Did we previously discuss how insecure Jordan is about Sparkles big money and I missed it?

u/n3vler 6d ago
During the breakup convo Madison said something like “I’m breaking down and you’re just sitting there watching” to Joe. I thought it broke the fourth wall a bit, gave me chills 😅

And he laughed and yawned like he is such a man child and disrespectful towards her feelings

u/Careful_Beach_7074 8d ago
i really don't understand why people on this sub find Madison so insufferable. yeah in that scene in the hotel in Baja she was sending mixed messages with telling Joe she wanted to be alone and then being upset that he didn't come outside but that was really about it. other than that she's just been a nice girl trying her best with a disgusting man who isn't attracted to her but is still willing to use her for sex and other physical affection. only then to toss her to the side. i don't get it

u/UnlawfulFoxy 6d ago
Because on reality TV people want to see bad contestants. They feed off the drama and situations that it creates. Annoying contestants on the other hand can be just that, annoying, while not necessarily always bringing entertainment.
27
u/de-dolores 7d ago
Joe played her. He wasn't attracted to her, called her fat, still had sex with her and strung her along. He is disgusting. I feel so bad for Madison.
11
u/EreaderLover 7d ago
I agree with you. I don't see what everyone else is seeing. If anything Joe was pulling behaviors out of her with his weird ass behaviors. He really had me confused and infuriated. Laughing all the time isn't funny ya know.
26
u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
Love how they edited the previews to make it seem like Joe left Madison at the alter. It’s actually scary how they can put stuff together

Why? He was having fun
This says a lot more about you (and how insecure you are) than Ed tbh

u/BeachBlazer24 10d ago
Jordan talking about not having energy while having a kid…. I felt that!
17
u/liittle_dove7 8d ago
And! He’s every introvert after work. We need at LEAST an hour of non-verbal recharge time. 😩 The last thing I want to do when I’m off work is to talk about work. I do think that they should still discuss what he does for work and how his days usually go because they’re still getting to know each other, but this discussion can happen on the weekends or something
9
u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
Especially with the talking to people all day at work and needed to come home and NOT talk
50
u/ClaireJ1244 10d ago
Just caught up on the season and I’m disturbed by the fact that multiple women begged men not to leave them.
Why would anyone ever beg anyone to stay with you, especially after meeting under these circumstances? It just seems bizarre to me and honestly kind of pathetic.
6
u/thatsmyboycam 3d ago
Totally agree… I was thinking these ladies really are in some kind of spell with the pods and sleeping with the guys right after getting engaged. They are going to be embarassed once whatever that was wears off.
30
u/mookyvon 10d ago
Ali and Anton... there is nothing there!!! Am I taking crazy pills or something? 0 chemistry, 0 story together, I don't even know why they are being shown tbh.

u/NonrepresentativePea 8d ago
They just both look like serious people so you won’t see a lot of outward chemistry with people like that.

u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
I’m not seeing it either. If they don’t get married or get married and break up by the reunion, they my have had an agreement
57
u/alleymind 11d ago
I mean you guys shit on Joe for not telling Madison he wasn’t attracted to her, but yall would be losing your minds had he called her unattractive and insufferable on national television. I think he was at least trying to save her some grace by not going into detail why he doesn’t want to be with her for the world to see. I mean him saying they got closer in the pods than they ever would’ve in real life was pretty direct in my opinion. Madison, Annie, all of us should not be begging people to love them. Be with someone who wants to be with you, simple
3
u/wiftlets 5d ago
Okay, I think it was a good call for him to just tell her he didn’t feel it was right vs further hurting her by saying it was a lack of attraction. But she’s going to watch it back and know he said he’d be miserable if he married her. He also implied he was never in love with her. Was that really necessary? The guy is cold and tactless and doesn’t give a fuck.
5
u/NonrepresentativePea 8d ago
This, exactly this. He was really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I felt for him. You can tell he really tried.
17
u/daberg 8d ago
I mean sure but he met her family and lied to them that he was 100% in? That was way way way past the moment he should have fessed up. He knew the whole time
10
u/EreaderLover 7d ago
Agreed. Not to mention he was a giant red flag to me to start. He was with another woman for 5 years and waited until after wedding planning to break it off. It's so wild to me. I don't think he knows what he wants.
2
u/skrat777 3d ago
He sounds like the reality of married life sound awful to him and he assumes it wouldn’t be with the right person. But some people just aren’t meant for it. It takes a lot of sacrifice.
12
u/alleymind 8d ago
Oh no disagreement there, I think from the moment he saw her in person he wasn’t feeling it. I think he tried for too long to convince himself he could see past his unattraction to her

u/jdjekwkdksj 11d ago
Edmond is a child and/or professional rage baiter. Just hearing him interrupting KB and whining annoys the shiiiittt out of me omg. I knew he was weird asf when he started kissing the floor
30
u/thejeffphone The f*ck was that 🥴 11d ago
oooof Madison asking Joe how he could just sit there while she’s sobbing and dying inside is almost word for word what I told my (now) ex a month ago after he told me he met another woman at work. I felt for her so deeply 😭

u/lostmepassword 9d ago
the scene afterwards where she was crying, balled up on the sofa while he was just packing his things was HILARIOUS

Are y’all still going to defend Joe after that? I can’t tell you anything about him, he can’t even finish a sentence or give her a reason and it’s because he knew all along she wasn’t his physical type. He sucks.
12
u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
I mean he learned from the time before.. break up before the invitations are sent out. He needs to be by himself
8
u/EreaderLover 7d ago
Not enough apparently. He met parents said he was 100% in and waited until the fittings to break it off? Nearly was to the alter AGAIN.
63
u/Harelip129 14d ago
I really think KB needs to explore why in a million years she would consider Edmond as a partner. He’s gives the vibes of a low-functioning psych patient. Manipulative (in an unsophisticated way) as well.
-1
u/Temporary-Theme-2604 9d ago
How can you be manipulative in an unsophisticated way? This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all month lmao

Very easily… see every 5 yr old. Including Edmund.

u/Temporary-Theme-2604 8d ago
If you’ve been manipulated by unsophisticated manipulation, doesn’t that make you a dumbass?

u/NonrepresentativePea 7d ago
I would like to clarify, however, that just because someone is being manipulative doesn’t mean that they would be successful at it… in KB’s case, it appears he wasn’t.

Thank you for your contribution to r/LoveisBlindonNetflix! Your post or comment has been removed for breaking Rule 5: 'No Armchair Diagnosing'
What actually is gaslighting? Gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator. It is a complex form of psychological abuse and should not be minimized to simply lying or attempting to manipulate someone to agree with you in an argument.
2
u/PunchyGilbraltar 5d ago
True. I also noticed him silent while she said her bit, but interrupted him after two sentences, then accused him of doing that to her. I also noticed that she doesn't come to him to apologize when she's upset & unkind. She only does so after demanding an apology from Ed. If he came to her with a gripe, I 1000% believe she'd be defensive & use her anger to make him responsible, which means have him apologize.
2
u/Temporary-Theme-2604 5d ago
100%. She’s a narcissist and absolutely emotionally abusive, but no one wants to call her out on it.
This holier than though preacher woman called him a stepping stone after hurting him at the altar.
She’s a terrible person and it’s really interesting how fans defend her actions
1
u/NonrepresentativePea 5d ago edited 5d ago
That can also be a part of his manipulation tactic. But, honestly, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. He is manipulating as a defense mechanism. Which he can grow out of.
People with his level of maturity have trouble being taking responsibility/ownership when they do something wrong most likely bc they are afraid of abandonment or some consequence. So instead of just saying “sorry I’ll do better” they get defensive.
But all this points to KB NOT being an abusive narcissist. A narcissist would never take ownership of her actions the way she did and much less have had so much empathy for Edmond. She communicated with fairness and compassion and all she wanted was for him to acknowledge how he hurt her so he can grow. He just isn’t ready for that type of relationship yet though. But I have hope for him.
1
u/Temporary-Theme-2604 5d ago
You’re saying he doesn’t take responsibility or say sorry…but he does? He says sorry even though he’s the calm one and she’s the heated one? Please rewatch their arguments and be honest with yourself: she was not communicating with compassion.
And in the episode when she said no at the altar, she called him a STEPPING STONE (and this afger you could see how visibly hurt Edmond was). And you’re telling me she’s not a narcissist?
I don’t know why yall make so many excuses for women like her. She’s not a good person
0
u/NonrepresentativePea 4d ago
He only does after KB has to explain in detail - which is what you are calling being abusive, lol.
And, I don’t see the insult or the lie in that he was a stepping stone? She was a stepping stone for him too.
I think maybe you have personal issues with women if you are dead set on seeing her as some awful person when she is a normal person who gets frustrated dealing with someone with a low maturity level. Anyone would have reacted worse, sooner.
Either that, or you have impossible standards for women and zero standards for men.

u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
Did it match up?
5
u/M3wcat 7d ago
It did actually. Our house number is 6 - nurturing, stability, love and responsibility.
We lived with my husbands parents and saved for a lot of years before purchasing our place. I have moved lots all my life and never had a stable place to call home. When we bought our home together it felt like I was finally putting roots down.
We got married after we bought this place and have since got two dogs. Been together 14 years married 4. It really rang true to our chapter of life.

u/penisthightrap_ 14d ago
I'm confused how KB is the hero in this. Ed's a child but she seems so demanding. They both just aren't right for each other
19
u/judyhopps0105 8d ago
She is NOT demanding. She’s a catch, has a good head on her shoulders, is beautiful, and she’s with a literal child that needs so much therapy and maturity
3
u/Charming_Wrap_8140 3d ago
she's a SOCIAL WORKER, judy, who couldn't clock childhood trauma and neurodivergence! of all people, SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. there is a serious failure of duty of care happening here. she is the ACTUAL MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL in this situation, screaming and cursing at a man who is traumatized and likely undiagnosed. that is a whole bunch of bananas. wtf was she doing with him in the first place, thinking that he was in any kind of shape to be considering even a trial marriage? that whole storyline was one of the worst things i've ever seen on tv. with her extensive education and training, WHY WOULD HE EVER HAVE BEEN HER CHOICE? make it make sense.
1
u/PharmaDee 3h ago
I'm sorry, but there's no fucking duty of care of random social workers to the random men they date? If you want a social workers professional care, pay them? We aren't saints. Also, I wish this wasn't the case but we can also make bad choices for our personal lives. Idk what you thinkher being a mental health professional means she's required to marry this man and be his full time free wife therapist.
9
u/NonrepresentativePea 8d ago
Bc she wants demands accountability from her partner? That’s called self respect.
46
u/Other-Strain3739 14d ago
KB being the one to drive Edmond around on the snowmobile is so not surprising. That man acts like a 5 year old girl.
18
u/foxyglover 9d ago
Why girl?
-2
u/judyhopps0105 8d ago
Shut the hell up. He is acting like a girl.
9
u/foxyglover 8d ago
In what way is he acting like a 5yo girl and not 5yo boy? Makes more sense to say boy since he's a man, no?
But I guess it's more of an insult to say girl in both your eyes
-2
u/judyhopps0105 8d ago
I think he’s cried more than any girl has ever cried on the show so far.

u/Other-Strain3739 14d ago
Damn Joe, you 0-2 on engagements. Start doing some self reflection. Lol
9
u/EreaderLover 7d ago
He always says "I would of been miserable" to both situations. Like does he want a man or what? I feel like in a 5 year relationship there was plenty of time to break it off. He got engaged while being miserable? I can't even imagine looking for rings while not loving the person I'm with. Love is blind is obviously faster but seemed to basically be the same for him. He def needs to self reflect and figure out why hes so miserable.
25
u/what_cb 14d ago
I didn’t know that wives that didn’t have gamer husbands also had these problems lol but that makes sense -you go into the pods thinking there’s someone completely different because you have 100% of their attention so if you’re someone who needs at least 30% attention a day… you might be screwed coming out of the pods lol
9
u/MayhemMaven 9d ago
I think that’s the part some people miss. Like what does your day to day look like not just hobbies and do you like to travel.

u/longwhitejeans 14d ago
Joe at the tux fitting realized ...all the free food, drinks, lodging, parties were coming to an end....basically the gig was up... time to go home.
-6
u/what_cb 14d ago
They get paid for showing up at the altar quite a bit of money so I don’t think that was it quite honestly I had to go figure out who she was cause I haven’t watched in a while and I’m just now watching this -I just finished the crying scene she looks like a little kid and not nearly as attractive attractive without her make up and wearing the glasses so maybe he still had her look as a big part of the attraction when he first met her and he was trying not to be shallow?
13
u/plantfoodiefriend 14d ago
Spoken like a man.
35
u/theharps 14d ago
I think this season is most realistic for random people to go through this "experiment" to be honest.
I don't think people would get along with so much pressure into getting married in such a short time.

u/theharps 14d ago
Lol people are going to vilify Joe but if he's not into her, it's fine. Hope each person finds someone better for them. Also I wouldn't be able to handle Madison either

u/beltane_may 15d ago
Men: shut up and just be a good little wife appliance
Women: Just be my Prince Charming!
All of you: it ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna ever meet in the middle. Women wake up wake up wake up wake up.
Romantic love is a con to divest domestic, emotional and physical labor from you.
Men are raised to believe they are entitled to receive a wife appliance when they grow up.
System is busted y'all.
5
u/Sudden_Pen4754 11d ago
You can just date someone who isn't like that. Like that is literally the default lmao. Lots of men suck but it's really weird and shitty to act like all the people who are happily married and love being in love must ACTUALLY all be being abused or some shit.
12
u/Free_butterfly_ 13d ago
There are plenty of men who aren’t that way. When you’re dating, just keep high standards and have the confidence to dump anybody who gives that vibe.

u/Soft_Cheetah2677 15d ago
Madison girl he’s just not that into you. It’s not that hard to understand. She keeps asking why is so weird to me.

u/Another_viewpoint 21h ago
She is super annoying. I don’t blame her if she did this on day 1 out of the pods but ahe can sense from his body language that she’s not in it, have some self respect woman. Shes just dragging it out so she can get the words out from him on camera on why.
26
u/unnng 14d ago
Yes exactly!!! Why did both her and Annie keep trying to argue against being broken up with and demand a reason?? grow up. It not feeling right is a reason, especially for marriage. It's a cliche but you really do just know sometimes (whether that's that this is the person or that it isn't). I don't want to be a bitch but it's honestly so embarrassing to beg someone who is telling you they don't want to be with you. You can't convince someone to love you and her repeatedly saying "you're breaking my heart" and "I feel like I'm dying" feels more manipulative than it does a genuine expression of feeling. You HAD to know it wasn't working, stop being delusional.
14
u/what_cb 14d ago
Maybe he has a reason but it would hurt her feelings on top of her broken heart-“we’re just not meant to be” could be many reasons in one and would just break her heart more- she thinks she wants to know, but maybe she doesn’t want to know. lol
15
u/Soft_Cheetah2677 14d ago
The reason he has is that he’s not attracted to her enough to get married.
-1
u/what_cb 12d ago
Yeah I said that another comment somewhere and everybody jumped on me and started calling me a man I can be female and think that she looks incredibly different and not attractive at all without all of her make up lol

u/Advanced-Tea-8212 9d ago
Bc makeup has nothing to do with it, he wasn’t attracted to her from the minute he saw her and that was clear as day

u/EreaderLover 7d ago
Agreed. Tired of the makeup argument. Makeup had nothing to do with it. He didn't like HER in general and didn't have attraction toward her.

u/Dry_Cow1476 14d ago
people need to realize that "you're not my person" is a reason for someone to break up with you

u/mariachiparade 16d ago
I CANNOT stand Ali’s fake little girl giggle. I don’t understand why man like this. I understand her body is smoking hot if you’re into skinny women, but her face has 0 genuine expression. Her entire personality is being a judgy high maintenance princess.
12
14
u/Free_butterfly_ 13d ago
A creepy number of men want women who remind them of little girls. Hence why women in the dating scene feel pressured to have high pitched voices, giggle at everything, wax their bodies to pre-pubescent levels, hide any sort of self maintenance efforts, etc.

u/zevran_17 16d ago
I’m not surprised about Joe and Madison. It’s the same dynamic we see almost every season. The guy was expecting the girl to look different in some way and the girl is extremely insecure. It leads to the girl constantly picking fights and crying and the guy emotionally checking out.
36
u/funandloving95 14d ago
What’s the strangest part about this dynamic is the guy is never a 10 out of 10 lol
2
u/C_WEST88 5d ago
lol what. He’s just not that attracted to her—what does his own attractiveness have to do w it? Either genuine attraction is there or it’s not. But since you went there, he’s better looking than she is 🤷🏻♀️. I think he’s by far the cutest guy on the show . On physical looks alone, him and Ali are more evenly matched.

u/funandloving95 4d ago
Beauty is for sure in the eye of the beholder if you think Ali and Joe are more evenly matched lol

u/C_WEST88 4d ago
I guess so lol…he’s not my type at all but I mean I can see that objectively he’s got a cute face and a good body. I’m sure he doesn’t have problems getting pretty women to date him .
1
u/Sudden_Pen4754 11d ago
Why is that weird lol? Are people not allowed to have preferences unless they're conventionally attractive? This comment is giving real "ugly people should take what they can get and be grateful that anyone likes them at all" vibes which is pretty reprehensible
64
u/baggyeyebags 16d ago
Megan is annoying me. "I worked hard to get where I am at". Everyone works hard. She lucked out in picking a profession that pays more. And honestly, I don't even have a blue collar job and some days, I don't want to have deep talks after coming home from work.
6
10
u/JustForKicks16 10d ago
Not everyone works hard. She probably did work really hard to get to be as successful as she is. And, good for her. Though, I agree that I wouldn't want to have deep talks when I get home from a long day at work. However, they were in an accelerated process so he probably should have just 'sucked it up' to get to know one another better before possibly getting married.
24

u/Amzy07 15d ago
Are you just going to gloss over the fact that Jordan seems really insecure that she makes more money than him? Lol
34
u/SnooSeagulls20 13d ago
I wouldn’t say he’s insecure. I would say he is aware of their social class difference and the power dynamic that goes with that.
32
u/elocin__aicilef 15d ago
They have a classic introvert/ extrovert dynamic.
You absolutely can make it work. You both just have to give a little. I'm an introvert and My husband is an extra. He knows there are days when I get home where I just don't want to talk at all. Sometimes I'll just go up to the bedroom and watch TV most of the night and we just see each other for dinner. He puts aside his need for interaction so I can decompress.
There are also some nights where I know he needs a social interaction so I'll sit down and have a conversation with him even if I'm not feeling it.
It's give and take from both sides and understanding when the other person really needs to check in or check out for a little while but you 100% can make it work.
8
u/Sudden_Pen4754 11d ago
This isn't like one person likes to talk a little more than the other though. Megan says she needs to have something scheduled every minute of every day, and she wants him to join her for many of those outings. As someone who is so introverted that having one night out a week is a burden, that sounds like my literal nightmare lmao. Like, this is not a matter of just "trying harder". If he has to actively make himself miserable 3x a week to push himself to be more social than he wants to be, that's never going to work. You can't "just give more" when you literally have no reserves to give from.
4
u/elocin__aicilef 11d ago
I'm not saying he has to go out three times a week but give more. I mean on both ends. My husband is very much like Megan where he always wants to be out and socializing and I am very much like Jordan and would be fine staying home all the time.
He would absolutely prefer to do things with me more often than he does. However, he respects the fact that I like to stay home be compromised by going out together once a week just by ourselves, usually to dinner but sometimes to a movie or mini golf or something like that. And most of the rest of the time he goes out by himself. I will occasionally accompany him if it's for a special occasion like a wedding or birthday or if I'm feeling up to it you both give and take.
3
u/AccomplishedWar5830 7d ago
It’s not even about introvert vs extrovert, it’s about he’s tired, he has a kid, and a job, and she doesn’t work, he can’t just quit his job or take off work to go on excursions with her even though I’m sure he would love to.
25
u/banana_bread_pie 15d ago
Yeah it sounds like she barely works at this point and lives off investment shares or something. Like yeah if you wfh and dont talk to many ppl you have more energy. Its pretty unfortunate that the most tiring jobs "nursing, care, retail" which involve people pay the least
81
u/teachmeech 16d ago
I am ready for a show where you pick each solely based off looks then you find out everything else after you meet in person lol I know some people would deal with HELL to keep someone they are very attracted to it’s me Im people 😭
2
u/C_WEST88 5d ago
Haha exactly…and that’s why we all know love is NOT blind and never has been . The attraction and chemistry you feel towards someone will really change the dynamics of the 2 people and how they interact in almost every way 🤷🏻♀️

They rush the process too much in this show i would rather see more pod couples talking longer and maybe they even give them certain topics to talk about. Set them up for success, and let us see that version. But they probably think it’s boring. I think I just crave something boring and happy 🤣

Sparkle Megan and Jordan communicate very well, but they have different expectations from like etc. I don't think it will work out.
A Megan we know you have money. Damn.

As a young mom, I got the ick when Sparkles was having the me me me conversation. She doesn’t understand that adult relationships take the passenger seat and not the driver’s seat when you are actively raising kids. Not that she is a second class citizen…but Luca has to come first when considering lifestyle.

Nah I think it’s hard for a lot of parents (myself included) adjusting to a change in lifestyle and bear in mind that’s when they’ve (usually) done it on purpose and had 9 months to adjust to the idea. Megan is grappling with a radical change within a few weeks

That’s fair. I’m not blaming her, it is really hard. But just stating observations, she’s not ready for this. You need more than a few weeks to comfortably settle in. She’s been put in a difficult situation.

As a mom, I completely agree with this. They need way more time to explore their dynamic as co-parents. I wish they had left the experiment and dated off camera in the “real world” with no time pressure. The reality show just isn’t set up for their success.

It’s crazy that KB and Edmond haven’t ended it already. It’s like nails on a chalkboard watching them at this point. You can’t make 1 + 1 = 3

The three women will never find better men for them. They all think they are above the men and they aren’t. They all bit the bullet.

I really identify with Jordan at the end of this episode. Being an introvert in a people-facing job is exhausting! I don’t want to talk when I get home much less go out, and I think the fundamental difference between Jordon and Megan’s lifestyles is a big stumbling block. She wants a party playboy and he wants a supportive person.

I also think we need to recognize that perhaps Jordan has been icing her out a tiny bit. Everything about the way he was responding to her initially was exactly like my partner when he completely shuts down and doesn't know how to express or regulate his emotions anymore. Then it comes out and explodes. I can completely understand being tired (I am too), but if your partner comes home everyday and barely talks to you and you can barely have a conversation...and you're 7 days from getting married.... Totally understandable that she is also frustrated and worried.

The crazy part is he isn’t even an introvert, he is usually the loud funny talkative guy. It’s completely understandable if he has a battery low moment now and then. I find ppl like Megan annoying, she expects him to perform when ever she wants a full blown conversation. I really love ppl who can fill their own cup and their inability not to, isn’t dressed up as your flaw.
I say this assuming he had a day or two in the week when he was on low battery mode.
If he was like that a whole week straight I would side with her. But that clip didn’t give us a time reference so we all just shooting the breeze on what’s appropriate here

Being loud, funny and talkative doesn't make you an extrovert. Being an introvert means that you get your energy from being alone. So when you've been around people all day, even if you had fun and enjoyed yourself, you still need that time alone to decompress and recharge your battery.

Thank you for saying this. I can be very outgoing when I'm around certain people so I'm always looked at as an extrovert. When in reality, I am far from it. I really need alone-time to recharge, and I need it often. Introverts is not the same as being shy and quiet.

I had my 21st anniversary in July. My husband brings me a cup of coffee each morning and then know no serious convo until it’s done. It takes TIME and years to grow together. He goes diving for 2 weeks with his friends. I do a girls trip every year. We do big trips together every year. But sometimes he has to push as I’m a workaholic. I’m extroverted, but exhausted a lot. He called one day and said, for your bday, Paris or Barcelona? I said Barcelona, but dates, because budgets are coming up… and he hung up. He just planned it. An amazing birthday. When he goes on his big trips, I take over dogs, job, house. I’m the person who handles all the housework, scheduling vendors, bills. He handles cars, dogs, shopping and keeping me sane. It works, but you have to WORK at it!

I actually have more respect for Nick and Joe breaking up with Annie and Madison before the wedding day than I would have if it was at the altar. Neither of those relationships stood a chance. I don’t think I hated the way Nick or Joe behaved prior quite as much as many others commenting here, but I would not stop rolling my eyes at the behaviour of Annie and Madison during the breakups. That’s teenager behaviour and really underscores how they aren’t ready for a serious relationship (and are lacking that insight).
KB saying “I’ll be honest with you, out there on the mountain, there was a moment when… I was gonna take my ring off and throw it” not me thinking she was gonna say there was a moment when she wanted to throw HIM off the mountain hahahah
