MAFS episode 10

My MAFS season 10, episode 10 recap:

The group went cooking class on this weeks stupid outing…they chopped, sauted and sat down afterwards to taste their work. They discussed their living situations and everyone started to grill (no pun intended) Zach on his decision to live separately. Zach attempts to explain it in some weird riddle type of way, and noone is buying it. They inquire about Taylor and Brandon, and Meka spills the tea, telling everyone about Taylor’s video. They all chit chat about their crappy relationships, except Austin and Jessica, because they actually like each other.

Brandon & Taylor :
Sergeant Pepper sits down with Brandon and Taylor to try to make them save their crappy relationship. Taylor claims that her video was not directed at Brandon, which of course is not true….
Brandon has pulled his fair share of crap in their short time being married.
Taylor sits down with friends to beat the dead horse that is her marriage. Her good looking man friend said Brandon is an idiot (he said it, not me…ok I said it too), and from everything else he’s saying, it sounds like he should just date her.
Brandon meets up with his friend to discuss the Taylor situation and talk smack. He feels like Taylor is in the wrong (which, she was) but doesn’t understand why she wouldn’t just be over all of the drama from the honeymoon and go back to being sweet Mrs. Reeeeeid. Hopefully they won’t be on tonight!

Mindy & Zach:
Last week it seemed like M & Z were at least having a fun hang out, but Mindy said Zach disappeared at midnight like Cinderella (womp, womp).
Dr. Pepper comes over to try and coerce the couple into liking each other, because shes probably about to get fired. They flashback to Zach, pre marriage, talking circles in his tank top about how he’d fight for his marriage, even if he wasn’t attracted initially to his wife. “Well ya know, basically when you’re matched there’s a reason and circumstances given, to therewithin the avenue you’re travelling…..” he sounds like my car insurance renewal form.
Mindy explains she likes Zach but feels like he pretty obviously doesn’t want to be married and she feels stupid staying in this. Dr. Pepper lays into Zach and his intentions and his complete lack of commitment to the process. In her infinite wisdom, she suggests the only logical thing for these people who don’t really like each other to do; go to Tantric Yoga.
They awkwardly sat on top of each other, gazing into each other’s eyes. Mindy felt a connection, while Zach was probably thinking about constructing his next dumb sentence.
The previews for tonight look really juicy and I’m excited.

Jessica & Austin:
J & A decide to bake cookies together, how wholesome. They seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company and make jokes (which cause jessica to do the awful laugh). I’m happy they’re getting along, but also, not much going on here.
They pull out a sexy spin wheel game and we watch them awkwardly makeout and give each other lap dances and body shots until they finally just ask for privacy.

Katie & Derek:
Katie and Derek were switching up mac and cheese and making omelettes for breakfast, but doing it all wrong. I think the experts made the cooking class activity just for them. Later on,
Derek bought Katie flowers and put together a diy paint night for their contrived date. They decided on painting the same subject matter, Katie’s dog Jackson, before these two little Picassos dined on – you guess it! Mac and cheese!(Dr pepper should’ve saved her money on cooking class).
Next up is a game of sexy jenga. They cuddled, asked each other personal questions, and then Katie confessed she likes to be man handled. Derek pulls a Tarzan move and carries her off to the bedroom. Jenga!

Michael & Mela:
Michael and Meka are acting all weird again, shocker. Michael feels Meka isnt open enough, and she keeps yelling at him until he just shuts down. He leaves Meka alone eating her oatmeal, only to come back in 5 minutes later (he was probably meditating in the hallway).
He can now articulate that he hates mekas hand gestures, and thinks she comes at him too hard. She tells Michael that she hates when he leaves during fights….well this is going well.
Later on, Michael and Meka sit down to Korean Bbq and of course, Michael has some splainin’ to do. Apparently they were supposed to go do yoga where Michael teaches, but no one had ever heard of him there and they missed the class. Michael doesn’t fight with Meka about the subject, he fights with her about the way she fights and then shuts down while she goes at him like a rabid chihuahua. Meka dished on her marital problems to Taylor of all people, who probably told her to make a video about it for Instagram.
Dr Salt N Peppa comes over to discuss all of the fighting. Meka reveals that Michael is a liar liar pants on fire, while he tries to explain his side. He basically admitted to Doc Pep (who was wearing the weirdest green ball necklace…it looked like a Christmas ornament on a chain) that he has lied, and he’s adopted (we know) and that he’s scared of being rejected.
Once again, they were pushed into trying to work it out by doing more stupid activities. They blind folded each other and asked questions, aka meka interrogated him with note cards. Meka confessed she likes to swim with dolphins internationally, which was really random. The blind fold seemed to help their communication and Meka actually smiled.
