MAFS - Season 6 - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Once again the collateral damage is foremost in my mind. I questioned the so called "experts" in the first season and I find myself still doing so. Given the success rate vs. the failure rate, there is very little that I can view as scientific supportive evidence that this works enough to continue. I do feel sorry for all the couples that failed but I especially feel for those that really never should have been involved in this from the start. It would seem simple to me that in the case of J & R, for example, I would question pairing a woman who had obviously lived with a man and was in a serious relationship with someone like R who seemingly had not had a serious relationship or the last one was a while ago. I would think that the "experts" would acknowledge that even the "perfect on paper" may not always make it so why put a J & R together in the first place? Good TV? Ok, but it makes them look foolish. I really like Pepper and Cal, but, if I can see this why can't they?

Season 6 recap M/J all IMHO - note only going by my memory. Molly was the youngest of the participants. She seemed the least willing to express herself, suggesting she might be the most hesitant to put heart and soul into the effort. Jephte at least talked about his fear of getting hurt. Molly's defining moment was the death of her dad and the loss of her family home. John's defining moment was the collapse of his parent's marriage and the collateral damage thereof. You begin with a person who has an idealized version of her parents and their marriage and one who has seen damage. My takeaway was that Molly was looking for the familial structure she did lost while a teenager and John was looking to create a relationship that he had not been able to capture. Physically they seemed appropriately matched except that I think Molly may have wanted taller. Wedding night - Jon may have overexposed himself. I think he thinks that directness and honesty are the best ways to proceed. No clothing, farting, and sweating are not a romantic discussion (excuse me if these conversations happened on different nights). I think Molly, being the semi-closed off person and appearance conscious person would be turned off by these conversations. I also think that she would be embarrassed by him showing the sex toys so early on. Had he done it in private and given some explanation ahead of time, I think she may have laughed it off. Remember - appearances are VERY important to her (she could not give up her hair and nail appointments - those were on her priority list). Also, Molly seems very career oriented and I think the job announcement was not seen as "a romantic gesture" but an "immature impulsiveness." Then the honeymoon. Molly expected gallantry and romance rather than silliness. She could take the silliness to a point but I think her hackles were up before they landed. Also, I think that Molly is not open to self analysis or criticism (Jephte for all his cautiousness is self aware and analytical just not good at communicating - Shawniece is very patient and communicates very well - that couch session after the corn maze was a very good example). Finally, once they returned to Boston, I think Molly emphasized on how Jon did not meet her expectations rather than the things he did do - left his job, gave up his cat, was patient (I think he could have been less insistent about the sex if there was any warmth - recall that Jamie at least allowed spooning). It is easy to blame Molly who comes off as a defensive, selfish cold fish but looking at it from both sides, I think Jon failed to read the signals. Does not mean I like her any better but I can see her point of view.

Good post Jackenzo, in my opinion, Molly had a Don't Like List going on her head about Jon, starting on their wedding night, his no job admission, the toy, and it just grew and grew. Then he had the audacity to film her true nature to show the doctors. Molly totally closed down to the point of not even wanting to talk about it anymore. Instead of seeing any good about him she was only ever going to see the negative. It was definitely for the best they parted ways and are now free to find someone else who will love them.

The experts are a joke, IMO. I think the producers have the ultimate say in who is put together. Season after season they match people who should not be together. Honestly I don't know that I find the end result to be compelling television. While I think the failure rate might have been high even without producer meddling, I think it would have been for different reasons.

Oooooooooh...how do we know this for sure!
I can't stand Ryan and hope Jaclyn has a fabulous guy in her future.

@provenceguy I believe someone on reddit found the actual documents.

The links are up for the reunion special Part 1 and Part 2 in the viewing links thread. I'll watch them later tonight!

I found this tweet eye rolling worthy. Now he's in bed by 9pm on work nights, but on the show it appeared all he was concerned about was going out with the guys.

Every time I'm in bed at 9pm on a work night I feel like I'm winning at life, anyone else feel the same way??#prepared #10hours#pronap

But do we know for sure they aren't together anymore? No one has given us proof. It's all hearsay at this point. I just want to be sure.

@mygodared it has not been confirmed by tabloids or the network however it was originally sleuthed by @Brill that she may have moved to Arizona due to her info on her Linkedin. This post by @crazychicken seems to me confirms it as I originally thought maybe it was the location of the head office on her Linkedin since she still had Boston area. Her twitter bio doesn't mention AZ and still says Boston. Ryan is posting about renovating bathrooms, and no indication he moved out of Boston. He does not follow her on Twitter, however he follows the other contestants.
