Retired at last Wednesday at 03:30 PM Share Wednesday at 03:30 PM (edited) Well, that was 3 hours I will never get back! 3 hours!!!! And I even stayed awake and saw the whole thing. None of the interesting things they have shown in "previews" were presented. The interactions were incredibly boring and the same. Every week, Michelle seems to get it that she has issues and then she is still the same. I did notice how different she is from the wedding video. She was outgoing and happy then. She is just miserable now. Here's a thought - let these people work individually with Dr. Pepper BEFORE they are matched since they are all pretty broken and seem to be shocked when Pepper shows them what has happened in their past that is screwing up this relationship. The problem is that they are so broken and unlikable that I really don't care about them (Michelle and Madison, specifically). The next three weeks is not sufficient time for these people to heal themselves enough to be able to work on a real relationship. On Afterparty, I usually hate it when they have a special guest from some fan podcast, but I really liked Joe. He was articulate, empathetic, kind, and offered great insights to Michelle, Allen, Ikechi, and Emem. I would love to see him again. I guess his wife will be the guest next week. I was happy to have him speak for us, the viewers and fans. I am happy to see that Allen is finally starting to get it that he is not with a woman who cares about him as a partner. He agrees that he is in the friend zone, so now he needs to move on. I kind of liked seeing Juan try to mentor Karla, who is totally clueless. She is not a business person and needs a man with a bankroll to let her play with her toys. If she was such a great Pilates instructor, why didn't SHE teach the session with Juan? Maybe NEXT week, we will get to something interesting? Or not. ETA - I am not a big fan of Emem, but what is she doing, taking that jerk back and subjecting herself to more mistreatment? I DID like how Pia and Cal made them realize their differences in that he is "artsy" and FEELS things and she is "science" and has to KNOW things, which is why she needs answers to her questions. They very succinctly pinpointed the differences. 1) then why were they matched without this insight, and 2)do either of them care enough to try to change?

seacliffsal Wednesday at 06:56 PM Share Wednesday at 06:56 PM In all my years of watching this show and commenting on it, I have never stated anything similar to what I'm going to say now: I actually think the 'experts' gave some good advice this episode. I know, right? I can't believe it either! However (see, you knew there would be some kind of disclaimer) I think they should have just ended some of these marriages during the episode. I think Madison would look so much better without the extensions. Her real hair/length is very obvious so it just makes the extensions stand out even more to me. I think she was surprised that Allen isn't buying her act any more (I.e. he's the one who has to change everything and even then she won't give him the time of day). David may not have any savings, but I would love to hear if Michelle does. So, she has a stylist (who is also her 'friend')? That costs money. She may not actually be much better off than David (spends on her apartment, clothes, etc.). 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8555236
Retired at last Wednesday at 07:39 PM Share Wednesday at 07:39 PM I agree that some of the advice from the experts was good, however, they should never have pushed Ick-man to try to work things out with Emem. And after they said it would never work if they didn't live together, rather than see if Ick made a move, Emem jumped right in and asked him to move back in with her - again, being what she knows he thinks of as aggressive. I still don't get what she wants with him, other than she made a commitment and she won't let it go until the end. Madison is clearly a party girl and either wants a partying husband, or she is not ready to be married. She reminds me of that Virginia who used to stay out all night at her friend's house until Cal read her the riot act. She was quite a bit younger than her husband, Eric the pilot, too. Still not really caring for Camille, either. I want to see HER make a compromise for him, instead of just changing Tom. He is a wiling participant, but it just looks to be one-way. I am actually enjoying Juan and Karla the most because they are harmless and she is a flake. I would love to see her notes she took when he was trying to help her with a business plan.

I'm completely opposite to her (much more businesslike like Juan) but I can also see Karla succeeding despite being such a ditz if Juan is able to help her with the more germane stuff. There's lots of room in this world for people who are airy/fairy and march to a different drummer. Tom certainly looked good this week coming straight from work. I really like him and if he can break down those walls around Camille, they seem like they could be a good pair. The others I don't have much hope for. David is still a slob and he just doesn't fit into Michelle's world and I don't blame her for not being attracted to him although she's kind and is trying to understand him. Out of the nice outfits she picked out for him, he chose a plain old denim jacket that he could have bought at Walmart. Didn't even buy a sharp shirt to go with it. Face it, he just has no pizzazz whereas Michelle is very classy. Bad bad match by the experts. I give Allen and Madison no chance. They've been civil to each other and I think with other matches that they were even the slightest bit attracted to that they may have worked a little harder at building a relationship but these two are just not meant for each other. Neither are Ike and Emem. Let them go their separate ways. 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8556215

Madding crowd Thursday at 03:01 PM Share Thursday at 03:01 PM I agree-I don’t like Juan. I think he is cold and condescending. Karla is flaky but he talks to her like she is a child. I was surprised to see Emem take Ikechi back-why does she want to keep trying with him? He never seems light hearted or fun, it would be all serious all the time. I really like Thomas and hope Camille can grow to appreciate him as he is. I don’t like Michelle or Madison and they both feel superior to their spouses. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8556320
Retired at last Thursday at 04:16 PM Share Thursday at 04:16 PM I agree that Juan is just humoring Karla. He doesn't want to be anywhere around her, once this is over. But, at least he gets to show his business acumen and expertise. She has NO IDEA what he does, but he does, "a lot of things and he types on his laptop like Thriller." When he tells her that she can do or be anything in the world, he is just playing her. Although, I have to give him credit for not sleeping with her. All along he has said that his goal was to just have fun, and now he is. I am sure that he was recruited for the show, since he seems to have no time to be in a relationship. I have seen speculation that it is Juan who gets cozy with Madison, so that might be interesting. It MIGHT be, if they would show us already!!! 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8556361

Starlight925 Thursday at 05:20 PM Share Thursday at 05:20 PM (edited) Juan's dinner "date" with Karla was more like a recruitment for a Junior Achievement project. Instead of taking David to a clothing store, Michelle should have taken him to a hair salon. Thomas gets pierced earrings so that Camille will approve of his "swag", but am I the only one who noticed that his right ear is pierced too far back? OCD me was bugged. Emem went back to Ikechi because producers probably shoved her contract in her face. Allen shouldn't have driven, ever after 1 beer. That's what Uber is for. Could have Uber'd back in the morning to pick up his car. Having said that, Madison looks like some animal I can't figure out. Weird facial proportions, plus I don't like her, so there's that.

What does he do? That was a real mess! What doesn’t Juan do? I feel like every time he talks he has a different “business.” First he told us he was in sales, so he travels a lot. Then he told us he designed an app (a meet-up/LinkedIn type app for business travelers waiting in airports??). Then the workshop was a custom carpentry business—and he actually BUILDS the cabinets (as opposed to doing sales or other types of business management that I would have assumed). He’s also a model…and maybe also did some personal training?? There might have been other jobs I missed. Basically, he does a little of everything as an “entrepreneur,” which is why he was matched with Karla who also has several jobs. But apparently instead of being similar, he does NOT bestow her with the title of entrepreneur, and this is their bone of contention because she just falls into whatever the day brings her instead of leaning into “hustle culture.” Juan very much reminds me of one of the contestants on The Ultimatum, which is another dating show on Netflix. Like Juan, every word out of her mouth was “entrepreneur” and all she cared about was building a business. I guess there is a subset of people for which just working for The Man and bringing home a steady paycheck (even if highly compensated) isn’t good enough and your worth is tied to whether or not you can call yourself an entrepreneur. Like Juan, the woman on the other show was also forcing her fiance to be an entrepreneur and open a car wash or something instead of having a desk job. And after a whole season on entrepreneur this and entrepreneur that, talking about nothing but work, and making it seem like she probably has some very important consulting business or something. It turned out this lady made and sold pasties. Yes, nipple covers. I nearly fell off my couch. Juan and she would be a match made in heaven a LinkedIn chat group. 3 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8556480

If you just heard this woman talking, though, it was so pretentious and acted like she had the business acumen that had Fortune 100 companies calling her day and night for her insights and expertise. It was just a real shock when she finally revealed at the reunion what her company actually was. If you think Juan talks about being an entrepreneur too much, man, he had nothing on this lady! 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151432-s18e11-she-saidhe-fled/#findComment-8556579

I would love to see her notes she took when he was trying to help her with a business plan. I wonder where she will go when this is over since she has no home. Karla's business plan: Why is the show trying to make Ikechi and Emem happen as a couple? He's a perpetual child. Why should she settle for someone toxic just for the sake of the show? It's not even entertaining in a train-wreck sort of way.
