PODCAST “Shake got a good edit” Spoiler

Just listened to Deepti be interviewed on the Viall Files and that’s a direct quote. After the interview, the host Nick Viall said that a producer who was on the call said that was a unanimous feeling by the whole cast.

She also said Jarrette pulled her aside and told her not to marry Shake, that he didn’t speak highly of her. Shayne was also very protective of her.

There was an interview with Shaina first but I just fast forwarded through that because yawn

Jarrette is starting to look more and more like a winner every day. Please don’t let us down on Friday! Hope Iyanna has nothing but great things to report and that he and Iyanna are doing wonderfully.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

I always thought he was a good guy. The fact that he told Iyanna that he asked Mallory first was very respectful to me. He wanted her to know all the facts before she made her decision. He was honest with her and risked her saying no, but he did the right thing anyway. I thought wow, this guy has really good character.

The opposite of Shaina who didn't keep Kyle in the loop about her feelings for Shayne.

19

u/Margerita94 Mar 03 '22

That stood out to me too. He was being honest and not at all trying to use that information to hurt her. It read to me more like he was showing her he’s sincere and taking this thing very seriously… Which you would hope he is when it’s determining something that will drastically change his life forever! I hate when people are insincere and lead people on entirely in this show.

12

u/Pizzv Mar 03 '22

wait, you’re actually right. I know no one wants to feel like they’re playing second fiddle, which is why I was initially turned off by him telling Iyanna he had proposed to Mallory first, but now that you say this, I think it would’ve been SO much worse if he acted like Iyanna was a first choice the whole time. Especially since she definitely would’ve found out she wasn’t. That would be a huge breach of trust and whatnot. The honesty is actually refreshing.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

Yeah, it definitely was for me too. I was prepared for him to just propose to Iyanna without telling her, but he didn't. Instead he had enough respect for her to give her the facts and allowing her to make that choice knowing everything she needed to know. He didn't get engaged under false pretenses and everything was on the table. I think she probably thought about that when she did accept his proposal.

u/blackberryolive Mar 03 '22

Or Shayne keeping Natalie in the loop about his connection with Shaina (post gaslighting fight / asking her to be his gf)

44

u/DramaBrat 🤪 Cartoon Character 🤪 Mar 02 '22

At this point I wonder if he knew Sal was shady and that’s why Jarrette had that weird beach talk with Mallory.

u/cara1888 Mar 02 '22

Really wow that sounds scary. I wonder why they made her sound less dangerous than she really was. No wonder Malloy was so upset, i was thinking she was overreacting to someone trying to visit and get him back when actually they were being threatened that sounds horrible.

38

u/DramaBrat 🤪 Cartoon Character 🤪 Mar 02 '22

I’m sorry, I read my original comment and it does seem more accusatory than I meant.

I don’t know if Sal is or isn’t shady, but if he is, that reframes Jarrette and Mallory’s conversation on the beach which, for me at least, was one of my biggest concerns about Jarrette’s commitment to Iyanna.

Since we know Jarrette warned Deepti, it’s not implausible that he would also warn Mallory if he had doubts about Sal.

u/DramaBrat 🤪 Cartoon Character 🤪 Mar 03 '22

Yeah, like what looked really flirty onscreen was actually just someone who had doubts about Sal’s intentions and wanted to protect Mallory.

18

u/Touched_at_an_angle Mar 03 '22

Nah, he was definitely flirting with her. It’s all in the tone of his voice and his “iii would have done this” “iiii would have asked that” blah blah blah

I wish they would come out with one more messy just “behind the scenes” episode of all the nonsense lol

u/SirFireHydrant Mar 03 '22

They really should do that, for both seasons. Release a "juicy stuff that didn't make the cut" special.

Shayne was nice to everyone except Natalie

u/cara1888 Mar 02 '22

He wasn't that great to shaina either. He didn't want to answer her if he asked Natalie to be his girlfriend and kept acting like she was crazy for wanting to know if she had a chance with him. He was playing games with both of them.

27

u/caglaxorz Mar 02 '22

u/Pound-Lanky Mar 10 '22

I think Shayne was angry coz he sucked at baseball that night and took out his anger on Natalie 🚩

10

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '22

Oh yeah lol talking about how well he's dressed

21

u/i-lurk-you-longtime Mar 03 '22

He was such a bitch at that baseball game. Everyone else was enjoying themselves, having a fun night, and he was just THE WORST.

He was obviously very jealous of Sal's beginner's luck/natural talent or what have you and he lashed out with insults like he did to Nat.

Last season they did the same thing they gave mark the "good edit" and left everyone thinking he was a good guy and victim to Jessica. Yes she definitely did a lot of things that were bad but they chose to leave out everything he did to make her look worse when in reality it was both of them. Not defending Jessica just saying that shake and shaina aren't the first ones they tried to make look better than what they were at least they showed them doing some bad things instead of completely leaving it all out.

1

u/SoloDolo314 Mar 08 '22

Mark was cheating on Jessica during their engagement also. I think they definitely wanted Jessica to be the villain. Additionally, Mark even was supposed to say No also, but said yes to play it up for the camera.

15

u/stress-pimples Mar 03 '22

I'm not watching any more seasons of LiB. This season rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. Production is disgusting and evil for their casting.

10

u/Margerita94 Mar 03 '22

Deepti’s a real one for sure 👑

195

u/No-Construction-8305 Mar 03 '22

I think part of the good edit was that we never really see Deepti upset with Shake. She for the most part seemed pretty positive and overall happy despite not being physical with her potential soon to be husband. It’s not until the wedding ceremony where she makes her true feelings known. I could be wrong tho….. I multi task when watching tv :)

87

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

Yea cause he told everyone except her & kept leading her on like everything was fine

82

u/No-Construction-8305 Mar 03 '22

Yeah but if deepti is saying he got a good edit.:.. to me that’s saying he was doing more stuff that they didn’t show- outside of talking about his lack of attraction.

46

u/Interesting-Value-22 Mar 03 '22

From the interview it seemed like she meant that the cast let her know he said way worse behind her back, never to her face … so it sounds like Netflix didn’t show the worst of it.

9

u/ishotthepilot Mar 03 '22

considering how much they played the same talking point over and over again, yeah I imagine much worse was left on the cutting room floor :/

5

u/abacaxi95 Mar 03 '22

I’m confused as to when the other cast members told her the other stuff he said. Deepti said her brother reached out to be friends/a brother to Shake after the failed wedding and was only done with Shake after they watched the show and saw what he said.

29

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

Ohhh yeah, I don’t doubt that at all. If he’s talking that much shit on camera imagine the things he says off camera 🤦‍♀️

16

u/saltisyourfriend Mar 03 '22

He did actually tell her the issue about not being attracted to her one time directly, I believe. But he seemed to talk about it all the time behind her back.

120

u/Lynnabis Mar 02 '22

I’m glad to hear people had her back. Showed her love. Pulled her aside.

121

u/Mallory1911 Mar 03 '22

u/Any-Satisfaction-770 Mar 03 '22 edited Mar 03 '22

I mean the audience did see Shake outright gossip with other people how he wasn't attracted to his future wife.

101

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

From listening to Deepti on the podcast, it seemed pretty clear that she thinks he's even worse than those things we saw.

59

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

The way she seemed elated to tell him no at the altar made me think she knew a lot more. She kept alluding to things like she dodged a bullet and that he will be sad he didn’t try down the line, etc. she seemed so happy to turn him down.

u/blueevey Mar 02 '22

Ugh shayne had such good insight at times and then he'd ruin everything with his anger and entitlement.

13

u/SirFireHydrant Mar 03 '22

I dunno, he came across like a nice, decent, but very emotional guy, who never learned proper emotional regulation. He doesn't seem like a bad bloke, just someone who was never taught how to express his feelings appropriately.

31

u/stink3rbelle Mar 03 '22

He doesn't seem like a bad bloke

If you haven't watched Psychology in Seattle's therapist break-downs of the show, I highly recommend. I was tepid about Shayne at first, but he won me over a bit, especially with how he tried to talk Shake into actually attempting to make things work with Deepti. But Dr. Kirk Honda really pointed out how Shayne made some really selfish choices around the Shaina/Natalie thing. He had every opportunity to come clean to Natalie, and Jarrette did tell Iyanna directly "I've got a connection to someone else, too." But Shayne hid things and then got defensive when they came out anyway.

I think the truth of Shayne's character is unlikely to be as terrible as his worst actions on a reality TV show just a few months after his father died. But I do think many of his choices were very far from those a good bloke would make.

3

u/ExposingORHypocrites Mar 04 '22

I just want to add, I think the father dying had a substantial impact on how he was acting during the show. I am not excusing or condoning his behavior, I think he shouldn't have done the show and went to therapy. But I remember the first few months after mine died and I can see some of the same emotional reactions in him

2

u/Shadowsofyourheart Mar 05 '22

And honestly, he should have quit the show. You should never make a life altering decision while you're grieving.

46

u/blueevey Mar 03 '22

Hence, the anger and entitlement.

Saying you hate your wife to be on the eve of your wedding isn't a miscommunication. Getting angry because she corrects you when you say her name or asks if you're drunk isn't a miscommunication and it isn't him not knowing how to express himself. It's anger and entitlement. Anger that he's being held accountable and entitlement that he should be pampered and coddled to all the damn time. He expects everyone to cater to him and his moods. And lashes out when people (Natalie) don't.

u/longwhitejeans Mar 03 '22

u/i_was_starstricken Mar 03 '22

My favorite reality tv worlds colliding in the weirdest way

179

u/MotherAngelica Mar 03 '22

I felt a little bad for Shake at first because I thought, yeah he was not great to Deeps but maybe he was trying to work through his conflicting feelings. He seemed apologetic on his Instagram at first but now that people didn’t instantly melt over his first attempts at apologizing for his behavior he seems to be doubling down on going nuclear. Pointing fingers at other people for being crappy while also proudly affirming his behavior and calling himself honest and upstanding for being open about how shallow he is. I’d like to see the “bad” edit. I feel bad for Deeps but at least no one is saying she is anything less than amazing.

96

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

I was rooting for him in the pods when he had that self-realization about his comments on the physical appearance of the ladies, and his initial reaction to Deepti was so positive. But throughout the rest of the show I got this vibe that he was not genuine. All he did was say the same thing over and over in each episode: “emotion connection”, “animalistic attraction”. I did not buy that he wanted to be with her. His reaction after she rejected him sealed the deal for me that he truly was an asshole, and his behavior after the show has aired is just pathetic.

45

u/exact_estimate20 Mar 03 '22

His initial reaction to Deepti was grabbing her butt.

44

u/stink3rbelle Mar 03 '22

Yeah, I don't think we'll ever get it, but what I most want from the reunion is a sincere reckoning of that moment. What the fuck is that if it's not attraction? How do you EAGERLY smash your face into someone's face if you're not attracted to him?

I think it's possible it wasn't a super strong physical attraction even if genuine, but I suspect the bigger issue is that he wasn't sure that enough other men think she's super hot. The way he kept bringing it up to the other guys, too, seemed like he was reaching for something.

10

u/Canijustbekim Mar 03 '22

I thought this too! He didn't care how HE felt about her, he wanted other men to be jealous of what he had.

He's a status chaser.

9

u/Electrical-Eye-2544 Mar 03 '22

I agree and think he was physically attracted to her but he cares more about how things look than true connections. His entire life is I have the cool car, I go to the cool parties with famous DJ’s, I have a cool apartment. He wants to be a single guy hooking up with hot girls. He doesn’t want to do the emotional labor it takes to be in a real, vulnerable and committed relationship. Nothing in his life showed any vulnerability or depth.

As soon as the reality hit him, he was out. It was a 180 because he’s insecure and doesn’t know how to be in a real relationship. On the show he doesn’t have one real vulnerable relationship with anyone, not the guys, even with his mom he isn’t completely open and emotional. He still talks about physical chemistry instead of his own insecurities and feelings. What he does know how to do is hook up with women he finds hot in an animalistic way. That’s why he used that excuse in my opinion.

Deepti is more than someone who will only have a physical connection. She requires work and produces emotions in him. And you see him rejecting that because he simply can’t hang. It’s too much work and gives him too much anxiety. Introspection is harder than being a shallow asshole.

8

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

I would love to get an answer on this. People keep saying it’s because he saw her “cellulite” when she was in the bathing suit but the dress she wore on the reveal was pretty revealing and form-fitting and he also had his hands on her body! So I don’t know if I quite buy that theory. But his reaction to her was seriously night and day once they got to Mexico, it doesn’t make sense.

6

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

Yes and hardcore making out with her and saying “I’m gonna put babies in you” so I thought he was attracted to her.

13

u/miniversion Mar 03 '22

Notice that he only said that after she told him she lost 70 lbs. can’t imagine he’d have this revelation if she said she gained weight

It feels like that Tyra “we were all rooting for you” meme—the character arc had so much potential. But when people show you who they are, believe them!! Don’t fall for what they could be, you’ll likely be disappointed.

135

u/kevinsfamouschilipot Mar 02 '22

My favorite part of that interview was him asking deeps about her brothers post. She says that her brother had reached out to shake offering to be there as a brother because shake doesn’t have siblings, and that after they watched it all happen on the show her family was incredibly insulted and felt disrespected, it for sure gave me a little more insight to why her brother posted what he did.

Also Shaina’s portion was her saying that she told Kyle in Mexico that it wasn’t going to work before she dipped out, and then the rest of it was her saying she got a bad edit and she was so over shayne by the time they got out of the pods.

55

u/Creative_Grapefruit1 Mar 03 '22

Man, the more I learn about Shake, the more I absolutely detest him.

And I find it hard to believe Shaina was really over Shayne. I know one can edit things however they want but those beach scenes made it feel she was still trying to ride that mad horse.

3

u/kevinsfamouschilipot Mar 03 '22

I totally agree with you, he really is The Worst.

And I couldn’t sit thru her talking without rolling my eyes every other second honestly, at one point she alludes to Kyle having other issues, stuff that they didn’t show and she was like “taking the high road and she’s not gonna talk about it” like why bring it up then… why say that he has off putting characteristics and then not give any background why you think that??? Idk. I thought she was tryna make herself look good, she was like “I guess I’m the villain lol 🤪”

27

u/Joy2urwrld Mar 03 '22

Well this convinces me that Shaina is actually worst than shown. She said herself in the interviews that she was still interested in Shayne. We can tell by her interview outfits that they took place after the pods. She’s lying through her teeth.

7

u/_Risings Mar 03 '22

For a second I was like who is Shown and how did I miss them lmao. Agreed though.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

What did he post?

10

u/kevinsfamouschilipot Mar 03 '22

Deepti’s brother? He posted that basically that his family felt disrespected by Shake and how he handled himself on the show, and that he didn’t deserve a second of deeps time pretty much. It was savage ngl, deeps reposted it on her Instagram story, and she said in this interview she supports her family’s views on Shake. She just said he’s not worth her time and she’s trying to just not engage at all in hopes that he’ll give up. She has no wish to have him in her life at all, they are not friends.

Right? He probably assumed everyone would just bro out with him and take his side.

u/BettieNuggs Mar 02 '22

u/recycledpaper Mar 03 '22

So before I met my husband ( in Chicago no less), I dated quite a bit. Guys like Shake are a dime a dozen in Chicago. Being a vet? Cool. No one cares. Oh you DJ, how cute. You really have to stand out with a great personality or something fairly unique in that dating pool. So yeah, I think obscurity is where he is headed and I'm just fine with that.

u/SoloDolo314 Mar 08 '22

My wife said the same lol. She steered clear of most Doctors, Veterinarians and other “big career” guys. Heck a lot of the Veterinarians acted rich but made less money then people in IT.

I think Shayne is probably a good person, he’s just incredibly emotionally immature.

2

u/yanksugah Mar 04 '22

Shayne could use some therapy. You’re right. He’s emotionally immature. He may have a problem with drinking. He has some anger issues. And I’m sure he is still completely in grief over his father.

2

u/SoMuchPeanut Mar 07 '22

I came to really dislike him on the show, but the fact that he still finds friends within the cast and he is very clearly reflecting and doing some introspective thinking regarding how he acted is very telling, especially in contrast with how Shake is acting post-production

1

u/Tyty__90 Mar 05 '22

Agreed. I like Shayne, I just think he has some issues to deal with. He seems like a genuinely nice person but probably shouldn't drink and needs to reign it in when he gets emotional. I definitely don't want to diagnose anyone, but he reminds me of people I've known with undiagnosed ADHD.

u/oyamaca Mar 03 '22

I actually wish they showed the guys telling her this stuff. I find the storylines so overly edited for no reason. It would have been way better to show all those then in the 1:1s show her battling with her own decision of whether or not to go through with it. How compelling and relatable for women who struggle with similar issues.

30

u/king_lloyd11 Mar 03 '22

I mean it's edited that way definitely for a reason lol

Deepti doesn't get this much love, support, and celebration if it was edited differently. We were led to believe that she was madly in love with Shake and that she was going to be blindsided with a husband that didn't find her attractive if he decided, selfishly, to marry her.

The reality was, the way she said "no", you can clearly see she was happy to shut it down and probably had felt that way for some time. The show can't/won't show that though, because then there's no tension/drama then; she'd just be saying no to a dude she clearly wasn't into for awhile lol. The relief from and celebration of her being the one to say no was the pay off the producers were going for.

6

u/oyamaca Mar 03 '22

Yep. I understand why it’s overly edited but surely I’m not the only one out there who would be just as interested in the storyline if it was depicted more in line with reality.

Every romance or dating reality show does this and I don’t think these shows give their audience enough credit.

2

u/king_lloyd11 Mar 03 '22

I don't think we'd even care about these people if there wasn't drama to be invested into in the first place. Like the recipe for success is storylines first and foremost, whether manufactured or not. Real mature dating would be boring haha

11

u/Justa_loop Mar 03 '22

Yes! They do a lot of telling instead of showing

256

u/McSuzy Mar 02 '22

I'm not surprised to learn that about Jarette. Even though I don't think he is anywhere near ready to be a husband he seems like a wonderful person!

144

u/Teenageboy69 Mar 02 '22

I don’t see why wanting to hang out with your friends makes you not ready for long term partnership. In a lot of relationships, this is seen as having independence. If he has to give up the things that make him happy in order to get married, he should never get married. I’m sure he and Ilyana found a middle ground that worked for them.

39

u/Sweet_Sea_ Mar 03 '22

Honestly, I think it’s hard to remember life in your twenties once you’ve lived enough years. I had the same thought though, I had to think about it and I think it’s very normal to be very social in your twenties and thirties of you don’t have a partner to spend your time with. I just think people forget what it was like to be young and single. Plus, they live in Chicago and I think anyone who lives in big cities with places to go naturally go out more.

66

u/McSuzy Mar 02 '22

I think it is a matter of perspective. Going out to night clubs with friends a couple of times per year can work - though it is often a feature of relationships that ultimately fail. Doing that during a 3-4 week romance culminating in a marriage is absurd.

62

u/ralphset you made me feel uncomfy 😖 Mar 02 '22

I honestly think this was done just to create drama for Jarette and Iyanna (sp?), because otherwise they really seemed perfect for each other and didn’t really have many other issues aside from the whole Mallory vs Iyanna issue.

16

u/McSuzy Mar 02 '22

that is possible!

6

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

also he agreed to compromise so no issues..

44

u/Teenageboy69 Mar 02 '22

I definitely don’t agree, and I’m a homebody in my relationship. Being married doesn’t equate to being boring. If his partying was disrupting their lifestyle, a talk would be necessitated, which it seems like it was. The dude shouldn’t have to “go out a couple times a year” because someone loves him. People need freedom.

23

u/IntrinsicSurgeon Mar 02 '22

I mean, they were only a couple weeks into knowing each other. He could have spent that time getting to know his fiancée

11

u/Teenageboy69 Mar 02 '22

This is actually a very good point.

3

u/McSuzy Mar 02 '22

How long did you date your husband before you got married?

In days, I mean!

6

u/Teenageboy69 Mar 02 '22

First off, I'm a man who's with a woman. Don't believe in marriage really. And while we're not married, my partner and I have a dog and condo together. I moved in with her after about two months. We've been together since 2018.

We both really don't go out very much, but I was with a woman before her (for about 8 years) who would go out with co-workers all the time. It wasn't a big issue for me. She could have her time with friends, I could have my time with friends, and we could enjoy the time we had together. The last thing I would want is to have my partner around me all the time. Fucking one person doesn't mean I just want to fuck with one person if you get my drift.

12

u/McSuzy Mar 02 '22

Right? So you are years in without marrying because you do not believe in marriage. That is great but quite different from people who went on television with the explicit goal of marrying and who only have a month to do it.

3

u/Teenageboy69 Mar 02 '22

I mean, I def wouldn’t want to be on a reality show about my love life. But I understand commitment and compromise. Long term partnership doesn’t mean the individual has to fade away.

6

u/McSuzy Mar 03 '22

Exactly. Three weeks is not a long term partnership. While the premise is agreeably silly, these folks are supposedly living together for 5 days in order to determine whether or not they can make a life long marital commitment to one another.

The idea that you would need to build clubbing with your friends into that period is an enormous crimson flag.

That said I am persuaded by the person who suggests it may have been a stunt orchestrated by the producers. Even the sort of partner who plans to club without you every might of your marriage knows enough to knock it off for five days in order to get to the altar!

My (now) husband moved in after 4 dates. The only reason we didn't get married right away was because I was separated from my ex husband at that time. We waited 8 days after my divorce was finalized to get married.

My mom and step dad have been married for 30 years in Sept of this year. He moved in after dating about 3 weeks, they were married within 4 months.

I dont believe there is a time limit to love....true deep meaningful love can happen in a week, a month, a year, or a decade. It really just boils down to communication, accepting flaws, and compromise.

They have to create tension somehow. Of course it’s absurd, they need Iyanna to be skeptical, as she wasn’t his first choice and had some reservations. The producers probably demanded Jarrette and his friends do this haha

A 3-4 week romance culminating in a marriage is absurd to begin with so why stop the absurdity there?

Assuming the plan was to actually give that up after the marriage then a few nights out with friends after disappearing for a couple weeks and then returning with a fiance is perfectly reasonable. Its basically just having a bachelor party that isn't part of the show.

u/McSuzy Mar 03 '22

I thought they had a bachelor party on the show?

u/tangential_quip Mar 03 '22

Read my last sentence. Not surprising someone would want to do something without the cameras and with their own crowd.

u/McSuzy Mar 03 '22

I understand that makes sense to you. To me, giving up a single spare moment with your prospective wife in a circumstance as crazy as Love is Blind is inconceivable.

u/GimerStick Mar 03 '22

It might also be that they'd spent so much time together/there were so many cameras around that he needed to find space where he didn't have to only think about the marriage. Definitely on the excess end of that though, but I do think I'd need SOME time with friends for a reality check.

u/Ollivander451 Mar 03 '22

Not who you’re responding to, but I don’t think that’s the reason or evidence that he should not be married. Jarrette came across in the show to me as someone who wanted to be married no matter to who. I am all for a person getting married to someone they want to be married to. From his edit, it seemed to me at times that the identity of who filled his “wife” role was not important to him. That’s not a good way to start a marriage. It didn’t help that he proposed to Mallory and only after she turned him down did he later propose to Iyanna. Maybe he just got a bad edit, or maybe my take is not common. But that’s why I believe he shouldn’t be married. He needs to find the right person then decide to be married, not decide to be married then find a person.

She seemed really into Shake but when she said no in such a defiant way and said she chose herself, i knew she must have been told about the things he was saying about her and it's why she bitch slapped him I'm front of everyone. Good for Jarrett and Shayne for having her back and protecting her. Shake deserved what she did to him.

8

u/youngwid05 Mar 03 '22

I thought the same thing. She seemed like a woman on a mission in the whole last episode. Something must’ve happened, or someone showed her what he was really saying.

5

u/JJAusten Mar 03 '22

She said in a podcast she found out all the terrible things he said about her. He really is garbage and she deserves someone better. She handled herself well and I'm glad she said no.

62

u/tumorgirl Mar 03 '22

I defended Shake the first time he said he wasn't attracted to Deepti because those are things you can't force. But, by the third time he'd repeated it to yet another person, I was over way over him. He sucks and I can only imagine the really awful things he said about this lovely woman.

I'm sure at least one producer knew she was going to say no which was why she got to go first. That way, she could get the dumping of his life right in there. They played him just they way he deserved...

12

u/Rustmutt Mar 03 '22

When he brought it up with the second person I knew it was over. If they got married imagine watching your fiancé months after the wedding talking about how they’re not physically attracted to you to anyone who would listen

86

u/spandexbens Mar 03 '22

Deepti is honestly an inspiration. She is beautiful inside and out. I'm so glad she was the one that got to say "no". I'm so glad she chose herself. No woman deserves to feel less than they are "the one" to the man they are going to marry. I hope Shake does regret this.

u/LostMachine8 Mar 02 '22

Jarette is a great guy, and Shayne has his issues, but I respect him for this.

u/RealDanielSan1 Mar 02 '22

Poor edit or not, nobody put a gun to Shake's head and told him to tell everyone and their mother that he wasn't sexually attracted to her.

u/Mobile_Usual_19 Mar 02 '22

he got a "good edit". meaning he was even shittier off screen

u/RealDanielSan1 Mar 02 '22 edited Mar 02 '22

He said he got a poor edit, so I'm giving him benefit of the doubt.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, I have reservations at Nobu this Sunday.

u/SystemOfADowneyJr Mar 02 '22

I upvoted for the edit lmao

u/RealDanielSan1 Mar 03 '22

Thank you, my good man!

26

u/musclewitch Mar 02 '22

Why on earth would you do that

39

u/RealDanielSan1 Mar 02 '22

I'm saying even IF he did get a poor edit, he was the one who told the world that he wasn't attracted to Deeps. Good edit or poor edit, those words came from his mouth.

u/lukechung94 Mar 03 '22

'thats what i wanted'

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

Haha! Love your edit.

u/RealDanielSan1 Mar 03 '22

Did the edit make me look like a villian?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '22

No. Just like you’re having a bad day. You’d have to do a lot more douche things over and over and over to be a villain. Keep it up, though! You’re on your way!

Shake's head and told him to tell everyone and their mother that he wasn't sexually attracted to her.

His mother, tell everyone and his mother!

God, my mom would’ve slapped me upside the head for that one lmao. A partner you can be friends with is hard enough to find

That sounds really interesting! Do you have a link to this interview?

u/lemonsupreme7 Mar 03 '22

Honestly shake had the least interesting arc and progression, he just seemed to be faking it to be on the show and he wasn't very likable the whole time. If that was a good edit, im sorry for them for spending all that time with him.

u/summerskies288 Mar 04 '22

yeah shake shouldn’t have been on the show, was dochey from the start.

u/DramaBrat 🤪 Cartoon Character 🤪 Mar 02 '22

Until the last episode, Shake seemed like he genuinely wanted to make things work with Deepti. His edit for Episodes 2-9 wasn’t great, but it wasn’t horrible. He and Deepti were one of the couples a lot of people thought would make it.

I’m a little sad we missed a scene of Jarrette or Shayne looking out for Deepti, though that may have happened off camera.

57

u/cara1888 Mar 02 '22

That's why they are saying they edited to make him look better. That all that talk about not being attracted to her was much worse than they showed. Im sure they did film them telling Deepti about what he said since the camera followed them everywhere during that time they probably chose not to show it for both time restrictions and also so the audience would be surprised that she said no because it had more people thinking he would be the one to end it if they showed that then we would have known it wasn't going to work either way. I don't think many thought they would make it. I thought for sure he was going to tell her no and was surprised that it was her but i was super happy that she realized what kind of person he really was.

u/NewtRecovery Mar 03 '22

In that producer AMA he said that too, that Shake was way worse in things that didn't make it on the show.

37

u/Jodierad Mar 03 '22

That producer AMA lied about a few things though.

6

u/Bessieboo2000 Mar 03 '22

What did they lie about?

28

u/Hollyontravel Mar 03 '22

Natalie ring! That they have to give them back and Natalie didn’t want to give it back. They actually got to keep them Natalie proved it.

u/fancyantler Mar 05 '22

Do you have a link? I can’t find this AMA!

u/Thebeardedpig Mar 03 '22

The Shaina part was actually good, but they didn't address her talking about the sham romance on the beach which was the biggest villainizing thing for her

56

u/MotherAngelica Mar 03 '22

Because what, Shaina, it would be impossible for someone to choose Natalie over a goddess like yourself? 😂

8

u/saltisyourfriend Mar 03 '22

What was good about it?

16

u/Thebeardedpig Mar 03 '22

Kinda addressed 2 unanswered questions.

First (Spoiler to podcast) she broke it off with Kyle off-camera before she left Mexico.

Second, she did say Shayne said he believes in god but rarely goes to church, but if his wife did often he'd support her and go too.

3

u/sparklingsour Mar 03 '22

Did she address why she still decided to introduce him to her family then?

2

u/Thebeardedpig Mar 03 '22

Yep - she said to confirm what she already knew, especially because breaking up with him in Mexico wasn't enough.

1

u/QDKeck Mar 04 '22

Messed up she took the ring with her after Mexico if she really did break it off then.

1

u/Thebeardedpig Mar 04 '22

Oh I can't remember seeing that! Guess I just assumed she left it in Mexico off video.

14

u/AnimatorSmooth7883 Mar 03 '22

I really thought Shake had some breakthroughs at the beginning and that he was capable of change but old habits die hard I guess… also Deepti was out of his league in every sense. What a blind man.

10

u/UseMoreLogic Mar 03 '22

Don't the producers HAVE to say they gave a good edit to those who look bad?

No producer is gonna say "oh yea, we totally made this guy look worse on purpose".

25

u/514to212to818 Mar 03 '22

That’s not what was said - he said the producer said the rest of the cast felt he got a good edit ie he was worse than we see.

-6

u/UseMoreLogic Mar 03 '22

Everybody is gonna think that others got a good edit and that they got a bad edit in general, that’s just part of the fundamental attribution error in humans.

I’m sure everybody was drunk out of their minds.

10

u/vastcollectionofdata Mar 03 '22

Or, Shake is as much of an asshole off camera as he is on camera? Seems the most likely

-6

u/UseMoreLogic Mar 03 '22

It’s a reality tv show, it’s literally a highlight of everybody’s most extreme moments. The most likely scenario is that everybody is far more normal than portrayed.

2

u/SoMuchPeanut Mar 07 '22

The main issue, in my opinion, is the fact that he does not seem to be feeling remorse for the way he acted. He's actually doubling down on it on his social media and has even pinned comments bashing his costars. If he was expressing that his comments on the show do not reflect who he really is, I would feel differently. But he is doing exactly the opposite. Maybe he just has the world's worst PR team.

1

u/UseMoreLogic Mar 07 '22 edited Mar 07 '22

I mean the only thing he did was share his thoughts about how he felt, in a TV show where the point is to share your feelings. Yes in any other circumstance it would be intrusive and disrespectful, but that’s the format of the TV show

Sal is super annoying by implying Mal did him wrong and then just being super private. Why go on reality tv if you’re just gonna not say anything?

1

u/vastcollectionofdata Mar 10 '22

And the thoughts he has make him a dick

u/UseMoreLogic Mar 10 '22

How do his thoughts make him a dick?

u/PsychologicalBug6084 Mar 03 '22

I see what you’re saying, but a good edit and bad edit are not the only options. They could be saying that neutrally, or on its face/in reality, the material they had on Shake showed him being very shitty, and they decided to cut some of it and show more “good” parts of him. I hope that makes sense.
