I’m on E11 and I feel like Chelsea is trying so hard to make her and Kwame fit and they just don’t. I love Chelsea but she’s almost aggressively positive and it’s great to certain point. She keeps focusing on what the built in the pods and not on if it’s actually working for both of them in the real world. |

I’m still so angry for Marshall. He was going on about how he loved her and then Brett has to interrupt and tell him she didn’t show.
Also Brett is seriously the best. How he politely and quietly liked him aside to tell him was awesome.
I remember the first episode they did a close up of him and I went ‘aw, I like him. Hope he finds someone’ and I’m ecstatic about how well and Tiff fit.
I’m in too deep with this show.

I’ve tried to see the controlling flags people mentioned about Marshall and I just don’t see it. I really like him and feel so sad at what happened to him

It was little things here and there. Making her continue to talk about stuff when she didn’t want to/was tired, saying things that insinuated violent tendencies. I definitely could have been misreading. 🤷♀️ My sister thought the same thing as I did. |

Chelsea is insufferable. She’s so over the top, and she always sounds like she is giving a dramatic speech.

Bartise’s baby looks 4-5 months old. I feel like he would have announced sooner if he was expecting it.

Him pushing to talk is not great but I remember her saying ‘I’m gonna push you away, don’t let me’ and telling him she wanted him to be more aggressive, he’s too sensitive for her, he’s not manly enough, etc etc was worse than what he did. I think he was trying to give her what she was saying she wanted. I see more red flags with her than him. |

Jackie posted on IG that the coffee shop meet up with Josh was after her and Marshall broke up. She "didn't know why" they edited it that way. Oh and LIB bought all the rings, not the guys. Lol.

I kind of figured that. She was in a totally different outfit and her hair was different when she was talking to Marshall. |

I wanted to shake Chelsea when she and Kwame were shopping and he was trying to talk to her about how she has her space and her peace and he doesn't have anything like that yet, and instead of hearing him and being like, ok let's go FIND something/some place for you to have YOUR space and your peace here, she was like, so you now you need to reassure me that you aren't going to say no and being more needy. They are the couple that kills me the most because I feel like they really did have a good connection and had a chance, but instead of making good choices about working through actual issues that are arising about practicalities of the real world, Chelsea at least is sweeping them under the rug and is like, but you are perfect for me so somehow it's all going to work out, and putting all the pressure on Kwame to MAKE it work out, and that is so obviously making it too much for him and he's miserable.
Also, I really really hate Bliss's dress.

I really like him and feel so sad at what happened to him I think he’s been hurt a lot in the past, done a lot of self work and knows his worth. He’s secure with himself and what he has to offer. Him not needing to convince anyone of that maybe is read differently? ETA: I see what people are referencing but I don’t get red flags from him. |

Jackie telling Marsh to ‘take it easy’ sent me to another dimension. What a colossal fucking bitch move.

Kwame looks like resentment is simmering under the surface already. I think they should split.
Too bad these couples don’t get actual helpful therapy as part of this process, lol

I binged the episodes and here are my thoughts:
Pre-wedding Day thoughts:
Bliss's mom is so amazing and I'm glad Zach laid it all out on the table. Bliss's dad has a point but his delivery was horrible. His comment about Bliss's older sister rubbed me the wrong way and felt like he was looking down on them for their choice (moving to Arizona, getting married, him firing the guy...). It was very ick.
I am more certain Kwame is going to say no. Chelsea made me cringe a lot. First when Kwame brings it up about her passive aggressive behavior "do I sound ok?", andhow he has no ecapes to reset. She was very defensive. Then feeding strawberries felt very off between them. I feel so sad for Kwame with his mom. That would be hard.
Jackie hit a new low meeting Josh behind Marshall's back, telling Josh what she should have told Marshall awhile ago (e.g. she doesn't want to be with him), keeping the ring, and I have a feeling she would have dragged Marshall along if she hadn't been called out by him for missing the dress appointment.
I'm not really invested in Micah and Paul. I don't think Micah is going to say yes.
Brett and Tiffany are so cute. I hope they make it.
Wedding Day Thoughts:
That venue is so beautiful. I miss living in WA/OR area!
Kwame and Chelsea: I loved seeing Kwame's siblings. I think it gave him confidence and reassurance that he really needed. Chelsea looks so beautiful in her dress and I love her bouquet! Kwame's sister is so sweet. This episode/section made me think Kwame would say yes.

While I am so annoyed by Chelsea for shutting Kwame down when he was trying to express his feelings about not having anything for himself in Seattle, I’m way more annoyed at him because part of the entire premise of this show is that it’s set in a certain city and then they all live together in that city after they get engaged, kind of like Married at First Sight. It’s not like the Bachelor/Bachelorette where people are from all over the country. So what did he expect?
It also opens up a lot of feelings I have about women often being expected to be the ones to bear the burden of being the “trailing spouse” in a partnership and be the ones to move in, give up their jobs to follow their husband’s careers, raise the children, etc.

That’s not the show you are on this annoyed me too with both of them, especially when their potential spouses have in person location based jobs while both Kwame and Micah are fully remote and chose to go on a Seattle based show. |

Yea I didn't get that either. I thought Micah said she splits her time between both cities though? |

Jackie is such a mess. I don't know why she even wanted to be on this show, she told Josh that "legal marriage scares me." Had she ever seen the show before!? Reddit says that Marshall has a serious girlfriend now and she's gorgeous and is a Nurse Practitioner getting her DNP, so good for him!
I liked Chelsea in the beginning but she has really gotten on my nerves. Girlfriend has cast herself in her own romcom and NOTHING is going to derail it. She can't even let that man have a say in not wanting to eat a strawberry. I cringed all the way through the underwear photo shoot too. I agree that he maybe shouldn't have gone on the show knowing that he didn't want to move, but she has made zero concessions for him on her side. I think she is being deliberately obtuse about not seeing all the signs that he is just not into her because she is desperate to get married.
Micah and Irina just went on the show for fame reasons.
I agree with everyone on Brett and Tiffany. They're delightful together.
