Uche has the vibe of someone who would not leave a tip for a waitress, but instead would leave a note that says "you should smile more :) "

YES lol. And JP is the type to get a female waitress that wears makeup and “jokingly” say “wow, I hope I don't a fake eyelash in my food 🤪”

[@lesbianslipknotfan]

STOOOOOOP I HATE THATTTTT

[@miab.5648]

As soon as Uche started degrading Aliya for cheating it was IMMEDIATELY giving projection

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

I immediately knew he was a cheater when he started to berate her. Some people cheat, regret it, and never do it again. Not Uche. He's the type of guy who cheats on his wife constantly, then gaslights her when she discovers his betrayal.

[@cam4636]

Yeah. There's "wow, I can't see myself trusting someone who I know has been unfaithful before" and then there's "I would NEVER do such a thing, well I DID but it DIDN'T COUNT"

[@elleofhearts8471]

unche can dish it out but he can't take it. Something tells me he doesn't like what he sees in the mirror and when confronted with someone who is guilty of the same thing hes guilty of, it reminded him of himself and he did not appreciate that. Not aliyah's fault tho.

[@bishielurfer]

At the very least, it gives a vibe that he wants to feel morally superior or something. Like if someone told me they'd cheated, I don't know if I could get over that, so I get if that would be a dealbreaker. But she already expressed it was something she didn't feel good about, so why get on a high horse and lecture her?

[@asarishepard8171]

ikr, that was so weird i was like wait a minute.

[@wtfaiwpodcast]

JP's weird freakout about makeup is definitely an incel talking point, so that makes me think that he's just helplessly uncomfortable around women in general and he was hoping that the format of the show would somehow fix that for him. I mean, he's a little old to be an incel, but that's the energy he's giving off.

[@katet8639]

He's not old to be an incel.

[@hospitable_ghost]

I don't think being an incel has an age limit unfortunately.

[@elleofhearts8471]

thinking he's too old to be an incel is predicated on the idea that inceldom is a phase you eventually grow out of when you get to a certain age. I got bad news for you.

[@siyasanga_makie]

I think he’s into men, not girls. Down low.

[@melissarose888]

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

He did say that he was never in a committed relationship with Lydia, and she ONLY said he cheated on her after gushing about what a wonderful person he was and telling Aaliyah that he would treat her well. Why would she say that AND on top of that try to get back with him as soon as they were in the pods together? It doesn’t make any sense.

Especially because like damn nigga she must’ve been so nervous and a lot of people feel more confident with makeup on like you’re supposed to marry this person who never seen you before in a couple weeks so of course you wanna look what you think is your best damn, no consideration for her SMH

Yeah they say "all natural" but really it's they prefer the no makeup look with minimal makeup.

[@cassiea13245678]

[@zombieedrea]

This is also in contrast to Izzy and Stacy meeting where she was like, "don't touch my legs, I didn't shave," and he said he noticed that but it didn't bother him at all, and they both made a joke about him braiding her leg hair (gross but also kinda cute lol). That is how you do it!! And also showed that he really did genuinely care for her and didn't give a shit about her appearance. Then JP's musty ass stonewalled her for wearing fuckin fake eyelashes. I agree with Kennie, Taylor is waaaaay nicer than I would've been. The second he said, "just don't wear makeup," I would've been pelting him with my fuckin brushes.

[@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066]

Yeah I like natural women, but they have to be completely hairless from their eyelashes down! Oh and it's cool if she dyed her hair too because when I say "natural" I don't actually mean I wanna see grey hair 😂

[@diamcole]

The way Uche tore into her was super unsettling to me. I'll be honest, I don't date people with any history of infidelity but deciding you want to stop a potential connection and going on some condescending ramble while you're on some imagined high horse is completely uncalled for. Smh I'm glad Aaliyah walked out on him, wish she would have maintained that energy and not tried to meet with him. Man is an ass.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

So it turned out there were actually five couples this season. One couple broke up after Mexico and the other made it all the way to the alter but no one knows for sure why they were edited out of the show. The woman from the couple that made it to the wedding - Renee - was shown at the event in season 7 and at the bridal fitting but they edited it to make it seem like she was just there as one of the other girls' guests. Renee said in an interview that she thinks she knows why her story was cut from the show and kind of alluded to the idea that her fiance was kind of abusive. There's also a rumor that the fiance threatened production with sue of side if they air their story. Renee is also married now which people also think is the real reason her relationship was edited out. It's believed that she was married before the show aired but she said she met her now-husband a couple of months after filming and they got married a couple of months after that. The other couple from Mexico was edited out because there's currently a lawsuit against the production team for not protecting one of the people in the couple when she was SA'd by the fiance. This whole season is a huge mess.

[@issa2110]

After watching the interview Aaliyah did yesterday, it’s even more wild how he responded to her about the cheating convo. Aaliyah said things were cut out in the convo and the full story wasn’t even explained, the dude she cheated on was cheating on her for years from her account so it was a toxic relationship. She said more context was given. Knowing there was a lot more context told to him and he reacted that way is just wild

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

Oh so he felt she was the type to get her lick back? As a cheater and a hypocrite he wanted to break her

[@LastSithUnicorn]

That makes it wild that she claimed to still love him. Like girl! You gave him all the context and he STILL responded that way?! I would’ve never spoken to him again

[@issa2110]

@@LastSithUnicorn and if what he is saying from his account is correct, they apparently both agreed in the pods to leave and date outside the show, idk it also looks like production was trying to spin stuff a certain way and left a lot of scenes out, even the extra stuff Lydia was saying to her, she said on the show that Lydia told her they both talked about how going on the show would benefit him and his business and how they discussed going on the show beforehand.

[@meganchambers8108]

So when Johnnie says she has a history of both picking the unsafe AND safe guy -- I don't think she is actually being untruthful. - Her first and only love (as she describes) was an emotionally unavailable and volatile addict. - Then, she married the "safe choice", but was never in love with him. - So she has BOTH a history of choosing the bad guy (for LOVE) AND a history of running to the safe guy after (for SECURITY) I think that SHE just doesn't realize how those two things come across. And I don't think she has done the healing necessary yet for her to be on this show or getting into a marriage.

[@zombieedrea]

This is the take. This also might be why I felt bad for her because I am...similar to her in a lot of ways. (It's def a trauma thing and therapy has definitely helped me with that. Hopefully she goes into therapy if she doesn't already have one. It could help her break that cycle.)

[@EvolianTiger]

This makes a lot of sense, probably just not to Johnie so she didn't articulate it well.

[@SuperJust4girls]

​@@EvolianTigeragree. I feel her lack of articulation is why it got so blown out of the water by Izzy, which made him look really bad to me as viewer

Nah the whole reason JP had such an issue by seeing her with makeup was because he realized that she's not a push over who he can emotionally use and abuse. His first lines were immediate emotional abuse saying "he's afraid she'll leave him". He knew she'd be too confident to fall for it, tested the water if she'd fall for it, and then went full emotional neglect ghosting in a last attempt for control

[@truzle6133]

That's a nonsensical take, totally unsupported by any actions or words. We have no reason to believe he's lying. It's possible to just not be attracted to someone when they so drastically change their appearance with make-up/eye lash extensions/hair dye and product, from what can naturally occur. People can have preferences. And he even said, she could do what she wanted, but he just wasn't attracted to that look. If he thought she was out of his league, why would he not have jumped at the opportunity to have sex with her as it is pretty obvious she would have been receptive? Did you see the way he kissed her? He is just not attracted to her.

[@SEOshogun]

I think it's interesting that you don't see Izzy's toxicity by episode 7. The way he asked Johnny to choose him and then dumped her after she did choose him. Needing further validation from Lydia so he dumped her again in person in Mexico. The way he lied to Stacey about his finances until the day before the wedding. The way he attacked Johnny 2 weeks after he dumped her for something that had nothing to do with him. He's every bit as toxic as Uche

It's like if the whole events of Uche & Lydia's relationship really played out the way it did (Uche cheating on Lydia) as she says....why the HELL was Lydia gassing Aaliyah up to stay with him XD??? Like That's some messy "Friend behavior". It honestly feels like she just wanted to set Aaliyah up to fuck with Uche (if he did cheat on him) but also I might have forgotten but like...when the heck did they break up? Cuz if it was far in the past, that meant those 2 hooked up after their broke up those 2 months ago which is like....MY GOD. I would NEVER have a one-night with my ex who cheated on me (which is why either Lydia made up the thing about Uche cheating on her or she.....has some SUPER low-ball standards for getting some dick).

Izzy probably lives in his mom’s basement. Everything was phony about him, even the four guys at the wedding who were posing as his friends. They were likely paid actors. That decor on the Airbnb was terrible. There’s no way a misogynistic guy like Izzy would’ve had that hideous fake flower arrangement on the wall. It was obviously an Airbnb and his bin of women’s bobby pins, earrings, rings etc. had serial killer vibes. If I were Stacy, my first thought would have been to be afraid of him. Lastly, Stacy calling “exotic” was mildly racist and had a white supremacist vibe. That’s my two cents.

Uche is a cheater if I’ve ever heard one.

I think the thing about Izzy & Stacy “lost & found” debacle is that Izzy is used to women WANTING him because he’s a highly sought after man (bc of looks). Him leaving the lost and found drawer to show Stacy (unprovoked I might add) was his way of bragging like “look! I get b*tches! You should be honored that I picked you” and Stacey is a smart girl and knew that’s why he left it to show her and she was unimpressed because Stacy has her sh*t together and knows she’s a catch! She’s just been unlucky at love so far. I actually sided with her in that argument. I don’t think she was judgemental at all.

37:37 People tend to look for partners that loved us the way our parents did. Given what Johnnie has said about her mother. How she's judgmental of her and emotionally unavailable, that's what love feels like to Johnnie. It's supposed to hurt. It's supposed to be unobtainable. You're supposed to come second to drugs or other women. But intellectually she knows that's insane, so she tries to get with good guys because that's what she's supposed to do, but that doesn't feel right to her. That doesn't feel like love. She gets bored. She needs the drama, the chaos, the pain. It's what she believes she deserves. People think she was playing a game and contradicting herself about her patterns. But she wasn't. Both patterns hold true. Izzy is her new crackhead ex and Chris is her ex-husband, the guy she's supposed to be with, but can't love because he doesn't abuse her. And the reason she's so good at off the cuff pick me speeches is because she pursues her own rejection. The less a guy is willing to invest in her, the more she's gonna want him.

@@goranisacson2502 Therapy helps. Like Johnnie can recognize her pattern, but there is a difference between knowing something intellectually and feeling differently about it. She needs to view herself as worthy before she can be comfortable with someone like Chris. As long as she thinks she's not good enough, anyone treating her with respect is gonna feel off to her. But once she does the work and loves herself, someone who acts like Izzy will disgust her as much as it does Stacy.

I came up with the theory that Johnie was telling the truth to both Izzy and Chris. I think she has a history with "exciting" men which I connected to be her late ex-boyfriend, and "stable" men which I connected to be her ex-husband. I think she's had history with both types and she likes the "excitement" of a toxic relationship, but has previously settled for "stability". She only spoke about two relationships, so from that, I just inferred that its a 50-50 shot of her history being both "exciting" and safe

[@CiaoColeG]

I thought she lied too, but now I'm thinking she was confused, trying to sort it out, and desperately trying to save any connection. The biggest problem I have with Johnnie is her telling Izzy she is NOT in love with Chris, that he would always regret it if they didn't leave together, and then a half second after he dumps her she runs to Chris, begs him to be with her, and calls Izzy emotionally unavailable. Plus, all that trash talk in the women's quarters was mean. I don't think she is able to really care about either man because she doesn't even like herself.

[@TheDisell]

my read was just that Johnie warped her perceptions to make Izzy fit the "healthy choice" box because he was more exciting/her old patterns. then after he dumped her the haze was lifted and she was like oh fuck Izzy is the type I used to go for..Chris was the healthy choice after all.

[@art.thomas]

@@CiaoColeG oh, I have PLENTY of problems with Johnie 😂😂😂 I’m not defending her character (in how it’s presented in the show). Her saying she wasn’t in love with Chris was VILE. No defending that. Because it implies she was in love with Izzy. I just think she took her two truths, that she prefers “exciting”/“safe”, and shared it as the truth then new information was given to her. Maybe being rejected by Izzy made her remember the times she was rejected and reminded her she needed the safer option. Idk about her ability to love herself, but the show definitely portrays her as insecure and a hater, so I see where you got that conclusion. I had this theory that I didn’t hear anyone anyone talking about and wanted to share 🤗

[@CiaoColeG]

@art.thomas Yeah, that does make sense.

[@davinasanchez6944]

This is the correct take; it seemed so obvious watching it. I don't necessarily blame the people *on* the show for being confused, because they are in a very intense and confusing environment. But I am baffled that the people watching it at home are not getting this - media literacy people, honestly! Critical thinking! Just because Izzy is saying 'Johnnie is saying contradictory things!' doesn't mean that you have to take his word for it - you watched the show too! I don't think she even said 'I always go for the safe choice' - that was Izzy's interpretation! I'm pretty sure she talked about having sometimes chosen partners (specifically her ex-husband) because they were the 'safe choice', despite not being in love with them. That's not inherently incompatible with her having a pattern of choosing unsafe and emotionally unavailable men. The way I interpreted it was that she tends to choose unavailable and unsafe men, and she has reacted to that in the past by going with the 'safe' choice even if she's not completely happy doing that. In the pods, she seemed like she was wrestling with which 'path' to follow - Do I go with my gut instinct (unavailable man who my heart tells me to chase) or my more measured response (safe man who I like but I'm not sure I'm falling in love with)? Is there maybe a middle ground? Should I make more of an effort to truly open my heart to the 'safe' man and see whether that leads to love? Johnnie's most obvious fault isn't that she's a liar - it's that she is way too honest and unfiltered to the point of coming across as tactless and insensitive at times (e.g., openly calling Chris her number 2), and sometimes being unable to control her emotions (e.g., going off about Stacy when she found out that Izzy wanted Stacy not her). I also think she was pretty honest with Chris too, and it seemed like she meant everything she said to him - even if the way she felt wasn't always consistent over time and wasn't always logical or sympathetic.

I agree, the whole Lydia being a stalker story doesn’t make sense or at least there is a lot that was left out. Like the friends, why do they care that she is looking through their stories to the point that they tell Uche it’s creepy? They must know who Lydia is and how she is attached to Uche, so it’s not some stranger. She didn’t continuously contact them, in fact it seems that she didn’t contact them at all so why are they bothered? Are these friends people he know in real life or just people he follow? And he specifically said it was female friends, so that adds to the he may have been cheating and Lydia was trying to find out theory. Also also, if lydia’s behavior genuinely concerned you, why are you talking about how great of a person she is? You don’t have to trash talk her either, but you could bring up her “stalking” in a respectful way to warn Aaliyah and Milton if it was such a big deal. Idk it was like once Aaliyah left, all of a sudden Lydia’s crazy lol. I’m not condoning everything Lydia has done, like she definitely has issues with other people’s boundaries, but it definitely seems like Uche is exaggerating to make himself look better.

I think if I was ready to get married to a guy, and he had a “lost and found” for hookups and no dishes, it would be a red flag. I really like a man to be considerate, and it seems like throwing out stuff from people you don’t care about and will never see again is THE easiest way to show that you’re done with anyone from the past and ready for me to come into your life. Like how did he overlook that? And you can’t handle ever washing a dish, but you’re responsible and ready enough for a whole marriage? Seems very weird to me.

[@emilyau8023]

I mean I seem to not think like what some of yall think like cause I didn't see it as a big deal. Keeping things just in case someone wants it back is not a bad thing. Using paper plates cause as a single person you don't want to wash them also not much of a bad thing. Him not cleaning up those things before going on the show at the least shows he doesn't plan in advance. Literally I do not see any of what some of you find an issue. I could not put up with someone being that privileged and insecure in my apartment. I don't have enough patience to put up with a spoiled brat like he did. He didn't even reject the changes she complained about. He is willing to change for her. It's human to not know something is odd until you are told about it.

My only thing is like, if someone leaves something at your place, and they never come back for it, its normal to hold onto it in case someone else wants to take it?

I dont think its that weird so long as he was not INTENTIONALLY leaving things there to send some type of message. But i really dont read that from the situation.

[@Cat-hz7yd]

​@@kdog8658I think it depends on the time and how you frame it. Sure, people hold on to things and accumulated shit, but you don't need to keep the necklace from your hook up from 3 years ago. The way he presented the lost&found came off as 'trophy' vibes to me, and I think it came off that way to her, which is why she freaked. Same with the plates. I'm not saying you need fancy shit, but you can get plastic plates from Walmart for 50 cents. It IS a bit weird to be pushing 30 and not have any sort of pcutlery in your home, imo. Both show a level of immaturity to me that I would find distasteful.

[@FloatingInSpace5702]

I know people will disagree but I think Johnie was actually the most self-aware. The fact that she so openly discussed her shortcomings in her previous relationships and was able to detect that she fell back into a pattern (albeit, a little too late) makes me think she has actually done work on herself. She has faults and she’s aware of her faults, maybe even too much so, where she self sabotages. I also don’t think she lied to Chris and Izzy and what she said to them made sense to me. Anyways I was happy to see someone who is messy, who has relationship trauma work through those issues in real time. Aware this could be a hot take.

[@Izzyizvbizzy]

No I felt the same way. As someone who tends to say stuff in the heat of the moment and then take a step back, and realize I totally worded it wrong, I related to her mix up. I truly think she said it wrong, took a step back, realized the opposite, and went through. The way izzy kept trying to attack her and get into her bfs ear. Hated Izzy. Johnie wasn’t perfect but I feel like she was way better then a lot of the other people this season (particularly Stacy. Stacy seemed like such a pick me ngl and it was triggering to see how she disguised it as just being “chill”)

[@finessek2431]

I thought so too! I feel like Johnie is just misunderstood. She's not perfect of course, but not that bad either

[@NickaLah]

Nah, I agree. People calling her vile are really quick to judge, if anything Chris was pretty subdued in his interest of her that I could see why she was surprised when he was upset she broke it off. I don't think she'ss perfect, but Izzy twisted her words and seemed to enjoy sabotaging her chances with Chris. If anything, she was almost too honest and probably should've given Chris more time before breaking it off. But again, she genuinely seemed taken aback that he cared for her that much.

That nonsense at the meet up with the rest of the cast in ep 7 was ridiculous. He showed up with the intent to ruin Lydia's fun or whatever. He didn't even talk /hangout with any of the guys, just straight to the drama.

[@Lucaz99]

@@MsDarksenacould be he was trying to get back at Lydia for messing up his relationship with Aaliyah. Which is childish but some people don’t deal to good with emotions. He probably gonna excuse it as “I was looking out for my boy Milton and the truth” not matter what the truth is though. It could be black and white as you said but everything they say is so cryptic and sometimes contradictory. That tells me both sides seem to be lying to save some face. So it’s hard to really get to the actual things that happened.

[@MsDarksena]

@@Lucaz99 that was on my mind as well. Petty revenge because he didn't get 'his' pick. It could definitely be the driving force for what he did that episode.

there actually were 2 other couples that got engaged but their storylines both were cut in the edit. one couple was Renee and Carter and we don’t have a confirmed reason for them being cut, but we know their story was followed and they made it to the altar. but the other couple was Tran and Thomas, and Tran has since come forward to accuse Thomas of SA and sue Kinetic Content for negligence.

The production shares sensitive information yet they aren’t even honest with viewers about cutting people out entirely, which would literally take one title card to say we have had to remove these people due to breach of contract or whatever reason and let us accept it instead of being treated like clueless viewers. Drag Race did it well once Sherry Pie was excluded post filming and everyone moved on happily

I heard it's because some SA and abuse happened with the couples they cut out, and that production may have not helped the victims much. (This happened during filming I think)

They cut couples every season. And with the lawsuit, they'd definitely have been told to not comment on it more than necessary. It is a bit odd that the other couple they followed was never addressed, but if the couple themselves hasn't come out and said anything, there might be a very good reason to not talk about it. Given the circumstances, I don't think it's surprising that they don't want to bring extra attention to the bts happenings

[@TheBirdsong3107]

Ooooo I think I realized watching this why jhonnie had her sights on izzy so hard. It's because he gave her something/someone to compete with. Izzy was a hot commodity in the pods with multiple girls after him. Being that the one love she had was with an addict, she likely spent all of that relationship essentially competing with his addiction. Trying to fight to get him to choose her over his vice. Now shes conditioned herself that love isn't real if she's not in a battle to keep it.

[@somethingelse4204]

When Uche started ripping into Aaliyah, I was absolutely gobsmacked that she let him read her the riot act. I've never cheated on a partner, but if I had, no way is the next person I date going to act like something I did in a past relationship anything for them to scold me about. UM NO. I'm all for owning it when you're wrong, but she hadn't wronged Uche. She was honest with him which was such a green flag for growth. And then he thought he had the right to just tear her down to the ground. I would have shut that man down so fast!

[@GopherCakeStuff]

No you're not crazy. The fact he slept with her 3 months ago and never brought it up to another girl he wants to date makes me side eye any accusations he has. Lydia being extremely emotional makes me think it was pretty easy for Uche to pull her back in at times even when their relationship was over cause when he's speaking to her later, telling her to explain to him why he's upset makes me feel he's emotionally manipulated her before. Lets not forget how he spoke to Aliyah when he found out she cheated once. He's controlling and manipulative. He will never "be on the wrong" and makes other people feel crazy for being upset at him.

[@GopherCakeStuff]

Also he's probably the one who made her insecure if she did go looking through other people's profiles or went by his house to check if he was where he said he was at some point because he seems like a serial liar and cheater to me. I do not believe the story he only did it once at 19. It sounds like a set up for having the higher ground in a relationship so your partner will feel crazy for distrusting you later. Any emotion he displays is in an attempt to manipulate. I don't sense a genuine bone in that man's body.

I struggled with thoughts like this for the longest time, I even told my therapist that I would not be able to fall in love with a healthy and caring man, that my brain was wired in a way that only problematic and abusive relationships attracted me, gave me that rollercoaster high I was chasing. It was the worst thing I ever had to verbalize about myself. I thought there was something wrong with me, something unfixable. I'm glad I was wrong and I hope that more people are able to appreciate partners like Chris and just get out of their own way in order to be happy.
