    I so much laughed when Darcey said her favorite color is "white or clear"  Yup, she said clear folks.  Up until now when someone asked my favorite color, I said Plaid.  Not anymore, I am stealing Darcey's favorite color of Clear.  It completely makes sense though, if she could wear clear colored clothing, she would.

    I guessed she was going to say "shiny" but laughed heartily at clear as well.

    I think the real question is has Tim ever had sex with a woman? I was thinking that might be why Veronica knew how it was going in the bedroom with Tim and Jenniffeerr. 

    I was thinking that and drawing conclusions from it also, but I think that producers give them suggested questions to advance a storyline, or maybe a few different questions to advance a few different storylines.  So maybe there was a whole storyline about Tim not liking guava and JJeeniiffeerr liking guava and in an unaired clip of the conversation Veronica asked how the guava was in Columbia, but the guava fight never materialized and other more interesting things did so the guava material was shelved.  Therefore I am not sure whether Veronica would definitely have asked on her own, and thus can't really make an inference from it (which would be: Veronica knows Tim has big issues.)

    Good example of this: I thought "where did you get the ring" was 100% a producer-fed line.  Who would ask that, as opposed to "how did you know what I would like" or "can we get this resized and a lot more diamonds added" or "what made you pick this ring for me" or whatever?  I know JJ's into brands, but I imagine between the mountaintop and the spa (maybe while Tim was sleeping, he was so tired...) she'd have taken the ring off and look for an engraved "Tiffany" or something if she really cared, and not seeing it there, why does she care if he went to Kay or Jareds?  That's what she's chatting about randomly a day later?  It was clearly that the producer who miked her up (ok, maybe not, because water) faux-innocently and/or directly (I'll give you $100 extra if you ask...) said "hey, where did he get the ring?  you don't know?  you should ask!  also ask if he wants to do the guava facial mask!"

    Surely someone could've taught Avery to say qabul for the ceremony?  She seems to have some Arabic words and phrases she uses....

    Maybe just saying it isn't enough if they know you don't understand what you're agreeing to.

    I have very little to say about Jasmine and Will because, as people, neither one is horrible but as a match they are not meshing. Petty aside: Jasmine uses the word "feelings" or "feel" (pronounced "fillings" or "fill") way too much and because of her weird pronunciation I've become hyperaware of it.

    This was me and Kate and "feelming" (you know, when people are pointing cameras at you) last episode.   What was that?  Not a Philly thing.

    I agree it's hard to judge, but for me it's because this is TV, & there is just so much damn editing involved. That 'conversation' between K&L was so disjointed & made no sense. They also edited in statements they've both made at other times, & it was obvious because of the way it was said with the camera not on the person speaking at the time. One example was when they obviously replayed Luke saying "I don't want a divorce." in that drawn out, odd vocal tone he did when they were speaking on the bed. I knew right away he didn't just say that; the whole thing was messed with by production. We are apparently not allowed to hear how an actual conversation goes down between these two.

    For some reason, I noticed this a lot during a talking head with Stephanie, where she said "I just need to figure out if I can deal with it when he gets mad" and they added "frustrated" and "or" before the "mad" - I feel like they are playing down anger and just showing ha ha how he walks out of a room when he has to pick up kettlebells too much.

    I know that's all dramatic for television but the scenes of them spending a night alone were weird. Everyone is staring at their rings and all sad because they are all alone. For one night? Lord. I get saying it feels weird after being together 24/7 for the past 8 weeks but jeebus, these growns ups acted like they didn't know what to do with themselves because the other was not there. As if that’s the reason to stay with someone: so I won’t be alone. Good luck with that, folks.

    I don' t think you're recognizing the fact that AJ will have to eat at some point.  ALONE.

    I don't know if the preview for next week is considered a spoiler so I am spoiler-protecting this comment.  @drogo just edit it out if it's not ok?

    Spoiler

    The preview had Pastor Cal saying (something like) "I am always pro-marriage, but not this time."  I feel like we're supposed to assume that it's Kate and Puke, but I am so up for it being a dramatic reveal of something else.  Please please please let this be about one of the other couples.  Otherwise, it's that Kate and Puke said yes and production made sure Pastor Cal was drinking a glass of water at the time and filmed the spit take.

  5. I have to admit that I didn’t care as much about the actual confrontation as I did seeing Michael “swoosh” down and out of the thruple graphic where previously one woman or the other would be swooshed off to the side.  After that the confrontation was anticlimactic.  (And badly edited and hard to understand, imho, but still nothing could follow the swooshing away of Michael.)

  6. I watch this for fun, but Lizzie's behavior during the elevator walkout and Michael's during the call with Sarah were just painful.  Just a master class on gaslighting and never owning up to your own behavior, and deflecting.  Painful.  Awful.  Ugh.  I agree that Marcelino and Brittany are boring, but I'll take their magic engagement over having to see any of that again.

    I did not understand the description of where the magic phone hiding spot is.  That's ok with me, really, no one needs to step up and explain it.

    She’s stocking up before she dumps him. I want to feel sorry for him, but I can’t, he is so stupid.

    The car can get repossessed super easily but the clothes are her parting gift, hers to keep - thanks for playing - until she’s incarcerated again.

    Did Micheal go back to jail because he was 10 minutes late or because he was driving when they told him not to ? or for something they found on him?

    Sarah said it was a "consensus" decision between Michael and the parole officers.  Such an odd phrasing in this context.

     Today I learned that Lizzie used to play with herself every single day.  I never wanted this information.  But that fact is now taking up valuable brain space where a PIN number could be or a parking space could be remembered.

    You could try to picture the parking space with Lizzie in it, and she's ... no, never mind.

    Am I misunderstanding something?  "Intentionality" is not an invented word.  It means done with intention or purpose, which is what I think Pepper was getting at with regard to making babies.  It also has a definition used in the study of philosophy, but it's too complicated and not relevant to the way she used it here.

    OED cites uses by Hobbes (1651), Bentham (1780), and Samuel T. Coleridge (1836) and has it as currently somewhat frequently used.

    And now I've cited the OED in a discussion on this reality show.  I'm looking through Edna St. Vincent Millay and the Federalist Papers to quote in the Love After Lockup forums next.

    Scott and Adam: Can you imagine just starting out in life and having to watch while your father forks over more than $100,000 to a drug-addicted ex-con, bankrupting himself in the process, while you get nothing?  I would have strangled him with one of those bows and I doubt I would have wasted any time choosing a color.

    I feel so bad for Scott's son. He needs too back to CA (that's where Scott said he lived, right?), life his life, and let his father drown. Do not give him a penny. Do not sign anything he asks.

    I feel bad for Scott's son he's only 19 but he's got more maturity and sense than Scott.   He should get an education and get himself a decent job and move far away from his father.  Scott's going to end up alone and homeless and Lizzie will be long gone.

    You guys are so much nicer than I am.  I like him, but I can't feel bad for him because I am not sure why he's there, maybe he's being paid as a cast member?  He's 19, does he have nothing going on in his life that he can take three weeks to go stay in a hotel room and pick bows?  Isn't coming with his father encouraging him?  Maybe he thought he could do something about it if he were there, but any time he's tried to on camera, it's super useless.

    Now when he talks to his father about the money and his bankruptcy, he doesn't say "she's not going to stay with you, you're getting old, seriously you're deciding to flush everything you have down the toilet and ignore your future completely, you know she's going to dump you when she realizes the money's tapped out, can we please stop this insanity?"  Instead he says "you're not selling the house [that I live in] are you?" and Scott says "Why are you complaining, there's food on the table at home, isn't there?" and somehow he shuts up.  Dear Adam: You are not going to get fed or sheltered much longer.  Start saving up, figure out some way to be supporting yourself soon ('cause it's coming...), when you move out try not to get a place with a second bedroom.

  12. It's all unbelievable, and so many people on this show just need to get a job (Scott's son, Lizzie's daughter, Scott, Matt, Caitlin, Megan, Sarah, Michael).  Marcellino: employed!  Yay him.  Brittany and Tracie need therapy and rehab and some time away from their devoted men.  Maybe they could find a traffic median somewhere and hang out together. 

    Lizzie: I have no words.  "Say your vows right now.  RIGHT NOW.  Those vows were crap.  Don't you love me?   You don't.  I hate you. Here are my crap vows: I love you."  So much whiplash and gaslighting.

    I was on Jasmine's (I refuse to spell it the way that dumbass Lizzie cursed her daughter with) side until this week.  Yeah, Scott is an enabler but your mom is a user, Jasmine.  She's not innocent.  AT. ALL.  She deserves the majority of the blame.  You're 19.  Quit acting like you're 9.  If you want to have time with just your mom for a while, then tell her.  And what was with that telling Scott that Scott should have asked Jasmine first before proposing to Lizzie?  These people are nuts.  Only Adam seems sane in this particular quadrangle.  

    I think your emotional development sometimes ends when you got very hurt.  She lost her mom at 7 (Lizzie is 12 years in, right?).  I'm impressed that she acts like she's 9.

    I thought I heard that too. His house was amazing. Just wow. Either he has his shit together or he is Tony Montana. But he really did seem to be grounded and real. 

    Every house is an AirBnB until proven otherwise.  Including Matt’s moms house.  Tito’s house.  Etc. 

    Just wondering - any one else understand Sarah to be drinking until she finds out she’s for sure pregnant, while thinking she might be?   I hear that fetal development isn’t affected by anything you do until you pee on a stick, so that’s ok.

    Tito was almost shedding tears talking about his child. That's legit. 

    He will fucking eat Marcellino if he thinks he's not being kind to Giovanni.

    Agree. 

    I just don't understand what's going on with custody.  Kid clearly knows and is comfortable with his father, but Brittany said that she saw him regularly for the first year, but then the second year her parents took him to Alaska?  Not sure how old he is now, but she hasn't seen him since that first year, seems like.  Again, just confusion, not a criticism - whichever people have been raising the kid in whichever combinations get kudos (and B. gets the minimal number of not-an-idiot-points for not jumping out of some bushes to surprise him, which no reasonable person would think to do anyway) I just am confused as to how old the kid is, who has had custody, and what the plans are going forward.  If we're making this a plot point, they could let us know.

    It has been bleached a lot but it looks healthier than Amber's hair did. I think Kate would look better with Auburn hair.

    This post gave me a flash of genius idea about something Kate could do if she wanted to to be more appealing to Luke but I smartly read through the entire thread and found that @sandrab has gotten here first ...

    I don't think she has blue eyes, they look dark to me - and she is obviously a natural brunette - maybe the producers thought she could compromise & change her hair color down the road if she was that into him?  

    My partner is not into blondes at all and is the Sonny salt shaker to my Cher pepper mill (ignoring the fact that they split up).  I sometimes think about what would have happened if I were a blonde.  Poor, lonely Cher pepper mill, alone astride the cannon on that ship, wishing she could turn back time.

    Who knew you could rent out a Golden Corral for a wedding party?! (j/k, but that's what it looked like) How wasted were the wedding guests after waiting 5 HOURS for the ceremony to start? (I loved the way nobody stopped conversing to hear the wedding vows being said!) 

    I don’t think they were guests.  I think they were people who happened to be eating at the restaurant.

     She is annoying but that doesn't make it right for Michael to treat her that way. Their poor little girl was trying to get attention and they were ignoring her, I hope she doesn't end up pregnant again.

    The poor little girl was trying to distract them from fighting.  So great than N days out of jail and she's already taking responsibility for her parents relationship.  Really healthy environment.  Hope she stays with Grandma and Grandpa full-time.

    I was thinking the same thing!  There was so little attention to detail throughout the entire venue. It's a shame because it was beautiful but if I lived there I would NOT book a wedding there based on what was seen on this show. 

    -the aisle for the inside ceremonies had a runner that wasn't tacked down and was a total tripping hazard

    -that same aisle had lanterns lining the way that could have easily gotten caught up in a bride's train and tipped/dragged

    -the aisle was way too narrow for a bride in a large gown to fit by herself, let alone with her father walking next to her

    -no vestibule or awning on their approach to the ceremony

    -the uneven stone steps that the brides had to walk down for the outside ceremonies

    -no tent/cover over the guests for the outdoor ceremonies which apparently took place on the surface of the sun, judging by all the guests with umbrellas for shade

    -no solid walkway to the outdoor reception tent - poor Stephanie had to hobble through the grass in her high heels to get into her reception

    You have to imagine that they ceded control of a lot of the details (and probably even things like "how wide the aisle is") to production.  I'm not saying they don't suck, I'm just saying that they're just a wedding Air B&B for the production, and I'm sure that they told production what stuff they had and the show people decided whether and where to put that stuff.
