Ya. Derek got defensive, that's BAD. BAD REACTION. BAD COMMUNICATION. NOT the way to get her to open her mind. I accept her concern, but she MUST EXPLAIN what she needs to get over it & also reassure him & he needs to tell her MORE about how he will try to grow in love! She should NOT hold it against him like that. COME ON!! She wouldn't like it if he held it against her that she'd been in love & those relationships FAILED. #BOOM! Now, WHY is it so effin hard for her to say, "It's seems you're not OPEN to being in love & him reassuring her that he is, he wants to be." THAT EFFIN SIMPLE!! Glad they were able to resolve it. It should've been Derek who addressed it & him snapping, FIRST, though. Seemed he was waiting for her to say something. NO! YOU messed up, YOU address & FIX IT!!

Brandon & Taylor are HOLDING BAAAAAAAACK what the other NEEDS to KNOWWWWWW, which keeps them STUCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! I just learned this, it's ANNOYING!! WORSE, Taylor took a dig, instead of ASKING him to explain himself!! TSK! TSK! AGAIN, they explain to the CAMERAS & NOT their spouse, WHO is that HELPING?? GEEZ!! He told her he's fine with her taking pics of her food. WTF is she calling her HUSBAND, "Bro"?!! I think they looped that video for effect. Then she asked & he said NOTHING. If he has an issue, BE AN ADULT & SAY IT! QUIT LETTING IT BUILD! IT'S STUPID!!!

Meka meant, "It feels good to finally take my fake hair off with Michael." 😂😂

He said that because he SHOULD have. Societal norm applied to an unconventional marriage. He also kissed her (then later told her he felt nothing), and put on a great ACT to give her a dream wedding day or show what a great actor he can be, only to REPEATEDLY tell her he's not attracted to her. He wouldn't say, "You like nice, I just don't want to look at you," now would he? 😂

Needs? Ehhhhhhhh. More like, chose. He probably didn't apply & was recruited, BIG TIME & he bought into whatever they sold him & is staying for the camera time. 😂😂

Good on Michael with them gestures!! I wonder if they were ALL him though, after his meet with Brandon. Still. Very good. However, he should've communicated that he didn't want to have the conversation, instead of walking away & putting them in a weird place. & YES Michael, lying is "REDEKLESS"! 😂😂

Reminds me of season 4's Sonia & her GAY husband. Hmm. They might've already been secretly having sex at that point, but eh. That instructor was WEIRRRRRRRD!! 😂

Oh geez! 7 minutes in & apparently Michael's LYING??!! COME ONNNNNNNN!! I don't like the conversation going one way & the testimonials going another. She coulda asked him ALL OF THAT & saw it for herself. I think that should've been an "us" decision, he could've at least given her a heads up, instead of dropping it on her like that. She should've been FULLY AWARE of the situation.

I think they have to contact the experts for help. Maybe Brandon did it later or they got back to him later when they had time. The experts seem very hands-off. They're really letting them twist in the wind. 😂

Cuz she's literally PHONING IT IN!! 😂😂 My guesses: they prefer to meet with both spouses, but probably her schedule was too busy to go there or something. What she said was stupid anyway. She let her lie & get away with the bs.

I suspect it was PASTED in editing. We don't see her say it to Taylor, so we don't know for sure & it's definitely doubtful. She told her to be "open." It looks like she called out her BS in the testimonial, but not to her face. 😂

LAWD!! Michael flipped the picture. He dumb. 😂

Brandon is STEWING beneath the surface. I'm glad he's keeping it in, but he needs to COMMUNICATE with his WIFE!! He should be at it EVERY DAY trying to make it right & get back in her good graces/bed. 😂 He was STILL shutting her out when she said it's ALSO what he wants to do & he kept saying it's whatever she wants to do. I HATE THAT!! When someone puts what they do on the other person, but maybe that means they've stated what they want & are awaiting the other person's decision & that's the holdup. Then THEY decide what's next.

So Meka brought up the rings to avoid questions from friends & family. & Michael caved. I hope he did PROCESS their discussion & really did agree. I wanna know WHERE he was at with wearing his ring. I still think he waiting til they had sex.

Oh really? There's no substance?? WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING TO HAVE SUBSTANCE?? Take some ACCOUNTABILITY! It won't just fall from the sky one day!! 😂 They're just waiting at their plateau? So stupid.

HAAAAAAAA!! Mindy's angry friend is HILARIOUS!! Still seems she held back getting BOTH of them ALLLLLLL the way together though! ALL the friends seemed to accept his bs. 😒 Nice seeing him called out though, too bad it wasn't to his face & OVER the OBVIOUS divorce edge! She woulda been the PERFECT SCAPEGOAT!! He shoulda ran away IMMEDIATELY with a HUGE crooked smile on his face!! He coulda been like, "Your mean friend drove me away!!" 😂😂 Now, whether Mindy would've been smart enough to see through that & not blame her friend is up in the air. I think she wouldn't have blamed her completely, but would have some resentment or they BOTH could be grateful to her for ending it for them! That would've been an interesting scenario/FANTASY.

Derek uses his words VERY POORLY & the WRONG ones!! Good on Dad for pointing that out! Dad's ON IT!! But WHY does it seem like they've never had this conversation before? About love, successful relationships, effective communication. Derek should've already learned about that. Hope Dad gets his neck back one day. 😂 Derek doesn't CARE what his WIFE needs. Did Derek tell Katie what he needs? #BASICS "You're doing this with someone else, not just yourself, what about your spouse?" Good line Derek, look into this mirror real quick!! 😂😂

Yup. He's PERFECT! Totally COHERENT & very DIRECT! We all feel so bad for his suffering he's going through FAKING like he's trying to grow his marriage! He such a great liar, he could ALMOST pass for an actor! Totally CONVINCING! He gets more & more attractive the more we see his jacked up bottom teeth behind his LYING lips! He gave up so much that he's still meeting with his wife & said he's committed to the marriage, WHY???? That takes TWO & he has no problem being a selfish prick! We feel so bad that he can't fully commit to QUITTING! What? Someone good-looking's gotta be in the shot? He's doing it for America? The PATRIOT! Give him a MEDAL! HOW is telling her he's not attracted, not to call him her husband, not wearing his ring, & refusing to move in, "letting her down easy?" He's been rude, disrespectful, & downright vile & Mindy is the one treating their spouse better than they DESERVE! WHEN is this "letting her down easy" going to wrap up? We all want it to be over with, for his sake. His poor suffering, showing up for filming & finding different ways to spew the same garbage, which would be significantly LESS had he decided to divorce! But those cameras, they NEED him, huh?? 😂😂

TERRIBLY MORBIDLY!! 😨😨 I thought she was 2 Taylors, maybe 2 Mindys or 1.5 Taylors. But hey, she came on the show anyway. That's so brave! 😅 Maybe seeing herself on tv will spark the change.

We don't know that he feels badly. Time will tell, but he seems okay with it & if he is, that's all that matters.

THIS! They're tryna out FAKE each other & on Decision Day, Mindy's gunna UNLOAD & BURN THE PLACE DOWN!! I hope! 😂

EXXXXXXXXACTLY!! He should move along with his bs & quit LYING. He owes her the TRUTH! Not just that he's not attracted, but that he's QUIT the marriage & is just there for his closeup of his rabbit bottom teeth. 😂😂

MAJOR FAILURE on Pastor Cal's part to STOP that "ex" narrative & focus on Derek revising his timeline for love & getting them to a better place about it.

Totally appropriate! They didn't get it from their wives they disrespected or the experts. They had it coming. It was overdue. Zach needed more to get him to quit the show.

If he won't stop, perhaps she can share her bathroom humor during "sexy time." I wonder if he'd find it funny then. 😂
