Oh Lord, what is the “dirty little secret” on this episode and why do I think it has to do with Johnny? Let’s knock out a MAFS Houston recap really quick before the next on airs. PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL ME I am a week behind on these episodes. I have to recap all the Bravo mess because that is what people want to hear about. But this is one of MY SHOWS that I LIKE. So please be patient. People posting spoilers will be banned from the site.
We Are Getting Down To The End!
It looks like it might be time for homegoing week. I just noticed that Johnny is THIRTY FIVE! He acts like he is 19. Zack goes to talk to Dr. Pepper one on one. As we all learned on the previous episode, Michaela is a nutcase. Zack says he is done with Michaela. Dr. Pepper seems to want to force them in to couples therapy. Zach needs to run as fast as he can. But, Dr. Pepper brings in Michaela. Why? Michaela comes in and the first thing we here is “Zach left me.” Um, after you screaming at him to get the fuck out a billion times you psycho bitch! She is legally insane. OMG. I have no idea how Zack is sitting here listening to this bullshit. She is trying to gaslight him! He walks out. Good for him.

Michaela tries to tell Dr. Pepper that when she demolished the house she was having a panic attack. That was not a panic attack. That was a tantrum.
It’s Time For Hometown Visits
Johnny was raised with an absent father. It’s also the letter to their younger self episode. Johnny’s letter was heartbreaking. Bao realizes that Johnny comes from a broken home and has no male role model. Gil takes Myrla to his hometown. His father was shot and killed in the apartment he grew up in. Myrla also lost her father as a child. This is heartbreaking. Jose takes Racheal to his childhood home. They both had pretty good family upbringings. Jose said he was raised on rice and beans. Racheal feels like he had the good life. And, in her mind all Hispanics live on rice and beans. Jose had a nice house to grow up in but he is pretending to be poor?

Bao and Johnny apparently arrive in separate vehicles to see where Bao grew up. Her house is totally gone. She isn’t really comfortable sharing things with Johnny at this point. She grew up in a trailer. Bao’s letter to herself as a child is heartbreaking. Her father had PTSD from the war. She cries. Johnny tries to comfort her. Is Johnny having a breakthrough? Is he human? Myra takes Gil to play volleyball. They are cute. I didn’t think that Myrna deserved Gil, but now it seems like a good match. Gil wants her to remember her roots. I remember my brother telling my mother that I need Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and Calvin Kleins and buying me Levis so I would not be made fun of in High School. And, I was pretty damn confident in high school and never paid attention to anyone.
I was pretty hyped about the jeans though. LOL.
Dr. Pepper Gives Bad Advice
Dr. Pepper give more advice. But, Racheal has a confession to make about the night he locked her out of the house. UT OH.
Michaela and Zach meet with Dr. Pepper again. WHHHYYYYYYYYY! She is a nutjob. They need to break up! Dr. Pepper is a moron. Why is Zach trying to hard with this sorry excuse for a woman. It is like he is the one being abused in the relationship and still keeps trying! Gil and Myrna haven’t told each other they love each other yet? Shopping is a problem in this relationship. But that is all fake for the cameras. We all know these two will end up together.
Brett and Ryan
We hardly even see this couple. These two go fishing. I guess this is his way of dealing with a not having a home to go back too. They talk about childhoods and share each others letters to their former selves. Brett has a friend who recently died. Is Brett actually falling for Ryan? I’d actually like them to be together. These two don’t do the home visit. But, later, Ryan finds out that he on a dating app. It’s not cute while he is married. He leaves the house.
Then all of the sudden, we get blindsided by Johnny telling Dr. Pepper that he had talked to one of Bao’s friend who told him that “this is what Bao is like in relationships!” Johnny says horrible things about her. Bao is heartbroken over her “friend” fucking her over. Johnny is a dick. Later, Johnny and Bao talk about her friend trying to fuck up the relationship. Johnny is done with the relationship. He leaves the apartment.
Then Rachael tells Jose that when HE LOCKED HER OUT her ex came to pick her up. Like that is her fault. So don’t lock her out of the house, you asshole!
I think Myrla and Gil could make it, they seem to genuinely like each other. The rest of them can quit wasting their time and break up now. Michaela needs to work through her issues on her own with a good therapist, Zach should stay far away. Ryan never seems happy, he seems depressed, probably due to his friend dying, not a good way to start out a marriage especially one at first sight! Actually most of these couples seem to need help working through individual problems….maybe they thought marriage to a stranger would fix them? Gawd, marriage when you know the person can be tough enough, why they think everything will be all rosy if I just get married is an immature way to go through life.
That whole conversation with Michaela and Dr. Pepper was as insane as Michaela is. If Michaela truly believes what she’s telling Dr. Pepper than she’s delusional. She sat there like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth when in fact she was bat shit crazy the whole weekend. She said things that were either outright lies or part of her very distorted perception. I give Zach credit for maintaining his composure and just getting the he’ll out. He could easily have tried to defend himself or contradict her story but he knows there’s no reasoning with a crazy person.
I’ve seen all the episodes and might not be able to remember what was from what episode so I’ll not comment on other things until you’re caught up.
Thank you TT. Thank goodness Zach is calm,, composed with Michaela’s psychotic behavior. Michaela believes what she is saying . Delusional, no insight. Plain cuckoo.
Gil and Myrla are cute, I like how they grew to like one another.
Bao– run, Forest, run. Does Johnny even have a soul? Her friend is no friend and Johnny is a still a jerk.
I know Rachel was mad that Jose locked her out but calling an ex and staying overnight? She couldn’t call anyone else or get a hotel room? It’s definitely Jose’s fault but she is still married, albeit to a stranger who locked her out at night…Nevermind, I think it just losmy own argument. Fuck Jose and she’s lucky she forgave him.
**He’s lucky she forgave.
I still think there is hope for Jose and Rachel
I am hooked on MAFS! I think Machela has some major anger management issues. Johnny has been terribly mean to Bao. My absolute favorite couple is Gil and Myrla. I can hardly wait for them to comsumate their marriage. Sparks will fly!!!
Curious as to why my comment went to moderation, I thought I was careful in replying. ??
I think there is a good chance none or maybe only one couple will say yes on decision day. Johnny and Bao are obviously done by their words and demeanor. Brett and Ryan are done- done after the reveal he is on a dating app and matched with someone. Why didn’t he wait a week? I think this part is staged. What are the odds he matched with someone Brett knew and she found out? Too coincidental.
There seems to be some tension between Rachael and Jose. He is not as enthusiastic as he was previously. When she was locked out I thought they said she didn’t have her phone with her. How did she call an ex? Why didn’t she call Production to help her out? Did she keep it secret this long for dramatic effect on the show? Not that this matters. His behavior that night was a big red flag that I would have a hard time getting past.
Zach seems to know he can’t be with Michaela and her crazy behavior, but when they met a second time why did he give mixed signals and invite her out to get “closure”? He shouldn’t lead her on in any way. These two are only compatible sexually and not emotionally. I think i answered my own question. He enjoys sleeping with her.
Myrla has warmed up to Gil, but they continue to disagree on how and what to spend money on. Gil seems to be uncompromising and keeps pushing this issue. He is not letting her guide her spending even though she makes a good salary and has been building savings. Many men would want their wives to have some of the finer things in life especially if they can afford it. Don’t they say money is one of the big reason that couples argue? If they could compromise, I think they could make it.
That second meeting with Zach really confused me. I think he really likes the sex. I think they maybe partake in some substances while enjoying each other.
He doesn’t like her, at all, but something about what’s happening behind closed doors keeps him coming back.
It’s very odd.
Crazy women are great in bed— so some men say…
@ Rmicu
Yes! Yes we certainly are! LMAO!!!😂😂😂😂😂
I completely agree with all of this. Couldn’t have said it better.
Who forgot to mention that Ryan is active on a dating site and matched with Brett’s friend?!!?
The men this season… I’m looking directly at Ryan, Johnny, and Jose – are such oansy-ass, poor me, snowflakes. I can’t. They literally arent shit but believe they are owed (not deserve, but are owed) Greek Goddesses.
They all sucks. Sooo bad.
I love Mirla and Gil but I agree she makes enough money to shop, So why can’t she? She worked her whole life so that she could have the finer things in life and not ask anybody to buy them for her so why does Gil have such a problem with this? As for Michaela that girl is totally delusional.
I had to laugh at the jeans comment, I had to have the Jordache jeans as a teen, do they even make them anymore?
Love your recap, also TT do you ever watch Welcome to Plattsvlle? I love this show, I feel this the realest reality show out there.
Love your MAFs recap.
One big question mark. Why did Johnny say Bao wears people down then gets them to do things she wants? She is not some mastermind villian! Other than being an asshole to her. I am curious from a psychological standpoint.
I hope Bao recognizes that her and her siblings kept her parents marriage together. Big difference in her current relationship.
I hope that Bao realizes her “best friend” is a cunt.
I wonder how much truth there is to it?
I was wondering that too. I have a best friend who is a DISASTER at relationships — all of them — friends, family, boyfriends. I would be in a bind if someone asked me about having a relationship with her. Of course I would try to say good things, but it would also be hard not to say the truth if they asked if she is normally this jealous and controlling. I love hanging out with her, but all she does is complain about people and how she thinks they’ve wronged her. I feel bad, but I would never fix her up with anyone because I wouldn’t want to put them through it.
I LOVE that you recap MAFS. The jeans segue 😂😂, I wore Vanderbilt and Dittos…I looked great in my Ditto Jeans. Had to use my babysitting money for fancy pants.
