S13.E09: Could this be love?

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

As our five pairs of married strangers enter their third week of marriage, one couple contemplates using the "L word" while the other four do anything they can to ignite a fire between them.

Airs Wednesday Sep 15th at 8PM EDT, at which time the topic will unlock for comments.

As usual, this is a spoiler-free topic; if it did not happen yet on the show, please do not discuss.

[Retired at last]

OK then, 20 minutes in and no comments yet? Since it is not on in AZ for 2 1/2 hours, I always read here first before deciding whether to watch. Not looking good so far!

ETA- I am trying to figure out which of these couples could be close to using the "L" word and can't even imagine any of them. Oh, I guess Rachel and Jose might think they want to say it, even though neither of them really feels it.

Michaela is totally clueless about how bad her behavior is.  Zach tries to explain to her that her bad behavior during disagreements is not acceptable and she doesn’t see the problem. It’s somehow Zachs’ fault that she is a hurricane if she doesn’t get her way.

Michaela is totally clueless about how bad her behavior is.

So is Johnny. I used to like him but he is really pissing me off lately.

[Crashcourse]

I agree with Jose about the toothpaste.  Squeeze from the bottom!

Those goats are cute.

What's Johnny's (really, Autocorrect? You thought I was going to say Johnnycake? 🙄) problem? He doesn't want Bao to take what he says seriously? Especially since he keeps talking about how he "isn't there yet" or "hasn't felt the spark"? Bao's Serious Conversation approach strikes Johnnycake as repetitive and unnecessary, but what is she supposed to do when her husband constantly complains about their marriage?

Apparently, I'm the only person in the universe who doesn't see the appeal of Goat Yoga. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't explain it but sweet Moses, those goats were adorable. I've never done goat yoga but I have bottle fed a baby goat and it was incredible. I might have enjoyed it more than feeding a baby human.

Agreed but it's great to resolve it by just having separate tubes of toothpaste.

Nope I am right there with you.  I don’t need animals during yoga 

Jose-  quit worrying about Rachel’s toothpaste. you’ve got your own.

Was that a coat Bao was wearing inside?

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd ever try goat yoga, and I've never held one, but those goats were adorable.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Michaela stares at Zack with this blank look on her face. She doesn’t understand that the cause of her hair-trigger insanity is not as important as how she reacts. And that will never change. I don’t have high hopes for these two.

[Crashcourse]

I would wrap a towel around Gil's head and jump his bones.  Then I'd leave.

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m still stuck back in Zack’s bee analogy! 
Seriously though, Jose is pissing me off with his whole “I don’t listen” so you have to tell me twice. 
I can’t believe he would be that woman with kids for four years. Thinking only of the kids, if he knows he can never accept them as his kids and doesn’t want to be a parental figure then he should have ditched long ago.

So far, this episode is a yawn. 
 

ETA: the only yoga I’d want to try is with baby goats.  That looks so fun.

I haven't seen it yet, but that reminds me of a man I spent time with who told me once that he figured that he only listened to about 30% of what I had to say. He said it so matter-of-factly that my jaw just dropped and I was speechless. I think he was a bigger jerk than Jose, though.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Johnny, you’re a grown ass man, for fuck’s sake. No mature person needs to be constantly revealing his/her emotions every five seconds or asking one’s partner, “What do you think about me?” Because he really doesn’t care how Bao feels. It’s The Johnny Show.

[pwdrpuff]

WTH am I watching?! Johnny is a bully on the edge she can’t stand one minute, to doing the dirty with the next? I must have missed a scene where he redeems himself, because that Q&A was not it. And that crap about ask me, ask me now, just to strike back at her. What a child. 

IMO, all the men this season are damaged (except the FireFighter).  That’s why you single bro!  And dude with big boob girl, wants a hot girl, but he ain’t hot at all. Also, that ain’t love after 24hrs with the chicks before.

That was one hellluva bathrobe.

I wouldn’t be able to do any yoga because I’d just want to play with the baby goats. Too cute.

[pwdrpuff]

P.s the baby goats looked bored and over their day gig, riding humans. Set them free!

Bearded Latino dude is suspect. Just come out already.

[VioletNevermind]

Uh, Myrla, that big, husky man fights fires all day and is rubbing your feet right now with his big, husky hands.  Let him eat his chocolate chip cookies in peace. 

[Straycat80]

If Gil was giving me a foot rub I certainly wouldn’t  be on my phone. And then she doesn’t even appreciate it! 

[Crashcourse]

All of these couples are boring.  None of them are fun.

[spunky]

Really Myrla!? Gil is trying to be romantic stop being rude.  Rachel needs to run in the opposite direction of Jose.

I think Zach is WAY too intense and totally out of control and I think she was clueless to how strange he can be.

I agree Zach is intense but I think it's because she has scared the shit out of him.

[endure]

Oh now Zach wants to do anything to make it work I thought he was stung and done?  I give up! (don't know how I got italics lol)

 

OMG these guys..... looking at you now Johnny...they think way too much about = themselves!

MAF US is the worst of the bunch. They should take notes from Australia and NZ, and maybe even GB.

Bao and Johnny definitely ‘ consummated the marriage’.

That just zoomed right over my head.

Well, at least Bao and Johnny had fun.  I guess.

[VioletNevermind]

I really, really want Bao and Johnny to make it.  I like them as a couple and I think Johnny also will, as long as he allows himself to.  Bao needs to play a little harder to get.  

[Crashcourse]

It was nice of Jose and Rachel to host the bbq but those are some cheap paper plates.

Shut up Gil.  You are not as funny as you seem to think you are.   

Uh oh, Johnny just committed a grammar sin:  "Bao and I's relationship."

He lost me with barber Shop analogy.  Just let her know he wants a 2nd beard out of the situation.  
 

That said, epic fail to pair people with cheaters or those with criminal records. 

[Crashcourse]

Gil giving advice to Brett and he can't even get a fucking kiss from his wife. 🙄

[Straycat80]

Gil shouldn’t be giving relationship advice when he hasn’t been able to get Myrla to kiss him after 18 days!

I haven't seen MAFS in those other countries but would love to, not sure they're available here (Canada) where do you watch them?  Do you have a cc powderpuff dog? 

[Cancun]

Myrla saying it was nice to be invited to Jose’s house but she wouldn’t ever come back “because as an introvert, she doesn’t go to peoples’ houses.”  That was such an odd peek into how she is wired. (And I’m an introvert, so I feel like of all people, I would understand if I could.) And then she had to add the barb about the house being in the middle of nowhere. Not a good look. Dang, my appreciation for her had been growing but ugh!

These guys are all so confusing they say one thing then totally contradict themselves.  The quiet emotionless guy said earlier he falls in love fast then he says he takes too long?

[mythoughtis]

Michaela can’t even boil water?  And she had no clue about how much seasoning  is too much?  
 

What is the eat standing up thing?

I think she might learn, I didn't really get into cooking until I had someone to cook for.

Zach is as wreck IMHO, and he runs hot and cold in a flash.....whoooosh!  These guys are in their heads way too much, maybe they should focus on sex ha ha

I side load Kodi & unlock my tv on my Firestick. Also, try dailymotion. GTS!

I really think Marla’s hang up with Gil, is that she not attracted to the bald head I guess.  Girl is just not feeling it now, and will probably will never feel it.

[Jeanne222]

So hate me if you must but goats smell bad and those baby goats had some really creepy eyes!

Johnny barely got two bites in before she started!  That Salmon looked good too!

Gil…it’s over…actually it never really started. 

Jose just shut up and listen. Yes she cheated but if you couldn’t get over two little kids after four years…you’ll never get over cheating. 

Ryan yo!  Look at her boobs, look at her boobs and you’ll fall in love!

Or have each one have their own toothpaste and squeeze however they want!   Are they doing that now?  And is each using their own tube of toothpaste? If so, Jose needs to chill out, big time.

Can you even begin to imagine living with Jose in 15 years when he becomes ‘set in his ways’!

He’s impossible right now!

EXACTLY.   I hate the way she gets furious and screams and rants. Just because that's the way she is, doesn't mean that it's good. I have a feeling that's why she hasn't married so far. I don't think most guys would like it.  I imagine her breakups have had to do with too many ugly fights.

He’s a total queen. There ain’t anything wrong being gay, but for Hispanics, it’s a dirty word.

Unbelievable!  Truth be told, I don't think anyone should be giving relationship advice, because none of them has an ideal situation.  

[LennieBriscoe]

Jose and the baby goat wipes away anything negative  about him (even the toothpaste tube weirdness).

I've decided I can't stand Johnny and his "spark" talk. 

Brett, girl, hear me out: It's the guy who should be writing 100 cards of what he likes about you.
