S10.E10: I Want You to Want Me

[humbleopinion]

Meka must be feeling good that Michael digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole as he lies for absolutely no gain...

Proving once again her accusation that he is a lying liar...

[gonecrackers]

The show is going to milk this shit all season. I don't want to hear or see Taylor, Michael, or their spouses anymore. I might be out if this keeps up.

[LennieBriscoe]

Well, that was a ridiculous "cooking class." No lessons and no cooking! And Mindy thinks there's lack of affection in another couple?!

[Meowwww]

Meka is judge, jury, and executioner.  I can barely listen to her.  Who knows what up with Michael.  I know someone who lies, all the time, about everything.  It’s a mental illness.  Is he lying?  He can’t even get in a word edgewise with Meka’s shrill anger and thundercloud over her head.  But he sucks. 
I hate Brandon, but I hate Taylor more.  The way she switched gears from “sobbing” to earnest in a split second was messed up.  And she finally admitted she posted the video to hurt him.

He invites her to a yoga class he says he teaches & they don't even know who he is. I wonder if anyone knows who Michael really is (they might now).

What I don't understand is why he would even invite her to a yoga class that he doesn't teach.  Wouldn't he know that she'd find out right away?

Taylor's muscle bound friend is annoying.

[Straycat80]

Taylor’s friends are as clueless as she is. 

[scoopski potata]

He’s playing the victim? HE’S playing the victim?

You gotta be fucking kidding me. I hate these people.

I'd add Mindy and Zach to that group.

Here we go with the fucking"game" shit from Katie.  This little turtle-faced bitch has gotten on my last nerve.

I would've liked to hear a clear explanation, but Michael never has a clear explanation for anything he says or does.

[gladitsover]

Did the show ever vet these people?

[ShowFan]

Why is Dr Pepper wearing a massage ball on her neck?

[gladitsover]

Michael needs therapy, not a marriage or a tv show.

[gonecrackers]

Someone please take that bottle of juice or whatever Michael keeps sucking down & dump it on his head.

[Hangin Out]

I swear, Jessica had to read a book on “How to keep your Husband Happy”.  She’s doing everything right.  The way to a man’s heart .. bake chocolate chip cookies, then slap him on the ass and say “good job”.  He’s on cloud nine, now follow up with a romp in the hay and he’s yours.
 

[Straycat80]

So Michael is admitting he’s a lying liar who lies. And of course Dr. Pepper thinks this married can be saved. This show is becoming more and more ridiculous. 

[gonecrackers]

Lying, blame shifting, isolating - no Meka - there is no "there" to get to with this guy.

[gladitsover]

Meka has no clue how to be vulnerable. She thinks yelling and complaining is being vulnerable, but it is anything but. 

[Adeejay]

I just can't believe it took Mindy three and a half weeks to realize that perhaps her parents were right and that being "Married at First Sight" might not be a good idea. Gee, I wonder how she arrived at that conclusion. Surely, it's not because her "husband" appears to find her revolting.

Katie doesn't think Derek is trying hard enough to woo her.  I hate to say it, but she isn't as hot as she seems to believe she is.  In New York she would be consider a 5 and in L.A. a 4.  I really admire her confidence.

[LennieBriscoe]

Zach just had a big "Gulp" moment. He keeps trying to find a way to reject Mindy while looking like a good guy.

OTOH, Dr. Pepper seems to believe that, gosh darn, kids, all ya gotta do is give it more!

[Ohwell]

I know I heard in an earlier episode Michael told Dr. Pepper he taught yoga, but I don't remember him saying once a month.  I thought it was more often than that. 

I wonder, is he lying about things because he's married to Meka and just doesn't like her, or is he just a liar no matter who he's with?

Edited March 6, 2020 by Ohwell

[ShowFan]

You need to be licensed to teach yoga even as a sub. Michael is either a licensed yoga instructor or is not. Perhaps the studio allowed him to sub for 10-15 minutes, maybe a warmup, while the real instructor came and Michael stretched that to call himself a “yoga instructor.”  And no, Michael, you can’t blame that on Meka because you were lying about it before you even met her. As for the class, he probably had arranged for them to take it, but when she found out he doesn’t teach, probably some drama followed and they missed it

[humbleopinion]

Meka... enjoy being right that Michael lies lies lies...luxuriate in smugness....just shut up....

In all fairness, there could have been plenty of time between the scenes. We saw them as if they were together. But yes, I agree that she is very immature about handling this

I thought he invited her to a class at the studio where he claimed to teach, but he didn’t teach that particular class. And I mean, if he cleans the rooms he can probably attend classes free, which is a great deal (yoga classes are pricey), but that is not teaching. Teaching yoga requires a certification that takes at least 200 hours to obtain.

[Straycat80]

How many weeks do we have to watch three of these couples pretend like ‘maybe’  things will work out? There’s no way. I’m on the fence with Katie and Derek. Austin and Jessica will be fine I think.

 

[Hangin Out]

Holy Smokes .. Meka letting him have it again at the restaurant.  Who can talk that fast?  She is a complete turn off.  If I were a guy, I could not take that blabbering for one minute, never mind for the rest of my life.

[LennieBriscoe]

So, Michael's beef is that Meka doesn't do or say the right thing after he lies, stands her up, and never directly addresses her accusations.

Why does he not deny being a liar? Why didn't he reply to Meka's specific charge about his not being a yoga teacher?

Only one conclusion.

Same thing with Taylor. Lying about her video, like saying she is single is okay because Brandon wasn't supposed to see it.

I should have made my post clearer, what I should have said was that I didn't understand why he'd invite her to any yoga class if he didn't teach there.

Good grief, Charlie Brown! Derek didn't even make Kraft Deluxe!

SHUTTHEFUCKUP MEKA!

Just.Shut.Up.

I would be cutting the cheese on that yoga mat.

[gonecrackers]

Mindy thinks there's a connection while Zach looks terrified.

[Empress1]

It’s possible that Michael is indeed a sub yoga teacher. I used to have a coworker who got certified to teach Pilates and once she was certified she started out on the sub list at a studio (I think she has a regular class now).

[Adeejay]

I am not sure it was a good idea to put Mindy and Zach in such intimate positions.  He looked like he wanted to die. I hope she showered.  

[Straycat80]

Tantric yoga with the couple least likely to succeed and Zach who can’t stand Mindy. Who thought this would be a good idea? 

[LennieBriscoe]

Hey, maybe we can have a group activity with Tantric Yoga!

Carlos Ponce can be the instructor (from "Couples Retreat"):

Meka's voice is one of those that would be a deal-breaker for me. I'm that way.

Pepper at least held Zach’s feet to the fire. She should have done the same thing to Taylor. 
Maybe Michael taught a yoga class to his students with special needs once. 
I don’t believe a thing he says but Meka just can’t take a deep breath and let him speak

Yep but it's hard to penetrate a brick wall and that appears to be what she married, I will give her credit for trying, I couldn't with him. (This is about Meka)

Are you guys watching Bride and Prejudice? I watched the first episode last week but it looks like a stinker. 
Why Taylor and Brandon are meeting up at all is beyond me. What else is there to say. Guess production needs to eek out a few more scenes. 
 

After seeing Doug’s holey moley face, (and Colt’s mom on 90 day fiancé), derek’s doesn’t phase me. Moles need love too!
