S12.E02: Hello, Stranger

[humbleopinion]

For one picky groom, his bride is not as he expected.

[Kiss my mutt]

Dare I call it now? I’m going with Chris.

The obvious choice..but I am calling Producer shenannies and it will be Gramps Jacob...

Haley's nose is too small for his weirdo fetish and she will turn her petite nose up to his lame-o small talk and irritating 80's references...

[cardigirl]

My guess would be that it's Ryan, as he's never been in love before and I'm thinking it's because he's rather picky.  🙂

I second your choice. That staged photo of them in the link posted to the thread for last week's episode makes them look like two strangers being told to pose together. The vibe is not good.

[VioletNevermind]

Does Ryan not realize that he really built up some serious expectations with the whole blindfold gag?  I’m certainly trying to maintain an open mind where he’s concerned, but the hipster high-water pants and modified-sorta-mohawk-combover are not helping at all.

Clara seems really picky and high maintenance. She’s really pounding the champagne too. I’d like to see Ryan with a little more grown out hair, he’s not a bad looking guy and he seems nice. 

[Mindthinkr]

I think Claire and Ryan seem to be getting along...for now. He did seem to cringe when she used the love word tho. 

[Crashcourse]

I didn't like Ryan's blindfold caper, but so far he seems nice.  I hope it's just Clara's nerves because she's pretty hyper right now.  

[Straycat80]

Virginia and the unicorn eye shadow is a bit too much. Her and Erik are going to be a mismatch I think.

Virginia looks cheap and tacky with that makeup.

[Kiss my mutt]

Well, if Ryan ever wanted his ass eaten out, now’s his chance. 

[Mindthinkr]

Oh dear, Virginia had too much to drink and she can’t control her emotions. 

[Crashcourse]

I have a feeling Eric's mom is not gonna like this at all.

Erik wants this too badly.  Miss Virginia seems like a nice person and she’s clearly a whole lot of fun, but I don’t envision her being ready for this level of responsibility and commitment.  She put more thought into that incredibly heavy eyeshadow than she did this massive change in her life.  It’s almost not fair to her that Erik piles all of this pressure on her right out of the gate.

I cannot believe she’s going out like that. All those people around and nobody told her “girl, no.” She looks terrible, the makeup look is inappropriate for the occasion, and the makeup job looks amateurish as hell. It is a complete makeup fail.

And the hair looks unwashed and kind of ratty, too.

Yes! I just texted my friend that her hair doesn’t look done. She looks ... bad. 

[VioletNevermind]

Whew, Virginia.  This girl is sloppy as hell.  I’m sad for her.  They’re not even to the reception yet and she’s already clearly “overserved.”

Was the theme color of the wedding purple, so everyone wear and/or dye their hair  purple.  Virginia’s mother (?) has purple striped hair and she looks ridiculous.

Maybe, but there are ways to work in purple that don’t look so tacky. That makeup job is like what you & your friends do at a sleepover when you’re 13 and don’t know how to put on makeup yet.

[Kiss my mutt]

Eric and Virginia have more chemistry to me than Ryan and Clara. She does look busted up ratchet though. 

[Crashcourse]

I like Brianna's mom.

[VioletNevermind]

“I need someone to have my back while I follow my dreams.”  One can interpret that all sorts of ways, few of them positively, in my opinion.  

[Mindthinkr]

I think both Eric and his Mom were giving Virginia the side eye about all her drinking. As a member of the military and a pilot he is more reserved about “letting go”.

Me too. Sensible and seems kind, like Iris’s mom from a few seasons ago.

[VioletNevermind]

Vincent and Briana’s family and friends seem lovely.  I sense a lot of support and love behind them both. 

[Crashcourse]

I really want these two to make it.

[Straycat80]

I like Brianna and Vince. His parents were not there?

I loved seeing Vincent and his groomsmen pray together.

[Kiss my mutt]

Nana so sad

[Mindthinkr]

As I’ve been watching the couples getting their pictures taken one thing kept creeping back into my mind about the first couple Clara and Ryan. While posing she kept leaning back...away from him. She was doing that in one of the last photos taken and his left hand was in his pocket. I don’t think this bodes well for them. Mr can’t say “I love you” probably won’t be able to again. 

[Madding crowd]

Virginia is going to get wasted and Erik won’t like that-they are a mismatch. I like the other couples so far but hope Vincent isn’t expecting a stay at home wife when he is getting a ambitious engineer. Briana had the prettiest dress among the brides so far.

I did too but then I remembered him chatting up the stripper ladies at the bachelor party and was pretty meh about it. 

[Myrtle Urkele]

Briana and Vincent look amazing together! They have a really good vibe.

Who is Nana? 

[Crashcourse]

Honestly, I didn't think much of Vincent talking to the strippers.  I thought he was just being relaxed and friendly and I doubt he was asking for their phone numbers.  

Virginia is a hot ass mess.

[VioletNevermind]

Vincent’s job is . . . interesting.  I can’t imagine paying someone even more money to buy a car for me, but maybe he only deals in high-end cars for people with deep pockets.

I know of a guy who does it to save you money. It's a few hundred bucks and he does all the negotiating so you just have to sign paperwork. Great for people who dread the dealership experience.

[Crashcourse]

So now I'm wondering who the "picky" groom is.  Erik?  

[Straycat80]

So I guess the other two couples weddings are next week. I think picky groom will be Chris. These three seems to be good with each other (for right now).

Yeah, the episode title made me think that the picky groom would be this episode.  But nooooo......they'll make us wait until next week for the train wreck. 

[Kiss my mutt]

So, Vincent sells cars like Chris with the extra verbiage 

Erik’s parents look mortified. 

[Brooklynista]

I'm not here for Paige's cheap wig. Sis, if you're going to go with this look , spend the money and get a decent lace front.

[Hangin Out]

Oh boy .. hope the Pilot likes a drinker.  She hasn’t stopped drinking or touching that hair.  He’s looking a little scared now.  His wife is a Party Girl.

This is about the time that I would like an angry emoji. I agree, they will string up us along wondering until next week. 
 

Looks they are even giving us extra bait by beginning another ceremony. 

[VioletNevermind]

Aaaand here’s Chris.  *sigh*  If I had even an eighth of his self-confidence, I would be a different person.  I already feel sorry for his soon-to-be wife.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Chris is such an ass. He’s so worried about if he will light up when he sees her but he doesn’t consider the possibility that she won’t either. He is one ugly dude. 

[Madding crowd]

Did Chris just swear under his breath at seeing his bride? She is a lovely woman. I don’t like him now and why go on this show if you are this picky?
