For Johnny, love is all about grand gestures. However, Bao's love language is different, she believes in small gestures. After a fun cooking date. The duo decided to play a game of 'truth or sip'. Although it started lighthearted, Johnny turned the tables and asked Bao if she thinks she puts in 100% for their marriage. Bao believes she does, but her answer did nothing but piss Johnny off, who stated that if she puts 100%, he puts 150%. They argued over the fact that Johnny believes Bao isn't trying hard enough. He even stormed off, only to return and announce that he thinks they are not compatible. Bao reminded him that she is his wife and is not against him, but instead wants to work it out, together.

Fans were entirely on Bao's side when it came to the couple's argument, seeing that Johnny's tantrum came out of nowhere. "Johnny is so damn delusional. Once again, he is the person who he tries to make Bao out to be #mafs" tweeted a fan. "Noticing a trend that the guys feel like any kind of disagreement means their marriage failing. And the women are having to reassure them. Ion like that #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" added another.

"A relationship is not a competition. If you feel your partner is your opponent, the relationship will not work Johnny. @Lifetime @MAFSLifetime #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight #Lifetime" pointed out a fan. "Yo… for real. Wth is wrong with Johnny?? Like this can't be it. All we're seeing … and we still must be missing something. This man just literally had a meltdown/tantrum and Bao right there coddling him. #MAFS" stated another.
