I hate it when guys sit with their thighs spread way way out like  Justin is sitting.   The two woman are sitting so politely with legs crossed.  I know that’s not appropriate for men, but please close the legs some

I would factor in what a man has between their legs but more importantly, the height of Justin. The height of the chairs. I'm sure it's hard for him to be comfortable period.

So, I am gathering that there was nothing interesting that happened on the show.

Those women weren't being polite sitting like that; it was their only choice if they wanted to avoid being arrested.

Not really but Lindy, Miguel and Alexis were not on this episode and they were most needed for the after show this week.

Mindy was from Season 10, the Washington DC season.

Lindy. I'm sure you knew who I was talking about. It got auto corrected. I didn't notice.

Justin looked like a string bean. I thought the ladies looked nice - for a change, no one looked like they were going to the club or going to be a bridesmaid.

Hardly a moment went by without Krysten touching her hair (stop it!).  Justin cried a bit and then admitted that he thought it could have been the end of his marriage with the arguing of the episode.  I wonder if that is a foreboding of what will happen with their marriage.  I go back and forth with whether or not Mitch and Krysten will last.  She makes a point of saying positive things about him and then will answer a question that would seem to indicate problems in paradise.  She alluded to his having to have his own way (especially related to the party) and that her friends didn't see "her" at all in the party at their apartment.  Will be interesting to see how the relationship develops.  It was also very interesting that both of the women said they had seen the 'defensive' side of Lindy prior to seeing the clip of her interaction with Miguel.

I didn't watch this, but all of this makes me think she is really just trying very hard to stay in "Team Mitch" mode for as long as possible, but over time that is going to wear on you. I feel like at this point she is doing all the compromising, and I don't think that can last forever. It's got to be draining to be constantly lectured to about the environment at every turn.

I still think that Krysten has made up her mind and is just going along for the 8 weeks, at which time it will be a NO from her. She is handling it well and in a mature manner, but she is out. He is just too hard to live with.

The after party episodes are filmed after decision day.  Even though they try really hard to pretend they are still in the 8 week period.  It seems obvious to me that Krysten  said No based on the comments she’s made on the after party episodes.

I have exactly the opposite take - and I haven't been spoiled. I think it sounds like Krysten is still married during Afterparty. And I'm not a Mitch fan, so I'm not inclined to read anything in a positive light...

No I really didn't know who you were talking about, I didn't give it that much thought.  But I get it.  That's how I feel when I think what I've said is being unnecessarily targeted and criticized.

My take is that Krysten thinks Mitch is a great guy in a lot of ways if only he didn't have these really big honking deal breakers that would drive her batshit out of her mind on a long term basis.  So I'm inclined to think she will end up friends with him but perhaps not stay married to him.  Although Mitch has shown a lot of growth and depth in the past two weeks, so anything is possible at this point.

I wondered that myself.  I'm leaning toward it being a sign that things didn't work out between him and Alexis.

I don’t particularly like either one of them so I can’t decide if I’m pulling for them to work out or pulling for them to divorce.

After last season I dont believe this anymore. I don't think people are, more often than not, biding time until the decision day. They are biding time until the reunion. I think we will get far more, let's see if we can it make work without the cameras/shocking split by the reunion angles going forward.
