    I’ve often wondered how the F1 accepts the fact that her fiancé slept with others within days of their proposal. It’s not normal, TV show or not. 

    Me too.  Marriage is about loving your spouse above everyone else, and the degree to which these kids think they can sleep with one person one day, and propose to someone else within a day or two is bewildering.  They're just setting themselves up for constant questions going forward.

    I am always nonplussed at how easy shambling zombies are able to overtake animals. I wonder if any of the writers has tried to catch a dog that didn't want to be caught, for example.

    An athletic NFL player couldn't even catch a chicken.  How are decrepit walkers going to catch a horse.

    Totally agree that he’s just being polite.  She’s not ready for another relationship yet.  Everything about choosing Jed over Tyler should have caused her to question her judgment.

    Has she ever been ready for a relationship?

    This show IS about sex, unless the lead is upfront about not participating in it.  And the whole born-again virgin thing is bizarre; why can't those types just say they don't want sex on the show - or not talk about it at all?  The men who are assumed to have sex in the FS, or elsewhere, get the "Look at the ol' horndog, heh heh" reaction.  But women are still called sluts.  It's crap.  I'm not a fan of Hannah otherwise, but good for her for slamming the shamers.  I loved her Scarlet Letter comment.

    Not a matter of slutty or not slutty.  It's a matter of what their behavior says about their willingness to sacrifice for and love the person to whom they propose, man or woman.  I'm kind of shocked so many woman accept that behavior in men.  Shows no self-respect (which I guess is a pre-requisite for being on this show).

    Of course it isn't unreasonable if this were real life. But they are on a 'reality' show where she is dating 20 men. Sorry but expecting fidelity and so forth in such a situation is ridiculous. Personally? After what he said, I would have let that asshat think I slept with every single one of the guys except him. I don't think her incredulity is puzzling at all. It is none of his damn business what she does with any of the other guys. Period. That's the point of this stupid show.

    And she owes him? Pffft. Let that stalkerish idiot leave. He seems dangerous, controlling and far too judgemental for anyone in this universe.

    Honestly the most I have enjoyed her for most of this season was her finally seeing Luke and getting pretty mad.

    I don't think she owes him anything either, and believe, like you, that he should have just walked away if he wasn't happy with her actions.  What I find puzzling is that she as a human being would be shocked that someone who wants to be her husband would be upset if she slept with the other guys on the show within a week of engagement, reality show or not.  You can do anything you want in life, and no one has the right to judge her as less of a person, but men certainly do have the right to determine if her actions hurt their feelings and assess whether her actions are something they want in a life-long partner.

  6. Taking the religious faith out of this, I don't think it is unreasonable for any man or woman to want their potential fiance to want them enough to refrain from sex with others within a week of their potential engagement.  Hannah's incredulity is puzzling.  Luke really just wants to know that she respects and cares about him enough to commit to him and refrain from sex with others.  Once Luke learned that she didn't, he should have just left.

    Don't get me wrong, Luke has all the traits of a nihilist and controlling husband.  But on this specific issue, I would want some confirmation that she cares about me enough to show some  signs of exclusivity, and some chastity with other men, as a sign that she loves me.
