Taylor should have shown up to that meeting with a face full of makeup.

I don’t really understand why Izzy is so mad at Johnie. I think he misinterpreted what she said or something got lost in translation, but I felt a little bad for her in that convo.

I'm still shocked at Milton's height, especially next to Lydia. I feel like that wasn't noticeable in the pods since they sit so much.

I’m caught up. Milton has more personality outside the pods and I like him more. He is probably going to get hurt. Lydia is OTT
I respect Taylor for not putting up with that shit and not stringing it along until the wedding BS. So many red flags with that JP guy.
Izzy seemed like he was reaching for a big gotcha moment on screen when he told off Johnny but it didn’t really land. I agree that it wasn’t anything.
I find it interesting and actually refreshing that Johnny and the other guy are just dating, and didn’t jump back into the show like last season.
Uche seems really manipulative and is giving me major red flags too. He’s so complimentary of Lydia but also thinks she stalked him?

Also re: Uche’s friends being uncomfortable with people they don’t know watching their IG stories, change your settings to private and that won’t happen.

I read that 4 other couples got engaged that they didn't show. And now they are down to 2 so I bet they are regretting their choices.
Uche is awful. Like, truly awful. So is Lydia. They deserve each other and I am shocked it didn't work out.

Didn’t johnie throw something around about Izzy being in debt? That’s not going to surface well.

And not Uche making Lydia out to be the crazy ex so that his story of him cheating on her didn’t come out. After how much he belittled Aliyah for cheating.

They picked the worst people to highlight if 4 other couples got engaged. It seems like there are less episodes this time too, but maybe it's all so unlikable I'm just tuning most of it out

I think the producers have missed the mark. They think people only want the drama, but we also want the success stories. Leaving only the drama and no one to cheer for makes the audience start to tune out IMO.

I find Milton and Lydia super annoying together. They are just constantly picking on each other and making comments about the age difference. I find their relationship more of a brother and sister type.
Lydia put up red flags when she wouldn't stop giving Aliyah details about Uche when she asked her to stop. "Did he tell you he has a tesla?!" "His house is dope." "You're going to love his dog!" I don't know man, I buy that she's obsessed with him. I also agree that she would have married a paper bag if it asked.
I really liked Taylor. It's too bad she didn't end up with someone she could have stuck around with.
I don't understand the choices the producers made if 4 other couples got engaged and this is what they ended up with. I can't root for any of these people.

Maybe I'm a sap who is willing to root for anybody, because when they were in Mexico, I actually didn't mind Lydia and Milton OR Izzy and Stacy, I thought they were both cute and happy and enjoying each other and doing well in that 'getting to know you' phase and seeming to mesh well with each other. Lydia does seem like a LOT, but Milton seems laid back enough to be able to deal with her. I agree that her behavior with Aliyah in the pods was off base when Aliyah was telling her she didn't want to hear about Uche and Lydia didn't seem able to stop herself from sharing, but it didn't SEEM to be from ill-intent to me, more just like she was getting caught up in the moment, lack of self-awareness, and immaturity. I would buy that Lydia crossed some lines when she was with Uche, but nothing scandalous that would affect her now relationship with Milton or should have affected Uche's relationship with Aliyah if they had really been well-suited. But I think Uche wanted to paint Lydia to be a psycho who was still obsessed with him and trying to get him in order for him to try to stay relevant and get screen time, and I think she has moved on and is genuinely trying with Milton.
I think Aliyah dodged a bullet with Uche and Taylor REALLY dodged a bullet with JP. I can ALMOST understand his point that he might prefer a woman who looks natural and not wear a ton of makeup, but to let 1st impression make him shut down for DAYS and not express that as the reason why is just insane. Taylor is gorgeous either way and deserves way better.

Uche has come out and spoken out against the editing of the show. He says the conversation they had didn’t go the way it was portrayed and they are actually dating now. Not sure what I believe…prob somewhere in the middle.

Not sure what I believe…prob somewhere in the middle. Seeing it again, it’s clearly a sound bite telling Aaliyah they were done. There’s other footage of them holding hands in that scene that was in the trailer but edited out of final cut that potentially backs that up too.

I believe that Uche sexted/cheated on Lydia and that’s part of why she became extra OTT with him.

I also think he said they dated right after they left the pods, but when someone asked how their relationship was now he replied something like 'we are friends' or something that made it sound like they aren't actually dating now. I am not sure what the deal is.

This season is just such a let down. Last season was so great with Zach & Bliss, Tiffany & Brett, Kwame & his blonde wife. These people suck!

Ooh so more tea on TT, if true. The fisher dude and the vet were one of the other engaged couples, and actually went to Mexico. Apparently they had a wedding and she said no, and is now married to someone else. Something happened that forced Netflix to remove them from the Mexico scenes, and not show their wedding, hence why the Mexico scenes were so much shorter than in previous seasons.

I know I said the sugarbutt nickname thing didn't bother me but I am glad we didn't have to hear that for 8 more episodes.

I know it's editing and they can do whatever, but it still always amazes me when they can cut out other people completely. I was wondering why there were other people that seemed to be there longer when others were weeded out early but they just disappeared. Renee was the vet and I liked her. Wonder what happened.

I read one comment that someone said Carter (I think that is the fisherman's name?) threatened something if they didn't remove everything from Mexico/after/wedding. That seems a little crazy to. me because Netflix is so big but who knows! It did feel like the Mexico scenes were way shorter than in previous seasons.

So in their contracts I believe they can’t give spoilers for future episodes so he may have had to say something like that before theirs aired but now he is skirting technicalities on the contract. I think lol

He was with the group on the rooftop right? I was wondering why he seemed so close to the group when we never really saw him but that would explain it.

I'm already watching and Renee is at the dress fitting and wearing a white outfit. She doesn't seem to have any family/friends with her that I can tell though but it's odd she's there. Them being another engaged couple is really the only thing that makes sense now.

Stacey has juvenile expectations for marriage and is really insecure. I like that she backed Lydia to Uche but didn’t like how she treated Johnie. I’m not sure why they’re so hung up on Johnie.
Izzy mom made me a little emotional. Her love for him is palpable but she doesn’t seem toxic.
Izzy needs to work on his emotions.

I liked how Milton responded to Uche and how he had Lydia’s back in the moment. However, he is treating marriage like a nonchalant project and it weirds me out.
Lydia is emotional, defensive and intense but I don’t see her as a malicious person.

I think he's twisting it a bit too. Idk, it's weird, it's like he can't handle that she moved on to someone else even though he didn't choose her. I genuinely hope she and Chris are happy. All the woman backed Lydia with Uche, it was pretty great. Stacy seemed like she was trying to avoid all the Johnie stuff and just move forward at first but I think Izzy being so fixated on it got her in the end. She does come off really immature.

Lydia is emotional, defensive and intense but I don’t see her as a malicious person. I mean, he's definitely his mothers son. He was so emotionless with his family but he's definitely a different person with Lydia and his friends.
