S14.E14: It's Just a Blip

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

With just two weeks left until Decision Day, the four couples head to Vermont for a last romantic getaway; despite sound baths, adventure parks, and fun with alpacas, not everything is fun and games, especially when one person ends up in urgent care.

Air date: April 13, 2022 at 8:00PM EDT.

Please keep discussion to topics mentioned on THIS episode. 

[Straycat80]

Steve is not going to let go of that post Noi posted on SM. Zzzzzz.

[Crashcourse]

Olaj with this cooking shit again.   Why is he so obsessed with cooking?

[JenE4]

The video editing department got a new graphics tool. The pinwheel of Noi and Steve fighting nonstop from Boston MA to Peru VT? *chef’s kiss* The three staggered boxes as people enter doors and hot tubs? Too much.

[Retired at last]

Keep the comments coming - even with just the few that are here, it is looking like it is not a show I need to see when it is on in three hours. Thanks!

[Cancun]

Lindsey’s swim suit is reason enough to tune in. Where does that woman shop??

[Mr. Miner]

Steve is a adventurous free spirit dork! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mark’s never had pasta before.

Was Olajuwon the kitchen manager? He just sat there while the other men did all the work. What does he participate in other than the misogyny olympics?

Like many of my fellow millennials Noi will learn a very hard lesson about putting everything on social media.

Mark isn’t either a touchy feely guy or he really can’t stand Lyndsay.

Cooking is a wife's job. 😛

Thinking both! 😉

[Kiss my mutt]

Lindsey’s eyelashes don’t look as good as she thinks they do. 

[mythoughtis]

Olajuwon  and the effort thing again.  What effort does he put in? 
 

Steve- you’ve talked the social media thing to death.  Noi has no intention of changing

This fucker Olajuwon really had merchandise made of the bullshit he says to Katina. I can't with this dude.

[LennieBriscoe]

Noi in the car ride was super-childish about her SM posts. 

[Crashcourse]

So Katina has to do "lessons" for Olajuwon and he's pleased that she passes his "tests," but what has he done for her?  Katina should just shut his ass down until Decision Day.

I'm sure it's the latter.

He is also never going to match her energy.

[JenE4]

“We’re walking kazeebos.” I’m literally cry-laughing. 🤣 That kazeebo just had a baby! That farmer wasn’t lying! No one was prepared for the falling placenta! What’s the baby of a kazeebo called? Im guessing kazeebop.

[Racj82]

What does O want? He really doesn't want to anything if it's not on his terms. Compromise is not a word he ever learned. 

[Crashcourse]

So Olajuwon is giving Katina a timeline to have a child?

FUCK! HIM!

[Straycat80]

Olajuwon is so stuck on himself. So if they have a baby he wants Katina to take care of it, plus have a career and he wants to travel 2-3 times a month. Run Katina.

Olajuwon didn’t remember what the alpacas were called and called them “kazeebos.”

Okay, I missed this. What?!

[kristen111]

Here we go again.  Lindsey .. Mark is just not into you, so stop being annoying and face the facts.  Her laugh is annoying too and is fake.  Most men would love to be woken up by their wife, but not Mike as he’s not interested.  As a last resort, why don’t you try and play hard to get and just be nice .. leave him alone and stop with the poking and trying to be funny.  ( I meant Mark up there).

Look at his shirt while they are out together.

Well, this just shows me that I can't  watch and read and post, because  I obviously miss too much in the watching!

So it’s okay for her to be insulting to him all the time.  He accurately refers to her as hyper and she is crushed?

He probably would if he loved the person.

[mythoughtis]

Does Olajuwon understand that a baby is for life… and two trips a month isn’t going to happen? i do understand his point about Katina finishing school and immediately having a baby as she’s trying to establish a career.  I just think he doesn’t want kids

Michael and Jasmina are so depressing, I feel like curling up in a ball in a corner and sucking my thumb. 

But instead, I'll just FF them. 😅

Aha! It's just that I was behind in watching my recording. 

Now I'm  on the alpaca segment.  

And I see Olajuwon's shirt. Is that an expression common to him? Like, people should recognize stuff he says?!

I'm going to be expecting a LOT  more from my public after today!

[Crashcourse]

I'm sorry, but this is a sorry bunch of folks.  No one is interesting.

[Racj82]

I'm sure some people will hate it but I'm enjoying the games. Everyone just having fun. 

[Cancun]

When Mark asked Lindsay to admire the first solo fire he had ever built, and she said “I’ve seen better”, I really wish he would have said “That’s rude and your comment hurt me” and stomp off. Why can’t she see how she does the same stuff she complains about him doing? She is a mess.

[kristen111]

I wonder what kind of guy is right for Jasmina.  Michael is probably not himself for fear of displeasing her.  He’s probably afraid to say and do what he wants for fear of being shut down.  She’s very intimidating.

I don't hate it and it's good they're having fun.  They just aren't interesting, at least to me.

Mark called Lindsey "hyper." It was a direct dig at her to encompass his opinion of her dinner behavior in front of the others, making her embarrassed retroactively. This comment came after his clear rejection of her advances in bed that morning. 

Lindsey commented on a fire. A thing. Not a behavior, not a character trait. 

Huge difference in content, intent, and effect.

I understand. My comment wasn't towards you. I hadn't read your post yet.

This most likely game will not be fun soon.

Lyndsey's laugh terrifies me.

Someone in a different town or state.

Fire building is a skill (which is a set of behaviors), not a thing and he was clearly proud of his skillful accomplishment. She cut him down in an attack on his self esteem, in retaliation for the morning tiff.  If a toddler draws a picture and asks his mommy if she thinks it’s good, and mommy says “I’ve seen better” - that’s ok because a picture is a thing?

[Kiss my mutt]

Lindsey could benefit from intensive inpatient therapy. She’s not in a good place nor has ever been there. Bitch, yes, you care what people think, or that game wouldn’t have bothered you. 
P.S. That cat litter commercial had me cracking up. Much more entertaining than this show.

I knew this game would go off the rails with Lyndsay. Plus she’s drunk which makes her more combative and defensive. Even her own husband didn’t stick up for her.

Almost everything about Lyndsey is unappealing to me.

Her laugh, her over the top energy, the way she dresses, she looks like she smells weird, her cats (i dont like pets) she's thinned skinned but likes to act like she's a bad bitch that's as tough as leather. She's the perfect example of someone that can joke with you but can't take it.

And saying to the group that she lies to her husband when she says he’s  good in bed is ok?  That’s a lot worse than him calling her hyper in private.

The jury came in.  They all don’t care for Lindsey.  It’s not just us.  It all started on the plane where Mark had to stick up for her.  He didn’t tonight.  That’s what really got her.   She can dish it, but can’t take it.

Mark and Lyndsay are done. I think in her strange way she cares for him a bit but he doesn’t care anything for her. One of them should pull the plug.

Yep. Because he doesn't want to live his life like that. He got a vision of their life together during the fight on the plane and mentally he's been out every since.

I know Mark isn't perfect. Lord knows he isn't but I don't even think we are seeing much of him as genuine spouse because he's checked out.

Olajuwon and Lyndsey's friendship gives me the side eye. 

I can't with that Steve and Noi leopard print monstrosity. Steve looks like a sleazy 80s tough guy.

Katina and those damn cat suits. Looking like she is going to fight crime.
