S07.E16: All the Roads Lead to This

[humbleopinion]

Amber and Mia would agree whole heartily about your opinion on Mrs. Ricky Bobby.

Amber can just flash her new engagement ring when waving goodbye to them...

Danielle said she didn’t think she would ever get a proposal because to be MAFS you skip the dating and the proposal, going directly to the “I do.”

So Ricky Bobby rides in on his white steed and makes the grand gesture to give Danielle the proposal she thought she missed out on.

Ricky Bobby’s  I’m choosing you, will you choose me by accepting this ring resets the dynamic...they choose each other instead of being chosen for each other, to quote Danielle...”a team of people” I am guessing she is including the “experts” but more likely the producers and assistants...

Danielle gets the mushiest gesture in MAFS history and the girl can’t squeeze out a single tear....geez louise....

I thought it was a bit overboard myself...could she possibly have said sorry pal?

Yeah well, he’s so appreciative that she travels so far to her very important job, whatever that is.

After he got down on the knee to give her the ring, his Mother probably wanted to smack him.  The sister too.

Geez, I wish Danielle would have said to her friend on the phone that Bobby is sweet, kind, selfless, giving, attractive, makes her feel secure, etc. 

Instead we get a list of what he does for the queen. Makes my coffee, makes my lunch, cleans the house, takes care of the dogs. I only have to ask him once to do something, and he does it! Because she has a 90 minute commute to work, you know, so she should be catered to like the queen she is. 

 We have yet to ever see what she does for him. 

That's because its a family show...

Amber looked miserable sitting next to Dave. She even said she was happy to be in her own space on their night apart. Amber said she knows Dave is sexually attracted to her because they have sex every day, but that she doesn't know if that translates into him having an emotional connection to her. It doesn't. It CAN, of course, but in their case, it doesn't. None of the decisions were a surprise. Of course Danielle and Bobby would stay married. And I knew Amber would opt to stay married; her friends basically said she was settling, and I'd guess she feels like she doesn't have time to "start over." I didn't think Dave would call it quits either, at least not on TV. I don't think they'll last though.

People.com already spoiled Tristan and Mia weeks ago.

I thought for sure Dave was going to launch into a preamble and finally give her the stink eye and say I just don't see a loving future for us. At the same time he wasn't all in, he said he wanted more time. They have their work cut out for them. I almost think Amber said yes because she wanted to see how Dave would respond more than she was really 100% sold.

The other two couples staying together confirms that they get paid if they do . 

[humbleopinion]

Bobby did tell the tantric lady that doing "it"  with Danielle as his happy place....translation...Danielle is his happy place.

Bobby explained to Tricia that this was the first relationship he was totally himself...that he didn't have to change for Danielle.

The fact that he could feel free to be himself even in front of the cameras and she didn't try to change him was a reason for his devotion to her.

I believe him.

 

Production assistant: Bobby, why are you taking 4 suitcases to the hotel with you?

You are there just for ONE night.

Bobby: Thought I'd do the laundry all at once since they have a bunch of machines all in a row at the hotel.....

I can do all the dog towels, the car towels, the extra dog bedding, the area rugs, the week's work clothes and the bathroom towels.

I'll be done in 2 hours flat...

Production assistant: Mind doing a load for me?

Bobby: No problem, toss them in the duffel bag.

I am going to freely admit that I cried during Bobby's declaration and proposal to Danielle.  She is a lucky lady.  He is, without a doubt, the best husband to ever grace this show.  After watching this, I am totally in love with him - - and if Danielle ever screws this up, I'm going to slap her.

Mia and Tristan are a couple of idiots.  The "experts" are a trio of idiots for encouraging these two in any way.  

I'm shocked that Dave didn't bail.  He clearly wanted to.  Even when speaking to his friends, he was practically begging them to come up with a good excuse for why Amber wasn't right.  And saying that it's not the same because his wasn't a "real" marriage or something like that?  God, Dave.  You ARE a douche.  

Amber made a comment during decision day about how she felt the same thing would be repeated or keep coming up and the damn experts, instead of asking her to elaborate, said okay, let's make decisions!  They really suck.

I love Bobby.

I would give anything just to know what Danielle was going to say before Bobby jumped in. I do wonder if maybe he had proposed beforehand and she wasn’t able to recreate the moment very well, but no doubt she’s not what I would call a warm person. 

Bobby’s mom and sister have to be a bit disappointed and his sister was bringing up his history of overgiving in past relationships  I’d love to know what his dad thinks  

Amber needs to just freeze her eggs and take the time to find Mr. Right. It just feels like she’s Dave’s booty-call and a wife in name only. 

Tristan and Mia just need to grow up and gtfoh. 

[PityFree]

Someone needs to tell Amber that it’s important to be very careful when picking the person with whom you have children. Being a mommy might be nice, but it’s not so nice to fight over custody, fight over child-support, not be in a relationship with the father, not trust the father, etc.

I had a fantasy that at the final sit-down, Amber would go first and say that she had decided she wanted a man who adored and cherished her and wouldn't settle for less, then the camera cuts to Dave's smug face looking slightly confused, and then she asks for a divorce.

I don't think his mom & sister dislike Danielle. I do think his sister was concerned about his over doing it with giving, giving, giving, because she realizes he will get burned out on it.

They are still in 'honeymoon phase', so I do feel he needs to dial it back several notches, but I don't think he will.

Honestly he seems a bit too, eager, to me. He can't possibly still behave this way in 20 years; surely reality, & fatigue, will set in at some point.

 While I know it’s not the same exact thing, I’m not as worried about Danielle reciprocating to Bobby because she shows such caring for her dog and the dogs she fostered.  She is able to put her needs aside and take care of another being.  Granted, we’ve only seen that with dogs so far.  But with the dogs we have seen her demonstrate concern, compassion, warmth, etc. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think that when she relaxes and gets more comfortable (i.e. no cameras around) she’ll be able to be just as demonstrative and caring for Bobby.

As a person who has been called mean for being honest before, I suppose you are right, but in this case, I think it's called for. For instance, a few seasons ago, Vanessa was insecure that Trey did not actually like her (and they also were having sex). He was nicer than Dave, said all the right things, and they stayed together. By the reunion they were splittsville, and she was heartbroken. I think Dave has saved Amber that much by being totally honest, and I don't think he owes it to her to change his personality or walk on eggshells all the time as he said just to assuage her unending insecurities. Okay, now I am really done. I don't think at this point anyone is going to change their opinions on these people. @Kareem - still waiting for directions to those undies.......

This may surprise you, but I never thought Trey was all that nice.  He was obviously a player, doing and saying all the "right" things for the camera.  I don't think Dave belongs in the same category with him whatsoever.  Dave may be a douche in some ways but he's not as bad as Trey in my opinion.  I tend to look 10 levels deep in these situations, I don't expect you to agree with me, but that's how I see it.

The problem with Dave as I see it, is that he never was able to communicate to Amber that he really feels what he has tried to claim he feels for her, because when nailed to the wall, he just plain doesn't feel it.  I learned a long time ago that when a guy (or any partner) gets angry with you because he can't seem to find a convincing way to communicate that he really likes you (whether verbal or non-verbal or both), it means he doesn't have those feelings, and all that talk he gives you is nothing but total BS.   Then the guy turns it around on you and makes it about your "insecurity" to deflect the blame.  I can't understate the importance of those last two sentences.  I almost want to have it tattooed to my arm, that's how important I think it is.  And that's exactly what I see going on between Amber and Dave.

I promise you, he sounds like a dream, but most women would not prefer him. 

Womens brains are typically not wired to be attracted to men who are so eager and desperate .. watching your man pack you a lunch, take care of your dogs, cook dinner, clean the house on the daily can actually get boring and tiresome. Everybody wants some kind of chase at least here and there. Bobby needs to take a page from Dave's book and be just a little bit aloof sometimes. 

And Danielle, I'm not even going to bother with her. Total ice queen. There is hardly ever any emotion, expression, on her face, nothing at all. It's actually pretty wierd. Whats also wierd is that her zero personality (a side from some smugness) has made someone fall head over heels in love.

Bobby may be a Ricky Bobby,  but he is no Casper Milquetoast. I see him more as a Romeo, who wondered when he first saw Juliet,  "Did my heart love till now?" 

Bobby looks East and sees Danielle as the Sun.  

Lily247, Let's say you are 100% correct in your assertions about What Women Want... Or Don't. 

As a member of that gender, I'm just going to suggest that perhaps Bobby's appeal for his wife is directly proportional to his attentiveness and eagerness to please in all realms and rooms. 

If you catch my drift.

I noticed this week that it's not just the shade/weight of her brows that were so unflattering, it was also that she drew them too close together and it made her eyes look too close-set.  In the photo from decision day, not only are the a more appropriate color and weight, but they're a little wider spaced and so much more flattering.

I wonder if Bobby would have acted the same way with anyone he was matched with. He seems like such a good guy I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop because why the hell did he need to be on this show? Especially because (in my opinion).. hes so cute. He looks and sounds like Leo Dicaprio in his prime. Danielle is blah but I think she said I love you to Bobby a long time before we saw. For whatever reason, the show thought her not saying it would add dramatic effect. But NO ONE had any doubt they'd stay together.

I'd be curious to see how he would have behaved if he'd been matched with Amber. I think he would have done the same things for her to help her out with her commute (at least initially). Amber would have found something to bitch about because she's a whiner.

Eh, there are a lot of people who are "animal people" who don't relate to humans at all.  Just because she's all into her foster pets doesn't necessarily translate into her being a good partner with another person.
