S09.E10: Are You Committed?

[VioletNevermind]

Greg, I’m just in love with you.  What a great guy.  We need several million more just like him.  

[Ohwell]

Oh lawd.  Freddie Munster and Matt.

[gonecrackers]

Matt: 'sup

What Amber should have said: Fuck off Matt.

[Kareem]

Uh oh. Amber is building a foundation.  Matt is still at the Planning Board.  

[Brooklynista]

Jesus Christmas! Matt just break it off already. Maybe they'll let your homeless ass stay in a studio apartment in the complex until the reunion or something. .

[ECM1231]

PULL THE PLUG , AMBER!!! Omg listening to Matt hem and haw is making me stabby!!!

[Mercolleen]

Amber: "Why don't you wanna spend time with me."

Matt: "Yeah."

OMFG. Pack up and leave, girl.

He should be thrown out on his ass.

Actually he'll probably just go wherever he's been all these nights he's not been with Amber.

Amber will drown in her own tears.

Carmen Miranda. Stepped out on the veranda. Fell and had nowhere to landa. But on her head, in a big ass bowl of fruit.

[LennieBriscoe]

Amber tells Matt she wonders if he wants to spend time with her, and he replies.........dead air.

Blank expression. There's nothing there there, regarding Amber. She is quickly approaching Pathetic City.

She's the mayor.

2:30?  Amber, you are absolutely pathetic.  Get a spine, girl.

[Brooklynista]

2:30??A.M.??? Be home by day break. That's all Amber requires.  Shit, i want to be married to this idiot. She stands up for absolutely nothing for herself. This is the opposite of girl power.

[humbleopinion]

Amber: Are you committed to the marriage, Matt?

Matt: Humma na....Humma na....Humma Na

Amber: Imma need you to wear this ankle bracelet that will deliver a shock if you aren't Home by 230am and humping me

Matt’s thought bubble 💭....note to set up robo text at 9pm “Luv ya babe” to Amber and again at 1am “Be Home Soon”

Did Amber mean she wants Matt home by 2:30 am?  No problem Amber.

[LennieBriscoe]

Matt also seems a tad dim-witted. Not 90DF Pole level, but not in the fast lane, either.

[gonecrackers]

Amber playing mommy, "be in by 2:30" - FFS.

She should've said, "pack your bags now, we're done"

Why is Amber negotiating Matt going out without her?

I mean, look, I would go batshit crazy with a man who needed to be up under me 24/7 and I definitely think couples need their own friends/things, but Amber is like, sure, go out without me all the time and stay out until 2:30 AM! Why bother being married if that's how it's going to be? She comes home from work, he's not there, he comes home at 2:30 when she's asleep ... what is the point of this? 

She says she wants change but she's not demanding change. "Be home by 2:30 instead of staying out all night" is not change.

And she wants him to text her twice.  No problem.

[karenbrady]

Matt's dead eyes lit up!!! He's like hell yeah I can bang my chick out and be home by 2:30 AM..no problem stupid Amber!!

Jamie:  "I don't want to do things that will hurt her."  You mean, like, reeeally hurt her?

Well, last week she did say that all she needs to know is that he is alive.

[Empress1]

WAIT. Jamie is saying "let's not name-call" when he called her a c*nt?! "I'm not going to sit here and be demeaned" - MY DUDE YOU CALLED HER A C*NT. 

[Ohwell]

What was sad and funny at the same time was that Amber thought she was laying down the law!  Poor bird.

[LennieBriscoe]

Jamie's ire was rising EVEN IN THE PEACE TALK. "I don't want to be demeaned." What?? What did E say that was "demeaning"?

Welp.  You got a point there.

[Gem 10]

I am sick to death of Iris and her virginity.  Keith is too patient.  It’s not like she is 17.  She’ll probably have a time line if they finally do it.  Is she worth all this trouble?  There are plenty of girls for him without these hang ups.  Who does she think she is?  There’s just too much talk about all this.  It’s annoying already.  I don’t care for the way Deonna says “ you did good” like she’s talking to her dog.

The “go home and talk to your spouse” advice has been stellar, amirite?  Like watching people in quicksand.

I hope she never has a girl child because man...she has nothing to teach a daughter about not being a doormat.

[VioletNevermind]

Matt’s complete lack of give-a-shit will whittle Amber down to a nub.  He’ll violate their new 2:30 rule, then it’ll be, “Okay, just be here by sunrise.”  Then it’ll be, “Okay, just let me know you’re alive within 24 hours of leaving the apartment.”  I can’t imagine how devalued Amber must feel, but at some point, you only have yourself to blame when someone keeps mistreating you again and again. 

[gonecrackers]

So much pathetic in this episode. Jamie & Matt should've been dumped on their asses.

[Ohwell]

Deonna!  Git that!

[Mercolleen]

Amber so giddy in bed next to Matt is so sad.

[humbleopinion]

Jamie wants more sex like everyday...

DyedRed doesn’t want that to have that much sex.

She will be hiding behind the closed door avoiding Jamie’s peniz because that is her safe place and he can’t barge in to demand sex.

Recipe for disaster....

Yep. People do what they can get away with and Amber is letting Matt get away with murder. Coming home at 2:30 AM is not a compromise. When are they supposed to be doing all this growing and building if he's out every night with his friends/side chick/anyone but Amber? 

[Ohwell]

So now Keith is supposed to lick your fucking arm.

Stop licking Keith.  Just stop.

I'm off to Amazon to find me this edible body paint. I'll show Iris how to place like a grown ass woman trying to get some from a grown ass man.

But really I think I just want that paint.🙄

[2727]

I liked this episode a lot, if only for seeing some real pretend counseling. The contestants on this show must have some kind of reality Stockholm Syndrome where they refuse to say (or perhaps even acknowledge to themselves) that they don't want to be married.

Hey, Keith and Matt? Neither of you are fucking "100% committed" so just stop it! Matt barely tolerates Amber and Keith has now seen Iris' OCD-adjacent outbursts and neuroses, not to mention she seems asexual.

[Straycat80]

All these sexy time games are cruel in regards to Keith because you know in the end Iris isn’t going to part with that V card. 

So much idiocy this episode. Matt and Jamie should have been kicked to the curb and Elizabeth sent back to Daddy. 

[2727]

As a palate cleanser, Deonna and Greg continue to warm my heart.

Deonna seemed shocked that anyone would think she wouldn't stay married. She just needs to learn to tell Greg that yes, she thinks he's sexy and yes, she's freaking smitten.

Greg's friends continue to be impressive in their caring and support.

[Gem 10]

Jamie will never change.  He is what he is.  Take it or leave it Elizabeth.   They can’t stay apart and they can’t live together.  A double edge sword.

[ShowFan]

Can someone explain to me how limiting yourself to blowjobs at nearly 30 is a “gift”? 

I was quite impressed with Greg’s friend. He said some pretty wise things right there. Deonna is super boring to me and I find watching them a huge snooze (mostly because of her)

[Auntie]

Jamie and Elizabeth are both vile, evil, self-absorbed assholes. They've made complete fools of themselves on national TV.

Get me a gallon while you’re at it.  Hot pink.

I could just see my husband doing this. Hahahahaha. He’d say “get that shit off and give me the remote.”

[humbleopinion]

Too bad the two horny toads Jamie and Amber weren’t matched...they would finally be coupled with someone with the compatible turbo sex drive to equal their own.....

Well, Iris. We have all been holding on to our precious gift for many years. Maybe not 27 but we sure as heck didn't start having sex right out of the womb. Dumbass. 

Oh, and I officially hate Matt.

He is a gaslighter and a verbal abuser. As much as I think Red is a nutjob she needs to run far away from this loser. 

[LennieBriscoe]

Jamie called Elizabeth a vile name, but as human beings they do not seem to me to be either vile OR evil. Self-centered, for sure. Maybe even nasty, when they're at home.

So maybe she’ll do the same, I hope.  Keith should buy a strong bottle of wine and loosen her up.  It’s enough already.  Besides, I think all those exercises are stupid.
