I agree with all of this. I was surprised Jimmy's 'girl' friends didn't pick up on any of Chelsea's desperation. I'm glad Jimmy tried to at least stand up for himself a bit, but he doesn't seem to be a very good communicator. It's like he freezes when Chelsea is spewing nonsense at him. I kept wanting to Cyrano de Bergerac for him and give him ideas of what to say back to her. And personally I would have flipped out at Ken for his behavior and then naming the issue as Brittani not desiring him enough. Yeah, she's not going to chase after you or be happy with whatever scraps you throw her like insecure Chelsea because she knows deep down she deserves more. I think that is why she was so quiet during their convo., because she was already done and just taking in what he was saying without feeling like she had it in her to argue with him or fight for him. And I'm sorry, but Laura deserved Jeramey staying out until 5 AM with Sarah Ann after Laura met up with Jessica and basically encouraged her to pursue things with Jimmy while being like...'yeah Chelsea and Jimmy seem in love, wink wink.' Laura and Jessica are nasty women. Not a great example for her middle school aged daughter. Yes! And that reminded me that Jessica mentioned when she got home, she took 2 days to herself, and THEN called her daughter to tell her she was home. I mean, I'm not a single mom, so I really am not in a place to judge, but I'm still judging. Unless she was really doing something for the show in those 2 days that she wasn't allowed to talk about, I don't understand why she wouldn't be seeing her daughter as soon as she got home. I mean, all parents deserve time to themselves, but that just struck me as off after she had been away for an extended period of time already.

I really dislike Laura, she’s a shit stirrer, throws stones and hides her hands person. I wasn’t sure about Jeremy at first but he’s growing on me
Clay is giving controlling vibes and AD deserves better.
I was so surprised about Brittani and Ken. It was like the definition of mutual uncoupling. I’d honestly be pissed off if I was woken up at 1.30 and expected to reciprocate affection and then have it thrown in my face when I didn’t.
I hope Amy and Jonny make it. They are cute together

I just finished episode 8. Few thoughts.
Hearing Jessica talk to Laura was so high school to me. Jess is kind of a dumbass when she talks. She sounds emotionally stunted. You would think they dated for 10 years. Girl please. She seemed boring to me during the pods. I wouldn’t have picker her either. Booooring.
I’m not even going to mention Chelsea bc it’s all a train wreck.
Im sad about ken flipping on brit. Bc like how hard would it have been like “hey im catching up with people, give me a few!” Totally ignored Brit once they got to Charlotte. Grow up bro.
I really like Jeremy. He seems fun and Laura seems like a fun squasher. Jimmy seems like a fun moron to me still.
I feel like it’s going to be Amy and Johnny last couple standing. Idk just rambling.

The ridiculousness of Laura losing her shit over Sara when she was literally talking with and encouraging Jess to do the same damn thing to Chelsea.

I was wondering if dad has majority custody or something, not that it matters. For me, if I was gone for weeks I'd be rushing home to my kids.

I was very much expecting something to happen with Sarah Ann but not like that.
I will give it to Laura, she stayed super calm, let him lie to her, then called him out on it, and just said I'm done and left. But yes, the irony of her encouraging Jess to pursue Jimmy and then that happening was karma. Laura is a snake though.

Also, I think I really like Jimmy now. Chelsea is... a lot. She just makes me sad, she's really pretty, she seems like she has most of her shit together, she just really needs like a smidge of Lauras' confidence and she'd be good.

Chelsea being all 'I'm leaving' and then shocked when Jimmy left instead was something.

watching episode 8 now, and if you’re taking about the sweetest break up I’ve ever seen on tv I’m so sad. I was rooting for them. But they were both so careful with each other in that moment. Yes, I was not expecting that. I thought they would be couple that made it. But you are right it was the nicest break up. It never felt like they really were more than friends to me, so I wasn't surprised. She seems sweet so hopefully will find her right person soon.

Ok, as much as I strongly dislike Laura, watching her bust him on where he was at 5am was kinda sweet. Like, she let him lie to her face and then just BOOM. I enjoyed that. It sucks that he's a jerk.

The fact that he shared his location with her then tried to lie about it was insane. He's a tool. And I'm annoyed that I liked him.

Ooooh, Reddit has receipts that Jeramy was engaged and owned a house with a woman (and her toddler! - not his bio kid) when he applied to the show. The former fiancee's mom has posted pics from her own phone on FB of them together.
And Sara posted a pic from his bedroom on Feb. 9.
Dude is an ASSHOLE.

But likely he was given away by his Apple Watch lol

Oh I’m cynical and I feel like the producers knew what was up. Anything for ratings and all that. Like when Jeramy said they do psych tests I was like producers are going to pick all the people with the most troubling answers and selections bc that’s what gets views.

A prior engagement wouldn't show up on a background check though. I mean, it would show he sold a house he owned with another woman but I think he can easily say he was previously engaged and they split. He made the choice not to divulge that in the pods. I don't see why they would reach out to the ex during a standard background check.
A shitty person can pass a background check and psych exam. Jeramey is an huge major asshole, but he's not a criminal or a psycho (maybe a narcissist, but I'm so not a psychologist).

I was going to say he couls excuse old pics from his social too but I forgot the part about him being engaged WHILE applying to the show. He doesn’t appear to post much though (I’m judging by his IG posts, he could have deleted a bunch) I’m getting over Covid so still slow on the uptake this week.

All the guys are trash this season.
Like even Johnny. I get he’s very adamant about not wanting kids yet, but it came across like he wants that to be on Amy. Boy bye. Birth control does craziness on women. I wouldn’t jump on them either.

Birth control does craziness on women. I wouldn’t jump on them either. I'm a little torn on the Johnny/Amy birth control issue. While I don't think Amy should have to go on hormonal bc if she doesn't want to, I also don't think Johnny getting a vasectomy with plans to reverse it when they are ready to have kids is a viable option either. It's been a while since I've researched effectiveness of things like condoms vs. birth control vs. vasectomy, but if Johnny is so worried about having kids RIGHT NOW that he doesn't think condoms alone are enough prevention, then I can see why they'd be at an impasse. It's not that I think Johnny shouldn't be willing to undergo surgery to make himself feel comfortable, it's that a vasectomy is INTENDED to be permanent, and I just don't think that's a good option for someone who wants to have kids in the future. If getting tubes tied was potentially reversible (I'm not sure if it is, but I don't think so), I would feel the same way about even considering that. This is where I feel icky about even delving this much into the show, because I don't think Amy had any reason for not wanting to go on birth control other than that she'd never been on it before and wasn't sure how it would affect her. But if she does have a reason, any at all, she shouldn't have to share that with the public at all. So it's enough for her to say 'I don't want to go on bc,' but at the same time, I feel like she said more of 'I'm not sure if I'd want to consider going on bc.' The fact that she'd be ok if an accidental pregnancy happened even if the timing wasn't ideal and that Johnny is adamant that he would NOT WANT a pregnancy that happened right now is a big issue in itself. The decisions about kids and if/when to have them is usually a staunch dealbreaker for relationships. But I don't blame one or the other for feeling the way they do.

I think asking Johnny to have a vasectomy as a form of birth control before kids is just stupid. I understand she doesn’t want to do something hormonal, but there are still other options.

I agree with this. Plus, reversals are not always successful. I feel like there is more to his adamance against having kids right away than they are showing. It seems like they want to be on the same page, but just have to figure it out. I def took from their discussion that he would want an abortion and she would not if it happened, which is obviously an issue. I hope they work it out, they both seem like good people who have the potential to be happy together.

I didn't interpret the BC talk as him trying to force her to go on it. It's a valid conversation. Also sexual education overall in this country is not great.
I'm crossing my fingers that stuff about Trevor is false. I was rooting for that one. But there have been so many seasons where the person who looks the best is actually the worst and vice versa. Raven and SK come to mind.

Agree about the vasectomy stuff, reversals rarely work and most of the time IVF is needed so that's not at all an option in my mind for someone who wants children in a few years.
I hate the people online (not here just in general) who say oh Jimmy is gunna see Jessica and leave Chelsea for her... like I don't see Jessica giving him the time of day what so ever! She made a tiktok that was strange in my eyes...it was her & her daughter and it said something like "when your kid thinks you went on tv to get money but it was a dating show so there's no money". I don't remember the exact wording but it was just odd.
I've also seen Chelsea dropping tiktoks trying to "explain" herself from the flaming saying "well it's a very emotionally charged situation and this and that" which seems tacky and fruitless. The world is gunna see you how they see you and make fun of certain things you said or did, that's the name of the game for being on a reality show. You gotta just live with it, you can't constantly try to undo or justify it.
