  1. Vanessa, really, you are running home because Tres didn't go to the vet with you - meanwhile the dog is running thru the house. She's so insecure.
  2. Wow. Sam and Neil appear to be having a great time. Hugs. Wow Meanwhile Vanessa is wearing green. Jealous much? Tres's feeling smothered. That first year of marriage is hard even when you know each other well. She's got to let him breathe. Ashley, Ashley, Ashley.... has she never hosted a party? The host/hostess don't get to talk to people much, they spend their time doing the food, drinks, etc. Has she never attended a party where she didn't know too many people? She is whiny, whiny, whiny
  3. The couples know. I'm sure there are hours of the day that it is turned off. Often you will see a couple drape a towel over it if they don't want to be filmed.
  4. My issue with Ashley is that she's not trying. She's not the only person involved, her not trying hurts David. A man who of all of the six brides/grooms is the one that is most thrilled to be married. He's giving it his all.... I know Ashley's friend said David spends time on his phone off -camera.... don't we all? Ashley was glued to hers on their honeymoon ON camera. She's got a good guy there, he's nice, got good friends, a good job..... comes home at night rather than going out. cooks. I don't know what expectations she has for a spouse, but realistically speaking, David's a good catch. I think she goes for the bad guys, and has always skipped over the others. She's not married to an actor playing a role, she's married to a real person. Possibly the only one of the six that is really wearing his heart on his sleeve and will suffer when this is all over.
  5. Anyone else annoyed with the 'Beth, I hear you calling' car commercial? Were Dad and the boys going out to get milk and got sidetracked for hours? If so, seems to me that Beth wouldn't be brushing her teeth and be in a good mood when she finally hears from him.... she'd be wondering where her family was? If not, then Beth has had all day to go get her own milk. I don't need my car to text anyone, my phone is synced to it and I can hands-free dial.
  6. I have no problem with Colby admitting to voting Toy out for selfish reasons... there's a $250,000 prize on the line. Keeping Toy is dangerous to the team (and therefore Colby) because she consistently had low percentage weight loss, meaning they might be in the elimination room more often. Granted, the second week on the episode, they were in the room again, but Colby couldn't predict that. Maybe he water-boarded the first episode, or maybe he ate a little more.. However, the second episode he only lost 7. If you had immunity, maybe you'd eat an extra piece of chicken, etc. The truth is some weeks they do well, some weeks they don't. In past seasons, they have shown multiple refrigerators in the kitchen, some stocked with healthy, some not so healthy foods. The contestants pick their own food out of the refrigerators. I liked Colby's approach to the auction... I'm gonna drive up the cost so everyone else spends their money... and I can sneak in and get the big prize. Although 5 days at Atlantis for your family would be a great prize too. Jen had NO right to counsel (badger) Toy on using/not using the growing pound advantage.. Toy got eliminated on that turn of the dime. Jen doesn't get eliminated. Who would have been under the yellow line instead of Toy had she used it? Toy looked so much younger in her at home reveal than she did at the ranch. I think Colby voted for Vicky for the same reason he voted for Toy, plus he might have still thought Vicki wanted to go instead of Erin. It's a game, so I really don't get upset at who goes home, although I often like one contestant more than another. Truthfully, Toy and Vicki both did much better at home than they had been doing at the ranch. Bob is trying to wear too many hats. He's supposed to host, not also be trainer, coach, and counselor. Allison did a much better job of doing just host duties. Of course, she wasn't at the ranch every day because she had other duties.
  7. Rulon had hidden a cell phone somewhere on the ranch property and was caught using it. He was allowed to quietly leave for 'personal reasons'. He wasn't Mormon as far as I know.... and I've never heard any of the cast discuss their religion.
  8. Inks' childhood trauma is that a 'girlfriend' he had when he was 12 kissed someone else.... and that is why he is the way he is with Sarah? And no one calls him on his crap? Meanwhile, Sundae, Benzito, have actual traumas. Catherine can't ignore Inks' rude behavior, she calls him on it... and then she expects Sean to become part of the argument. Is Sean her Dad? She's an adult, get up and leave the room if she's tired of arguing.
  9. They have spent way too much time discussing Donald Trump not coming to the debate. It's 30 minutes tops to discuss the situation... then move on. They didn't cover Rand Paul to that extent when he refused to come to the undercard debate. When there's nothing new to report, we don't need it discussed all day long.
  10. I don't like Sam's attitude, she was very immature during the intimacy exercise, and ruined it. However, Neil needed to politely tell Sam that she ruined it, and why he felt that way, rather than pretend to agree with her that it was 'silly'. I realize David got a bit snippy with Ashley - finally a natural argument. That's how married life is, you have misunderstandings, you raise your voice or get curt with each other. She couldn't come up with 3 little nice things to say to David, but she said all sorts of nice things in the Talking Head interview. Seemed pretty natural when she said them, too. That was ridiculus. I think maybe David and Neil should switch spouses. Sam would probably enjoy David's fun loving nature, and he might be able to 'put her in her place'. Neil is dark which Ashley likes, low-key which she might like. I don't know if she would like Neils sort of computer generated face though.
  11. I remember watching the original episode. I believed then that Pam Hupp should have been the logical suspect. I was amazed that the detective was 'prepping' her as a witness. That goes so beyond his job duties. The more he prepped her by pointing out what the defense was going to say, the more suspect she became. As near as I can tell, the police never seriously looked at her. I also could not figure out why the victim wanted friends to be the beneficiaries, and then supposedly be unofficial trustees on behalf of the daughters. Why didn't she talk to an attorney? All she needed to do was set up a trust with the daughters as the beneficiaries of the trust. I think Pam Hupp took advantage of a women with cancer, lied to her about being willing to take the money on behalf of her daughters, and then kept the money. Heck, even the fake letter said Pam was to hold the money for the daughters, then Pam turned around and denied it. Why would law enforcement think that 4 normally law abiding people lied on a friends' behalf in a murder case? I don't care how good of a friend you are. I'm not lying for you if I think you killed your cancer stricken wife. I'm darn sure 4 people aren't going to lie for you. I also think we all have stopped at more than 1 gas station or convenience store to get things. Maybe we like the price of the drinks here, the dog food there, the gas somewhere else. The guy had time to burn off while waiting to go to his friends.
  12. The discussion about David texting another woman is from the previews that were shown at the end of the wedding episode. We don't know why they chose to show previews that far in advance. However, the episode synopsis for next week mentions it
  13. I liked it, yes, some clichés, some not-quite-real situations. But, I still liked it. Not understanding exactly who the woman that was on insulin was in relation to everyone else, but I gather she is a relative of one of the two leads. I want to know if Will doesn't know that his wife will leak everything, or if he 'knows' but doesn't 'know'. Yes, we are dropped into this in the middle, just as we were with Falling Skies. That's ok. Let's hope they are a little smarter than the Falling Skies writers.
  14. None of these six people are perfect - no one is. If they were really really good at relationships and reading signals, they wouldn't be here. In order to really want to have someone else pick your mate (unless it's a cultural norm, maybe), you are admitting that you suck at picking Mr/Ms Right, and holding up your half of the relationship. The supposed premise to this show is that the 'experts' match you up with people that should be your Mr/Ms Right and should fit with your relationship skills. But, they seem to suck at that - or aren't really giving these couples needed support. There should be daily checklists, exercises, and journals. There should be daily required conversation topics for the couples. That's not really happening. It's also obvious the experts aren't watching footage during this process. Sam should have failed the psych tests. That much was obvious with her behavior in the minutes prior to the wedding. Their six weeks should have been terminated as it's damaging, or Sam should have been told point blank by the experts on camera her behavior is inappropriate. Vanessa and Tres seem to be trying. Referring back to my first paragraph, they both have issues. Heck, name me a married couple that doesn't. David and Ashley. I'm sorry, she's NOT trying. She's a 30 year old professional student who should be bright enough to pick up a book with tips on doing some of the items I mention in the first paragraph, even if the show isn't giving them to her. Heck, even an etiquette book would help her out. Even a book on small talk. David is treating this as a REAL marriage. He is expecting at least a kiss a day, goodbye, hello, goodnight. You don't get to the finish line until you at least start the race. She's not even turning on the key, and refuses to do so until at least 2 months into a six week marriage? I don't hear him asking for sex. Picking her up and rolling onto the bed is a typical 30 year old guy thing with his girlfriend. He didn't do it to be controlling, he did it to be funny. I refer again to paragraph number one.
  15. I'm also going to speculate that Sugar Bear reads below his 'grade level'. I think that is why he was so upset during the bed frame exercise. He could have built it but he couldn't read the instructions well enough to tell her how to build it. If I remember correctly (from the few times I flipped thru channels), these two were not intimate because Mama June didn't want to be, any more than she wanted to go thru the commitment ceremony. I cannot figure out why men are attracted to Mama June in the first place.
  16. I'm sorry, Ashley is not just physically not interested, she just can't stand being in the same room as David. She is just counting the days until 6 weeks is over. Based on the previews from the wedding episode, David moves on before the six weeks is over. Even though I don't agree with cheating, I can't get all that upset if that is what he does.
  17. Did not see that coming ... and that is all I am going to say on that for the next hour for those who don't want spoilers
  18. Sam is a twenty-six year old veteran with $60,000 sitting in his bank account, yet he shares a checking account with his father and attends community college where he requires a tutor. Julie is five or six years out of high school, is attending community college when most of her classmates have probably graduated university a couple of years ago, aspires to a somewhat unrealistic career of fashion, literally died wearing a tiara, has a mother who still waits up for her at the age of twenty-three, and her mother hopes she'll live at home forever Sam's Dad may have had a similar on-line access that I have to my sons. I can get to his account on-line to put money in because he has granted me access. I don't have my name on his account. This made it easy to put money in when he needed it, as I could just transfer from mine to his. He may have attended community college because he is trying to save money, or was just an average high school student when it came to grades. Tutors are a great way if there are courses you have issues with. My son used them especially for calculus or writing. I wondered the same thing you did about Julie. They never addressed why she was still at a community college. About the living at home and the Mom waiting up thing... that may be part of their culture.
  19. I just absolutely love Colby.. in a non-stalkerish way, of course. Richards idea of words was a great one.
  20. Thanks, Henry's Mom. I had heard of those expanding tests, but didn't realize this would be one. I still think she could have called as soon as she got done. She has said it takes longer to commute from this new house, and we all know people her age check their phone every 5 minutes. A call or text to David (or even a producer) as soon as she got his message (before she started driving) would have been polite. I think she deliberately did neither, hoping the film crew would leave (they won't). Since I missed the matching episode, I can't figure out why Ashley would have signed up for this. I know I wouldn't have, and I (although an introvert), am not near as much of a prude as Ashley is. How could she not have known there would be embarrassing questions, and situations. Did she think she was participating in a Jane Goodall documentary?
  21. Actually, David said "Ashley told me she would be home around 7". When he called to inquire about her running late, he left a message stating that she was late. I also bet that she knew when the film crew would be there, and they were obviously there about the time Ashley was expected home. Finals do not 'run late'. They occur from x time to y time, so that you don't end up with two scheduled at the same time.
  22. I loved Tres and Vanessa discussing bathroom logistics. When my husband and I were first married, we had 1 bathroom. We've had two for years, but one is more for the use of offspring and guests. So, yes, we share a bathroom. Yes, we've both been in it at the same time doing different things. However, we didn't get married 5 minutes after meeting each other. It's going to take time for them to grow comfortable doing stuff (including daily dressing) in front of each other. However, the days of husbands and wives not acknowledging the bodily functions of the other one is long past. I really get the feeling that only Tres and Vanessa actually live in the same house. I think the other two couples only show up on filming days -which seem to be once or twice weekly. They just seem so stilted still. Even college roommates gel together better after 2 weeks.
  23. The women who go on this show to lose weight to have a baby are losing the weight SO that they CAN have a baby. Hope's doctor told her she doubled her chances of getting pregnant by losing over 10% of her body weight. Hope can lose another 10% and increase her chance even more. I think that she would be THRILLED if she were pregnant by the finale. That could happen since even the finalists are home for a few months before the finale. Becoming pregnant doesn't mean you will gain all your weight back, although sometimes it can be hard to lose the extra weight afterwards.
  24. Stephen was feeling guilty about losing the 2 pound advantage for no reason. He gained on the Black team from where they were when his turn started. He just couldn't make up the difference. I wonder how many days were actually in either of the two 'weeks' portrayed this time? Hope may have that PCOS? syndrome, which could be making weight loss difficult.
  25. Josie's 6 right? About time to lose some teeth
