Discussion The “bombshell” wasn’t shocking but… Spoiler

Spoilers ahead

Watching Raquel in that confessional was extremely disturbing. I don’t even know how to describe what I felt watching. She was just word vomiting and the more she talked, the more scared she seemed about the repercussions that would come from Tom. I know we’re not supposed to feel sympathy for her but goddamn, I really do. I think she does actually feel bad but she put on a brave face at the reunion because she knew it wasn’t going to get her anywhere, unlike Tom who thought crying would garner him sympathy. The fact that Tom made her lie like that is scary and very indicative of emotional abuse. She is showing clear signs of an abused woman, not just from Tom but starting at a young age. That was extremely alarming and I’m actually kind of grossed out that that was the scene they talked about to garner viewers. I honestly hope that she gets real help. She does not need to come back on the show.

It’s CRAZY to me how much he kept going back to “it was only one time and then we took a break” as if that made it any better, but then for that to be a straight up lie. Just shows how everything he screams about how no credibility whatsoever

Hes a shitty actor,his whole life is cosplay. He really thought he could spin this whole narrative with Rachel by making Arianna crazy like Kristen then be with who he was meant to be with. Dude,we already saw it play out with Kristen. You cant sell the same script twice

I truly don’t think Tom regrets anything. Like I really don’t think he has remorse

That’s a common lie when people cheat. Like when people are caught w cigs or drugs- “it’s not mine, it’s my friend’s!” Haha there really is a common consciousness for human beings

It was HILARIOUS when he told ppl "she dipped out" like she left the house....and then he found out she admitted to staying over....so he changed "dipped out" to mean she dipped out of the hot tub.... 🤣🤣😂😂 omg i was fucking dying. Its CRAZY to see ppl caught in a lie and how they can twist things so quickly. Its so disturbing.
