Oh I don't think the cuties story is as bad as she made it out to be. They were about to go to dinner right?
ETA: Maybe I need to rewatch it. I have it on again.

I will say that saying no at the alter must be a bit easier knowing you didn't pay for any of it, the rings, the dress, the reception. Like you don't have that pressure of family being mad at you because they helped pay for it.

Did y’all notice the fly landing on the officiant? It made me laugh out loud for a second. Maybe more like guffaw but still.

Zanab and Cole are so interesting to me. I think when he was saying that they were actually much more playful together than the cameras showed, that's probably true. He seems like a lot of fun (but very immature). It was probably good for him to hear all that stuff about how hurtful he could be. I also didn't think the cuties story was exactly how she presented it, but she was already feeling insecure and so the conversation read differently to her. Like of course she noted that the two women he described as 10/10 were the two skinniest girls.
I REALLY want to know the truth about asking a girl for her number and trying to kiss her. That would be a buck wild story to make up out of nowhere. And all the guys were weirdly cagey?

I think he was blasted out of his mind and absolutely did tell her that story thinking it was going to go over as a 'OMG he turned down another girl for me?!?! He's so romantic/sweet/the absolute best and I must marry this man-child today!'. I do think he actually does not remember telling her this happened.

Okay I absolutely can’t stand Vanessa Lachey. She gets wayyyy too emotional during these reunions. I need someone with tough questions, but a little more objective. I do not need to hear her personal feelings or reactions while watching the show.

As someone in a second marriage myself, I loved it lol I will say that sometimes I make jokes like that because I feel self conscious about being on my second marriage; not sure if it's the same for them or not. I have so many thoughts, but mainly that I agree with what you guys are saying. {Spoiler} I was legit shocked at Colleen and Matt. I thought for sure one or both of them would say no. I like Alexa to watch on TV, but I'm not sure how much of her I could handle IRL. Bartise was and is a jerk. I actually think in about ten years Cole will be a great partner, if he continues to reflect on himself. Happy to see SK and Raven working on it. As much as I shit talked her, I thought she handled the whole thing in a very classy way, and there is genuine warmth between her and his mom. I hope they make it.
I would not be sad to see new hosts for the next season. Nick and Vanessa are really annoying.

SK and Raven are so damn cute. I love when he admitted he didn't know what pilates is.

I think Bartise really enjoys the sound of his own voice. The way he explains himself really gets on my nerves.

Colleen has looked so uncomfortable throughout this whole reunion. I felt like she was putting on an act the whole season, and now I feel like she’s just kind of tired 😆

As a stand alone it really seems like no big deal, but I could see how if it came on top of other comments over a longer period of time it could feel different to her.

I just hope Matt isn't has bad in real life as he was on the show. I liked him at first. I do feel a bit for him, having his ex-wife leave him because she was pregnant by another guy was probably devastating and created major trust issues. I hope he acknowledged that and is working on it.

Yeah, Colleen looked like someone was holding a gun to her head the entire time.

I also think Zanab is incredibly insecure and may have taken things on to have a deeper meaning than they were to Cole. Idk hearing how she twisted that story (the cutie story) and seeing it play out, I wonder how many other things she internalized and took the wrong way. FTR I stand by my thoughts that he is super immature and the things he said to and about Colleen were uncalled for, full stop. I also recall Zanab asking him for the rating and then asking about the 10s. Idk I think they both have things to work on, but I do like Cole much more now than I did at the beginning of the season and I don’t think he is a bad guy. I actually felt bad for him at the reunion.

I was about to say the same thing. I think he probably made comments like 'Oh getting a salad for that wedding dress bod?' in a joking manner because that's what he thinks is funny. Her insecurities made her read more into it than she should have. He did actually compliment her a lot but she just didn't seem to believe him when he did. Cole needs to be put in a barrel and aged a bit but I think he's a good guy at the end of the day.

But more than that, to me, she came across fearful. I might feel the same way married to Matt, tbh. I feel like he could be volatile and unpredictable.

I have very very different feelings regarding Cole than most here. I’ll just leave it at that though.

I was talking to a friend about it tonight, she has finally caught up. We talked a lot about the clementine scene.
I can see a world where Cole is an absolute jokester, and Zay is more rigid and serious, sometimes bordering on inflexible. I don’t think those personality traits mesh well together. Honestly, they don’t even balance each other out. And between the two of them, she doesn’t let herself be light hearted and he doesn’t take anything seriously. That clash doesn’t help things.
In the end they probably didn’t belong together in the real world, even tho in the pods they matched well. Once they find the people who truly get them and their quirks and idiosyncrasies, they’ll both be ok.

I will say that I wouldn't be shocked to find out that Cole acted way way different when the cameras weren't there. So while I said I think he's not a bad guy, he could just be really good at showing a charismatic side to the cameras while doing sly, little shit on the side. jubilantsquirrel, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts too! There is something to the fact that every single woman was expressing the same feelings about him soooo that's something.

I'm trying to remember now but didn't Brennon also express his not so positive feelings about Cole as well?
But then it was also weird how all of the guys were being weird about Cole getting a girls phone number.
