glad viewers see what happened. She may not have told her family and friends what really happened, but they know now. I hope they are both able to move on and find happiness.

Well, he does look like the Ice Age weasel, so maybe that’s why?
Honestly, both Jepthe and Ryan are super immature. The reason why Jepthe and Shawnice aren’t crashing and burning is purely because Shawnice is so willing to accommodate Jephte’s bullshit. She seems pretty easygoing, and I hope they work out. I guess. She seems to really want to be married to him for some reason.
Ryan. I think his main problem is just that he’s dumb as fuck. Jackie would be making a huge mistake hitching her wagon to that dummy.
Again, make this show with people in their 30s and 40s. No offense, but 20 year olds are silly. lol
For some reason, I have a feeling that something will happen and Molly and Jon will decide to stay together on decision day.
I can't stand Ryan. Everything about him annoys me
I could see that just because she wants to make herself look better
The preview for tomorrow's episode kind of leads you in this direction, like the experts are encouraging this. I seriously wonder if they've started to give bonuses for certain couples to "stay married" for x amount of time so the show can keep going. If every season everyone gets a divorce it might get cancelled. I just have a hard time believing couples like Danielle and Cody really wanted to stay married last season for "as long as they did".

jeaniebueller, when talking to her family, as well as Jackie and Shauniece, and Dr. Jessica, she made it sound as though the argument they in Florida was unpleasant but that their split was because he wanted more from her and she was uncomfortable with that. She was very evasive on the details.
John’s side of the story was quite different…and included a recorded portion of their argument. They were out, in Florida, at a club, and they were dancing together (rather closely, I believe John said). Then she went to the bar and some guy was flirting with her. Instead of shutting it down, apparently, from John’s perspective, she seemed to invite the flirtation. So, they got into a fight and John started recording it on his phone. He said she’d turned on him before, when the cameras weren’t there, so he wanted proof. She was mocking him and telling him that he was disgusting.
This all came to light during a meeting with Dr. Jessica. She called Molly out for lying by omission about how she treated John and basically told them to take time to themselves because this relationship was toxic. It seemed to me that Dr. Jessica was trying to be neutral, but was struggling because of what she heard on the recording.
I found it interesting that Molly’s side of the story was so sanitized compared to John’s. I understand that she likely doesn’t see what she’s doing as “that bad” or she’s embarrassed. But come on!!!! This is MAFS! It’s going to come out!!!! I am so curious to see how Molly tries to defend or explain away her actions. John has not been above reproach the entire time, but if she’s trash talking him when the cameras are gone, I can understand the time or two where he lost his cool.
She may be pretty, but she is a shallow and petty person. She signed up for a reality show. Deal with it.

He also said that she just started to ignore him when they were at the bar and that this is not the first time she has done something like this.

I assume they're still together since she's pregnant, but yeah weird they didn't wait. I assume they worked with People instead of this leaking. 2 hour season finale tonight, is it worth making predictions this late? I guess I'll say Jaclyn and Ryan "stay" married, but are divorced by the finale. I think they'll convince Molly and Jon to "stay" married. Obviously Shawniece and Jepthe must stay married or get back together, but I'm going with they both stay married.

I kinda hate how they edit the show. For one there is always too many flashbacks and previews so you don’t see much new content each episode.
Ughhhh Ryan is the actual worst. Jackie sees that he lies and manipulated her but then hopes it will just work out? No girl. Get out!! I want to shake her, but I think she’s a smart and cute girl and she’ll come around and find someone amazing.

They must coach them all so much before these sites downs! They are all saying that they are nervous because they don't know what the other person is going to decide? Please... Like you wouldn't talk that through a bit before hand? Also, they all start off their reply like they are going to say no and choose divorce.
I felt really bad for John. Molly acted all offended that he could not list the positives of the past 8 weeks, then he listed out everything he lost. He is unemployed and homeless for crying outload!
I am excited for the reunion. It seems like Jackie and Ryan are still together for it? I certainly hope not.
Shawneice and Jephte!! They are super cute, but I can't believe that they are having a baby!

I do feel bad about how things turned out for Jon and ot sucks that he lost his job over it. However I think he is being unrealistic about it. Had he never watched the show prior? I guess you always think you are the expectation or you wouldn’t do it but history tells us it’s probably not going to work. He just seemed so thrown off like he never expected that to be a possibility.
