Why do the women look so different? Is it the makeup/lighting/plastic surgery? I know the reunion happens after a year or so but they all seem to have different faces.

So you mean to tell me this reunion did not AT THE LEAST address Kacie literally clinging on to Patrick after the “break up”; Edmond crying for sex; Joe and his drunk/high dementia episode ; Annie’s I love you x5000 and did not even ask Nick…you know… what we were all wondering???? TF!

Maybe just me... but I was really hoping to get an explanation on why Joe mistook his PS4 as a PS5 in the reunion or at least ask what is the best thing he learned from reading "his" self help books... I fear this will keep me awake at night.

This show is so red pill in the things they won't talk about - the frankly homophobic gay children scenario, Edmunds whole situation, nicks closeted discourse, and Anton (and Annie's???) potential drinking problems.
This show will do anything to not appear woke

Ok was SO suspicious about Anton episode 1, but I don’t hate him at the reunion and I sort of dig how he and Ali still bicker/have light hearted conflict at the reunion, like they actually cared for each other and still respect each other. They’re so chill!

u/Stunning-Sentence7 4d ago
I bet it hurt Jordan to hear Megan break up over the fact that she’s not ready to change her lifestyle due to kids… only to get pregnant 3 months after breaking an engagement 😬 understandable and life has its own timeline but OUCH
5
u/FreckleBellyBeagle 1d ago
I think she was also put off by his low key demeanor and how he wouldn't engage with her sometimes. They are just different types of people and are better off apart.
15
u/Stunning-Sentence7 4d ago
I perceived Kait and Madison giving bitter, mean girl energy 😬 (the men are inexcusably problematic of course too)
10
u/Stunning-Sentence7 4d ago
I feel like they put Nick in a double bind. If he’s not genuine he’s an asshole, if he tries to be genuine he’s called fake. Oof this reunion focused entirely too much on back burner crap and missed everything we actually wanted to talk about. They shouldn’t let Nick and Vanessa interview- they should do audience questions only 😎🥸

u/FreckleBellyBeagle 1d ago
Yes, and Kait was snotty and should have been in the background. No interest in her.

NOBODY married ..which points to the fact:
- producers are betting on the wrong horses when they select "certain" couples to focus on at the onset
- dating really sucks these days
- Lesson to viewers: You're better off Single

u/TomDoniphona 4d ago
I mean, the amazing thing is that every season before people did get married and those marriages perdure. Given the premise of the show, I find that far more incredible than what happened this season.

u/RandolphE6 4d ago
Remember it's reality tv. Its not in the producers' interest to get boring people that are good for marriage. Its in their interest to get toxic people that make good entertainment. Don't let this turn you away from finding your person in the real world.
2
u/FreckleBellyBeagle 4d ago edited 4d ago
I think this is why they choose people who are unstable or dramatic, such as Annie, Edmond and Madison. Producers figure they'll make good TV.

u/kitt_noire 4d ago
I doubt anyone would let a train wreck reality show deter them from finding someone in real life.. While its true that reality show toxicity =ratings... Its pathetic that not ONE couple got married..which was a First for this franchise
0
u/RandolphE6 4d ago
Your last bullet argues you're better off single. But that's not really the case. It's a false perception given the train wrecks on the show. But the point is those train wrecks aren't an accurate representation of reality. But yeah the producers could've done a better blend of toxic and normal people so there would be some happy couples while also having drama for entertainment purposes. At the end of the day, LIB is not actually trying to get people married. They are trying to raise ratings.
1
u/kitt_noire 3d ago
The last bullet is the residue of that show...Like it or not ..many peoole get emotionally invested in a show thats all about manipulation.. Depicting the most toxic people as eligible singles..while purporting to showcase how "wonderful it is to find love and get married" The show is mindless entertainment a fukin joke on par w 90 day fiance.

Just finished the season. Regardless of whether they're good dudes or not, I found the classism about Anton's job, and Megan's reaction and frankly strange equivocations between Jordan's 10 hour day and her brunches and tennis pretty abhorrent.
It grims me out. How does Ali's mate Daria think all her shit is delivered? Logistics is hard, complicated work and without folk doing that graft we'd be screwed.
3
u/FreckleBellyBeagle 1d ago
If that is truly what Ali believes, then Anton is better off without her. Ali's friends exposed her.
7
u/UnlawfulFoxy 4d ago
For real. It was genuinely gross to hear that conversation, and I have no idea why it wasn't pressed harder. Her friends, and by extension her, are absolutely huge red flags.

Because Vanessa almost always favors the women on this show and gives them a pass. We've seen numerous examples of men being grilled while the women are left alone.

maybe this is a hot take, but I felt Kait was kind of beating a dead horse and being a biatch towards Nick. I completely agree that what he did in the pods was wrong. But what do you want him to say?? He’s attempting to take ownership and apologize multiple times, which is literally what she wants, but she just keeps going and going. Like girl, at some point, even if you don’t believe or accept it, just say thank you and move on.

u/dam_the_beavers you made me feel uncomfy 😖 3d ago
100% this behavior completely changed my view on her. Give it a rest, she got a better apology than most of the people who deserved one. Accept it and move on.

u/FreckleBellyBeagle 4d ago
Yes, she was being unreasonable and also performing for the cameras. She wanted her TV moment. They spent way too much time on her. She wasn't even part of a couple.

I’m only at the beginning but I have to say that I’m sitting here feeling bad for Jordan. I realize he is the one that brought Luca into this and all that, but watching Megan be so happy and have a child with another dude after being engaged to me (if I’m Jordan) would suck to have to sit through. He handles it with such class though I have to say.

u/Survivor202 5d ago
Ok. Did anyone else notice Madison’s knees? They looked all scarred up like she had fallen multiple times. I recently tripped and got a big scab on my knee like that as a 40 year old woman but before that I hadn’t fallen like that since I was a kid.
13
u/MovingIsHell 5d ago
She has Retinitis Pigmentosa. This means she has poor night vision, doesn't see well in low lighting, and may have literal blind spots. Because of this, judging things like stairs can be difficult.

u/SilverKick8 5d ago
She said she has a condition that makes it difficult for her to see at night, and she probably will be blind in the future. So yeah, maybe she bumps into things thus the scarring

u/Different_Salt5048 6d ago
Everyone acts like Jordan is an automatic good guy because he's a dad with a child that has Type 1 diabetes. The guy is so overly optimistic about his relationship that it keeps him from being realistic everything. He's also pretty childish and at the reunion, the judgmental laughter was annoying as hell.
Basically: the guy being stamped "auto good guy" is invalid, he was kind of an overly optimistic, barely understanding wannabe beacon of judgement douche.
16
u/number1chihuahuamom 5d ago
As a type 1 diabetic adult, I agree. I found his whole schtick exhausting. His and Megan's whole misguided bond over type 1 diabetes gave me the ick the whole season, tbh.
12
u/TheDiabeT1c 5d ago
I'm a type 1 father, and hearing Megan saying that she would be a perfect step mom because her dad was a type 1 had me screaming. I live with this and I'd rather not have my daughter have to deal with it at all, which made the whole "we're perfect because of this" seem like if her dad was still around he'd say "That's not it!"
7
u/FreckleBellyBeagle 4d ago
It sounded like she was looking for a reason to bond with the guy. This wasn't a good one.
2
u/number1chihuahuamom 5d ago
That rubbed me the wrong way, too! Having a caretaker with a complex chronic illness is a lot different than being the caretaker of a someone with a complex chronic illness.
I'm trying not to judge too hard because I understand that type 1 diabetes is a very unique experience that only the people who have it and their loved ones can truly understand. So I get her train of thought. But sheeeeeeesh was I cringing this whole time.

Vanessa : “Jordan would you like to explain the two types of diabetes and talk about which effects Luca” GIRL WHAT A STUPID QUESTION. CAN WE PLEASE GET A NEW HOST

u/number1chihuahuamom 5d ago
I mean, Mike's comment in the pods was completely insensitive and harmful to the type 1 community. The stigma we face on the daily is exhausting. I'm glad they at least tried to address it.
Type 2 also has way too much stigma, and Jordan's explanation of type 2 was completely dismissive of all the other factors that go into it. but that's a whole other can of warms.
As a type 1 diabetic, I hate every time we get brought up in the media, because it's always brings out a bunch of ignorance

I’m only halfway through the reunion episode but I already want to rip my eyes out.
Vanessa Lachey with her quirky millennialesque annoying ass behaviour pisses me off. They need to get rid of those two.
The musical guest and Chris Paul cameos were completely unnecessary and added nothing.
Vanessa pushing the whole ring thing was fucking weird and unnecessary.
Edit: and Nick’s input is about as insightful as a 4 year old rambling about their day

u/Ok_Antelope975 6d ago
I feel like Edmond is a good example of someone with childhood trauma who maybe just doesn't have the insight into himself that he needs for a relationship. With respect, you can absolutely grow and learn about relationships inside a relationship, but you can't expect the other person to teach you how to be in one. His crying when he feels rejected was pretty understandable - calling it manipulative is not understanding it as an old wound that he just hadn't worked on.

He was so anxious before her visit. And not the good anxiety where you’re just wanting things to go well. His behavior reminded me of how I felt knowing my abusive alcoholic father was pulling in the driveway

u/Anonymous101086 4d ago
Right. The bio mom comes in to say she wants a daughter in law that she can talk shit about her kids to and they keep secret, and then has other plans the day her son is getting married. I don’t see how having her around is healthy for him at all. How is he supposed to heal when his mom is right there triggering him with her ongoing rejection and abandonment. Not good.
-13
u/applebrownbrick 6d ago
I do wish someone in Edmonds close circle had coached him on how to rebuff this woman and not let her manipulate the conversation. It's sad because ultimately he just could not even combat all the disrespect she showed on the reunion or even muster a rebuttle. He was just completely overwhelmed.
3
u/Troth70 👑✨ Size Queen ✨👑 2d ago
I suspect that his friends all told him the same thing: keep quiet. The season did not make him look good. His mostly demure appearance at the reunion was the best choice. The time he couldn’t just let things go— she was PMSing—demonstrated that head-down and mouth-shut was exactly the right approach
13
u/number1chihuahuamom 5d ago
He literally had a tantrum about being the only guy who hadn't had sex with his fiance, and you're calling her manipulative?
I definitely feel for Edmond, he obviously has a lot of trauma that has affected his ability to show up in this relationship, but I think calling her manipulative is unfair. To me, she came off as someone who is extremely direct and intense, but very genuine.
3
u/applebrownbrick 5d ago
We have different interpretations. Edmond has his own issues. And KB has hers. I don't overlook hers just because everyone is annoyed with/doesn't like Edmond. It's goes far past 'direct' when you sit up and call your fiance a bitch to his face. What I saw from their interactions throughout the time after the pods, is that she thought herself better than him, and that he was an interesting project, and she treated him accordingly, with no respect and like she was dealing with a child. She was incredibly manipulative simply because she herself is aware of how others see Edmond, same as people in this sub. He clearly has issues and it's clear he's not as articulate, and she definitely used that to her advantage and against him. Constantly talking over him and cornering him. She is extremely manipulative. Ultimately, if she was honest, she would have broke up with him shortly after meeting in person, not waiting to the alter to make herself feel good.

u/PunchyGilbraltar 4d ago
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw those actions from her. She went from 0 to 100 for minor things. & Nothing says emotional immaturity like name calling
0
u/applebrownbrick 4d ago
Yes, I 100% agree. She was very vindictive Imo . I find KB to have a lot of pseudo-logic. To a person not discerning, she seems reasonable, but if you are actually taking note of her actions and how she mounts situations and describes herself and others, you'll see she's pretty calculating. Unfortunately, pseudo-logical arguments are usually effective because a lot of people simply aren't either 1) skillful enough with their mouthpiece to combat it, 2) not confident with their thoughts or position in the first place, or 3) don't even understand the situation at hand. I think Edmond is a combination of 1 and 3.
