Totally agree. I think both Rebecca and Bryce were both chosen to cause conflict to gain TV ratings. Patrick started the arguments initially with Sam and continues to goad Bryce each time they all come together. The experts did not chastise Sam for sniggering and laid the blame at Bryce’s door. Rececca sniggers too when Bryce defends himself. She knows exactly what she’s doing. Playing the victim. Don’t buy it. She fancies Bryce. Jake she’s not the right person for you. The group as a whole are now bullying and ostracising Bryce and Melissa. Stop initiating the same argument over and over and focus on your other halves.

I was in an abusive relationship and recognise that Bryce and Melissa are good together.

I don’t think she will be able to say it because Jason will go mad again🤷🏼‍♀️ Unfortunately it’s too late for Melissa 😩

I agree!! They are both horrible!

Yes he is a narcissist-I think the experts should step in. Not to give him advice because he would never believe there is anything wrong with him, but to get Melissa out of his clutches! She’s gonna need serious help 🥺

Honestly I am so glad that somebody else has picked up on and mentioned this. Melissa looks like she is really struggling. It is obvious that Bryce is being abusive towards her.. he is emotionally manipulating her and she hasn’t got even the slightest clue. Bryce has segregated Melissa from the group so that she doesn’t have anybody to support her that is going through the same experience that she is. To write leave and then claim it was an attempt to ‘protect her’ is just absolute horse shit. I am really shocked that the producers let it go on for as long as it did. I know they’re [the producers] are after ratings but fucking hell this is taking it a bit far.

Im sorry for your pain. I agree with you its very obvious Melissa is in an abusive relationship.

Spot on! 100% agree

I have just started episode but couldn’t help nosey .. omg no way she kicks off that he stands up for her??? loooool can’t believe this all occured 5 weeks ago allegedly yet no one told melissa til 4 weeks later. Why didnt she go straight to melissa one on one tell her what happened and leave mel to make her mind up that would have been caring for melissa. not telling everyone else first and having them all talk about her behind her bac and then her finding out from someone else and having to work out who had said what. How embarrassing and hurtful must that have been knowing all your so called friends had been talking about you gossiping for 4 whole wks!! Now keeps adding extra bits of info to story! Funny how she now says she is done !! Melissa has ben asking her for wks to stop yet she thins she has come to this decision herself. She is so deluded!!

I agree. Rebecca is a master manipulator. She knows exactly what game she is playing. Her playing the victim when being called a bully, was laughable.
Bryce’s attempt give her a kiss after his faux apology was TOTALLY out of line! How dare he extend anything more than the simple handshake that he offered Jake (however fake it was). What world does he live in to think that was the move to make?! GEEZUS.

Melissa is giving off vibes that are akin to ‘battered wife’ syndrome. Don’t say anything remotely negative about your partner , lest you anger the beast. Been there , done that. She walks on eggshells constantly.

I always seem to comment before I complete the episodes, so now I am off to finish this one. I have been binge watching for a couple of days, here in the USA.

Absolutely couldn’t agree more with all of the above!
Bec is an incredibly cold person but it’s no wonder why after seeing the way her mother interacted with Jake on the cinema trip. One minute she agrees with Jake standing up for her and then the next minute ‘he’s stooping to Bryce’s level’ which is a pretty low blow and a bold statement. Melissa I feel at this point is being emotionally manipulated by Bryce, he has segregated her away from the rest of the group thus removing any possible support network for her through the experiment. Her evident abandonment issues are causing her to accept the behaviour displayed by Bryce and therefore pandering to his every move in an attempt to prevent him from leaving. Bryce is fully aware of the insecurities that Melissa has and is using it to his advantage to keep at least one person in his corner.
To be honest, I’m really disappointed with this season of MAFS, you can tell the producers have considered ratings to be of a higher priority than creating real connection between two people. By this point in this experiment a lot of couples have left and that’s purely because they weren’t actually matched with somebody they were truly compatible with. Chris and Jaimie, Jo and James, RUSSELL AND BETH I mean come on!
Really hope that next season (if there is one following all the controversy around this season) the producers focus more on real compatibility between people instead of what they think will make for ‘dramatic’ television.

Rebecca is a nasty piece of work, shit stirrer. Feel that Bryce is not being given a chance by the rest of the hyenas

What I can’t understand is why Bec is so invested in Bryce & Melissa’s relationship. Just don’t talk to him–put your energy into their own relationship. So sick of her. Yes Bryce has a problem, but if Melissa is into him, it’s none of their business. Friends support friends and if Melissa changes her feelings about Bryce, then they should be there to support her. That’s all I have to say about this. Bec is a pain.

You fixed it – amazing, thanks!

Yup same problem for me – hoping this won’t result in them skipping out an episode
