Mabinogia January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 I would be cheering for any woman who, during any group date/party, put her hand up and told him "I'm not kissing you and the five other women you've kissed so far tonight." Cause, really, EWWWWW. One on one date, sure make out all you want, group setting, when his tongue just came out of some other chicks mouth, nope, not happening. He doesn't even seem to have time to pop in a breath mint between makeouts. 10 Link to comment

Arie, you already look like you could be half these ladies' creepy uncle and/or father, you don't have to sound like it too. Yes, it was a real Ward Cleaver moment, for us oldies who get the reference. Beaver, i am disappointed in you. I want you to stay in your room and think about what you've done.

He does NOT like Krystal but TPTB do! She is the bitch who is dragged along as far as they dare. I don't think Arie likes any of these women. But there are a handful he really, really wants to have sex with, and Krystal is one of them. Edited January 30, 2018 by reggiejax 9 Link to comment

This show does seem to love stereotyping people from the south. Even Raven, (who admittingly seemed more comfortable with it) was more accomplished than a lot of these women, ( social media influencer etc.., which is what they have listed as Jenna's job) with owning her own business. I really don't know why I expect more from this show at this point but this isn't the dark ages. As @dleighg pointed out there are cities in Arkansas and they even have modern conveniences like cars, phones and computers. Yeah sarcasm intended. 8 Link to comment

If I could work remotely, I would disappear into the Everglades and never come back. But I would live in the cypress. The sawgrass is boring to me. I already live next to it. But good for Arie, you can’t hear much on an airboat, so he didn’t have to listen to Tia, just grab her face and slobber on her. One tired ass looking alligator. Too bad they didn’t call me for a tour. I know where the damn things are stacked up like cordwood, and it’s really gross and creepy. How were these rumpkins in my territory and I wasn’t notified! also Ft Lauderdale is my favorite city I ever lived in, but it’s not sexy. Miami is the sexy city, but old g’pa possum couldn’t keep up the Miami nightlife pace. oh Krystal, how do I love you! You showed Arie futuristic! (?). I am not nor have I ever been anti futuristic. Very nice meltdown. She just may need to move to Paris like Kelsey Poe if she keeps being so awesome. I would be pissed off that the bowling losers got a piece of the pie too. Arie is dumb. A lot of these women are smart and accomplished. Why is the beautiful one who must be a mime there? For this dumb, mediocre putz? Social media following? Got roofied walking past a casting call? finally, why is the live music always country? I find it odd that almost every season has some cheesy country act like big pig, etc. it’s annoying.

Her reaction was just too much for something so silly. What I'm tired of is all the attention she is getting from the show; she has most of the talking heads and I'd rather hear more from the other women on subjects other than Krystal.

If a woman has thoughts of a big church wedding, for example. And some religions push hard for a spouse to convert, or to vow to bring the kids up in the other's religion. And there's the whole social aspect of attendance at church as a family. Some religions are very clear that family members who don't attend church will not be United in heaven. I was raised strict Catholic, but I'm a non-believer now. I would not be happy married to someone who based every decision on what God or Jesus wants, for example.

backformore January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 Once Krystal said she "grew up" in a bowling alley (who knows what the truth is) I wonder if she was a good bowler. And then she chose her team based on wanting to beat the ones who were talking against her. Her team winning was her way of getting some kind of vindication, a victory over the "haters." I bet she saw the blue team as people who were on her side, in some rivalry she has with Beckah. It wasn't about getting time with Arie as much as it was about certain other women NOT getting time with him. She wanted to be recognized and rewarded for being the bestest bowler ever. She did end up getting special attention when Arie went to her room, which I thought was a big mistake on his part. (But maybe producer driven). 6 Link to comment
