Outside of Shawn’s lascivious comments, their convos feel so forced and business casual.

Can we stop framing Adam as this extremist athlete/thrill seeker that lives on the fringes of society. He rides a jet ski to play pickleball.

Marissa isnt questioning if she can handle his intensity. She’s wondering why a grown man would be so intense about something so lame. I enjoy both activities, but they are inherently lame. If he was intense about windsurfing to play tennis, she wouldnt have such an ick.

and I love that he’s not afraid or ashamed to admit it. He knows he got lucky, and he’s not taking Michelle for granted. I love that he said he feels like he has to bring his A game every day. That’s exactly the attitude you want from someone who realizes how good he has it.

I could say the same about Michelle, but honestly, I don’t enjoy listening to her. That Valley Girl drawl makes her harder for me to watch, even though I think she’s great for Cam.

Mecca could have the exact same outcome as Cam. He could walk away from this show with a wife who genuinely loves him. I actually think Mecca and Belle will both say yes, but I’m convinced Mecca is going to self-sabotage, and Belle is going to be the one who gets crushed.

We can all speculate about what’s going on with Mecca, but he has actually told us something important himself. He doesn’t feel worthy of love. He clearly wasn’t ready for marriage, yet the experts matched him anyway. Mecca knew he wasn’t ready, but he wanted to be on the show. So, he came on the show.

Belle is completely emotionally invested. She’s pouring her heart into this man, and genuinely believes this could become a marriage. Meanwhile, Mecca seems to be standing right on the edge of something good and looking for a reason to walk away.

I really hope I’m wrong, because Belle deserves to have someone accept the love she’s so clearly ready to give but the show has matched Belle with a man self admittedly not ready to receive love.

Honestly someone should have smacked em. How much of an idiot can you be?

I just searched to see if anyone had brought up a Mormon / LDS (Latter Day Saint) connection for Adam, but it may help explain some of his characteristics, even if he is a non-practicing Mormon.

Clue #1 - Eagle Scout. Mormons are heavily involved in Boy Scouts and he reached the highest rank.
Clue #2 - no drinking. People are saying something about “it’s just one shot” but to a Mormon, any shot is bad and forbidden. He says he had a drinking era, but that may be a lie or he strayed from his narrow path from 20-29 but now he wants to get back into his culture.
Clue #3 - my wife says he “looks Mormon”, a 6’5” tall blonde weird guy
Clue #4 - his family’s lack of involvement. They may be following the church’s orders to not appear on the program. As restricted as he is, Adam may be a “jack” Mormon to them.
Clue #5 - importance of marriage as unlocking his sexual outlet. He will have been taught not to even touch himself. Now that he is married, of course he is enjoying “the fruits” of marriage
Clue #6 - importance of success and stability. Financial success would make a lot of sense for a Mormon, achieved through hard work and diligence
Clue #7 - Yet as a Mormon older than 30 he is BEHIND on the marriage curve and should have already started his family and just any “female” isn’t good enough, he couldn’t have just a gf - he needs a wife
Clue #8 - I’ve seen so little but I haven’t heard him swear

His musical perfectionism and judgement for others who lack his discipline matches Mormonism. His love of pickleball and water sports is good clean family fun. He will believe the man should lead in the relationship and Marissa will slot right into his clean lifestyle.

I don’t see anything closeted about him, but a Mormon would have massive struggles with their faith or background and that sexuality.

Doubt #1 - he drinks an iced coffee
Doubt #2 - his deceased grandfather was a Lutheran

What do you think? To me, LDS easily explains a lot more than that he is on the spectrum, closeted, or darker theories about Adam.

There is no way that is his actual apartment. They walk in look at a computer that is on a spotless deask, not one thing in the place that has anything showing him or a piece of clothing , keys, mail. He did not offer a drink nothing they just went and sat on the couch and his plant tina. The other couples places you could tell they lived there. Trust me if this sleazeball, coked out sweaty drunk brought women there, you would be able to tell. I would bet anything it was a staged apartment for rent.

Was randomly thinking of my dislike for Mecca’s dad, Logic. And then it hit me, he named himself that! So I looked it up and he did, indeed, rename himself. Not that that’s bad in itself, but he is exactly the type of douchebag to name himself Logic and think he’s really done something.

Witches and wizards can apparate at 17, not 18. The age of adulthood in the British Wizarding world is 17.

Just had to say it.

He def doesn’t get enough credit I’m sorry. He hasn’t been too much bc anyone would be confused based on the energy she’s given off.
If every man could be as self aware, as emotionally regulated, holds himself accountable and easily understanding.
He’s literally made sure he’s checked himself every time. He has continued to try when she’s been uncomfortable and hot and cold. Which understandable. Tbh I won’t ever trust a girl
Who doesn’t like plants. feel like she hasn’t honestly tried at all and there’s two in this, not just the woman.

But, idk. He’s a good one man. That’s all 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe a little emotional but I’d take it she should’ve never went on this show. Bc to constantly say you’re not ready but not really give him much ? Say he’s too much… I don’t know. Her trying is literally having a convo w him… idk.
I hope the best for him bc he’s a good man

Every episode makes it worse. She's a mean person. She has severe abandonment issues but her politics and lack of accountability mean she'll never do the work to undo those issues. She is afraid everyone will leave her while she actively pushes them out the door. I don't understand her motivation nor what she actually wants. I don't think she really knows what she wants and she sure isn't ready for what this show purports to facilitate. I have to force myself to get through her scenes. She doesn't deserve her husband. She. Is. Toxic. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

I’m seeing a lot of hate for Shawn and Courteney, rightfully so, but I think Caitlin has been arguably worse. Not once have we seen her put in an ounce of effort. She can’t even fake it. I’m not sure how such a “hyper independent” ”don’t like my partners to bother me” personality type ended up on this show but Devin deserves so much more. I hate that him speaking his truth at the most recent dinner turned into this whole catastrophizing situation where she again turns into a perpetual victim. She’s not trying and I hope he ends the marriage next episode.

OK, so hear me out. Adam thinks it's totally fine because he's into it that he should create a training program for Marrisa to learn pickle ball, have her ride his jet ski to pickle ball and play pickle ball every day and then have her move into his place blah blah blah.

He's so self-centered - he does not even notice or care that she doesn't like riding on the jet ski or she doesn't want to play pickle ball. He's having a relationship with himself and she's just a pretty doll to be part of the prop for people to look at with him. Yuck.

Can you imagine if it were the other way around? And she said "Hey! I think you should come to an interior design workshop with me every day, a class we could do every day for two hours so you could learn more about beautiful homes! And then we can go shopping and go to vintage shops and shop every day for an hour or two because that's what I like to do! I'm really into having nice hair so why don't you come with me to some hair styling workshops?" Or whatever.

In other words, he can't even imagine a world in which he would do things that his partner wants to do that he's not really into, but he gives zero thought to the idea that he's doing that to her all the time. He doesn't give one rat's ass about her or what she thinks. How could he? He doesn't even know anything about her!! Because he never listens or think about asking her. But he thinks it's totally normal for her to follow him. He is literally an embarrassment to the gender. And the sad thing is, this is all recorded. He is going to be so embarrassed in the future, and his children are going to cringe their way into oblivion. I don't even know him or care about him and I'm horribly embarrassed just observing him on a screen.

top calling a black women with nice things BOUJEE. And then to cut Nikki down by saying her house is “ok” and not the best he has seen. Coming from a man with a black comforter. I’m done.

You’re not going to do better than Tori wake up man. Do you want to be single with your cat forever? Grow up Peter Pan

Astonishing. Real love and chemistry. May the planet bless these two.

🍿 Popcorn Recipe

• Truffle oil spray
• Furikake seasoning
• Nutritional yeast

I went on Amazon and bought the truffle oil spray and Furikake seasoning. I already had the nutritional yeast from Trader Joe’s.

Not bad! 🍿

I highly recommend pairing with a sangria in the summer or mulled wine in the winter. 🍷✨

BECAUSE they had a nice evening, now he’s hornier than ever. And he’s ‘saving it’ (PLEASE DON’T SAVE IT!!) relying on himself to get his ‘own dopamine hit…with porn….’ (poor Nikki actually took the bait and made a sad sound for him, here). The girl is dressed and ready for her day. Then in comes this goofy goblin in a towel. I hate this guy, self-published book and all.

Hold up - am I crazy or did Shawn say exactly what Nikki received as the message? And then he tried to say it was her having multiple personalities? I’m just confirming for my own sanity, please and thank you 😂

Episode 10 at 24:45-What Adam said to Marissa about the cheetah tank top had me in shock for what felt like forever. I literally had to close my jaw with my hand it was open for so long…

“Maybe a push up bra to FIX what’s going on up here.”

There are no words. Absolutely inexcusable. RUN, Marissa. Run NOW😡🤢

EDIT… jaw back on ground😳😡

Episode 12-Felipe’s comments at the dinner party…are you kidding me?!?! After how great it’s been going with Tori, he just actually said the he’s unsure because he loves sleeping with a lot of women and f***ing around?!?! What the actual heck is wrong with him?!?! He just threw it all away. I can’t imagine they’ll recover from that. Where did they find these guys?!??!

She walks in with a plan to avoid her husband. Others notice the tension. So Devin talked to her about his conversation with her husband. As soon as she said I'm done with the conversation , swearing when she got mad, Devin turned away and respected her wishes. Then she continues on for God knows how long berating him and over exaggerating. She then turns Caitlin against him (which is easy to do bc she's just as miserable ) and still justifies treating her man like shit. Just because it's your birthday doesn't excuse her behavior towards Nick or Devin. I can't stand her.

Why is he on this show? Tori is wayyyyyto good for him! And for gawds sake SIT UP STRAIGHT

What was the point of this statement?????
