DH and I save those for things we feel really emphatically about.

The constant F bombs were awkward and distracting. I'm all for using the F word, but it was being thrown around in places where it made no sense.

I can honestly say I did not notice this at all. So maybe generational? I didn't get a feeling of too much swearing and can't even remember it much.

^ ^ hence the lusting after Raven and Colleen's 'perfect' bodies.

Huh. I thought the opposite. I'm surprised by how chunky this season's women are, at least for this type of show. Alexa is obese, and Nancy and Zanab have spare tires.

Yeah, in fact I get the distinct impression the fiancés of Nancy and Zanab are not thrilled with their bodies. It bothers me that the guys are having so much sex while expressing dissatisfaction behind the scenes.

Raven is odd and should be casually dating someone who is also immature, not getting married. She thinks highly of her appearance and is under the impression she doesn’t have to learn to communicate or be polite or kind because she is pretty.

SK better not propose

Haha I mean get married. This show is ridiculous

None of us know.

Does Alexa like Brennon? I can't really tell if she's into him or not.

I curse like a sailor as does DH. I barely noticed.

+1 I noticed but it felt refreshing because I'm a curser too. I was thinking, 'Oh this is familiar; they curse like me". But that's around friends/family, I'm not like that in professional settings or with casual acquaintances.

Cole is so drunk while they are playing the games in episode 3. And Zanab is so annoyed.

Raven is clearly not into SK at all. He can do better, he seems like a good guy.

I can't remember other specific examples. Also, do the women like this macho behavior? Even if the men are joking around, there is some truth to it or they wouldn't say it at all.

No, nobody should be saying that. I am wondering if maybe it’s a little bit of a machismo hangover from his culture? Still, not really excusable, but otherwise I think he is a really intelligent and nice guy. And he’s really trying to get to know his very cold, I’m interested if fiancé and make her happy without being over bearing. He’s probably the biggest class act on the show.

I get the same impression of SK although I don’t feel like I really know him that well through what they’ve shown us. I do think he seems like he would be receptive though to someone telling him they aren’t comfortable with that type of language and I don’t think he would close down that conversation or be unwilling to change the way he interacts. Also, aside from the potential of it being cultural I wonder if he perceives raven to be the type of woman who would like that kind of machismo and find it appealing. Especially when another man is interested in her. I definitely see her as this type so I wonder if he does, too, and is trying to win her over. Personally, I am not a big fan of Raven and I do not think she is worth winning over

The last two seasons didn't even have anyone Alexa's size so not sure what you mean.

This is the season 2 cast

There was a fat woman but she wasn't selected by any of the men.
