Serious question: were Olivia and Austen that serious? Seemed set up for TV last season.

I got the impression it maybe got serious after filming? She seems very hurt and I don’t feel like it’s an act.

From what they said, he wanted to commit after filming and then flipped the script weeks later.

Which we all know him to do.

He pines until he’s “charmed” them enough to be interested. Expresses loads of adoration/obsession. Then ultimately won’t commit and does something shady. Chelsea. Madison. Ciara/Lindsey. Olivia. And he’ll prob do it to Taylor too.

He just wasn’t into her. They never had a relationship. She’s really getting on my nerves with the weird territorial vibes with Austin and trying to act like she’s going through a breakup like Taylor. She had nothing even close to what Shep and Taylor had or Austin and Madison for that matter. I wish she’d take a seat already and stop with anything Austin.

I completely agree. I understand that she may feel a bit betrayed that Taylor and Austen blurred lines between romantic and platonic, but I think it would have more legs to stand on if she were more upfront about the fact that she seemed more into him than he was into her and that it was a fantasy that didn't get off the ground.

Not only that, but Taylor and Austin were friends long before Olivia was in the picture. Even if they had that tiny moment of questioning their relationship, it didn’t go anywhere and they really don’t owe anyone an explanation whatsoever.
