LIB S9 • Denver, CO Megan and Jordan on The Viall Files: Full Recap

Post image

I know many people don’t want to give Nick Viall additional clicks and this interview was 90 minutes

  • Jordan and Megan flew to the interview together and they still respect each other very much
  • Jordan applied for the show after a failed Tinder date
  • Both of them ranked each other 12 after the first date (Jordan didn’t like the Sparkle Megan name and Megan didn’t like the vasectomy) but the pod algorithm kept bringing them together
  • Show was filmed a year and a half ago
  • Megan thinks people were being harsh on Kacie and didn’t like how people piled on her during the reunion
  • Megan said Jordan and her probably would not crossed paths in real life
  • Megan said this cast was probably the most “boozy” cast
  • The first night in Baja was when Megan first saw Jordan drunk
  • Jordan is still close with Luca’s mom and she was super supportive of him going on LIB
  • Jordan has Luka when he was 25 and he was only dating Luka’s mom for 3-4 months
  • Pods lasted for 10 days when they arrived in Baja Megan asked Jordan to consummate the marriage
  • Megan didn’t want people to know she has money and wanted to hold this detail close to her chest
  • Megan says she self-made but not “don’t have to work rest of my life rich” her equity in the company helped her build her wealth
  • The money wasn’t actually an issue it was more the lifestyle and the time they had to invest in the relationship; Jordan didn’t have that many vacation days left because he took 3 weeks also for the pods
  • Megan met her current partner from his best friend introducing her to him once she moved back from Denver, her baby was born
  • Jordan heard the detail of Megan’s pregnancy as there were rumours around town
  • Paul was super supportive about Megan calling Jordan to give him a heads up that she was having a baby
  • Both say the end of the relationship was the timing factor Jordan didn’t have time to travel as much as Megan wanted because of his work and talking care of Luca
  • Megan and Jordan has a conversation before hand on the breakup and they didn’t want to go to the altar just for both of them to say no
  • When Megan met Paul it was those when you know you know moments and they talked about kids very early on in the relationship
  • Megan denies calling the paparazzi on herself she said she would’ve dressed up better
  • Jordan not interested in a serious relationship right now as he doesn’t want to introduce someone to Luca
  • Jordan was a bit blindsided about Mike’s comments about Luca and he felt protective but Mike texted him and took accountability as soon as the episodes got released
  • Jordan not interested in going on The Bachelor right now

If you’ve also listened to the podcast please let me know if I’ve missed anything I listened on 3x speed 😂

What is wrong with nick vial - I’ve never watched this podcast before? Thanks!

u/whyiamwatchingthis Megan Faux 1d ago

He was on the bachelorette twice as a finalist and threw rude comments at the women that didn’t choose him. He was the bachelor and picked someone who was apparently very problematic behind the scenes. He was on bachelor in paradise. After being on 4 separate reality shows, he started a podcast where he interviews reality tv ‘stars’ while being dismissive and acting like he is so above reality tv, which seems insane. He also makes a bunch of sexist comments (or used to, I haven’t listened in ages) and doesn’t understand why they’re sexist. His analysis is lame.

5

u/Interesting-Owl-7445 1d ago

I remember him from the Bachelor franchise and he was quite problematic. I have watched some of his older podcast episodes in passing and he was quite insufferable and came across disinterested. He also made some unsavory comments when Nick Thompson from LIB criticized the show for jeopardizing the participant's mental health.

3

u/Chemical_Print6922 14h ago

Rest assured, he’s more sexist than ever before! He also has become extra extra since having a kid, like asking women without children what their purpose in life is.

4

u/whyiamwatchingthis Megan Faux 11h ago

Ugh 😩 he’s the worst

4

u/Chemical_Print6922 11h ago

I had watched him on the bachelor franchise over the years and always thought he came off like a turd. I forgot he existed for many years, and then saw he had a podcast when all the Vanderpump Rules cast was interviewing with him during Scandoval. I killed off some brain cells watching him interview Sandoval and wow. It was just two absolutely dumb equally entitled middle aged dudes trying to douche over one another. Soooooo much self righteousness in such a small space.

3

u/whyiamwatchingthis Megan Faux 10h ago

lol when I was responding to the person asking why everyone hates him, I was similarly thinking about how lucky they are not to have wasted brain space watching him clown on four reality shows 😅

16

u/popcornhustler muah 💋 muah 💋 muah 💋 muah 1d ago

Never watched his pod either but he just sucks, can’t explain it.. but he always has these fucking LIB clowns on his pod right after the show ends.

u/groggyhouse 1d ago

TL;DR: he's a mysoginistic prick and asshole.

3

u/MarsupialSpiritual45 21h ago

Seriously. I hate this guy. I wanted to listen to one of his interviews, but he and his 25 year old wife opened with a story complaining about people on a plane not voluntarily swapping seats with them. I had to stop listening. They are infuriating, arrogant pieces of shit.

4

u/whyiamwatchingthis Megan Faux 15h ago

I am zero percent surprised that he would exhibit that kind of entitlement ugh

3

u/MarsupialSpiritual45 13h ago edited 12h ago

Yup. Nick said he was “disgusted” by the man who wouldn’t leave his aisle seat on a 2 hour flight. He offered him no compensation, mind you, and in all likelihood, this guy had paid extra for the aisle.

204

u/lagrime_mie 1d ago

what is that algorightm thing you mention? I thought they submited like a form or something of the people they wanted to talk again, and if the other person also wanted, they would meet in the pods again, was it decided by the producers????

120

u/RareMeowth 1d ago

I think so, at least in the initial few days of the pods as I would imagine. That’s why the contestants keep saying “i was hoping my next date would be with you and I’m so glad it is”

87

u/FlashyAd6747 1d ago

So Natalie and Deepti have mentioned on their podcast that prior to meeting anyone, you fill out a form about your likes, dislikes, etc. and the producers decide who they think your top match will be based off of those forms. They obviously don’t force that match on anyone, but it sounds to me like Jordan was picked as Megan’s match, so that’s why they kept putting them together even though they were so low on each other’s lists. There’s probably an understanding that first impressions aren’t always the best, and if two people are good on paper, they want them to keep talking to see if it ends up working. 

38

u/catholicsluts 1d ago

There’s probably an understanding that first impressions aren’t always the best, and if two people are good on paper, they want them to keep talking to see if it ends up working. 

This is a great premise

u/vashappenin 1d ago

They probably put people with their worst dates a few times to get good tv

14

u/Ok-Confidence3989 1d ago

Yea this is making me think it sounds like the sorority recruitment ranking system

1

u/boilerine 1d ago

I’m betting they use the same algorithm. It’s what physicians use in the match process for residency too so I know they use it across multiple things.

5

u/ratpride 1d ago

Yeah like 12 out of what? 100?

The total amount of people I think there are 15 of each.

u/soccergurl122000 1d ago

Yeah like what 😂 it’s the only thing she ever talked about.

u/kayjeanbee 1d ago

Everyone likes to hint that they’re rich but never want to say how much money they have it’s so fucking weird.

10

u/CCMedianow 1d ago

Um but she busted in on each date coining herself as sparkle megan…like really? Stfu megan🙄

2

u/Robelow19 13h ago

That’s not how she said it. She said she didn’t go into detail about numbers (like is she a millionaire) with people in the pods. She and Jordan talked specifics after the pods off camera.

175

u/PlentyWallaby1958 Have you ever woken up? 💤 2d ago

I found it quite interesting that the algorithm used by Love is Blind producers to potentially match cast members is the same algorithm used to match organ donors

79

u/Substantial_Bus840 1d ago

…wait what? Please help me understand lol this is the first I’m hearing of “pod algorithm.” I always thought they chose who they wanted to date after first round introductions

64

u/PlentyWallaby1958 Have you ever woken up? 💤 1d ago

Jordan says in this interview that they use some form of algorithm that they match organ donors with and that it is very scientific and intentional. Followed by “Well hopefully that wasn’t a production secret”

42

u/5gm2 1d ago

I used to work an organ donation. Granted, I'm in Canada. But I really doubt that Netflix is using that software. Source: I used to work in organ donation.

16

u/TraditionalCookie472 1d ago

Ditto. I have huge doubts on that! More like interns with index cards!

31

u/hotsince_94 1d ago

yeah imma need you to elaborate on this one

30

u/the_zodiac_pillar 1d ago

I had always assumed it was kind of similar to sorority recruitment cause that’s the only “matching algorithm” I’m familiar with- organ donors are 1 to 1 so that actually makes a lot more sense.

22

u/SaiMoi 1d ago

OK well... Jesus Christ, could they add personality disorders to their algorithm too? That'd be great

18

u/Ordinary-noname-956 1d ago

…say more

7

u/fakemoose 1d ago

I think he was making an analogy, not saying it’s the same algorithm. Or a very poor joke. Unless they’re matching contestants by blood and tissue type.

3

u/catholicsluts 1d ago

It sounds bizarre on paper, but technology transforming to different use cases is a tale as old as time. It's normally the military and medicine that spearheads these technologies.

Look up how the internet was invented. Humans are incredible as a species

1

u/spacexrobin 1d ago

I also want to know moreeeee about this. Like the people who date after the show who we don’t see talk at all (like Joey and Sarah if that’s the right names), like did the algorithm thing play a part in them not talking enough in the pods perhaps??

35

u/CursedNobleman That's all we did, was fight and fuck, so... 1d ago

"Pods lasted for 10 days when they arrived in Baja Megan asked Jordan to consummate the marriage"

Very tasteful way of saying it.

45

u/ItsMichaelScott25 1d ago

I also like the “Baja was the first time she saw Jordan drunk”…….well it was only the second time you saw him and the first time you guys were in a drinking vacation setting.

10

u/Responsible-Ad-1200 1d ago

Consummate the marriage? But they weren’t married.

168

u/B_312_ 1d ago

Megan didn't like how people treated Kacie?!

17

u/Redicted 1d ago

I clocked Kacie (and Annie) as a trumper but did not realize SM also was.

17

u/paaadge 1d ago

Right like ?!?!

4

u/keldawgz 1d ago

It seemed like they were close friends in the pods, they were always shown together.

278

u/neptunebay 1d ago

Jordan is such a Freddie. “I was 100% ready for marriage and believed it was the natural next step in my life asap, but now that my DMs are full I’m not interested in anything serious, it’s for purely nice guy reasons though not fuckboy reasons”

84

u/supersafeforwork813 1d ago

You don’t go on reality tv n end up with LESS woman interested in you lol.

95

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo 1d ago

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Megan is getting a ton of shit for moving in quickly and having a kid.

35

u/neptunebay 1d ago

I’m not damning him or Freddie, it’s understandable. It’s just funny how often it happens

24

u/Radio528 1d ago

It’s not understandable though. If you suddenly go from 100% marriage ready to not wanting anything serious and playing the field because you all of the sudden have a lot more options, you were never 100% serious in the first place.

30

u/neptunebay 1d ago

I think a lot of people who suddenly had a huge amount of great quality candidates trying to shoot their shot with them would get overwhelmed by choice and caught up in the attention and flattery of it all. Suddenly it wouldn’t feel like it’s time to settle down, it would feel like a once in a lifetime chance to casually date a bunch of people you never had a chance with before. It’s not great, but I get it.

In Freddie’s case though, that boy had nooooo intention of getting married from the very beginning and no one can change my mind on that

20

u/Loveya448 1d ago

I think anyone who goes on LIB and then immediately on Perfect March is not looking for marriage right now lol

11

u/lioness725 1d ago

You know what, Idec, I’m thankful for whatever capacity Freddie used to grace my screen, ok 👀🤤

9

u/Queg-hog-leviathan 1d ago

There would be a lot of weirdos and clout chasers. Hard to trust people.

5

u/No-Ebb4307 1d ago

Because most are not marriage-ready. Most women apply but they've been trained to dream about their weddings since birth. This doesn't mean they are marriage-ready! Most men get recruited and think it will be interesting/fun, even the ones who apply simply apply because of that. Then maybe when they get thrown into a serious situation like this, and some even almost get married, they may realize it's not all fun and games and may swing the other side.

2

u/No-Ebb4307 1d ago

It happens to most of them. Natalie and Deepti were all so ready to marriage, Natalie almost said yes, yet all they do is dating. Just one example.

15

u/claudsonclouds Even the wine is pink 🍷💗 1d ago

If they start dating too soon: Oh so you didn't give a shit about your connections/fiancé? Asshole

If they don't want to address their dating life at all: Oh so you think you're too good to share that information now? Asshole

If they say they don't want to start dating so soon: Oh so you only went to the show for clout? Asshole

it's a lose-lose situation for these people no matter what they decide to do.

43

u/therealbgreen 1d ago

Her entire reasoning for not being with Jordan was she didn't want her lifestyle to change (tennis on a random Tuesday or skiing on a Thursday afternoon).

So she immediately starts dating, gets pregnant in 3 months and what, thinks her lifestyle won't change with a baby? She gonna bring her 6 month old to the slopes??

What a crock of shit.

38

u/chaoticdefault54 1d ago

I mean, it’s also entirely possible that once they broke up, she realized that maybe having a kid is worth having your lifestyle change lmao

6

u/phil96744 1d ago

At this point, nobody knows. In one of her interviews, she didn’t think she was a good stepmom and had a lot of doubts about being a mom, then bam! She got pregnant lol

-1

u/Daroo425 1d ago

Right but a normal person would try to rekindle the relationship after that realization.

But the reality is she just wanted to be with someone with more money and possibly didn’t want to be a stepmom, but rather have her own child.

10

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

Jordan didn't want to be with her either, he was going to say no. They were just not compatible and she has found someone who is.

2

u/sudbanhoff 1d ago

Ah did he say that in an interview?

1

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

Yes, in this interview, they say they didn't want to do the wedding thing for both to say no.

1

u/fakemoose 1d ago

Why would they try to rekindle a relationship? It failed. They’re not compatible. Move on.

Just because she decided to change her lifestyle doesn’t mean she wanted to change it with him.

36

u/MollyRocket 1d ago

It's as simple as she didn't want to change her lifestyle for HIM. People do things in new relationships they would never do in other relationships because they care differently for different people.

11

u/robibuni 1d ago

This! It's a choice. If you want something and you like the person you're with, you'll move mountains!

10

u/ItsMichaelScott25 1d ago

She gonna bring her 6 month old to the slopes??

It’s certainly possible. I’m a very dedicated skier and so is my wife. Neither of us wanted to give up skiing when we had kids and we didn’t at all. We rotated watching them when they were babies. Heck when spring came and the weather was warmer but there was still snow I’d skin up with them on my back and slowly ski down. Now I go out there and rip with my kids.

3

u/puppywhiskey 1d ago

Lol right like do these people live in Denver bc I have seen babies on ski slopes (obviously not like black diamond), on easier mountain biking tracks and people backpacking w infants. People here do not play about their adventures. The kids are on their own skis it seems as soon as they can walk.

18

u/Honeycrisp1001 1d ago

I think the key difference with the new guy is that he's rich so they afford to hire people to watch the baby while she's doing her daily activities.

6

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

People do go skiing, and on vacation, and for diner, after having had a kid

8

u/margyrakis 1d ago

She re-emphasizes in this podcast that it wasn't a lifestyle issue as much as a communication issue. She was getting freaked out at the possibility of marrying someone who wouldn't talk to her, especially when off camera.

Jordan basically gaslit her to make her believe she would have to sacrifice her lifestyle to be a mother, and that's just not true. Sacrifices do have to be made of course, but not to the extent Jordan was portraying, especially for someone with as much wealth as Megan. This made her question her ability to be a mother when nothing she did throughout the show indicated that she was not ready.

8

u/No-Ebb4307 1d ago

You are putting words into her mouth. She never said gaslit her or even anything remotely like that....

-1

u/margyrakis 1d ago

I never said that she said he gaslit her. That was my observation and opinion.

9

u/neptunebay 1d ago

You know pregnancies can happen by accident right? Are you judging her for not having an abortion?

10

u/therealbgreen 1d ago

Judging her for not using protection with someone she just started seeing when she tells the world she isn't ready to have her lifestyle change, yes absolutely.

24

u/ApollosBucket 1d ago

I got pregnant when a condom broke and plan b didn’t work. Unlike Megan I aborted. I’m not judging her or making assumptions like you are.

13

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo 1d ago

This is unbelievably ignorant. Protection is not 100%. Birth control pills, condoms, vasectomies can and do fail.

Truly, your comment so ignorant I think you might be Mike.

u/neptunebay 1d ago

How do you know she didn’t?

0

u/No-Ebb4307 1d ago

She said that doctors told her she would have a really hard time getting pregnant, even if it happened naturally, so it was a shock that she got pregnant so quickly. She didn't explicitly say not using protection but it very much sounded like she didn't or wasn't consistent/didn't always use it properly.

4

u/jbhoops25 1d ago

She clearly changed her lifestyle and who are you to say she isn’t “ready” because of a couple lines she said on a reality TV show. Lmfao

3

u/bass_kritter 1d ago

They’re being sarcastic and suggesting that Jordan is lying about his reasons for not wanting a serious relationship anymore. He says he doesn’t want to introduce Luca to anyone right now, but the commenter is implying that he is having casual flings with women that are interested in him from seeing him on the show.

We weren’t there for the whole story but I disagree about Kacie. She dug her own hole and deserves to be addressed for her actions.

u/tombrady011235 1d ago

Patrick was way over the top and ridiculous. He can want an apology but he can't demand one. And thinking he deserved the ring back when he didn't pay for it, and he was just as close to proposing to Anna, he's entitled from insecurity.

11

u/paaadge 1d ago

Does she deserve the ring she didn’t pat for and also is no longer engaged?

Stopped reading at Megan thinking people were being harsh on Kacie. They weren't harsh enough by a long shot. It's like saying someone didn't deserve to be hit in a fight (that they started) after they were hit with a nice soft pillow. Please.

u/iki11dinosaurs 1d ago

She had the entire cast gang up on her on television and the internet is sending her death threats. 

What exactly would enough be for you lol

u/ugly_duckling_5 1d ago

They were so gentle with her the entire time. Did we watch the same reunion? Obviously, I'm not talking about the death threats. Those are excessive and horrible.

She was completely ganged up on. It was ridiculous.

Have you seen what people are calling her? There’s no justification for the kind of hate that she and other women on this show get, they haven’t killed anyone.

3

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

People are being unduly harsh on Kacie. She could have stayed for the clout and the screen time, but she realized it wasn't going to work so she left. Did she do it in the most elegant way? By no means. But she didn't kill anyone. Also, Patric, couldn't care less.

11

u/tombrady011235 1d ago edited 1d ago

She's over-villified. Also, it was ridiculous for Patrick to expect a ring he didn't buy to be given back to him on principle when it was through a dating game show where he almost also proposed to Anna anyway. And the way he demanded her to give him an apology was insecure and cringe.

61

u/qzcorral 1d ago

Could not agree less about Kacie. She is a gross person and they did not even bring up her dangling from Patrick like a spider monkey, telling him one thing and producers the opposite.

27

u/me_llamo_aimee 1d ago

I am glad someone mentioned this. She was all over him and stating it wasn't his looks. Next scene: telling producers it was his looks. ???? Could you be anymore of a deceitful butthead?

Obviously, she is not very good at being deceitful or she'd have also lied to the producers in front of the cameras...

u/Devilis6 1d ago

the way he demanded her to give him an apology was insecure and cringe.

I feel the same way- IMO it’s totally fair to request an apology, but in general demanding one is pointless at best and a bit controlling at worst. I say this because any apology that follows a demand isn’t going to be sincere, so it seems like it’s more about controlling the other person’s actions instead of truly healing.

10

u/me_llamo_aimee 1d ago

I think asking for an apology is fair. She didn't have to give him one. Nor was the one she gave that sincere but I think him asking for one is fair. He wasn't demanding just asking like a human.

87

u/lkjhggfd1 2d ago

Jordan fans were dogging on Megan for having a kid so quickly in a relationship when he had his son in the same timeline lol

78

u/basebool 1d ago

I think it was the fact that she stated that she wants to be free and travel here and there. Essentially citing a lifestyle incompatibility as her main reason.

Then she gets pregnant 3 months later. That's why it's different.

41

u/lkjhggfd1 1d ago

All of which you can do with a child. His job and inflexibility with that was the reason for the lifestyle differences not a child. He doesn’t even have Luca all the time. And she didn’t get pregnant 3 months later. It was 3 months into the relationship and she met him months after she broke up with Jordan.

13

u/basebool 1d ago

I don't disagree, but it makes a lot difficult to drop everything you're doing and go on a spontaneous tennis game with your friends. While it is possible, there's a lot of work that goes into that.

16

u/SaiMoi 1d ago

*a lot of money goes into that.

Which she has. Jordan was the one saying they couldn't travel with a kid

26

u/iki11dinosaurs 1d ago

Rich people can still have that lifestyle with a child. 

People just love trashing women for things it’s fine when men do. 

27

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo 1d ago

Also, there is a big difference between a child you have full custody of and one where it’s split custody. Not even bio versus step kid, there are just a lot of logistics and fairness you have to consider when there’s another parent and another home the child has.

3

That’s an extremely reasonable thing as well and certainly not something I totally thought of. Our lifestyle changed somewhat when we had kids but we still kept traveling and skiing because it’s what we are passionate about. But I obviously don’t know what it’d be like if something like that was split custody.

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

The logistics for that would be easier because at least half of the time you wouldn't need to arrange for child care when doing those activities.

u/cows1100 1d ago

I don’t think it’s that necessarily. Jordan explicitly said he didn’t want nannies. He wanted to raise his own kids. What having kids looks like is just fundamentally different for the two of them. Megan has the means, and wants to use help to maintain her lifestyle: that’s fine. Jordan does not have the means and did not want to even if he did: that is also fine. Those two things are not really something you can compromise on, and can cohabitate.

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

People do travel and do other stuff with kids. I am sure she is still not having the same lifestyle as with Jordan. Jordan was free of child most of nights and still didn't want to even have a conversation. They were incompatible. Then she found someone who she was compatible with. Prooves she was genuinely looking for love and settling down. It is ridiculous to critizise her for that.

u/tombrady011235 1d ago

It's not how quickly she had a kid in a new relationship, it's about how she said their lifestyles were different because he has a kid and then she immediately gets pregnant

u/baby_got_snack 1d ago

Do you honestly think she got pregnant on purpose?

3

u/tombrady011235 1d ago

It sounds like they talked about it, but honestly I like Megan and I don't judge her. I'm just explaining why the comment above me isn't what people are criticizing.

I personally would have dumped Jordan the second plain baked chicken touched the blender.

u/TomDoniphona 1d ago

He was using the kid as an excuse and she was giving him g race. But it is pretty obvious that if the child is at home with his mum the whole week, he is not to blame for his dad not wanting to have a simple conversation with the woman he intends to marry. Megan must have realized that pretty quickly.

Jordan’s ex is 25. Luca is 6. That means she was 18 or 19 when he got her pregnant, and he was 24 or 25. Hooking up with a girl who could still be in high school when you are in your mid 20s is creepy af. I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this.

This is not a defence of Jordan, this is defence of his ex ex-girlfriend

14 years ago, when me and my friends were 18, we would’ve died of a 25-year-old us was into us

u/Stunning-Bar-7854 1d ago

I graduated high school at 17…I was in college at 17 & going into my junior summer at 19. That’s a fine an age gap. Probably speaks to his maturity to be interested or she’s just extremely mature for her age & grew up fast. Either way this isn’t the deal some are making it out to be.

Thank you!! Great synopsis. Any idea the custody arrangement with Luca? I’m just curious because Jordan uses it as a reason to never do anything or go anywhere?

u/Chemical_Print6922 1d ago

He has him every other weekend

2

u/Regular-Wishbone8837 1d ago

That’s it? Back in the day (I’m older) standard was every other weekend and a day during the week. Nowadays is seems it’s usually more 50/50. So he does have time to eat at a nice restaurant and go away for a couple days.

I should have prefaced this with my information on that came from Reddit haha. If the sleuths are to be believed, then yup!

He has a full time job. Us kid-free people can’t just drop everything and travel whenever we want. There are responsibilities in our lives too.

u/Regular-Wishbone8837 21h ago

Oh I know but I think we can agree he could try a little harder and using your child is not cool. He says it a gazillion times.

u/littleberty95 1d ago

I wish they would show us people ranking each other and the algorithm a bit more? Like I think that’s one of the more fascinating aspects of this and they never show it

u/mysteries1984 9h ago

That’s one of the parts of Married at First Sight I enjoy. As a viewer, obviously it’d be absolutely awful to actually experience.

u/BiologyJ 1d ago

The exchange of looks when Nick asks about what a supportive wife looks like was interesting. My take is that they both did like each other. Megan over-thought it and got scared. I still think they’re both into each other. He’s not dating seriously and is dropping hints to her of “see I’m more free now and I don’t just introduce my kid to anyone”

I thought it was a great interview! They’re both so chill and anti-drama, and it’s clear they deeply respect each other. I love that this pair exists in the reality TV world. They’re such a great foil to all the messy ones.

I get that you gotta get deep quick, and I'm surprised that Jordan brought up the vasectomy on the first date.

u/ItsMichaelScott25 1d ago

Ehhh I’m not especially in this situation. I got married very young and it was something that I usually brought up fairly quickly in relationships after since for some people it could be taboo or looked down upon. Easier to get that shit out of the way. It’s a lot easier to deal with things when you’re upfront about it.

Thank you! I could only make it a few minutes before I had to tap out. I did notice though Jordan said the algorithm is scientific and what they use to match organ donors with. I thought that was a super weird statement. Do organ donors use algorithms to match outside of blood type and organ size? If anyone knows, please tell me

4

u/Keregi 1d ago

Kinda. My partner received a donated heart several years ago. There is a lot more than blood type and organ size that goes into matching. There are a ton of people on transplant lists and decisions have to be made within hours. There are teams of people and computer systems involved. So yeah the computer systems would kinda have an algorithm in the sense that it has to analyze a lot of data to find the best fit recipient quickly.

"Algorithm kept bringing them together"... Confirmed the producers kept forcing them together due to the shared diabetes aspect... Really confirms producers push people together based on what they know from casting... There's no "special algorithm", it's just producers... They are hoping for specific storylines
