MAFS' Beth reveals why she thinks Teejay stayed on the show: 'Ulterior motives'
During Homestays he confessed he was still trying to figure out if he wanted to continue the relationship in the real world, and he couldn't tell her at last week's dinner party whether he would write 'stay' or 'leave' at the next commitment ceremony. Beth was then left heartbroken when she committed to staying for the final week of the experiment and he told the experts in Sunday night's episode that he was ready to go home.

MAFS' Beth reveals huge dinner party 'clash' that didn't air on TV
Reflecting on her MAFS experience five months after filming the show, Beth tells Yahoo Lifestyle she believes Teejay wasn't interested in her and he had other motivations for being a part of the experiment
'I always want to believe that people are good people. I don't think he's a bad person at all, but I think looking back now, he wasn't into me at all. And so the only thing I can really think of is maybe he just wanted to stay for as long as he could to get as much fame as he wanted,' she remarks.
'I feel like there must have been ulterior motives. I'm a good person, I would never have treated him like that ever. So I think maybe he just wanted to stay on the show for as long as he could and maybe he had to string me along to do that until it was at the point where he was like, 'Okay, I can't keep doing this'.'
Although they appeared to have a strong relationship for the majority of the experiment, Beth admits she first began questioning Teejay's intentions on her wedding day when she learned that he had previously appeared on Big Brother.
'This is the thing. Obviously, we couldn't talk about that on the show because it's crossing over, but from the first day at the wedding I found out he'd slept with Jamie [Marinos], he'd been on Big Brother, and he's slept with over 200 women,' she details.
'So when he's telling me he needs an emotional connection to sleep with me, in the back of my mind I'm thinking, 'F**k off, no you don't! You've shagged so many women, you don't need an emotional connection'.'
Beth says that his 'body count' admission, which he shared during his stint on Big Brother in 2023, played into her insecurities and made her doubt Teejay's attraction towards her.
'I'm like, okay, maybe he's just saying that because he's actually really not attracted to me and doesn't want to sleep with me, and it was just horrible,' she shares. 'I was always in my head because of the things he kept saying to me and I was just honestly so confused. It was just so many mixed signals. It was really, really difficult.'

Speaking about the last few episodes that have aired, Beth reveals it's been 'really hard' reliving the experience on TV and seeing how she let Teejay make her feel.
'Watching it back, I honestly feel a little bit disappointed in myself. I feel like, where was my self-worth? I'm chasing a guy that has kind of proved time and time again that he doesn't want me,' she says.

'My mind was just always constantly so up and down and that's why, because he didn't give me a yes or no answer, I just read that as maybe there was still something there. That's why I chose to write 'stay' and then when I saw him write 'leave' my heart just dropped. It was horrible.'
Beth's decision means that she and Teejay will continue in the experiment for 'Final Test Week' and the final dinner party of the decision, but it's unclear if they will go to Final Vows together.

‘Big Brother' 27: Why Fans Want Riley Evicted
The competition on Big Brother season 27 is getting heated, and while curveballs are always to be expected on BB, there is one possibility that the houseguests might not see coming. Calls from fans for Rylie Jeffries to be kicked out of the Big Brother house because of his treatment of Katherine Woodman have been growing steadily since the start of the season— and now his mother has stepped in to try to defend him. Katherine and Rylie have always been close in the house this season, but when their flirtation turned romantic, fans started noticing a distressing pattern in Rylie's attitude towards her and are now petitioning to have him removed from the show. Specifically, multiple viral clips taken from the Big Brother live feed show Rylie demanding physical touch, like hugs and kisses, even when Katherine says no. Others show Rylie talking down to Katherine, dismissing her gameplay, pulling away while clearly wanting her affection—which fans have dubbed toxic and manipulative behavior. Many fans have expressed concern for Katherine's well being in the house, even taking to Katherine's Instagram comments and seeking out her family members. An Instagram account linked to Tracy Michelle Spencer—identified as Katherine's stepmom—reportedly addressed the concerns in comments captured by @BigBrotherSpoilers. In her statement, Tracy implied that she and Katherine's father had been in touch with CBS and production, writing in part, 'I'm pleased to report that CBS has been responsive and communicative. Once we receive the requested information, we will make a public statement that is based on first hand knowledge rather than speculation.' It's unclear what information Katherine's family has requested from CBS, but given the growing concern among fans, hopefully it involves assurances from Katherine herself that she feels safe in the Big Brother house. Rylie's mother, meanwhile, defended her son in a new interview. 'He's not some obsessive stalker-type person like everyone is saying,' Michelle Jeffries told TMZ. 'He's got a great heart and wears it on his sleeve.' She also defended her son from allegations that he had welcomed a baby while in the Big Brother house and had been refusing to support his pregnant ex when he left to compete on the show. According to TMZ, Michelle said that her son was willing to take a paternity test, but had 'no reason to believe' that he was the father, despite his ex's reported statements claiming otherwise. There was one controversy, however, that Michelle didn't comment on: Rylie has reportedly been charged twice for driving without a valid license, which has caused some fans to wonder how he was even allowed in the house in the first place given the extensive background checks prior to casting.
