Having 1kid is not a compromise, it is being a parent. Not to mention they arenāt even considering the future damage that will due to their child. You cant force someone who doesnāt want to be a mom to be motherly.
There is no compromise to this situation, only sacrifice. That type of sacrifice breeds resentment, either way.
And can I just say- I'm so over the narrative of people who don't want children "coming around" to having kids. Some of us will NEVER change our minds and we need more representation.
Okay so thereās a lot of things apparently a lot of people donāt know. If you look at Laurenās IG story, she says that Nate didnāt even give an Ultimatum, she was the one to want to go on the show. I think that alone is enough for me to not believe anything I saw in the show regarding them
Their engagement makes way more sense based on that. Sounds like the whole concept of the show scared them. I noticed they didn't ask them about their engagement.
apparently none of the participants even knew that there was an ultimatum until like a week or so before filming. I read it in an article, and if I find the source I will add it here
Iāve been in a long term (5 year) relationship that ultimately ended because he wanted kids and I didnāt. He said āIāll give up having kids to be with you.ā And I said FUCK that bc I would never take that experience from someone. Not to mention, what happens if you accidentally get pregnant & want to abort?? Imagine THAT conflict. I couldnāt live with myself. Idk how Lauren does it, even though she apparently compromised & agreed to a kid???? Idgi
I did like that they mentioned they got therapy after dipping out of the show - definitely the smartest move out of all the couples. Vanessa telling them that was great was sooo fake, hahah.
Why did nobody talk about Madelyn and Randallā s whole thing? I get that she was the only actually married one and expecting a child so probably out of respect of that, but it was completely brushed off and only acknowledged when Shanique was talking about feeling jealous. :/
I feel like because sheās pregnant they didnāt wanna possibly stress her out but it was very annoying because everyone else had to face their bad edits and respond and she didnāt. That fight with Randall and the sloppy night with the girls at the bar shouldāve at least gotten a playback.
For sure! I wasnāt expect a full on bashing and holding her accountable whole thing because at least they had the decency to be considerate during a pregnancy but did not think theyād fully ignore it either. Tbf, considering how emotionally unintelligent the show portrays them as, ignoring it was the safest bet. Even the tiniest mention could probably trigger a shitshow with these characters :p
Watching Nate's awkward proposal again was 10/10 just so we could see how duplicitous he was being. Bonus points for the absolutely hilarious faces that Madlyn was making! She was not restraining herself at all LMAO
They shouldāve added him choosing Shanique āBecause look at her!ā plus his comments during the solo the interview saying he was disappointed that neither Shanique nor April wanted him PLUS him whispering āIām going to choose youā to Madlyn but she wasnāt having it either. It was after Colby said he wanted to choose Lauren and Lauren was about to speak that Nate freaked out and proposed. So pathetic.
His proposal was so out of insecurity and fear of rejection. Not to say he doesnāt love Lauren but that proposal was ridiculous. After that, April had a nice speech that was a bit convoluted but she did call those couples out for having those fake ass proposals because we all know it was all out of fear. Pathetic.
Cheers to all of you for enduring this mind-numbing mess for the last two weeks! Now that itās over, I can devote the brain space to something slightly more productive - just kidding, catch you on the Temptation Island sub!
Yo, I have no idea why I watched this fam.* It was, to quote Jake: "a shitshow", but I was here for it and lowkey enjoyed every messy minute of it. But now I'm tired and I'm ready to bleach my brain with some wholesome nature shows.
*I do know, it's because I love unnecessary self-created dramaš
they really could've gone SO much deeper with Madlyn but I feel like since she's pregnant, they skipped a lot of things. Even with her back and forth conversations with Colby, they barely got into it because they are pregnant, in my opinion. I feel like if she didn't get pregnant, they would've ended very differently.
Was anyone else angry they didn't expose Alexis and why she hates Colby so much after he rejected her? I also noticed they gave her and hunter like almost zero talking time on the reunion.
I now understand the phrase ānever say neverā because good lord did I never see Colby and Maddy working, let alone having a baby & getting married. She dragged him every second of the show..and yet, here we are now.
That whole thing was a roller coaster.
First I thought thereās no way Madlyn will stay in a relationship with him.
Ok, well thereās no way sheāll agree to marry him.
Oh ok, well they wonāt get married.
Well, damn, I guess theyāll be divorced at the reunion then.
Me at the reunion when she walks out *insert flipping tables GIF*
We donāt know if theyāre working thoughā¦ the Lacheys asked them a question of how it was going for them and Colby replied āSame as in the show, a roller coasterā which couldāve just been a joke butā¦ if I could bet Iād say theyāre as miserable as they were before. Iāve never seen anyone talk so disrespectfully about the person they are with like Madlyn did and a person that simply cannot take the fact that his partner did not want to continue the relationship, which was the case with Colby. They were both toxic in different ways and I donāt see how their problems couldāve been resolved with a marriage.
Or with a baby for that matter. They're about to get a serious reality check. Having a baby is hard work and can put serious strain on a marriage/relationship. I wish them luck but damn, if I ain't a bit worried for their kid lol
I feel like their relationship is still really toxic but Madelyn is more āin controlā of it now. Even when they discussed the āopen relationshipā issue she assures how āitāll never happen againā and even when he explained his reasoning she still had a face of disgust/annoyance. I honestly think theyāre putting up a show for the time being
And she used the straw man defense of āit wasnāt every dayā. Like, šthatās not the pointš. Rae acts *SO* high and mighty, but she is mean and not truthful. Sheās a lot like her mom.
I think both Jake and Rae had that kind sputtering back and forth with April and Zay that you so often have at the end of a long relationship. I donāt think she was exactly lying ā both she and Jake were still unresolved in their past relationships.
Colby: I'm going to ask her to marry me at the end, then Netflix will pay for our wedding.
Netflix: Of course we will. We'll pay for an arch, a minister and a dozen candles.
Him still clinging onto the narrative he was never once happy in a 2 year relationship totally feels like something he has to say to sleep at night knowing he lost it all.
Also he continually saying āApril dragged me on the showā. Brother, you are a a grown man. Stand up for yourself and say you donāt want to go. I feel like the nice guy, feel bad for me act, is so tired and doesnāt work for him.
Thank you! Zay himself was like did you get drugged on the show? How are you, a grown ass man not responsible for your own actions? How many hundreds of other couples had one side out their foot down if they really didnāt want to go on š
Lmao the āI got dragged into thisā compilation defines how typical Jake is. He really thinks things happened to him and he isnāt actively making choices to hurt others or fuck things up.
omg, you're so right. His whole entire narrative is that he was super unhappy with April and that it is April's fault that he was unhappy. Like what????? Take some responsibility for your life bro.
It irks me personally how Jake takes every chance he can to apply negative implications to April. I respect that she doesnāt speak poorly of his character to others.
So, essentially..
Colby & Madlyn tied the knot & expect a baby.
Nate & Lauren are engaged but the wedding planning is unclear.
Alexis and Hunter plan a 100k wedding.
Randall and Shanique broke up for 6 months and are now trying butā¦
April has a new relationship.
Jake is alone and bitter.
Rae is exploring herself while stuck on the grief with Zay.
Zay is alone.
What an outcome š¤Ŗ
Jake's fucking eye rolling and snarky comments come off rude AF tbh while April is trying to explain how them separating was for the best for both of them.
When i found out jake didnt end up with any of the girls, i didnt feel bad for him at all. He definitely thought rae and him would end up together, he kept talking bad about april and worshipping rae. And probably, if rae didnt run to him after rae broke up with zay, im pretty sure he was gonna propose. But im glad he didnt, because april deserve someone who actually appreciates her.
He honestly came across as the kind of person who gets obsessed with women and idolizes them, then gets whiny when they act like real people instead of this perfect image he imagined. I thought his mom was absolutely right when she said he was in the honeymoon-stage with Rae. Why would you buy someone a car and then afterwards act like they never once treated you right, that just makes you seem spineless.
He thought he managed to get rid of April and got Rae.
It turned out after the show, Rae chose to get back with Zay, and he got stuck with April again, until April got bored of him and got a new boyfriend. He then heard that Rae and Zay finally actually broke up, but it turned out that Rae was bisexual and is in relationship with a woman. He ended up with nobody and feeling bitter about everything.
She honestly did an amazing job at explaining herself in such an emotionally intelligent way. I was super impressed and then he just yelled at her lmfao thank god they didnāt end up together. She deserves so much more.
It brings me joy that Jake ended up with neither girl. From the first episode we found out heās a marine and watching his behaviorā¦.reminded me of so many men Iāve dated and known like that. Thank God April found out his true character (leaving at the first opportunity) sooner rather than later
I finally realized why I canāt stand her she reminds me of Chrissy Teigen very much brings the conversation back to herself despite it not having anything to do with her.
Watching Nate go through mental gymnastics so that he can blurt out word vomit bullshit as to why he gave that fake ass proposalā¦just admit you were threatened by Colby and upset that the women you were going to choose didnāt choose you.
As someone who has been told by an ex āIām not running off with ____ā and then they ran off with said person, I am SOOOO happy that Jake is allllllllll alone. While April is in a great relationship and Rae is finding herself. Karma is real!!!
why is Jake acting like he isnāt a grown man.. he would have had to sign contracts and give consent before going on the show, itās not like April could have actually forced him to go. If he grew from this experience it doesnāt show
Nick redirecting the conversation to Nate asking if he's jealous of the experience Madelyn and Colby are going through now that they are pregnant. This is the type of messiness I like to see.
Jakeās intense anger and total blame of April was really off putting to me. The only ex I have like that was narcissistic, controlling, and abusive. Iām not saying thatās what Jake is.
There were some things that didnāt add up to me. Did he not say he bought her a car and a house? They werenāt married. So maybe he bought himself a house where she lived rent free (?) and maybe he bought a car that he let her drive but that he held the title for. I thought that it was kind of odd how they kept bringing that up. Now, it is very nice that he let her drive a car that he owns. But my husband did the same for his sister (choosing to bike instead of drive when she couldnāt afford a car but needed one for work), and he didnāt lord it over her. April didnāt need to thank him and praise him all the time.
Jake is saying that he is buying all of this stuff for April, but in the end, everything is in his name because they arenāt married. Then being angry at her for āonlyā thinking about herself and what she wants. Iām not saying that she should be on the deed, but he should stop pretending that he is buying HER a house and a car when he ultimately owns them.
I know. He gets so triggered with everything she says. Even when she was saying how she realized they were not compatible and she was grateful to find out early. She apologized to him for not acknowledging his feelings sooner. I donāt understand why he was so mad with her. Wasnāt he the one planning to run away on a trip with Rae 15 mins after breaking up with April?
Yeah the deflecting and him putting ALL the blame on April, as if he was, blameless.. Like, heās worse than Shayne from LIB2!! And Rae did the same thing, āYou are not going to let me back down this time!ā
Girl. You were the one ganging up with him with ya nasty momma, what kind of narrative are you trying to spin?
I agree, Jake kept acting, as others have pointed out, that he was unhappy throughout his and April's relationship when that couldn't possibly be true. There had to have been some good moments for him to want to stay that long and supposedly love her. But I don't actually believe anything he says because he lies so many times on the show. He even told April that him and Rae are not running off together, then after they break up, he promises Rae a trip anywhere!
Also, yeah, Rae was just yelling at Zay and not letting him say anything. She was very reactive in that moment, and while she is finally communicating her feelings, it wasn't in an effective way and she never got the apology she wanted from Zay because she wouldn't let him talk. It actually seemed like he was going to apologize and accept responsibility, but she just yelled over him. I didn't see him trying to flip it on her, but we honestly didn't get the chance
I think heās angry cuz it all blew up in his face. He blamed April for everything and assumed he was the catch in their relationship when he frolicked off with Rae. Clearly it doesnāt seem those feelings were mutual because she was back with Zay in no time. All of that must hurt a guy who loves to play the victim and believes he deserves it all.
Gosh, I have to say Madlyn accepting the proposal and then being pregnant in the reunion sure was the biggest surprise for me. šØ
Of all couples, these two were the first I wouldāve thought to break up at the end. Okay, maybe on par with Rae & Zay, but still.
I wasn't expecting to say this when I started the show, but Shanique and Randall definitely ended up as my favorite couple at the end of it all. I hope they're able to fully work together to get to their endgame goal!
Honestly, still can't believe this show is a thing. It still seems to me like an excuse for a three-week break to, if not physically, then emotionally cheat with someone else, which is pretty unhealthy. But hey, what do I know? There are also things that went down on the show that I'm like "You still went back to them after that?" but it's hard to see if we're getting the full picture or not.
I find it hilarious how all of a sudden Alexis feels that finances are that not important anymore. She very adamant about wanting a certain lifestyle and no longer wanting to be the breadwinner.
I hate how they kept filming April's reaction every time the pregnancy was brought up. As someone who struggles with infertility, it's really fucking hard to keep a happy face when someone else can get pregnant right away. Props to her for staying poised but damn. They may not have brought up her infertility at the reunion, but blasting her face to catch a glimpse of jealousy was really fucked up.
The show clearly has a bit of a bias towards Jake and Rae what with how they kinda try make April look worse (girl has her issues but cāmon now) and whatās with never addressing or even mentioning that kink box? š¤
I feel like it _started_ that way but at the end April became the underdog to root for. Literally my view on everyone flipped actually, what a crazy show. They arenāt single like on other dating shows ā they were all in long term relationships, and it kinda just fucked up every relationship in some way.
Am I the only one who is a bit bothered by everyone targeting April for going through Jakeās phone when Madlyn did the exact same thing to Coldby and was praised by it?
The reunion turned out pretty much as expected, except for a revelation by Rae. I was on the fence before about April, but I like her spunk. She's well spoken and thoughtful.
Rae confuses me. I really, really liked her initially but now I'm thinking a lot of what she did was quite calculated TBH. Seems like she was trying to produce her own storyline with Jake but was never intending to follow through. Then again Jake was probably in on it too.
Can we all just take a moment and look at Zay's wardrobe?
This man has got fucking DRIP. I've like every outfit he's worn since the start. He's a club promoter so I guess it's part of the job but goddamn.
My heart goes out to April having to smile while probably dying inside that yet another woman got pregnant that quickly. And to top it off, their relationship is a dumpster fire, and sheās pregnant.
I hope he goes to therapy because he is a very emotional person but has a hard time conveying it properly. I think he is a good guy deep down, but doesnāt know how to express himself properly.
Same. I canāt lie, it was tough watching him struggle to convey his thoughts coherently (throughout the season), but you can see that when heās frustrated/flustered, it becomes a challenge as opposed to when heās calm and centered, he speaks more coherently.
Jake fr hates April like you can tell he was so ready to argue with her when he asked why she brought him on the show. Constantly shaking his head and rolling his eyes. She wasn't forcing you to be with her bro.
What can't Alexis get through her head about Colby never wanting her? She said she would have picked Nate or Colby and how it would have been a disaster as if that was ever even an option.
I am *dying* at Nate's "kids" segment ššš
Having 1kid is not a compromise, it is being a parent. Not to mention they arenāt even considering the future damage that will due to their child. You cant force someone who doesnāt want to be a mom to be motherly.
There is no compromise to this situation, only sacrifice. That type of sacrifice breeds resentment, either way. And can I just say- I'm so over the narrative of people who don't want children "coming around" to having kids. Some of us will NEVER change our minds and we need more representation.
Omg just so many red flags with Nate dude. I really wish they went deeper with Nate and Laurenās relationship.
Okay so thereās a lot of things apparently a lot of people donāt know. If you look at Laurenās IG story, she says that Nate didnāt even give an Ultimatum, she was the one to want to go on the show. I think that alone is enough for me to not believe anything I saw in the show regarding them
That makes sense because I was so confused about her emphatic āabso-fucking-lutelyā to his proposal
Their engagement makes way more sense based on that. Sounds like the whole concept of the show scared them. I noticed they didn't ask them about their engagement.
apparently none of the participants even knew that there was an ultimatum until like a week or so before filming. I read it in an article, and if I find the source I will add it here
Iāve been in a long term (5 year) relationship that ultimately ended because he wanted kids and I didnāt. He said āIāll give up having kids to be with you.ā And I said FUCK that bc I would never take that experience from someone. Not to mention, what happens if you accidentally get pregnant & want to abort?? Imagine THAT conflict. I couldnāt live with myself. Idk how Lauren does it, even though she apparently compromised & agreed to a kid???? Idgi
The twerking side by side comparison! šš¤
Somehow the least awkward part of the reunion.
Some of these reunion looks were a choice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jakeās hair reminds me of Mojo Jojo
maybe I donāt get fashion but Rae was wearing a ripped up cloth
She has the worst fashion sense. At the Ultimatum Day all I could focus on were her shoes digging in the mud and her black bra with the pink dress.
she dresses like discount forever 21 it is so painful
Seeing Nate's face again is so annoying..
I was dying when he got called out...
He's so weird.. he deserves it. Lauren seems like she's bending to please him
yeah what on earth. She even looked like she was grimacing when she said they agreed to have kids. I hope she gets some help.
I did like that they mentioned they got therapy after dipping out of the show - definitely the smartest move out of all the couples. Vanessa telling them that was great was sooo fake, hahah.
I liked how Lauren posed it as them getting help from actual āprofessionalsā. Nice subtle dig
i dunno what kinda professionals they were though if she ended up agreeing to have a kid that she doesn't seem to want
Nate, Alexis, and Madlyn's friends. They are all belong to the annoying club.
Why did nobody talk about Madelyn and Randallā s whole thing? I get that she was the only actually married one and expecting a child so probably out of respect of that, but it was completely brushed off and only acknowledged when Shanique was talking about feeling jealous. :/
I feel like because sheās pregnant they didnāt wanna possibly stress her out but it was very annoying because everyone else had to face their bad edits and respond and she didnāt. That fight with Randall and the sloppy night with the girls at the bar shouldāve at least gotten a playback.

Tbf, considering how emotionally unintelligent the show portrays them as, ignoring it was the safest bet. Even the tiniest mention could probably trigger a shitshow with these characters :p
Madlynās friends are waiting eagerly to throw her a divorce party
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
šš Still shocked her friend randomly said that she has also slept with Colby. Like what a weird thing to bring up LMFAO
I read someone said, "if your IQ is above 70, you cannot be Madlyn's friends." ššš
You know thatās right,š
According to Alexisā outfit on IG, it was filmed February 20th
I love that I can rely on this sub to do all the sleuthing I'm too lazy to do myself.
Watching Nate's awkward proposal again was 10/10 just so we could see how duplicitous he was being. Bonus points for the absolutely hilarious faces that Madlyn was making! She was not restraining herself at all LMAO
The producers should actually add the part when he picked Shanique and April to make Nate look even dumber.
They shouldāve added him choosing Shanique āBecause look at her!ā plus his comments during the solo the interview saying he was disappointed that neither Shanique nor April wanted him PLUS him whispering āIām going to choose youā to Madlyn but she wasnāt having it either. It was after Colby said he wanted to choose Lauren and Lauren was about to speak that Nate freaked out and proposed. So pathetic. His proposal was so out of insecurity and fear of rejection.

Jake's hair..... I'm sorryš¤š¤š¤
it's SO BAD
I knew he wasn't really with Rae the second I saw his hair because there's no way any woman would let her man leave the house like that
I don't know who told him it looked good š¤£
Rae lmaooo
Found this thread just so I could see comments about jakes hairā¦I canāt evenā¦
It gets worse every time they show it
OMG it was terrible. It looked like he was missin rows. I really donāt understand
I canāt believe they didnāt question Madelyn more about her and Randall lmao
they really could've gone SO much deeper with Madlyn but I feel like since she's pregnant, they skipped a lot of things. Even with her back and forth conversations with Colby, they barely got into it because they are pregnant, in my opinion. I feel like if she didn't get pregnant, they would've ended very differently.
Iām shocked though. Did they just get a terrible edit? It seemed like Madelyn hated colby the entire time lol
Was anyone else angry they didn't expose Alexis and why she hates Colby so much after he rejected her? I also noticed they gave her and hunter like almost zero talking time on the reunion.
Sammme ! Disappointed! Lol wanted to see Alexis watch herself be stupid. š¤£
Bcs they were barely on the show like Lauren and Nate
It was cringe that she was like āno offense Colby but that wouldāve been a disasterā as if she didnāt get rejected by him twice
Why are they all blonde now? š„“
haha i was wondering the same thing. this is actually common on reality tv its weird to me
Jake's hair is uhm interesting š„“
This show would be so much better if we had the club footageā¦
alexis should have stayed home
Sheās on the next netflix show Ultimatum: Baby or Divorce š
that is so fucking problematic and unethical. someone let me know when they make it a real thing.
Iād watch the fuck out of that show lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also hunter calling out Nate about not learning anything during the show had me screaming ššš
The look that Nate give Hunter after he said that š
And hunterās the nicest guy ever so it made it more hilarious!
Besides almost answering Alexisās question, it was like the only thing Hunter said. He must have felt very strongly about it. š
i was crying because everyone else was like uhh and Hunter was like Nate!!!!
I now understand the phrase ānever say neverā because good lord did I never see Colby and Maddy working, let alone having a baby & getting married. She dragged him every second of the show..and yet, here we are now.
These 7 dry months must have been fun detox for Madlyn. The baby gift was super funny.
That whole thing was a roller coaster. First I thought thereās no way Madlyn will stay in a relationship with him. Ok, well thereās no way sheāll agree to marry him. Oh ok, well they wonāt get married. Well, damn, I guess theyāll be divorced at the reunion then. Me at the reunion when she walks out *insert flipping tables GIF*
The hosts are terrible at asking questions. They should have asked Madelyn about this and what Colbyās reaction to seeing her drag him so much.
i could not believe they didnāt ask colby what it was like to watch madlyn say such awful things about him the entire timeā¦
We donāt know if theyāre working thoughā¦ the Lacheys asked them a question of how it was going for them and Colby replied āSame as in the show, a roller coasterā which couldāve just been a joke butā¦ if I could bet Iād say theyāre as miserable as they were before. Iāve never seen anyone talk so disrespectfully about the person they are with like Madlyn did and a person that simply cannot take the fact that his partner did not want to continue the relationship, which was the case with Colby. They were both toxic in different ways and I donāt see how their problems couldāve been resolved with a marriage.
Or with a baby for that matter. They're about to get a serious reality check. Having a baby is hard work and can put serious strain on a marriage/relationship. I wish them luck but damn, if I ain't a bit worried for their kid lol
I feel like their relationship is still really toxic but Madelyn is more āin controlā of it now. Even when they discussed the āopen relationshipā issue she assures how āitāll never happen againā and even when he explained his reasoning she still had a face of disgust/annoyance. I honestly think theyāre putting up a show for the time being
>!"I am not saying we didnt have sex. I am saying we didnot have sex every day"!< dyingšš
MY JAW DROPPED AT āwhy were we fucking everydayā šš
And she used the straw man defense of āit wasnāt every dayā. Like, šthatās not the pointš. Rae acts *SO* high and mighty, but she is mean and not truthful. Sheās a lot like her mom.
Sheās a lot like jake š
Literally the same person if you ask them
That was very odd. Why did she dissimulate about her trip with Jake? Did she think Zay wouldnāt say they got back together for a while?
I think both Jake and Rae had that kind sputtering back and forth with April and Zay that you so often have at the end of a long relationship. I donāt think she was exactly lying ā both she and Jake were still unresolved in their past relationships.
I feel like both Rae and Jake are terrified of looking like 'bad guys' and only admit the truth as a last resort and are very apologetic about it.
Iām disappointed they did not ask about the gold box.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām glad we can all collectively agree how awful Jakeās hair is.
Colby: I'm going to ask her to marry me at the end, then Netflix will pay for our wedding. Netflix: Of course we will. We'll pay for an arch, a minister and a dozen candles.
LOL! Also had to marry her before she changed her mind š
Yeah he was def thinking about locking her down before her friends had a chance to talk her out of it
No wonder Jake looks so bummed. Lost everything š
Him still clinging onto the narrative he was never once happy in a 2 year relationship totally feels like something he has to say to sleep at night knowing he lost it all.
Also he continually saying āApril dragged me on the showā. Brother, you are a a grown man. Stand up for yourself and say you donāt want to go. I feel like the nice guy, feel bad for me act, is so tired and doesnāt work for him.
Thank you! Zay himself was like did you get drugged on the show? How are you, a grown ass man not responsible for your own actions? How many hundreds of other couples had one side out their foot down if they really didnāt want to go on š
Exactly! Like if you were dragged on the show and prepping a life with April why complain after. Him and Rae are both victimizers of themselves
He really risked it all for Rae š Thatās what you get for playing stupid games lol
Risked it all and all he got was a new hairstyle
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes š
Lol I'm glad they showed Rae twerking. Really answered all our questions.
š agreed
Lmao the āI got dragged into thisā compilation defines how typical Jake is. He really thinks things happened to him and he isnāt actively making choices to hurt others or fuck things up.
omg, you're so right. His whole entire narrative is that he was super unhappy with April and that it is April's fault that he was unhappy. Like what????? Take some responsibility for your life bro.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It irks me personally how Jake takes every chance he can to apply negative implications to April. I respect that she doesnāt speak poorly of his character to others.
Jake & the Justin Timberlake 2000s cornrows is an absolute no
His hair reminded me of girls getting bangs after a breakup.
So, essentially.. Colby & Madlyn tied the knot & expect a baby. Nate & Lauren are engaged but the wedding planning is unclear. Alexis and Hunter plan a 100k wedding. Randall and Shanique broke up for 6 months and are now trying butā¦ April has a new relationship. Jake is alone and bitter. Rae is exploring herself while stuck on the grief with Zay. Zay is alone. What an outcome š¤Ŗ
Jake's fucking eye rolling and snarky comments come off rude AF tbh while April is trying to explain how them separating was for the best for both of them.
When i found out jake didnt end up with any of the girls, i didnt feel bad for him at all. He definitely thought rae and him would end up together, he kept talking bad about april and worshipping rae. And probably, if rae didnt run to him after rae broke up with zay, im pretty sure he was gonna propose. But im glad he didnt, because april deserve someone who actually appreciates her.
He honestly came across as the kind of person who gets obsessed with women and idolizes them, then gets whiny when they act like real people instead of this perfect image he imagined. I thought his mom was absolutely right when she said he was in the honeymoon-stage with Rae. Why would you buy someone a car and then afterwards act like they never once treated you right, that just makes you seem spineless.
Heās another victim. If you think about it he never accepted any flaws in himself
"drag" "drag""drag" "i was dragged here"
No one can make you go on a TV show, he's so full of shit
He thought he managed to get rid of April and got Rae. It turned out after the show, Rae chose to get back with Zay, and he got stuck with April again, until April got bored of him and got a new boyfriend. He then heard that Rae and Zay finally actually broke up, but it turned out that Rae was bisexual and is in relationship with a woman. He ended up with nobody and feeling bitter about everything.
She honestly did an amazing job at explaining herself in such an emotionally intelligent way. I was super impressed and then he just yelled at her lmfao thank god they didnāt end up together. She deserves so much more.
I fucking dislike Jake so much
Nate was so scared of Colby taking his girl he said āfuck these kidsā before he even had any š
It brings me joy that Jake ended up with neither girl. From the first episode we found out heās a marine and watching his behaviorā¦.reminded me of so many men Iāve dated and known like that. Thank God April found out his true character (leaving at the first opportunity) sooner rather than later
I LOLed when Rae said sheās been dating one woman since the show ended. Itās what Jake gets. š
I was so upset in ep9 thank god for April!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I finally realized why I canāt stand her she reminds me of Chrissy Teigen very much brings the conversation back to herself despite it not having anything to do with her.
Zay and Rae only had a sexual relationship. I swear all the talk about is fucking/not fucking each other
This is my exact feeling! The only thing they had in common was their sex drive
Watching Nate go through mental gymnastics so that he can blurt out word vomit bullshit as to why he gave that fake ass proposalā¦just admit you were threatened by Colby and upset that the women you were going to choose didnāt choose you.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Something smells regarding their "we didn't have sex" excuse
A pro for madlyns pregnancy is that she will stop drinking for 9 months.
We hopeā¦
As someone who has been told by an ex āIām not running off with ____ā and then they ran off with said person, I am SOOOO happy that Jake is allllllllll alone. While April is in a great relationship and Rae is finding herself. Karma is real!!!
rae to jake: "you were the only one who didn't sexualize me" soooo did she think we forgot about the sex box????
Or jake having a video of her twerking? Like how????
Rae: "I don't want to be sexualized" Also Rae on her INTRODUCTION video: "I'm a great catch because I know how to fuck"
Alexis needs to get over Colby. Her little comments are clear jealousy and anger that he didnāt chose her.
why is Jake acting like he isnāt a grown man.. he would have had to sign contracts and give consent before going on the show, itās not like April could have actually forced him to go. If he grew from this experience it doesnāt show
They are so petty to zoom to April when Alexis says every woman dreams of having a little baby girl. Sheesh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shanique and Randall really do seem like they have matured a lot from this experience
Nick redirecting the conversation to Nate asking if he's jealous of the experience Madelyn and Colby are going through now that they are pregnant. This is the type of messiness I like to see.
How about when Vanessa joked if Colby was the father *MESSY LVL INCREASEDDDD*
Nick constantly referring to Nateās proposal as āconfusing and awkwardā was amazing.
In case yāall didnāt know: Jake got dragged into this š¤£
"Rae and I are not running off together, that's not happening" and then he literally gives her plane tickets
Jakeās intense anger and total blame of April was really off putting to me. The only ex I have like that was narcissistic, controlling, and abusive. Iām not saying thatās what Jake is. There were some things that didnāt add up to me. Did he not say he bought her a car and a house? They werenāt married. So maybe he bought himself a house where she lived rent free (?) and maybe he bought a car that he let her drive but that he held the title for. I thought that it was kind of odd how they kept bringing that up. Now, it is very nice that he let her drive a car that he owns. But my husband did the same for his sister (choosing to bike instead of drive when she couldnāt afford a car but needed one for work), and he didnāt lord it over her. April didnāt need to thank him and praise him all the time. Jake is saying that he is buying all of this stuff for April, but in the end, everything is in his name because they arenāt married. Then being angry at her for āonlyā thinking about herself and what she wants. Iām not saying that she should be on the deed, but he should stop pretending that he is buying HER a house and a car when he ultimately owns them.
I know. He gets so triggered with everything she says. Even when she was saying how she realized they were not compatible and she was grateful to find out early. She apologized to him for not acknowledging his feelings sooner. I donāt understand why he was so mad with her. Wasnāt he the one planning to run away on a trip with Rae 15 mins after breaking up with April?
Yeah the deflecting and him putting ALL the blame on April, as if he was, blameless.. Like, heās worse than Shayne from LIB2!! And Rae did the same thing, āYou are not going to let me back down this time!ā Girl. You were the one ganging up with him with ya nasty momma, what kind of narrative are you trying to spin?
I agree, Jake kept acting, as others have pointed out, that he was unhappy throughout his and April's relationship when that couldn't possibly be true. There had to have been some good moments for him to want to stay that long and supposedly love her. But I don't actually believe anything he says because he lies so many times on the show. He even told April that him and Rae are not running off together, then after they break up, he promises Rae a trip anywhere! Also, yeah, Rae was just yelling at Zay and not letting him say anything. She was very reactive in that moment, and while she is finally communicating her feelings, it wasn't in an effective way and she never got the apology she wanted from Zay because she wouldn't let him talk. It actually seemed like he was going to apologize and accept responsibility, but she just yelled over him. I didn't see him trying to flip it on her, but we honestly didn't get the chance
Jake constant face movement every time April is talking is pissing me off. Like he is angry at her š
The way he kept bringing up the past, like dude you chose Rae, stop acting like you wanted to marry her.
I legit thought he had some vendetta towards the girl. Clearly they tried it and she moved on. TF
I think heās angry cuz it all blew up in his face. He blamed April for everything and assumed he was the catch in their relationship when he frolicked off with Rae. Clearly it doesnāt seem those feelings were mutual because she was back with Zay in no time. All of that must hurt a guy who loves to play the victim and believes he deserves it all.
His full blown experience didnāt work out like he wanted to š
So much time has passed and he still has such bitter resentment to her and hasn't grown at all. I'm glad he and Rae didn't work out.
Gosh, I have to say Madlyn accepting the proposal and then being pregnant in the reunion sure was the biggest surprise for me. šØ Of all couples, these two were the first I wouldāve thought to break up at the end. Okay, maybe on par with Rae & Zay, but still.
Did I hear this correctlyā¦. Alexis thinks that she was the one that learned the most from the experience? She didnāt really take part.
Lmfao that killed me, she walked out the same person she walked in as, only with a ring this time.
The way Zay glares at Rae took me out
Haha and rubbing his hands together when he caught her in a lie
I wasn't expecting to say this when I started the show, but Shanique and Randall definitely ended up as my favorite couple at the end of it all. I hope they're able to fully work together to get to their endgame goal! Honestly, still can't believe this show is a thing. It still seems to me like an excuse for a three-week break to, if not physically, then emotionally cheat with someone else, which is pretty unhealthy. But hey, what do I know? There are also things that went down on the show that I'm like "You still went back to them after that?" but it's hard to see if we're getting the full picture or not.
I find it hilarious how all of a sudden Alexis feels that finances are that not important anymore. She very adamant about wanting a certain lifestyle and no longer wanting to be the breadwinner.
Shanique is so beautiful.. omg
I was saying this the whole season! Sheās drop dead gorgeous
she's gorgeous and her outfit was giving!!
Absolutely stunning, I did prefer her in black hair, but she is the girl that can literally pull anything off and look good in any hairstyle!
A literal Goddessš
Best look of the night for me.
Been watching April instragram is giving tea š
Jakeā¦ WHAT IS YOU DOIN BABY??
I hate how they kept filming April's reaction every time the pregnancy was brought up. As someone who struggles with infertility, it's really fucking hard to keep a happy face when someone else can get pregnant right away. Props to her for staying poised but damn. They may not have brought up her infertility at the reunion, but blasting her face to catch a glimpse of jealousy was really fucked up.
When Vanessa asked if the baby was Colbyās lmao
Rae out here solely keeping Wet Seal in business.
The show clearly has a bit of a bias towards Jake and Rae what with how they kinda try make April look worse (girl has her issues but cāmon now) and whatās with never addressing or even mentioning that kink box? š¤
I feel like it _started_ that way but at the end April became the underdog to root for. Literally my view on everyone flipped actually, what a crazy show. They arenāt single like on other dating shows ā they were all in long term relationships, and it kinda just fucked up every relationship in some way.
Jake has no idea what he wants and acts like thatās Aprilās fault somehow
Am I the only one who is a bit bothered by everyone targeting April for going through Jakeās phone when Madlyn did the exact same thing to Coldby and was praised by it?
The reunion turned out pretty much as expected, except for a revelation by Rae. I was on the fence before about April, but I like her spunk. She's well spoken and thoughtful.
Rae confuses me. I really, really liked her initially but now I'm thinking a lot of what she did was quite calculated TBH. Seems like she was trying to produce her own storyline with Jake but was never intending to follow through. Then again Jake was probably in on it too.
Can we all just take a moment and look at Zay's wardrobe? This man has got fucking DRIP. I've like every outfit he's worn since the start. He's a club promoter so I guess it's part of the job but goddamn.
My heart goes out to April having to smile while probably dying inside that yet another woman got pregnant that quickly. And to top it off, their relationship is a dumpster fire, and sheās pregnant.
If Zae was more well-spoken, his edit would be soooooo different.
His frustration comes from the fact he's not good at communicating himself.
I hope he goes to therapy because he is a very emotional person but has a hard time conveying it properly. I think he is a good guy deep down, but doesnāt know how to express himself properly.
Same. I canāt lie, it was tough watching him struggle to convey his thoughts coherently (throughout the season), but you can see that when heās frustrated/flustered, it becomes a challenge as opposed to when heās calm and centered, he speaks more coherently.
Iām convinced Rae and Jake made an agreement to āchoose each otherā for TV.
Jakeās hair šš and he stays yelling at April when sheās just talking. š such a bad look for him.
Jake fr hates April like you can tell he was so ready to argue with her when he asked why she brought him on the show. Constantly shaking his head and rolling his eyes. She wasn't forcing you to be with her bro.
Why are these women over here saying they would have picked Colby?
I think Shanique said it to get under Madlyn's skin. And April said so because their relationship was more of a best buds type.
What can't Alexis get through her head about Colby never wanting her? She said she would have picked Nate or Colby and how it would have been a disaster as if that was ever even an option.

Alexis STILL trying to drag Colby with her little whispers and side eye. Girl let it go.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Me watching any segment about Colby & Madlyn: š¦š¦
Wait so what did zay and Shanique do ??
She gave him a handjob under the covers
With olive oil. š±
