It was funny hearing cool, urban music playing over the white couples. It was good music though! 😂

YUPPPP!! I DON'T need to hear Brandon's drivel about insta models, projecting his stereotypes. Taylor is your WIFE, so SHUT UP about her "huge following" & OBSERVE! Don't CREATE a problem! I CAN'T STAND hearing people whine about "OTHERS" & including their prospect when they don't even KNOW them! FOCUS on FINDING OUT how the person is that you're dealing with! I appreciate their convo & I hope he meant what he said. He did it the right way & OBSERVED & brought it up, for CLARITY, at an appropriate time. SCORE FOR UNDERSTANDING & OPEN COMMUNICATION!!😄 We need to see more of that! Such a welcome change from the spouses telling everyone EXCEPT their spouse! That's always been my complaint. 😂

Ya know, maybe Michael will "feel" like a husband when they consummate their marriage. That's what his bs really means. 😂😂

WTF is this "best friend" crap?? You don't even know their middle name, COOL IT!! Sounds so fake & forced. Slow your roll!

Cuz that's how men work?? They're NOT attracted to someone & become attracted after having sex with them?? RIIIIIIIIGHT. 😂 NAH. They're USERS & TAKE what they can get, given the OPPORTUNITY! Highly UNLIKELY a guy would have that approach. It would just be a SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP. That's why Zach's abstaining cuz he already knows he's out & would just be using her for sex. Shocking he's actually doing something right. I can't believe it.

But that's the thing, they don't want to try ANYTHING! They QUIT, WITHOUT telling their spouse, & just 'participate' until Decision Day. I doubt we'll ever hear that conversation & just keep getting a bunch of despicable bs. 😂 I just want quitters GONE! That'd be best!

Ohhhh. The CLASSICK "turn-off" tactic where someone acts awful to make the other person leave so they get what they want, but makes it seem like it's the other person's idea. 😂😂 So pathetic & worthless.

She knows. She's just confused by his words & doesn't know what to do. He put it on her, instead of being an adult & OWNING it. He's MIND FVCKING her cuz he's tryna be good & not physically eff her. 😂 He should've just said, "I'm not attracted to you & I won't try to be, I think it's best we quit." JFC!! It's NOT EFFIN COMPLICATED!! & she's letting him bs her, so she's to blame, too. Will either one be an adult?!! Methinks NOT!! 😂

Nahhhhhhhh. If that was the case, WHY push sex?? He was already tryna get into details of frequency BEFORE his first hit! 😂😂

She really had that man sleep in a damn ROBE!! Ya doing TOO MUCH girl!! Abusing the control he's letting her have & really pushing it! She needs to pull back with that. Props to him for rolling with it. Prolly cuz he's on thin ice. Hope those things were trivial & he didn't mind too much. He needs to take a stand tho, push back some cuz the more she gets used to it, the harder it'll be to change it & it could blow up in both their faces. 😅

I feel like "pretty" is a BREADCRUMB! It's a little scrap of SOMETHING to make someone feel they look okay. Especially the way Zach says it! AND it's DELIBERATE!! Like he's tryna preserve her self-esteem, while saying he's not attracted. That's gotta SUCK!! For me, it's what our mommies call us as children. After childhood, it's juvenile to me. It's nothing I want to hear, does nothing for me. They know better compliments & I'd rather have them or NOTHING at all!

Issa missing ring BONANZA!! 😂😂 I think Mindy wasn't wearing a ring @ that same dinner she called Zach out at. Brandon freaked out & threw the ring. WTF?!! They too loose with it, shows the people who aren't taking it seriously. They should be holding those damn things REAL CLOSE, they MEAN SOMETHING!! I'm not buying Zach's bs excuse. She should DUG to get to the truth & asked what the ring symbolizes, does he want to wear it, does he feel married, would he care if she wore her ring, does he care how she feels about him not wearing his ring?

We knew Brandon was gunna act out AGAIN, but throw the ring & leave his s#%t?? Idk man. I'd want to let him resolve his own temper tantrum. That was TOO MUCH!! Give him those 10 minutes & LEAVE HIS ASS at the hotel!! 😂😂 Do they seriously not explain filming BEFOREHAND or did he NOT LISTEN?? Plus, he did say he gets cranky when he's hungry, so maybe that was a factor. He needs to GROW THE HELL UP!! That behavior's UNACCEPTABLE & someone's gotta check him! Ya know, personally, I've learned I have to dig into what people say. But, I see that even more clearly here. He said he had panic attacks & he gets cranky. She shoulda asked for details, to know what was coming. I already know to leave situations when someone's acting up, hopefully, she learned. Definitely NOT the time for the "respect" spiel, but also can't approve his disrespect. Maybe leave him alone, COMPLETELY, when he's in a state cuz what she tried was a #MAJORFAIL. She's being wayyyyyyy too patient & kind & he better STOP abusing it! Hopefully, she can define respectful behavior & they can decide on appropriate behavior during those times cuz he don't know how to act. I applaud her for not feeding into his tantrum, that woulda made it worse & she didn't need to get crazy like him, if that's even in her character. Although she did trigger it with her wording, she didn't know he'd take it so bad. But packing his stuff? That's way too nice! He's not evolved enough to SAY what he feels, thinks, needs, & wants, in those moments. Just acts out when he gets stuck. Like that's a solution. I think you have to ask them those questions, to de-escalate, until they figure out how to share them.

BAHAHAHA! He REFUSES to know! Ignorance is a CHOICE! It's stupid to learn things the hard way, unnecessarily, but eh. There's something completely foreign, never exposed to & something they're exposed to and don't care to research. Hopefully they learn.

It gives us insight into what made them who they are today. What's happened in their life. What brought them to the experiment. What they want out of it & why, what contributed to it. I think we will see how those things affect her & link her behavior to it. We need to know their issues. They definitely won't say, "I'm acting this way cuz I'm grieving!"

Although the couples mingling is a double-edged sword, I support it. At least the same genders meeting up. They are supposed to be an extra support, even if they're not great at it. It must be a very lonely thing to go through and NO ONE they know can relate. It probably helps more than it hurts, it's better than the alternative. The faults/areas of insecurity in their marriage will help them realize it's in trouble/over much sooner. That's a definite plus! 😂

That's the point/test though. I'd think they want people with loose lips/vulnerability. They wouldn't get the goods from reserved people. It'd be super boring! It's brave, & kinda stupid, to reveal such personal information, but our judgement/discomfort is our problem. It shouldn't be hers, it's her truth, she owes us nothing. Most seem to forget the cameras anyway. 😂

But we DON'T want the drama THIS EARLY!! We wanna enjoy the early phase (honeymoon, if you will 😉) where it seems PERFECT! Til sht gets real when they return home & begin their lives in the "real world." 😂 Maybe they emphasized being upfront & honest & those idiots went LEFT with it. 😅 But this drama is UNCOMFORTABLE, I don't like seeing it. It's useful, but uncomfortable!

Derek's doing all the right things & I appreciate the sentiment, but there are no emotions/connection behind it. It's not genuine, completely, at least. He's setting standards he might not uphold & that could come back to bite him. Feels like an element of 'fake it til you make it' or maybe it's 'build it & it will come.' Is he playing "perfect husband" or what? How spectacular will his fall from grace be? I'm thinking of Jamie.

Hokay. Yes. They SHOULD all be having fun, enjoying their honeymoons, but look at WHY some aren't! Their stupid husbands said idiotic stuff that was MAJOR & they're trying to resolve it, but their moronic husbands are too inarticulate. If Michael woulda been like, "I hope we have a great honeymoon, I can't wait to get to know you better!" & Zach woulda been able to keep up his damn act & explained avoiding sex by saying, "I've rushed that in the past & I want us to have a deeper connection before taking that step," they'd be FINE, but NO!! THOUGHTLESS SELFISHNESS!! HOW TF did they think saying that stuff would play out?? Methinks they didn't think AT ALL!! 😂

SCORE for the #BRIDETRIBE helping Mindy back peddle/reject Zach more cuz he rejected her. Tehe. Too bad she's not that convincing. Isn't that how it works tho? The unattracted person acts unattractive to repel the attracted person? #CLASSICK! Shame she immediately laid her cards on the table with her stranger HUSBAND, the man she should've been able to TRUST. 😞 She's getting more insecure & hopeless about her marriage, seeing happy couples. Ya know, maybe it's a helpful double-edged sword. It made her realize, very quickly, that he was friend zoning her & forced the issue so soon, so it got to the truth sooner. She's putting on a show to the other couples, but the wives know the truth. 😂 Ok. Now it sounds exhausting. 😥 Funny, how we get to see someone more honest about their sucky marriage, Meka, & someone acting, Mindy, at the same time. Which is better? 😅 The other husbands will learn the truth from their wives, eventually.

It's something we needed to see. We noticed the distance & their bad energy when they joined the other couples after checking into the hotel. If that was omitted, we'd be like, "WTF? Is their problem?! WHAT HAPPENED??" It seems she tried getting clarity about what he said & thought she did, which conflicted with what he told everyone else. It was appropriate to confront him on camera. If she wanted to play the victim, she woulda just told the cameras & been done with the whole marriage. HE removed his ring, not her. AND she didn't sell him out to Pastor Cal by telling him Michael said he'd quit the marriage. THAT'S pretty MAJOR as well & AGAINST THE RULES! 😂

Hokay. If someone tells you, "if we don't have sex by Day 7, I'm done," HOW IN THE HELL could you proceed with that person?? You'd be checking the countdown clock, CONSTANTLY. HOW could you think about ANYTHING else with that hanging over you? HOW could you feel comfortable connecting in ANY way? Them telling you that is about THEM, but what about YOU & what YOU want? THAT matters! You're involved. So, you're liking this person & connecting & developing those feelings in your own time to be told, "Btw, you have this long to get there." WTF?!! Like, ok. THANKS for the info & saving me time I would've wasted trying to get there cuz you just told me I can't take my time getting there. PEACE OUT! 😂 It's just so damn bizarre!! WHO SAYS THAT?? Especially so damn EARLY! That's some dumbass sabotage right there! NOT SUPPOSED TO QUIT THE MARRIAGE!! I woulda asked how that was supposed to help me feel comfortable getting there. Then explained what it actually did, instead of the on camera/off camera, me vs family/friends thing, bad angle. Still explain the conflicting message & it's impact. Then ask his understanding of how it affected me & our interaction. Then ask him to revise it or his thoughts on how to proceed cuz we're not in a good place. If he stuck by his statement, it'd be a wrap. If he revised it, I'd still have doubts & still quit! 😂

That new doc is FUGLY!! RIPE for SACRIFICE! Let's see if he makes it out of the season ALIVE! 😂

OBVIOUSLY, the teen was a vape case & the kid swallowed the ring. WHY are they acting so dumb about the missing ring? WHERE is it? Take apart this p-trap. Ohh no! The kid's sick now, it must be a cold.... Totally NOT related to the missing ring.. Yeahhhh. RIGHTTTT. 😒😒
