(Sorry I'm blowing up this thread, guys, I'm working hard to ignore some things in real life that I don't want to deal with rn lol)
I have a big problem with Jessica involving her child in her public persona and social media posts so much. I wish the laws for influencers and children would move faster. That kid did not choose this, and even if she says she wants to be a part of it, she is nowhere near being able to provide consent for the exposure that she is getting. She is being set up for bullying at best, and sexualization/evil people on the internet at worst. Plus with Jessica striking me as a rather unkind and shallow woman...it just gives me ick. Keep children out of it.

I’m through episode 8.
Jimmy has grown on me and I think Chelsea is really insecure. I get it’s an expedited experience but when getting back to real life, they generally seem to get lost in the 100% focus they were given in the 2 weeks prior.
I like Amy and Johnny. I hope they work out, but the BC impasse is interesting. I don’t get the vibe he is pressuring her to get on BC. It’s kind of refreshing to see a BC conversation.
I was surprised by Ken and Brit. I liked them and the breakup was so mature. I thought the waking her up at 1:30 was a ridiculous argument, but clearly there was more to their breakup.
I think Laura and Jessica are catty and playing their parts for drama. Jeramy always seemed like a snake even in the pods. The staged house was so silly. I’m glad he was called out. I’m surprised Jessica didn’t reach out to her daughter for 2 days. For as much she missed autumn in the pods, it seems weird. Maybe she was really nursing the heartbreak, but it seems a bit off.

I’m not saying Johnny is pressuring Amy or even think a vasectomy is comprable. Y’all do too much sometimes. It’s not the first time Johnny mentioned birth control. I think he had a conversation with one of the other girls (forget who) about not really thinking about it before bc the women have already been on it. So his only options, if BC is off the table is to trust his condoms or abstinence. I’m not saying he’s a dick, but birth control is not vitamins and shit. I understand her not wanting to be on them.

I say that as someone who refused to go back on birth control while married. I hated it so much when I was on it. We had protected sex on my fertile window and we’re able to have unprotected sex the rest of the time. It worked for me. It’s posible to track your cycle as birth control. It’s not all or nothing. Which is the part that drove me nuts about that conversation.
But also my H and I had a conversation and were okay if we accidentally got pregnant. That’s where amy and Johnny weren’t synching up. I’m more concerned for that part tbh. Men get off the hook too much with this tho.

I wouldn't be surprised if Matt got a bad edit, but how do you badly edit that he said the same things to AD that he said to Amber?

I’m mostly a lurker, but I have to talk about episode 10 when anyone finishes. All I can say is run, Jimmy. Run fast and far.

I was so proud of Jimmy for standing up for himself, and then he just folded.

Chelsea is crazytown. If someone told me that they don't like to go out I wouldn't think that meant ever. I would think that meant he's not at the club and bars every weekend until 2am. Not that he doesn't like to go out and be social occassionally. Her repeatedly saying he lied to her is nuts. She's nuts.

I kind of adore Jimmy now which is crazy cause he really is kind of bland. She was very much drunk so maybe that's why he forgave her? But yes, very much agree if it was the other way around, we'd be calling it abuse. I can only imagine what his girl friends are saying to him watching the show back.

I don't think they get married though. She posted a video on IG about getting her ass dragged and it's definitely from her apartment.

Also Jimmy and Jess' conversation was super mature and not what I expected. And I kind of like Laura now? I don't know if it's cause I feel bad for her though.

The way AD dragged Sara Anne was delightful. She was classy and masterful at it.

I think Jimmy is just trying to convince himself he loves Chelsea and she’s the one, since she’s the one he chose. He doesn’t actually, especially when the crazy, needy comes out, but doesn’t want to admit she’s not it. She needs so much validation and is so insecure. Girl needs a good therapist and to work on herself before she goes anywhere near a relationship.

I wonder how triggered Chelsea's ex husband is watching this, if he is.

On episode 10, why is Chelsea crying about Jimmy going out for 1 hour. Dude hasn’t gone out in 3 months. Is he never supposed to go out with friends, ever? I would have walked out and said peace. She is so insecure and controlling. And outing him sleeping with the friend when he told her off-camera and obviously didn’t want that public.
And either she is good with him having friends who are girls or not. He knew them before her. I thought it was weird at first he only recently became friends with them but idk I don’t like the idea of someone telling someone who they can and can hangout with. Now if he just met a new girl and starting hanging with her, that would probably make me uncomfortable.

As an aside, why do they always have the gold cups? Chelsea and Jimmy go on a date at a carnival in episode 11 and they have the gold wine glasses, even there. Do the producers not want people to know what they are drinking?

If they want to splice conversations together, it's easier to do it when you can't see how full or empty the glass is at any point.

So i got my eyebrows done yesterday and during the normal chit chat with the lady who does my brows, we started talking about this show. Apparently, Aaliyah from season 5 lives nearish me now (she's travel nurse) and goes to the same brow lady as me!
she confirmed that Aaliyah is gorgeous and the kindest person.

I can’t believe it took Jeramey 3 days to come up with the ‘I gave her a ride home’ lie. Cause if that was the truth he would have said that and not ‘I don’t want to talk about that right now’

I love AD. She is fantastic and I loved her mom too. I don’t mind Clay. I think he’s a bit insecure, but isn’t giving me major red flags like it seems others may see. I hope they work out.
Chelsea’s drunk argument was nuts. He deserves better and she was grasping at straws. They won’t work out for sure. I was surprised that the Jess meeting was very tame and mature by both of them.
Jeramy and Sarah girl deserve each other. They are terrible.
I hope Amy and Johnny make it. I like them a lot. They seem effortless (minus the BC stuff). I loved his honesty about not knowing what all went into getting snipped.
I also thought it was interesting and sweet how different their dates were. Glamping for A&J is perfect. Renting a whole damn theme park was so over the top and eye roll worthy.

I’ve been watching the Japanese version and they just have regular glasses. Also it’s fascinating seeing the differences in cultures
