S09.E11: Secrets of the Past

[Drogo]

With less than three weeks until decision day, Dr. Viviana has the four couples examine their past to help them see if they have a future; visits to childhood homes bring up old memories that may have been best left behind.

Still no Deonna on "Unfiltered"!  

[gonecrackers]

Greg hasn't been on for a long time either.

I think it's because there's the least drama with them - so far.

I don't know , GoneCrackers-- I smell rotting fish. Something is very 'fishy'!

[gonecrackers]

Wow - Matt just admitted he needs to get away from Amber & basically doesn't like her.

Shocked there Matt - but only that he was so out with it.  I guess at least he's being honest.

Ugh Matt is such a doofus.

[Crazy Bird Lady]

The only good thing I have to say about Matt is that he "stood up" for Beth when Jamie 'ordered' her to "SHUT UP!!"

It's been clear to everyone (even Amber, when she's being honest with herself) that he isn't into her and doesn't find her attractive. Yet last week he insisted to Pastor Cal that he was 100% committed, and continued to use Amber for sex at his convenience.

He tells her sweet things on their one-month anniversary, refuses to leave the marriage, and then blames her for being affectionate and holding out hope.

I don't like Viviana or whatever her name is. She seems officious and dopey.

[gonecrackers]

Iris trying to be sexy but just being dorky.

[Brooklynista]

Iris is putting the stiffest piece of whine I have ever seen on Keith.  Loosen the hell up Iris!!! Move that waist!

[Gem 10]

Besides Jamie O’s hair growing another three inches since last week, I think her line of questioning is too deep.  She’s very nervy.  Plus, why is Iris chirping in  when Matt isanswering a question?  Who is she to give advice?  Look to your own backyard Missy.  You can’t even straighten out your own ridiculous issues.

At least it keeps her from talking too much. 

[LennieBriscoe]

WTH is with Big Red's yapping over the NASCAR guy? Jamie was clearly both embarrassed and annoyed, so I'm cutting him some slack!

[Straycat80]

Not of fan of Beth’s but Matt telling her to shut up was so wrong. 

[gonecrackers]

Beth should've gotten in the car & run Jamie off the road.

[VioletNevermind]

Boy, nothing classier than having a screaming match with your wife at a NASCAR track (no offense to any NASCAR fans).

Ya know, I'm not having fun anymore. This is the couple I would never want to double date with.

[Kareem]

She’s gotta stop calling herself Deonna.  Buy a pronoun!

[LennieBriscoe]

What was the point of this activity? It wasn't for couples. Was it to attract a demographic that doesn't usually watch the show? 

Why didn't Elizabeth drive? Why couldn't Keith and Iris be there?

Feh!

none of these matches were made in heaven...the powers that be -who made them should just use a paper bag filled with names!!

[ECM1231]

Big Red Chardonnay has no social graces; by her age she should know it's rude to talk over an adult, especially the professional there who is trying to explain things. But Jamie was more wrong for telling his wife to shut up. Not cool.  He embarrassed her in front of the others plus one should never say shut up. Red was wrong to sulk, though. Lordy, they are a mess.!

[Ohwell]

WTF are Deonna and Greg talking about on the sofa?  Neither one of them makes sense.

[meligator]

I went to a race once in Hickory, NC and wives started fighting in the stands and the police had to be called.  The NASCAR guy might just be used to it.

[VioletNevermind]

Deonna doesn’t deserve Greg.  He’s a lovely guy and she is absolutely not ready for a real man.  She needs to pack it away for another 10 years and figure it out so that Greg can move on and find a woman who is worthy of him.

 ...as evidenced by the last 20 minutes.

[Ohwell]

I find a glass of lemonade to be sexier than Iris.

[VioletNevermind]

Ugh, this show is getting way too meta.  What’s with all of the analysis and navel-gazing?  Let’s see them engaged in activities and actually getting to know each other (and, in Elizabeth’s case, ball-busting and screaming).

Edited August 22, 2019 by Suzy Rhapsody

[LennieBriscoe]

And THAT is why The Guys went for the forbidden lemonade!

Jamie the hypocrite about what's okay in a marriage - guess it's okay to tell Beth to shut up & call her a c**t.  What a POS.

[TMI]

no elizabeth...you are stupid.... marriage to her is a m onologue

[gonecrackers]

I'm kinda diggin' Beth telling off Jamie & I think he has had it coming.

She could've left the table alone though.

[VioletNevermind]

Those poor dogs are scared shitless!  Interesting that they’re her dogs, but they’re huddling with him.  I’m sure it’s not their first rodeo. 

[Kareem]

Beth obviously didn’t take her meds tonight.  Their fights are so ugly.  She no doubt stresses out the dogs, too.  

[Straycat80]

Wow! Beth and Jamie should just give it up now. Really toxic relationship. But notice how the little dog jumped into Jamie’s lap and looked so scared. I felt more sorry for that little dog than these two idiots. 

[TMI]

dogs are going to be sad when daddy leaves

[gonecrackers]

Beth is a loose cannon but he keeps lighting her up.  They're all bad together but neither belong with anyone at all.

[Ohwell]

Elizabeth:  Classless and assless.

Jamie:  Careless and hairless.

[LennieBriscoe]

Big Red is too...something for Jamie. Loud? Brash? I don't know. But she's a piece of work, for good or ill, just not for him. 

Funny that we were shown two vignettes of husbands over-talking their wives, with the wives' reactions as fire and ice.

[Brooklynista]

Are the experts staying in N one of the apartments?? Did Dr Viv come from a secret stairway? Maybe there's a red phone.

Edited August 22, 2019 by Brooklynista

[2727]

Not enough moon water in the world to fix Elizabeth.

[TMI]

what drug is beth on???

[VioletNevermind]

WOW.  This woman is insane and beyond unprofessional.  Calling the expert a bitch was way over the line. 

[gonecrackers]

Why are they even bothering at this point?  Viv needs to help them both pack & prep for divorce.

[Ohwell]

I haven't watched every season but I haven't seen two more disgusting people than Jamie and Beth. 

[TMI]

toxic...their marriage is chernobyl-like

[VioletNevermind]

This expert, while a seemingly nice person, is delusional.  It’s time to call a U-Haul, not play one more therapy game.  

[Ohwell]

Did Amber just get out of the shower?

[gonecrackers]

Viv absolutely sucks.  She fits right in with the other 'experts'.

[Crazy Bird Lady]

Elizabeth to Jamie (after their discussion with Dr. New Sexologist): "I'm sorry I was so mean to you." 

And they hug.

Wrong!! You do not tell your wife, "Shut up!!" Jamie is the one who should be apologizing.
