I watched Decision Day and the reunion this morning. By the end of Decision Day I was celebrating them going 5-5, and then the reunion was a shocker.

I wasn’t surprised by some of the couples splitting, but Josh/Jalyn, and Derrek/Meghann were surprising for me. I got red flags from Josh from the start and the whole “Burning Man is the most important thing in my life” thing was super weird, but after Decision Day I thought they were good. But HE left HER after she even went to Burning Man with him and enjoyed because she wasn’t passionate enough about it?? Like, dude, you’re 31. There’s got to be more to your life than this, and if there’s not, then you’re not ready for marriage. Jalyn deserved much better.

I was surprised by Derek and Meghann, but I also get it. Miscarriages are rough for couples in traditional situations. Under these circumstances, I could see the effect it could have on their relationship. I was hopeful for them, but I could also see signs that they may not be right for each other from the start, like him not really getting how important her dog was to her and him being so hung up on “3 kids 3 kids 3 kids” even though she already expressed she wanted a kid but she wasn’t sure how many.

Chad and Belynda I wasn’t surprised by because he showed a lot of red flags. I’ve seen a lot of speculation that he may have PTSD from being a combat veteran, so I can certainly extend some sympathy to the man as I can only imagine how difficult that is to deal with, but the outbursts, the drinking, and being divorced 3 times already were not good signs. Then when he talked about how he’s an alpha male and not going to play 2nd fiddle to a dog, that was enough to know that definitely wasn’t going to work. Chad needs some therapy and peace, and I hope he gets it, but they were not a good fit.

I don’t blame Pat for leaving Rhonda. She was a lot from the start, and they just weren’t right for each other in terms of their personalities and needs. Pat seemed like a good guy, but he regularly missed cues from Rhonda that she wanted to share things with him and wanted him to ask follow up questions to show he was engaged, and they just went right over his head. But then she’d dress him down for it. He needed someone less overbearing and demanding, and she needed someone a little more assertive who could handle her big personality and also meet her emotional needs.

Will and Brittany I didn’t think would last after Decision Day, but, man, I was really hopeful. I liked both of them a lot and wanted them to work out. I just think they weren’t right for each other. Brittany was cool and could be a great partner, but she was also very insecure and her communication style didn’t jive with Will’s. She would just kind of speak without thinking when she was upset or worried and he was very thoughtful. I think he wanted to make it work, but just couldn’t meet her needs while having his needs met as well.

TL;DR: Josh was a red flag from the beginning and Jalyn was too good for him. I feel bad for Derrek and Meghann. Chad needs help and isn’t ready for marriage. Pat and Rhonda were not a good fit because of their personalities. Will and Brittany were also just not the right fit.

Overall, I’m kind of disappointed with how this season played out and how short it was, but still better than Chicago and Denver. Everything is still better than Denver.

VIBES. COOKED. LIT. Where the hell did they source these people. No one over fifteen talks like this.

Be Adam.

Why is everyone acting like it’s okay to essentially moralize exercise like a fucking psychopath or allow a spouse to be subjected to the abusive idea that he is allowed to dictate her activity level, lifestyle. They are dancing around it instead of telling him flat out he’s a toxic, controlling narcissist or that she should RUN.

I wish the Austrian expert was here to talk to him.

Of course Felipe is calling being intimate with his wife hooking up. It’s not called hooking up when you’re married to them. Can’t say the word here but it’s what Shrek was.

Did anyone catch this jab? When Felipe teased Adam for not caring enough to get changed before the group therapy session and Adam responded "And what did you do before this?" I wholeheartedly believe he was snapping back because the answer was probably "a boatload of cocaine."

Both suck, fight me.

Tori said Felipe’s mom does a lot for him, even decorated his apartment and his dad got him the job (assuming it was the one at microsoft), what if Felipe’s mom signed him up to get married, knowing he was not going to do it for himself.

People looking for the perfect partner are scientifically matched up and married on the spot.

So at E19 when Adam mentioned his "Ex" that met all his sports and competitive requirements I wanted Marissa to say so "Why didn't it work out?" I believe it may have been the same one Paul MADE HIM call that he "wasn't serious" about ( before the wedding). If she was so great why come on the show? I think he was trying to scare Marissa into doing what he wanted. Marissa finally spoke up. Her boundaries were reached, good for her! I personally dont think he's husband material, for now.
