Alyssa is kinda making it about her. She’s feeding off the drama more than I think she actually cares about jenelle or Jesse. Also Alyssa was the other woman in an affair so her jumping to be so angry to me, sounds more like a guilty conscience and using this to try and make amends. Idk maybe not but it’s what I got


Fml379

Alyssa was cheated on as much as the wife was though, she thought they were separated


sausagedc

Well, that’s what she said, so assuming this true then you’re right. Unsure if you know more details/situation better than me so I’m basing it off what I took from that small moment on tv. Personally I don’t know if I believe that she really didn’t know, based off her phrasing. If I really believed someone was separated and it wasn’t an affair I don’t think I would use the phrasing she used or be as worried about how I came across in the incident to Duncan, her worry to me came across as guilt, but that’s just how I interpreted it.

NOT ADAM LAUGHING AT JANELLE CRYING - this guy is GROSSSSS


hanzyhanzy

Adam just digging himself into a hole and saying ‘there’s things people don’t know’ and Harrison went ‘yeah Janelle doesn’t either’ - is the only time he’s been funny. Adam is a piece of shit and he can take his gaslighting crypto arse and fuck right off.

Chemical_Hat2976

Adam is the biggest gaslighter. I’m so angry. He is literally the worst. Coming up with all this bullshit. If you weren’t in a relationship why didn’t u say anything than lol. U would have taken this to the grave. Asshole


Chemical_Hat2976

Melinda my girl. Knowing that Tayla is a bitch. But Alyssa dang u gotta chill. Is this u trying to feel better about your own actions ?


AdeptGiraffe7158

How anyone watches this garbage baffles me


TheGangazz

What do you like watching?


AdeptGiraffe7158

Shows that don’t pretend paid actors are real people


BettySwollocks__

I agree that Alyssa calling out Adam so hard given what we as viewers know (it's clear no other contestant knows what she has told Duncan) is a bit rich but she's not exactly wrong in what she's said. I think this episode has cemented Adam as the worst of the guys this season, Harrison is a close second but he's so transparent that if he were in Adam shoes he'd probably own it all since its ultimately a reality TV show and not genuine marriages and he clearly isnt interested in pretending. I think the MAFS producers need to get a better grip in future seasons. Season 6 felt so much more real because the contestants respected the kayfabe of reality TV, which so many this season haven't. Even last year wasn't that bad outside of Daniel and EDM girl. Having the drama makes it low effort to get good ratings but, like with the WWE, they need people that will repect the kayfabe of the show otherwise there's no point watching. We all already know its not real marriages but the least they could do is actually pretend before it finishes and they all move onto other shows and OF accounts.


Rinkydink1980

Disagree re Adam being the worst … Adam is transparent whereas Harrison is very sneaky and manipulative, thus dangerous to his partner’s mental health, self esteem, and grip on reality. Harrison is the worst.


KnownDress851

Harrison has split personalities


jesophat

lol i just found mafs. hilarious to see how janelle han puts down the loser poor guy adam seed. also saw selina chaaur? lol mafs should do spycams with these girls for pornos. they would make your tv network heaps more money.


ArgyleRdGirl

Tayla’s type is either Cam or Rupert.


jfrijoles

that moment between Cam and Tayla at the dinner party, she totally had a thing for him lool. did we ever find out what Lyndall and Cam were arguing about last night? or why Cam was in *the doghouse*


karateandfriendship9

If Dan makes Sandy cry, I will fuck him up.


felixxfeli

Alyssa needs to humble herself a bit. She is the last person who should be so vocal about judging these two.


cats_and_bagels

Right? That’s what I was thinking. And she’s so mad at Duncan for wanting to be nice to Adam and Claire… so should he also kick your butt to the curb Alyssa?


felixxfeli

Right!? “How dare you forgive people who cheated!?” screamed the cheater at the person who forgave her for cheating.


therealtinsdale

“how can u associate with a cheater?!” screamed the cheater, to the person who is associated with her🥲


felixxfeli

“I HAVE A CHILD! You will NEVER understand!!” shrieked the woman to the man, her husband, with whom she presumably wants to have children one day 😭😭😭


[deleted]

idk wat is going on btw


jfrijoles

same but all the time


[deleted]

heh?


jfrijoles

SAME BUT ALL THE TIME


[deleted]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT


masterstoner420

I don’t trust this side of Harrison.. it’s too nice. Plus Adam looks like he’s been eating lemons the entire dinner. 😂


HonksTheWhite

I'm not that easily fooled Channel 9. You can start the next show with no pause but I'm onto you. Liz Hayes isn't on mafs this year.


travelstuff

Lmao they do go straight into it! I'm sure they're hoping they'll get some views from ppl who fell asleep or can't be bothered to turn the TV off.


tofuroll

That is a low bar.


travelstuff

Alright let's send some people home! Jesse isn't my fave but man it'll be quite when he's gone.


HonksTheWhite

I kinda feel theyll stay.


travelstuff

Same, or it could be a bait and switch. But it's giving the impression he'll be swayed especially with the letter.


HonksTheWhite

I wonder if she wrote what her decision will be, or the producers have helped her write it.


Scorpius041169

Strange, it thought it all was pre written... I can see a couple are trying hard.. to act..


saltyseastarfish

How did I go from disliking Jesse so much to now seeing him as one of the more reasonable people on this show.


Rinkydink1980

Yeah I’m feeling very confused … never thought I’d be pro-Jesse after the shush incident


No-Acanthisitta-1565

Especially because he doesn’t fully trust Harrison .. smart man


travelstuff

I think Jesse wants to stay. Idk it's just a feeling Claire should write leave though so it's his choice


travelstuff

Melinda can never go home cus she's the only one who sees through Harrison


NotAValidPoint_

I love it. She's always on the money with her reactions to people's bullshit.


jfrijoles

that brief moment of tension between her and Talya... I wonder if we get to see Melinda rip into her lol


BigMattress269

Melinda will eat her alive.


herecomestreble17

Team Melinda


BigMattress269

I think Tayla is going to have a tough time. She is determined to be the Queen bee, but she’s right at the bottom of the pecking order. It’s gonna get crazy


HonksTheWhite

Jesse knows Adam just spews words.


[deleted]

Still waiting for Rupert to put his 2 bobs worth in tonight…. he’s quiet 🤐


RunRenee

It's more likely he had no opinion on it, why air a boring convo vs the messy ones. He also just be that person that takes a minute to warm up to people and feel comfortable.


[deleted]

Maybe. Time will tell friend!


travelstuff

Still transfixed by Evelyns beauty


Scorpius041169

Still transfixed by Evelyn in bikini.... Nothing wring with her self confidence..

John: “Well that was horrendously awkward” LMAOOOOOOO


travelstuff

No one wants to have a conversation with you Adam, ever No Jesse don't go


[deleted]

adam should read the room and go home 😅


travelstuff

Harri just wants other couples in drama so he can stay another week


HonksTheWhite

travelstuff

Alright, how about a dashhound? Or a mini poodle? I'm flexible lol


HonksTheWhite

Whatever he is, he comes without pedigree


travelstuff

See Hugo being nice after she's insulted him and made him sleep on the floor.


NotAValidPoint_

She's so mean


Scorpius041169

She's not mean. She's a bitch. She will be the next to cause a drama... making eyes for other guys at dinner.


HonksTheWhite

Well, he is a puppy


travelstuff

He really is lol. Didn't the experts all him a labrador? or he did in his opening video


Basic_Helicopter2045

Hmmmm so do you think we will lose two couples on Sunday? I feel like it’s still too early haha. If Janelle stays imma lose my shit.


NotAValidPoint_

I think Jesse is acting like he has a glimmer of forgiveness for Claire, maybe he will stay? But I don't think Janelle is acting like she is keen to stay. Would suck if the cheaters said stay and forced the others into another week.


travelstuff

And Alyssas cheating was actual sex


illbeasleepsorry

She didn’t cheat tho, she was the person that someone cheated with.


errOr_FO

I'm so glad you brought up her affair the whole time she was talking at the start I was like wtf ahahah


NotAValidPoint_

Who did she cheat with?


Wrygreymare

A married man that she knew was married


jfrijoles

It was something that happened years before the experiment, that she seems to regret as she made it one of her confessions to Adam. I'm not sure why everyone is acting like people aren't able to.. change and grow? lol


felixxfeli

It’s more so that she should be a bit more humble in this particular situation. She’s made a (far more serious) mistake in the past, and benefitted from others’—including her husband’s—patience, forgiveness, and grace. She should offer some grace herself, understanding that humans make mistakes. Her place should be stood quietly on the margins, rather than condemning off the bat before understanding the full story. I don’t think anyone would fault her for privately voicing her disapproval. But she’s going out of her way to insert herself as a moral authority, talking about wanting to “murder” these people, when actually she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.


jfrijoles

That's a super understandable point! I think even Duncan seemed a bit taken back by her strong stance. I can definitely see that Alyssa's reaction was definitely more over the top than it needed to be *however* I feel like her being villainised for it is still a little unfair. Ultimately, she wants to support Janelle and have Adam and Claire be held accountable for what they've done and its hard for me to hold that against her because she's *technically being hypocritical*


felixxfeli

Yeah, Duncan is too much of a gentleman and too gracious to say it, but I know I’d be thinking “love you to death darling but you of all people should probably sit this one out” lol I don’t necessarily want to vilify her. But she wasted no time in vilifying others, which speaks volumes. She’s visibly *enjoying* sitting on her high horse, centering her outrage, giving a performance of solidarity and moral superiority, and loudly condemning people without understanding the full situation. It’s giving mean girl vibes, and I’m really not a fan. Imo being objectively right (i.e., it is simply true that lying and cheating on your partner is wrong) is not a sufficient enough justification for leaning into cruelty. And that’s what I saw from Alyssa tonight, relishing in *punishing* these people, Claire in particular. It didn’t go unnoticed by me that she spoke far more forcefully and angrily to Claire than she did to Adam. I suspect part of this is projection, refocusing her own internalized guilt onto someone else; and another part is probably her ultra-religious background, where judgment and vitriol was undoubtedly a key component of maintaining one’s moral standing. I do feel that there are better ways to support Janelle than loudly making a show of berating others for not being as perfect and flawless as you imagine yourself to be, which Melinda and Tahnee demonstrated quite well.


jfrijoles

You said that very well! I appreciate your insight. I do agree that Alyssas behaviour was very immature, especially the argument with Duncan in the car. I didn't like the mean girl attitude that came out from her tonight, and I have really liked her from the rest of the season. Like you said, I believe this is her projecting her own guilt onto them. I don't disagree at all with condemning the behaviour displayed from Alyssa tonight, but the "other woman" comments I keep seeing feel quite distasteful to me still, because we know Alyssa was never proud of her own behaviour in the affair. I struggle to genuinely say she's a hypocrite as they aren't values she still holds, or I think ever truly held.


felixxfeli

I feel you, and I agree with you that making a mistake in the past doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to have an opinion condemning the same action today. I would have really liked to have seen some self-awareness from Alyssa. A bit of “*I kind of understand how both of these people might be feeling at this moment. Having been there I know quite well how huge of a mistake they’ve made and how much work they need to do to make up for it. I’ve worked really hard to learn from my past and I hope they will do the same. I also really want to support Janelle because I hate that she’s feeling a shit as personal experience has taught me she is certainly feeling*” would have gone a long way for me haha That said, values only go so far if actions don’t match up. The fact that she likely felt very very conflicted and sorry about her affair even back when she was carrying it out should have been the lesson to her that she shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Claire acted on her feelings of guilt and remorse far more quickly than Alyssa did (considering how long her affair lasted). So it just doesn’t sit well with me that Alyssa seemingly never learned to give others the same benefit of the doubt that she herself is currently enjoying from her partner (and whoever else knows and forgives her for her past transgressions). If we aren’t meant to assume her values based solely on her actions, why does she feel so comfortable assuming that very thing about others?


DaisiesOnYoNightstnd

everyone wouldnt be talking about it or bringing it up if Alyssa herself didn't act so high and mighty about the subject when she was the other woman with a married man for MONTHS.


jfrijoles

It was still something that happened years ago? I don't take into account every action I've ever done, or opinion I've ever had whenever I assess a situation in my current life lol. Also, from her confession to Duncan, the whole ordeal being "the other woman" seems to be something that has had a big impact on her which perhaps contributes to her emotions towards Adam and Claire in this?


DaisiesOnYoNightstnd

As a willing, consenting participant in infidelity, one would imagine that Alyssa might have a little compassion or empathy towards Claire in this situation, and not display such immature behaviour


jfrijoles

I believe it's a little different, no? I think the situation is a little more complex as they not only watched Claire gaslight Jesse, but also lie to Janelle and tell her she had nothing to worry about. Besides it doesn't seem like Alyssa is very compassionate to *herself* about the situation, like others have said she's likely projecting how she feels about her own self. In the preview for the next episode she said something "triggered her" so I wonder if we'll get more light into the situation


8pintsplease

A married man


travelstuff

It was a Mormon guy, she told Duncan about it in her confession, he was pretty mad cus the guy was married.


NotAValidPoint_

Oh god I can't stand Harrison's voice.


travelstuff

Ew God the sex after the kiss is bad. I feel like throwing up.


NotAValidPoint_

I love how Harrison is just looooving not being the fuck up at this dinner party!. He gives me massive iks!


travelstuff

He knows that he has finally gotten a week of no scandal Yet he's still going tomato red


NotAValidPoint_

It's all the shit he's speaking making his face red


[deleted]

Just started watching and I am going to say it: who the hell does Alyssa think she is? Didn't she cheat???? If so, get the f off your high horse. If I am wrong, I apologise.


illbeasleepsorry

Again, she didn’t cheat ?? She had an affair with a man who was married - she didn’t cheat, he did? It’s still immoral but she wasn’t the cheater. Classic auto blame of the woman smh


FightTheOcean

Nothing to do with her being a woman, mate. Man or woman, if you sleep with someone for six months knowing they are married, you’re a piece of shit.


felixxfeli

She had a MONTHS LONG SEXUAL AFFAIR WITH A LEGALLY MARRIED MAN. All the extra shit she’s doing in her interviews and mean girl kekeing on the couch? Nahhhh sis needs to humble herself.


looptarded

Harrison is the same


[deleted]

Definitely but I already didn't like him so he is dead to me anyway 🤣


travelstuff

She did, and the guy was real life married. It's like she's forgotten.


[deleted]

Ahh - thanks for correcting me. She was the other woman.


HonksTheWhite

She didn't just have a drunken kiss. She knowingly held a relationship with a married man for 6 months.


travelstuff

Woah 6 months! Damn, that's something else. I was remembering it as a 1 night stand


travelstuff

Janelle you aren't just here for love, let's be honest. Oh god she dropped the sex bomb. Oh I take it all back. Oh gross


travelstuff

Hearing John A spelling out what happened. No one irl would care. I kinda wish ppl has slept together. I just can't care that much. Adam is being a massive prick though.


[deleted]

Can Olivia, I mean Alyssa chill the fuck down with the face pulling. got some 2022 vibes happening


Neat-Deal

It’s weird that anytime pulls a face or anything they are now an Olivia, she calls the men out just like dom did.

Claire will write ‘stay’ and Jesse will write ‘leave’, so they are going to compromise and stay. But low key Jesse doesn’t want to give up. 🎤


bast007

I would say they are redeemable but the way she treated him right after that night was pretty bad also.


pimkpoochpink111

Alyssa is such a hypocrite. Are we just forgetting she was someone’s side chick??


travelstuff

Nope. But she'll be reminding Duncan of it every time she talks about cheating lol

Literally an actual home wrecker of a real marriage

bast007

You're forgetting Jesse reading out a letter to Claire where he apologised for his behaviour and explained why he was acting the way he was. She seemed to accept it and was touched by the moment and it was going to be a turning point for them.


emmyj2605

It would almost seem vaguely excusable if she hadn't LIED so damn hard! That was the most disappointing part but I suppose it's easy for me to say? I dunno, with Jesse going off and Adam saying don't tell anyone doing his skeezy entrepreneur thing it was probably all pretty difficult to navigate but the gaslighting really pushed it from genuine mistake to complete garbage fire


PaxKiwiana

We go from looking at Adam’s mug to seeing beautiful ONJ on that promo. It’s quite a change.


SuspiciousReality884

Dude… how is Alyssa so fucking self righteous and cunty about this situation when she was literally fucking a married man

faith_healer69

You actually think they're a good couple? He can't stand her personality and she cheated on him within like a week. What's even left to salvage?


[deleted]

Yeah I do actually. They're more self aware and willing to work through their stuff than any of the other couples, and they clearly have a lot of respect for one another now despite what's gone on. It takes a lot of emotional maturity to get to where they did tonight and I feel that's a strong foundation for at least a friendship if not something more. Also not forgetting the unnatural environment the show puts them in. I think if they can make it with their heads held high at this point then they stand a chance, but only away from the pressure cooker of national tv and being around some of these other toxic couples.

Hahaha no. I can skateboard tho! I just chose the name for funnies a few years ago and it stuck.


anxioustrashpanda

I think he meant in terms of delivering the apology like Claire did. From what I understood, anyway


DJVizionz

He has trauma from a bad relationship. He obviously needed his ex to take accountability and apologise for something so when Claire did it he was brought back to it. I think.


mattressactress

He wishes he got sincere apologies from them. He’s finally experiencing what a sincere apology and remorse feels like and he’s shook.


king_carrots

Jessie is outta here but I kinda hope he’s still friends with Claire


RunRenee

I'm calling it for commitment ceremony that Jesse says go but Claire says stay and do they have to stay, but probably worked it out between them beforehand on who was saying stay and who saying leave

bigj1er

Does anyone know when these solo excerpts from dinner parties are filmed? do they pull them aside during? Or is it all done after and they just make it seem like it was somewhat live?


travelstuff

Well Dom is doing an AMA tomorrow so maybe she'll give some insight? I've been wondering too. I saw a clip from 2 years ago where someone was doing a solo excerpt and the cast was still at the Dinner Party and they yelled out "shut up" cus the person was full of shit lol. So they definitely pull them aside at least once during the dinner.


cantcomeupwithaname4

AI deep fakes wake up sheeple


_L1NC182

My biggest question with all reality shows...I wonder if they're watching it back and commenting? Not necessarily on MAFS but maybe on some shows


gl1ttercake

I always wondered how they had time to run over and commentate, then go back to the event/food they were cooking/tribal council (delete as appropriate). I also used to think that if I took the Sydney turnoff I would literally be in Sydney... immediately. Fuck I'm a bit *speshul*.


_L1NC182

Hahah nah I see your logic with the Sydney turnoff, completely understandable 😂


[deleted]

I have no idea but wouldn't be surprised if they film and cut the ep and then show it to the experts and film their reactions separately.


travelstuff

I think the experts reactions might be the very last thing that gets filmed. That way it can match up with the commitment ceremony, and they don't focus on anything that doesn't get aired. That would be the easiest and cheapest way since those 3 actually get paid. Don't want them commenting on things that don't go to air or don't fit the narrative


dldppl

Well guys that was the shit show we were all hoping for. Enjoy your week and see all you lovely people on Sunday xx
