S14.E08: Striking a Balance

[Straycat80]

This does not bode well for Noi and Steve. She should not have posted that SM. All over overcooked noodles. I think she’s starting to go Alyssa on Steve. Having second thoughts.  Too bad, I had hopes for them.

But doesn’t someone with Celiac not eat noodles, ever? I don’t understand what happened…each were cooking their own noodles and  Steve complained she let them overcook? Is that not what happened? Bizarre!! Noodles, people, noodles.

She offered to cook supper.  Didn’t put his noodles in so they’d be done at the same time as hers, and  then overcooked his.

He does eat them. The difference is that his were gluten free so he wouldn’t have an intestinal upset. Hers were regular noodles with gluten. 
Evidently she didn’t understand the difference between the two.

I’m a dinosaur and never understood why people think they have to put every fucking nuance and detail and feeling that they have on social media.

Looks like there’s trouble in paradise. Noi isn’t mad about the noodles. She’s pissed about Steve not having a job and him making fun if her desire for three kids.

Yeah, noodlegate would be something a couple in sync would laugh about.   It's about the job and the kids.

Ecidently she didn’t understand the difference between the two. 

Ah, gotcha…I missed that was the reason for separate noodles.  But still, who is running out the door for over or under cooked pasta?!

[spunky]

Noi is most likely frustrated by Steve deciding he doesn't want a job even though he has a network to tap into. She used the noodles as an excuse for her anger.

[Straycat80]

Why would they keep incorporating Alyssa and Chris into the group? They are done, just let Alyssa move to Texas and let Chris move on.

What kind of bowling is this? 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Candle pin bowling! Gotta love Boston.

No, Texas doesn’t want her!!!

@CSunshine76 On behalf of this forum I’m offering you our sympathy about Ice moving to Texas. 

[Crashcourse]

Shut the fuck up Lindsey.

[Mindthinkr]

Ice just walked in. Suddenly the bowling pins aren’t the only thing going down. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

What? Both Chris and ACNE ACE are in attendance. How uncomfortable for everyone.

Luckily it’s a big ass state.  But moving ain’t gonna solve that girl’s problems!

[Mindthinkr]

Chris telling them what happened with PC’s visit **crickets** 

[Mr. Miner]

God damn! What a blow Texas has been dealt!

[Kiss my mutt]

Wouldn’t you need to use two pots to be on the safe side? 
Is Noi 14? Vaguebooking and posting crap on SM over noodles? I know it’s likely seeped in unemployment sauce but I have no time for adults that do this especially your partner. 
He explained why it wasn’t appropriate very well. I think she’s an immature spoiled princess who needs everything her way. 
 

There goes Alyssa with the fake tears while everyone is giving her stink eye. Just don’t. 

[Mindthinkr]

Lindsey does not like Ice. She’s got her number. 

[Straycat80]

Katina hates Lyndsey no matter what she does or says. I’m glad O sees thru Alyssa and her lies. And she can GTFO with the fake tears.

I would. 

[Crashcourse]

If Ace thinks the cowboys in Texas will be dying to meet her, she'll be sadly mistaken. 

[candall]

Small point, but it's High Maintenance Noi who requires gluten-free noodles.  Steve's a regular noodle dude.

Of course.

[Kira53]

Noi is just childish. I hope Steve can get through silly conflicts.

That’s not a small point. My mistake, but I did get confused as it was going on.

I feel like I need an instant replay on noodlegate. She’s mad because he drained his noodles? I didn’t even hear him say anything. 

That was wild! She LEFT for 24 hours without word and blasting their marriage on social media because he drained his OWN noodles?! I guess she took, “These are getting soggy” as a personal affront? If you can’t handle criticism on your cooking without needing to escape from life, having three kids is probably not the best idea.

[Crashcourse]

Lindsey is a fucking loudmouthed know-it-all.  I cannot stand her.

[Mindthinkr]

I’m so glad I’m not a producer on this show. They couldn’t pay me enough. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Well, next week looks promising. Which is great because this was a snooze fest for an hour and 55 minutes. Have a great week, everyone!

[Straycat80]

Lyndsey is really on a roll, she’s drunk. But look at next week, she apparently does not go back to south Boston. 

[mythoughtis]

So what’s the group thought on Mark and Lindsey divorcing by week 4?  They know they won’t be the first to bow out early

[spunky]

Poor Mark! No one deserves that type of disrespect.

Definitely divorce. I have no hope for the rest of the couples either. 

[Mr. Miner]

Steve’s an adventurous free spirit. 🙄

[Auntie Anxiety]

The experts are going to go 0-5 yet again. Good results.

[candall]

 

I was thinking about dropping this very slow show, but next week looks like ALL the couples want to apply for The Single Life.  That could be fun.

[Kiss my mutt]

Wait, was everything Lindsey said in the bathroom on the PA system? I think Chris and Mark should go bro it up back in PR.

I couldn’t find a forum for My Killer Body, but are these women going to board certified surgeons or do they just have really bad luck? Very few reputable surgeons will even do butt implants in the US. Sorry for the off topic. I’m just smh.

When you mentioned Steve draining his noodle(s), my mind went elsewhere.

Oh, so that's what the kids are calling it these days

I'm 12.

Oh my lord, too funny! 

[Mr. Miner]

When Alyssa was lying to her friend. My mind wandered and all I could see was her friend reaching across the table and slapping her.

[JenE4]

Wow. I knew there were regional differences with things like pizza, but who would have guessed that Boston bowling consisted of skinny pins and miniature balls?! The shoes seem to be universal.

All of Mark’s inspirational work-themed quote decals are to pump himself up to sell gym memberships?!? That’s the biggest revelation of the episode right there.

Okay, now that Chris and Alyssa told the gang, I’m assuming this is the last we’ll see of them—or are they really going to keep inviting them to “couples” events? Though it would be pretty ironic if Alyssa actually chatted with him now that the pressure is off and realized they had a lot in common after all and decided to give it a shot.

The producer’s “oh, wow” response to Lindsey screaming, “The least you can do is fucking make me cum” was spectacular. That was almost as good of a hot mic moment as Lisa screaming that Meredith fucked half of New York City on RHSLC.

It sounds like Steve has a plan for income and has some money in savings. I can understand Noi’s concerns too. Maybe if he assured her she doesn’t have to worry about money, that would put her at ease. 

Yeah I thought that too.  If he has a plan why isn't he talking about it?  I don't think he wants to share it, he just wants to do what he wants without it being a joint plan.  The fact that he's reacting defensively and not reassuring her is not a good sign either.  He keeps talking about how it "works for him", but it's not just him anymore and he doesn't seem to be getting that.  He's acting like Noi needs to accept this about him or maybe she's not for him.  I'd like to see ANY woman that would be all down with the way he's acting.  It's not even about him doing contract work, it's his attitude about it especially now that he's married.  He wants kids and yet doesn't see how his attitude doesn't work when you have a family to support.  She should pull the same crap on him and tell him she thinks maybe she needs to take some time off from work to find herself before having a family.  Let him see what it's like to have someone live off of him for a while.  I don't get the feeling he would like that.  Bad signs.....

Steve didn't have fit about the overcooked noodles, so why did Noi leave with no info on her whereabouts??

Just cook some more noodles, it can't take more than seven minutes.

This Texan says tacos, 💯!

Also, I’d like to add, Alyssa, please don’t come to Texas. We have actual nice people here, not those who say it every 5 minutes to try and make it true.

I've only been to Texas once but even I know that Texas is not going to like Alyssa.

[Rightside]

Ok, Alyssa you got back on our TVs this episode.

Now we don't need to see you and your ACE necklace until the reunion show!!!
