In my house we all wondered if production put Mark up to saying he wanted to slow things down. I think this show keeps firming up the contracts to make them have to say what production wants them to say when they tell them to say it. Like there is a script they're sometimes told to follow. Lindsey was obviously put on the show for drama and if things are going too good between her and Mark she might not provide it so much. I have been saying this for a long time.

And though they’re both right on the one hand, they’re more egregiously wrong on the other person’s point, so I’m going to deem them both wrong in this fight. Michael gets a slight advantage at the end by acknowledging that she feels she didn’t do anything wrong, and he should accept whatever apology she gives, plus some other positive stuff—but then he says “nip it in the butt” and he loses again. They say a shark never stops swimming—but Mark the Shark is pumping the brakes. Lindsey is either all in or all out. Now she’s pulling out his bathroom habits?! What is happening?

Pretty good money, very good benefits, secure, and as you say, we need them. Very different from the UK where garbage disposal has been privatised. Local councils tender for service contracts and take the cheapest option. The average wage for a garbage man in the UK is about £20,000 (around $27,000) and they are usually on zero hours contracts (which means pretty much "at will" employment with no benefits or security). Where I live (busy suburban area) our garbage is only collected once every two weeks - and then they will only take one bin per household. As a single person, I don't find that a problem, I recycle paper, plastic, etc. and compost plant waste and so don't tend to have a full bin of other trash. But for families with babies who need to dispose of diapers, etc. or just any household of more than a couple of people, it's a problem. If the bin is full and people leave bags of trash next to their bin, they aren't taken, and then foxes rip them open and scatter the contents everywhere. I don't mind people filling up my bin once I put it out for collection. Neighbours are regularly having to take their extra trash to the dump in their cars. I admire anyone who does that kind of work. Even if Olajuwon is working in a plant, it's probably not the most pleasant job, so good for him. 2 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7273418

So it he's not a "garbage man" but it's also not a job where one needs a degree or background in engineering.

But we saw—and Lindsey told us—that she had two full bottles of champagne just in the limo between the hotel and the wedding venue! Plus however much else she had already had at the hotel—and later throughout the wedding reception! This woman drinks an inordinate amount! That’s why Mark, upon hearing they were going to a pina colada-making class immediately said let’s try to take it easy with the drinking. He’s not concerned about 3 glasses of anything—though three is a lot for me and probably for a lot of women. But we’ve seen Lindsey pounding back shocking amounts of alcohol this whole show—and her behavior changes the more she drinks. Honestly, if Mark had the conversation with Lindsey about slowing things down earlier in the day she may have better understood the point he was trying to make that they’re still getting to know each other. But he made the fatal mistake of waiting until evening and after drinks all day and at dinner, when her blood-alcohol content was probably at its highest. I think Lindsey is a functional alcoholic who doesn't think she’s an alcoholic because she doesn’t drink on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday nights. Even her body reflects her over-drinking. And she’ll let everything fly without a second thought, then blame it on the alcohol and how she was triggered. I bet that her drinking led to the breakdown of her relationship with her mother. She probably verbally abused her mom during a drunk moment, her mother was offended, told Lindsey never to speak to her like that again, get some help with the drinking problem or she (Mother Lindsey) won’t have anything to do with her. Having their honeymoon activity center around pina colodas HAD to be a producer set up. Lindsey was completely inebriated.

How is that skinny wife working out for you, Chris? 3 4 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7273828
Jeanne222 February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 Lol just reading comments about MTS and I thought that guy had a busy day! Sex three times, plugged up the toilet, fart party then broke up with his wife at the fancy dinner he arranged! He’s quite the guy! 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7273960

That was the height of bad taste and low class. If he had truly changed he would cringe to have people know that stuff. Unfortunately I don't think Katina will be put off by that, which says something about her too. Here I thought she was too classy for him. Now, after him revealing he slept with a family, I don’t know about her. She should be mortified when he speaks like that. It’s not funny. Plus, he talks too much about threesomes. She just laughs. Maybe she’s not as bright as I thought she was. 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7273991

Pretty good money, very good benefits, secure, and as you say, we need them. There have been delays in garbage pickup due to COVID and everybody notices how much we need sanitation workers then. Not everybody wants to sit in an office all day. Let me be clear here. Growing up in Queens, N.Y. , four men on the block worked and were called garbage men. Nothing wrong with that. After awhile, they were called sanitation workers. No offense. It’s a good city job with benefits and pension after twenty years. Why all the fuss?

The mini bottles are much smaller than a normal glass of wine you'd get at a restaurant. I doubt she was even drunk if she had 3 of the small bottles on the plane (although airport bar is probably the start of drinking). That’s what I was going to say. Who knows what and how much she drank before the plane. She was bombed at her wedding, because she drank several big bottles of champagne. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274053

Someone just asked what he did and I posted it. Yes, and I wasn’t making fun of “ garbage man”. That’s what they were called in my day where I lived. Years later, they were called “ sanitation workers.” Plus, what do we call the stuff we throw out everyday? GARBAGE. Who takes it away? A man.

Racj82 February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 I will say that after seeing Katina on the after party, I do think her hair being draped all over her face is a contributing factor in her not always looking her best shall we say. I maintain that the nose also plays part. But, she looked much better with her hair in braids. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274158
Elizzikra February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 Quote Who takes it away? A man. Or a lady. Quote Municipal Wastewater Operator I don't think this is the same thing as a garbage man or a sanitation engineer. I'm stuck on the wastewater piece. I think he works at a wastewater treatment plant. From my friend google, "Wastewater treatment plant and system operators remove pollutants from domestic and industrial waste. Used water, also known as wastewater, travels through sewer pipes to treatment plants where it is treated and either returned to streams, rivers, and oceans, or used for irrigation." Evidently it's a fairly in demand job that can pay well and provide a steady career. 1 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274442

If I remember correctly, wasn’t he talking to the Mother the day after the wedding, when she corrected the name Katina instead of Katrina like he said? Didn’t the Mother have long red hair? If so, wasn’t she old? He had sex with her? Or someone else’s Mother? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274455

I wouldn't be surprised if Katina who works in HR had some level of college education as well. Could be, but Jephte seems heads and tails above Olajuwon in intelligence.

Personally I think it's skeevy even if he had sex with them at different times. And I'm not so sure he's grown up all that much since then despite what he says about himself. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274497

That's a very specific thing and most psychics don't get THAT specific. They may use more general adjectives about eyes and height but tattoos? I think she liked Steve and caught a glimpse of his tattoo and then made that story up. Then she stirred the shit by telling Noi about it. She's figuratively throwing a tantrum because she didn't get what she wanted and when she saw Noi with someone better in her view and happier with her match, she tried to take her down with her. Her maturity level is an insult to toddlers. This show is about four hours long. Apparently, I missed some parts. It’s news to me about the fortune teller. First time I’m hearing about it, but Alyssa doesn’t surprise me at all. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/126081-s14e05-its-not-a-shore-thing/page/6/#findComment-7274804

So I get that she is hurt. But that was still crass and inappropriate. Lindsey revealed that on the “After Party” with Keisha. Then, I put it on the board. The After Party tells lots of things we don’t know about. Keisha gets everything out of them. It’s the After Party where Lindsey wears the off the shoulder green dress, and is sitting on the right.
