Dear GOD. I hope we don't have to watch her shake her thang like that one year.

I think given the template that so many shows use now (preview snippet, actual footage, recap, next preview snippet, etc.,), there's no way to change or improve this show. If they decided to really try to make decent matches and support them properly, AND change the layout of the show, we might stand a chance of seeing real people really trying to make a real go at being married. As it is right now, we have complete nonsense.

Dude. What do you think? Your significant other is more than a few hours late with NO EXPLANATION and you'd be okay with it? ?? Even with none of the above --- out of MUTUAL RESPECT you tell your "other half " that you're okay. It's called accountability.ETA Jack, I didn't mean for that to come off as rude. Reading it back it seems that way to me but was never my intention.

I just know that I'm definitely indigenous. As are most of my remarks.

Indigenous? As in, occurring naturally?

OK, just watched the Matchmaking episode (thank you very much to the poster who brought that to my attention), and it's verrrry interesting. My 2 big takeaways: 1) Ashley has a degree in psychology and I would bet money that she skewed her results to the questionnaire by giving the answers she thought they wanted rather than truthfully, aaaayyyyuund, 2) How cool to see Neil being so open to trimming his beard, and how awesome to see all his amazing and supportive friends rally around him. I can see now how beaten down he was as the marriage went on; same goes for Vanessa, for that matter.

Have to totally agree with this. He's classy, she's not. Which makes me think of the scene during their honeymoon where she says they're both nice people...HA! This, while messing with her hair and putting it up in a bun at a dining table. I see this a lot lately -- WHY would someone think this is okay? It's not, and is gross. If you know you're going to eat and your nasty mane is going to get in the way, deal with it before you enter the restaurant, please. Please. End of rant.

Screen tests. Ask a question, like what their favorite color is, and if the response is, "Uuuummmmmmmmmmmmm," followed by crickets --- NEXT! !!

I dont know if they would want her. Clown makeup and clothing is always of a certain type, like sad, silly, happy, contemplative. I don't know if there is a type that says Mute Evil Bitch That Says Uuuummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Excellent predictions, Paddywagon! I'd ammend #4 to say that David falls in love with the voodoo doll and they end up happily ever after :)

I completely agree with both of you. No pain, no gain. And that goes for actual decision making as well.

I do tend to agree with the notion that if Ashley gave David an inch, he'd take a mile. And I also agree that some of his delusional behavior was producer driven to just have something to film. I think I've said before that I'm no fan of David, but Ashley ... ... ... I can't get my head around. Maybe she does treat all men that way (hence looking for InstaSpouse), but you'd think that an intelligent being would, at the very least for posterity, behave CIVILLY to another person ON CAMERA. We never heard her talk about her family or even initiate a single conversation except, of course, the SM date accusation. Maybe bitchiness is a symptom of something much greater in her case. Again, I didn't see the early episodes so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

I have no idea what is being said in other forums or SM, but I'm pretty sure I have not read a single post here that hates on Ashley because she didn't give it up for a guy she finds unattractive. We find her despicable because she acted like a mute bitch 99.99% of her time on camera. That's it.

It is 6 months since decision day and I'm really curious as to WHY Sam insists on having us look up her nostrils every chance she gets.

Thank you! I would NEVER have figured that out.

Somebody please tell me what YMMV means! You move me Vanessa? You make me vomit? Yon mountain man vamoosed? Yowza moo moo vroom!?

Let's see...David and Sam, Neil and Vanessa, Tres and Ashley. There. I've done the experts jobs for them. Paycheck, please!

I agree. And I definitely wouldn't have been matched with my husband. We have nothing in common other than being human and walking into a particular pub on a particular night 30 years ago. He says he was impressed because I was drinking pints like a guy and I liked his mischievous grin...the rest is history ;)But seriously, their soundbites for being matched are really, really lame.

I don't blame him for wanting the divorce but I am surprised given his reaction when in the car Sam said she expected him to ask for one. He looked over at her with astonishment. Perhaps it's because of editing, but that is the one thing that makes me go, "Hmmmmm".

Not sure if this is relevant, and really not sure what my point is (LOL), but I have a friend from college who seemed to hate everybody but a select few. I, for some reason, was one of the few. Could never understand why she liked me and not others. Always expected she'd turn on me but she never did. She had guys falling all over her and never gave them the time of day. I guess what I'm saying is some people are really picky and know this about themselves? She maintains these close friendships still. Perhaps we all "put her in her place" early on in our relationships with her, IDK. I think maybe Sam really does see Neil as unfaltering or unflappable and that is meaningful to her. I'll shut up now because I'm confusing myself.

I keep thinking the 2nd part is on tonight, like American Idol or something.

Perfect!

I truly believe she should be sued for breach of contract. She wasted everyone's time, effort and money. I never saw the first few shows and was shocked that she could be heard saying she did not like him in the bathroom. She was horrible to him from day one. Truly, I can't believe the show actually let this go on. So freaking bizarre. ETA: Ashley, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I won't list the reasons why, just read this forum. Ashley's mom, I'm sorry your daughter has turned out to be such a horrible person. I don't know how Ashley can even sleep at night.

Yes, FYI, but I don't get why it's longer than on the other channel. It's not Jamie, either, because that started afterwards. I guess just more filler or more ads. Weird. LOL, exactly. Here's where Cold, Dead Fish Bitch fits most. Alas, we didn't get to see David give her those 3 gifts of 2 middle fingers and a jar of wax.
