For the avid MAFS viewers, if you’re here because you want to know whether or not your MAFS opinions are controversial, I hope you find solace below.
Episode Fifteen: Janelle’s Wrath
Last night’s episode began by rehashing and adding more footage of Claire’s confession to Jesse. Before the annoying recital could become boring, Jesse reentered Tayla and Hugo’s wedding, gesturing for Harrison to follow him outside.
Harrison reacted in enthusiastic support of Jesse when he revealed Claire’s confession. While his quick quips and disapproval of Adam and Claire’s behaviour may have been genuine, given the intimate nature of Harrison’s friendship with Adam (the other cheating spouse), there is room for suspicion that Harrison already knew. But semantics.
The honeymoons of both oddly matched new couples only furthered what was already apparent: both are disaster-drama waiting to happen.
Rupert’s anxiety and inability to form a sentence for his dazzling wife only led him deeper into the hole of being unbearable to watch. While Evelyn attempted to create romantic environments to ignite passion, Rupert built a wall of pillows between them on the bed to avoid temptation with his… wife?
However, with some Dutch courage the following day, Rupert held a semi-normal conversation with Evelyn, confessing that his bumbling behaviour had everything to do with how attractive he found her. This point was evident to everyone except Evelyn.
Tayla and Hugo fared no better. Tayla’s confessed issues with control and always having her way did not budge.
After ordering Hugo to sleep on a cramped couch rather than split the bed 50/50 between them, it became clear she had no interest in changing her ways or displaying empathy to the man she had married.
When Hugo expressed that he was trying to be sensitive in respecting her, he asked her to respect him and if she thought respect between them should go both ways.
“No,” replied Tayla.
However, the real drama unfolded between Jesse and Adam. Jesse approached Adam and Janelle’s shared apartment and asked to speak with him privately, where he prompted Adam as to why he thought he had pulled him aside to talk.
Adam buckled down and revealed nothing. Instead, he attempted to divert the conversation by criticising Jesse’s behaviour. Jesse then said that Claire had confessed to the kiss.
Claire heard the sound of loud voices and entered the apartment, where the stark differences in maturity and ownership of actions between her and Adam were apparent. While Claire made no excuses for her behaviour and apologised, Adam deflected and minimised.
“It was just a stupid drunken kiss,” Adam stated.
The conversation derailed into pointless territory as Adam continued to take no accountability for his actions or apologise.
When Jesse asked if Janelle knew, Adam stated she didn’t and quickly attempted to lose the camera operators as he went to tell Janelle what had happened. Adam clearly intended to have no playback evidence to compare stories. However, the camera operators entered Janelle and Adam’s apartment and filmed as Adam concocted every excuse under the sun for the kiss, refusing to give Janelle the space to react or respond.
Janelle left the apartment in tears and turned to the only person who understood her feelings, Jesse.
After kicking Adam out of their shared apartment, Janelle turned to Melinda and Tahnee, who hyped her up as she shared that she would tear Adam a new one for his actions during the next dinner party, airing tonight.
“I’m going to roast the s- out of him,” said Janelle.
The dinner party is guaranteed to be madness.
