I was so hoping that Hunter would say nothing and just blindside them all at tribal by pulling out his idol!

Sure - because she thinks she's so great and it gives her the chance to discuss her second favorite topic after genitals - "what I've done for you!" 😄 IMO she's looked like a bad business owner for all of the years that she refused to fire Jax. Now of course we know it was because of the show, but it didn't make her look like the "scary boss bitch" she wanted us to think she was. Since they referred to their method of birth control as "spray and pray" he didn't have to actually agree to it 😄

I think it's more that if friends she really trusted could fool her like that, it makes her worry about her judgment in trusting others. Remember last year she told someone (Allie?) that she'd have no problem with Raquel sharing a bed with Brock. Haha she's owner of the restaurant and producer of the show - she knew exactly what was happening. And she enjoyed it because it allowed her to do one of her favorite things - act snippy and superior to someone on camera, in a way I'm sure she thought was hilarious. What I found hilarious, however, was Jax's "mmmhmmm, okay, whatever" attitude as he got up and walked away 😄 I'm wondering if Brock hasn't missed the boat there - he has spent so long away that they're no longer interested in knowing him, especially if he's across the world.

I find it to be oddest when she's talking and it's all turned down!

Probably they, like us, keep expecting the season to end, only to find out they have to show up for another week! 😂😂

What on earth did Brittany have done to her face? Her mouth is in permanent frownie face!

Ha ha everything about their situation is ridiculous! 😂

I would give her kudos if she said all that! Can't stand these "non-judgmental" family members. Dannnielle better get in there before the marriage and let her know - she has Natalia's number even if N. won't return her messages! I'm wondering if cancer guy thinks he's "making sure his wife is cared for" by earning some TLC bucks pretending to be seeking a sister wife! Also - I thought The Thinker's women didn't sleep with each other - they just married each other to keep peace in the house since no one will be jealous of the one who gets to marry him! 😄. I thought they said that last year.

Yep - their eyes on Allie and their fingers crossed! 😂 Sandy for sure; Schwartz maybe just wants someone young enough to not understand that he's a child-man and not an adult!

IMO he has grown personally, but he had a lot of growing to do, and I do think he's just kind of an emotionally disturbed person, who means well but has a horribly dysfunctional background to overcome. I think he thought he loved Kristen, and was upset to realize that she was more obsessed with Sandy than she was with him; I think he was VERY in love with Raquel, to the point of joining AA and quitting drinking for her, only to get dumped when the season ended; now he believes he's in love with Ally, despite the fact that it's obvious to most of us that she's here for the TV time. His parents are train wrecks; he was supporting his entire family in his early 20s; he was an angry alcoholic for the first half of his time on the show. I also think he really was in love with "Lala", who he saw very clearly couldn't bother with him since he didn't have the means to supply her with Range Rovers and Gucci slides. I think he loves hard and foolishly, and gets his heart broken more than a stable person would, which is why he was so distraught about Sandy and Raquel and acted like such an ass at the reunion. (Not trying to justify his behavior, but to understand where he is coming from.) For his sake I hope he gets that it seems Ally is there until VDR ends.

This is why I think so many of these couples are fakers - those two couples mentioned above by @monagatuna are not polygamists, and at least one of them said that they had been for 20 years. You are not a polygamist until you actually succeed in getting a second wife!! I find it very hard to believe that they just go out picking up young women at bars to date "them" and are successful at it, without telling the gal that she gets to be on tv. Furthermore - historically speaking men would take multiple wives to have lots of children, and the wives were stuck with it. So this whole business of "dating" together and the woman seeking a BFF along with the husband seeking a wife is just silly and impractical. And when we see them "seeking" an older woman that doesn't make sense either. I'm watching in the hope that someone will get wise and knock Garrick's block off, and to see what happens with The Thinker's family - will they find another occupant for their giant bed? The other couples are stupid and IMO not here for the "right reasons" 😄

That was how I felt throughout the season, but after the reunion I'm inclined to give him a little more benefit of the doubt. He said he did tell her privately that the attraction wasn't there; she responded that he was lying and was indeed attracted to her, and he said to Kevin something like, "See, there's the delusion" - made me wonder how many times they had had that conversation, especially if she was drunkenly climbing into the shower with him or pouncing on him in the bed? Emily's friends were certainly bitches who didn't' seem to like her very much. But this reminds me of one of Becca's friends who said to Austin at the wedding reception something like, "Becca's the most sex positive person I know" - I thought at the time that I'd be annoyed if a friend said something like that to my stranger husband. That could have made him wary and weird like he was.

I'm not saying she was dropping them as friends, just that she dropped out of "anger mode" and didn't seem to be part of the attack at the end. (Other than her little warning to Cameron, which was fabulous! 😄)

Since I will never believe a person who shows up on a reality show and says that they never watched the show, I'm assuming they all watched at least a season or 2 to see what they were getting into. Maybe that's where all of the "optics" stuff came from - seeing how previous people were matched and edited! I felt like Lauren started out with the Pink Posse but had a change of heart when she saw how they were acting overall - by the final scenes her body language had her stretching so far in their opposite direction that she was practically in Kevin's lap! 😄 I thought the OP meant "nasty" as in her rude mouth and behavior🤷‍♀️

Haha it was certainly the story she had prepared when the season was supposed to be all about her 😄

I'm pretty sure when they had the conversation and she was weeping to Cal he did ask that question and Austin didn't seem to think it was a big deal and neither did Cal, which is why I don't refer to him as "pastor" anymore. Becca is the one who kept bringing it up - she is the one with the religion problem IMO. Which once again is neither of their fault; it's on the "experts". Proper questioning on the subject of religion would have let them know that Becca doesn't like Christians because they have told her in the past that she is going to hell, and Austin comes from a stricter Christian background which = not a match. It's not rocket science 😄

I don't think it matters - different things are important to different people and it's the "experts"" job to find those things out and match accordingly. Instead they peek in their refrigerators and underwear drawers. He was implying that it was marriage related - he even said he had a 'broken heart"🙄. What a tool. Yes - it's very annoying to me that even with this train wreck, everyone still goes along with the fiction that the "experts" are so expert at what they do. I mean, Emily said on camera, before she was even chosen, that what she likes to do is go out and get drunk with her friends. Now I'm no expert, but I wouldn't pick a woman or man who listed that as their main hobby. They have picked people in the past who say straight out, "If I'm not attracted to my spouse that's it!" which is antithetical to this entire "experiment" or "process". Throughout the season it was very obvious certain things were wrong, specifically with Becca/Austin and Emily/Brennan but the "experts" didn't bring them up and only talked about what the couples were saying, which we now know was a lot of crap, but "experts" are allowed to bring up other obvious things! They suck. I also think he was there for sooner sexy times and lost interest quickly when they didn't happen! No she told us who she was - do they watch none of the footage if they're not involved?

I think Emily's purported fondness for one night stands = what is meant by Emily "sleeps around" and the root of Brennan's issue with her. I remember him saying it early on during their honeymoon and have always felt it was what turned him off. (At the time it seemed like she had told him that - now we find out it was one of her "friends" who told him at the wedding). If he doesn't want a girl who's into one night stands - to me that's the sort of thing that should be discovered in the "extensive personality testing" that the "experts" supposedly do. I do believe that he told her that off camera and she refused to believe it, and he felt it would be rude to say it on tv. Cameron continues to lie - loved his tears for Pepper, and her eyeball roll 😄 I was really hoping for Lauren to talk about Orion setting her up with the "redskin" comment. I did enjoy her telling Cam to step off 🤣

I'll stick up for him here - apparently he told her that he had learned that in church, but SHE was the one fixated upon it with tears in her eyes. And brought it up a couple times, with the comment that she has a problem with Christians over this, and then mocked it after they had broken up. IMO she was the one with the religious hangup, not Austin, - and yes, they never should have been matched because of that.

Haha Sandy would - because he's IN LOVE, dontcha know? 😂😂

So are you saying he "fell in love with her" after the reunion? I agree with James - we all saw him when he was actually in love with Ariana, and none of his interactions with Raquel showed me "love". They barely showed attraction actually - IMO it was mostly an ego thing with him. And now he's looking for sympathy and storyline.

Well - he also blew up the entire plan tonight! Which led to Q's showboating at TC 😄 As for Venus - she has good instincts for the competition, but is a complete fail at the social part of the game.

Scheana told him she referenced his grand passion in her new song, and he stomped around crying and she DGAF either 😂 Because Lisa wants them to of course! She's the producer and she loves showing off her house and I don't blame her. I do blame her for the way they have to beg whilst Lisa pretends to be reluctant 😄

Schwartz seemed the most grown up I've ever seen him this episode - maybe it's good for him to be single!

At last year's reunion when. Andy asked him if he was in love he could barely choke out an obligatory "yes" so I'm not believing his grand passion this year. It sounds like he lucked out anyway - Scheana said Raquel didn't stock toilet paper when she lived with her either! 😂. James gave it to him good and was completely right- I wish he hadn't made the crack about the band being a joke because, although true, it gave something petty for Sandy to focus on rather than the truths James was telling. Although frankly I think Sandy knows it anyway - his "love" is for storyline about the girl who ain't coming back! I'll be laughing until this show ends picturing him at 70 years old singing karaoke and whipping out his penis flute! 🤣
