Watching this and knowing what the end results are, and seeing some of those horrible fights in the previews, makes me sad. Hearing them tonight, talk so positively, saying things like "this is the guy for me" and being impressed with the nice things they're doing for each other, makes me feel so discouraged for them.
The best behavior doesn't take very long to fade away, unfortunately, and it really makes me wonder if they consciously put on a different persona, or if they don't realize how they really are.
Michael had his headphones on for much of the trip and even in the hotel when they met with the other couples! And the others picked up on the tension. I felt bad for Meka. Wow, it went bad quite fast!

Did anyone watch the couples couch last night? It was with the past couples , almost like Pillow Talk on 90 day Fiancé.
It was pretty funny all the couple had something to say about Austin’s hair and Kate’s crop top wedding dress.
It was 2 hours though they need to cut it down to an hour, didn’t need to watch the whole show over.

It was 2 hours though they need to cut it down to an hour, didn’t need to watch the whole show over. I watched it. It's better than last season, so at least they are improving Couples Couch, but they can still get even better. At least they're showing more of what the couples are saying. They could shorten it. The one I watched last night was about Wednesday's episode. It was interesting hearing them discussing Michael's off camera remarks to Meka. At first they were giving him the benefit of the doubt but acknowledging that it would not be a nice thing to say. Then, after he didn't really deny it, they moved from the benefit of the doubt to pretty sure he had said it. Anthony and Ashley are usually my favorites but last night Shawniece & Jephte were. They were cracking me up. I like their perspective since they have been through the process. They're often thinking what I am, but with a more in-depth aspect.

Those pics are WAY too good. It looks to me like someone called the paps to get those pics. They look straight out of the pages of Us Magazine. All that's missing is one of them holding a hair care product (spoilering your link because it has their names in it )
After so many seasons, I've become a total cynic about this show. I don't think the experts are in control of the choices. I think the producers are. At least they're the ones who decide which singles the experts pick from. It seems to have become much more about drama than about genuinely finding these people partners. That is even more scummy than what happens on regular dating shows because now these people find themselves actually married.

I feel so bad for Meka and Mindy, because their husbands seem so cold, and harsh at times! Zach is a strange guy: he didn't answer any of her questions and just rambled, not making any sense at all. Michael not wearing his ring was pretty crappy, and his excuse was dumb. Brandon acted like such a baby too, giving Taylor the silent treatment when he was upset, and then not talking to her much all day. At least he apologized later and tried to make it better. I'm still not sure about him. Derek was sweet to do the rose petals and candles for her birthday, and I had to laugh when some of the petals were stuck on the back of his robe as he turned around! What bugs me a lot about this show is when they cut parts of the conversations out, and it becomes obvious that they're editing so much. There are times when we get to see the majority of what is being said, and their reactions, and then there are conversations that are so cut up and disjointed that it's hard to follow.

Did anyone else roll their eyes HARD when Michael was yammering on about why he'd taken his wedding ring off? God, what a tool. Poor Meka.
I still think Austin and Jessica have the best chance of success, followed by Derek and Katie. The others? Nope :down

I'm throwing Zach and Mindy into the mix of possible successes, along with Austin and Jessica, and Derek and Katie.

Oh yeah, Michael's stupid excuses for taking off his wedding band were ridiculous.

I'm worried about the preview where Katie yells "F*** you" to Derek, though.

I finally binged and caught up on the episodes yesterday.
Jessica and Austin are cuteish. They haven't revealed themselves to each other enough. Katie seemed to forget all about her booty call/non boyfriend real quick. Wonder when this will come up. I feel like she is riding a high right now but once things settle... Brandon's smooth talk was a red flag for me so his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde act was not one bit shocking. I 100% judged Zach negatively bc he was too pretty and he hasn't proven me wrong yet. Meka and Michael were the least interesting so I didn't pay close attention to them the first few episodes. So for things to go left less than 24 hours after the wedding on the plane ride to the Honeymoon sucks for them and me as a viewer.

What the heck was that word salad Zach was spouting? Total gibberish. He's very aware of the camera and trying to play nice but he makes 0 sense. Brandon is another weirdo and I am not buying that a video of him taken by Taylor set off a panic attack. I mean he is on a reality TV show where cameras are omnipresent for goodness sake! He was straight up rude to her with his silent treatment of her all day long. For goodness sake, just talk to your wife if you're upset!
Michael., Michael, Michael... something is definitely off with you. If I am not mistaken, did he not flip the whole conversation with Pastor Cal? He seemed to be blaming the whole disagreement on Meka. Also, he should not have taken off his wedding ring. At this point I only see Jessica and Austin as remaining married. Katie and Derek a yes at the 8 week mark but questionable for the long run.

@ Eastcoastmom Zach didn't make any sense at all, did he? Just as I was wondering WTH I'd just heard, Mindy would indicate she felt the same way. Brandon is giving me weird vibes too. Is it his salesman persona? Something is off and not believable with him. His crackpot reason for being upset seemed less than truthful, but his rudeness seemed even more crazy. She brought him the kind of beer he likes and her insisted he didn't want it, but went downstairs to get one for himself. Super strange, right?

She brought him the kind of beer he likes and her insisted he didn't want it, but went downstairs to get one for himself. Super strange, right? Yep. I'm trying to figure him out, too. Brandon has been raised by women and these women seem to think the sun rises and shines with him. I think he's been spoiled, for one thing. Another thing I think is that he's intimidated by Taylor. He's a good-looking guy but I think he thinks she is out of his league, maybe intellect-wise. Yes, he's a salesman but I think at the heart of it Brandon is actually on the shy side. One needs to be outgoing to be a salesman but I think it's a sense of false bravado on his part. I'm also a shy person but have had to work extra hard putting myself out there over the years so I don't just fade into the woodwork. I think Brandon is not that self-confident and a bit of a dweeb and his attempt at humor or being cool by grabbing the top tier of the wedding cake with his bare hand (gross) fell flat. I don't think it was malicious but rather he was uncomfortable and tried to be funny. I don't think he had a panic attack. I get panic attacks and nothing I saw made me believe he had had one. I saw somebody annoyed he was being videotaped by his wife who decided to sulk and throw a hissy fit and not talk to her all day. Even his apology was lame, imo. His telling her to 'get over it' was rude and I was glad Taylor told him not to talk to her that way.

Who is on Couple's Couch tonight?

Who is on Couple's Couch tonight? Doug and Jamie, who were spot-on in my opinion. Bobby and Danielle did a good job too. Then there were Beth and Jamie, who were horrible for the most part. Keith just pretty much sat there while Kristine did all the talking and reacting, and I agreed with her take most of the time. It would have been a fun show except for Beth, who annoys me. Those two had a terrible start to their marriage, so for them to pass judgment is laughable.

Did anyone else think like I did, that Brandon got the rose petals idea from Derek? He heard the women all gushing over Derek doing that, and heard Derek and Katie consummated their marriage after that, and decided it was a good tactic. I'm so cynical. I think Jessica and Austin are too adorable. I like that they both said they were crushing one the other.

He looks like a completely different person. If I didn’t know who that was, I literally would not recognize him.

This article has many more pics of Jason's wedding:
Seriously, I would not recognize him AT ALL. He may have gained weight, but from the full body pics, it doesn't look like he's gained THAT much. It's weird.
Re: Zach's incoherent "deep thoughts": this is probably what he's always done with the women he's dated in the past and they probably bought it because they thought he was just really deep, when he's really just full of s***. The fact that he thinks Mindy wants to talk a lot about the relationship tells me that he's had pretty surface relationships up until now. I feel sad for her. She deserves better.

Different hair cut and looks like he put on 20-30 lbs and now has a thicker neck and fuller face.

Missed the new episode tonight because of MORE Bachelor than we'd ever need, but I'm tuning into it with Couple's Couch. All I have to say is I love Jephte! I can barely hear what he and Shawniece are saying, but I just adore him.

He put Shawniece through hell and even cheated on her during her pregnancy. No idea why she didn't kick him to the curb. To be fair they both put a halt to their marriage. And went into counseling and it worked because they are much happier now. He didn't cheat on her during her pregnancy as they weren't together and she will tell you that. She let him go about his business and he came crawling back which why they agreed to do Happily Ever After. I love them on couples couch probably one of my favorites to watch next to Anthony and Ashley.
