A troublesome habit of mine, to say the least, is when to say no. What can I say? I'm a friend and I love to give. BUT is there more to it then just genuinity? Is it a battle between guilt and gesture? Being friendly or begging for friendship? Trying to fill a void or avoiding what's really goin on inside? Regardless of the origin, I ask myself the question and take a deep dive into seeing what's up with the notion of People Pleasing.

It's been NINE MONTHS since Decision Day, so things MUST have changed amongst the cast right? *Ugh* The internet has been going at Chloe and also she believes one (or more) of the wives have been bad mouthing about her via a fake account. She's also heard rumblings that Lauren was trying to get with Michael (by suggestion of the MAFS internet community) and she wasn't too happy about that. Orion is finally leaving Lauren alone and trying to heal the struggle with himself, Austin finally gives us a reason as to why he never advanced sexually with Becca, the barbie brigade gets matching tattoos and donate their wedding dresses and Michael, Chloe, Austin and his roommate have a double date to bring and end to this very tumultuous season.  I also pull out Card #182 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game.

The gang's all here, albeit different from any other reunion in the history of this show. Why are the seats arranged in a Boys vs Girls fashion? Why are the women wearing pink? Did they just see the Barbie movie? Why does everyone have a scowl on their face ready to pounce on the other at a moment's notice? This season had its fair share of drama, but what gets unraveled here, no one saw coming and this season by far is the most controversial season ever and goes against everything this show stands for.
