Oh man, my love for Zack is stronger than ever! His “receipts” post on IG…omg, tears. I just love Zack and Bliss together. His singing is godawful though. Does anyone with iG know what he posted? He posted a long series of stories about his mom being an addict and him being estranged from her for awhile, and then how he reconnected with her and how important second chances are and everyone deserves grace. It as all about his mom and their relationship, but also clearly a metaphor for him. It was extremely touching and thoughtfully written.

I agree that they stayed on the Paul 'mothering' comment way too long but I thought that was more on Micah than Vanessa but as the hosts they could have moved on from it. I think they were trying to dig to get Paul or someone to say how awful Micah is and no one took the bait.
I think she just played nice with Jackie because it was a zoom call - I didn't pick up on Vanessa giving Marshall an attitude at all. I did lol at them saying he wanted the ring to propose to someone else. We all know you kept it to pawn that shit, just own it.
I do think it's bullshit that they didn't call Jackie out on how she literally told Marshall 'I just met up with Josh' but I kind of wonder if Marshall asked them not to dwell on it or something? Idk, he seemed very eager to just say 'it is what it is, I own my mistakes, it's been a year - let them and me just move forward and be happy'.
I feel like this cast overall did not bond like the previous years and the happy couples wanted to just ignore most of the drama. But I can see why - 3 out of 6 were dramatic mean girls (Jackie was definitely a mean girl too, she just wasn't as obvious about it). And Bliss missed Mexico so she didn't get that experience with the rest of the girls.

I typically don’t care about Nick and Vanessa but I get why people are saying they missed the mark. It kinda felt like Nick didn’t watch the show and Vanessa was trying to overcompensate for him. I think sitting there for 75 minutes when they were ready to do a live show, they probably lost adrenaline and it came off weird. Then the fact that they were still live for some people and edited for the rest, the show just felt weird. I feel like it was more a fail for Netflix than Nick and Vanessa.

I just saw that Netflix had a pretty big stock fall after the failed live.

I do wonder how much of the awkwardness was because of that long wait. I know I would have full anxiety if I was just sitting there for that long wondering what was going to be asked. Netflix really missed the mark with this. Not only with the live snafu, but letting Jackie zoom rather than being in person. Heck, Irinia even showed up, knowing full well she was going to have to address her actions. But instead of that, and coming with the receipts of Jackie saying she just saw Josh in the show, it’s like the show wanted to portray another successful couple, be damned if the two people involved were shady as shit about it.

Vanessa drove me nuts. She was trying too hard to be a part of all of their narratives. Even at the end she was talking over some of the cast members. And the baby talk was over barring. I think she was trying to have that hard hitting moment like with Shake, but she really missed the mark with who she should have been laying into. It wasn’t the men being shitty this season!
I’m irritated that they used a Bartise clip. He’s so thirsty to have a baby announcement in the last few weeks, but then to do so on the reunion was too much. I don’t care about him and really side eye him for putting an infant on tv.
As far as updates, do they ever give additional updates on the previous season couples? I wonder which ones are married 2-3 years later.

I thought it was super shitty that Jackie and Josh had the opportunity to discuss what happened with no interjections from Marshall and that clearly Vanessa was Team Jackie. She was so bitchy to him. I thought Marshall was really classy in the end because the eyebrows and veins in his face told another story of how he was feeling... Why TF did they just get to have a pre taped zoom call? I feel even worse for Marshall. Jackie claims her and Josh were getting death threats against them and their families so they didn’t feel safe going to the reunion. Idk if that’s true or not, but that’s what she posted somewhere, IG, maybe?

I really loved seeing all the locations on this season. It’s fun to see places I’ve been to on TV! I loved the wedding venue location, that area is so gorgeous. I’ve driven past the tailor that Brett took his pants to many times, so that was a fun little scene to watch.

Honestly, Zack is the MVP of this whole reunion. Maybe even the season. Until we had to hear another song from him. I mean, I loved the guy, but that was painful. I had to restart the last episode and ff to the end to get the reunion to finally start for me, it was so frustrating! And OMG to Vanessa saying 'I'm not going to ask if anyone is trying because that's none of my business, but basically I'm asking if anyone is trying???' Leave these people and their plans for babies alone!

Reddit is speculating that Netflix shut her down from coming because she had violated the NDA so many times and then was going off on social media that she was bringing all the receipts to the reunion all last week.

And yet, not a receipt to be seen. I think she talked a big game about bringing her receipts and showing her truth but she knew she couldn’t back it up. Netflix would want her there. I think she would only come on her terms which was a prerecorded interview where she didn’t have to tell the truth.

Have we talked about how there were a few other couples who got engaged that we didn't see anything from...and Josh was one of them!
Why would they not show us that?

I don't think I hated the reunion as much as most people. I feel like I'm almost always at least a little disappointed in reunions on shows, so my expectations are super low.
Vanessa was really trying to have another Shake moment, and it failed because Paul and Marshall are no Shakes.

I have like 15 min left and haven't gotten to the Bartise cameo but I've gathered enough from here. Lucky Auntie Vanessa got her first LIB baby from one of the biggest assholes on the show. Congrats!

Wow, that is weird that they are trying to push the Jackie and Josh relationship so much. They both picked wrong and were assholes. So josh proposed, but by the birthday party maybe 3 weeks later he called it off and went to drunkenly declare his love for Jackie?

Oh and I would have alcohol poisoning if I took a shot every time Irina said something like "yea I was really hoping we would talk about that."

Last season there were couples that got engaged and spoke out later about not being included in the show. I think Netflix just chooses 4 couples to send to Mexico and give apartments and weddings

I didn’t finish the reunion, I was hoping for some bombshells and there were none.
I think vanessa was tipsy and trying to be sensationalist but that really isn’t her job as host. Would love to see someone new and I don’t think two hosts is necessary.
