MAFS and other reality tv chatter

[Jalapeñomel]

I’m just sitting down to watch MAFS from this week, but I did watch Teen Mom 2. I don’t keep up with the gossip, so is this it for Jenelle and David? How many 911 calls does it take?

[NomadicMama]

I think Jenelle tried to spin the 911 call that they’d been drinking and it’s not a big deal…

Did you catch her reaction to the producer who received text messages from David about him being angry that Ensley was being filmed at the pumpkin patch? Jenelle tried to play it off that David was just messing around, but her delivery was so off, you could tell she was just trying to normalize the chaos that is her life. Meanwhile Barb is sitting next to her acting as if everything is peachy. She’s just relieved that Jenelle is talking to her again. David is scary and unbalanced.

Leah’s new boyfriend seems nice and supportive. I’m glad that Leah has gotten in touch with an advocate to help them deal with the school district.

Yes, she is like the typical partner in a domestic violence situation.  It's very sad. 

The baby talk with Chelsea and Cole is soooo annoying. Stop it, talk like grown ups.

Did we talk about MAFS this week?

I am glad that they talked to Luke about his comments to katie.

AJ seems to have a fairly short fuse. i don't understand reacting the way he does given the situations. i don't know if i have much faith in them lasting.

Same. I'm not sure if any of them are going to last. They all seem to have pretty significant issues.

AJ creeps me right out. In addition to his temper flares over stupid shit, his going ON AND ON about eating dinner with her. EVERY NIGHT and his stupid sense of humor, I have a strong feeling that a yeAr from now, she’s going to be like “Ew. I actually fucked that guy and the whole world knows it.”

As always a week behind. TM2, why is Andrew back,in the picture? I don't know why I'm so surprised he went to college, but I don't believe he's sober. These poor kids all having different dads, although I'm glad Devon is finally stepping up.

As always Kail is being a baby about Javis baby mama, just meet her. And man he moves quick, or did he cheat on Brianna?

I feel like a lot of the MAFS couples maybe weren’t so honest in communicating their “type” during the screening process. Although it’s entirely possible it’s the producers hooking them up with so-so matches for entertainment purposes.

If fitness is THAT important to Kristine then she must not have been very clear about that because they married her to someone who clearly doesn’t GAF.

I don’t get Luke saying he “doesn’t have a type” when he clearly isn’t attracted to Kate. They showed footage of him describing his last relationships and it was basically a multicultural parade, but he’s repulsed and dead inside after kissing Kate? I don’t buy it.

AJ needs to cut this shit out. His erratic mood swings are a huge turnoff. Does he not realize he hit the jackpot with Stephanie? She’s nice, normal, calm and very beautiful. His goofy ass was so lucky he was matched with her (or anyone AT ALL). He annoys me. Deeply.

I actually think Keith and Kristen are a perfect match. I see them having a long lasting marriage.

I like Will A LOT. I hope his wife chills a bit. I want them to work but am not sure it will.

Luke. Ugh. I wish they would have filmed him explaining why he said what he said about Kate. She’s a saint for continuing the process. That kind of feedback would crush me. I’ll say this....I can’t stand to hear her talk. It’s like her jaw doesn’t open and she mumbles in a monotone way.

the upcoming party looks like a nightmare, especially if you are more of an introvert. i feel for her.

i don't think most people are really honest, brutally honest when doing this show. it's like they want to look great to the professionals and be on the show. they are not being honest about very important issues. saying you are a proud, independent woman and then expect the man to play a very traditional role in the marriage is confusing.

Yes. I’m very glad that the pastor pointed that she very well could make more money and it isn’t right to expect him to carry the bills and be strapped financially just because he is the man and also that just because that’s what worked for her parents doesn’t mean that’s how they have to do it as well.

Going further down the TM2 rabbit hole...now Janelle is saying (brainwashed by David) that MTV ussd thr 911 call for ratings...omg. Its so hard you want to feel bad, but this has been goijg on for years now. They need to drop her.

[Jalapeñomel]

Luke is a POS. I agree that people are not honest in their interviewing process, hoping that they get picked and it won’t matter in the long run. Sort of like the Bf who told you that he loved ballroom dancing, but once you started dating refused to ballroom dance (ok that’s a terrible analogy).


Kail from TM2 is a needy, jealous ex for sure. She wants to do whatever she wants, but she doesn’t want her exes to move on.

This is so sad. Those poor babies.

Going back to MAFS again, do they not do psychological exams and such? I know you can present yourself in a better light, but this isn't the first season that we've seen anger issues. Remember the one where the lady got a restraining order after? Was that a NY season? I thought I read a while back the issue is (was) that they would vet the women but not the men.

I believe they do psychological testing, and they said on the last episode they do a thorough background and credit check.
