I've gotten that impression. She may think that she can turn Chris with her horizontal party tricks. I think you're spot on. Also, I think Paige has used her ass--excuse me, azz--as her main attraction, instead of choosing guys who were interested in her other qualities besides her body. 2 Link to comment

Or have been on questionnaire. Clara came from family of preachers didn’t she? I might have missed evidence to the contrary, but i didn't get the sense Clara was hostile towards organized religion. I could see her as being accepting of it in her partner even if that's not her thing 3 Link to comment
Kiss my mutt February 6, 2021 Share February 6, 2021 Show of hands, how many of you, if a guy told you he wasn’t attracted to you, after he hit it twice, would keep giving it up for him? Just me? She needs some self respect. She’s going to keep boinking him until he finds her attractive? Maybe sex has been her mo for keeping guys interested in the past? I have a hard time reconciling this with her insistence that “It’s all in God’s plans” because it absolves her from any agency in making better decisions. Chris is a piece of human trash, but come on, girl, do better! 17 Link to comment
JLaw February 6, 2021 Share February 6, 2021 I might be alone on an island here but I see Haley as the "problem" in her relationship with Jake. Jake is not the most emotive dude but I get the sense once he feels comfortable with someone he opens up. Haley might not be willing to wait around to unlock that box. She seems frustrated that he is not immediately reacting to her charms. As a bear who takes time to warm up to people i definitely sympathize with Jake even though I am sick of hearing about his remodel 13 Link to comment

If Jake wants to come out of his shell, Haley might be able to bring that out, but I don’t really see anything that indicates that he has a problem with the way he is (nor should he). I think he’s kind of dull, but he also has a life he seems to like - he seems to genuinely like fixing up his house, he has a good job, good friends. If Haley needs someone more outgoing (and I think she does), they should have paired her with someone more outgoing. I just posted something similar to this. You did it way better than I did. I definitely have Jake like tendencies... I have also dated a bunch of Haleys who left feeling frustrated 3 Link to comment

Here's the part that none of them called him on. Let's say that he really did want to try to develop a bond/attraction through sex. That would only explain having done it the first time. When that didn't work, it wasn't magically going to work the second time. And maybe it was edited out from earlier in their talking, but basically when they were having that conversation on the bed, it was as though they were just going to pretend to start over from there on out, without actually dealing with the ramifications of what he said. Paige seemed like she was trying to be a bit seductive, and I just couldn't fathom that. 4 Link to comment

That would only explain having done it the first time. When that didn't work, it wasn't magically going to work the second time. But it might have worked over time. At least that's what I would argue if I were him and wanted to keep at it. However, I find myself thinking that Paige may have been wrong to bring it up to his parents. I was cheering when she was doing it, but in retrospect, it was more like she was tattling on him. Unfortunately, the waters are muddied by his father being such a creep in bringing up sex when he first met her (and his delivery--OMG), so maybe she had the impression his family was just one big sex discussion. But seems to me it's the sort of thing you want to be pretty sure about before diving in to a discussion of your sex life with your partner's parents. And there's still the tattling angle. Because, really, what sort of resolution was she hoping to get from them? Getting it off her chest? Great, but maybe not to them. Then again, maybe she was just in shock and wasn't thinking clearly. I know I was in shock, and I wasn't even there. But Chris's anger at her talking to her friends about it? Completely misplaced. But maybe he was lumping it all into one big ball of indiscretion, or he was just as in shock as she was? What a mess. But it looked like from the "next time on" that they continue to have not only sex, but unprotected sex. How the hell am I supposed to root for Paige in that situation? 23 hours ago, JLaw said: I might have missed evidence to the contrary, but i didn't get the sense Clara was hostile towards organized religion.

So it won't be just a matter of accepting it in her partner (which I agree can be done). 4 Link to comment

I don’t know about Vegas but in all of the hotels that I’ve been in, they have cancelled room service and hot breakfast. Any breakfast has been a brown bag with a piece of fruit, a muffin, and a small bottle of water. If they offer anything. This is probably bc they don’t let workers come in guests’ rooms when they are there, not even housekeeping. I’ve been told at every hotel that I can call for towels but I wouldn’t get housekeeping during my stay. Edited February 7, 2021 by scruffy73 Added info 2 1 Link to comment

I wanted to post about her figetiness from the begining but I thought I would be shut down, there is something going on with either her lack of or too much medication using booze and the need to be out being wild and crazy. He may hold her hair back while she pukes and help her thru her hangovers but how long will Erik stick around, that sort of stuff gets old fast. Will Erik ask why her last relationship ended and will the answer be the constant need to drink? On the subject of Paige, I think Ble$$ed's parents know he his no prize but she played her hand too soon with them...she should have painted a rosy picture and given the situation enough time to let Chris be in an awkward position of trying to explain things, Paige should put the owness on him, we have seen him fake cry and get sympathy which he has not earned from just being an asshole. 1 Link to comment

I think this is what Paige is doing and I would rather she 'own up' and admit that she just wanted to be married so signed up for this show/"social experiment" rather than continue with "God ordained this marriage." The other thing is accepting what someone says while their actions say otherwise. Paige is clinging to "Chris is a God-fearing man" while his actions show that he does what he wants while mouthing words that do not necessarily manifest themselves in his life. I did not think it possible for me to like Chris less than I did after last week's episode, but I was wrong. I am irate at the "experts" and at Dr. Pepper stating on unfiltered that she still believed that Chris was a catch. Chris is so very self-centered that everything is about him and his feelings while he care not one iota about Paige and her feelings. His double standard is also way out there for all to see. Chris has joined that rarified elite group that Luke and Amber's husband created (the I am not attracted to my wife but will have sex with her club). I hope that all of the investors in his Subway franchise start to realize just whom they invested in and realize that there are people out there who would really work hard and be grateful for such an investment. Jacob's humor is starting to come out and while I like his type of humor, I have doubts that Haley does. The way that Virginia talks about how drinking will always be a part of her life really does concern me. However, if she feels loved and accepted by Eric, maybe she will start becoming less dependent on alcohol to make her feel secure. And finally (at least for this post), good job "experts" (this is written while dripped many times in the sarcasm sauce): Eric wants children, Virginia does not Ryan is religious while Clara rejects "organized" religion Chris' engagement was only ended about 2-3 months prior to the weddings And these are just the types of matches that have recurred throughout the series. Just last season was the mismatch with Olivia (no children) and Brett (children) which was the basis of their mutual loathing. When will the producers/"experts" realize that we all can see the mis-matches of the most fundamental values people hold. I My post just disappeared into thin air. WTF? Link to comment
