S10.E06: In Seasickness and in Health

[Ohwell]

Four pairs of newlyweds make the most of their honeymoon with a romantic catamaran trip, while one couple remains on shore to heal their fractured marriage. But despite sunny skies, there are tough seas ahead for two pairs of stranger spouses.

[Elizzikra]

They didn’t learn after last season to supply Dramamine?

[Hangin Out]

Jamie still does not look comfortable interviewing after all this time.  She has that scared uncomfortable look on her face.  Those she interviews looked more relaxed and at ease.

She has this weird thing that she does with her mouth when she speaks and it annoys the hell out of me. 

[Ohwell]

Brandon:  "I'm a very private person."  Yet you're on television.  Yeah.

[Straycat80]

I can’t get over the bathtub five feet away from the bed. I know if I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, half asleep, I would definitely fall into the tub and break something. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Jamie seemed really uncomfortable with it just being guys on the panel. The guys are all supportive but Jamie is biting her tongue playing devil’s advocate. Is Jamie pregnant? I read she was but I don’t see a bump yet. 

[gonecrackers]

I'm really tired of the Michael & Meka Moping Show.

[Leilani]

I hope Mindy finally understands Zach is just not that into her.

[2727]

I've already filed for separation from Meka and Michael.

[Ohwell]

I have to say though, I don't blame Meka and Michael for skipping the boat trip.

[Ohwell]

I gotta give it to Taylor, she really rocks a bikini.  

Unfortunately, Jessica looked like grandma in that hat.

[gonecrackers]

My son would be devastated to see that Lego carnage.

[ShowFan]

Ugh..both plastic straw AND plastic spoon in those styrofoam cups..I’m cringing here. 

In other news, I can see the cameramen in Michael’s sunglasses.

So far that's the most exciting thing that's happened in this episode. 

[gonecrackers]

Seems like Taylor is promoting her SM.

[OnTime]

This is the longest honeymoon ever.  Can't they doing something fun as a couple??

[Straycat80]

This has to be the most boring episode I’ve ever seen on this show. Zzzzz!

[Ohwell]

The social media discussion between Taylor and Brandon is interesting.  At least they're talking like two adults, unlike Meka and Michael.

[Adeejay]

Zach:  Did you shower this morning?

Mindy:  Yes

Zach:  Hmm. I literally didn't hear you.

I wonder why he is so overly concern with her bathing habit.

"I am a private person", said a guy who chose to go on a reality show to marry a stranger. 

[LennieBriscoe]

My Samsung TV Guide said this was an episode from 2016, with Tom and Lillian! Fake news!

A-HA! It's because the episode's title is listed as "In Sickness and in Health." Season 4, Episode 9.😝

I really like Taylor, but can she say one sentence without the giggling?  Is it nerves or what?

[LennieBriscoe]

Could Zach sit farther away from Mindy on the bus? 

Mmmmm....pineapple.......

I think Brandon finds Taylor to be rather vapid.  He's not wrong.

Me too.  The girls on the couch are more at ease than Jamie all the time.  She is just not a good fit.  Just because she was on at one time as a bride?  Not a good reason.

[gonecrackers]

Zach's diarrhea mouth is running again.

[Straycat80]

Zach is not attracted to  Mindy and not wearing his wedding ring. He might as well go bunk with Michael and Mindy should eat that delicious looking lobster tail. 

[Ohwell]

It just occurred to me that Jessica looks more like Austin's older sister.

[Adeejay]

Taylor reminds me of Beyoncé.  I believe NC Keith would be a good match.  She seems sweet and he gives off a mellow vibe.  Not to mention, they would make a cute couple.

Mindy, sweetie, Zach isn't wearing his ring because he doesn't feel like a married man. And, if he misses you when you are not together, then that means he is attracted to you.  I guess that makes sense. 

[LennieBriscoe]

We ARE watching the episode with the boat, right?

The guys have Zach's number on his non-attraction to Mindy. Geez, he can't even bring himself to tread water near her!

Boy, Meka sure has a lot of instructions and restrictions for the marriage.  Is she married or in the Army?  You adjust as you go along.

Did Mindy ever hear the saying “ he’s just not into you”?  Why all the questions all the time?  Annoying.

[ShowFan]

I totally feel for Katie wanting her few minutes alone in the shower and Derek jumping in. I feel like every time she starts talking about how much he is awesome, there is a BUT that they cut out of her speech

Austin is beyond adorable! He looks at Jessica like a puppy and is so sweet and handsome. I love both him and Derek

I am growing suspicious of Taylor. She is gorgeous, behaves really well and looks perfect from every angle. I don’t get why she is single and the IG following is not a coincidence. Clearly Brandon comes across as the jerk,  it I wonder what’s her deal

Zach is repulsive. I get that he isn’t attracted to Mindy but stop telling her that over and over. The whole dynamic is very annoying. 
 

 

[LennieBriscoe]

No to a canine in the newlywed bed. Sorry, Katie and Derek. 

[gonecrackers]

Zach can never just answer a fucking question.

Ha! I had the same issue. That’s funny.

I got home at 9 and have fast-forwarded most of this because it’s really boring, but I did crack up when Mindy called Zach a “fucking dickhead.”

A lot? She barely touched on paragraph 1 of my 10,000+ pages, front and back, book of cohabitation requirements. I was just thinking that if I started listing my expectation we’d be standing on that balcony for days on ..She is easy going!

Mindy acts like just being HER and being MARRIED should suffice as sex-magnets. "What  more can I do? What does he want?"

To paraphrase Don Corleone: "You can act like a WOMAN!" Slap!

Absolutely YES to a canine in any bed! NO to any children in a 5 mile radius!

Hypothetically speaking, if you are with the right person, just being yourself should suffice...

[Straycat80]

If Brandon didn’t wan’t to be filmed why did he go on a reality show?

I’m with Pastor Cal: the cameras are not new. Brandon is being a complete asshole and a giant baby. If he’s that much of a private person, he should have stayed his ass off TV.

Not to be crude, but wouldn't a dog in the bed put a cramp in one's style, as it were?

Yeah, not a pet owner here, just an admiring observer.

Edited February 6, 2020 by LennieBriscoe

[gonecrackers]

Wow Brandon, way to shit on everyone at the end of the honeymoons.

[shouldbedancing]

Brandon is a jerk face. He's acting like a two year old. Don't sign up for a freaking TV show if you don't like cameras in your face! No one made you do this!

Not for a pet parent (it’s not even called “owner” since who owns whom with pets is a fine line)

[Cammi]

Ima just say it. Katie ain’t cute. Derrick is much more attractive. Katie looks like a chinless baby seal. I’m VERY surprised Derrick is attracted to her. If I was just looking at the cast with no frame of reference, I’d peg him to be in Zack’s shoes. Mindy is more attractive than Katie imo. Surprised Zack has attraction issues, I would’ve assumed it’d be Katie and Derrick. Katie needs to thank her stars Derrick isn’t pulling a Zack. She’s punching above her weight with him. 

God some of these kids are buzzkills. Does everyone have mental issues? What’s Brandon’s deal? Spoiled man baby? Did he do this on a dare? 

Where are the therapists? Didn’t they used to be more active in previous seasons? 

[LennieBriscoe]

Sure, Zach. You "just forget to put on jewelry."

And that’s offensive to baby seals who are cute. She was filmed at a terribly bad angle and I have to agree with you (except for the baby seal part). We were just talking that she looked pretty bad during that dinner and until then I thought she was cute. I’ll give her more of a chance to render final judgement....we all have a bad angle

Yet skillfully remembered to put on his man-bracelet!

[Liberty]

So Meka says 'I don't have any pets, so that won't be a problem'.

Her emotions are buried quite deep, but she did not seem to be kidding as she recited her rules for cohabitation.  (I thought fondly of Iris)😧

Maury Povich is about to announce "Michael -- you are her new pet."

Of COURSE "if you are ....."  But  Mindy is assuming that Zach IS that "right person," so ipso facto her looks (she brought up this element) should be enough. Clearly, they are not, but she evinces supreme frustration at that, instead of recognizing Zach's God-given right not to find her attractive.
