  1. I ended up agreeing with something Ashley said, and a point Tres made. I am in full agreement (and it pains me so) with Ashley, and her stance on apologies. I too, don't think an apology is real and/or sincere, if the apology goes like "I'm sorry, BUT". It gets on my nerves in real life, because does anything good follow the "but" in an apology? It's like my one ex who popped me a good one, his actual apology to me was "I'm sorry I hit you, BUT if you would have stopped acting like a bitch, I wouldn't have hit you". How can a per be truly sorry for their actions, when in the next breath, they are blaming you for their action? All that said, I'm with Ashley on that one. With Tres, I ended up, being firmly on his side, when he called out Vanessa, for not looking at him when he was talking with her. He was talking with her about their apartment situation, and there she was super interested in what was going on with the floor, not hearing a word he said. Tres didn't say what she wanted to hear, so she just stopped listening. From the past few episodes, Vanessa seems kind of emotionally stunted, at the teenager level. When things are good, she is overly giddy like a teenager, when things even get a smidge tough she acts like a petulant teen. I laughed until I cried, during the whole Sam and Neil "do you miss me" part. She kind of set herself up for that, and it was glorious to see it bite her in the butt. Her little temper tantrum on the bed, just sent me over the edge. I admit, I rewound that scene and watched it about 3 times. That has to be, hands down, my favorite scene of the entire series, thus far. You know she was totally expecting him to say he missed her, and when he said he didn't, you could see the wind knocked out of her sails. As an aside, Neil really needs to blink during his talking heads. Did you guys notice, that in one his talking heads, his eyes were open SOOO WIDE, and he didn't blink once. It was totally creepy, and utterly fascinating. They say when a person blinks a lot, that means they're lying. What does it mean, if a person doesn't blink at all, when they are talking? David just annoys me. Sam just annoys me. Neil's unblinking talking head eyes creep me out.
  2. I'm scared to look for my mugshot. I got arrested for underage drinking when I was 19. It was on Halloween, and I was in a Queen Nefertiti (or as I called myself Queen Neverhavetitties) costume and makeup. I even remember doing that drunk, "I LOOK FABULOUS" smile for my mugshot (you know, where the beer goggles affect your own reflection, so you think you look amazing, but in reality your fake eyelash is barely hanging on, and your eyeliner is down to your chin). My mom left me in jail for HOURS, so long that I had to go to court, in front of a judge, to get a talking to. In all honesty, I refuse to look for that mugshot, in earnest. I have looked at the sites that put up funny/awkward/etc mugshots, and mine isn't there, so I revel in my delusion, that my aforementioned mugshot, ceases to exist. I sure as heck don't google myself using my maiden name, to see if it pops up.
  3. I hope you didn't dig too hard. This tidbit has been floating around on other forums, for weeks. There are multiple posts by the same OP, over on the imdb forums. I knew about this stuff, by like episode 4 or 5. Is it true or not...who knows. Do I care if it's true or not...not really. I can't even be arsed to see if it was mentioned here or not. I think it is more than just a coinkydink, that every forum I visit about this show, when people start bagging on Ashley, there is ALWAYS a "David is a criminal, that's why Ashley acts that way".
  4. You have to admit, that this whole thing, smells like a giant "poop emoticon".
  5. My goodness, Cortney sure did post a book there. It doesn't even read like it's from her. There is A LOT of psycho-babble/self-help book in there, especially the whole "emotional intelligence" part.
  6. Narcissists are interesting to watch....from afar. Having to actually deal with them, is mentally taxing, and emotionally draining.
  7. With the way Jaime Otis inserts herself into everything, I would totally buy, that she gets paid per tweet.
  8. LMAO! No I don't. I tend to absentmindedly put mine down somewhere, then go on a hunt later, when I'm looking for it. Like this morning, I put it on top of my washing machine, moved it because I had to do laundry, and right at this very moment, I have no idea where I put it. Ashley is an odd duck, so I have no idea why she would do it. Off the top of my head, I would think that she has something in there, that she wants no one to see. Her purse is like Gretchen Weiners hair...it's full of secrets.
  9. Granted I love my husband with all my heart and would be at a loss without him. If I were to get paid for being married to him, I would demand more than $20k a year. Seems cheap, even for this farce of a show.
  10. Ashley and her crew need to learn the whole "you doth protest too much". The more they go on and on, the less likely I believe what they say. When I do this in real life, I know that you know, that I'm full of crap, I'm just trying to convince you otherwise.
  11. I know this show is about as real as reality TV is. I just love watching people who are bad in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, be even worse in a "married" relationship. Since this show is so predictable, I have fun trying to guess, which couple follows what standard storyline. Not to mention, it is glorious to watch, the editor and production monkeys, do their job when someone strays too far, from their storyline (remember the bitch edit Davina got).
  12. This episode, was just a mess (like every other episode..lol). Neil is what I like to call "left-brained", because he is similar to my husband, who I also call "left-brained", while Sam and myself are what I call "right-brainers". The left-brainers I just see left-brainers ruled by their head and thinking, while right-brainers are ruled by their hearts and emotions. My husband makes logical decisions, where a lot of my decisions are based on what I'm feeling. It like my husband has feelings and whatnot, but he is too busy trying to figure out how to fix the problem, instead of emoting about it, and it comes across as being emotionally detached. I agree with everyone else, on the Ashley situation. She was looking for her "out", and now she has it. While David did pull a bonehead move (more like bonehead wording), Ashley just took it and ran with it. It was hilarious to watch, because of all the BS she said. It was so non-sensical, based on her behavior we have seen, the past 10 episodes. I also got a kick out of her friend's talking head, because you could tell that the struggle was real, when her friend was trying to explain it all. David at the cemetary, equals raging secondhand embarrassment for me. It was just so bizarre and forced, that I cringed the whole way through. From bringing the 6-pack of beer prop, to the emotional breakdown that seemed so fake to me. It was a mix of "is he REALLY that distraught over his dad" mixed with "that was super tacky to use something that personal, as a plot point". Anyhoo, I just thought the whole scene was cringe worthy. Vanessa and Tres seemed so mis-matched to me this episode. Tres seems to be into the small, thoughtful gestures, and overwhelmed by big ones. Where as Vanessa seems to be into huge romantic gestures, while totally overlooking all the small, thoughtful ones, that are thrown her way. He seemed overwhelmed by her gift basket, not because of what was in it, but because it was so in your face, While Vanessa seemed indifferent to all the little things he did for her, like the little pot of flowers and the cold medicine. Vanessa just comes across, as the type of person, who thinks what a person does directly correlates to how they feel about her. The bigger the thing, the more they like/love her, where the smaller the thing they like/love her less.
  13. The Vanessa/Tres/BFF thing, hit too close to home, and took me back to my single days, and how crappy I was in relationships. Back then, I had a boyfriend, that had a girl BFF, plus having my won abandonment/trust issues and lack of communication skills. It was a recipe for disaster, and the relationship imploded, with disastrous results. Watching Vanessa, was like watching myself, 15+ years ago. While how she acted wasn't the right way, I totally understand why she reacted that way.
  14. EXACTLY, it would be reality TV gold. I am under no illusions, that any of these people will fall in love, and will stay married, if there isn't a paycheck involved. The storyline is getting stale, because it has been the same, and will probably be in play next season. Mix it up a little, have a guy act like a shallow jerk in the beginning, while everyone feels bad for the girl. Then, a few episodes in, guy realizes girl is totally awesome and falls for her, and everyone goes "yay". ETA: I stand by my statement, that drunk monkeys could not do any worse, than the "experts" in matching people.
  15. Doesn't worrying about future dates, kind of defeat the purpose of going on a show, where you get married to a stranger, in an attempt to fall in love and stayed married?
