S10.E09: The L Word

[gonecrackers]

Quote

After marrying a stranger, five couples grow toward love with their stranger spouse by planning romantic surprises; for one couple, an unexpected surprise might be the final straw for their marriage.

 

[LennieBriscoe]

OMG, STHU, Michael! Or slow way the hell down!

[VioletNevermind]

Michael, you’re just digging that hole deeper and deeper and deeper, buddy.  She’s onto you.  

[gonecrackers]

Meka says "he's lied about so much". There has to be a lot going on behind the scenes not being divulged.

This "love" talk is stupid.

And boring as hell.

I keep zoning out when Zach speaks.

At least I can know I'm not missing anything.

Listening to Zach talk makes me dizzy.  I feel so sorry for poor Mindy.  He is so obviously not into her in the slightest and is simply running out the clock.  Frankly, I think he’s so taken with himself that he can’t focus on anyone else.  When he takes off for his own apartment at the end of filming, I wish she would tell him to keep it moving and don’t bother continuing.

Zack calling that dog: 

The dog said "my name is Bennett, and I ain't in it. 

[linley]

18 days down and they are already talking love?  I've noticed this season, they went back to work immediately after the honeymoon.

[Hangin Out]

Zack keeps evading every question Mindy asks, lol.  Wake up Mindy.  It’s so obvious he’s just not into you for the 100th time.

[Hangin Out]

These men are just HATING these questions.  IMO, they just hate talking about “feelings”.  Too much talking, and I’ll bet they don’t even know what these women are talking about.   They are clueless.

Dayum, that dinner looks incredible!

[Ohwell]

Some advice to Taylor:  never fry anything wearing short shorts.  Trust me.  I've got the burn scar on my thigh from years ago when I was frying chicken.

It really does.  There's a lot of food on Brandon's plate.  

[gonecrackers]

Taylor & Brandon should just shut up & eat.

[VioletNevermind]

He has the audacity to walk away with his plates, presumably to the Xbox room?  Hell no. That was one labor-intensive meal she made for him.

It sure did.  Too bad they couldn’t enjoy it.  What exactly did she want anyhow?  She was either on the phone or bitchin about something.  Who could enjoy a meal?  Eat first and enjoy it.  Duke it out on the couch later.

Katie sure has had a lot of relationships for 26.

[LennieBriscoe]

This "Surprise Question" exercise is a gigantic loser!

[Kiss my mutt]

Can’t stand Katie and her issue with Derek never having been in love before. I’d rather have someone fall in love with me for the first time than someone who falls in love at the drop of a hat. Katie ain’t all that. 

[Hangin Out]

I couldn’t take Meka for three minutes.  She doesn’t stop talking and complaining.

[VioletNevermind]

“We’re both strong-willed people and I apologize for not communicating.  I’m still not going to be open with you, but here‘s a box of candy.”

😐

[karenbrady]

Ah man...the box of candy was sweet and Michael does seem just lost and sweet at times so maybe I was too harsh.

And now shut the fuck up.  (That's really what he wanted to say.)

[Soup333]

Taylor was gracious in making that food for Brandon. I would have gave that steak to the dog before I gave it to him.

Not three damn seconds. 
 

Brandon just said he’s put so much into the marriage?? Please. Tell me another one.

I laughed. He stormed out but he sure did take that meal with him!

[linley]

Michael is now the relationship expert.

[LennieBriscoe]

Taylor has refused to understand Brandon's objection to her constant phone attention, when he is right there. She has been giving him the distinct impression that her "followers" matter most, and always will. Hence, Brandon splits the scene, stage left.

Meka might have faked a little enthusiasm at getting the candy. Crack a smile, FPS! About his job: I think Michael simply prefers not to discuss that subject on camera or in the show at all.

So, Zach, about love..."Here, doggie! Come here, boy!"

This is why this show cannot work.  ( except for a few).  You have to pick and then get to know them before marriage.

Jessica, stop pushing for him to say I love you.

[Straycat80]

And Brandon is out! I’ll bet the ‘experts’ try to talk him into going back. 

[gonecrackers]

Well, one couple has imploded already; three more to go.

[linley]

I have never seen a season with so little smiles and laughter. Ease up, folks.

[Soup333]

Was Brandon carrying a gigantic tub of protein powder? I notice he didn’t have that air purifier. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I know this show is about seeing if love can develop but it sounds so incongruent to not rush into love but rush into marriage!

I see you are not considering Zach and Mindy as a couple and correctly so, haha!

I'm figuring Austin & Jessica will probably make it, but that's ^ correct as well. Actually Z&M can't "implode" because they just, aren't.

I wish Katie would just shut up. 

[Hangin Out]

Katy is a bit of a wise ass.  Not a good look on her.  She’s not all that.

[gonecrackers]

OMG Katie the Cool, putting up with "nerdy, dorky" Derek - how big of her. 🙄

[Ohwell]

Katie thinks Derek is a nerd but she doesn't realize that she's the one with no "game."  Girl please.

I can't freakin' stand her, so maybe I'm just a nerdy dork, & I'm okay with that.

[LennieBriscoe]

So Derek gives Katie a kiss and she is all "Whatever. Dorky." about it?

She might not be familiar with aerial aerobics, but she sure knows about riding a high horse!

[Empress1]

Michael has “All his life he had to fight” feet! OK, Meka, that was funny.

[Straycat80]

‘I hope things get better’, in other words, fix this because there’s more show we have to tape. Taylor is as done as Brandon is.

I almost fell off my couch. That’s the Meka I want to see. Not the sourpuss side. 

[gladitsover]

Most of these people are so impatient and so immature. Taylor is full of herself and doesn't seem like she is really in this for the right reasons. Katie is a brat. 

OTOH, Austin seems the most mature. Jessica's hair is very healthy and shiny. And Mindy is looking beautiful and sees right through Zach but at least she is honoring the show and what she signed up for.

[Empress1]

Has Taylor’s wig slipped back?

I think they’re all done in the end.  Jessica is starting to get clingy.  You never know.

[Empress1]

I’m still laughing at Michael’s Miss Sophia feet.

[Ohwell]

Yes.  That hair is a hot mess.  I do wonder what she's been up to because girlfriend looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet.  I think Brandon isn't the only one who's been slipping out.

Meka could be fun if she tried harder.  Then Michael would loosen up and start talking and telling her the truth.
