Not me frantically refreshing my patreon feed for a reality gays recap every second! Thank you, queens

This image perfectly sums up the season so far lol

Izzy is hot but definitely kind of a douche, he clearly knew he wasn't into Lydia long before he told her. Sitting there rolling his eyes while she talked about her feelings for him wasn't cool. I've only seen the first episode so I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm still willing to give Uche a chance to redeem himself. He wasn't necessarily wrong in his assessment that Aaliyah should have broken up with the guy rather than cheat, and the fact that she didn't tell him after was definitely more about her feelings than his. People's first reactions aren't always their best or true reactions, and it sounded like he was getting to the part he really should have led with as she was leaving, that he appreciated that she was brave enough to be honest with him. It also felt a bit unfair that one of the ladies had her reveal who she was talking about to the rest of the group, because if it really is a case of someone having a terrible initial reaction, it would suck that everyone else's thoughts/experiences with that person would be colored by their worst moment. I'm sure he'll probably turn out to just be a major douche though.

Literally texted my friends while I was watching that Taylor physically and vocally reminded me of Micah. Just a prettier and nicer version 😅

Val McCue

Duche, as I call him, telling Aaliyah: I got you, we’re walking out of here together, what crock of shit! Girl, you can do way better in those pods!

Lioness

Miriam is likely trying to sell bleaching cream, but she knows people will come for her for that, so she tried to say it in a more diplomatic way. She’s as transparent as a window pane, I’m glad we’ll never see her again.

Lioness

Also, Uche is a Nigerian name, and Houston is a mini Lagos… so high likelihood that he grew up in a Nigerian household.

Lioness

Matty, Larenz Tate was the hot one in that movie, no one ever gives a shit about Bill Bellamy! Especially because his character was a total piece of shit!! 😆😂😂

Lisa F

Izzy is gorgeous and I LOVE his bald head but he clearly wants a party girl. Now Uche…my jaw DROPPED at that entire interrogation scene with Alliyah. WTF. It would be one thing if he said “that’s hard to hear” but to totallly get judgy and use it shame her was beyond cruel. Run Alliyah!!!! Taylor reminded me of Micah too!!! Lydia is great at consoling people but whoa…agree she needs a dating coach and not having the story that she needs to feel loved. It’s not these guy’s issue to make her feel loved based on her past.

AP

I think Miriam is selling skin lightening cream…

Jaide

Miriam is 100% peddling skin bleaching cream

Jaide

Aaliyah should have lied her ass off 🤣 No way I would've let that man interrogate and chastise me like that, TF?!

Robin black

Crate and Barrel and then Chilis on a Friday night would rock my world!!! Lol

Emily K

I am not attracted to bald men. Like, I wouldn’t seek one out. If my partner became bald, that’s different. But all that to say, I’d NEVER say “ew” to their face or behind their back really.

MicaS

Was anyone else grossed out and feeling cringe when Lydia was “consoling” Aaliyah? She was a way too in her face for my taste. I felt like shouting (maybe I did) “Go away and shut up!!”

Jana Wilson

I don't believe that story at all 😂. I think maybe he's been rejected because of it but not like that.

Jana Wilson

That's what I was thinking!! She's does some kind of skin lightening and knew that wouldn't fly in the States.

Shelby

Me, having watched all episodes and listening to the boys say how great Lydia is and Aaliyah is lucky to have her: 😬😬🥴🥴

Jaide

Yes!!! And she kept saying "look at me"...like GIRL! She's so annoying, I mute the tv when she's on

Carey Addis

I thought it was PH balancing for 😺. But someone on the squad said her IG mentions body butter.

Carey Addis

I took it as embarrassment. Thought it was PH balancing stuff for lady bits or something. But someone said they saw her body butter on her IG. But maybe it’s bleaching butter? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think that’s a great guess.

Carey Addis

My favorite parts was the very weird made up names Poodle came up with for the very basic name of Monica.

Carey Addis

Matty, Joyce Meyer’s bodyguard and close friend became a family annihilator (call back). I wouldn’t trust her judgment. Poodle would’ve seen it coming.

Carey Addis

It would have to be tops on one side and bottoms on other. If they cast all verse men then all the guys would end up hooking up with guys on their side of the pods. They’d have to allow no interaction between anyone except in the pods.

Danielle A Kidd

Yes, the constant "look at me, look at me, we're the same we're the same." Can I process my own feelings?!?!? Sheesh!!!!

Patti

Mattie, thank you for your positive words about Houston. We are the most diverse city in Texas and second most in the country. Yes, it’s not the prettiest place, and summer is satan’s taint, but I feel like we frequently get overlooked. And we have the best restaurants!

Super Nova

I don't like any of these people. Besides a couple of 33 and 34 year olds, everyone is 30 and younger. No onr under 30 should be getting married!

Caroline Dickie

I get potential douche vibes from Izzy, but damn. The things I would do…I love a baseball player. And those thighs and that ass. I bet those forearms are real nice too. Ok this has gone to a weird area, I’ll excuse myself…

Brooke

Just came here to say I loved the N'Sync chandelier scream 😅

Jill

Sometimes I feel like Mattie’s claims about Dallas need to be fact-checked in this century. Houston is the #1 most diverse city in America but Dallas is #4. The way he talks about this city makes me sad — not just diversity but a lot of things.

Jill

PS to be clear I’m not a Houston hater — I actually like it a lot!

Jennifer Riester

Mattie - all of the worst divorces I handle involve bald men (sorry to any nice bald guys out there) so I'm hard pass on bald men.

Heather D.

OMG perfect name! The way he spoke to her during her cheating confession was cold and cruel in a way I couldn’t move past. C’mon girl SHUT. IT. DOWN.

Bobson Dugnutt

Maybe this is a red flag but I was nodding along to everything Uche was saying in that scene... if I was deciding whether or not to be with someone long term I would absolutely back out if I found out they had cheated on someone, not told them, and justified it by saying it would hurt them too much to tell them! I think he was a bit blunt about it but 100% in the right. I interpreted his coldness as shock/disappointment that the person he was the most into had cheated on her last partner and then lied about it

Justice, 26: “I’m really good at cunnilingus, it’s my God given talent.” Translation: I spend 1 1/2 minutes on you, then it’s all about me. NEXT! Never believe a man when he says he LOVES to do something to please a woman. That means they’re horrible at it, especially if a man is well endowed. I would say 90+% of them thinks you should be satisfied, just by looking at their prized possession. 😂

I met my significant other on the employee bus at the airport. (I was a flight attendant, he is in fleet service - he loads your bags and ushers the planes in) The bus was crowded, I ended up sitting next to him. First thing I noticed was his thighs (NICE) and his arms & shoulders (huge) 😍 We’ll be together 21 years next month. 😉

Madeline Rose

Uche was so out of line in the way he expressed himself but I do understand why he was upset - it’s not a double standard because he never has actually cheated and I understand him being scared by the fact that within the last two years she made the conscious choice to cheat rather than break up with someone AND never told them. While this is a new relationship, to me a person either is able to cheat like that or not and she proved that after years with someone, rather than standing up and doing the right thing she was shady and lied to him. I would always want to know and I’ve caught exes cheating so I am hyper sensitive about this but it sounds like Uche is too. She should have led with that and been open about it after asking that of a partner - I was shocked after the way she had been talking. She had literally just said “what I want from a partner is morality” and then she admits she has recently cheated and never even confessed to the person. This doesn’t excuse the way Uche behaved and if he had dealbreakers he should have checked on that before saying he’ll stand by someone no matter what, but I don’t want to act like he was the only one in the wrong here. But I also think she could have handled herself a lot better too.

Madeline Rose

Also I feel like based on the way Uche processes things he may be someone with Autism? I have adhd and many autistic friends and rather than be unemotional I think he just struggles to express himself and that is even more difficult in this setting. I doubt he’s proud of how he acted but I think there is more with neurodiversity as well.

Moy

If you’re about to get engaged to someone you’ve known for a week you don’t have that established layer of trust to fall back on. The idea that someone was cheating in a previous relationship has no bearing on your assessment is absolutely insane to me. If the genders were reversed I would 100% be cheering on a woman grilling a man who cheated in his last relationship. It’s absolutely something I would have a lot of feelings about. And that person they didn’t tell us absolutely hearing about it now, & that’s fucked up.

Jeida Mitchell

Finally starting this and I don’t like anyone. Except, maybe Chris. And I just think he’s fine.

Amy Diehl

I just started catching up... Izzy is HOT and I don't usually dig on bald men but I don't hate it either. The Uncle Fester convo cracked me up 🤣🤣

Brittney Scott

I am so glad you’re bringing back Season 5 from the vault! I’ve never seen it, and I just finished season 4 last night. Now I can listen to your recaps of Season 5 🎉

TheKettralWingLeader10

I still don’t get the Uche hate…he was just being honest and authentic. Why would Aaliyah stay in a relationship for over 2 years cheating ??? Just leave the relationship…
