Not sure about the pairings yet. Katie seems...25.

I don't think Zach will find his wife attractive enough. He's definitely better looking than her and he seems shallow AF.

Zach is giving me Luke vibes.

What? She's gorgeous- willowy, natural, pretty, and crazy ( = hot). He's good looking but almost feminine in his vanity and that detracts. His hair is its own personality.

I got my dress at Ellies!

Thoughts: I actually think this year's pairings are better than last. But the one who has a boyfriend she's pining over shouldn't be allowed to be getting married. I know it's good TV but not at all fair to the guy. Also she's 25! Way too young. And, the scientist getting her PhD married to the beer salesman seems like a bad idea.

There aren't the same options among black men as there are in other races, so if a black woman wants to marry a black man she may have to be with someone who doesn't have the same educational or other accomplishments.

That you are insinuating there aren’t accomplished educated black men is atrocious.

She’s willowy. I’ll give you that.

DP. I think maybe PP misspoke a tad? I am a black woman and it is simply a fact that there are not as many black men with the same educational accomplishments as black women. Statistically at most predominately white colleges there are 2:1 black women to black men and at HBCUs it’s 8:1. Black women also earn more on average. Also add to that that black men marry outside of their race with greater frequency than black women and it means there can be a lot of competition.

All of this. I didn't say there weren't accomplished black men I said the numbers are limited, which they are. I know of what I speak as a black woman who has dated, married, divorced and is dating again.

Black women normally aren't my type but Taylor (the thin black girl) is the only woman this season that I would classify as "hot." None of the other women are very good looking.

And Mexicali Blues! That part will be fun. Weren't there people on here who went to the wedding?

I’m the poster who went to one of the weddings (orbit least one of the posters, idk if there were more than 1). What I saw if the couple I know was fairly accurate so far. I’m curious to see how production edits the wedding, and excited for see how the rest of the season goes!

Austin and Jessica have enough teeth for 3 people.

[Anonymous]

I know someone who went to one of the weddings as well, and marginally know one of the brides. So fun watching this season with all the ‘local’ places shown!

Zach does not seem like a good fit for this show, to say the least - I think he’s on to promote his fitness business.

[Anonymous]

Is Zach being a gentleman or is he actually attracted to Mindy? Her teeth are bigger than Jessica and Austin combined!

[Anonymous]

As a guy, I would say Zach is not attracted to her and/or is on the show for ulterior motives as other posters have said. If you got shacked up with a hot woman you would be very clear about it!
