It's been a minute since I did a catch up and since S18 of MAFS just hit Netflix decided to catch up with Michelle to chat about her time on the show. We talk about all of the things including why she did the show, how she treated David and we get into everything about the infamous text message.

We discuss the latest episodes of Plathville where we feel they are running out stories and leaning heavy into the Teegan/Ethan story that is nothing. Also, where is Micah? We also talk about the first part of the Summer House reunion where we can't believe the route West and Amanda decided to go.

Welcome to Plathville starts at 57.29

The season concludes with the couples reuniting to hash out the season. We discuss the things we liked and what we would do better next season starting with letting the participants know they are filming a reality show and actually have to share and talk about things.

We dissect the emotional finale and the moment I realized that I was wrong about the West/Amanda timeline. Just like Bravo did, we transitioned into the new show and meet the new group of friends. We are wondering if the show will eventually de-center Kyle and Amanda as the central couple and show us more of the others.

We recap the second batch of episodes that came with a breakup, a messy meetup and a cheating scandal. The couples meet the family and we are still begging for more cohesive storytelling from the producers.

Shout out to every one who sent in context and answers to the questions we had from the previous episode!
