Barista is a trash bag of a human. Fuck that guy for real. He got off so easy in the reunion. he looked so punchable with that dumb bun on the top of his head

I think the editors including that cuties scene at the very end was weird too but I can’t articulate It definitely made me uncomfortable because it felt like they were going out of their way to prove Z wrong (I don’t feel like prove her wrong is the right sentiment here but I can’t find the word I’m looking for). I think the producers were covering their ass in case the viewer narrative became “LIB saw this abuse and did nothing” they wanted to show what they actually had. My thoughts on the whole situation are very much that producers are going to work to get the best, most dramatic show at the cost of how it makes contestants look. So if they had hot drama from Cole it would’ve aired. I also think Cole and Zanab are both good people who need therapy and definitely should not be married to each other.

i couldn't have rolled my eyes any harder at that IG post from Zanab. Fucking please! And the fact she turned off comments?! yeah, ok.
Personally, i don't really care for either Cole or Zanab in the end. I think they're really just a bad fit, with wildly different personalities, but Zay comes out looking worse IMO. She's extremely insecure and needy, seeking validation and confidence from a young frat bro who doesn't have enough life experience to understand his goofy jokes and funny personality isn't a good fit 100% of the time. (I've been the needy insecure person and the cuties scene also would've upset me at that time in my life, but that was a me issue, not the delivery. I'm also confident and secure now, and if H said to me now it wouldn't bother me. so i see it both ways).

Oh, I turned it off before the cutie story last night. I just watched it - that was not how she portrayed it

Zanab was getting absolutely dragged in her comments yesterday. I can’t be mad at her for turning off the comments if it means protecting her own mental health 🤷♀️

i just think Zanab really wanted to be this seasons Deepti...and massively misjudged not only her appeal, but also her delivery.
Also, the whole bachelor party stuff...i think she's lying. none of the other guys remember it happening, even Brennen, who would love to throw him under the bus because Alexa fucking hates Cole.

Brennon reminds me of a guy I went to school with from grade 7 on through HS graduation; I have a soft spot for him just from that, admittedly, I think he's a genuinely caring person who really will love and cherish Alexa, he's so enamored of her, clearly. What sealed the deal for me as a fan of him though was him speaking up at the reunion shutting down Cole's use of "crazy" and "insane" as descriptors, plus he says bugaboo and that reminds of me Good Will Hunting (heart heart heart) kellykapow , I'm curious about what he did to bug ya. I think as others mentioned, he doesn't seem to have an opinion of his own. Pardon me for using this term, but he gives Pick Me. Also I just think he's kinda boring, so overall a meh to me. Obviously still better than most of the male cast though!

I really wonder what would have happened if Cole had picked Colleen over Zanab. Would they have gotten married? Would he have come off less terrible if he was with someone who appreciated his humor/personality more?

I actually went back to really disliking Raven in the last few episodes. She is really, really self centered. He has all these ambitious goals and is so thoughtful and playing the long game, and she basically always just says, "Mmk, but my wants are important and I don't want my lifestyle to be compromised at all." That's not a partner. She doesn't deserve him. I just finished watching the weddings, so we are beyond this, but I actually think it was totally fair for her to say this. She knows what she wants, and she shouldn’t have to compromise if she doesn’t want to. I could see further into a relationship, having to be more flexible. But this early on, when they haven’t fully connected, or made the full commitment? Meh. They have different goals, and that’s fine.

I just watched the weddings, and cried during Alexa and Brennon’s. Love them as a couple!
Woof to Matt and Colleen. I do not see them lasting.

i found Colleen and Matt interesting (sad/scary) as well. I don't buy the whole "we're not living together because it didn't make sense financially" when they're literally paying double rent for two apartments...yeah, ok. I think there's a lot more going on and some really deep, scary issues. Seeing them on the couch together, H was like "why is he sitting on top of her like that? it's fucking weird". That dude is not ok.

I wonder if she got a bad edit earlier on, because she seems lovely.

by the end of all the episodes and the reunion, i really like Raven (i've always liked SK, he's a gem of a human). I think she probably got a bad edit initially, and she's a more reserved personality. I know my H, while a lovely and very funny and fun loving person, would not come across warm or loving at all. He's very stoic and reserved until you really get to know him.

They filmed these seasons, including the weddings, back to back, so she hadn't seen Deepti's season when she filmed her wedding. Thank you- I was just coming to ask what the hell she meant in her IG post referring to Deepti's wedding. I thought she meant Deepti had met someone new and was just married recently and I was like what does that have to do with anything? So this season 3 was filmed a very long time ago then? I never understand how these things are "kept secret/ not leaked" if someone is walking around married or not married for an entire year before it airs. I also think Zenab's own insecurity about not looking like Colleen is what made her decide to only eat a scoop of peanut butter a day- not because he told her to. Even before the clip of the oranges, I was like her anecdote is not adding up for me and his genuine crying shows how disappointed and frustrated he was that it was being twisted around on him.

I think it was the show’s way of letting us decide for ourselves. I also don’t think there is a bunch of footage showing Cole saying “don’t eat this, eat a salad, etc…” they didn’t use. If anything, I think they would use it for the drama. They showed Shake’s shit.

I think she is very reserved and it came off as bitchy and cold at first, but I had a much different impression of her by the end and she lights up around SK.

I just think neither comes out looking great, but Zanab comes off looking a lot worse. Both have a lot of maturing and growing up to do in different areas. I don't think either are terrible people in real world scenarios though.
