However, things reached boiling point during Wednesday night’s episode when Selin refused to watch Anthony’s audition tape as part of Confessions Week. Instead, she sat engrossed in her phone before huffing, “Is that it?” once the clip was over.

While these two single parents seemed like a perfect match at their wedding, the façade quickly crumbled before us onscreen.
