Preface - I watched this in the background during work so I wasnt 100% paying attention, I may not be 100% correct on all...

Emma & Mike
I really like Emma. I love listening to her talk, she is so eloquent and well spoken. I can't believe she turned down the dude who was so/so on kids AND willing for adoption. She was really irresponsible IMO to choose a man who desperately wants kids. Same to Mike, he shouldn't have chosen someone on the fence when he says he's so sure. I actually liked his family, and I think they brought up great questions. These are fundamental differences that dont just work themselves out in a few weeks.

Christine & Vic
I like both of them. Just normal, stable, boring. I hope they make it.

Amber & Jordan
I like both of them. I love Amber for being a girls girl. I cant imagine dating with a child let alone going on this kind of show with a child, so I'm sure it's tough on her. Idk how you can marry someone without meeting their kid though. Jordan is kind of meh, but he seems to really like her. Going from not wanting kids to being a stepdad is a huge change. Idk.

Bri & Conner
I like both of them. I disagree with some pps' view of Bri. I do think she was a bit condescending about the frat house, but like, it was kind of gross lol. Yes, she was entertaining the convo at the bar too long, but I'm assuming they were all chatting a lot, all night. So they edited hours of footage into this blurb that looked like she was just hanging around. She said in mexico that everyone/thing felt so shallow after being so deep and vulnerable with these people. Connor was thinking that she wasn't "over" the other people, but I think she just needed some closure on the emotional side of the experiment. Connor, I hope his insecurities don't get in the way. He seems to shut down instead of communicating. It's weird to see Bri talking about "omg Chris texted me this" and showing the girls, and then you see Connor just go up and hug this guy? He's clearly aware of what's happening, so I don't get the pretend buddy buddy schtick.

Jessica & Chris
Same goes for Chris above. Again, feeling very shallow and fake by hugging the dude who you are making fun of and trying to steal his girl. Jessica is just an overall badass. Love her. Chris just doesn't deserve much thought. He's a loser AH. Are short men more likely to be red pilled? Idk. Also his comment to Bri - "when I saw you I knew I'd made a mistake, because you are a woman I'd propose to" or whatever. Does he know what show hes on? Love is BLIND? Just shows how shallow and superficial he is.

Ashley & Alex
I don't think they will make it. Their fights are so dumb and trivial. They can't discuss anything like normal people. Why is he freaking out over water bottles being rearranged? It was so weird to hear him tell the story of his dad constantly moving, having multiple families. Then his mom constantly on the move. Then him on the move. I'm no psychologist, but it sounds like he has abandonment issues and over compensates by being the one to leave. His dating history is also a little sketchy and unclear. I don't think Ashley got the full truth. Ashley also just seems really immature. I'm also not convinced about his job. He's like "yeah I can get a job anywhere" and then talks about how he worked at a gym, on a fishing boat, etc doing all this random crap. Idk how much his settlement or inheritance or whatever was, but it seems like he's a "nomad" who lives pay check to pay check, cobbling together whatever few PT jobs he can.

Brittany & Devo
I love brittany and I hate devo. He looks mixed but he keeps talking about her ethnicity. He shuts down instead of communicating. He pouted when he wasn't getting sex. He turned her asking for comfort/validation into an attack on her. I hated how welcoming her family was to him because I don't think he deserves it. I don't even think he likes her very much.

This is a bit of a side tangent, but seeing some of the women on this show begging for attraction is so sad. Like Brittany and Ashley are complete opposites, easily 10s in their own categories. Yet, both of their partners seem to want the other! Alex keeps b****ing that he wants the brown eyed brunette, and Devo talking about how he usually dates white girls. So annoying that they've got these gorgeous girls and they are feeling like they aren't enough.

I do NOT like that guy, he's a total ass, but he's an Ohio 8, if he was taller, lost some of his belly fat, he'd be a 10. He is CUTE. He's not even an LA 5, like an LA 7.

Seriously? He is homely looking with a bad body. Anyone who brags about working out that much and shames women for not working out better look gorgeous with a six pack and great biceps. This is the type of guy who can come up to a 7 with a GREAT personality, and he has a shitty one so it's not happening.

Really? I thought he was too welcoming, when Devonta did nothing to deserve that. He could have been warm without laying down the full red carpet for some guy he doesn't even know.

Loved how Brittany’s dad welcomed him and called him brother

Green eyes

You are wrong

I know a guy that is not good looking and very meh personality. He's married to an objectively beautiful woman and I'm hoping she didn't just fall for his green eyes.

Gah!

You can keep your Ohio 8

I can't look past his teapot ears

Maybe just a bad picture? And lose weight? He admittedly goes to the gym. And this is as good as he can achieve? He'll be huge as he gets older.

She’s exhausting. I like Steven a lot. So glad he stood up for himself when she tried to frame him as the villain.

I don’t think she’s exhausting. She needed to tell every date her story and producers did her wrong by making it seem repetitive: it would not have been to the guys, but certainly draining for her.

Plus one

She comes off as sensible and responsible to me.

We have an adopted child of different skin color and ethnicity of origin (I don”t use the term “race” because on a scientific level there is no such thing as different human races - just different skin colors, ethnicities, and geological ancestry where certain traits developed over time for survival purposes - such as people whose ancestors lived in Africa or the tropics being more prone to sickle cell anemia as an adaptive protection against contracting malaria).

Anyway, in our experience, despite all the love in the world, there are complex identity and medical issues that come up for children adopted from other countries/cultures and with different skin colors than the rest of the family.

I’m not sure why doing the 23 and me genetic medical testing is not being discussed. You can opt to keep all the results private and they give very specific detailed info on predispositions to many different conditions such as cancer, diabetes, auto immune disorders and more, as well as whether people getting tested are carrying the genes for various genetic disorders. This helped our daughter and her doctor to navigate medical decisions more clearly.

I’m not sure why she’s acting like there’s no such thing as genetic testing either. Maybe she doesn’t agree with it or maybe she wants attn

Knowing your gene profile does NOT tell you what medical conditions your birth family had.

Maybe she is apprehensive about what it will reveal, or doesn't want to open the door to finding her bio parents by doing it...It's really her personal choice and not something she needs to discuss with her fiance she's obviously going to dump or his rude family.

Not to mention, I would never trust private genetic testing. They can sell your info anywhere. Is it 23 and Me that is already a mess because they went bankrupt?

And anyway, what if genetic testing finds something serious? Then, her fiancé is going to dump her because she solidified that she doesn’t want kids? No way.

It’s sort of stupid anyway, lots of couples think they will have kids and then have fertility issues etc. Sure, some get divorced for that reason, but many others readjust expectations and stay with the person they fell in love with.
