My predictions were: Yoly and Xander together - and everyone else going home solo.

Honest reactions to decision day: Stoked Yoly chose Mal, because Mal is insanely awesome. And so is Yoly.

I yelled NOOOOO when Tiff proposed, and when when Sam said 'yes' to Aussie.

So fucking relieved and proud that Xander did NOT pick Vanessa.

Did NOT fucking like how Yoly showed up without her ring on and let Xander pour her heart out like that because she "wanted to hear where Xander was at". Hard situation and a self-centered move. It doesn't matter where Xander was at, you'd already made a choice.

I realize now that Yoly is selfish in that particular way.

When Mal would say how hard Yoly's situation was and "I am going to support my partner", I kept waiting for Yoly to chime in with something about supporting Mal, but I think she was too absorbed in her own experience.

Xander and Mal are fucking iconic. Such solid, loving, generous humans.

Sort of neutral on Lexi and Rae. Glad they both proposed to each other... Didn't love how Lexi laid into Rae, and bullied her when shit was hard.

Reunion Reactions:

Mildred: - I got in a friendly debate with my housemate after the scenes with Aussie and Mildred. I said "I grew up with someone talking to me like [Mildred] and I would have walked out too." I thought Aussie bouncing in THAT circumstance was healthy and legit. - The way Mildred talked about her domestic violence towards Tiff and then cited Tiff not opening a bank account or connecting with her kid as justification... Nah! Where there is smoke there is fire. Where there is physical abuse there is psychological abuse. And that is what abusive people do. They tell you that the violence they do to you is your fault. - She seemed to have NO self-awareness about how effed up the situation was. Despite being so violent that Tiff called the cops, she was still crowing about being a victim?! - I'm sure it was unhealthy all around but nothing absolutely nothing excuses trying to harm a partner like that. - I think Tiff kept it classy all things considered. They tried to push back, didn't stoop low or call Mildred names or any of that, and then left when it was too much. - Also, Mildred's comment about the eyeliner?? I was like "Babe, you're literally wearing it right now..." also, wasn't there a scene with her doing her eye make-up in the show. Slippery slippery stuff like that makes my danger bells blare.

Vanessa: - Matured a teeeeeny tiny bit, but not much. Still tried to stir up drama when there isn't any and then doesn't get it when people are calling her on being manipulative.

Mal and Yoly: - "Happily broken up." Ouch! Coming from Mal that hit. - Bummed to hear that Yoly was hiding behind partial truths with Mal like that. - I was so impressed with Mal's fierce trust, and that's definitely who she is, but if Yoly was sending her unsolicited messages reassuring her that she was her pick, it makes it make more sense. - Mal came out of this season looking like such a legend. I'm such a huge fan.

Sam: - Get out!!! She is so amazing, patient, mature, compassionate, and Kind. She deserves better than a partner who keeps her in the closet. She deserves to be wildly chosen and celebrated.

Aussie: - Hope they're getting the therapy and support they need.

Rae and Lexi: - Feel neutral about them

Xander: - Respectful til the end. Things didn't work out with Yoly but they they didn't say anything against her. I wish them the fucking world! I hope they find happiness.
