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.

I feel really bad for Jon. All the elements of success were there for them and it’s like it was on the brink of working out at all times. Plus he really wanted it to. That has to be exhausting and very sad.
I am not a Molly fan. At all.

I forgot to mention earlier... I have NO idea how Jackie can stay with him after watching the last episode. He is such a loser! I cannot believe he told the guys that he would have no sad feelings at all if he walked away from the marriage at that moment. Yet, he decided to stay married? He literally just said he had NO feelings for her.

I'm so late to this post. I was kind of shocked and pissed that Jaclyn stayed with Ryan. They almost set it up having him go first. I can't lie, I spent too much time googling if they've broken up but I can't find anything. It's further complicated that there was a different Jacklyn and Ryan couple. The reunion should be interesting.

Molly also really doesn't take any responsibility, and yes Jon is screwed homeless and jobless. Kinda sad that they seem to have chemistry when the pressures off, but he's really better off.

I’m rewatching the “Decision Day” episode…Ryan repeatedly, during this episode and others, talks over Jaclyn. It is an awful habit. And when he talked about “taking the loss”, advice from Pastor Cal, it is clear that Jaclyn is peeved. Perhaps she thought he’d started listening more/better, but instead she sees he’s just “giving in” because he was counseled to. I really hope she comes to realize that she deserves better, much better.

And Molly being bent out of shape that John couldn’t see a silver lining. Ummm, that’s okay. He was all in. He lost his job, gave up his apartment and had to live with a woman-child who repeatedly reminded him that he wasn’t enough for her.

I am really looking forward to the reunion show. I want to see how Molly reacts to Shauniece saying that she feels that Molly didn’t give it her all.

[litskispeciality]

During the decision they made a comment about Ryan letting Jackie talk and he talked OVER her. I really thought she woudl say no at that point because we was pissed. I'm really starting to wonder if we'll see a scandal someday that they pay the couples to stay together for a certain amount of time since no one works out. I know I keep saying that but why else would Jackie and Ryan stay together?

I missed the timeline with Shawniece and Jepthe's baby, apparently she "annouces" during the reunion, which would haven't been that far out from the end of the show right? Although I guess they got married in August so either way it's a quick timeline.

[marie]

Anyone watch the reunion? I am so annoyed that it was filmed a WEEK later. What the heck can happen in a week to reflect on? lol

I would be rich if I had a dollar for every time Molly said she was not attracted to Jon, or she was waiting to feel the physical connection, or everything was great except not finding him attractive, etc... I think we would all take it differently if a guy kept telling a girl she was unattractive. She is over the top with that reason and at this point I feel like it is just mean. There are so many better ways to say it, like perhaps they were missing the "spark". I just feel like every time she says it she is putting him down. Anyway, I am glad that they can both move on and I am sure they are happy to be done with this too.

I am pretty sure Jaclyn already does not like Ryan after seeing the reunion show. I feel like she was giving him subtle dirty looks the whole time.

I cannot imagine going through this world wind experience and then adding a baby to the mix, but I hope Shawniece and Jephte make it work!

During the reunion show, (which they said was only 1 week after the decision show!) the blond therapist lady said something to Shawniece about them having a big announcement..... but then they never announced anything.
There was an add on piece at the END of the show, that said "2 months later" and showed Shawniece telling Jephte that she was pregnant.
I'm confused with the whole timeline.... when was the reunion show really taped?
Married in August, decision day 8 weeks later in October, reunion show Oct/Nov, then "2 months later" would be Dec/Jan?

[fernweh]

I haven’t watched the reunion yet but 1 week after decision day?! What is going to happen in that time? I thought it was like 6 months later.

I think they were referring to the tattoos. 

I like Dr. Jessica and think she was a good addition to the show. I thought the therapists were much more hands-on this season, trying to help the couples connect and work through their issues. I also think it was a good idea to have the men and the women meet up with each other throughout the season; it seems like that would have been a good support system. I was hopeful that these changes would make for stronger relationships and maybe all of them would stay together. 

I was surprised to by Shawniece's reaction to her pregnancy. I thought she would be super excited. I'm guessing maybe she was nervous about Jephte's response. Or, of course, the whole thing was staged.

Thanks- That makes sense....I didn't even think of that! Haha

I bet Ryan and Jacklyn will divorce within a few months, but Shawniece and Jephte succeed.

I think if this gets renewed for another season they're going to have to add another change. I liked this season how the couples met several times, honeymooned together, and the men and women each had nights they hung out together. There needs to be a twist to the selection process though like a designated BFF or family member gets to make a vote or weigh in on the top contenders selected by the experts. This whole "experts pick my spouse" is obviously not a successful match-making process, only 5 out of 18 couples are married.

I agree. Also, is there a vetting process? A person can say, "I am totally open to this, I want to get married, etc", but then you find out they are shy, slow to open up to new people, not good at adjusting their life for their S/O. These people, while great from an entertainment perspective, is terrible as a potential spouse in this scenario.

[litskispeciality]

I saw on the unfiltered before decisions that the experts are finally trying to recruit an "older" pool of candidates, ideally closer to or older than 30. While I can't blame adults for not doing the process we've all agreed a more mature candidate would stand a better chance.

I haven't seen the reunion yet but a week is way too short. I wonder where they film, maybe they figured it was easier to get them in town right after filming, but that's never been an issue in the past? I don't get it.

This makes so much more sense now!  I also thought it was that she was pregnant but she then she never said it.

Someone on another message board linked to Jacklyns LinkedIn page and she was in Arizona, so hopefully she’s done.

I miss the far superior 90 day fiancé. When is that show coming back?
