So we can all agree the Jessika/Dan affair and collateral damage to Mark and Ning’s marriage has gone too far on MAFS this week.
And now, we want nothing more than to see Jessika pls leave.
Well, she hasn’t, but tonight she was finally called out… by Mansplaining Mike, of all people.
*Insert intense eyeroll*
Of course the all-knowing Mike took it upon himself to right wrongs that have literally nothing to do with him.
We never thought we’d say this, but there’s a right way and a wrong way to tell someone their fake television affair is tearing the experiment apart.
…And Mike’s extremely condescending approach tonight is not it.
We’re certainly not minimising the fact that Jessika has done the wrong thing, but Mike’s attack on her looks, personality and intellect with the patronising way in which he spoke to her, were, to quote the experts (who seem to have been blind to Mike’s terrible personality for two months) “hard on Jess, not hard on the issue”.
Not to mention it was… in front of everyone, and in classic Mike style, he barely Jess get a word in to explain herself.
It was as though he was just itching for a fight under the guise of helping his buddy Mark and we are really struggling to find anyone we don’t hate in this season of MAFS.

Do we all get that we actually don't know Mike...at all? That this is a heavily (and maliciously IMO) manipulated and produced show? I find the discussions around the MAFS characters bizarre. We know that much of it is staged and sometimes edited beyond all context so why do we take the characters so seriously? To me it's almost equivalent to demanding Christian Bale go to jail for chopping up all those women in American Psycho.
Just like everyone in the world, the people on these shows have flaws. Sometimes these flaws are magnified when the producers want to create the drama. That's it. There are some things I like about Mike, there are some things I don't....from what I see in this heavily manipulated show. There is no way I feel like I am in a position to judge him fully. In saying that, I just find all these opinion pieces weird and kind of stupid.
