S14.E09: Is Love on the Table?

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

Still new to their marriages to strangers, the spouses explore deeper feelings.  As they dig into each other's past loves, some couples seize the opportunity to get closer, while others teeter on the edge of heartbreak.

Airs Wednesday, March 2, at 8:00PM EST.

[Auntie Anxiety]

If one of the remaining couples had any business sense, they’d realize that they could up their price to stay on the show now that it’s down one couple (Alyssa-Chris).

[JenE4]

Not even a picnic at the end of the park scavenger hunt? Nevermind. I just remembered what happened last time Noi tried to cook.

[candall]

Two weeks?  I feel I've been following these goofy people in real time.

 

Am I the only one who thinks Noi had nothing to do with putting that treasure hunt together?

[Auntie Anxiety]

Lindsay dialed it all the way up to 11.

[Mindthinkr]

Were Mark and Lindsay even eating the same meal? Maybe it was take out dressed up on a plate.

Yes. Even to the point of the producer writing the clues which Noi was told to write by hand.

I gotta say, I’m already missing Alyssa. She was such an easy snark target.

Mark, have some food with your salt and pepper.

I feel Lindsey is asking good questions. What does Mark like about her? It feels like all these couples have been married months instead of just two weeks.

They are already becoming exhausting and have lost their fun factor.

Yikes. To my taste so much food is over seasoned…especially take out. Did he even taste it before picking up the shaker? 
 

Lindsay at least is expressing how she feels without being overly emotional…so far. Mark does seem to be trying. Bet they are regretting that first night sex. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

I must have zoned out or gone off channel because I have absolutely no idea what MTS and Lindsay said.

I’m in love with Feeney. One of the few pluses in this dreck.

It’s getting easier to tune her out.

Yes.  Watching these people whine and snipe at each other has grown too tedious.  They're making me feel cranky instead of entertained.

I was excited about live snarking this show, but now I'm wondering how many tv hours they're going to squeeze out of the remaining five weeks?

I think I may need to switch to "record & fast-forward" mode.

[Straycat80]

Oh so cute Michael is being nice to Mr. Feeney. I wish they would move past that one time Jasmina didn’t like the way Michael spoke to her. 

[Crashcourse]

Wow, I forgot this was even on, just tuned in to see Jasmina and Michael at the picnic.  Jasmina is a bitch.

[JenE4]

Mark has spent too much time around Chris with that 1% means we have something to grow on business. We saw how well that worked out for him.

Mike is trying to win over his new step-dog. Cute.

Okay, so the theme of this episode is let’s communicate about how poorly we communicate. None of this is going to go well.

***small voice*** I might be missing Ice only because she was such good snark and kept this moving instead of tick tock. 

[candall]

Oh, man.  "What is the definition of a 'wife' to you?"

Way to pick a fight, Olajuwon.

 

She just said, "Thanks for helping me with a kitchen task" and he was suddenly 0 to 60 about how she wasn't putting forth sufficient effort.  Sigh.  Eyeroll.  Reel it back in, O.

Edited March 3, 2022 by candall

[Auntie Anxiety]

So is this Olajuwon treating Katina like a queen? Or even better, yet another of his tests? Hey Olajuwon, the 50’s called and it wants your ideas of marriage back.

Edited March 3, 2022 by Auntie Anxiety

[JenE4]

I’m confused. Does Katina think splitting chores 50/50 means that we each do half of the same chore?!? Or did she sweep half the floor and was like, it’s late; let’s go to bed and do this tomorrow?

[Mr. Miner]

Oh no! Mark just took a newspaper into the bathroom. 😷

I think she wanted to go to bed and he wanted everything pristine before going to sleep. 

[Straycat80]

Katina is having a hard time living with someone after being alone for so long. And O has very high standards for his wife. It’s like he wants a cook and a maid and if he helps he wants it to be his way only. Katina or O could have said I’m tired, let’s go to bed and clean up together in the morning. 

[Mindthinkr]

Wow. Steve’s eyes really lit up when he was watching Noi drink thru the straw 🤣

[kristen111]

These three couples so far .. I don’t even know what they are talking about with their marriages.  All I know is you have to be in love to get married.  There has to be some foundation in the start to get through all these annoyances they all are having.  Don’t get married before you know if you like the person and their quirks first.

 

 

 

 

 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Stop saying LIKE!! I cannot stand it.

[Crashcourse]

I'm sorry but I cannot stand Katina's voice.  Makes me want to gnaw on my left foot.

[Mindthinkr]

Noi really expects a lot out of Steve. Exactly what does she plan to give him in return other than three children? I was willing to give her a chance, but she does seem self centered or spoiled. 

[candall]

Which couple hasn't consummated the marriage yet?  Is that Katina and Olajuwon?

Will there be a Very Special two-hour three-hour episode to cover that event and the ensuing pillow talk?

Wouldn’t be easier to just count the ones that have? I thought it was just Lindsay and MTS. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Olajuwon: Don’t let anyone tell you how to feel. Now stop being so worried.

[Mr. Miner]

What does Katina need from her huzzbind?

[candall]

Oh!  Really?  I think they've all done the deed.  Isn't that why Pastor Cal was giving Katina and O. a little nudge in the conjugal direction?  "You're married!  Get down and boogie already!"

[JenE4]

The way O is always “testing” Katina, part of me thinks he’s saying love is not on the table etc in attempts to get her to let her walls down and cry “like a human.”

[Straycat80]

Yeah, and then telling her she’s not human if she doesn’t cry. I’m getting red flags with O, he’s condescending and talking down to Katina.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Just now, Mr. Miner said:

Olajuwon couldn’t care less, since it’s all about him.

[Mr. Miner]

Steve is suppose to say “I love you!” after the noodle debacle?

[Auntie Anxiety]

Jasmina has a functioning bullshit detector.

[Crashcourse]

Yet she fails to acknowledge when she's full of bullshit.  Has she even smiled since the wedding day?  She always has this accusatory look on her face.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Mark is supposedly a shark? Okay.

[Straycat80]

They need to keep pets out of these shots. When Jasmina and Mike were talking, I  thought Mr. Feeney was more interesting, same with Mark and Lindsey, I was looking at the calico cat. Sorry, I like animals, sometimes more than people. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Lindsay, day drinking once again. 

[candall]

Oh, FFS, Mark-the-Shark.  Just force yourself to squeeze out a compliment every few hours.

I go back and forth on Mark and Lindsey, but right now I feel that Lindsey is being very open about what she needs.  Please just say something nice to me every now and then.

[Crashcourse]

Lindsey looks like she's about to fall off the chair.

[Kiss my mutt]

This episode is not giving me much hope for these couples. They all seem pretty  miserable. Lindsey is pretty fairly subdued, she looks done.

Day drinking =nighttime stupid thinking 

[Mr. Miner]

I feel like I’ve been shot with a tranquilizer dart when Mike and Jasmina come on.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Suddenly we see Alyssa stalking the halls of the salon, looking for her BFFs.

So this is a cross between dodge ball and paint ball? 

[Kiss my mutt]

Am I the only one that would much rather do archery than get a pedicure?

Meet you at the range. 
 

Bonus points if it has axe throwing. I’ve never tried it, but would like to. For your own safety don’t stand anywhere near me 😅

WOW!  Something interesting has happened in this show!  I've never seen this archery game before.
