S11.E15: Pack Your Bags!

[OnceSane]

Quote

As Decision Day quickly approaches, the couples meet with trusted friends and family to discuss concerns about their spouses; new problems arise for some, as they spend what could be their last night together as husband and wife.

Airs October 21, 2020.

[Crashcourse]

*sigh* Whyyyyyy do we need to see "friends and family" again?  This is so tired.

[Kiss my mutt]

Wonder if they’ll wear masks. 

[Hangin Out]

That Woody is one sharp dude.  Blue velvet suit, blue velvet shoes and flower in his lapel to match, gorgeous jewelry.  And here’s Jamie in her matching blue dress, legs all out on display like they care.  Not a great look if she “rolls the clip” on herself.

[gonecrackers]

Ha, Christina & Henry are in separate bedrooms. The retreat with one bed must've been hell.

Maybe one of them stayed in the room that was supposed to be for Olivia and Brett?

In separate cabins LOL.

Amani:  "Woody and I's marriage."  Ugh

Bennett’s friend is a real ray of sunshine and positivity isn’t he?

He's not wrong, though.

He's a skeptical cynic throwing a dose of reality like a slab of hardened concrete at Bennett's head. I like him.

[VioletNevermind]

Jeez, Bennett’s Friend.  Are you in love with Bennett or what?  He’s discouraging this relationship as if he’s jealous.  It’s always nice to be supportive of your friends if you think they’re making an ill-advised decision, but at a certain point, it’s their life.  Back off and at least attempt to be a friend.

(Now here’s Grandma Woody.  She can offer some advice and guidance.  She’s earned it.)

It looks like Woody's gained some COVID weight since the wedding.  

[gonecrackers]

Oh FFS Amelia couldn't just talk to a friend, of course. 🙄

[Crashcourse]

Amelia:  Talking to a fake-ass "tarot reader" is not a good look for someone planning on being a doctor.  Prospective patients might be watching you right now.

[VioletNevermind]

Amelia and her friends are all cuddled up together like preteen girls at a slumber party.  I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but there is no way in hell I would use her as my doctor.  She could probably go the holistic route, but I can’t see the standard medical community accepting her.

Now Amelia is wearing the watermelon toddler outfit Bennett was wearing earlier.

All he lacks is a hat with a feather in it.

What is that very yellow drink Karen and her friends are drinking? It’s bothering me they aren’t eating that giant bowl of guacamole. 
karen wants Miles to ‘put her in her place’. What!? 

[Valegro]

I swear women like Karen never learn. She wants a hypermasculine man to tell her what to do and be in charge so she doesn't have to put out any emotional effort into the relationship. And then she cries a river when this tough manly man impregnates his mistress like everyone else didn't see it coming. 

She's not emotionally mature enough for this process if she can't open up to a more open and sensitive man.

[rebel2u]

You can be a very smart doctor and still consult a tarot card reader for fun, as they seemed to be doing; the two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

[Crashcourse]

I just think that Amelia is overdoing the quirkiness.  It's tiring.  

I like Brett's friend.

[Myrtle Urkele]

All this lack of social distancing and mask wear throughout episode is giving me alot of anxiety lol.

Lying about your husband being gay is not giving 100% ChristinA. 
Henry is so done with all this. He should  have taken a cue from Brett and walked.

Love the expressions ChristinA's friend makes when she talks about not being needy and not being a liar.

And that was a pretty crappy reader too. Her and Bennett’s brand is showing how “they’re SO not like other people”. It’s starting to feel a little artificial. Thaddeus was doling out some tough love but he wasn’t wrong, he just needed to sandwich all that in with something positive, if he’s able. Brett’s friend seems to think he’s kind of an asshole too, but I think it stems from him being incredibly insecure. 
Loved Woody’s grandma and the T-shirt he was wearing and Amani’s friends too.  

Christina declaring how deeply loved she’s been in the past is complete bullshit and her dad laughing when she said she’s not needy was hilarious. Can she be any more pompous? She and Brett need to try dating. It wouldn’t be a love match but fun to see how their dynamic changes with much different personalities. Olivia saying she’d consider getting back together reeks of desperation because she Just wants to be married.  
Karen’s friends seem really nice. It’s so great to hear adult conversation that’s not riddled with whining, bitching and a torrent of “likes” and “uhhs”. 

[Crashcourse]

I don't believe Woody.  He'll say "yes" on decision day, but I still think he's a playa.

[Cancun]

I noticed Karen didn’t hug her girlfriends when they arrived. Maybe it was due to social distancing, but I am inclined to think Karen just isn’t touchy-feely with anyone. Not good or bad, just an observation that helps inform whether her distance from Miles is about Miles or more about Karen.

Bennett’s friend...I wish Bennet would have said, “You make valid points for making a decision to divorce IF next week were the only day I could make that decision. But it’s not. Instead, we can stay married and wait to see if anything you said (about when life becomes real) causes us to change our minds.”  That whole charade about Decision Day being the only time they can divorce (yes, I know they have to pay for the divorce if it happens later...just like in real life!) is crazy making!

Oh, and producer shenanigans to have the tarot card reader cut out just as she may have been delivering ominous news.  We see you, producers!

I agree 100%.  I’ve been a Woody fan from day one, but I don’t think he’s done sowing those wild oats quite yet.  I think he’s a nice guy who genuinely likes women as people, but some men just have too much charisma for their own good.

[Straycat80]

Although I think Bennett and Amelia are a perfect couple, the quirky overload is now off the charts.  Would you want a doctor with a papier-mâché  pumpkin crown on her head? There are people who are not going to take her seriously. 
It was probably not a good idea to admit you came on the show because you thought it would be fun to be on a reality show.

Me too. And Brett was being his usual jerk self. I know he believes he’s the second coming of George Carlin, but his friend was trying to have a real conversation with him. And all Brett had were sarcastic comments.

That’s my fear. That once the hyper reality of the show is over, Woody mighty get bored and become unfaithful. Then again, I never expected him and Amani to get along so well in the first place. So what do I know?

[Elizzikra]

So Henry basically said that ChristinA threatened to "out" him (e.g. share the text message claiming he had a male lover) if he didn't finish the process?

BITCH! I wish that no LGBTQ person ever felt a need to be closeted but her behavior is reprehensible.

He's said he's not gay but yes she is a huge bitch.

[gonecrackers]

ChristinA is manipulating because she doesn't want Henry to dump her on "the" day.

[Elizzikra]

Oh I know - but the fact that she a) perceived such a text as being a threat and b) used it as a threat really enrages me.

[rebel2u]

ChristinA saying she's not going to be shitty anymore is ChristinA lying again.

[VioletNevermind]

Lawd.  Henry interacts with Christina like she’s a brush fire that he’s frantically trying to put out.  God bless him, he’ll be away from her soon.

You got this, Henry!  Just a little longer!  Solidarity, buddy! ✊

And tearing up over compliments that Henry had to really dig deep to identify... bullshit. There is seriously something wrong with ChristinA...

[PupCal]

Karen just needs to get on Fetlife and find herself a Dom/start reading BDSM how-tos.

[endure]

Miles is a super nice guy but honestly he could be a lot too needy for me, maybe that's how Karen feels too,  they may end up being good friends and that's Ok too. I think they're both good people.

[rebel2u]

Miles made his great speech and Karen to me looked like she was seconds away from having her eyes glaze over and cross.

[Crashcourse]

It just occurred to me when watching Henry that his demeanor and tics remind me of Anthony Perkins in Psycho.  Come to think of it, he even looks like Anthony Perkins.  (To be clear, I like Henry and I'm not saying that he is psycho.  Not at all, lol.) 

[gonecrackers]

ChristinA is half right - SHE needs counseling.

[Crashcourse]

I think ChristinA is cray cray and Henry is actually scared of her because he senses that she is.

I think that he has a mild form of Tourette's or maybe the tics are a symptom of some social anxiety.

And ChristinA - counseling is probably not really going to help overcome the fact that you tried to BLACKMAIL your husband to stay in the marriage!

[rebel2u]

Henry reminds me of a duck---calm on top and frantically paddling underneath.  

I love Amelia's hair that length.

Christina is BATSHYT CRAZY. I can't stand to look at her much longer. She's a monster.

[Crashcourse]

They're really gonna have to disinfect and fumigate Bennett and Amelia's apartment when they leave.  Nasty asses.

I always thought she was a little "thick" even in her wedding gown, but you're right, she does look like she's gained weight too.
