You know, Demetria, love her or hate her is the center of this year's storyline because of her wedding. Bravo always loves a good wedding and I bet you, if there is a season 3, Demetria's spot is secure. I wonder if producers sort of told Melyssa and Geneva that there is only room for one of you in "Demetria's best friend" role and that is why the we are having all this stupidity? Melyssa, for all her beauty and video vixen past, actually (before the fight) does not add much to the plot line. Her introduction of Arzo has been a complete dud and her real estate career does not seem to be going anywhere. Geneva's is one of many women in New York that live the Sex and the City lifestyle on mommy's dime. I also bet you both women are heavily dependent on that Bravo paycheck. Melyssa is the one in worse financial straits as she does not come from financial stability the way Geneva does and her video girl days are behind her. This might be why she is acting a damn fool in the last couple of episodes.

If it is true about Ryan R not feeding the cat, then he is dead to me and I can't even say that I am a cat person. I tend to believe it, because Jacklyn has been very kind to him overall, when she could have dragged his reputation through the streets, if the spoilers are to be believed. I also have a hard time believing such a jerk is "sacrificing his life" to take care of his orphaned niece and his elderly mother. More likely, he is a huge freeloader who does squat. I hate the show for painting this loser as a nice guy. Also, did you guys see the experts once again gas lighting a woman to stay in a bad relationship? Jacklyn understands that Ryan does not care about her and will say whatever is needed to make himself look good on camera. Yet, idiot experts where practically forcing her to give him a second chance. Edited to add: Did you guys notice how loving and accepting Jaclyn was with the niece and mother? I truly think Ryan missed out on the one nice woman who would put up with his dead beat ass and take care of his family.

Why the heck is it the default mode for Ryan and his friends to call women sluts or ugly when they disagree? This makes the guys look very misogynistic and immature, which really does not help their case.

My biggest concern is that Taylor does not seem the least bit interested in her and only seems to be sticking around for the fleeting fame and fortune. I feel no desire in him to be with her the rest of his life. In fact, if it was not for the fleeting fame and fortune I do not think he would be with her at all. Maci is making the same mistakes over and over again. You can not force a guy into fulfilling you wish of a perfect family, if that guy does not want the same thing. She is so desperate to be married because I think she honestly looks at it as some sort of accomplishment. Anyone can plan a wedding, but it takes hard work to have a successful marriage and a fiance who is reluctant in the first place, does not bode well for long term success.

I agree with with almost everything you said, seasick. I think the show should let all notions of science and respectability go out the door and embrace itself for what it is...a third rate reality show. They could do this with the spin off. All the couples from this season will reunite, because if is really about the money and fame, not love. All three sets of couples will be assigned to live in a haunted mansion which they can only escape by following carefully crafted clues given to them via skype by all the experts. Basement Ryan's hiding skills will be put into good use. Later there will be a grand finale where we will find out the monster everyone was running from was actually a coked out Ryan D, who will be eventually caught by following a trail of glow in the dark stars set up by Sean. Yes, I know I am going to hell.

I have heard this before and wonder why so few men sign up for this type of services. Is it because men are stereotypically less marriage minded than women? Though of course in the modern day marriage is no longer the only form of validation for women and I am sure many are happy to stay single. If (and it is still a big IF for me) these rumors are true, I wonder if the producers resorted to such horrible procedures after no men signed up for the second season? I guess when guys saw Jaimie crumpled up on the floor crying after seeing her supposedly hideous groom...no man said "Damn, I wish that was me".

Holy crap! I am taking this with a grain of salt, but if any of this is true then the producers basically put all the women in danger by perhaps pairing them with mentally and emotionally unbalanced men. THEY DID NOT EVEN DO STD TESTING! If any of this is proven to be true, I might be done with the show. What will they do next to find eligible men...go to a prison yard and find out who is up for parole?

Can anyone explain to me why the heck Sean was so pissed? When Davina fairly graciously (particularly if you believe the behind the scenes rumors) said she wanted a divorce, he looked like he wanted to smack her. It seemed like it was incomprehensible to him that Davina would not want to stay married to him even though he checked out of the experiment many weeks earlier. Davina only implied he was weak when the experts pressured her to explain her decision. He seems to be someone that lives in his own reality and goes bonkers when someone messes with his delusions. Davina has a lot of issues, but the experts really screwed her big time setting her up with someone with less then honorable intentions. Now we have Sean, the man of God which could only make Davina Satan. This probably makes sense in Sean's mind.

I think the episode will be totally anticlimactic and the really interesting stuff is going to happen during the reunion.

If the spoilers are to be believed (they seem pretty solid) then Davina chose to stay married to Sean while he opted out. Why the hell would she want to be with a guy who chose to treat so horribly? I really hope tonight we see both of them agreeing to mutually divorce. If she says yes, I am going to have serious doubts about her self respect and esteem.

I have not been able to watch the show for the past two weeks because of real life. I watched the last two episodes back to back and was still not prepared for that horrible wedding dress. The person who posted that Demetria dresses in pretty clothes that do horrible things to her body was spot on. That wedding dress with the tulle attached in the back was hitting her in all the wrong places. It was simultaneously making her look thick (not in a good way) and erasing all her curves. Also, Demetria has a skin tone that would look great in most traditional wedding dress colors. The grey (or blue?) of the dress actually looked dingy and cheap next to her skin tone. It was crazy because I thought the dress could not be more wrong for her type of body. I could not understand why everyone else was so convinced that this was the right dress for her. Speaking of cute girls making themselves look bad, Melyssa needs to fire the person who did her eyebrows this season. Just watching Arzo's eyebrow man's improvements made me realize how much her new brows were taking away from her pretty face. I do not understand why the hell Melyssa was so giddy that she supposedly had dirt on Geneva. Who cares if Geneva called Greg a bitch? He was being a bitch asking his fiance to actually dis-invite Geneva from the wedding. Is is that much of a prize to have Demetria as your friend? I feel like Melyssa and Geneva are fighting over her friendship...which is a really weird thing for two supposedly grown ass women, well into their thirties, to do.

What I do not understand is if the guy had made up his mind that women would not be a good investment because they are too worried about family, etc...then why the hell even have the meeting? Did he think Cameron was a guy? Did he expect both of them to answer that they were sterile so running a company would be no problem? It just seemed like a big waste of time.

In a small voice, I did laugh a little when Erlich claimed to be Richard's "girlfriend" and was in the shop for three days because Richard banged him so hard. I really do not usually have the mind of a gross 12 year old, but maybe I was just desperate for some humor after an overall lackluster season that does not make sense.

When Jackie drove her brat to the ivy league school that she is sure to get into and then requested for a thank you...I thought how about thanking Zoey for helping you out with your horrible family? Of course not, instead Zoey gets a lecture about how she has no right to be angry at Gracie, because she is not the mom. Oh Jackie, why is Grace so angry? Maybe, it is because every chance you got you chose drugs over being the mom that she needed. Remember last season when you were going to abandon everyone with a car full of drugs? It is horrible to see how far this show has fallen. At this point they might as well hand wave the whole season and claim a wizard did it.

I think Davina is a pill, but is being to look much worse than she is, because the show can not let on that the they were conned by Sean. The whole premise is these wise and learned experts know better about what you need than you do. If it comes out how easily they were taken in by a fame whore who just wanted to be on t.v. then there is no purpose to the supposed "experiment". Last year they could blame Vaughn and Monet's failure on both of them not knowing what they truly wanted. This year they have to cover their tracks and gaslight Davina.

Davina has to really stop with the social media stuff. However, if you re-watch the episode where everyone met at the alter, it has to be quite painful for her. They had an instant chemistry and it must have felt like she had hit the jackpot. Here she had a nice looking guy with a stable career that seemed absolutely crazy about her. Later, she finds out that it was all a lie. She trusted the experts to weed out liars that were solely on the show to be on t.v. and they failed her. On top of this, her humiliation is broadcast on national t.v. and it makes her look much more socially awkward and uncompromising then she really is. It really has been a nightmare for her.

I think Lee Pace is a talented quirky actor, but I am glad they are not trying to shoehorn him into eighties Don Draper. This really needs to be an ensemble show and the ladies were killing it with their late night computer heist.

I will say in a small voice... I thought Angelique was prettier than Lily (ducks rotten tomatoes). Now getting off my shallow box, I really love this show. I wish this show would get even a quarter of the critical acclaim that is often thrown at a way past it prime series about advertising in the sixties. However, since the academy will never take a supernatural show seriously, it is probably very unlikely that anyone will get nominated for an Emmy. I hope Patti Lupone's guest appearance last episode will not go unnoticed. She was phenomenal. I love the chemistry between Vanessa and all the male leads. I do not feel she is a Mary Sue or damsel in distress. She is powerful in her own right, but you understand why people like Malcolm and Ethan would want to protect her. This is another actress that deserves an Emmy nod.

I found the ending where Christian said that the best thing about marriage is spending time with Maria completely fake and producer driven. Christian clearly hates being with Maria and always will. He was in no way ready for marriage(very few people his age are) and is taking all this anger and resentment out on his wife. However, he could not refuse the marriage because that would mean he would have to get off his parents teat and go out and support himself. Since Christian's only goal in life is to sit on the couch and play video games all day with his brothers...this would not have worked well for him. He seems to have no career and/or education ambitions, whatsoever. The sad thing is this sets Maria up for a very miserable life. I imagine if she left her husband the Gypsy culture would look down on her as a tainted woman. Great job Gypsy parents...you have raised an entitled worthless spoiled brat of a kid, but his wife has not left him after six months, so that means you guys are successful in your culture? Obviously, after such an amazing success the only solution is to force your nicer son into the same kind of arrangement. At least the other couples are older and have good career prospects. Actually, none of the other couples are actually arranged, either. They are just regular couples looking for reality t.v. fame. It looks like Josh wants to kick Christian's ass in the previews. Maybe Josh can channel some of that anger to tell his mother to lay off Megan. I also do not understand what the southern mother in law has against Megan. I mean she supposedly hand picked this girl for her son, so why the hell is she so critical of her? If Megan does not live up to her high monkey faced standards...then that is on her.

That was a very smart analysis of the situation, sleekandchic. The only think I would add is that " Davina's friend" (who to me is actually Dr. C) also continuously gaslights Davina whenever she brings up her perfectly valid concerns. The friend also lays most of the blame at Davina's feet and dismisses most of Sean's shortcomings as "just pay more attention to Davina" and blindly believes all of Sean's blind excuses. I of course have gone of the track with you well thought out scenario, but I hope most people understand what I mean. Edited to add: I replaced "coworker" with Davina's friend. I originally meant coworker as Davina's coworker, since that is who sets up Davina with Sean in sleekandchic's scenario.

It has been stated the experts specifically asked Sean about moving to Manhattan, as they knew it would be a huge cultural and financial drain upon him. He was willing. It seems like he had very few deal breakers as a way to increase his chances of being cast for the show. I agree Davina is no picnic, but Sean might have a history of being fraudulent. I say "might" because it is impossible for me to tell how reliable anonymous posters on internet boards are. I also agree Davina is making herself look petty on social media, but the experience was probably a nightmare and she is doing some very human therapeutic venting. I do think her "friends" need to stay out of it as they are not helping her case.

This is very suspicious as people now a days update their Linkedin page immediately after a big promotion. As for Sean being a supposed player...is he not in a profession where the women far outnumber the men? I imagine he has no problem with casual hook ups with coworkers and since he is one of the few single male nurses, the numbers are in his favor, despite his weird personality. There were also rumors of Sean pretending to be a doctor. I, of course, do not know the reliability of the posters who gave out this information, but I would not have a hard time believing that Sean is a pathological liar.

I think Dr. C said Sean got a big promotion and was in charge of 100 people. Then posters who claim to be coworkers of Sean said that it was a lie and there are not even close to 100 people working in the ER. I do not know what to believe at this point.

I have liked so many of your post that I might have used up all my likes for the month. Once again I am dismayed at how all the girls have ended up with guys who are clearly using them for their d-list fame and fortune. Maci's man basically laid out that if Maci wants a ring, she needs to buy him a big house. Notice the only thing he cared about in the house was the he have a giant man cave. He gave two shits about Maci, Bently, or the new baby's needs. He was also bitching about the ring and how was he going to get his money back if they divorced. I bet you anything that Maci actually paid for the ring he gave her on the show. Farrah's man does not give a damn about her. He likes the perks of her fame and is out the door when they stop coming his way. Her baby voice cooings of love around him showcase what a desperate and pathetic individual she has become. I saw on the reunion Debra lamenting about everyone referring to Farrah as a porn star. Well Debra, once the Teen Mom gravy train as run out that is going to be your daughter's only source of income. I am not judging Farrah's for going to porn, but lets call a spade a spade. Amber's dude is an over the hill con artist, plain and simple. I noticed how vague he was about his job and how he has not gotten paid yet (I doubt he will be hired to work in HR). I do not think most clubs are really wanting old looking forty plus DJs. I am not saying that forty is old, but the guy does not seem to have any security in his life (beyond being supported by his much younger girlfriend). Tyler would have dumped Cate long ago if not for the money. He is disgusted by baby Nova and only talks about her in comparison to Carly (they could be twins!). He is not ready to be a dad and this is a giant publicity stunt to him. He is not upset they gave up Carly...he is upset that Brandon and Theresa are not allowing him to exploit her for his own gain. Cate thinking she finally has the perfect family she has longed for saddens me. I feel sorry for the children in all these situations.

I think Davina and Sean's relationship should be mandatory viewing for teenagers in high school... as a form of birth control. Watching these two trying to be intimate or talk about sex or romance will wipe out all underage pregnancies. The down side is that sales of legos, puzzles, and glow in the dark stars will plummet. I think one sign of a successful pairing is that the two people generally bring out the best in each others personalities. I have not seen this happening for any of the three couples. In fact, they all seem to bring out the worst in each other. I feel like the producers had a handful of pictures of relatively good looking people, threw it at the experts and told them to make up any type of bullshit to match them together. Like many of you, this season has been an epic fail for me. I too can hardly keep myself awake...when last season I was glued to my television. Does anyone think Dr. Pepper looks much nicer this year? I wonder if it is just better styling or if she has had some work done.
