MAFS' Jamie reveals major commitment ceremony moment viewers missed
Arguably the biggest surprise of the night, however, was when Tim Gromie arrived late after previously refusing to move in with his partner Katie Johnston for Confessions Week. The controversial groom was berated by the experts, who labelled his dinner party behaviour as 'gaslighting 101', before the pair both wrote 'leave' and exited the experiment.

While viewers were on the edge of their seats watching John Aiken call out Tim's treatment of Katie at the commitment ceremony, Jamie Marinos tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he wasn't the only one who had something to say.
'Look, I had a few choice words to say to Tim,' she laughs. 'I think I probably said enough at the dinner party, so I think [the editors] were thinking, 'Let's just let Daddy John take the wheel'.
'I could not tell you word for word what I said, but I was not impressed. I think he definitely had an idea that he was going to come in and get proven right. I honestly believe his perception of his reality was that he was very much in the right and Katie was in the wrong. I mean, he got a rude awakening and obviously, that's my girl up there.'
Although Jamie's co-stars agreed with her comments about Tim and even got involved themselves, she believes they were all edited out of the episode to 'soften the blow'.
'Tim definitely did get a grilling that night, he did. I think they softened it up a little bit because obviously everyone is quite fired up and I think just probably to protect [his] mental health, perhaps. But it was quite an intense commitment ceremony, for sure,' she details.
'A lot of us did get quite involved and comments were obviously made, but not everyone's going to get shown. I think we needed the experts to take the wheel on that, and so that's kind of what they did show.'
Jamie's outburst about Tim wasn't the only moment edited out of Sunday night's episode, with Morena Farina claiming her partner Tony Mojanovski made a bombshell confession on the couch.
Morena revealed in a series of messages to 2023 groom Harrison Boon, which he shared to his Instagram Story last week with her permission, that Tony was still legally married to his estranged wife when he filmed the reality show.
While she didn't have an issue with his martial status as she had also gone through a lengthy divorce process, she said that Tony admitted at the first commitment ceremony of the season that he was still in love with his wife and wanted the producers to bring her into the experiment.
'I don't care that I didn't find love,' Morena told Harrison in the leaked messages. 'I don't care that he is separated and dating. I took three years to get my divorce so it's okay. What I care about is he told everyone at the commitment ceremony, which is this week, that he loves his wife. He told directors and producers, 'Bring my wife in'.'

The Italian bride went on to claim that the show's producers told her to 'stop talking', 'shut up' and 'let it go' when she began speaking out about Tony's bombshell confession because they weren't planning on including it in the show.
'Well I didn't let it go and I still haven't let it go,' she continued. 'This is why they're playing my character as I talk too much. Do I? I haven't even started yet. I don't understand. I'm actually happy. He loves his wife. I've actually told him that. Why didn't you chase your wife instead of this experiment?'

New Jeff Buckley doc unearths the late rock star's unsung Latino roots
Mamá … you got some f—ing cojones, baby. These were some of the last words that legendary singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley left for his mother on an answering machine — not long before he tragically drowned in a river in Memphis, Tenn., in the spring of 1997. Just three years earlier, Buckley, a staple of New York's downtown coffeehouse scene, had released his debut album, 'Grace' — a collection of eclectic guitar confessionals and cover songs, propelled by the androgyne elasticity of his four-octave vocal range. The orchestral rock elegance of 'Grace' drew a stark contrast from the grunge fare that conquered the airwaves in the early '90s. It would also be the only full-length album he released while alive. Helmed by Academy Award-nominated director Amy Berg, the new documentary 'It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley' recalls the story of Buckley's life and death, primarily and most intimately by the women who loved him most: his former partners, artists Rebecca Moore and Joan Wassen; and of course, his mother, Mary Guibert. Buckley was born on Nov. 17, 1966, to Guibert and her high school sweetheart, who became the beloved antiwar folk singer Tim Buckley. Yet before the release of 'It's Never Over,' Buckley's Latino heritage had long been eclipsed in the media by that of his famous, yet estranged father. 'There's so much emphasis on the Buckley side of things,' says Guibert, who calls me from her home in Northern California. 'But [Tim was] just somebody flying through the night.' Guibert and her family immigrated to Anaheim from the Panama Canal Zone, a territory long contested between the United States and Panama until 1999. A student at Loara High School, Guibert became a skilled cellist, pianist and dancer. She started going steady with Tim, then just a quarterback and member of the French Club, in 1964; they married the following year, after Guibert became pregnant at 17. 'When I met him in high school, I was very busy,' Guibert says. 'I was sitting first chair cello in the Youth Symphony Orchestra. I was performing in a play. I [took] ballet, tap and modern jazz dance classes. I wanted to be an actress on Broadway. ... But I was the one with the uterus.' It was during Guibert's fifth month of pregnancy that Tim abandoned her to pursue his musical career — and tune in and drop out with the likes of 1960s icons such as Andy Warhol and Janis Joplin. The couple divorced in 1966, just a month before Jeff was born. In an show of narrative justice, the documentary juxtaposes Tim's righteous monologues against the Vietnam War and social inequality with scenes of Guibert and their son celebrating milestones in his absence. Tim remarried in 1970 and died five years later of a drug overdose. Jeff was notably omitted from the obituary and not invited to the funeral. He would later resent comparisons by music journalists to his father, whom he'd spent only a handful of days with as a child. 'I have a great admiration for Tim and what he did, and some things that he did completely embarrass me to hell,' said Jeff in a 1994 interview. 'But that's a respect to a fellow artist. Because he wasn't really my father.' Guibert wells with pride when I ask her about bringing up a rock legend in a Latino household; she and her mother sang nursery rhymes to young Jeff in Spanish. Family members often referred to him as 'El Viejito,' for his long face and an emotional literacy well beyond his years. But Guibert admits that their home life was no lighthearted family sitcom. She and her siblings were often subjected to violence at the hands of her father. 'I adored my dad, but I feared him like nothing else,' she says. 'The escape route was to get married and get the f— out of there. But after I divorced Tim, I couldn't get a checking account for my paycheck … because in those days, I had to have my father's signature. 'In spite of the machismo,' she says, she left home with Jeff at 19, got a job and started a new life in North Hollywood. 'Jeff was my rescuer. He's the reason I [said], 'You know what? I have to take my son out of here because I don't want him to grow up to be a man like [my dad].'' Guibert and Jeff often moved homes. She eventually married Jeff's stepfather, Ron Moorhead, changed Jeff's name to 'Scott' (it didn't stick) and gave birth to his half brother, Corey. Yet she continued to smoke pot and party with her peers, longing for the kind of life enjoyed by other young California girls. Jeff adopted a stern, fatherly tone with his mom, which the documentary illustrates with the missives he left on her answering machine. But however fraught, or codependent their relationship was, Guibert says, it remained strong to the end. 'He said, 'Mama, you could have given me up, you could have aborted me, you could have done all of those things and you chose to keep me,'' she recalls. 'And I think that was a bond that never could be broken.' Throughout the documentary, friends and lovers remember Jeff's bottomless well of empathy, which was no more pronounced than in his music. Perhaps due to what he described as his 'rootless' nature, he felt at ease interpreting songs by artists across cultures and genres, from Nina Simone to Edith Piaf and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and imbuing their lyrics with his own yearning, elegiac croons. Likening himself to a 'human jukebox,' Jeff entranced millions of fans with his cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah,' but he got listeners hooked with original ballads such as 'Grace' and 'Lover, You Should've Come Over.' Berg first reached out to Guibert about making a film in 2007, but it wasn't until 2019 that she agreed to share her treasure trove of archival materials. Guibert says it was her own protective, motherly instinct that gave her pause; she also preferred the idea of a scripted film. (Actor Brad Pitt had originally vetted the idea of a biopic in the '90s, but the project fell through; he eventually became executive producer of 'It's Never Over.') 'With all respect to documentarians and filmmakers, it takes a long time to really understand how things work,' Guibert says. She has previously supervised the production of all of Jeff's posthumous records, including the 1998 compilation 'Sketches for My Sweetheart, the Drunk,' and a live album released in 2000 called 'Mystery White Boy.' She adds that she made a 'handshake deal' with Don Ienner, then president of Columbia Records, to be present in the studios for the mixing process. Yet Guibert remains hesitant to share all his musical material, which is locked in a climate-controlled unit in Seattle. 'It would be like showing his dirty laundry,' she says of releasing certain recordings. 'That's what agonized him so much — that when you record things, they are forever.' Eventually, Guibert says, she would like to revisit the idea of a biopic about her son, who's continued to amass a cult following in the decades since his death. 'Grace' reentered the Billboard 200 in July and debuted on the Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. 'If somebody had said you're going to be the curator for an amazing phenomenal artist, I would have said groovy — who?' Guibert says. 'If they said, 'It's your son, but he has to die first. … I'd say, 'Oh no, I'll keep being a secretary.' I'll keep selling whatever I can sell until I'm too tired and they have to put me in the home.' 'But that's not my fate,' she says, 'and that was not his.' Released by Magnolia Pictures, 'It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is now showing in select theaters across the U.S.

24 Hilarious Gumball Moments That Adults Will Love
As someone who grew up on ridiculous kids shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, and Chowder, my sense of humor is geared in a particular direction. When I saw The Amazing World of Gumball was streaming on Disney+, I thought: What the heck, I'll give it a shot. And, oh, man, I wish this show were around when I was a kid. After almost seven years, the show has returned under the name The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. New name, same wild antics. Here are 26 moments from The Amazing World Of Gumball that got a legit laugh out of me: The Gumball creators love a good car crash gag, and that is still alive and well in Season 7. I immediately knew I was in good hands with this scene where Gumball's dad goes to retrieve a burger in the street and the situation quickly escalates. Gumball's mom becoming an anime fighter in one frame Speaking of frames, this was Gumball's immediate reaction to his mom saying, "Gumball, the phone, please." The older seasons have plenty of classic moments. That time Gumball offered a and awkward, secret handshake with Principal Brown. From the silence to the noises, it is my kind of humor. When Gumball and Darwin used unconventional teamwork to make their sandwich. Their pompous laugh afterward sent me. When Jamie Russo opened up Gone with the Wind, thinking it would be literal wind, but instead was Clark Gable as Rhett Butler saying, "You should be kissed and often by someone who knows how." There couldn't have been a funnier line for that moment. Also, Jamie taking wayyy too long to read the paper compared to Anais is wayyy too relatable and hilarious. (I'm Jamie) Gumball trying to join the swim club and just straight up drowning because he can't swim had me dying. The hard cut to his blurry vision was too much. Forgetting people's names is hard, and Gumball trying to remember this blue guy's name had me cackling. Everything about the paintball outing was iconic. Gumball having to leave a man behind was too much. The distant paint explosion was icing on the cake. Speaking of fighting, sometimes role play can go too far. Gumball and Darwin playing with their food got way too dark. This is a kid's show, right? Being a dad is hard. Being a dad and trying to talk to your daughter is its own challenge. Mr. Watterson, having an internal crisis on trying to "say the right thing!" to his daughter, was expertly done. What the hell was this "Sussie Song" even supposed to be? This show is so unhinged. Simply, the hard cut to this reaction. Gumball's vision for the play is every kid who loves them some action. From Indiana Jones to The Avengers to Mortal Kombat, the lad has vision! Gumball giving CPR to the gaming system and blowing on the cartridge was brilliant. Maybe the most clever joke in a show stacked to the brim with them. Gaylord Robinson violating international peace agreements and going back to jail was a whole experience. MAKE IT RAIN! (Making it rain with a check is brilliant) Darwin tells Gumball to "make a wallet sound" and proceeds to deliver the most Pokémon-like wallet sound ever. Also, both Darwin and Gumball picking the worst hiding spot possible, and Darwin proceeding to add a second bus stop is my kind of ridiculousness. "It's the glass ceiling Mom was talking about!" When the parents hijacked the school bus, and Tobias's dad was speaking with a voice changer, only for it to fizzle out and reveal his deep voice. The entire imaginary fight was a blast, but the eerie handoff of the plasma grenade from Tobias had me floored. "We gotta go. It's getting dark out." *Hard cut to a perfectly sunny afternoon* "What's the surprise?" *the tiniest boo* And lastly, and probably most popular, "Do you mind if I put a poster in the window?" What is your favorite Gumball moment? Comment below! Watch S1–6 on Disney+ and S7 on Hulu.
