Nowhere August 29, 2016 Share August 29, 2016 Wow. Nick is a serious asshole. There was no reason for him to respond to that woman like that. He seems to think he's really clever and Sonia thinks she's funny too but they both come across as being about 10 yrs old. So he can get smug about his degree but he's just really making himself seem like a dick. "You want you some Nick, eh?" What's that all about?? Um no. You can keep your little weasel of a husband. He just needs a hat and he'll look like Feivel Mouskewitz. "Bye Felipe!" Haha, clever. Not. I guess they think they're better now that they're on tv. They're talking down to people on social media. That's not a way to gain fans or business so Nick is wrong about that. I really don't like them now. 4 Link to comment

So damn rude. I don't think she ever said she hated or didn't like dogs but was scared of them. So something may have happened to her at some point. Yet because she is from a certain country she is suppose to just like them no matter what according to that one person. WTF kind of crap is that? I find it rude that some people do not get there are those with a fear of dogs. There are reasons for it and some never get over it and others do. I bet if they had something happen those people wouldn't be so quick to judge someone's fear. As well as they probably have their own fear others might find stupid. 1 hour ago, HZAnita said: I could be mistaken, but I think the negative feelings toward Nick came from the earlier thread I posted, where he got kind of snarky with a fan.

The way he speaks it the car redux, he sets her up that if she says no then she is a gold digger and poor put upon Tom was saddled with another materialistic woman.

Nick T is just some snarky fan of the show just like all of us. Nick P shouldn't feel he needs to respond to comments from fans in the way that he did. It reflects poorly on his character. What does it say about somebody who feels the need to get into petty arguments about grammar, and then brag about his degrees and businesses, with a fan of the show that he's on. If his ego insisted that he respond, it could have been simple and less condescending IMO. If you choose to put yourself in the public eye you have to have a thicker skin. You have to be prepared to deal with criticism gracefully because you will receive a lot of it. The fact that Nick and Sonia can't ignore comments on a fan page and they react to negative comments like children, shows that they cant handle the position they're in. Nobody is asking them to be role models but a little bit of tact is not an unreasonable request. I used my Twitter account a lot during the last season of MAFS. Anyway, I didn't like Jamie last season, and I tweeted something to the effect of "we should take a drink every time Jamie says 'my ex' or 'beeebeee' and we'll be wasted'" She responded with some cute emojis but really friendly. I forget exactly but she actually gave me a like for my comment and she didn't take it to heart. I ended up thinking, ok this girl isn't so bad. I wasn't as nice to David. I think I said something about his friends being douchbags and him being a terrible liar (not my proudest moment I'll admit). I forget the exact wording. He didnt care at all though and he and Ashley both ended up following me on Twitter. So I actually softened toward them. At one point I offered my sympathy during the episode where David threw a fit because it was Father's Day, because my dad died too. David very kindly responded. It didn't seem to bother him that I called his friends douchbags before. Because whether I like him or not, he's a grown man and doesn't get all butt hurt over a fan not liking him. Could you imagine if I had said any of that to Nick or Sonia? They would have told me the fuck off and acted like they are somehow better than the rest of us. That's why I lost respect for both of them after reading their Facebook comments. It's like the cast from last season were adults who were prepared for their sudden fame, and the cast from this season is a bunch of babies acting out on social media. I thought I heard mention somewhere upthread of Derek bragging about women saying he was hot on Twitter. If so, it's no wonder he wasn't in a relationship before the show. Talk about frat boy behavior. That's just how I feel about it. 3 Link to comment

And I guess I understand the "social" aspect of being able to think you're interacting with people you don't really know as if you do know them or are friends with them. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

humbleopinion August 31, 2016 Share August 31, 2016 Help me with the timeline... Get married That night go home separate to their own places? Next morning brunch with the families. Spend another night separate in their own places? Leave for honeymoon. Link to comment

I think it is more Day 1 Get married - spend wedding night together Day 2 - Brunch and leave for honeymoon Day 3 - 6 Honeymoon Day 7 - Return from honeymoon - Night alone Day 8 - Look for houses - Night together (bus for Lilly, Nicks for Sonia) Day 9 - Move in together Edited August 31, 2016 by crazychicken Off by a day Link to comment
humbleopinion August 31, 2016 Share August 31, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the time line. Purely speculation on my part for the sake of conversation... The reason why Heather is so vehemently grossed out by Derek and as others on this forum have hinted and I am just speculating... he tried to exercise his marital duties/liberties too soon. They didn't cuddle on the first night because she was in the bathroom all night with the door locked. We can only suppose it was one of the following or none of the following- too naked too soon, pushing her hand down there accidentally/on purpose, pressing the morning boner against her backside, dirty talking-whatever it was it must have been a doozy. At brunch, day 2 where you could already see Heather was trying to put on a happy face for her parents but trapped. Edited August 31, 2016 by humbleopinion nitpicking my own grammar 5 Link to comment

I'm in the minority but I believe Heather checked out the marriage after she walked down the to get married I don't think she's even ready for marriage I don't think it has anything to do with Derek people have a hard time accepting that fact 6 Link to comment

I know 100K was said for that one but everything that was said for these 1 and done groups was, at most I have seen, 10K. Yet the thing is we have no way to know for sure since it won't be said by anyone and if that amount (no matter what it is) is split between the 2 or per person. I don't see this show with his low budget editing paying the couples a lot. Its not on a major network that would have that type of budget. 2 minutes ago, Unknownname said: I'm in the minority but I believe Heather checked out the marriage after she walked down the to get married I don't think she's even ready for marriage I don't think it has anything to do with Derek people have a hard time accepting that fact I don't think it was that soon. If she had there would have been no way she would have kissed him at the altar or anytime after that during the wedding and no way would she have let him dance so close to her or hold hands as they left. As well as arms around her in bed at the end. She didn't have a look of checked out at that point. It was something after all this where there is pieces missing on what happened. Who knows we may never hear what it is either or they are saving it until the very biter end. 2 Link to comment
Jellybeans August 31, 2016 Share August 31, 2016 Did we ever see her excited about any part of the wedding process? 2 Link to comment
