How do you know Kwame tried out for MAFS? I feel like Kwame prefers white women, but is too insecure to admit it or approach them so he wants a show to do the matchmaking. He spoke earlier about always feeling judged when he meets people. And I noticed that when Chelsea introduced him to her family she leaned in heavy with his accomplishments (professional soccer player, head of business development, MBA).

It was popping up on Twitter earlier: https://www.etonline.com/love-is-blind-star-kwame-previously-competed-on-another-famous-dating-show-202216.

Kwame's mother obviously isn't into the whole quick set-up idea. Shouldn't he have talked to her about going on these shows beforehand? Maybe he knew she'd disapprove and even brought it up in his auditions as an angle for drama.

Wow! Season 10 was based in DC though. So how did he end up in Portland/Seattle?!?!? I think he's having an identity crisis!

I saw a tweet (not from him) that he's actually from the DMV and only recently moved to Portland.

He chose her because he didn’t think he deserved better. Bliss scared him away with her family and Dad talk. That’s what changed the tide in my opinion. She didn’t reassure him that he would be accepted and enough for her family. He’s been through a lot. Hoping Irina
takes it easy on him.

Was weird but I think he secretly wanted to see if they were mean and judgemental towards his mom and family

The show has had all of this. Alexa was larger (though hot and generally good looking). Kwame is ugly. Irina is ugly. They had a gay guy on there season one, that was cruel, disingenuous and he was clearly on there for the wrong reasons (because love is honest and he was a liar). The woman Bartiste proposed to was short. Some of the people have been weird but they tend to be weeded out in the pods…a really inclusive show

Tiffany and Brett - Wonderful, I think that they are still together, regardless of whether they actually got married. I think they might be my favorite couple in the history of the show (I also like Lauren and Cameron but think they are kind of cheesy)

Marshall and Jackeline - I think she clearly has some STUFF going on at home. Reading between a lot of lines (read, I am making a lot of assumptions and I know it so won't be surprised if this is totally off base) I think she came on this show to get Netflix famous and likely a lot of people are counting on her to 'breakout' and be able to support them. I think she is struggling with this expectation and probably understanding intuitively that she doesn't get to go star in 15 netflix reality shows if she ends up married to Marshall. But he has real feelings for him. I think 50/50 on them. I think odds are high she gets back into the real world and sucked into her own drama and withdraws and turns up on Too Hot to Handle next summer. He is not really my cup of tea but whatever, I think the clips of her saying they don't have sex and his asking her about sex before marriage are red flags though and likely mean they would have been doomed anyway.

Kwame and Chelsea - What a pick me man. Gross. Worst guy. Should have pulled out after the Micah break up but led Chelsea on. I think he hooks up with Micah and that breaks up both relationships. Chelsea deserves MUCH better. That said if there is a dark horse of the season to marry a la Colleen and Matt I think it is these two. Chelsea, while very self assured, does not appear to see him clearly enough. I can easily see her saying yes at the alter if he plays along correctly and being devastated watching the season back now.

Everyone else gets an individual thought haha

Paul - He doesn't really deserve an individual thought but can't be lumped in with Micah. He is like, aggressively fine and boring. I do think Amber makes an appearance and if I were betting I would say that if he has dated anyone in the show post weddings it is Amber. I would be SHOCKED if he and Micah got married. I doubt they make it much farther. I think Zach and Irina breaking up is kind of a precedent setter, IE, if no one else in the season has broken up the producers can convince you to stick around but if someone else just broke up and you are miserable you are more likely to be looking for loopholes.

Micah - Young, wants to be famous, did this on a lark. Thinks that the whole process is a joke and so has been pretending the whole time and therefore thinks everyone else is pretending or drama queens so she doesn't think she's being a mean girl. She can't conceive of a world where these relationships are real. Which speaks to her immaturity and shallowness. I think she is just kind of a mean person, but one without depth. I think she operates based on competition and attraction and so she ends up playing with people. She doesn't LIKE Kwame she just thinks he is hot and enjoys that she could win Kwame away from Chelsea just like she won Paul away from Amber. I think she will be single and miserable at the reunion.

Irina - Deeply unhappy and insecure person looking for her Regina George to latch onto (found in Micah). Clearly was not treated well in adolescence and has deep scars about her appearance, causing her to proactively lash out instead of expressing compassion. I think likely what Zack saw in her was a person who also had a pretty traumatic childhood. Behind a wall they probably talked openly about their respective traumas and so he felt he knew her heart. And hey honestly might ACTUALLY know her heart. But a person who has spent a lifetime putting so much value in appearance (feeling like she has more value now that she has gotten past her acne) cannot turn off that core value. I think prior to the revealing, for all her bluster, she was likely INCREDIBLY insecure and anxious about being seen (she knows that a lot of those women were more beautiful than her). I think Zack greeted her in a muted way that was about his own social awkwardness, not her appearance, and the fact that he wasn't visibly thrilled when he saw her (and I think he was actually just like, emotionally overwhelmed not disappointed) put her instantly on the offense. He can't hurt me if I hurt him. He can't call me ugly if I call him ugly first. So anyway I think she's terrible but likely terrible due to true struggles she's gone through and when looks were totally out of it I believe she likely was much more able to let her guard down.

Zack - So my thesis up there on Irina is also kind of a defense of Zack. I don't think he is a bad judge of character really I think he is just a victim of trauma and so saw another victim of trauma in Irina, someone who could understand him. It is why he said he TRUSTED her. Like trauma bonds meant she wouldn't betray him. But hurt people hurt people. I think in Bliss he saw a repeat of what was clearly a different traumatic experience for him with an ex where the ex's family really disliked him because of his past. Bliss grew up with a normal happy family and so can't even fathom this lack of acceptance. But in Irina Zack knew this would not be an issue, they came from the same kind of place. And I think when Bliss talked openly about disliking Irina it triggered a part of Zack who feels like he is also 'low class' and sees part of himself in Irina. And it made him scared that when Bliss met him, she might see the Irina in him. I also think this is why he tested all the women and put them on the defensive by saying weird things when he met them and why they all think he's a weirdo. The guys all like him! The girls primary experience came from failed dates in the PODs and he basically says that he was testing them all by saying he was homeless or a stripper etc. So I don't think he is a BAD guy, I think he DOES have serious mommy issues that will likely impact his romantic relationships until he gets some therapy. But overall I think he is a nice person who is trying his best and is probably a little spectrum-y. And I think he was drawn to Irina and scared of Bliss because of his upbringing. I don't know if they make it, but I hope they give it a good shot and I think if they DO they actually might have a better shot than most of the other couples because I think Bliss and Zack really loved each other and there will be NO ghost of Irina in the background. And I think that if he tries he might be able to explain what he was so afraid of and that might help her understand him more.

Agree with everything here. Irina knew Zach would eventually get to meet Bliss and she knows that Bliss is beautiful. She didn’t want to be publicly rejected by him so she went on the defensive. Zack said she kissed him off camera so he was confused by her hot and cold. She was trying to protect herself but made herself into the villain and subjected herself to much more online pain.

No. No take backs. An elementary school retort that applies here.

Where are the men like them??

I thought Tiffany was astute to question Brett's finances, and I suspect he wasn't telling the truth. His wardrobe and shoe collection is insanely wasteful.

I wasn't clear on his job, so looked him up.

Brett is a Director of Immersive design at Nike. In several interviews, Brown described his job as “Product Creation that’s focused on using real-time, high-fidelity visualization and collaboration tools adopted from the games industry to help fuel Nike’s culture of innovation and create the future of the “sport.”

Do we think this is a real FT job? I have no idea. But maybe he gets product samples or a healthy discount on the products?

Nike reached out to him because of his artistic talent. He as a hobby posted his own drawings of shoes on Instagram and they reached out and offered him a job. He worked his way up to Director. The money is there.

Zach and Bliss need to say no. Please end this torture. He scolded her for being pretentious like a day after he proposed — get it together, man! She’s settling for sure. Where is this chemistry I hear so much about? I see nothing.

Jackie is just not ready for marriage. At all. I hope she and Marshall go their separate ways.

Her friends are beyond dumb and shallow. Shocker.

She's using Paul for screen time. Period. He's a dope and his apartment is gross.

I think she kid of likes his personality but his entire self and life needs to be completely re-styled and that is too much work. He had 1 green shirt and 1 sock, “found” furniture. It could work but some men are reluctant to being fixed

I don't see how Paul and Micah are even together. There is no chemistry. Must be a screen time/money grab thing.

My husband and I don't have much chemistry in front of other people but we've been together 15 years. They may struggle with it a lot on camera, at least Paul seems like he would.

Kwame is not ugly. Irina is not ugly beyond her personality and being a little chubby.

There is a spoiler website that looks up marriage certificates. They see the couples who applied for a license, and then the ones who filed a certificate. I won’t blow it here but I’ve read it and the results are good!
