flaky

Prefacing this by saying I really don't like Johnny and I don't think Bao is perfect. I'm going to be objective based on what I've seen so far. Johnny keeps mentioning on unfiltered that Bao isn't genuine and her true behavior comes out when the camera stops rolling. The example he gave on unfiltered is that she is a 'debbie downer' behind the scenes and another time mentioned that she has social anxiety. The main issue I have with this is not once did he mention all these on camera (outside of unfiltered) meaning if what he is saying is true he was also not being genuine when cameras are rolling. Today's episode he was talking about this 'convo' with Sarah that was incriminating. He mentioned how in past relationships Bao had broken down the men so that they would end up leaning on her. Now, let's even assume this is true, she has not exhibited this specific behavior in their relationship, so why judging her based on that? If anything Johnny has been the one cutting her down consistently (We've seen the reel multiple times) with his words. She asked what Sarah specifically mentioned on camera, and he chose not to respond claiming he doesn't want to put this on Sarah. You mean after you blindsided your wife to bring it up to not only Dr. Pepper but on camera too? Him getting all 'can you see how you saying 'the ball is in your court Johnny' makes it seem like its all my fault' is sooooo stupid. Yes , Johnny the ball is in your fucking court because you just dropped a bombshell about her friend, saying that's the reason why you stopped trying and don't want to fully address it. Say what you will about Bao, everything that she has said about his behavior is not only true but we've seen evidence of it. Johnny is mean (True) Johnny wants me to initiate intimacy (True) Johnny uninvited me from meeting his family (True) I could go on and on but I'm tired.

That bee analogy is still sending me....I appreciate what he is trying to do but that was sooooo funny. I wish Ryan showed more emotion while reading the notes. He may not feel sparks yet but he needs to at least engage on the journey. Jose, Please don't ask your wife to say something twice. She said it once, you listen once. That's the way an adult relationship works, saying things twice is for kids and since you like to talk about 'as a man' please act like one. It's really hard to tell if Myrla really likes Gil or not but at least they are civil towards one another. I think brunch every weekend would wear me out. I love me some long mornings to sleep but eating out twice a month for dinner is totally reasonable. Johnny....hmmmm.... Please let Bao paint in peace. Not everything has to be foreplay. I couldn't help but laugh at what he considers to be an argument. 'Ask me stuff' no wait 'don't ask me stuff' . Well which is it? I just feel sorry for Bao. Makes total sense that he learnt sex from hentai though.

Damn! I don't even know where to begin with Johnny 😖 . I was actually cool with Johnny finally having some self-awareness regarding his unrealistic expectations in a marriage but I think it was selfish of him to dump all that on Bao and then say 'Let's sleep on it' . He truly is dismissive of her feelings because how do you not give someone a chance to at least react to a bombshell like that? If he is this overwhelmed at this point, he is not ready for marriage. Some of the husbands need to learn a thing or two about oversharing. Gil with the Divorce; Jose with the effing whiteboard. I have never felt such second hand embarrassment like why? Even his step mother in law had to advice Rachel against the stupid joint account idea (I'm ok with joint accounts for couples if both parties are down with it but definitely not a control freak like Jose) The real loser in this ep was we the viewers Because this is week 2 for the couples and we are on episode 8....talk about dragging shit out!!!

I think this was the episode that sealed it for me that I prefer Bao to Johnny. Just hear me out. Yes she made me roll my eyes with her reaction to the jersey as a gift but I'm analyzing their behavior as a whole and how they have responded to each other when they have shared emotional moments. First when Johnny mentioned his dad and how that lack of a solid relationship has affected him (even while being close to tears), not once did Bao try to minimize or dismiss that reaction. All she did was pay attention and listen to him while reassuring him with physical touch. When she brought up the snoring jokes and how they are hurtful, He tried to minimize that by making it seem like it was an overreaction on her part and that she couldn't take jokes properly. He called it a Red flag! Everybody has something they are sensitive about, it doesn't have to make sense to others. For him it's his father, for her it's her snoring. All he had to do was display half of the empathy she did when he opened up about his dad while discussing the snoring and that would have been the end of the matter. When he was talking about having gone on 100 first dates, she didn't judge him, didn't go hmmm red flag! Then the whole neat/shower thing, look even I don't fully agree with her routine as described but at least she was being honest and trying to manage his expectations on that. He called it a red flag again. In fact, since they met at the alter he has been the one saying if they were dating, he would have walked away at a number of points now. I wonder if there have been other 'arguments' that we didn't get to see between them because I'm really suspecting if all these things he refers to as arguments are just conversations that he is picking off as red flags on his end. They have been together for 7days and he doesn't want her talking about the past??? I worry that there won't be any red flags left on earth for Johnny at the end of 6 weeks with the rate at which he is picking them. Notice I didn't even touch on his remarks on Unfiltered......

I was screaming while watching Mark and Lindsey...best dance of the season for me. I wish Len hadn't brought up the hand movement with Jordan.... now I can't unsee it. It actually looks funny and almost bordering on camp when Jordan moves his hands that way. Maks should please allow Vanessa dance without the troupes, it's getting very repetitive now.

I've been a silent reader but I actually created an account just to leave a comment on this episode. This was easily my least favorite episode. They just made Greg very terrible this episode (especially at the wedding), it was painful to watch. I'm looking forward to season 2 though.
