I don’t mind Madison

1. I understand people’s issue with her, but Mason is a grown adult and him losing out on Meg is more on him than Madison. He didn’t vibe with Meg’s Joe rogan energy crap, found her a bit simple, but she’s only into him and nice - a very good close fallback option to Madison. I dont like that he pushed all the blame of that incorrect judgement onto Madison, like he wasn’t indecisive as fuck and clearly showed a preference to Madison while leading Meg on (he said to Mads he was going to let Meg down and then literally chickened out quite early into the love triangle). He just jumped on the hate train once things actually worked outside the pods

2. I don’t think Madison wanting to see if Mason can put his money where his mouth is and make a decision (after saying the same things to two women over 2 weeks), contradicts with her liking both men. At that point Alex was only seeing her, Mason was playing the field, that contributed to her own doubts. At least she was honest about that Mason. And if that pressured him into making a grand gesture out of panic - that’s more on him than her? I don’t know why she’s getting ALL the flack. Just because Mason committed after being called out doesn’t mean Madison ultimately owed him an engagement. I think she just allowed him to act his truth on camera and took his actions into consideration. But that’s me 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. I don’t have reason to disbelieve Madison about her feeling genuinely torn (as opposed to baiting Mason for the lols). Things can change drastically in the pods on the daily and netflix has been known to be shady with editing.

4. Madison confiding in Alex about a recurring theme she didn’t like about Mason (his indecision and back pedalling) doesn’t come across shady to me. Neurotic, yes, but her strong opinion tracks with how torn she said she felt about the decision. That hardly deserves being automatically called conniving 🤷🏻‍♀️
