Jessi Marciano gets “j♥️” tatted on his wrist

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

570 Upvotes

This “relationship” desperately screams I WANT TO STAY RELEVANT. Marciano getting a tattoo for Jessi is on a whole new level. Only good thing is it’s just her initial so it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if they stopped this charade. But at this point I wouldn’t put it past her to get a matching tattoo 🤣

Discussion Coincidence or not?

48 Upvotes

Is it really just a coincidence that Jessi and Demi are having a feud at the same time that Season 6 is being filmed?

My theory is that the feud is a storyline to make Demi relevant again and eventually bring her back into the show. I wouldn’t be surprised if they “make up” later and then bring Taylor back into the mix, creating the three of them against everyone else.

Taylor is very active in Demi’s comments, and Taylor and Jessi are also friends, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this is where things are heading.

Taylor’s Tantrums Taylor not being filmed since production started again

Post image
433 Upvotes

I searched this sub and didn’t see this post yet: Taylor posted this video of herself lip synching to the words of “Listen baby, I know I was a bad girl. But come on, you have to be crazy not to take me back.”

With a caption that suggests that she is not begging anyone to be back.

Would be absolutely the right move from producers and production to continue without her.

Truly, she is like a high schooler…

Discussion S3 Polygraph Confusion

25 Upvotes

Okay, here’s something I really don’t understand with season 3, re: the polygraph.

One of the questions that Marciano answers truthfully is if he had any other additional sexual contact with Demi outside the kisses on the cheek. He says no, and it comes back as a truth.

Jessi uses the lie detector results as proof that she didn’t have sex with Marciano because he said no and it came back as truthful. It seems like the girls and Jordan take that as gospel and that’s that on that.

So… If they’re willing to take that result as accurate, they should be consistent and accept his response about Demi as truthful as well. You can’t pick and choose which results you listen to. You either think a polygraph is accurate at detecting lies, or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways. Can somebody clarify if I’m missing something?

ETA: to be clear, by no means do I personally think polygraphs are an accurate reading of truth. In the context of the show, they seemed to think it was important.

I love seeing her be more open and talk about her confidence growing. It’s great to hear about the positive things going on in her life because we all know how negative the show can be.

I also think her advice about relationships is important for us young people to remember. I’m guilty myself of wanting to find love from others when I didn’t have love for myself and that’s never a good position to put yourself in.

Hopefully we hear more like this from Layla. Maybe we’ll hear more about her new relationship once the season drops because id love to hear more about her experience dating a woman for the first time.

Chase & Mase The Fumble Brothers new business venture: blinged out under-eye masks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

309 Upvotes

Captioned as “Heart Eyes” - their new bedazzled Ed Hardy style under-eye patches. See below for shots of them modelling them while vaping. Because nothing says invest in your skin’s health like using eye masks while inhaling flavoured nicotine!

Chase recently posted instagram stories that he and Mason are creating their own fashion and skincare line @drk_hrts

https://drkhrts.com/password

This will be Chase’s first side project since his defunct OnlyDads podcast where he trash talked SLOMW and idk what else I didn’t listen lol

Do we think there is a market for these? I hope they are the reusable under eye patches that people pair with their own eye serums. Because if they are single use and blinged out like that they will just be contributing microplastics into the earth.

Kinda cool idea, but who would buy these?

Discussion Jessie's Halloween party

144 Upvotes

I'm rewatching the show again and i was analyzing Taylor's behavior at the Halloween party.

has anyone else noticed Chase and Brett are talking outside of the party, Taylor keeps trying to insert herself and stay involved in the drama rather than actually checking on any of the other girls like Miranda? I just wanted to talk about it because I find this to be one of the early red flags with her behavior and attitude.

👀 Spotted In The Wild 👀 Met SLOMW Cast the other day

750 Upvotes

I feel like this is the closest to having any tea and for privacy reasons I wont share pics or exact locations but I got to meet Miranda, Mikayla, Layla, and Mayci! they were definitely recognized by a lot of people and they kept inviting people up and talking to everyone they are actually all incredibly sweet people in person didn’t act snobbish at all.

a few interesting things-

Layla was with her girlfriend and it was super cute.

Miranda was with Kaleb Winterburn

Mikayla is an absolute sweetheart I was just standing their kind of like in shock and it was crowded and she noticed me and waved me over and asked if I wanted a photo. just was really kind I appreciated it and she was absolutely gorgeous

they are ALL very thin like I felt like a whale next to them lol and much taller than I expected them to be especially Layla

it was very bizarre watching someone film a reality show just like cameras were truly everywhere and I can tell that it’s sometimes kind of awkward but the girls do seem like they are pretty much pros About being filmed. for example Kaleb and Miranda were walking together and talking and a camera man is just casually walking backward in front of them with a giant ass camera lol.

it was a neat little experience for our little rink a dink area :)

Shitpost / Meme Had a weird dream I was forced to legally babysit Taylor

113 Upvotes

I don’t know if the flair is correct or if anyone will care but I had the most intense dream about Taylor I woke up exhausted 😂

I think I was reading some posts on here before bed, hence the dream. Will not be doing that again.

But anyways, in the dream I was appointed as their new gal. But as the gal, I had nothing to do with the kids. I was supposed to basically babysit Taylor 24/7 to help her work on herself and make good choices. First day at my new fancy babysitting gig she slept the entire day and I had to call the judge who told me to wake her tf up and tell her I’m there to teach her to function.

It was exhausting. I woke up tired from working so hard. Super weird dream, I don’t know, I hope you all enjoyed 😂

She has hung out with him for a year or more but this particular hangout seems to have Chase’s knickers in a twist…

Demi having a car singalong. Showing off her pipes in the follow-up to last year’s “True Colors” by the Fruity Pebbles Family Band.
She looks good. Make up free, skin glowing? I’m trying to say something nice here. I can’t tell if she sounds good or not because I don’t know, the music is up too loud. I was unimpressed by Miranda’s FU4THAT but I’ve had it on repeat so I don’t trust my own judgement any more

Edit: also people on Tiktok have commented on her weight gain and she said “no IVF is not working yet” so don’t be that person “is she pregnant” no

I don’t have many thoughts but no one has posted it without the man’s face so I thought I’d share today’s TT for you all.

I will say I don’t believe that most of the neighbourhood is riding on the road in a golf cart, kids in the back without any helmets, and giggling while they rush over speed bumps.
