S14.E09: Is Love on the Table?

[buttersister]

RUN, Katina! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

The more Olajuwon talks, the deeper the hole he digs for himself. What a tool.

[Straycat80]

I’d rather pay archery than get a mani/pedi too. That looked fun! 
O is checking out. 

[candall]

A+ for honesty, at last.

If it weren't for the show, this chick would be a dot in my rear view mirror.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I googled the archery place. They have leagues!

[JenE4]

Talk about inner child coming out. We just saw a bunch of 10-year-old boys living their best lives with that archery version of paintball. Hilarious. Ok, now on to the inner child trauma part… Olajuwon is contemplating ending his marriage because she doesn’t clean before bed?! I feel like they should have him watch clips of all of the rest of these dysfunctional couples having drag-out fights. You two are the “best” ones if he would just let up on the old-fashioned housewife stuff. Katina is even trying here to cook and clean—not fighting him on it, like every other one of these women would. He doesn’t realize how lucky he has it.

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. 

I don’t think Jasmina is for marriage to anyone.  She doesn’t look like a happy person in general.

[Mindthinkr]

The “experts” should have found Olaj one of those Christian wives (think Duggar like) who would be all so happy to cook, clean and treat him like a king. This is their fault. Not Katina’s. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Seems like this show has been going on for hours now. It’s a slog.

Very true. I was already tired, and have an early day tomorrow. I had hoped this might pep me up, but I’m sadly mistaken. My eyes want to close. 

[Katie111]

Is it bad that I miss Alyssa and Chris?  There is no energy left on this show.  Jasmina looks bored to tears, or mad, not sure which.  I can’t stand Noi’s voice.  Lindsay just says the same things over and over.  I like Katina but she is boring me too. 

[Mindthinkr]

Wow. That is some sushi boat!

It is a slog!  There is not nearly enough interesting content for them to string out their two-hour show for a hundred and forty weeks.  It makes me mad at them for being arrogant enough to think there is.

Harrumph.

[Crashcourse]

Lindsey even sits at the table like a drunk.

[Straycat80]

Put a pound of salt and pepper on the sushi Mark, you might like it better.

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

Same with Lindsey who speaks like a man.

[Mindthinkr]

Did someone hand MTS a script on what to say to Linds?   

[spunky]

Olajuwon seems like he subscribes to the toxicity that is Kevin Samuels.

[candall]

Yikes.  I've introduced a lot of people to sushi and you start with things like California roll and Philadelphia roll--COOKED, familiar things, not raw sashimi. 

I'm sliding some points from Lindsey's side to Mark's side.  He was a pretty good sport.  And also didn't get the appreciation I think he earned for trying to please her.

Oh, man, this show is boring.  Look, I've made a sushi rant.

[Auntie Anxiety]

This is reminding me of an Intervention segment, the addict’s childhood.

[Straycat80]

This is so boring and depressing. I’d rather see what the dogs and cats are doing. I hate to admit it but I kinda miss Alyssa and Chris.

I'm a bad person.  I would FF through this.

[Mindthinkr]

This is not helping sleep deprived me.  What part of this show is supposed to be entertaining?

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

Maybe she wants Mark to know she’s not happy, therefore perking him up.

[mythoughtis]

I don’t like watching Michael having to talk about his brother’s death.  I did like  Jasmine scooting  over to him to let him know he was heard and she had sympathy for him. I haven’t watched every minute of every episode but I was very surprised by her action there.

[JenE4]

Wow. Jasmina actually smiled and had fun and showed empathy toward Michael!! Will wonders never cease?!

[kristen111]

Why take Mark for sushi when you know he hates it.   Go with your girlfriends.  What is she trying to prove?

[candall]

Does the Jimmy Dean sausage demographic really want a healthy egg white only version?

You would have been able to see her scootch over to him while you were fast-forwarding.

I’ll tell you what is going to make me quit this show. It’s all those graphic commercials for My Killer Body. If I wanted to see that stuff I’d watch that show, but I’m not. Please leave the images to the show itself.

I think these dinners, scavenger hunts, outings, and Jasmina’s Jym are all producer and production crew created for what they think will be entertaining to us viewers.

Definitely. Plus they had to take factor in the Covid situation (in MA, there were a lot of rules).

[Mindthinkr]

Watching Steve and Noi is like watching a clock pendulum. One week I like them together and think they’ll make it and the next I don’t. 
After this beach scene it appears they are on again. 

[Straycat80]

Noi and Steve love each other, that’s good I guess. Now don’t eff up his noodles Noi. 

[candall]

Well, one of my dogs has assured me that he will pee in the bedroom unless I take him out now, and not ten minutes from now, when the show is over.

New season of LAL starting Friday.  I guess that's going to be my Live Chat jam from now on.  See you there, snarkies.

I’m hating this whole show tonight.  It WAS my favorite show.  You are right that it’s probably producer driven.

[JenE4]

Noi says that she typically needs a day away from boyfriends to recharge but hasn’t felt that way with him…except for when she disappeared for 24 hours. She’s also been waiting so long for Steve to say I love you—three whole weeks!!

I think Mark has done the math. He's going to get through the rest of this hot mess in one piece. Then? It's peace out. I second.

[Kiss my mutt]

Sal-mon lol

 

[JenE4]

O pronounces the L in salmon—a hard L at that: sahLman.

[Racj82]

I love it. I know there is a section of fans who watch this show that constantly mad about the drama. "We don't tune in for that!" Why can't we just see happy couples or people loving their lives. 

Because then you get this. Now, the show is a slog. 

This is why we get the Alyssa and Chris of the world on the show. Semi functional and/or happy couples don't make riveting tv.

If these people can't bring the drama, shrink this shit down for an hour.

The archery was fun though.

[kristen111]

OMG .. I can just see my husband doing all this stupid stuff.  He’d be out the door in two seconds flat.  Jasmina is one big sourpuss and a pain.  

[Crashcourse]

I'm sick of O and his wife wife wife wifey wife shit.  

[Kiss my mutt]

I think there’ll be drama when she smacks Olajuwon across the head like she needs to. Who is this fuck?

[mythoughtis]

O has a whole lot of requirements.  What does he offer her?  Does he meet her requirements 

[Straycat80]

O continues to dig himself into a deeper hole. He just had to ruin this nice dinner with the coconut shrimp and saLmon. Run Katina run! 
And he made her cry, maybe he’ll think she’s human now. Personally I’d have smacked him upside his head.

[buttersister]

"She put effort into my housewarming." "Is she a fast learner?" "I have to keep you grounded." 

Go fuck yourself, Olajuwon.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Olajuwon is such an asshole.

[Racj82]

O is out here Wilding.

He's basically like what you going to do for me? Cook, clean, what?

What the fuck are you going to do?

You got a wife. Not a housekeeper.

[mythoughtis]

He’s talking to her like she’s his daughter, not a wife
