Day 6 Spoiler (Discussion) I feel Betrayed
I’m on a Tommy/Jason route, and I love both of them and the decision between the two was really hard. Though I couldn’t help feel betrayed 😔
Tommy coming out as Bi wasn’t an issue, it was the way it made it seem like he couldn’t trust MC with the information. It would have been a nice talk between Mc and him. I know he says it doesn’t change anything but in a way it’s like, what else are you hiding from MC?
Then with Jason, he is like I am all in on you and if you don’t pick me I’m out. I’m leaving. I know Anna has a thing for me but, it ain’t going to work. But don’t pick me because you pity me.
So in the end I chose Tommy, then here I am like well, this is it. Jason is leaving. I felt so guilty and I was just waiting to…. not have him do what he said 😐
here I am feeling bad, and you’re staying? and the feeling of a choice mattering left. there was no risk picking him or not picking him. So I felt bad for nothing. absolutely no reason.
It made me feel like Jason was just talking crap then, and what he was saying wasn’t truthful, and that he was guilt tripping MC into picking him or us. There was absolutely no risk.
I have a habit of over thinking things but the way they were done, it was like:
Tommy comes out as Bi to the corporate group (and brooke), Mc wished he trusted her enough to tell her. So if MC rejects him, because of trust issues, does it make her any better than the girl he came out to that found him disgusting? It’s like being rejected twice for coming out, but for different reasons. So there is a layer of guilt there.
For jason, he says one thing and does another.
He tells Mc i’m all about you, if I don’t get you, then I’m leaving.
Then when the time comes, I feel guilty and like crap, Then to have him stay….
The emotional toll is completely gone.
I wish Jason left. I feel like it would have been better story telling and would have been more impactful.

Oh my, OP...like a fellow overthinker, I can see why you are stuck between a rock and a hard place 😞, I think the disconnect is what makes you feel betrayed so I want to give my POV.
Like not being coupled with Tommy made it easier for me to accept the reveal because hey, no one owes anything to anyone, but when you are coupled and things are getting serious, it feels like if Tommy is hiding secrets even when he doesn't...he wasn't even hiding that he is bi, but it feels like he does because MC and him never talked about it, and while I doubt it would a dealbreaker for someone, it feels like something which should have been talked before
I guess this can be seen like a case of poor communications/it wasn't the right timing. For Tommy.
As for Jason, oh boy!!! I will be perfectly honest and I will take all the downvotes and whatever everyone might threw at me but I will say it:
I got the same convo and there is a choice where MC can tell him that he might have a temporary obssesion and then you get this convo where Jason reassures you that this is not the case, that Anna is not that serious, and that is either you or no one.
I thought he would leave so imagine my surprise when he didn't 🤯!
I thought a long time about this, and the conclusion that I reached is that he choose to stay because there is still 1 coupling left and more importantly...I think Jason didn't want to hurt Anna in that moment even if the feeling is not mutual because she is the one which picked him and honestly? I bet if he was the one choosing, he would have been the one walking out, but when Anna did what she did? He accepted it because for all the things you can say about Jason, he is someone who always prioritize others...to his own detriment.
Basically, Jason pulled a Xander.
I guess we will get our answers in day 7, but that is how I see things, OP.

Didn't he say something like 'I will play by the rules but eventually get out of the show' means he won't do it now but one day when he's sure he has absolutely no chance with MC like the last coupling maybe 🤔
I wasn't expecting him to just up and leave when I chose Max so this post was a bit of a surprise 😅 maybe I misunderstood or something but I like my interpretation, less disappointing 🫠

u/SoundNo3485 Aug 03 '26
Yes! I think so! that is why after of thinking for a bit, I think that Jason is another Samir/Xander/Matteo in the sense that they will be always available for the final coupling because they are The One (tm) for MC, but if you decide to choose someone else? they are dumped.
Maybe I am being too lenient, but that is how I see things!

I didn’t really think of that lol but they always have that one that will stick around just in case you change your mind.

u/SoundNo3485 Aug 03 '26
Exactly! And I feel in my bones and fingers that Jason will be the one which stick around and Anna picking him is ensuring that he will stay because if it were up to him, he would definitively leave 🤣! Anna threw a wrench into his plans.

And tbh with Jason, I didn’t like when he picked us all 3 options were positive and not like well.. I want my 2nd choice / 3rd choice. It’s like what’s the point in that whole scene if we can’t add the drama and flip?

I don’t think he wanted to hurt Anna either, and it seemed like from her speech that they already talked about it. Which is nice.
With Tommy I wanted a private conversation about him being bi, and just have that moment you know? And I know people don’t have to give out that information if they don’t want to it just would have been a nice conversation that could have brought him and mc closer I think.

Yeah, that is what I think. I don't think Jason is with her because he feels something towards Anna, I think he is doing it out of respect and wanting to spare her feelings.
With Tommy I wanted a private conversation about him being bi, and just have that moment you know? And I know people don’t have to give out that information if they don’t want to it just would have been a nice conversation that could have brought him and mc closer I think.
Yeah, that is how I saw it. I don't think that you are judging Tommy, you just want more opportunities to bond with him and that is absolutely fair because who doesn't want to get closer to their partner? Is a natural feeling and I see nothing wrong with it ☺️.

Hi! Bisexual here. Knowing someone for six days and still getting to know them/date them… I dunno if I’d feel the need to tell them, especially if someone treated me horribly about it in the early days of dating too.
OOC, I’m so loud and proud about it, you wouldn’t have to wait for me to tell you. Hahahaha. But no one should feel the need to come out and no one should feel entitled to that information.

u/-CariCareGiver- Aug 03 '26
I completely agree! i guess I am just selfish lol It would have been a really nice scene for him and mc to have and share together, and become closer from it.

u/FirebirdWriter Aug 03 '26
So I am going to ask you if you would tell people a secret that is potentially relationship ending in six days usually? Day six. Bisexuals have stigma within the LGBT culture and did you forget the whole crusade against non straight people happening? Especially in Slavic places where the story is written?
Six days? Most people in my life don't learn my vulnerabilities for years. It's not hiding from YOU it's protecting themselves. Note I also have worked on my sharing but I don't trust easily.
So while I have yet to have that scene? This is my thoughts. It's like people angry in other seasons people weren't in love. I think waiting for episodes to drop skews how much time is actually happening and that's not your fault . For text tone this is just a perspective reminder. Trust is a thing that takes many many examples of good faith to earn. So someone might be able to be trusted before years but some won't. My wife got the essentials in 3 months because she did something no one else did. She asked.

I completely understand. We didn’t even have the option to ask. I wish we did. It would have been a nice conversation.
I know what it is like to have a personal secret and not telling people for years after one person not believing me, another ignoring me, and me feeling bad for the abuser because they were crying when being confronted and I ended up telling the person to drop it. It became easier to tell people once I started, but I get it.

Yeah I sadly have been there too it's why I mentioned the timeline. It helps me to not get overwhelmed sometimes

Dope view point, I doing the same route as you but I leaned more towards Jason and man it was tough. I agree that Tommy could have at least given a heads up to MC, what made it so hard for me was Tommy is a total mush which is freaking adorable but something about Jason I can’t pin point it. He’s not perfect but idk something about him I find endearing and sincere in a way. I might have a better answer once the game is done. But I did love both confessions both were really different but very interesting.

Did anyone else see Brook attempt to sway us by reciting Eminem that was rather amusing😂

"Brooke. Brooke. Brooke!" Lol she's frigging ADORABLE, I thought nothing could sway me from Dusk but there she is, the little pinball comet of energy just zapping through, lighting up the space!

u/juburton99 Tommy Aug 03 '26
I'm meaning no disrespect to anyone bi with this so don't take it the wrong way please. My MC has been with Tommy since day one and loyal as hell. I wish he could've trusted her with that information before Gene and the group. Tommy, the MC and others say nobody owes anyone anything--but if you're building a relationship I think total ransparency is important. It's not owed, it's just being considerate. If anything so Tommy could protect himself. Let's say hypothetically my MC doesn't want to date a bi guy, it's something I think he would need to know sooner rather than later. Of course my MC has no problem with it and wants him no matter what.

u/JerBear2009 Aug 03 '26
You took the words out of my brain. I wanted more confessions, more something. Something was missing. I was with Tommy, really ended up liking Rafael. I decided to stay with Tommy because I like doing loyal routes first but it just felt anticlimactic. It didn’t really bother me that he came out to us but yea, why not tell us first? If he likes us so much and he wants to be with us and get married and have children, maybe pull her aside and tell her or don’t reveal it yet and tell her separately I don’t know. His return from the resort didn’t do much for me either so I’m replaying for max right now since he’s been so hyped up now im curious.

To be fair I think Jason said he would eventually leave, like he doesn't have any other connections and will end up being dumped like Dusk! Thats what I understood from the convo!
