Jason is so afraid. His other relationships must have been really messed up. His gift to her will suck if he decides on divorce, what a painful reminder especially since he knows how Cortney feels. Notice on the clips for the decision they are holding each other and C is on his right side. A newer clip they have been showing she is on the left, they are no longer sitting that close (looks like) and Cortney looks sad and like she's been crying. I can feel her pain if Jason decides on divorce. If Jamie decides on divorce Doug needs to count himself LUCKY. Together she will constantly use whatever she can against him, knowing he won't leave her.

I know I might not have this right, but also on Cortney's twitter it implies the ending is bittersweet. I have a bad feeling they don't stay together. I was looking forward to a love story.

MsPH Thank you for clarifying

I'm not sure how to read twitter but there's a conversation on Cortney's talking about moving out of NYC due to problems and lease being up. Can someone tell me if that is coming from her.

Your right, Dr C is totally objective on the show. My comments were based also on the other thread, the same one Crazychicken is talking about were Dr C posts. I think all of the posts, pictures and social media stuff that Jamie is putting out there is kind of like "I think the lady does protest too much".

Doc is gay, he stated this on his most popular thread where they love him and Jamie. On some of the other threads I read everyone is pretty sure that Jason is going to dump Cortney. Maybe that's why he hasn't really let her in or introduced her to his mom. But even though he hasn't really let her in, what we're shown is that he keeps saying things to her that would lead her to believe that he really wants the marriage.

It also makes Doug looks desperate to be with someone considered "gorgeous" or is he in it for fame? Unless I've missed it, none of the other "experts" defend Jamie as adamently as Dr. C. Hopefully there's at least one honest one among them that didn't think she should be on the show but was overruled. It is very questionable why they would let someone on with her LARGE amount of baggage. Plus they should have known that despite how much they think Jamie needs someone like Doug (total lap dog), he did not fit her ideal of a mate, not successful or financially stable, not great looking, nothing to really call his own. He just has the close family that she thinks she wants. But a close family does not want a fake trying to play them all and treating their son/brother like gum on her shoe. Although I would love for Jason and Cortney to work out, why let him to the show in the midst of his mother's illness and the consuming Fire Academy. Hey Crazychicken, what is your opinion on my senario of the couples making/not making it and the editing?

Hi Crazychicken, I think we're on the same page regarding Dr. C and Jamie. Are you wondering too about the relationship thats going on here with the Doc, producers and Jamie???? The Doc gets actually angry if someone posts something negative about Jamie. The producers allow her to be all over social media as well as Doug's family. Most of the coverage on the show is about Jamie (maybe she allowed the most filming and they called her). Like I said previously, I think having Jamie really took away from the authenticity of the show. I don't think I'll bother with the next season if they bring in another Jamie. Plus I don't like seeing people hurt, that's not entertaining for me, and I think Doug and Cortney are going to be really hurt. Doug especially if he wasn't made aware of all Jamie's TV ventures along with the TB/BP. Unless he's just going along with this for the show (which makes him look like a schmuck), I can't imagine his family having good feelings about the relationship after seeing how Jamie has treated him throughout the show.

Oh the errors I have!!! Sorry. Of course I meant Cortney & Jason and that I would not be hugged up with the person who dumped me.

Tell me what you think of this scenario : At the beginning of each show they show they couples being asked their decision. Monet & Vaughn are apart and look done with each other. Jamie & Doug don't. Look happy and she wipes a tear. Cortney and Vaugh are holding each other as they always do, but a one point she has a slight smile. This has always made me think that C & J stay married. But now that we've experienced the edits making us think things are going a certain way, perhaps J & C are the couple that don't stay married. I don't think J is the type from what has been shown that would dump C on camera unless he had already told her privately. But I could see him making that decision out of fear of being hurt and also his upcoming Fire Academy commitment. Now if it was me I would be holding on to someone who I've given all to and then been dumped, regardless of the reason. Even though there's been a lot of social media strongly suggesting J & D have stayed together, I still don't think J has ever had serious intentions of stay with D and will be done once she thinks she won't get as much backlash. Oh the errors I have!!! Sorry. Of course I meant Cortney & Jason and that I would not be hugged up with the person who dumped me.

I am so wondering why the "experts" let Jamie be part of this. It doesn't take even one college degree, let alone 4 PHD's, to know that Jamie was only doing this for the TV time, especially since the producers called her. Do you think they warned Doug ahead of time? It would be cruel if they didn't at some point let him know that she might not be for real.

I think if Jason's going to dump Cortney he'll do in private first. I will feel bad for her because she thinks he loves her, like she loves him already. I think this crap with Jamie might have waken Doug up to the fact that he'll be basically licking Jamie's every drop of poop if SHE decides to stay with him. He's already said that he knows she would never pick him in the real world. I think like many others she's been faking all along. Could they just STOP showing Monet & Vaugh they just get mor painful to watch each episode

Call me just a silly romantic, I felt a real tender moment with Jason & Cortney's last scene. In my mind they just didn't verbalize the "I love you". Then they show the scene for next episode and the feeling is dashed! I know I shouldn't fall for this each week because it never turns out how the producers portray it. I think it's pretty clear how hurt Monet is. I think Doug is getting a clue that he'll never be good enough or perfect enough for Jamie-Aunt Gorgeous. I think at this point he is just playing a role. Like Crazychicken posted previously, Jamie wants him to accept her quirks and faults but she never accept the faults of others. The realization of this will definitely hurt Doug. I think Cortney will be devastated if Jason decides to end the marriage

I forgot to say in my earlier post that perhaps Jamie & Doug do stay married and the producers know they are the fan favorites so that is why they let them be so obvious on social media. Of course if Jamie and/ or the producers are playing games with this and they still split not long after the finale there will still be a lot of angry viewers who will (rightfully) feel like they were totally played.

Hey maybe we're wrong and Jamie & Doug the only couple that decides to stay married (not for long). The promos for the finale show Jason& Cortney hugged up but I could see them deciding to continue a relationship but not stay married. I think there's no doubt about M & V, or at least there shouldn't be!

I think your right on several points. By looking at Doug's professional profile he hasn't had a job longer than 18 months other than the part-time or volunteer sports related jobs. He doesn't seem as ambitious as Jamie may want. While Doug may be a "caretaker", I don't see Jamie appreciating this quality in him. I bought up the softball game because he also said he doesn't think she realizes how important it is to him. Regarding all the tweets and pictures it seems way off that the producers would allow all of that, it basically gives away the outcome.

I am so glad I found this forum! I was on another, but as someone else said previously, they have Dr C posting with them and you can not question him or the process without getting backlash or their favorite couple Jamie & Doug. I like that here everyone can have an opinion and not be slammed for it. Now let me say this, I think Doug is sincerely deluded. Although he does seem to be a nice guy and MIGHT be what Jamie needs, I really don't think he's type of man she wants. He has had many different jobs according to the cast info and his Linkedin profile. Jamie has mentioned often wanting someone stable. Although he would be her 'lap dog' for life, does any woman really want or respect a man like that? Doug is kind of like a everyday Joe, I get the vibe that Jamie wants someone more sophisticated. Plus he puts so much emphasis on his family and baseball I think this could become a problem if she can't be at every family function or game. But mostly I am just not buying that she has actually fallen for him. Jamie stills gives me the impression that Doug is beneath her and that's why she treats him like he should be grateful she's with him. I think her behavior changed because she was coming across so poorly. Someone else had said that they think she's setting things up to not look bad when she ends it. I don't believe all the tweets etc showing them still being together and at various functions
