I wasn't clear on his job, so looked him up. Brett is a Director of Immersive design at Nike. In several interviews, Brown described his job as “Product Creation that’s focused on using real-time, high-fidelity visualization and collaboration tools adopted from the games industry to help fuel Nike’s culture of innovation and create the future of the “sport.” Do we think this is a real FT job? I have no idea. But maybe he gets product samples or a healthy discount on the products? |
Her friends are beyond dumb and shallow. Shocker. |
She's using Paul for screen time. Period. He's a dope and his apartment is gross. |
I feel bad for her. Something inside of her is drawn to normal, but I don’t think she can sustain the relationship. Too damaged. It is sad. |
Why wouldn’t it be a real FT job? Brett is a bachelor who doesn’t have any student loan debt. So he probably spends that Nike Director-level salary on rent, clothes, and gadgets. It’s entirely possible he doesn’t have a healthy savings, though. |
True. I read on his Insta he grew up at the poverty line. It's very impressive that he's accomplished what he has without a college degree. Smart, talented guy who may struggle a little with impulse purchases after growing up with nothing. He's thoughtful and mature, should settle down just fine when he has a family. Hope it's with Tiffany! |
Not totally crazy for a bachelor but I always worry someone that into goods and looks is going to be materialistic/shallow. Hoping he's the real deal. Tiffany was wise to check. |
Agree. His most lavish spend was $1200 on luggage. That’s not obscene for me considering he likely pulls in $150k min. He likely gets all his Nikes (most of his collection) free. I’m sure he does well and he doesn’t seem like a crazy spender. Tiffany is more of a Shein clothing girl (which is just fine) and Brett is more like a mix of Lulu Lemon and Nike. He’s single with no obligations, that would be fine. I especially liked his approach with splitting the finances and expenses. He seems reasonable. Tiff seems to be very frugal (roommate at 36) so I’m sure she’s coming up in the relationship if they are both well financially. I love them so much but something gives me pause about him being all in. Why didn’t we hear about his family or friends? He seems to authentically like her but still very much reserved. |
| Oh also, love Brett and Tiffany so much that it underscores why I think they shouldn’t have any more 25 year olds on the show. 25-30 year olds (with a few exceptions like Randall) seem to be more in it for the fame. 35 they really want to settle down and seem more authentic to me, plus they tend to be better off financially. |
He also bought a fancy BMW. But he probably is doing very well financially, likely better than all the other guys on the show. His apartment is nice but small. He's so agreeable, I do wonder if there's more beneath the surface. |

Nobody js talking about Chelsea and Kwame. I feel like he is really trying to convince himself that he loves Chelsea, when he pretty clearly doesn't. She reminds me a bit of Nancy-- still all in despite clear signs she shouldn't be. She will say yes, he will say no.
Despite not being at all what I expected, meeting Paul's mom made a lot of sense. I think the living arrangements and basic personality differences will be a determining factor for them. I predict No from both of them. Jackie is a real self-sabotager and clearly unstable. She is still young, and has time to heal and settle down. If she doesn't get help, though, she will worsen quickly. I feel terrible for Marshall, who is clearly a nice guy and is getting treated miserably. I hope he will be able to recognize that this isn't on him. They are both Nos. Brett and Tiffany are both Yes, but I still worry something bad could be lurking, because they are clearly getting a very positive edit. It could be that is because they are genuinely doing great, or it could be preparation for some drama. Hoping for the former. |
Agree with all of these, feel terrible for Chelsea and Marshall. |
Housing is crazy expensive in Seattle. |
It's more here. Their houses are newer and updated and more square footage. Similar house here is basically a shock for the same price. |
I don't know. Chelsea, at least as edited, is too single minded. She has her idea of what she wants her marriage and family life to be - living in Seattle close to her family, having kids soon, etc., and she's just slotting Kwame in. When he brought up his feelings instead of validating them she's just like "welcome to marriage" and "acknowledged." If he's willing to move to Seattle for her, she could help him find a new soccer team, compromise on when to start a family, etc. Marshall, despite catching himself when he used the word "project" really does have a savior complex. While it's true that Jackie has issues, their relationship is probably not the place to work them out. |
