Quote

After meeting face-to-face, the newly engaged couples travel to Cabo San Lucas to connect and chill. A poolside encounter leads to a heated clash.

Very disappointed that Leo and Brittany got dropped. That would be good drama to watch.

the other 6 couples are a bit boring/suited. Though  Hannah does not seem happy with nick.  He seems fine to me. But she wants some beefy man. 
hopefully episode 6 and all meet up is more interesting. Though no “I nearly picked you” in these couples?

Seconded. 

Since he played football I think Hannah was hoping for a Travis Kelce type. She wants somebody who makes her look small. It didn't help that he asked her if she would consider plastic surgery if he had the money for it.

I was actually a bit confused by this. He said he was a kicker, not a tight end or a lineman. Kickers aren’t necessarily the tallest, the heaviest or the most muscular players on the team. I think she let her imagination get away from her.

Hannah & Nick got to meet.  Hannah was obviously not happy with what she saw.  She really did have the idea he was going to be a big beefy football player.  Nick is not short.  Even with her heels he was still not shorter than her.  But she was definitely rethinking her choice.

Brittany & Leo got to meet.  I did not think Brittany was happy.  Leo gets more annoying the longer he is on the show.  It is probably good for him that he got dropped from the Mexico trip.  But I was disappointed we didn't get to see Hannah and Leo meet.  I did read a clip from an interview that said the show could only follow up to 6 couples.  They had to drop some of them.  They did not think Leo & Brittany would be a successful couple.  They were right because they broke up.  

Marissa & Ramses met.  They seem like a really good couple.

The producers made the right choice.  The show is now a victim of its success, where the men and women are trying to get cast and matched for fame and fun vs. participating in the so-called experiment.  Leo could not have been more obvious in his desperation to propose to someone, anyone, in order to get featured and go to Mexico.  And Brittany said yes to a proposal from a guy she so clearly didn’t like or even “connect” with.  It was so obvious.  I’m glad they were dropped.

Given how much screen time they dedicated to Leo and Brittany, I suspect there are other reasons they were dropped.  For instance, I doubt they went on a vacation together.

Lol, I just noticed in the men’s quarters, they were playing what looked like a Connect Four game, but instead of being primary-color plastic, the frame was metallic gold to match the goblets.

She is quite something. She asked Leo what he loves about her, and IIRC, after he said a few things, she wanted him to name even more. Yet when he asked her what she loved about him, she came up with nothing, then she said something about feeling pressured, and then finally she came up with something that was situational about something he had done/said but wasn't anything actually about him as a person. Once I saw that, I knew they were doomed. Also, another bad sign was that she said yes to an engagement, but wasn't ready to say "I love you" to him? And then what the hell was wrong with him that he said he would accept it if she never said it?!

Wow. It surprised me how obvious it was that Hannah was NOT happy meeting Nick face to face. 
 

Nick didn’t look happy either. But he really tried not to show his disappointment. 
 

I’m confused. Hannah kept insisting in the pods that guys only dated her because she was “hot,” not for her great personality. But in my opinion, she actually does not think that she is “hot.”
