Y’all, I am so excited to do this MAFS Houston Recap! It’s DECISION DAY! IT’S DECISION DAY! Thanks for not spoiling me on the ending. I’ve been trying to sneak it in early all week, but of course this is the week where there was a lot of tea to spill and major recaps to get done. Which was GREAT! But I am dying to get to this finale!
Myrla & Gil
It looks like this is the first couple we are going to hear from. I’ve got to fast forward through the relationship recaps. I’m too excited to get to the good part! Of course Myrla arrives in Louis Vuitton boots. Gil arrives in a powder blue suit looking better than ever! Drool. Myrla starts complaining right away. She said the wedding day was terrible. She hates meeting lots of people. When they ask about intimacy, Myrla says they have not consummated the marriage yet. Gil says that they have. Why would Myrla want to lie about that? That’s suspect.

Then, Pastor Cal asks about her wedding ring. She says she doesn’t wear it because it is ugly. Oh Gil, we all though she had grown but clearly she has not. She’s still very materialistic, and rude. And she lies. Their financial differences are still a huge issue. Myrna says she wants to stay married. Gil talks about their differences and then tells her that loves her and wants to stay married. That’s one! Will there be any more?
Bao & Johnny
OMG! I thought for sure they would be last! Here we go! Bao looks stunning in her red gown. The perfect dress to make him regret it when she hopefully dumps him. Johnny is stunting for the cameras. At least Johnny acknowledges that he has learned not to run way. That most have occurred off camera. He’s been running the entire time! Bao actually says pretty much the same thing.

Johnny looks confused as she is telling him this. Johnny says that he listens and never raises his voice. He does apologize for gossiping about her with her “best friend.” Bao was betrayed by both of them. Holy Crap! Johnny goes first and he says yes! Dump him, Bao! And she does. YES! He’s shook. Was marriage that bad he asks? YES, ASSHOLE! It was! You eviscerated her every other day!
Brett & Ryan
I’m super sure this is two “NOs”. They start out talking about how much fun they have had together. They speak highly of each other. Brett says Ryan is a respectful and good guy. Dr. Pepper comes straight for Ryan and asks how a “respectful and good guy” like him gets on a dating app before the marriage is over. Brett gives Ryan a non-apology, apology. The psychologist asks him why he did that. Dr. Pepper says the “not my type” excuse doesn’t fly with her. He didn’t give it a chance. They both want a divorce. I always forget how short Dr. Pepper is. I doubt she is even five feet tall.
Michaela & Zack
This marriage needs to end. I don’t wish divorce on anyone, but Zack needs to run. They started out great! But as soon as things got serious, the fights were vicious. Michaela needs anger management, or medication, or both. I thought Zack was the issue at first. But, nope! It’s Michaela. Zach randomly pulls out a script to read. It basically says he would not have changed a thing about the past eight weeks.

He thanks her for loving him and says he loves her too. Zack says he is happy and thankful. They are both crying. Zack says outside of his mom, she is the most amazing woman he knows. HUH?The experts are confused about what this sudden outpouring of love by both of them is all about. Michaela wants to stay married. Zach wants to get a divorce. The experts look shocked. He basically says what he said at the retreat. He wants to get divorce and then work things out with Michaela. The experts say he is not making sense. He says divorce means he is rejecting the past. But, he still wants to work on the relationship. Yeah, that’s not how it works. They’re done.
Racheal & Jose
These two started out like gangbusters. They could not keep their hands off of each other. But, Jose’s domineering personality quickly got old for free spirit Racheal. And they began to have explosive fights after he locked her out of their apartment. And they don’t agree on a travel budget. That would be a dealbreaker for me. Travel is number one in my budget. I am always saving up for it. Jose says yes. But, Racheal says no. Ah! She faked me out! Jose was nervous too. But she said yes! That’s TWO! I think they will be fine.

The couples meet briefly at a bar to find out what everyone’s decision was a day or two later. Racheal says that she had to say yes because she Ubered there and needed a ride home. Their couple name is Rosé! I love that Gil announces they are also staying married and one more time lets us know they are getting it in. LOL. Zack tries to explain his dumb plan. But, but this point, Michaela is down with it. OMG! Johnny is lying his ass off to the other couples. He says he went there with the intent to say no but when he walked into the room, “things just go into overdrive.” He cannot bear to admit that he said yes and got shot down. I love Bao. She said it was too little to late. I hope Bao finds someone great. She deserves it.
I really wanted Rachel to say no to Jose. I just don’t see a middle ground for those two that doesn’t involve Rachel spending her summers bored out in the country waiting for Jose to come home.
I agree was disappointed! Sorry but when she moves into “his” house. You know he will have “his” rules. He needs to find someone subservient. On that note good luck finding someone!
I really love MAFS but lately there are a lot of mismatched couples. I wonder why most of them sign up for this experience. Johnny was only happy when Bao talked about adding a 3rd party in the bedroom. He was a “player” anyway. Makayla is bipolar and needs anger management, Zack needs to grow up and be man. Ryan wasn’t ready for the experience AT ALL. Myrla needs to stay single, NO man will meet her standards
On point 💯
Gil is hot. Bao is beautiful. Glad she said no. Brett is sexy. Big loss for Ryan. Michaela and zack are crazy and not in a good way. Rachel needs to speak up or she and Jose won’t make it for the long haul
I do live that Myrla and Gil stayed together. In the previews he looks awful in that beard! But will see if they stay together.
I love that Bao choose Bao! Good for her! Glad she put herself first. If she stayed she would have succumbed to a verbally abusive asshole. I hope others recognize that she was able to recognize shit for brain’s abuse before it is too late. For some of us it is way to late before we notice it. Glad she walked the fuck away from that abusive piece of shit.
Zach did the right thing by saying divorce. Michaela has to help Michaela. She is unfit in her current mental state for a relationship. It is not up to her partner to “fix” her. I felt Zach’s reasoning was in fear of Michaela’s response. As if he was scared of how she would have taken it.
According to the schedule, next week will be part 1 of the reunion and the following week we get reunion part 2 followed by ‘Where are they now?’. Can’t wait!
I also hated Gil’s beard in the reunion preview. He was such a good looking man and this ruins it.
CAN I MAKE A NEW RULE WHERE YOU CANNOT DEFAME MY IMAGINARY LOVER, GIL? I love the beard, I do prefer no beard but I could love the beard in winter…. lol.
I ran across something last night that had spoilers I was trying to avoid. Let’s just see we need a FOUR PART REUNION and a THREE PART WHERE ARE THEY NOW. I tried to stop reading but never in the history of the world is has there been so many very interesting things happening. And I am going to have fucking RHOC to recap on those nights and I am going to be dying inside about missing MAFS!
Mea Culpa…
There are priorities you know. screw RHOC!
So this is both my JOB (which is great) and my passion (which is also great). But I have to put my boss hat on and give the people what they want first. Then on Fridays and Saturdays I can usually post about whatever I want … or you know, take a nap. So having to do RHOC first (even though I am excited for the new season, is like being at work and missing the finale of Downton Abby live. I don’t know why I used that example because I got to watch that in Paris on the UK channel before the US got it. lol.
I want it NOW! I have managed to avoid all spoilers, I didn’t even watch the preview, so I’m ready!
Gurl. It is sooooooo much. Just wait and let it play out. You are going to need time to process each and every thing. The aftermath should be it’s own season!
I was surprised at the order they showed the couples. Myrla & Gil and Bao & Johnny were the ones I was most interested in and I thought they’d save them for last. Overall it was a good season and none of the couples were boring, but I figured they’d start with Brett & Ryan since we knew they’d both say no.
Rachael’s the one I think made a mistake. Did you notice that Jose kept talking about how much she shows that she cares for him, without talking about how much he cares for her. No surprise there… Jose is all about Jose.
Watch when cameras are gone Jose is the most nicest person. Would be interesting if true and that is why Rachel said yes!
Remember Vinnie from the past season. I thought he was maschismo but reality he was just very nervous. Not looking but hopefully him and Bri are doing well.
Thrilled Bao left verbally abusive Johnny. Happy for Gil and Myrla, I still feel some kind of way about Jose after locking her out, not sure Rachel made the right decision-he’s too controlling. Brett needs a do over after loser Ryan. Michaela and Zack smdh. Lots of rumors swirling…we’ll see what’s up at the reunion.
Didn’t get to watch the episode until today. There were some surprises but ultimately it played out the way I thought it would. Johnny saying yes? I think he didn’t want to look like the bad guy and wanted show that “he is trying”. Um, no. I can’t imagine someone saying so many horrible things to someone’s FACE!! So glad Bao said no. So glad!!
Michaela and Zach must have amazing sex–that is all I can think of. She is bonkers!!! He is nuts for going back for more!
Gil and Myrla–I wish them the best.
Jose and Rachel–again, I hope it works out.
Brett and Ryan–I think that he didn’t want to hurt her feelings after he couldn’t catch feelings so he was sending mixed messages. I also think he went on the dating app so he would get caught so he STILL wouldn’t have to say the words out loud. Still a jerk move.
