S10.E11: Anniversaries and Secrets

[Hangin Out]

This show sucks.  Right now I can’t stand ALL of them.  Mindy is a dope, Zack is a psycho, Freckles is a brat, Meka is annoying, Taylor is a liar and Jessica is controlling.  Oh, and Derek is a kiss ass.  I’m sick of seeing rose petals on the floors too.

[VioletNevermind]

Oh, Mindy.  Hang up and erase that “close friend” from your life.  She has broken every conceivable girl code out there.

Wait,wait, wait, I don’t expect anything from Zach but her friend? Mindy needs to get higher quality friends. She really gets shat on a lot. 

[LennieBriscoe]

Mindy, Zach is trying not to say something really bad about you, on TV. He told you he wouldn't say it, on CAMERA!

But he's a weaselly cheater. Oh, and "your friend and I are very simpatico" is not a good thing.

[Straycat80]

So Zach had been lying to Mindy. Lyndsay is lying to Mindy. I was feeling sorry for Mindy but not anymore, she really is dumb.

And I wonder why?  I believe in the "two sides to a story" theory and I do wonder about Mindy.

[Hangin Out]

Mindy is a mop.  She lets people wash the floor with her.  Someone needs to beat the shit out of Zack.  I know .. I’m exaggerating, but something in that order.

Why does Michael never look at people in the eyes when he talks to them?  He’s always looking down.

One month and Jessica wants an “I love you”.  Pushing, pushing.

We know one thing about her: She doesn't know when to fold 'em. That "2 and Jack" have just got to be a winning hand!

Speaking of food, have we seen Miss Meka cook anything yet?

Let's hope she has plenty of spices for her cooking when the time comes.

[Ohwell]

This was dull dull dull.

The rose petals are too much.

[Empress1]

Lindsay either has fucked or wants to fuck Zach, and Lindsay is not her friend. Mindy needs better people in her life. The “until filming is over” thing was a big tell.

(I actually do delete texts with some regularity & have my phone set up to delete them after a year, but Lindsay is just shady as fuck.)

[Soup333]

Zach is so full of shit I can’t stand it. What the hell is this show? Jesus. 

[Straycat80]

Next week looks about as frustrating as this week. At least they are putting Zach on blast. And are we ever going to find out what Zach thinks is dishonest about Mindy? At this point I don’t really care. 

[LennieBriscoe]

Why couldn't Mindy straight up ask Lindsay to tell her exactly what Zach said about his marriage and Mindy?? And especially what big, bad sin of omission Mindy supposedly committed?

Dang, that dame is maddening.

[Adeejay]

I am confused.  What exactly is Zach accusing Mindy of? Seeing Meka happy was a nice change.  Let's hope it stays that way.

[LennieBriscoe]

 No-Friend of Mindy admitted to looking forward to a relationship with Zach post-filming. Probably figured, Hey, I could have been his at-first-sight bride instead!

Taylor’s wig had slipped back again in the nail salon

Is it really a wig? How do you know? I have very long and thick straight hair and always keep it up in a bun because it gets in the way. I have no idea how she tolerates that mane especially if it’s fake. It’s like wearing a hood and a hat at once.

[OnTime]

So Brandon and Taylor meet up to discuss their problems.

The best place they can go to is a nail salon where they don't even look at each other and the manicurists have to listen.

Nothing. It is all an act.

It has been a month and he is still living at his own place. He has no desire to be married to Mindy so now he is trying to make her the bad guy.

I don't even know what Katie and Derek are arguing about.

So Katie wants a definitive answer to will Derek fall in love with her, he can't give it, so she walks out, so he said FU, & this is ridiculous.

Katie had said that she was keeping her apartment (to move back into if Derek doesn't say I love you quickly enough), and Derek was not happy about her keeping her place.

[Adeejay]

Someone should probably inform Jessica and Katie that having a man say, "I love you", doesn't always mean a darn thing.  And, many, many women have the scars to prove it.  

[answerphone]

Zach is a psycho😖

[rebel2u]

Taylor doesn't need to go to a nail salon; she needs to go to a wig restoration store.

I find Zach less and less physically appealing every week. Good  looks sure can be offset by a mean heart.

Jessica needs to thank her lucky stars she was matched with easy-going Austin.  Not many men would put up with being scolded all the time.  They walk in the door and Austin is holding a picture and she says "Don't break it!"; she's brushing her teeth, he says he's going to go to sleep and she demands, "Aren't you going to brush your teeth?"  Quit being all parental, Jessica; he's your husband, not your son.

For their one month anniversary, Derek makes a photo album for them and then has wine, fruit, chocolate to eat and drink while they are having a romantic bubble bath.  She gets him...nothing.  Who's the brat now, Katie?

I'll believe the trip to Jamaica when I see it.

 I think you just nailed.  He wanted some blonde bimbo with implants and a push up bra. But he got a nice girl.  If he thought this would lead to some other reality show, he is wrong because he is becoming hated.

It’s kind of cruel to have that Anniversary box and pictures of the wedding in Mindy’s apartment when Zach doesn’t even live there. Plus he was just an asshole to her. 

True.....but unfortunately this show (and most reality shows) do not care for feel good stories...they sell advertisements with conflict and humiliation.

[JocelynCavanaugh]

Katie and Jessica are both fools. They got men who actually like them, but they’re willing to go to the mat over semantics. Normal people don’t “fall in love” in eight weeks. That’s an unreasonable and childish expectation. They both seem to think they’re extremely mature and impressive professionals, but they’re actually basic and thirsty. 

Mindy is one of the most likable people on the show, ever, but I can’t take the kicked puppy routine any more. Calling Nasty Ass Zach to come do his American Psycho impersonation over their wedding photos was too much. I don’t care if production told her to. She needed to tell them to screw off. The utter contempt he oozed at her during dinner at the Gaslight Inn was unreal. I don’t think even Derek and Heather of the ill-fated Marijuana Honeymoon had that much hatred for each other. 

I thought Meka did a good job compared to usual when she made it through breakfast. It sucks to consume calories you do not want, at a time you do not want them, just to placate the martyr ego you’re living with. For her, I consider choking it down and rating it a 7 a solid win. 

[Soup333]

I’m just not interested in watching Mindy be upset about her family not supporting her, then watch her dumb ass husband treat her like she has cooties and then watch her friend shit on her too. This is not entertaining. I feel sorry for her.

Actually, Mindy needs to beat Lindsey senseless. I'm sure she has no expectations of Zach at this point, but it appears that her so-called "close friend" may have/probably slept with Zach. When Lindsey tried to turn herself into a victim of Zach, it became obvious. Hell, I'm surprised she didn't use the fake rape card.

[For Cereals]

Still watching the west coast feed but was the dinner with Zach after the photos and they’re showing out of sequence?  Makes no sense that she would call and invite him over after his assholery.  I know this is also Mindy so...

[humbleopinion]

This Episode was as interesting as watching that hand holding plaster harden...

Zach is detestable.

He once again  mind f*cks Minsy on camera.....

Zach and Min are unwatchable but he surpassed his usual asshatery tonight as he dramatically rambles on and on about her being dishonest.... so what is it as....what did she do...spill.....Probably nothing....what a jerk...

Zach hope your clients like seeing you being a manipulative liar.

Meka...go ahead and cut Michael deep and reject his love/breakfast.

Andre champagne for the mimosa is deserving of a spit take though....nasty...

Taylor and Brandon please terminate your association with the show....we all feel the Intense hatred you have for each other through our teevee screen

Katie knowingly shat on and sabotaged the anniversary celebration with the news she’s keeping her townhouse. She pushed Derek’s buttons until he said FU.She wants to hurt before she gets hurt.

Derek is a thoughtful guy but some of  his hopes and dreams are of a 12 year old....

She really is.  I'm hoping that out there somewhere is a nice man watching this show, or a woman who knows a nice man, who would be perfect for Mindy and they would magically find each other.  I wish they would do a "second chance at love" show like they did several years ago for MAFS particpants who didn't find love on the show.  Mindy would be perfect for that and probably others would be, too.  

It's funny: Zach thinks he's the good looking one of the couple but I find his appeal diminishing on a weekly basis and Mindy's increasing.

And failing miserably at it.  He's as transparent as Saran Wrap.  How can he even try to push this BS?  He is truly sick in the head.  Maybe he and Brandon got together and came up with a similar scheme.

It took me two weeks to fall in love.  Sometimes you just know.  But these women are risking a lot at the end of 8 weeks to stay with someone if they don't "see a pathway" as they say.  I think Jessica does see that pathway taking shape with Austin, but would "just prefer" hearing it before the 8 weeks are up.  I don't think she's getting pissy about it, really.  Katie knows there's a potential problem with Derek because he's been down this road before and still never fallen in love.  But even if he does say it, it's still a risk.  Saying doesn't guarantee anything.  They could still break up later anyway.

That’s why I said “not normal” and not “totally impossible.” It can happen, but the chances are even smaller in a situation like this. I think Austin and Derek could both be heading that direction, but Katie and Jessica could browbeat them out of it.

I know, that's amazing, isn't it?  I now think Mindy is better looking than Zach.  He is so repulsive to me as a person that I can't even find him remotely good looking anymore.  When they were ice skating I thought she looked very graceful and he looked like an uncoordinated doofus.

Poor Mindy lost a husband a month ago and just lost a friend. She needs to demand a husband refund.

Zach has officially taken the king jackass hat. Who tells someone they were dishonest about something and that is whats putting the skids on everything but then won't say what? A jerk of course but I don't want to insult other jerks by putting Zach in the same category...

I know, and then she denied that she wanted anything to do with him "when filming is over".  Lies!  Just how shady are some of these people?  I guess Mindy's issues in not finding men extend to female friends too.  It's sad.  Although I do wonder what Zach is hinting at re: her dishonesty.  I want to think he's just gaslighting her and trying to make her the bad guy and there's nothing to it.  Mindy seems like a naive but sweet person and Zach is an asshole so of course I believe her over him.  Maybe it's something stupid like her girlfriend told him she told the experts something that isn't technically true to get on the show.  Something that no one would really care about but Zach wants to blow up into a huge lie.  Or maybe the girlfriend (since we know we can't trust her) told him a lie about Mindy because she wanted him for herself.

[godursohandsum]

Did Michael really have to spend 10 minutes mumbling on and on to announce his fake trip to Jamaica? Spit your lie out already. 

 

I actually was enraged when Mindy was on the phone with her 'friend'. Lindsay was obviously up to something shady with Zach and Mindy was being so polite, I could not have remained so calm through that conversation.

Amen to that. Austin is a total sweetie. I didn't find him attractive at first but his thoughtful actions and goodness have totally won me over.  Jess needs to just relax as I think Austin is in it for the long haul. She also needs to leave her nurse/manager cap at work and stop being so bossy towards her husband and overly critical. Jmho
