ClareWalks November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Cortney's friends are stupid for not knowing "hijinx," but even more stupid (or proof of how drunk they were? I'm trying to be generous, here) is how they repeatedly, over and over, asked him if he was saying "hygiene." He said NO, NOT HYGIENE, you dimwits. Also I'd like to know why Cortney wasn't driving in the first damn place, since she is the one who knows the area and has far more experience driving a car. Jamie is beyond shitty at this point. What a harpy. Everything Dr Pepper tells her to do, she twists around and makes it passive-aggressive and sometimes outright hostile. And what a fucking lunatic to think that having a baby will make her feel less lonely and isolated from her friends. I have a 7-month-old, and I can say confidently that even my friends who also have babies do not have time for me. Having a baby is the single most isolating activity a person can engage in, besides perhaps deciding to never bathe. Jamie thinking that her friends will come two hours to see her baby is proof of her narcissism. 11 Link to comment
crazychicken November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 OMG just when I think Jamie can't behave any worse she opens her mouth and BOOM she hits a new low. What bit of lay off the house and baby talk did she not understand, Doug is obviously pissed and she asks if he wants to look at real estate, I think that her voice is the only one she hears. Loved her boohooing about Doug not wanting to spend time with her after she moved to NJ, first it was 12 months ago plenty of time for the crybaby to go out and meet people, secondly loved Dr Pepper asking if it was recent as Jamie phased it like it had always been that way and she didn't want Doug to feel guilty about it like she was actually worried about his feelings. Still she is pushing Doug to meet her ex, no matter how many times people tell her it is a terrible idea she has to have things her way, I wish Doug would just walk he is never going to be more than her personal punching bag unless in public where he has to act like their marriage is perfect to please the princess. Courtney what can I say besides her friends are airheads, she is taking a leaf out of Jamie's book this week and upping the manipulation. 3 Link to comment
SaucyMommy November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I am starting to truly believe most of everything done on this show is production driven - except for Jamie - don't believe she is that good of an actress. I think she really, really is that broken. I don't know how she can have this amazing conversation with Dr. Pepper and take away from it - well I guess I should talk to Doug and again pressure him for a baby. I was like OMG what are you thinking. Friends will absolutely not drive that frequently to see you. And you will be way more isolated after having the baby because you pretty much never leave your dang house until they are 1! I believe that all the shit that is being drug up with Courtney and Jason is all production lead for sure. I think they probably have very few issues and so it was dug up and they had to explore all these false issues now. 6 Link to comment
tinypeanut November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 (edited) I don't know if Jamie is that damaged from her childhood or not. She reminds me of so many people who have troubled marriages and then want to buy a house or have a baby to "fix it". These things never solve the problems but create more issues. I hope Doug is using his own birth control because Jamie seems so crazy to have a child. Doesn't she know if she has a child that the focus will not longer be on her? No more full makeup picture perfect moments. If she and Doug end up separating she will be on a mission to find the next boyfriend or husband to have a child. Edited to add: This is petty. Are the ripped jeans still in style? I never see anyone wear them anymore. Also all of her short midriff tops. Edited November 18, 2015 by tinypeanut 2 Link to comment
LeonD November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Dr Pepper is the best. I'm a big fan of hers. Jamie...aahhh...she's so frustrating. She has god awful conflict resolution skills. Passive aggressive seems to be her default for some reason. I don't know what the hell she's thinking trying to get her husband to meet the guy she confessed to being in love with. Why are they even in touch? Courtney needs to just chill. Her friends are kind of morons though. She also needs to workout a bit; they used to be equally attractive, but Jason is clearly been keeping himself in shape. 4 Link to comment

There is a character on Scream Queens who went through some trauma in the 1990s and now continues to dress like she did then. That would explain a lot about Jamie's fashion. 2 Link to comment
SaucyMommy November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Jamie dresses so provocative for being such a prude. Also what is with the OVER THE TOP fakeness when she sees doug's family? 1 Link to comment
ClareWalks November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Eh, I think that sounds like an old wives tale. Jaimie just has a poor sense of style. Doug dresses like a college bro (shallow, but he'd be more attractive if he were a better dresser) and I don't think he's indicated a trauma history. Also, Jaimie, you're supposed to trim your fake eyelashes a bit before gluing them onto you face. Oh, it's not even an old wives tale, it's just a character on a dumb TV show, I thought it was a funny corollary to Jamie's aesthetic though. I don't actually mean this actually is what's happening. 1 Link to comment
okerry November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 If I hadn't seen it more than once in real life, I wouldn't believe it on a TV show - but Jamie honestly believes she can have both a husband and a boyfriend. That's what she's trying so hard to do and is desperately trying to normalize it with all this "But he's my best friend! I can't give him up!" whining. It also makes good blackmail to use against Doug, because the message I get is, "Let me have a baby or I'll go on keeping my boyfriend in my life." Jamie is so needy and empty that I'm sure she does feel she needs two men to fill the void in her soul - the husband for security and a baby, and the boyfriend for fun and emotional support. I've seen other women do this, and I've seen men do it, too. Their spouses live in hell while the double-dipper's life never gets any better and they can't ever figure out why. Eventually, everyone ends up divorced. Whether real or fake, Jamie's giving everyone a textbook example of why trying to have it both ways never, ever works, and doesn't even help the person who's trying to do it. Keep it up, Jamie, and we'll all learn something. Especially Doug. 5 Link to comment

Eventually, everyone ends up divorced. I never figured out why the heck any spouse would put up with this type of behavior. However, I think the only reason that Jamie puts up with Doug is for the paycheck and the reality show fame. Once that is gone, so is Jaimie. Doug is the type of guy that Jaimie would ditch on a blind date by having a friend give her a fake call for an "emergency". She does not love or even particularly like him and it is obvious. I think Doug does like Jaimie, but realized this long ago. He is along for the ride, even though it makes him miserable, because he needs the money, as well. Also, he probably is under the delusion that her feelings could change and they could have a real marriage. Edited November 18, 2015 by qtpye 4 Link to comment

I think Doug was genuinely emotionally invested in the relationship and he clearly loves Jamie...at leat he did, but Jamie's antics have severely tanked his desire or investment in the marriage. You don't just break up with a spouse just because they're fucking up. He's giving her and the marriage a chance to maybe get better (as every spouse should), but I don't think his motivation is the money. The dude is in a fairly high salary position. Jamie is literally sabotaging the whole thing. She doesn't really love or respect Doug, you can tell. Maybe she doesn't want to be the one to do it, so she's trying to force Doug to break up with her so she doesn't look like the bad guy. Edited November 18, 2015 by LeonD 1 Link to comment

I think Doug was having financial difficulty not too long ago. I was under the impression that he is a software salesman for his family's company and that could pay well, depending on his dedication. However, the $40k per episode they are reportedly making for this show would be hard to walk away from, no matter how well he was doing. That is $400K per season before taxes, if they have ten episodes. 1 Link to comment
Kiss my mutt November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I think Doug is just hanging on for the money and it's probably in his contract. I can't imagine he's doing that well at work. He doesn't seem like much of a go-getter who takes much agency in his life. 1 Link to comment
LeonD November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 You two have little faith in the institute of marriage. Sometimes you stick around when you know you would have left if you were just dating. It's a matter of having faith in your ability to work things out as a couple. I think Doug is a good dude. I doubt he would stay if he still didn't have faith in Jamie. Link to comment

However, my husband would never treat me the way Jaime treats Doug...that is not a real marriage. Link to comment
Adeejay November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I think Doug is a good dude. I doubt he would stay if he still didn't have faith in Jamie. Doug may very well be a good guy, however $20k per week for ten weeks is a lot of money and quite an incentive. 3 Link to comment
Tara Ariano November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 You two have little faith in the institute of marriage. This has never been a marriage; it's always been a gimmick on which a reality show was premised. They didn't choose each other -- they were thrown together as strangers, by strangers. 7 Link to comment
JapMo November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I know most would disagree, but I do really think Jamie WANTS to love Doug. She probably has never had really strong feelings for him but everyone keeps saying he's such a good guy and really loves her, so she's been waiting for the feelings to come. And because they haven't come, she creates feelings in her mind when he does something nice. Her demeanor and comments about how great Doug was for setting them up to volunteer at the dog shelter was kind of over the top, IMO. She needs to ask herself...have I given Doug and this marriage a real chance, with no outside interference or residual childhood trauma clouding it? I don't believe she had, but if she can honestly say she has and she still does not have the type of feelings you must have for a man you call your husband, then she needs to end it. And the same goes for Doug. I still, after all this time, have a bit of doubt as to what his real feelings toward her are. I would like to see these two work out...but if it's not there, it's not there. 2 Link to comment
SaucyMommy November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I said on this very board last season her about face about Doug was totally forced and over the top. She loves the idea of LOVE and wants a family so bad so will fake it to get what she wants. I don't think there is a relationship between these two when the cameras aren't on. I don't think they even talk to each other when they aren't filming. 4 Link to comment
Evil Queen November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 I have to say that I agree with alot of what is said about Jamie. Its all about her and nothing more. I thought she worked still so why is she sitting around all day claiming she is lonely? Sorry but whining your friends don't live far and that is her reason is a joke. My friend doesn't live in the same state as me that I have had for over almost 30 yrs. We talk online or text. Its not hard to keep in contact with them or go out and make new ones where you live. That whole thing drives me nuts and comes off pathetic. She comes off as no matter what goes on in her life that she will never ever be happy. As others have pointed out, having a baby will not make her happy at all in the long run. She is so into herself that there is no way she could handle the attention a baby would be getting over her. The childhood excuses are so old now. Lots of us have had issues growing up or know someone that has but get over it and move on instead of using that as the reason for our bad behavior. SMH And meeting the ex??? WTF is she thinking with pushing that? Why doesn't she go meet Doug at the gym to spend time that way before going home? Some of the part with Dr. Pepper telling him to plain stuff was a little stupid with knowing how Jamie is at this point. Doug looks worn out and just over it all alot of the times. All I know is if my husband said was buddy buddy with an ex, I wouldn't have put up with that. If this ex is in a relationship I wonder how that person with him feels about all this or if she knows. That whole thing with Cortney and Jason. I can understand to a point where she comes from on certain things but yet they got to get it together on where they want to live when they have kids. They obviously both know they don't want kids now and it will be a few years. I also agree that it feels like the show is more so trying to make them have problems come up but they get over it faster than most. I have to say that while my husband and I didn't get married like they did, he never did propose to me and I wish he had. We knew we would get married one day and it just was more a let's do it soon. That was almost 15 yrs ago. Anyway, I almost feel like the way Cortney and Jason are when they look like they might be fighting is more they are both being smartasses about things and its how they are so it works. 3 Link to comment
MsPH November 18, 2015 Share November 18, 2015 Jamie is so crazy it's getting intolerable. Once again she was hogging the spotlight at her father-in-law's birthday party and acting all overly affectionate with Doug, while he looked utterly checked out talking to his brother. I was also wondering if Jamie quit her nursing job since she has all this time to sit around and do nothing, but perhaps she works long shifts and has several days off in between. But if she keeps in contact with her "best friend" AKA ex via phone, then why can't she do the same with her girlfriends? Or are they all so happy to get rid off her finally that they ignore her calls? She's just making up things to whine about so people will feel sorry her. Doug was hurt and avoiding her so she makes it about herself again by claiming she's so lonely. She knows how to get his attention without having to actually change anything about herself. Such a manipulator. I can't believe she's still trying to get Doug and the ex to meet up. Does she seriously not get why Doug is avoiding her? Who wants to spend time with a spouse who's discussing all your marital problems with her ex? It's such a crazy situation I can't even wrap my head around it and Jamie wants to pretend it's all normal and they can all be friends. Just after telling Doug she's having romantic feelings for the ex. My mind boggles. I'm glad Jason seems open to moving to Charlotte one day. Though probably not in 2 to 3 years. This may be a bit mean, but Cortney already looks like she's pregnant. Seriously, she should step it up for Mr. December. 3 Link to comment
Adeejay November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 This may be a bit mean, but Cortney already looks like she's pregnant. Seriously, she should step it up for Mr. December. Perhaps it's because she is overweight and tends to dress rather matronly. Link to comment

absolutelyido November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 I don't know what to think of Jamie. I can believe that she is driving Doug crazy about a baby and a house, but this Ex thing seems more and more like it is made up. Now this week she says the Ex is her best friend. In the original MAFS, Jamie was very consistent in saying that she had trust issues because of her (and her mother and sister's) experiences with men, and that her prior boyfriends were emotionally abusive. Now she has this Ex that is her BFF? Really? And if he is her BFF, why didn't she invite him to the wedding? Or their housewarming party? 3 Link to comment
Chloecat November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 I looked at Doug's linked in. I am a corporate recruiter and look at profiles all the time.

Spiderella2 November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 I don't think this ring-last name thing with Courtney was an issue until she spoke to her girlfriends aka her "clique". They are probably the ones that put it in her mind as utmost important, and for Jason, it came out of left field. He had all the right responses at the lunch table but he does not want to be pressured. And I get his point...Courtney could have taken his name anytime in the last 18 months....holding it ransom for a ring and proposal is superficial. Especially since they are already married!! Duh! Did MAFS not give them a ring at the wedding? Why is she just noticing the lack of a proposal and ring now? Because her soririty clique brought it up to her? They seemed overly invested in making their pronouncement that Jason had to do it. Now I'm thinking the whole lunch thing was a setup by Courtney to manipulate Jason into giving her something else that she wants...especially since that seems the purpose of every leg of their whole vacation trip. Jason never got his day to lay out in the sun. She wants a ring to flash to her friends, and a epic proposal story to brag about also to her friends. Being in NC just showed us her small minded mentality. I get Jason's point...a downpayment for a house, a vacation, proposal, and flashy expensive ring will eat through their MAFS nest egg really quickly. He needs to have a job lined up before moving anywhere or making big financial commitments to anything like that. Although, why has he not mentioned once being a fireman anywhere else but NYC...? Every city in the US, even a tiny village has a fire department. Could he not just transfer there? I find it hilarious that very few people commented on the Neph storyline. Lol! 1 Link to comment
ClareWalks November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 I find it hilarious that very few people commented on the Neph storyline. Lol! LOL I forgot Neph existed until you wrote this! I will say I cannot believe Jasmine was so shocked that Neph suggested she try to find a job. WTF was she planning to do in NYC? It's an expensive city. Are her parents sending her money or do Neph's parents pay for everything? Plus she seemed utterly disinterested in making friends, or even in finding things to do on her own. I will give these two a month and a half, tops. 2 Link to comment
suzeecat November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 I was expecting to see some interaction with Cortney's family during their trip - I guess the family just doesn't want to get involved with this show? Housing is a lot more affordable just about anywhere outside of NYC, but they need to keep in mind that salaries are also commensurately lower. Especially since 9/11, being a NYC firefighter has a very high level of pride. I don't know how firefighting as a career works, but I wonder if Jason would have to start at the bottom of the totem pole somewhere else. Or, perhaps with his NYC background he would be considered a higher level/better prospect for recruitment. I don't know, I just don't see Jason being happy anywhere else. I want to do that whitewater rafting experience - that looked very cool! There was a commercial about a new reality show called "Black Love", and Monet is one of the cast! 3 Link to comment

He needs to have a job lined up before moving anywhere or making big financial commitments to anything like that. I agree that all those things are more important than a ring. However, I am sure we are going to be treated to a finale where a jewelry company will donate a tacky ostentatious ring for free product placement ( I think they did something similar for Doug and Jaimie). Of course we will never hear that they got the ring for free or at a great discount. Instead we will be treated to a finale where Jason drops to one knee, gives her the ring, and talks about she is the greatest thing to happen to him (which he might earnestly feel this way). This ring and the (maybe) $400k they will earn this season, will give Courtney enough bragging rights among her sorority sisters to last a lifetime. I looked at Doug's linked in. I am a corporate recruiter and look at profiles all the time. Looking at his work experience it shows he can't hold a job and since he is in sales he hasn't been hitting his numbers. He definitely needs the money. This is a horrible thing to say, but sometimes I think Jaimie would like him a little better if he had more earning potential, beyond the reality show. I just do not think he is professionally ambitious enough for her. Edited November 19, 2015 by qtpye 3 Link to comment

The Ex is most certainly real, and she definitely did/does consider him to be her best friend. However, I have my doubts as to whether those feelings were/are reciprocated. Since we have been talking about Doug's career potential....I have to ask, is the ex well off? I sometimes think Jaimie wants an older man to take care of her financially and provide the security that she never had growing up. Perhaps she want a father figure, which is actually totally creepy, but not surprising, since she does not even know who her biological father is. Is is true that they tested four men and they all came up negative? I know you might not know these things depending on your relationship with her and how long you have known her, but as usual, any info is greatly appreciated. 2 Link to comment

Her Ex has an established career, is good at what he does and has had some major successes as of late. His career also puts him in the public eye, not to the point where he is a household name but there are people in certain circles who know him. I don't believe he is wealthy by any means but from what I've seen he is financially secure. I believe his career and financial stability and older age were absolutely factors in her attraction to him. Early on I sensed a father figure thing going on. Not sure about the tests to find her father - all I know is she's never known who he is. 1 Link to comment
Evil Queen November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 Being a NYC firefighter has come to be a job associated with a certain...glamor? It's not unusual for tourists to request pictures with firefighters (and police officers, for that matter). I'm also guessing that, since he's a native New Yorker, he probably is New York-centric (can't imagine living anywhere else because New York is "the best," etc.). Usually traveling or going to school out-of-state can give people more perspective but he seems like he's stayed put most of his life. I actually get the not wanting to move from the place you know so well and lived your life there. I've never lived anywhere else but where I am. Different city from where I grew up but not far from it really. As I have gotten older though I have said that IF I had to move that I would but only if I could stay on the West Coast still. While my husband has lived here and back east. So he is easier on it all. If Jason hasn't traveled alot over his life outside of his hometown its harder I can imagine. Yet he seemed a little more own on where Cortney lived now that he has been more. I can imagine the more they open up to traveling the more options could pop up for them both. I was wondering about the ring thing as well...I had thought she had one from the show when they got married. Of course maybe she just would like something he picked out on his own and gave her as an engagement ring since that wasn't part of things. Honestly who cares if she changes her last name or not. Plenty of us don't nowadays. For me, we have a long reason on why we have done things like we did. I think in this day and age that its just not that big a deal and a little lame to throw it in to the story to try to make it like its a problem for them. I would think with his job he could find one anywhere though. As was said though its that whole NY fireman not just some other kind of fireman. That is probably part of what is holding him back I bet too considering he has said he wanted to grow up to be a NY fireman and not just a fireman. Link to comment

Gigi43 November 19, 2015 Share November 19, 2015 Didn't Cortney have NC friends go to the Vegas trip? Between the original wedding and that Vegas one, Cortney doesn't have a single ring? I find that questionable. My mother -married 37yrs- summed up Jamie and Doug nicely, after Jamie pulled her "lets get another dog if we're not having a baby!" Thing: "She's such an asshole, he must be staying for the money, and that kinda makes him one to sell himself like this." Link to comment

Cabarb November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 I'm so confused by this whole proposal/ last name / ring thing with Cortney and Jason. Didn't that already happen?? In season 1, Jason proposed (for reals this time), they went to Vegas and had their bachelor and bachelorette parties and then renewed their vows. How many times does this guy have to propose before Cortney is happy? 2 Link to comment
Vinyasa November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 I find it hilarious that very few people commented on the Neph storyline. Lol! It is one of those things that is best to ignore! 3 Link to comment
Chloecat November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 I thought he worked with his brothers and sisters? Not sure how many he has, but isn't it a family business they all work at? Not according to his Linkedin, he is currently working for ICMS which is a small software company. Mind you he has been there since Feb 2014 so he will likely be moving on soon! 1 Link to comment
princelina November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 Jason himself has said that he thinks the NYFD is an elite crew and he has worked hard and is so proud to be a part of THAT group. So moving to AnywhereUSA FD is not on his list. I could get Courtney's point if he hadn't done the whole Vegas Vow Renewal bit - to me, that seemed to be the "choosing me himself" aspect that she claims to want. I was most irked with her due to the fact that she knew the type of vacation he wanted, and they visit her friends who have a beautiful outdoor pool, on a lovely summer day, and his part of the vacay is to sit indoors with a guy he's never met, being grilled on his "intentions". Who wants to lay out poolside having a beer when you could be justifying your existence indoors to a stranger? Jamie - does she still have a job? Or does she just lay about talking to the dog all day. She couldn't have found a pet shelter to volunteer at if she was bored? Or join a church or a meet-up group or talk to the neighbors or folks in the local dog park? Next week she wants Doug to meet Myex - does that mean we get to meet him too? Will we find out his real name or will he be introduced by his alias, "Myex"? Inquiring minds want to know :) 7 Link to comment
MsPH November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 I could've sworn Jamie called the ex Matt in the preview, but perhaps it was Myex instead. Link to comment

crazychicken November 21, 2015 Share November 21, 2015 I could've sworn Jamie called the ex Matt in the preview, but perhaps it was Myex instead. I thought it was Max at first but wasn't sure as she mumbled it. There was another sneak peek up on facebook and I am pretty sure she says my ex. She is really pushing for the meeting though and she wants Doug to met him and get along. She says she won't find it awkward as he is her best friend and it is not about showing each other up and she wants to be all Doug's. In the car on the way to her hometown she is pretty happy and Doug says the meeting could go horribly wrong and she fall back in love with her ex. It looks like we find out next week as the synopsis for the episode says that Doug does meet him. Link to comment
crazychicken November 21, 2015 Share November 21, 2015 The second clip from the car trip is gone I just went to link it now that I am home and there is only the original clip at the baseball practice venue. There was a lot of speculation on the clip that her ex was Lonnie Park the guy she wrote the wedding song with. Link to comment

I found this vid of Jamie interviewing him and this pic of them together. Pretty creepy if she made her ex write her wedding song, but nothing about Jamie surprises me anymore. Link to comment
