Just have to chime in on Karen and Miles. I do see how clinical depression might be a deal breaker, especially in the whole MAFS situation. However, I was with my SO/partner/boyfriend for several years. He told me on our first date that he was bipolar. (We had met online and chatted for a few weeks before we met in person.) He told me because he wanted me to know up front and give me the opportunity to nope out if I wanted to. Fortunately, I stuck around. Otherwise, I would have missed out on the best and strongest relationship of my life with a wonderful man. Sure, there were times when things got tough -- when he was depressed and wanted to hibernate or when he got manic and kind of "nuts." But he was extremely diligent about taking his medication and going to his doctor appointments, and the vast majority of the time, he was fabulous. I stuck around even through the hard times because he was just the best. And he was honest with me from the very beginning. He passed away very suddenly not quite two years ago (completely unrelated to his being bipolar), and I still miss him each and every day. All of that is to say that I'm totally pulling for Miles! But I do understand why anyone wouldn't want to deal with a partner with mental illness if they're just getting to know them and that's not what they signed up for. (And now, off my soapbox.)

I do like Bennett and Amelia because they remind me of my geeky high school friends. Of course, I graduated in the late '70s, so . . . But it really does feel like they're both trying WAY too hard to be quirky and "different." Dial it back, guys.

I want that hat!

Staged? On this show? Oh, heavens no! I'm so shocked. Not. 🙂

I'm surprised to find myself really liking Woody. He and Amani are very cute together. "Don't be that person." I keep forgetting about Olivia and Brett. I even forgot Brett's name until they showed it on screen.

I think what it means is that Bennett believes it's wrong (or "unethical") to bring more children into an overpopulated world while there are other children looking for homes. Not saying it's right or wrong. Just one way to look at it. I know some people who feel exactly that way. Of course, I could be totally wrong and he could mean something else entirely.

Well, folks, it's been a joy as always. See ya later!

Caesar, I like you. But I want to slap you into next week. You idiot.

Hey, maybe Jesse set the whole thing up! You know, just for laughs.

Hell, she was hoping to be engaged during this meal!

Well, of course, he is! He's "foreign." And breathing.

Wow!! For a meeting of "soulmates," this is just SOOOOO awkward!

He's everything you want in a man? Speak for yourself, Rebecca.

Romantic? Romantic and horny are NOT the same thing.

But he cut the crusts off! Classy!
