I could also see her pulling this off with a much younger white guy. Power dynamic issues for sure. |
Peasant? That term was a bit xenophobic for me honestly. Although Jackie doesn't seem to have a lot of knowledge of history so probably not intentional. |
Awkward teenager who was told she was going to be filmed for Netflix. She will cringe at that in five years, but pretty normal. |
He is a chronic interrupter. |
| If Brett and Tiffany don’t make it I am going to be crushed. The world needs this right now, lol! |

If I were Bliss’ parents I would not be excited about Zach at all. She’s beautiful and smart and seems like she has a good heart. Zach has horrible judgment and didn’t pick her first! I just don’t see what his good qualities are…he talks a lot, he’s unattractive, probably broke since he’s only been practicing law for 6 years and appears to be a solo, and he’s off putting enough that literally every other girl got the ick from him. I think that the attraction to him that she has is misplaced daddy issues because she keeps emphasizing how they had similar backgrounds.

| What’s up with Micah’s friends? No boundaries and sabotaging their friend’s fiancé before getting to know him … |
Yea, I’m sorta in love w Brett. What a dream of a man! |
Yes, he was rude. He was extremely dismissive of his adult daughter and showed zero respect for her judgment. You can be skeptical but he was insultingly so. I wonder if you know what respect looks like |
+1 |
Totally agree. And Tiffany is an amazing equal. Beautiful, successful, straightforward, and supportive. We have not seen one lick of drama from her either. Just both purely open, honest, mature, and respectful. |
I think it’s because he’s not like super wealthy. But Paul is dead to me after I saw on Reddit that he followed a bunch of white nationalists on instagram. |

Dr LIB here…took me a couple days to catch up! I don’t think we actually learned that much more in these episodes! I think Jackie is super damaged, I actually do think she had real feelings for him in the pods and in Mexico that whole lunacy was her struggling with like, herself. Knowing how totally self destructive she is. And hey she was right. And yeah not ready for marriage and came on to be Netflix famous.
Prediction for final: this is not a stretch with the public photos but she dates Josh until they messily implode and she stars on one of the hot girl summer dating shows this summer. Marshall I assume we never hear from again, he’s coming out of this experience I assume feeling angry and emasculated and based on that flash of inappropriate aggression he showed in the pods when Jackie was considering choosing Josh I expect he will be off putting and aggressive and defensive at the finale. Tiff/Brett - hopefully happily married with the first LIB baby in her womb at the reunion. Micah/Paul - god so boring. She’s just a nasty person and he’s a normal boring guy. I honestly am not entirely sure what will happen but it’s clear to me that Micah makes all her choices based on how other people think about her. My gut says they do not get married. But I assume the breakup is not that vicious. I think Micah will be trying to make herself small at the reunion after all the public blowback to her entire personality and that Paul may even be defensive of her. Chelsea/Kwame - I think they actually go through with it based only on the fact that his sibs showed up. I think they are like Colleen/Matt though and seem unhappy at the reunion. The shopping thing was awful but also seemed like a pre scheduled thing. I think Chelsea doesn’t want to air dirty laundry on camera and that she’s more real with him when they are alone based on a lot of what he says. I think he clearly is really actually considering going through with it based on his general angst. But meaningful Ghanaian gestures coming from his sister? I think they say yes. They are caught up in the moment. And even if he says he’s grown up, he’s a clearly used to a domineering woman making big life decisions for him. Maybe Chelsea is just like his mom and Kwame and Paul are two sides of the same coin. Zack/Bliss - 50/50 if they actually go through with the wedding but I’d put money on them still being together at the reunion. If they say no it’s not because they aren’t interested in each other it’s because they realize this is nuts and decide to take it more slowly. They have yin to each other’s yang. I see why people find Zack off putting but I quite like him. He’s cerebral but honest and kind and I think genuine. And Bliss isn’t being pushed around I think she’s just anxious about being portrayed as plan b on National TV. |
| Also Bliss’s dad was extremely rude IMO and I think they have a very strained relationship. |
What?!?!?! Oh no I liked Paul! DrLib |
