Do you think that they made Clay go through with the wedding? It seems so cruel to have her go through all the motions. I hated that. As soon as I saw his reaction to the "first look" (because she looked absolutely incredible, v sexy), I'm like damn, he's going to say no. He did not react they way I thought he would. I don't think they made him - all the other couples backed out and didn't do a wedding. I do think they 'highly encouraged' he go through with it though. I could tell from his scenes when he was getting ready that it was no. He looked like a deer in headlights and could feel his tension through the damn TV.

I think Clay is an idiot for saying no, but I'm glad he did. AD is a treasure and deserves better than that man. I was honestly surprised she didn't end it after his 'I'm gonna cheat cause my dad cheated'.
I can't imagine the trauma of your father bringing you with him to his mistresses dates/homes whatever. But I don't see how that would make you a cheater cause of it. His mom had a point though, sometimes the things you witness become part of your DNA. I just don't understand why you can't keep your dick in your pants just cause your daddy didn't.

I think he went through with it because he’s a baby and wasn’t mature enough to have that conversation ahead of time. And yeah, when he said “body” as she was walking down the aisle I knew.

I *think* they got rid of the 50k fine after the shitshow and lawsuits of season 5 (at least that’s what the speculation on Reddit is).
They do get paid a certain amount each week they’re there, so the longer they stay, the better. Supposedly (again Reddit) they get a bonus if they stay married for 2 years.
I do know that Aaliyah told our mutual eyebrow lady that when she went to leave early, instead of continuing on, the producers did try to “threaten” her with the 50k if she left.

I LOVE Johnny and Amy. I tend to believe the birth control stuff was amped up by the show to give them some drama. Otherwise they’re just a lovely, boring, sweet couple.
Amy saying she fell in love with his soul, and Johnny saying he never would’ve approached her IRL because she’s out of his league really is what the show is about.
Also, her dad and brother walking her down the aisle 😭😭

ITA that the birth control stuff was added in simply because they are happy and happiness does not make for good TV lol

I’m only half way through e12 but something about the way Clay talks about AD bothers me. Whenever he talks about why he likes her it’s all about him, “she makes me feel good about me” “she supports me”… like AD has so many positive qualities and it’s all about how she makes him feel. IDK, maybe I’m overthinking it When they first saw each other he said something about how lucky she was to have him or something about she was so lucky to be with him - anyways it was a blaring alarm that that man has some deep insecurities or immaturity or trauma or whatever to be that self centered. All to say I agree. I haven’t finished yet but I am happy they didn’t get married. AD has her shit together and he has a long way to go. She’d be really unhappy with him in no time.

And I can’t keep all these J names straight, but Jeramey is an absolute asshole. Bye bitch.
Also I know Chelsea is cuckoo and toxic but I feel bad for her because she has a lot of shit she needs to unravel and I think she would’ve felt more secure and acted less nuts with Trevor. It’s so clear Jimmy is not into her at all and I think she feels that and is acting that out. Also I know people ended up coming around on Jimmy but I’m still waiting. He looks and acts like a potato.

Also wow. That conversation between Clay’s parents after the non-wedding was really powerful. His mom is amazing.

So the reunion isn’t airing until tonight even though it was taped and not live? Didn’t they learn from last season not to attempt broadcasting like this. Just make it available.

I was irrationally frustrated I couldn't watch it this morning while everyone was at school. Nowhere on Netflix did it say 9pm ET, I checked last night

Nowhere on Netflix did it say 9pm ET, I checked last night Same, I left work early for an appt today and planned on watching now before everyone gets home from school. The app on my TV said available 3 am ET, but the episode wasn’t clickable. I just checked on my phone app and it says 9pm there. So frustrating.

Pleasantly surprised with the reunion. They actually asked good questions and N/V didn’t talk too much lol. I felt for Clay, I think he has done some work on himself but still has more to do. I also think he knows he messed up big time with AD. I don’t know, I’m having trouble disliking him, came across as genuine to me.
Sarah Ann and Jeramey (sp?) both came off shitty IMO. And for some reason I’m not a Jessica fan. She didn’t do anything wrong and I can’t put my finger on it. Johnny and Amy remained boring (sorry) and Jimmy/Chelsea meh. I did enjoy seeing the former LIB peeps there and Bliss and property brother guy are adorable together. I didn’t realize how many successful couples there have been, I thought there was like 2!

To me Jess has mean girl vibes. She reminds me of every mean girl/bully I knew as a kid/teen. She hasn't necessarily done anything to substantiate that, I think it's just her mannerisms

Clay seems like he was humbled. I think he handled himself well enough. AD is a class act.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the reunion and they seemed to have learned a lot from backlash from the previous reunions. I actually wasn't annoyed by Nick and Vanessa and was impressed that they went for the hard questions.
Trevor clearly wanted to die onstage, but given that everything said about him was apparently true, he's trash.
I can't even stand looking at Alexa. She is such a spoiled brat mean girl. I know she didn't even say much, but she just sat there with her smug little face and slumped down the whole time.
Clay did seem genuine to me, but I am easily duped, so. I am very surprised they gave Chelsea and Jimmy so little time, given that they had the most screen time, but whatever. Brittany and Ken gave me the warm fuzzies. How lovely that they came out of it with a best friend in each other.
Jess annoyed me. Girl, who fucking cares how long you were in there for the last date? Such an insignificant thing overall. He didn't pick you, go away. I thought Jimmy handled himself well overall. I have strong opinions (some of which I know I've voiced here) about a woman using her child for exposure, especially on social media, so that's all I'll say about her. She can go cry on Perfect Match about how much she misses her kid.
Johnny and Amy are boring and I love that for them. Adorable.
My favorite part of this reunion was that everyone's mic was on the entire time and you could hear all the side comments/shit talking lol

This reunion was definitely one of the bests.
Sarah Ann is definitely a pick me girl. I did love Jessica saying 'just cause you're the loudest...' bit, I loled. She and Jeramey seem good for each other. (like in that super toxic couple way, not as a compliment). I like Laura more now after the reunion too.
I'm so angry about Trevor, I was really expecting it to come out the texts were fake or something. What an ass.
Jess being so hung up on the 10 minute thing was weird. Jimmy definitely handled the reunion well overall.
I'm more endeared towards Clay now, it sounds like he really realized some things about himself through the experience and put the work in. He should have done it before going on the show but better late than never. I kind of hope AD gives him another chance but also do not think she should at all so idk. I'm torn on them.
Brittany and Ken are still adorable. I think it's great they are friends still.
Johnny and Amy are still goals.
Chelsea seems to be self aware and working on herself which is great. Jimmy was kind of funny, he's still dull but I don't hate him.
I love they played the receipts with the Matt/Amber/AD thing. I am shook she went on a couple dates with him and totally not surprised it fizzled out.
Overall, it was a fantastic season and reunion.
