I disagree. He knew her name and her cultural background, and had a good idea she wouldn't be white. He is attracted to Zanab. He compliments her a lot, he has been affirming of her beauty many times. He made unadvisable comments about Colleen, but I do believe him when he says he is attracted to Z. I think he is really trying to connect, he initiated a discussion with Matt to shut down the Colleen issues, but Z is having too hard of a time getting over it. I don't think this relationship will work, but I don't think Cole is a terrible guy. Bartise, on the other hand, keeps telling Nancy that he isn't attracted to her and that looks do matter. He isn't trying, he isn't affirming to her, and he is distancing himself emotionally and still getting jealous that she is speaking with Andrew. He's gaslighting her and he sucks. |
Bartise was not really jealous, that was literally for the cameras. |
Nancy needs to gtfo. Bartiste may not like her body but she has a body type that many men go crazy over and she deserves someone who will not just tolerate her appearance but finds her genuinely sexy. |
He knew her cultural background and knew that they had a strong emotional connection. Just because he didn’t want to take a chance with Colleen whose personality seemed quite awful in the pods (seems better outside of it but came across very poorly in the pods) on the off chance that she was white doesn’t actually demonstrate that he’s equally attracted to non-white women. You should also go back and listen to how he talks about the physical appearance of the other women. I think that the difference between Cole and Bartise is that Cole knows he should be better and Bartise doesn’t care. |
Does Bartise remind anyone of Shayne? Same frenetic energy and mouth 😄 |
Hmm, not really, no. Shayne had some pretty clear mental health struggles, and is clearly ADHD. I think Shayne is also deeply insecure. I think he was ready for commitment but needed to work on himself. Bartise is a narcissist, immature, and shallow. He isn't ready for commitment and is lashing out at Nancy and gaslighting her instead of taking ownership of his feelings. |
+1 |
Bartise seemed really into Nancy at first, also physically. What happened? Is it just that he began comparing her to the "hotter" girls? |
Yep. He saw that Raven was attractive and got instant FOMO. |
I simply do not understand all of this Colleen and Raven are so much hotter than everything else thing. I think all of the women are in the same bandwidth of attractiveness. Zanab yammering on about she will never be as hot as Colleen. Are you serious?!??!?! None of these ladies are supermodels. They are all perfectly attractive/normal women. I also have no patience for all of these 25 year old men. They are children. Cole's "apartment" was disgusting and he acts like my 11 year old. |
BTW - I am clearly too old for this show because the only man I thought was attractive was Alexa's father! Alexa's family was all super attractive - her stepmother did not look any older than Alexa. |
Agree. I think the age needs to be 28 plus for this show. It's exhausting watching Bartise. I actually think Cole had potential but Zanab is too insecure, so they aren't a great match. |
LOL I agree. Alexa's father was kind of hot. |
Honestly, her whole family is attractive. |
Good points about Bartise. Also Colleen is so vanilla and honestly fugly, I have no idea what the hype is about. And Raven's face is so frozen, I really don't see it. |
