  1. This isn't really related to the episode per se, but the season as a whole:

    Jesus FUCKING Christ, enough with the "it's all or nothing" theme song. I never want to hear that again in my entire life.

    At least the couples don't seem to hate each other compared to the venereal disease of a show the last two seasons were.

    George is stupid about money because he is a child essentially.  Boys go on their mission at 19 so its possible he had already started college and then took a break.  But here is a novel thought.  Complete your degree THEN get married.  But I saw this with my cousins.  The boys went on their mission at 19 with a 16 year old girl waiting in the wings (that they didn't know REALLY well).  When the boy returned the wedding was within 3 months, pregnant within a year.  

    1/2 my family is Mormon and live in Salt Lake City.  My female cousins did go to school but only to find a Mr (you would not be able to tell they made it through the 4th grade based on their writing skills shown in the yearly Christmas letter, HORRIFIC).  My cousins wife actually went to PA school but never used it and became a mom (to many).  I was advising pre-med students at the time and knew how hard it was to get into PA school so I felt she really should have given her spot to someone who was actually going to use the degree.  I don't think wives are expected to work.  My cousins all had hobby jobs once their kids got in school.  They were also big on Amway, Blue Blockers, and other pyramid scheme things.

    As someone who moved out at 17 (in 1986 1 month before my 18th bday) and was self supporting at 19 I find the Hailey whinefest REALLY effing irritating.  IF you cannot be apart from your family for any length of time when phones, skype, facetime, etc are all available you are NOT ready to be married.  Probably should have started with summer camp to get used to being away from the bosom of your VERY involved mother.  This couple clearly makes me a little stabby.

    As someone who went to a community college then transferred to a state university last year away from home, I agree. I think she'll get used to it.

    I still don't understand how Dr. Pepper is still on the show.  She always seems to have harebrained ideas about the match ups.  I distinctly remember her saying about some couple's matching that "they'd be sexy together."  I'd have a bit more faith in this season if they'd brought in new "experts" entirely.

    I'll say it once, I'll say it again: That's how you cast a porno.

    Spoiler

    Blonde girl with an espresso machine? (that grey thing on her stove) Most Miami thing I've seen all day. I'm waiting for her to pop into fluent Spanish.

    I think the best way for Travis to understand the issue is to take his skateboard and spending money away and leave him in an apartment with a colicky infant and no air conditioning for a weekend.

    They would have to disinfect the entire city of Irvine after that.

    How successful has fyi's latest foray into unusual marriages been?

    View the full article

    Not as bad as Married at First Sight - that fucking venereal disease of a program - but still awful. How do they keep getting couples who are fundamentally horrible for each other? They have a 100% success rate on that, at least.

    If a bachelor doesn't live in a scenic locale, do you think they film the hometown date in front of a green screen?  Also, what was with those funky plastic wine glasses at Robby's house??

    Waiting for the day that someone's hometown is some Midwest town with eight houses and a yet-to-be-demolished empty strip mall.

  7. Come the fuck on, you're shedding tears over four guys, Jojo. One of them will pop the question and then break up with you on the plane ride back, two of them will go have normal lives and Jordan Rodgers will never leave the public spotlight. He was on the Bachelorette and his brother is Wisconsin's idea of a canonized saint.

    Kind of surprised  (yes. I know it's scripted), that Haile's dad doesn't pull mom Christy aside and tell her to stfu about living close when grand babies are born. That is none of her business. Haile and George are both so immature and they should be at 18 and 20. Mormons notoriously marry young, but these two are reeeeaaaallllyyy young. Hubby and I disagree to a point of abortion rights,  so we took steps to make sure both of my pregnancies were planned and after we were done, he had a vasectomy. Problem solved. Birth control can be all but 100% effective, so Travis wrap it up if you and Brenda aren't ready to have a child. I like big goofy Joey, but Emma is outpacing him in maturity a lot these days. I think she was hoping he'd change, but he can't/won't.  In five years, only Halie and George will still be married I predict.

    I consider it a miracle of divine proportions if the other two last three years.

  9. Wait. Isn't Seattle as or more expensive than NYC? Couldn't they just split the difference and go to like, the Midwest or something? 

    1. They'd be paying much less. God almighty, with today's interest rates, they could get a McMansion with an 8-car garage and a butler who will hokey pokey on cue for what they're paying in New York.
    2. There's Orthodox Jews everywhere. 

    If that fails, maybe Jersey or Pennsylvania. They're not far from NYC then.

    Wow. I can't see Brenda/Travis working out at all after this. He'd prefer abortion to be illegal?

    Emma and Joey aren't gonna make it either, i suspect. Still not sure why they even got married in the first place. They should've just lived together first.

    Yeah, I have no idea what possessed those two to ever wed.

    Some people change politically, but rarely.

    Travis....really? Brenda continues to be a peach. What does she see in him?

    Emma and Joey. So because you were together from 15/16 to 19/20...it was time to get married. Oh okay. I have hope for Joey. He's a classic example of how women mature faster than me. I could've done without the old ball and chain quips. Fighting naked is great advice.

    I give both of them 3 years.

  12. Why does Oscar the Grouch reincarnated into an adolescent and then bathed into slime - aka Travis not have an amp? Go to a pawn shop and get an acoustic guitar for like, $30. No one wants to hear your ratty ass electric guitar without an amp.

  13. FUCK this stupid little insipid man-child Ben!!! In what world does he get off thinking he can treat Vicki like an indentured servant?!! Fucking guy! 

    UGH, Vicki needs to get out there, file an annulment and maybe look for love somewhere else. She's in New York for fuck's sake, only Israel itself is more Jewish. She could find a much better guy.

    God I love this show. It just seems these couples cannot be for real - its mind-blowing really.  Emma's flat affect drives me nuts!  They seem like such a strange couple to me. I cannot believe she is sexually attracted to Joey. They are so young and they already have that parent/child dynamic going on.

    Reason #15,587 that most 18-21 year olds aren't ready to get married. Signed, that demographic!
