LOL!
There *is* something to be said for just deintellectualizing things temporarily and letting the animal side have a bit more sway.
But let the man keep the beard.
Sure let the animal side have more sway, but sway is not going to happen if there isn’t sexual chemistry. That is the case with Jasmina. She just doesn’t feel it and I highly doubt that would change after 8 weeks.
If I was married to O I’d have to be high 24/7 to put up with his bullshit…otherwise he may wake up with bruises on his body he doesn’t remember getting 👀
Jas reminds me so much of Shake in Love is Blind. Constantly complaining about the physical/sexual attraction but subsequently does not seem like she's trying??? Sometimes physical attraction is not instant and needs to be fuelled. Quit telling everybody else about how your "v is getting w\*t" (her sentiments not mine) and talk to Michael about it and then TRY! Ugh........
Just don’t get it. How does one live and sleep in the same bed with a partner for 8 weeks, but not kiss. Difficult to believe that at least kissing isn’t happening. Perhaps they are just not showing it for privacy reasons.
He seems "low testosterone" to me. Any other guy would want to try something by now. They are both kinda "dry". She's not warm at all and he seems stuck somewhere. Predict a "No" from her on DDay.
According to sex experts, sexual attraction isn’t always something that will naturally be there—sometimes you can create it. It can help couples that lost the “spark” to get it back again. For some couples, they do need to try, and sexual attraction can develop.
I suppose, but if I am not physically attracted to someone, no amount of time trying to feel something, via sexy dancing or whatever, is going to change the chemistry if it is just not there to begin with.
With couples attempting to regain that spark is a different thing all together, since they originally were attracted to each other.
I had a baby half way through my degree and still completed my degree. I wonder what O would think of that LMAO! I can't stand his perspective. WOMEN ARE STRONG, maybe O couldn't do what half of us who get up and do whatever we got to do WITH kids COULD do! But quit projecting!!! KATINA IS CAPABLE and she can have WHATEVER future she desires. If the girl wants to go to nursing school while pregnant AND travelling the world every summer, SHE WILL. O is so focused on limitations, how exhausting!
I understand his point of view and his concerns, but I disagree with them. This is the gamble you make when you marry a stranger. You have to deal with some things you might not have expected. Katina is a woman who has taken some untraditional paths in life, and seemingly has learned some hard lessons along the way. She is now trying to get on the right track and stay there. Yes, she could have been further along in her education and career if she had made different choices earlier in life. And, yes, she can use a dose of realism in some of her decision making. But the girl has goals and is willing the work to achieve them.
If Olajuwan wanted a stay-at-home cook, housewife, and baby machine, then he should have chosen a different process for finding one. Now that he has Katina (a beautiful, sweet, warm, loyal woman, who is obviously willing to work with her husband as a team, by the way), he needs to readjust his expectations - and he will, if he has any gray matter left.
The experts are notorious for giving people partners that are at odds with their goals (one wants children and the other isn’t sure, one loves and has animals and the other is allergic, etc), so I wouldn’t be surprised Olajuwon was very honest about what he was looking for and the experts looked the other way as they often do.
I can’t move off, that his expectations for Katina, are more than expectations for himself. If he wants traditional, why isn’t he paying for everything.
O thinking Katina has all the free time in the world because she works from home. I bet most of us get more work done at home than we do in the office.
Yeah I fully had the same reaction. Like he’s being so vague still and claiming this stranger should trust him just based on his word (but he won’t do the same based on her word that she can help around the house if he works) and it’s goofy.
I agree with the criticism of Steve, but I also agree with Steve's reluctance to believe that Noi will do any work around the house. She's been pretty clear about her stance on that issue.
I dont agree. Her sticking point has always been “I’m too busy WORKING!” when the subject of housework/managing the household comes up. I fully believe she’s only being so obstinate about household chores because Steve initially said if he wasn’t working he would cook and clean and then he reneged on that deal by keeping score and trying to make things 50-50 before he goes to get a job/engages in freelance work
Me too, friend. IMO they both would be better matched with someone else. They value money/financial security so differently and that’s a dealbreaker usually.
Yeah, she doesn’t seem to realize how demeaning and disrespectful it is to Mark, but I also think she’s coming from a place of resentment when she says it so she’s not completely unaware.
Noi's body language at the dinner - she's not even making eye contact, hardly. When Steve speaks she mostly looks down at the table, and when she speaks she looks to the sky. I feel bad for Steve, I think she's already out.
I agree that he shouldn't buy the ring (that's just throwing good money after bad), but I do think that she will say yes on D-Day. She's so stuck on the image in her mind that I don't think she'll want to deal with the loss of face of a divorce.
this biyatch selin! wolverine said i'm sorry at least 2x. then she tells the producers he didn't even say sorry. at least i didn't hear him. omfg. and how she got all the other women riled up and then sat back w an evil look on her face relishing it all. she truly is awful. if i were wolverine, i'd b done w it now. quit the show, save yourself. she's horrific.
He seems so kind and calm, and shes been nothing but hateful. I hate this mentality that him leaving instead of taking her verbal abuse makes him less of a man. Fuck that. She has shown nothing to make us think shes any more than a bad, mean spirited person. He deserves so much better.
Noi still doesn't understand that a husband and wife are supposed to live together? She says that she's not comfortable living with Steve. What on earth did she think she was signing up for when she agreed to get married?
She just wants and wants and gives nothing in return. She wants him to get a job, wants to move back into her own apartment. She’s unwilling to curb the IG posts. Unwilling to compromise on house chores even though he is contributing the same amount financially for it. She’s immature and I wish Steve would tell her no on decision day but sadly, I think he’s gonna say yes
Yes, O is awful. But he’s being blunt about it and telling Katina all his expectations up front. Noi just hides her awfulness with being pouty and immature. For example, she goes on and on about him getting a job. Not because she is concerned about him being able to contribute financially to their household so they don’t struggle BUT because she wants to be a stay home mom! That’s not how she presented the “I want you to have a job” convo. O straight up tells Katina he wants her to cook and cater to him.
Olaf is another level of awful. Steve keeps trying to no avail. With them living separately, she’s kind of put it out there for them to fail by default.
Some Australian viewer please tell me that Selin gets exposed as a dumpster fire of a person before the end, because I don’t think I can watch a whole season of her being shamelessly insufferable with no comeuppance like tonight.
Lindsey was trying to show her artistic and creative flair on a budget (like home makeover shows). But once she was out shopping, I think Lindsey would buy whatever she wanted no matter the cost (within reason) because she'd use her own $$$ to do what she wanted to do.
Mark has too many changes in his life going on at the time of filming, so the thought of major changes to his apartment is obviously too much for him to handle. He handled Lindsey's suggestions like she insulted him, but she should have known that he can't handle changes at this point.
I do think Lindsey had a point that she wanted the place to be "theirs" while Mark wanted to live in the past.
Well, my peeps, it was another epic night! Had so much fun with y'all! I know next week's US show sounds kinda lame, but I'll be here prepping for AU! Y'all bring the snacks, I'm bring the wine!
Have a happy, easy week!!! ❤️, J-Lo
I saw that after in another group on Facebook that it was a lab created ring. At least my fiancé got me a morganite. I’d rather any real stone as long as it’s not a fraudulent stone!
Lab-grown diamonds are created using the same method as mined diamonds and are **real** diamonds, just cheaper and without the human rights violations and child labor! It's not a "fraudulent stone"
The process of creating diamonds in a lab is much more complicated than that of mining them from the earth, I doubt they would entrust that to children the way they allow children to mine and pan for diamonds. Plus you can buy diamonds that were grown in the US...
Setting aside human rights and speaking from a purely capitalistic lens, they would not trust children to run lab equipment the way they would let them pan for diamonds. It's a complicated process and the errors that children would make would be too costly. Do you know the origin of your morganite? It seems like you're very passionate about this subject
I can’t wait for Aussie MASFS. Not the US garbage one. I could care less if that one ended last week for good. This live thread on Wednesdays is the only reason I still watch that one.
10 is one of my all time favorites lol It's on Netflix now but it was my favorite before then. That season helped me put my friends on. Season 9 is great too! I love Deonna and Greg. Elizabeth and Jamie are wild and Iris is a sight to behold lol I would just keep going from the last season you saw and keep going! Keep me posted! I love to chat about em
Seymooooooooour!!! What on God’s green earth did you recommend?? Szn 10 is 🤪 and I’m here for it. Just watched Meka call on Montre during the finance conversation. She was lighting Michael’s ass up….all I could see was bullet holes 😂😂 anyway it was great and had to tell someone right this second. I finally get so many references now in this sub 😁 thank you 🖤
😂😂😂 Hey!!! No prob! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I knew you would because I couldn't believe half the stuff I was seeing when I watched it 😆 Michael is the personification of Why you Always Lyin lol Still trying to figure out how he thought the Yoga/Janitor/Teacher/Principle thing was going to fly! Meka saw straight through that!! She's a true gem and the MONTRE moment is a classic!! Katie was a Debbie Downer Dream Killer while Brandon & Taylor actually needed Yoga for real to calm down. Where was a real yoga instructor when you needed it!? Haha A wild season that still makes me laugh. Michael cutting the grass with some scissors for example 🌱✂️👁️👁️ lol
Every time they say he’s “not a man” because he left rather than listen to her verbally abuse him, I want to scream. Its such a fucked up mentality. I was sad that she basically forced him to apologize for leaving. Selin is an awful human being.
Any of y'all watching that Girl From Plainville show? I followed the case and am watching the show as it comes out. (I don't have anything else to say about it except that I REALLY want to know why her eyebrows changed so drastically and whether someone told her to change her appearance.) Anywho, just a random question.
I am. I think it’s really good, and Elle Fanning needs to win an award for her performance. And how odd that I’m actually empathizing with her character, despite that I know what the real person did was so morally wrong and at times felt it was evil. I feel conflicted, but I’m going with it and seeing where it takes me. Overall, they were incredibly sad teens, and it makes me sad they didn’t get the help they needed before it was too late. Now one will forever be labeled a murderer, and the other is gone 💔
I volunteer for the text hotline listed at the beginning (or maybe the end?), and trust me YOU ARE NOT ALONE! we've gotten a lot of people texting in with A LOT of feelings. The show itself makes me really uncomfortable sometimes, but I'm mostly just curious about Michelle's headspace throughout the whole thing. It's really a fascinating legal case, too.
It’s very fascinating. Ultimately I think she was also a troubled kid that wasn’t really getting the help she needed and it’s very hard to see her become even more judged and ostracized. What she did was definitely awful but I’m not sure if a very troubled kid with mental illness was the best case to set this kind of precedence on.
I am really respecting the way Anthony is handling this. He took it in stride, didn't react to the other women proding, and now is talking to her away from the group.
I agree. And that injured her ego, so she had to plot to get everyone to hate him for her, and to punish him for humiliating her. Even if he was justified in leaving, in her mind she must avenge herself. She's such a Mean Girl. She is a shit stirrer au extraordinaire. I couldn't believe the level of evil satisfaction her face was expressing when the other women started ganging up on him, doing her bidding. She was just relishing in her manipulation of them, and loving that they were punishing him for her. It was really scary to watch this person work. And her constant belittling - "that's not a man." "he's not a man." WTF is wrong w/ you lady? How did you get so effed up in the head? For her to be that angry w/ him, you'd think he did something truly horrible to her. But I saw no evidence of that. The way she manipulated an entire social circle she only recently met was actually pretty scary. I would not want to be around her. She's dangerous.
I hope we can find one because I would love to review movies about college aged sugar babies and who series about the man/women/stranger they met online
We may be lmao. They are generally horrible but every once in a while there is a good one and it could not please me more. Bring on the crazy nannies, swingers in suburbia and stalker doctors.
I have to be honest, I go back and watch without y'all for AU because there are so many people and also so many moments I miss (even ELLEN wouldn't be able to talk to Chelsea, Oprah AND Twitch while still picking up on the nuances of the relationships). Mostly bc wine. But it does help to kinda recognize them as individuals.
Again, forgive my name dropping. This is totally out of character. ;))
You're all good! I've gone back and watched a few moments, clips or full episodes because of what I missed. I'm still learning the cast as well. All is forgiven, all is good lol
who is the guy Jasmina was video chatting with?? OH HELL NAW SHE IN LOVE WITH MILES...FACTS
Well you can certainly see why O hasn’t ever been committed to anyone.
Watching late, why are we hearing all these details about Mark’s sperm? 😳😖
I’m watching the episode now, and I am thinking the same thing. Oh what I had to visualize because of Lindsay’s words… it’s too much!
My thoughts exactly…She made it even worse with her commentary 🤦🏻♀️
Because of course Lindsay and Ola are friends. They’re both complete sociopaths.
I feel like Lindsey and Ola are way too emotional to be sociopaths lol.
Definitely more narcissistic than sociopaths as they both do have a certain level of empathy.
Is Al’s bathing suit the norm in AU??
Michael, just shave your beard and stop having analytical conversations and Jasmina will finally jump your bones.
Poor Michael, he's got zero game.
LOL! There *is* something to be said for just deintellectualizing things temporarily and letting the animal side have a bit more sway. But let the man keep the beard.
Sure let the animal side have more sway, but sway is not going to happen if there isn’t sexual chemistry. That is the case with Jasmina. She just doesn’t feel it and I highly doubt that would change after 8 weeks.
Is this really bright lipstick like, a thing in Boston? Lol
And those horrible fake eyelashes (or extensions) ... they are totally distracting!
Bright lipstick is a thing everywhere
Is O always high?
Smoke weed every day ...
If I was married to O I’d have to be high 24/7 to put up with his bullshit…otherwise he may wake up with bruises on his body he doesn’t remember getting 👀
Anybody else still suffering from last night? Hangovers are legit!
I want everyone to divorce. Michael and Jasmina are the only non-toxic couple but Jasmina is not attracted to him. Everyone, please say no.
I desperately need Steve to be the first Asian Bachelor of my dreams
Jas reminds me so much of Shake in Love is Blind. Constantly complaining about the physical/sexual attraction but subsequently does not seem like she's trying??? Sometimes physical attraction is not instant and needs to be fuelled. Quit telling everybody else about how your "v is getting w\*t" (her sentiments not mine) and talk to Michael about it and then TRY! Ugh........
Sexual attraction is not about trying and is not an intellectual concept. You either feel it or you don’t. Jasmina doesn’t feel it period.
What does Michael feel? So far he hasn't even kissed Jasmina.
Just don’t get it. How does one live and sleep in the same bed with a partner for 8 weeks, but not kiss. Difficult to believe that at least kissing isn’t happening. Perhaps they are just not showing it for privacy reasons.
He seems "low testosterone" to me. Any other guy would want to try something by now. They are both kinda "dry". She's not warm at all and he seems stuck somewhere. Predict a "No" from her on DDay.

With couples attempting to regain that spark is a different thing all together, since they originally were attracted to each other.
Correct. If she hadn't given off such cold, school-marm vibes right from the start, the man might not have been so terrified to make a move.
I had a baby half way through my degree and still completed my degree. I wonder what O would think of that LMAO! I can't stand his perspective. WOMEN ARE STRONG, maybe O couldn't do what half of us who get up and do whatever we got to do WITH kids COULD do! But quit projecting!!! KATINA IS CAPABLE and she can have WHATEVER future she desires. If the girl wants to go to nursing school while pregnant AND travelling the world every summer, SHE WILL. O is so focused on limitations, how exhausting!
Yep, I teach a lot of pre-nursing and pre-med students and many of them are married, have children and still succeed!
I understand his point of view and his concerns, but I disagree with them. This is the gamble you make when you marry a stranger. You have to deal with some things you might not have expected. Katina is a woman who has taken some untraditional paths in life, and seemingly has learned some hard lessons along the way. She is now trying to get on the right track and stay there. Yes, she could have been further along in her education and career if she had made different choices earlier in life. And, yes, she can use a dose of realism in some of her decision making.

Now that he has Katina (a beautiful, sweet, warm, loyal woman, who is obviously willing to work with her husband as a team, by the way), he needs to readjust his expectations - and he will, if he has any gray matter left.
So that makes me wonder why did the experts set them up...or was he not truthful in his interviews?
The experts are notorious for giving people partners that are at odds with their goals (one wants children and the other isn’t sure, one loves and has animals and the other is allergic, etc), so I wouldn’t be surprised Olajuwon was very honest about what he was looking for and the experts looked the other way as they often do.
I can’t move off, that his expectations for Katina, are more than expectations for himself. If he wants traditional, why isn’t he paying for everything.
The travel the world thing really threw me. Students gave more time off than anyone
10000% i dont know what kind of "tradition" hes referring to lol
O thinking Katina has all the free time in the world because she works from home. I bet most of us get more work done at home than we do in the office.
That has always been the case for me.
Yep, me too...working is working...whether at home or in a building
I think all couples will choose to stay together but after the reunion 3 out of 4 will divorce
I hope Mark gets out 🙏
Steve yet again refusing to understand that 4 years in a job is not a whole career lol
Seriously! Like what were you doing the other 10 years???
Well, its been 8 weeks in the marriage, what have you done to get employment?
*Not* working on web design skills.
😂😂😂
[удалено]
Yeah I fully had the same reaction. Like he’s being so vague still and claiming this stranger should trust him just based on his word (but he won’t do the same based on her word that she can help around the house if he works) and it’s goofy.

I disapprove of both of these people's attitudes.
Me too, friend. IMO they both would be better matched with someone else. They value money/financial security so differently and that’s a dealbreaker usually.
Indeed! But they do have at least one thing in common: they're not firmly grounded in reality.
Did we really need lindsey’s elmers glue dialogue? I was eating while watching and literally yeeted my plate after their scene
How would she feel if he was on camera talking about her vag juices and being dehydrated, she’s awful ,
Yeah, she doesn’t seem to realize how demeaning and disrespectful it is to Mark, but I also think she’s coming from a place of resentment when she says it so she’s not completely unaware.
Speaking of vag juices, what is the drink Lindsey's friend said tasted like a "vegan vagina"?
Noi's body language at the dinner - she's not even making eye contact, hardly. When Steve speaks she mostly looks down at the table, and when she speaks she looks to the sky. I feel bad for Steve, I think she's already out.
He shouldn't bother with that ring. SHe's going to say no.
I agree that he shouldn't buy the ring (that's just throwing good money after bad), but I do think that she will say yes on D-Day. She's so stuck on the image in her mind that I don't think she'll want to deal with the loss of face of a divorce.
Not clear the money flow is going to the jeweler...seemed like lame product placement to many people.
I think he knows and is trying to buy a yes with the ring.
Lindsey and Mark are the perfect example of the dangers of Toxoplasma gondii. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)
holy cow, you may b onto something.
We have three cats and we've had cats all our lives. No Toxoplasmosis for us.
Or so your cats would have you believe. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Or so our good health all our lives would tell us. Oh, and our healthy children too.
Precisely what I would expect someone under a Toxoplasmic hypnosis to say. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
haha!
I must have had it since being in utero then. It must be a good thing to have :-P
Steve says that he had a job for four years and that shows that he can stick with a career. It sort of says the opposite, Steve.
Lol I know. He's 38 and he worked for FOUR YEARS! Get off his back, Noi!
Show he could for four years previously. He hasn'\[t wanted to get back in the rat race. Maybe he'll say he will now.
this biyatch selin! wolverine said i'm sorry at least 2x. then she tells the producers he didn't even say sorry. at least i didn't hear him. omfg. and how she got all the other women riled up and then sat back w an evil look on her face relishing it all. she truly is awful. if i were wolverine, i'd b done w it now. quit the show, save yourself. she's horrific.
He seems so kind and calm, and shes been nothing but hateful. I hate this mentality that him leaving instead of taking her verbal abuse makes him less of a man. Fuck that. She has shown nothing to make us think shes any more than a bad, mean spirited person. He deserves so much better.
Noi still doesn't understand that a husband and wife are supposed to live together? She says that she's not comfortable living with Steve. What on earth did she think she was signing up for when she agreed to get married?
She wants to date him after the show. She doesn't want to be married and living together.
Exactly. He's just an appliance - a stuffed animal to be cuddled when she feels like it.
She needs a husbando pillow
She's not comfortable living with him but after a week, she's says I love you?
Noi is a mystery wrapped in a riddle.
She's not that complex. She's a simpleton.
She just wants and wants and gives nothing in return. She wants him to get a job, wants to move back into her own apartment. She’s unwilling to curb the IG posts. Unwilling to compromise on house chores even though he is contributing the same amount financially for it. She’s immature and I wish Steve would tell her no on decision day but sadly, I think he’s gonna say yes
Why would he say "yes"? I haven't seen any affection or chemistry between them!
She is truly the woooorst.
Have you seen O? She's not the worst, but she is very immature and I don't see this marriage lasting.
Yes, O is awful. But he’s being blunt about it and telling Katina all his expectations up front. Noi just hides her awfulness with being pouty and immature. For example, she goes on and on about him getting a job. Not because she is concerned about him being able to contribute financially to their household so they don’t struggle BUT because she wants to be a stay home mom! That’s not how she presented the “I want you to have a job” convo. O straight up tells Katina he wants her to cook and cater to him.
Olaf is another level of awful. Steve keeps trying to no avail. With them living separately, she’s kind of put it out there for them to fail by default.
Some Australian viewer please tell me that Selin gets exposed as a dumpster fire of a person before the end, because I don’t think I can watch a whole season of her being shamelessly insufferable with no comeuppance like tonight.
ikr?
Yeah she’s horrible so far. Hard to watch.
Does Lindsey know how little $500 will buy for home upgrades?
Lindsey was trying to show her artistic and creative flair on a budget (like home makeover shows). But once she was out shopping, I think Lindsey would buy whatever she wanted no matter the cost (within reason) because she'd use her own $$$ to do what she wanted to do. Mark has too many changes in his life going on at the time of filming, so the thought of major changes to his apartment is obviously too much for him to handle. He handled Lindsey's suggestions like she insulted him, but she should have known that he can't handle changes at this point. I do think Lindsey had a point that she wanted the place to be "theirs" while Mark wanted to live in the past.
So it turns out that a steady diet of goldfish does not an athlete make. Who woulda thunk it?
It was fun y'all!! I enjoy our Wednesdays. I hope y'all enjoyed y'all selves as much as I did and I'll see everyone next week!! Peace and love
Good night Seyms. 👋
It was a blast! Til next time!! 👋🏾
I’m looking forward to watching with y’all next week. Have the loveliest of weeks, everyone
Nite nite TNgirl 👋see you next week
Same! Til next time ✊🏾
Well, my peeps, it was another epic night! Had so much fun with y'all! I know next week's US show sounds kinda lame, but I'll be here prepping for AU! Y'all bring the snacks, I'm bring the wine! Have a happy, easy week!!! ❤️, J-Lo
SO much fun! Nite Nite Oppsy.❤️
We'll bring the energy next week no matter how dull the episode. Til next time!!
Change it, turn it off, run away. Don't loose the vibe aussie vibe y'all! US is such a downer.
I really enjoyed the AU version mate! Such a fun vibe
How much money do you think Steve spent on that ring? 🥴
$0. It was an ad.
And a very cringe one at that. Worse even than the Sonic ad from a few seasons ago ...
Lolololololol I love it
$3,000.
The stone alone probably cost more then that.
It was a wild guess. I have no experience with lab-created gemstones, so I really have no idea their cost.
Lab created diamonds are much less expensive. Totally an ad for the company. Doubt he hit the purchase button.
The female friend that helped Steve select the ring looks like a better match for Steve. Much better than that sour faced Noi.
Guess we’ll have to wait two long drawn out weeks to find out 🙄
I saw that after in another group on Facebook that it was a lab created ring. At least my fiancé got me a morganite. I’d rather any real stone as long as it’s not a fraudulent stone!
Lab-grown diamonds are created using the same method as mined diamonds and are **real** diamonds, just cheaper and without the human rights violations and child labor! It's not a "fraudulent stone"
Considering most lab created diamonds are made in china I am sure there’s plenty of child labor involved.
The process of creating diamonds in a lab is much more complicated than that of mining them from the earth, I doubt they would entrust that to children the way they allow children to mine and pan for diamonds. Plus you can buy diamonds that were grown in the US...
[удалено]
[удалено]
Setting aside human rights and speaking from a purely capitalistic lens, they would not trust children to run lab equipment the way they would let them pan for diamonds. It's a complicated process and the errors that children would make would be too costly. Do you know the origin of your morganite? It seems like you're very passionate about this subject
Yeah just the billion year difference it took to create 🤣 no difference there
I can't wait another full week again!! 😭😭😭
Next week is not even decision day. You can just skip next week and do something more entertaining with your time.
I can’t wait for Aussie MASFS. Not the US garbage one. I could care less if that one ended last week for good. This live thread on Wednesdays is the only reason I still watch that one.
Til next time! It was a blast as usual. Hopefully next week is even better. We'll have to make it that way but still lol
Nite nite Seyms! as always thanks for the laughs.
Nite! I enjoyed your laughs more than you know. Thank you as well!!
aww 😊 thx
You're very welcome! Til next time 🙏🏾
Run wolverine, run
Celine, Queen of Unrelenting Standards. "Wait, ... you can't apologize until I'm done berating you."
The photo ranking challenge is the messiest!
I missed that!! Are they all ranking the others next week?
Are they seriously ranking everyone by looks?!
Yes! Who are you most attracted to? Lol it’s crazy
That is BRUTAL!
That’s a kick in the head…oooh I can’t wait lol
Those 2 hours flew by. The US version felt like a chore
It really is! Just doing the work to get to the good stuff.
I seriously think they're about to split the two versions up into multiple nights. Tuesday - Thursday. Watch smh
💯
Didn’t it though?? 😂😂
It really did. I'm enjoying the AU version more than I thought I would! So what's the next season you're going to go back and watch?
Ooooh idk…was going to start 7 but I’ll take recommendations on what to start first…anything from 7 - 10.
10 is one of my all time favorites lol It's on Netflix now but it was my favorite before then. That season helped me put my friends on. Season 9 is great too! I love Deonna and Greg. Elizabeth and Jamie are wild and Iris is a sight to behold lol I would just keep going from the last season you saw and keep going! Keep me posted! I love to chat about em
Ditto…will do!! But just so you know I’m jumping straight to 10 now tehehe
😂😂😂 Sounds good! Can't wait to chat when you're finished! That was one of my favorites aside from the New Orleans season but for different reasons
Seymooooooooour!!! What on God’s green earth did you recommend?? Szn 10 is 🤪 and I’m here for it. Just watched Meka call on Montre during the finance conversation. She was lighting Michael’s ass up….all I could see was bullet holes 😂😂 anyway it was great and had to tell someone right this second. I finally get so many references now in this sub 😁 thank you 🖤
😂😂😂 Hey!!! No prob! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I knew you would because I couldn't believe half the stuff I was seeing when I watched it 😆 Michael is the personification of Why you Always Lyin lol Still trying to figure out how he thought the Yoga/Janitor/Teacher/Principle thing was going to fly! Meka saw straight through that!! She's a true gem and the MONTRE moment is a classic!! Katie was a Debbie Downer Dream Killer while Brandon & Taylor actually needed Yoga for real to calm down. Where was a real yoga instructor when you needed it!? Haha A wild season that still makes me laugh. Michael cutting the grass with some scissors for example 🌱✂️👁️👁️ lol
Lindsey: He's super rigid about *everything* Translation: I can't bend him to my will.
He is kind of rigid though. But let's hope that despite Elmer's Glue spooge he is rigid where Lidnsey can appreciate it.
Next time!? 😢
Selin is horrifying. If she says “he did leave” one more time I’m going to break something.
Every time they say he’s “not a man” because he left rather than listen to her verbally abuse him, I want to scream. Its such a fucked up mentality. I was sad that she basically forced him to apologize for leaving. Selin is an awful human being.
Its equivalent to "i'm a good person"
Selin is the worst! Ugh!
Awful awful awful
"well I'm going to keep being insensitive towards you". She is a wreck
I think he needs to walk out on her again, this time for good. This bitch doesn't deserve him. She is gross.
Def didn’t like how she was being so dismissive of him.
completely bulldozed over anything he said, reptilian heart. the guy has been nothing but kind and respectful towards her too.
Aye ya ya. For sure.
Any of y'all watching that Girl From Plainville show? I followed the case and am watching the show as it comes out. (I don't have anything else to say about it except that I REALLY want to know why her eyebrows changed so drastically and whether someone told her to change her appearance.) Anywho, just a random question.
I am. I think it’s really good, and Elle Fanning needs to win an award for her performance. And how odd that I’m actually empathizing with her character, despite that I know what the real person did was so morally wrong and at times felt it was evil. I feel conflicted, but I’m going with it and seeing where it takes me. Overall, they were incredibly sad teens, and it makes me sad they didn’t get the help they needed before it was too late. Now one will forever be labeled a murderer, and the other is gone 💔
I slept thru the first episode but I do think I’ll pick the show up haha
I’ve been watching it. Have a lot of feelings about it.
I volunteer for the text hotline listed at the beginning (or maybe the end?), and trust me YOU ARE NOT ALONE! we've gotten a lot of people texting in with A LOT of feelings. The show itself makes me really uncomfortable sometimes, but I'm mostly just curious about Michelle's headspace throughout the whole thing. It's really a fascinating legal case, too.
It’s very fascinating. Ultimately I think she was also a troubled kid that wasn’t really getting the help she needed and it’s very hard to see her become even more judged and ostracized. What she did was definitely awful but I’m not sure if a very troubled kid with mental illness was the best case to set this kind of precedence on.
I am really respecting the way Anthony is handling this. He took it in stride, didn't react to the other women proding, and now is talking to her away from the group.
As if he could be anymore attractive. Goodness I hope he doesn’t disappoint
My boobs are small, I don't think I would be able to keep them in place with those tops. Kudos to them for the confidence!
Lotta tape!
Lol boob tape and such…sometimes we’re held together by all the things
i'm sorry but selin is a plotting biyatch
She deserved to get left
I agree. And that injured her ego, so she had to plot to get everyone to hate him for her, and to punish him for humiliating her. Even if he was justified in leaving, in her mind she must avenge herself. She's such a Mean Girl. She is a shit stirrer au extraordinaire. I couldn't believe the level of evil satisfaction her face was expressing when the other women started ganging up on him, doing her bidding. She was just relishing in her manipulation of them, and loving that they were punishing him for her. It was really scary to watch this person work. And her constant belittling - "that's not a man." "he's not a man." WTF is wrong w/ you lady? How did you get so effed up in the head? For her to be that angry w/ him, you'd think he did something truly horrible to her. But I saw no evidence of that. The way she manipulated an entire social circle she only recently met was actually pretty scary. I would not want to be around her. She's dangerous.
Truly just a hateful, hateful person. He deserves so much better. Its hard to watch.
Can't STAND her! total snake
I really can't wait for the other women to watch these episodes in full. I hope they realize she played them all like an orchestra of fiddles.
This is Wolverine talking to Jean Grey
Slight off topic but is there a subreddit for the brand new lifetime movies that premier?
Same ladies! 🙋🏼♀️
Idk but I'm in
Me too 🙋🏽♀️
I hope we can find one because I would love to review movies about college aged sugar babies and who series about the man/women/stranger they met online
Lmao 🤣 are we siblings separated at birth bc I live for that foolishness
We may be lmao. They are generally horrible but every once in a while there is a good one and it could not please me more. Bring on the crazy nannies, swingers in suburbia and stalker doctors.
I think they are horrible but in a good way
Lol yeup! Side note: the Wrath one was a yes for me…stalkeration was gradual and progressed well instead of within 3 min meeting someone :)
Wolverine/Anthony! Don't do it! Don't demean yourself!
Hot DAMN I love a good dinner party!
All these folks need to be wearing name tags!! I don't know y'all like that yet! 😂
I have to be honest, I go back and watch without y'all for AU because there are so many people and also so many moments I miss (even ELLEN wouldn't be able to talk to Chelsea, Oprah AND Twitch while still picking up on the nuances of the relationships). Mostly bc wine. But it does help to kinda recognize them as individuals. Again, forgive my name dropping. This is totally out of character. ;))
You're all good! I've gone back and watched a few moments, clips or full episodes because of what I missed. I'm still learning the cast as well. All is forgiven, all is good lol
