I also didn't really understand Johnnie judging Izzy and whatshername for just having fun and playing in the pods. I know big things are important when deciding a life partner, but for me at least, the absolute most important thing is being able to have fun together. If I were in the pods, I'd try to find the person that I'm laughing and playing games with. Trauma dumping on each other doesn't automatically mean you have some great connection. Yeah, I didn't really see Johnnie having that much of a super great connection with Izzy as much as she tried to claim she did. I did feel for her with her backstory and I felt bad that her baggage seemed to be what turned Izzy off from his relationship with her, but again, as much as she claims to have moved on and learned from past relationships and done the work on herself and to be ready for a better relationship, it all seemed like stuff she was just saying and none of it actually rang true.

Totally. I kinda got the feeling that once Johnie realized there was another person vying for his attention (Stacy), it became a competition to her to land Izzy. Likely, more editing by the the show than reality, but it felt that way to me. As for the sugar butt stuff, it felt like that was a term of endearment Taylor used in previous relationships and wanted to flow it down to this one and it felt forced and premature, maybe? It gave 'fetch' in Mean Girls vibes

Uche is controlling. Giving Aaliyah shit about honesty and then not telling he had a relationship with Lydia was bonkers.
The first couple meeting was so awkward. She isn’t into him physically. I laughed and cringed when she said something about a gap in his teeth but then “looks don’t matter”. Looks literally do matter, but 100% someone’s personality makes them more or less attractive.

i finished all available episodes last night. I'm still underwhelmed by all the couples. Aaliyah was the only one i really liked, but i understand why she didn't continue. Lydia gives off some intense needy vibes. Don't like Uche, he's too full of himself and controlling. Izzy and Stacy are obnoxious. JP and Taylor are boring. Milton seems sweet but too young.
i'm still sad we didn't see more of the fisherman. That's who i feel would've been entertaining. lol

I can't remember her name but I also want to know what the fuck the deal was with the woman who wanted to start her own skin care line. I'm assuming it involves some scandolous bodily fluids since she was so unwilling to go into details about it.

Are there going to be more couples? So far there’s only 3 right? And the preview at the end of the last episode seemed to suggest they’d move onto the vacation next

And the preview at the end of the last episode seemed to suggest they’d move onto the vacation next I think it's going to be like last season where couples who almost matched in the pods but went with other people come back. I'm thinking Johnie/Chris and Aaliyah/Uche will be in Mexico too? New episodes out today so I could always watch and find out but I'm catching up on only murders first.

I didn't even get to the part where JP is an asshole yet I don't think, but he's so awkward. It hurt to watch him and Taylor in the beginning of this episode with the trip.

Uche always speaks down to Aaliyah. It’s maddening.

Izzy talking about going 50/50 at dinner gave me secondhand embarrassment. I’m all for women working and having their own money obviously, but I’m not attracted to men who don’t want to provide. I’m not saying I’ve never paid for anything, but dinner is baseline to me. I’m fully prepared and capable of paying and don’t run up bills thinking it’s not on my dime, but dang. Am I too old fashioned for 2023?

As a step parent I find some of the stuff people get insecure about interesting. I get thinking Izzy should’ve thrown the jewellery away, but the reaction seemed intense to me.

I took it to mean she expected him to pay 100% every.single.time for the rest of their lives. And she already expressed how she likes nice things so I can't imagine that being cheap.

We’re still talking dinner dates and not bills, right? ‘Cause yeah, 98% of the time MH still pays. He’s insulted when I go to grab my wallet. My paying includes just throwing in if he doesn’t have enough cash on his person at the time or something. I cannot envision a reality where he made be split a bill 50/50.

To add, I’m very grateful and very ride or die. When we’re broke I don’t complain. I have no problem paying and don’t see myself as high maintenance. The expectation on Stacey’s end is maybe off putting for Izzy, which i get because it takes time to figure out your dynamic, but specific to dinner there’s no way I’d 50/50 split with my husband. I’d pay for the whole thing before splitting the bill.

The first couple gave me the ick. Maybe it's the super USA! vibe that guy gave off or all of those aggressive closed mouth pecks when they finally met. Yeah she made one vague comment at one time about how they had similar values, and I was wondering if she was referencing to how they might both be staunch republicans or even MAGA freaks (based off of something that was said but not shown), or if she'd be surprised when she finds out how YAY America he is (and I'm judging him just based just off of some of his clothes, so I hope I'm wrong about him, but you know, probably not). Uggg, the freaking American flag swim trunks on a Mexico vacation. 🙄

H and I have shared bank account so it doesn’t matter who pays for us. Maybe I’d feel differently if we kept everything separate. But everything goes into one pot and we each have a separate spending account that an ‘allowance’ (for lack of a better word) but that’s for like lunches and morning coffees, etc. Thats probably why it was just an off conversation to me.

JP and Taylor have to be the most boring couple. He is such a jerk. Lydia we know Milton is 24, it doesn't need to be in every conversation. Stacy, stop making everything a sexual joke. And for the love of God, stop calling him daddy.

I just finished this last group of shows and all I can say is what a bunch of unlikeable people this season. Taylor seemed to bet the only decent one. And maybe Chris but we haven't seen enough of him to know one way or another.
