MAFS Houston Recap: Catchup Post

September 5, 2021 by tamaratattles 17 Comments

I am a couple of episodes behind on MAFS Houston recaps. I’m going to pick up in the middle of the honeymoon I think. I could have sworn I talked about the weddings but if I did I must have done it in an Open forum. I’m watching the previews now and it seems I didn’t record the honeymoon. Or at least I don’t remember much of it.  But it all looks like it is all going to shit on the honeymoon already. 
MAFS RecapMYRLA AND GIL

Growing up in South Texas with humble roots, Myrla (34) is a leadership coach. So, she’s aware of the importance of partnering with experts. She wholeheartedly believes the MAFS experts will find her a perfect match. Gil (35) was born and raised in Colombia.  He wants the American dream – wife, kids, pets and a white picket fence. A hopeless romantic, he’s ready to find his match to shower her with love and provide a happy, secure life. On the honeymoon, Gil discovers that Myrla doesn’t want to change her last name. Gil disapproves. Other than that , their honeymoon went well. Except, she wants nothing to do with his dog. I think she will come around. He’s a fireman who works 24 hours shifts. Myrla  will not let Gil kiss her.

Myrla is such a bitch. She just told her new husband that he “only works two days a week.” He is a fireman who works two 24 hour shifts a week at a very dangerous job. I figure she signed up for a sugar daddy and got herself a hero and is disappointed. The apartments are super nice. Myrla is rude about him carrying her over the threshold. This bitch is giving me CHRIS levels of hate for her. He’s gorgeous, HE’S A FIREMAN! He is loving and kind. He’s literally perfect! And she is such an unworthy cunt of a human being. How the hell is she any sort of a coach? I doubt she will have clients after this.

MAFS Houston RecapLiving Together Is Miserable

Back in Houston, Gil goes to see Myrla’s apartment. It’s tacky and full of pictures of her. RUN NOW GIL! JUST RUN NOW! You will have real women lined up around the block. I’d totally walk your dog if you know what I am saying… Her closet is full of designer clothes and shoes. Oddly she has a lot of crosses on her wall. Did I mention I hate this person? Myrla goes to see Gil’s apartment and meet his dog, Hype. She hates him. She hates everything. I hate her more. This is like Chris and Paige in reverse. I hate when their scenes happen.

But Pastor Cal has arrived to make things worse. Pastor Cal says buying red bottoms is a marital discussion. I disagree. As much as I hate Myrla, if she is able to pay cash for the crap she buys, fine. But if it is credit card debit. Then that need to stop. That is joint debt. Pastor Cal asks about intimacy. Myrla won’t even kiss him. He asks what she needs to be more intimate with him. I can tell by looking at him that once she gets that fire hose her ass might just straighten the fuck up. She says a peck on the lips is outside of her comfort zone. She has told him that she can go from now to decision day without kissing him. Oh fuck no, hot fireman, you gots to get out now. YES! He told her if that happens he is going to ask a for a divorce. I want him to ask for one TODAY. RIGHT NOW! THIS MINUTE!

BRETT AND RYAN

Although she was born in NJ, Brett (33) considers Houston to be her hometown. She thinks marriage will help to enhance her life. Ryan (35) grew up in a small town in Texas. His grandparents and extended family were all within walking distance of his house. Ready for the next chapter of his life, Ryan puts pressure on himself to find a wife. He wants to be a young, active father who can coach his son’s baseball team or fight off his daughter’s potential suitors. On their honeymoon, they go kayaking on the ocean. She’s terrified of ocean life. I kind of am too. lol. But, she pushes through.

Ryan goes to meet Baxter, Brett’s dog and see her apartment. He loves Baxter, but good lord he is hyper for an older dog. Ryan’s dog Maisey meets Baxter. Brett loves Maisey. AW, Baxter and Maisey are so sweet together. It makes me have a bit of allergies. Until Baxter, the little dog tries to get aggressive with Maisey the big sweetheart four times Baxter’s size. Brett checks out Ryan’s place. He lives in a beautiful home with a surprise deer head in the bedroom. Ryan says it can go in the garage. Pastor Cal shows up and the dogs are getting along well. Ryan brings up the deer head/hunting situation. He still wants to put some country in the girl. They are very affectionate, but have not had sex. That’s all Pastor Cal wants to know. They say they are in like, but I think they are in love.

 

MAFS RecapBAO AND JOHNNY

Bao (35) was born and raised in Texas to Vietnamese refugee parents. She never grew up wanting to be married. In her 30s, she had a change of heart and is open to finding love. She has a lot to offer and is ready for a life partner who measures up. Johnny (35) was born in Houston, TX, raised with his sister, by their hardworking single mother. Having seen the effects of divorce at an early age, Johnny has been very particular in finding a partner. He only wants to marry once. So, he has been holding out for the perfect match. On the honeymoon, Johnny finds out Bao snores and she is very insecure about it. Also, Johnny says her tendency to overthink things makes him question the future. He’s having cold feet already.

These two go parasailing on their honeymoon. They both loved it. They were up SO HIGH that I was anxious but they are not. Johnny is worried about living together because he is a neat freak. These two both worry about problems that have not even happened yet. Later, poor Johnny got way to far out in the ocean on a paddle board in front of the whole group. I love these two. But, Johnny has such high standards for bathing (he showers three times a day) and seems to be an OCD cleaner. I don’t know why he always focuses on the negative. Johnny’s dad called him and he has finally said he is happy for his son.

Living Together Is HARD

Even that bitch Myrla approved of the lovely apartment; but, Bao hates the electric stovetop and the fridge has no ice machine, and the fan has no vent, etc. etc. etc. Now she is refusing to shower before bed. I was raised, and I don’t know why my prude of a mother taught me this, that women should always shower before bed. And I hate mornings, so that works for me. Bao on the other hand is refusing to do so. WHY? Who cares what time of day you shower? Johnny is already ready to bail. He tells Bao, he is going home for a couple of days after dinner. He’s such a Negative Nelly.

Two days later, Johnny returns to their shared apartment like nothing happened. No apologies, nothing. He agrees to share a bed. No mention of the showering rules. Johnny has a pretty car. No idea what it is but I like it. He goes to check out Bao’s place. He’s thrilled by the bidet. SMH. She checks out his place. It’s a sterile bachelor pad. He has dozen’s of the same dress shirts. He has a bidet too. And light sabers. Because, who doesn’t? Bao seems impressed.

They are about to get the very unhelpful visit from Pastor Cal. Lord help us all this one could work without his inference. Who the fuck told him he was good at this? Bao feels like Johnny never noticed her because she was a bookworm. Bao says she has to initiate physical touch. She feels like he is not attracted to her. Please don’t let it be about the showering thing. WAIT WHAT? It’s about little things making her happy and giddy? REALLY? I think he has to be lying to Pastor Cal. Oh know I see what he is saying sometimes when he kisses her she giggles. I think her nervous giggles make him uncomfortable. I could see an insecure guy feeling that way. Or not. Maybe he is just a dick. WTF is he talking about now? At least this time, Pastor Cal basically says he is being a dick.

 

MICHAELA AND ZACK

A Houston native, Michaela (30) is a successful realtor and often sells homes to newlyweds. This lead her to want to have a partner to find a home for. Zack (27) grew up in Baton Rouge. He moved to Houston in hopes of finding a wife. He wants  to be married by the age of twenty-five. Time is ticking for him to find his happily ever after. Everything he has tried thus far has not worked. But Zack is willing to explore this unconventional way to marriage in order to find his soulmate. Poor Zach He has Covid and is forced to isolate alone at the resort. At least he has a beautiful ocean front view. Michaela went back to Houston alone. I don’t get why that had to happen.

FINALLY, these two get to move into their new shared apartment. It seems that absence, in this case, definitely made their hearts grow fonder. He lied to her and told her he was still testing positive even thought he is negative because he wanted to surprise her. They seem to be in love already. It’s sweet. He’s at her place. He loves her dog and it’s mutual. These two are perfect. They both move their two big dogs into the apartment. After a bit of aggressive play, they seem to be fine. There apartment has great views. Then, we get dramatic music and Zack leaving the apartment a 7:15 a.m. Michaela wakes up an hour later to find him gone. She freaks out. He is not answering her calls. So she left.

MAFS RecapIF EVER THERE WAS A TIME FOR PASTOR CAL THIS IS IT!

The next time we see these two, she is only back in the apartment to meet with Pastor Cal. Before he gets there the couple talks and Zach is TOTALLY FULL OF SHIT. This trick is definitely cheating. WTMF???I am furious for her. He seemed like a good guy. He has got to go. I loved him at first. But, I know a cheater when I see one.

Pastor Cal arrives and I hope we get more than three minutes of air time. Because this is a mother fucking problem. And I LIKED Zach. But, he’s a total lie.  He starts spouting complete bullshit to Michaela when Pastor Cal shows up. Nothing like he was before he arrived. Oh, it is just a little bump in the road. No sir. You went out fucking. I know that reaction to being busted very well.  Oh Jesus. She is going to buy his shit. No girl, NO! Trust your instincts. I am over him already.

Somehow, Pastor Cal is making this about her dad and her not having him anymore and tying it to this POS. I am calling it now.  Zach is fucking around on her already! Pastor Cal is ALWAYS WRONG. He is trying to make it all her fault because she felt abandoned when her father died. What a dick.

 

RACHEL AND JOSE

Rachel (33) considers her childhood in Houston a happy one with one exception, her parents’ divorce. In adulthood, she was insecure when it came to dating. But, this all changed with her last relationship. Though the relationship ended, it restored her hopes of being in a loving marriage with the right man. Jose (35) grew up in a middle-class family in Pearland.  Dating has been frustrating as Jose seems to consistently meet women not seeking anything long-term. So, he’s ready to be married and possibly have kids one day. On the honeymoon, Jose has planned a bike riding excursion. Rachel doesn’t know how to ride a bike. These two are hot and spicy together. But, she wants lots of international travel and he’s a saver.

Rachel is ready to be intimate, and Jose is not. But they are extremely affectionate. They love their apartment. But, Rachel wants to get up at five a.m. to work out. She will be setting four alarms between four and five. Rachel is impressed by Jose’s home. I am too. But no one is more impressed by his home than Jose. He has is budget on a dry erase board in his office. I should probably do that. Jose visits Rachel’s place and is upset by all the clutter. She collects pencils from everywhere she has traveled. I think that is a sweet souvenir. I collect very small paintings or magnets from museums. Things that fit in my carryon.  She has a giant brand snifter with slips of paper with places she wants to travel in the future. Jose is counting his coins.

MAFS RecapA Visit From Pastor Cal

Please don’t let Pastor Cal blow this up! I feel like the experts do more harm than good. Aw, the both feel like they “married up.”  They do have issues with finances. She wants to travel the world he doesn’t value travel. She doesn’t value replacing her car. SAME! I don’t give a shit about my car as long as it gets me from point A to point B. I paid cash for my Honda Civic 14 years ago. It has less than 30,000 miles on it. I don’t need or desire a fancy car. But I do love to use my Delta Miles for first class tickets to Europe. Their priorities are different. I think if she asked for a Mercedes, he’d by her one. But he doesn’t see the value in experiences.

They admit that they have hooked up. I think the probably did it on the honeymoon. Rachel feels worried that the passion will cloud her judgement. Pastor Cal says they should feel passion. That is why they were matched. She seemed relieved. They seem to have dodged the Pastor Cal bullet.

    Myrla is so full of herself and unwilling to compromise. Do you ever think this is all a game to her because she keeps smirking every time there is conflict. I think she is used to always getting her way and she’s usually more bitchy but trying to control it for the camera. What a mistake because he seems like an amazing catch….patient and kind and super hot!

    Jose and Johnny being unwilling to compromise could also be problematic. I’m probably naive, but I did not get cheating vibes from Zach. I thought he was just tired after having covid – ha ha. And Michaela seems very tightly wound. Not at first, but based on the previews. She too seems like she is used to always getting her way.

    We stopped watching this show for years because we were so angry with Pastor Cal one time.

    So a little insight into Myrla, I just lived where Myrla is from for the past 5 years. Depending on how you grow up there the women tend to be very materialistic and focused on how they look. They still can have that mentality that looks are top priority. Also where she is from 95% of the population is Hispanic with roots to Mexico and not really other countries, the fact that Gil is from Columbia might put a wedge immediately because it isn’t the same culture. I met a lot of women in that area that expected things to be their way or the high way and wanted men who made decent money to meet their lifestyles eventhough they really couldn’t afford it themselves. Also there aren’t life coaches in south Texas. I have a feeling she is probably working for the school system which employees most females in that area. The major jobs in that area are education, hospital:medical, retail, or manual labor including factories. Not to say all the women in that area are like a Myrla but I met plenty like her. Gil sounds amazing but I can see how she could be rude off the bat to him purely off his job being labor based and where he is from.

    I don’t hate Myrla. She grew up I believe she said a tiny crowded apartment. They had food but that was it. She worked hard to be able to be able to afford the finer things. Her walls are way up but she does drop them slightly. Gil is a good match in that he is good at getting her to talk. But I don’t see them making it. Their polar opposites.

    Jose is giving me gay vibes his “You go girl!” The strange cringy peck kisses. He’s as affectionate as my 10 year old boyfriend was when I was in the 4th grade.

    Sad for Johnny and Bao. I really want them to work out! Johnny is not attracted to her hence picking at her. I believed him when he said if this was a first date he would have left.

    Brett and Forget the name. Not going to make it. He’s an fboy but not by looks. Marriage will not change that.

      Forget his name (Ryan) is so monotone. I don’t think he is into Brett at all, despite what he says. He’s well off and wants a trophy wife.

    Think Zack wasn’t cheating but out getting drugs. He talks ready fast. Michaela seems really unbalanced again I wonder if drugs are a part of the problem. I think they partied together having crazy hook up sex when they first met. Johnny seems so insecure that no one will be good enough because no one can fix what is broken inside. Bao is really classy and they could work if they had some help. Ryan seems bored just going thru the motions. Myrla I think has a married sugar daddy. She isn’t about to cheat on him for a hot fireman cuz shoes baby. Gil seems to be very patient but he isn’t that attracted to her based on her lack of personality. Myrla is a cardboard Barbie. Jose gives me the Ryan vibes from last season. He wasn’t putting out until all the boxes were checked. Later he says they did have we but my gaydar is going off.

    The math with Myrla ain’t mathing. Her apartment was far too average for the lifestyle she claims to have, and anyone can come up with some bags and boxes from designer stores. That doesn’t mean there’s anything in them. I suspect she’s not as set financially as she claims to be and was hoping whoever she was matched with would be.

    I think the problem with Bao and Johnny is that she’s holding a grudge that he wasn’t interested in her in college, and he’s remembering why he just wasn’t into her. At the after show he said she felt like a sister to him, so I think that’s gonna be hard to over come. Plus some guys are into giggly Asian women. Johnny clearly is not.

    I don’t think Ryan is into Brett at all. I think he’s trying to see the experiment through, but I’m sure they’ll ever be intimate because he’s a gentleman.

    I’m also glad you see that something ain’t right about Zack. Saying he was walking the dogs or whatever but couldn’t manage to answer his phone or text back? He’s lying about what he was up to.

    I’m sorry but Bao said she does not shower often – like a few times a week. She gets in the bed after working out without showering. Houston is like the 7th circle of hell when it comes to temperature. Even though Johnny is looking for any excuse to run, this would be a dealbreaker for me. Especially bc she refused to compromise on her hygiene. He asked that she shower before getting into bed – not 3 times a day like he does. Now Johnny is starting too look like an asshole but not for the shower thing.

    I’m not really impressed by any of these couples. If I had to bet on one couple seeing this through it would be Ryan and Brett. Girl, however, is my favorite person on the show. He’s so sweet and thoughtful.

    I admit that Zack had me fooled. But I (sigh) agree with TT. His entire story of needing to put his dog to bed and then falling asleep with it then leaving early in the morning and not texting or responding to calls/messages is odd.

    I heard that the show recruited him. He did not actually apply. So it’s possible he is in it for the TV time and clout. Not a legally binding marriage – invade anyone forgot the marriages are legally binding. As Pastor Cal starts every sentence with.
