    And stupid. Not intellectually but stupid to try and give advice and reason with a narcissist like Chris.  Why are they giving any credence to Chris at all?  He comes in, says his ex-fiancée is pregnant and then just sits there, waiting to be the center of attention as they talk all about Chris.  When he says he wants to divorce Paige and they say that he should stay with his wife, this is not what he wants to hear and he's done and ready to leave.  Surely by now  these men know what a narcissist he is. The pastor says Chris's child will know him and he doesn't need to stay with his ex-fiancée to raise his child.  Normally I would think it best for the child to be in a 2 parent home but I would hate to foist Chris on an innocent child full time. No matter--he'll probably raise the child in his own image whether he's in the home or not---which is just what the world needs--another Chris.

    Regarding Chris's pastor...

    Spoiler

    I read weeks ago that that's an actor, not his real pastor.  His real pastor couldn't get a covid test or come from Chicago or something like that.  So that puts that whole conversation in a different light.  Here's some dude you don't know laying into you, calling you selfish, etc.  I hate Chris, but that explains his "I'm done with this conversation."  That actor doesn't know shit about him.  (Although he nailed it, since Chris's narcissism can be spotted a mile away.)

    Its hard not to feel sorry for Paige kind of like you feel sorry for a drug addict or an alcoholic. You feel compassion but you also know its there volitional choice to be such a way. This is way beyond being a good wife, taking the commits seriously. Love can be unconditional but relationships, especially romances are conditional. Chris is a predator but he can only use willing victims. I wonder if she has been this vulnerable to other guys or is she just blinded by his handsome looks? Her kind of love and devotion should be showered on a worth man. Not this scum bucket. What irked me most was his smirking while Pastor Cal was dressing him down. Not only the smirk but still playing the victim card. He still thinks folks should be sympathetic towards him! Woe is me I got married and find out my ex fiance is pregnant because I screwed her while I was in the process of being married at first sight. I wanted to reach through the screen and slap his smirking face soooo bad. Chris find a new victim.

     

    Say what now? 🤔 😄 I think he looks like a constipated caveman with allergies. 

    But I agree with the rest, particularly about his smirk.  Did you catch his smirky-jerky smile when Paige said she felt she got the short end of the stick?  He was obviously thinking, "Nuh-uh, I'm the good-looking one" -- which is in his head, imo, but he was actually feeling sorry for himself!  Narcissists gonna narce.

    I agree Vincent is a poor communicator, but from the second he spilled the bubbly, she sounded to me like her teasing got a bit mean and Vinc couldn't explain it.. She is bossy as hell.

    YES.  Yes, yes, yes.  I'm surprised by all the comments siding with Brianna. 

    First of all, get your hands off other adults' stuff.  You rearranging his stuff in his suitcase because of your OCD is NOT okay.  Get yourself some anti-anxiety medication because that right there was just crossing alllll kinds of boundaries.

    Second, I agree with Geej above that she had an edge in her voice from the moment it spilled (see: anxiety).  She critiqued his clean-up method, implying any functioning adult would use spray (omg, honey, STOP).  He was *gracious* enough to let that slide, and then SHE had the audacity to come at him with the snide "joke"?  

    Here's my hypothesis. I don't doubt that she didn't intend to disrespect him and doesn't view him as incompetent. However, her anxiety takes over and, in her nervous haze, she blurts things out without thinking.  I know I do that when I'm nervous.  I barely know what I'm saying sometimes, if I have a spotlight on me. I think that's what happened here -- it was a throwaway line, a flustered attempt at a joke. 

    Vincent is an AWFUL communicator (he's no Jakey! 😁), but I hope she will reflect on why her knee-jerk subconscious response is to cut others down.

    Am I the only one yelling at my television that Jacob is lucky to have any person matched with him? Or that he is a loser who only feels good about himself if he insults and manipulates his partner by putting them down or attaching ridiculous labels to his misperception of their behaviour. He hasn't got the first clue of how to function in a give-and-take relationship. What on earth did Hailey do to be matched with such a creep? What a goof.

    Wow, no, I don't get that at all.  I think he's possibly the most mature, best male communicator this show has ever had.

    Chris "wouldn't allow filming"? They "turned off their microphones"? I hope the show deducted some of their paychecks!

    Yeah, that was interesting because in the past when people haven't wanted to be filmed, they included that footage for the drama factor.  Brandon for example.  Why does Chris get to call the shots?

    I can see why you feel that way.  I  got suspicious for a seemingly unrelated reason - When I heard that Erik was divorced I felt like in this season they were consciously trying to branch out in terms of picking people with previous situations that could potentially cause an issue in a new marriage.  That and picking people with significant age differences.  It's like every season they look for a new "curve ball" to throw at these people.  Then when this all came out with Chris I was even more suspicious because it looked to me like they picked him precisely because he still had "past baggage" (or present baggage) that would interfere with this marriage.  I'm not sure I want to go as far as you do with the conspiracy to think that Paige might be in on it, but I do understand why you feel that way.

     

    I wonder if it's just that there were fewer applicants to choose from what with the pandemic. 

    I keep reminding myself that none of these people are smart, since they thought the middle of a pandemic was a good time to get married, get on a plane, vacation, and then move into communal housing, all with a million production people around!

    4. Erik - who died and made you the de facto leader of this troubled group? Spouting off like you are some grand statesman - shut up and sit down, you are wasted, stoned or something. No-one asked you. Stop with the phony concern and  saying you support Chris when you don't actually give a shit and are judgemental as all get out.

     

    I cringed so hard when Erik put his hand on Chris's shoulder.  (And this wasn't the first time, was it?)  Chris was absolutely right to say don't touch me.  It's so patronizing, and unfortunately there's a racial/political aspect that makes it extra-inappropriate on Erik's part.

    The words she [Paige] chooses feel a little off too ... like someone who has read too many romance novels maybe? When she was talking to his parents (paraphrasing a bit here): "I would never give myself to a man ..." seemed a bit odd. I have never heard anyone talk that way, it really struck me, not necessarily negatively, but as though perhaps I reside on a nearby planet to her. 

    I think both her language and the breathy voice thing come from her faith.  When I've watched the Duggars, polygamists, and other religious fundamentalists, they tend to use phrases like that.  And women are encouraged to "keep sweet," vocally.

    It is surprising how much Erik an his supposedly family love Virginia, when to me she seem like your basic low hanging fruit party girl. 

    There are many awesome single women in their thirties that would love to met a guy like Erik.

    Oh well, best of luck to both of them.

     

    He's a "traditional, conservative" guy.  He's not looking for depth.  He probably wouldn't even recognize it.

  10. Perhaps I'm at a table for one, but I still think it's possible Christina did get a text saying Henry's closeted, and I think it's possible he is indeed closeted.  Even Henry said he believed the text was real at first because why else would she think she could hold it over him.  Clearly someone in production was fucking around by sending the cast anonymous texts this season, so I dont think it's out of the realm of possibility.

  11. No one has mentioned yet that now we see that Brett said "no thanks" in response to Pastor Cal during their video chat (in response to "is there any chance you would continue with her"), NOT during the couch chat with Olivia!!!!  Those dirty rat bastard editors.  That is so not cool.

    An animal conversation vs a political conversation nowadays is not even the same.  Plus, the animal topic was brought up on the show.  Politics was not.

    Obviously, Amelia's politics were brought up by the editors, if no one else.  A person's politics say a lot about their world view and knowledge and experience and ethics, and I find it shocking that Amelia's politics don't match her persona.  I guarantee you her castmates (and other viewers) noticed and cared about that sticker even if you did not.

  13. I can't wait to never see or hear Hannah again.  Lazy, dumb, fake, rude, gossipy, catty, petty, TRULY SO LAZY AND DUMB, and that god-forsaken accent.  Few seem to share my disgust for her, which mystifies me.  I'm thrilled to be rid of her.

    There.  That felt good.

  14. Does anyone know more about how Amelia was cast?  She said she got a call from a random lady asking if she'd be interested.  That makes the match with Bennett less serendipitous. 😔  So does that mean Bennett applied first and someone affiliated with the show said, "oh man I know someone who'd be great for that quirky guy"?  Or what, I wonder.

  15. Amani is obviously an awesome friend, but I wonder if she sees things a little differently upon watching Brett and Olivia as the show has aired.  She probably would never admit it (see: good friend), but she's emotionally intelligent and there's no way she'd think Olivia's behavior was conducive to a warm, loving marriage.

  16. I'll say it again. He wanted his bride to have nice shoes. 

    !!!!!

    Edit:  Truly, the more I think about it, the more sense it makes.  But I seem to be the only one leaning that way.  Huh.

  17. Ok, unpopular voice of dissension here, and I have no idea, just throwing this out there...

    Henry was very concerned that his bride have "nice shoes," which I found absolutely bizarre.  He's not a sneakerhead like Miles or flashy like Woody, which leaves...

    Also, his overbearing, obnoxious family seems to be deep into local conservative politics, so I imagine he didn't grow up in a gay-friendly environment. 

    Could stress from hiding his true sexuality cause tics?

    And those bitchy female friends of his...

    I'm just sayin.
