Dave is not going to man up. He is only confident when he feels he's better than the woman he's with. Lauren is a strong, confident (sexual) woman who has done nothing wrong and refuses to back down from that. He can't handle it so he's going throw excuse after excuse about "I just need to think it through" so he can ultimately not marry her. Except I hope Lauren refuses to marry him FIRST. He doesn't deserve her. He doesn't need to think this through for a week - even someone diagnosed with low IQ could make a decision about this in less time.

Agree he won’t. He sucks.

Why is she putting up with this nonsense is the real question. She has a "f**k the patriarchy" tatto fhs.

I'm so distracted by Taylor's lips. WHY do women do this to themselves? It never looks like it fits your face!

I believe the more episodes they're on, the more they get paid.

True, they're paid in increments.

I am so happy that Alex dumped Madison.
I think he went with his gut that was warning him she would run, but I think subconsciously he was sensing her manipulative nature.
He and Mason should be bros for life and I hope Mason and Meg get a second chance.


Seems like Madison was torn between Alex and Mason but when she got Mason to “validate” her by telling him that another guy was validating her more, she didn’t really want Mason. She just wanted to know she was “winning” and he was choosing her over Meg. She wanted Alex more but then decided to torch Masons chances with Meg because her ego needed Meg to know that Mason wanted her more.

I think that didn’t sit well with Alex because he’s an empathetic guy and didn’t like that she was being so vindictive.
Like they all literally just met 10 days prior. Why were her feelings so hurt that Mason was trying to backpedal to save face?

Narcissistic sociopath and Alex wants to ignore it but he can’t.

I'm a little worried Monica's sister might be right about Joey. Time will tell.

Watching Lauren take David's abuse is triggering, man. I honestly do not understand it. He is so gross. Shades of Colleen and Matt, but much much worse. There have been multiple allusions to their not being physical, so clearly very significant issues. Why is this awfullness being dragged out?

I do think Daniel and Taylor are the only couple who will end up getting married. Too many red flags, or absence of romance, with the other couples.

Probably. But I also think he totally followed then unfollowed her on Insta. He did not deny it. Although that's not great, at all, I guess it's minor compared to the other transgressions coming to light.

Am I the only one who thinks the Insta thing is nbd? I could envision myself being curious and taking a look if mutual friends mentioned a particular name had been cast. Doesn't go with the rules of the show, but pretty human. His love of Christmas is clearly legit and is it so odd a 20something guy loves Taco Bell lol? Was there something I missed that was actually sus?

To me this reads as producer-generated. They have to introduce some drama and suspense with the couples that are clearly the most solid. And I do think they're the most solid.

To me it’s a huge deal bc he knew she was hot and then could have easily tailored their convos to make it appear they had things in common just so she would feel drawn to him. It’s a great way to get chosen and go on a tropical vacay and get paid for it! So yeah it’s dishonest and completely misses the point of the experience. Plus it’s creepy.

Erm, he is VERY problematic. Google it.

It's out of bounds to put them on the spot about kids, it's an outdated mindset to talk about how her daughter needs to be taken care of 100%, and it's undermining to their adulthood to treat them like kids who she is still in charge of. Her jealousy and me-me-me-ness comes through when she talks about how it's a drawback for them to have two nice famlies in that they will compete. I know there's editing here, but it really made me bristle in a Monster-In-Law way. Maybe she is overcome with fear that her husband is ill. He seems good and I hope his health resolves and she can CHILL. In contrast, Daniel's parents seem so kind and appropriate and healthy about the ways they relate to their adult children. I thought Daniel and Taylor handled it all so well. Rooting for them (but guessing they don't make it because I have the internet).

She freaked me out. They will have problems with her.

Did anyone else think it was weird that Taylor's parents welcomed Daniel's parents, who seemed to drive at LEAST an hour if not more, to their home and they didn't seem to offer them any drinks or snacks? If I were meeting people I'd be somewhat connected to for the rest of my life, I'd at least put out a small tray of things to nibble on, offer everyone water or something. So inhospitable.

I agree with previous poster that Dave will be disappointed in the teacher, because he uses "negs" and thinks he's a player and is likely a big a-hole. He is fake as hell and his relationship with his sister sounds enmeshed.

i

He is sabotaging their relationship because he refuses to believe the woman he claims to love (regarding his previous relationship).

Plus he keeps saying things like “it was such an insignificant thing” but her neglects to add or internalize “for ME” and that shows that he completely dismisses that it was obviously NOT insignificant to the girl.
A truly empathic person would be able to pivot from his own defensiveness and also read the room about what Sara needs to hear and he would be wise to say “I really regret that something I did or didn’t do truly negatively impact someone else that way, and I want to apologize to her and to you for that.”

I know it’s unrealistic but it’s probably what Sara needs.

Also Sara means well but she is unhealthily focused on virtue-signaling her goodness. And her purity testt rt for others will never hold up because people come complete with flaws that she didn’t allow them to have.
And man is her sister’s partner domineering with her opinions. I can see now where Sara feels empowered to quickly judge and condemn others for their thoughts or ways of expressing things—it’s clearly done to Sara by her sisters partner all the time.

They don’t belong together at all.
She is passively controlling and he’s letting her, but it always seems like she is just quietly pushing him to agree with her.
