S09.E15: Finale Reunion

[Crazy Bird Lady]

Apparently, Jamie has trained Beth not to say anything when he's being asinine. 

He wanted to have her dog put down, instead of spending the money for Doggy ICU. Beth drew the line at that (as she should have!) but then she "repented" and took the asshole back. 

I truly hope these two divorce soon.

I think Keith and Matt should hang out together

No!  What if that kind of arrogance and indifference is contagious.  

[Adeejay]

Not only does Iris know what Matt was thinking, but she also seems to know exactly what they should have done to fix their marriage; too bad she didn't know how to fix her own.

I don't see arrogance or indifference, just two guys who knew they didn't want to be married to their partners.

[2727]

I just want to go around the room and tape Iris' mouth, snatch her wig, tie Matt's manspreading knees together, throw away Amber's earrings, give Beth some pettipants, and put Iris' wig on Jamie.

[shouldbedancing]

Jamie and Beth are moving from Charlotte to the Bay Area where the cost of living is like 3 times higher? And Beth will be unemployed and has never had a real job? Jamie really must have some serious bank or they made a lot of money from this show...

[Adeejay]

I can't believe Deonna said that if you are going on this show, do not set your expectation too high.  Given that I believe she hit the jackpot with Greg, I was surprised to hear her say that.

Just because it can't be said enough - Matt is a douche bag.

[answerphone]

Iris is certified crazy 🤦

And I noticed the expression on Greg's face and it wasn't pleasant.  I can see Greg bailing in a few years, paying child support. 

[Meowwww]

Iris is exhausting.  The yammering, the cluelessness, the speaking in the third person. She still doesn’t have a clue.  

Greg was gonna pick that button right off the couch! 😜

Matt, at least pretend you’re not there just to collect a check. Jeez. 

Amber is still pitiful. Why does she want to be cordial with someone who doesn’t want her? He doesn’t even want to talk to her.

I predict a long and happy marriage for them. Guess we’ll see.

Amber is so desperate for Matt to give her the tiniest crumb of remorse. I’m embarrassed for her.

You said it all, lol.  I just want to add that I now understand why all of Iris’s relationships didn’t work out.  She is too full of herself, and such a know- it-all, she thinks.  Most of all, she doesn’t shut up for one minute.  One sentence would be enough, but it goes on for ten paragraphs of boring nothingness.  Thank goodness Keith let her go.

[kerrieway]

Iris, Iris, Iris...I wasn't the biggest Keith fan but you are making him look like a saint. The overtalking, the inappropriate comments (asking Keith if he'd had sex yet because you want to make sure he's good). This was a passive aggressive/aggressive nightmare. Wow, I finally see what everyone else was talking about. 

I like Beth, she has a backbone...didn't put her dog down and when the interviewer wanted to know what she'd been told about Matt she nipped it in the bud, I can respect that.  

[endure]

I thought it was funny the host asked Deonna & Greg about kids but didn't go anywhere near that subject with Beth & Jamie.

STOP with the virgin talk!

I agree. Deonna has never seemed to appreciate Greg as much as she should and that can definitely wear down a relationship over time, no matter how committed Greg might be. She has no idea how good she has it. If she drives him away with her walls, criticism and negativity she will regret it for the rest of her life. I just wish she could be a little nicer to Greg. Rather than criticizing him for complimenting her, as an example, wouldn’t it be nice if she just complimented him back instead???

[Kiss my mutt]

Kevin needs to replace all the two-bit hosts on TLC reunions who are afraid to say boo to anyone. 

Iris is so immature that even a seven year old would tire of her. She lacks self awareness and has no idea how tedious she is with all the “Iris is good, Iris is fine” like it’s some kind of self affirmation she says in a mirror, which on second thought, she probably does.

Me too! I was a fan of Iris up until this episode, but wow is she coming across poorly tonight. I get it that she’s hurt, but she seems like a different person tonight. Snippy. Rude. Passive aggressive. Entitled. Self important. The list goes on. Her attitude is really terrible. I am so disappointed in her. I expected so much better.

You read my mind. Most people are moving away from California to southern areas that are more affordable like Dallas and Charlotte. What gives? Jamie would have to be making 6 times what he makes now to break even. What are they thinking?

Wow @ Deonna’s remark. Can she make it anymore obvious that had to lower her standards or expectations and “settle” for Greg? Geez. She can’t help poking holes in his spirit and being a killjoy.  Greg is the prize, and she doesn’t deserve him. She doesn’t seem to appreciate him or the fact that of every man on that stage, he was the most prepared and most committed. I was trying to root for them, but I really believe he’s not her type and she’s not truly attracted to him. Her type was the emotionally unavailable and let’s be in a situationship type of f-boys.

I thought Jaime said that Beth’s dog was so sick they might have to put her down; not that he wanted to put her down. Can anyone confirm what he said?

She cried like a baby the whole time they were together, then like magic, she found her voice tonight and came out strong like a boxer with a lot of zingers she should have said to Matt from the beginning.  She was a completely different person, bitter and rude.  Too late.

[humbleopinion]

Iris’ mother must be asking herself how she could have such an yammer mouth daughter with an unrealistically high opinion of herself.

Keith is thinking...Do you all NOW see what a nutso Iris is?

Matt was so removed from that whole awkward sit down at the end, he must have been told he could not get up and walk out like he has done in the past - he really is a piece of work.  I wonder if his parents actually disowned him!

I really didn’t take her comment to be against Greg at all. She said don’t have high expectations. I thought she was referring to Matt and Amber in particular but also in general about the process. Don’t expect to be matched with a perfect person. It’s not all going to fall into place. But 🤷‍♀️ another example of how words are interpreted differently by different people.

[Kiss my mutt]

What was up Amber’s makeup? Her face looked like the makeup artist hated her. 

I thought I couldn’t despise Matt any more than I did until he said he knew he wasn’t into Amber within the first 15 minutes. I mean, I knew it too, but why take her to pound town then?

Gregg doesn’t look like he has the balls to ever leave her.  He looks whipped.  He’ll take the abuse and kiss her ass.  Why?  I have no idea.

Yes, you are correct. I had closed captioning on. He never said he wanted to put the dog down b/c of expenses or anything like that. He actually seemed quite upset to think Beth's dog might have to be put down.

[gonecrackers]

I think Deonna meant she came into this with those “low expectations” so she could be open to whoever she got, & I believe she was trying to say Greg exceeded that.

I was surprised, though, that she said she loved him & he said nothing back. Greg seemed quiet & less than enthused tonight, but I do hope they work out. 

And as sweet as Sandy is, living with a pet you’re allergic to can be miserable. So did the experts ask about pets & allergies or just didn’t care, again?! That sucks.

[OnTime]

Can we talk about Iris' new hair??

Also, what happened to Keith's hair?

Oh I felt awful when Greg said he was allergic. He truly is a gem. I am a dog person but I know folks who are allergic to cats and have gone into anaphylactic shock. Scary stuff. Hopefully Greg's allergy is not too severe. 

And yeah, the experts suck!

I think the couples that break up often come back looking totally different - maybe it’s to show the world (or show themselves!) that they’ve moved on.

I miss Whitney Houston though! She stood out with that hair and had the face to pull it off beautifully. Now she just likes one in a million with relaxed hair.

This Matt is ruthless. In the first 15min he knew Amber wasn't the one  but he still spent 8 weeks giving her his ass to kiss. How lowdown.

Matt is an incorrigible reprobate incapable of any ethical behavior from what we saw on this show.

These character defects are enhanced by his glaring ignorance about the emotional harm he causes those in his midst and the fact that's he's very "hard on the eyes".

Maybe Matt will get a clue regarding his disgusting, behavior when his future opportunities dwindle to zero.  I can't see any sane, principled person giving Matt the benefit of any doubt.  WISE UP, MATT!!

[ECM1231]

I thought Beth looked great! I liked her new hair color and how she was wearing it and her makeup was on point. I loved her dress although it was short and most importantly, her girls were covered up!

You’re so right...both of those were bad (the lemonade melt down was so over the top...I can’t imagine living with someone like that!). Somehow I managed to overlook all of that and still managed to like her somehow, but you’re right, both were total red flags.

Probably a wig - in her update in her apartment we saw Iris is doing well & Iris is living Iris’s best life with Iris’s natural hair.

I couldn’t agree more.  I took her statement to mean that you have to keep an open mind and not have unrealistic expectations that your match will be a perfect love at first sight. I think they’re great together. I don’t see Greg as a doormat at all.  He expresses himself just fine when he wants to.  They are making it work because it’s something they both want.

i even have hope for Jamie and Beth.  They seem more settled in now that the cameras are gone.  But, what do I know, I thought Matt was misunderstood.  Proof that I’m not to be trusted when it comes to reading people.
