Prison closet conception!

The bald guy (brother or BIL?) has a healthy dose of skepticism. I like him.

Twice divorced? Isn’t she like 28?

Ninety dollars to fill the tank. Jesus.

She looks CRAZY. Like bad. The lashes look bad.

My job is INSANE right now. I’m exhausted. Very good workout week though. Gym buff, not prison buff.

Serious question: can men get condoms in prison?

But what money? Drug money? Don’t ask the body count question! Never ask questions you don’t want the answer to.

Tennie is a SAHM with a husband in prison? How does she support herself and her kids? NGL, I think them working out together is cute. Them having this argument while doing lunges is cracking me up.

I had no idea this show was back!

And isn’t Tina teaching part-time? She doesn’t have her days free, does she?

If she said this (I may have missed it as I only watched half-ish if the reunion), that’s shallow, petty, immature and kind of pathetic, honestly. If she were as strong and independent as she claims to be, she’d wash her hands of him and let karma work it out (or not, whatever). Living well is the best revenge. “It didn’t work out between us. Good luck,” and then get on with your life. He’s no longer her problem, and inserting herself into any new relationship of his is guaranteed and totally unnecessary drama. I’d have blocked her everywhere long ago if I were Brennan. These are adults in their 20s and 30s and there was so much high school-esque behavior on that stage. The women literally went “La la la I don’t believe you!” when anything was said that they didn’t like.

He also could have found her attractive at first and then lost attraction as he got to know her. I think because she’s had casual sex but no relationships, she’s confusing sexual attraction with romantic attraction. They’re not the same (and Brennan wasn’t even attracted to her in any way for more than a day). I do not ask or answer the body count question, so two vs. 50 wouldn’t come up. I’m grown, I date grown men, I assume we’ve had sex with other people before. However, if I were dating a man who’d only had one-night stands, I’d think “fuckboi,” and it would not inspire confidence that he’d be a good partner. It’s a very different way of relating to someone - there’s no compromise required of a one-night stand. (Emily’s “friends” said she struggles with compromise.) You barely have to TALK to a one-night stand.

I think I remember her saying to him early on that she didn’t budget - like, I think we saw that honeymoon conversation. But I agree: if he wants someone budget-conscious, that has nothing to do with how much she makes. Money is a fundamental compatibility issue. I couldn’t date and REALLY could not marry/join finances with a spender who didn’t budget either. This is really the beginning and the end of the story for all the couples, to varying degrees.

There was a moment when Kevin said “sometimes things just don’t work out,” and I kept thinking how different the season would have been if they’d just accepted that. I know it hurts to be rejected, but like… all this because someone just wasn’t that into you?
