This. well said.

I really really wish they would have added "He'll always be welcome at my table."

My two cents: Woody and Amani - love them. I was concerned initially that Woody was a player, but he has made a few comments about his understanding of marriage ("She makes more money than you, deal with it") and he is completely open to listening and accepting his wife's opinion (e.g., about corporal punishment). He does not get defensive, and neither does she. I think they will stay together. Amelia and Bennett - love them. I cannot remember a season in which I watched a couple and thought, I want my daughter to watch this and see how easy marriage can be if you both want it to be. I feel the same way about Woody and Amani. I know there have been many comments about cleanliness, etc., but watch how they discuss everything and both feel comfortable that in giving their own opinions they will still be appreciated. I absolutely love how they make everything an "adventure" - for example, the fact that they decided to do a draft for household chores. I laughed out loud at "make uncomfortable phone calls" and "deal with interloping animals." That's what makes a marriage fun. I think they will stay together. Brett and Olivia - well. I think the editing initially made him look like an ass (which he was) but now we are seeing how rigid she is about her demands from a husband. I think he is reacting to that by being even more difficult, like he was at trivia night. By the way, that was not trivia as others have posted. She is expecting him to be like her, and he is pushing back. I think they will get a divorce. Christina and Henry - where do I start. Let's face it - he is not attracted to her physically or mentally or emotionally or any which way. And he is too polite to say that, and she is pushing it. If a man is attracted to a woman, she does not have to keep asking why he is not attracted to her. Not his type, not her type, move on. Plus, she has this Disney princess thing in her head and she is not a Disney princess by any definition. I predict divorce. Miles and Karen - Love Miles. Karen, despite her age, is a bit immature when it comes to relationships. However, she is just not attracted to him despite what she says. That's the thing about chemistry (see Amani and Woody above) - you put up with a LOT when you are physically attracted to someone. The whole thing about "sex with my wife" was a little annoying, but come on, you were not unsafe. He was attracted to you and you were not attracted to him. That being said, I like them both and hope they work out.

So funny, I was thinking the same thing about the music. My daughter and I laugh all of the time about the crap, second hand music they play on this show. I said out loud that they should hire these two! And I was alone. Don't judge.

Wait, don't forget, "he'll always have a seat at my table." I wish I had a dollar for every time Dorinda repeated that ridiculous phrase. I'm so glad she's gone.

So to confirm, anyone with minimal talent, a huge ego and a pathological need for attention can play Roxie Hart on Broadway?

I would second that with PLEASE get rid of Kyle, Teddy, and Erika. They are all just catty, rude, and downright nasty, and likely doing it hoping they will have more air time.

^This! In the first episode or so, I thought well, she’s not a classic beauty but she’s cute. Now having seen her personality I find her repulsive. And when she speaks and spews out “like” every other word like a middle school kid my ears start to bleed. Derek deserves so much better.

I am just now watching this episode, and if I hear the word "like" one more time my ears will start bleeding. Listening to Katie is completely unbearable. Taylor is almost as bad. Why can't these adults learn how to speak without sounding like 14-year-old Valley girls? (I'm from the Valley so I know whereof I speak.) I would prefer watching something with subtitles that cut out every other word, because every other word is "like." I actually, like, considered, like, not like watching this like show like anymore. Am I alone here? 😒

Apologies if someone posted something similar before (trying to read through all of the comments!), but the thing this show does wrong, or should I say the MAIN thing, is that they discount chemistry. Two really attractive people can look great on paper but have no chemistry in real life. I'm sure we all know a couple of people that we think "don't go together" but still find each other attractive and have a great relationship. And thank God for that! There is just no way an "expert" can determine this before two people meet. Zach is just not attracted to Mindy - through no fault of her own - and you can't force that. I understand the concept of "growing to love someone" but in our current culture I think a relationship like that working is extremely rare.

I said this exact thing to my daughter after the first episode. Physical beauty can only go so far and matching someone so intelligent with a beer salesman (let's face, that's what he is) with no higher education is just not going to work. Eventually she will feel that she has married down and he will feel intimidated and take it out on her. Just my $0.02.

Vicki is just so...stupid. And even stupider because she thinks she's intelligent. I assume she meant "semantics" not "schematics." And Vickie, you are not funny, entertaining, or even palpable. You are a liar that long ago wore out your welcome on this show. Please get demoted again to completely gone.

I know! I really do believe what some of the other posters are saying - that these are paid actors. Although terrible actors and probably not paid well. I know it's reality TV after all, but the "situations" are more contrived than anything I've seen before. On another note - did anyone else notice in the preview for next week when the hip hop guy and his girlfriend (can't even be bothered to remember their names) were at the jewelry store? The woman behind the counter was appraising her new bracelet and said, "It's CZ. Cubic Cirzonia." I had to play it back because I thought I had misheard. This show is just so low rent. And yet here I am.

^THIS! I actually have to fast forward through his talking head scenes because the way he talks makes my skin crawl. Maybe too close to Hannibal Lechter and his fava beans speech. I don't know what it is but I know I don't want to see it.
