Even the smallest kindness is important. So Tristan's mother's kindness and Tristan's kindness is not wasted.
I have been defending Mia, but she is exhausting all patience (regarding next weeks preview mentioning Tristan's
friend seeing Mia on a dating app). It does not sound like she is stable enough for marriage.

It does not sound like she is stable enough for marriage. I'm really rooting for Tristan and Mia too, so I'm hoping that what you saw in the next week's previews aren't as bad as they looked. I have found that in general, previews can be VERY misleading and troubling, so I have finally STOPPED WATCHING all previews on all shows. It's working out really well, cause so much of the stuff that is shown in the previews is taken out of context, and misleading, and people have essentially worried about them for nothing. I hope that in this case, with Mia on a dating app, that it turns out to be nothing to get upset about. |

After this last episode I don't have high hopes for any of the couples except for Bobby and Danielle.
Tristan and Mia... I am confused about. She's always touching him, but the trust is just not there for him and I don't blame him one bit. I don't think they have a solid enough foundation to withstand any future obstacles, and they will fall.
Dave and Amber... oof. She's so insecure and he's so bad at relationships. We were watching and I told my husband of almost 20 years that he better NEVER rate me a 7.5 and then tell me about it. WTF Dave? He's been single too long maybe. Seriously. WTF Dave. The preview for next week shows him being insensitive again about how she smells. WTF Dave.
Bobby and Danielle are so cute right now. I hope they make it. Their only problem is how young and naive Bobby is, but I think (I hope) they will be okay.

If Tristan has a brain in his head, he'll get out of that marriage. Even IF Mia "forgot" to delete that profile, Tristan clearly doesn't have any trust in her after the arrest and it seems like he probably won't be able to build trust. It feels like he's in for a lifetime of wondering what she's hiding or lying about and there's always going to be something she's got to explain. Better to be done with it and move on.
Amber is her own worst enemy. What is with the whining about doing things for her husband? Like she HAS to do the laundry. No honey, you said you'd do the laundry and he's your husband. You should WANT to do nice things for him. It's not like he expects her to do everything. He offered to do other household chores. It seems like her appearance isn't the only thing about her that's high maintenance. That snotty comment about how this was why she didn't want to get married was immature and hurtful.
Bobby's not my cup of tea, but Danielle seems happy with him. Like you said, burnt, they may be the only couple who makes it.

It seems like her appearance isn't the only thing about her that's high maintenance. That snotty comment about how this was why she didn't want to get married was immature and hurtful. Exactly! I do not assign numbers to people I love. That is not kind or conducive to a relationship. I think you can assign numbers to your love tank, because feeling unloved is what drives people to see psychologists. People have their natural chore schedule in their heads. Amber does need to do some chores if she is with someone; and she does need to consider a partner. Maybe she really wants to be her best girl friend and ride all over her partner. "This is why I never wanted to be married." Actions follow words. The app thing could be an innocent mistake. Nerves are so exposed in romantic relationships. Tristan has really put it out there, stretched himself. A lot of men would have just closed themselves off. I am impressed. PREVIEW: He could have said something about the perfume before they are out on a romantic date. It looks like pay back for her comments about not wanting to be married. |

IMO, Mia was hedging her bets. I think she did delete the app off of her phone but kept her profile active just in case the marriage didn't work out in the eight weeks. My daughter says she might have thought she deactivated her account, but I trust her even less than Tristan does  Dave should have been smart enough to say an 8 at least, but he wasn't. He knew how she reacted to his celebrity crush, so should have been a little clue that telling her he said 7.5 might send her over the edge again. It's not that saying things weren't perfect and there's room for growth was wrong, but she's obviously fragile. I really don't get why he wasn't supposed to expect her to do laundry when that's what she said she'd do. That's a little nuts that she took it wrong. Of course he expected her to do laundry because he expected her to do what she said she'd do. What was with her stupid excuse that he only had to do his own laundry, not hers? Was that somehow supposed to make it better? Unfortunately I think he may be better off away from her. He has some quirks himself, but those seem like things you could adjust to. While I think that Danielle and Bobby are not quite living in the real world yet I hope that when they realize the other person is not perfect that they still work it out. I did think it was cute that he thought it was funny that she didn't understand his joke about pork being medium rare. It didn't seem mean-spirited, just that he appreciated the irony of him trying to tease her and it not working. How sweet was he making food for her in the morning. I wonder if that's because she has such a long commute and he's trying to make that less strenuous for her. His dad was hilarious last week saying nobody was worth a long commute! |

I searched around and couldn't find anything about Dr. Jessica being married. If you look in the comments on that post, someone posted that they looked good together and Jon thanked them. Hmmmmmm, indeed.
I don't know if that's any sort of "violation" of the rules (violation seems like a harsh term). If they got together after the show filmed, I don't see a problem. If they are dating, that says a lot about Molly, doesn't it? If a psychologist on the show will date him, clearly the problems weren't with him. They could also just be friends, which I guess says the same thing about Molly.

I can't figure out how old she is Either, She has a lot of schooling which makes her most likely older than him. It is not always an issue.

Yeah, I saw the stuff about her kids, but like you, found nothing about a husband.
Hey, if they're both single, who cares? Age isn't an issue for a lot of people and really shouldn't be. They're both intelligent, attractive and (presumably) single, so if they like each other, good for them!

Mia's sister is the worst. The WORST. She is so confrontational and abrasive and downright rude. Tristan should've stood up and walked away from that lunch. I understand he was trying not to cause waves with her family, and was hoping that Mia would take control and rein in her sister. But when it was obvious she wasn't going to (and Mia was the one who started it!) I was hoping he would just leave. There's nothing to gain from sitting and taking that kind of abuse from someone you don't even know. Ugh. The worst. Mia has a lot of growing to do. Tristan is really getting a great edit this season OR he's really a great guy. Dave and Amber are an interesting couple for me. At first I thought that Dave was a super nice guy; so sensible and likable, and that Amber was so plastic. But now? Now I'm amazed at how much Dave is changing before my eyes. He passive-aggressively puts Amber down all the time. I don't think her self-esteem is the issue. I think he's just a jerk. Sure she's high-maintenance but what you see is what you get with Amber. She is not hiding that she likes to dress up and put on make up and color her hair and would rather shop than do laundry. She is transparent. Dave gets a dig in about her appearance every episode. I'm no professional therapist, but the way he treats her raises red flags for me. I feel like crap and I'm not even in a relationship with him. Bobby and Danielle are so schmoopy.  I'm glad they're not trashing each other just to fit in with the other couples. I hope that in a couple of years will be seeing links to People magazine because they're pregnant. We don't get to see a lot of them but I think that's a good thing. No drama for TV! I love, love, love the preview for next week where Bobby and Danielle are watching their wedding video at a drive in. I WANT THAT!! |

I don't know if I think Dave is trying to tear Amber down. I think he's just not a very good communicator. He clearly told the camera that he thought Amber would look great with ANY color of hair. The hair color comment just struck me as a way that men try to solve a problem (vs. just listening to women talk about their problems). I'm sure he thought "just stop coloring your hair" was a simple solution to the problem. Because Amber is SO insecure, she took that as "You'd be more attractive to me as a brunette." He should have told her that because he thinks she'd be beautiful with any hair color, if she wanted to stop bleaching her hair, he'd be totally fine with it (not that she needs his permission, but she clearly needs a lot of reassurance) because it wouldn't affect his attraction to her. Frankly, I think she would look better as a brunette or at least with a color that wasn't that awful stark blonde. Her hair does look really unhealthy.
I also thought that comment about her perfume wasn't meant the way she took it. He said she smelled great. I thought "overpowering" meant that it was turning him on, not that she was wearing too much 
I do think that Amber's insecurity could be the thing that sinks their marriage. I can't imagine being with someone that I constantly needed to reassure at every turn. Walking on eggshells in a relationship is NO fun. MY bff from high school was very insecure and she was always finding an unintended insult. Her most used phrase was, "What the hell is THAT supposed to mean!?" It was exhausting.
Mia's sister is a bitch. I think Tristan was trying to NOT cause a bigger problem, but I think I probably would have excused myself from the table. Mia's clueless. Did she not understand that them possibly planning to move to another city would cause some issues with her family? Plus, he's her husband now. Sitting there and letting her family dig into him was NOT cool.
I think Bobby's kind of a tool, but Danielle seems to be happy with him. More power to them.

I agree about Dave and Amber. I'm a girl and I don't understand why she doesn't stop coloring her hair if it's falling out. She might think she looks better as a blond but that color she has isn't that great on her. If she wishes to be a blond why doesn't she go less drastic, more honey blond or something less damaging to her hair? And why is she so worried that he likes brunettes if she's naturally a brunette? I'd be exhausted dealing with her. They mentioned last week (Dr. Jessica?) that they had seen social media pictures where she had her hair darker, closer to what he said his type was so that's one reason they thought he'd like her. If she had those pictures out there it seems a bit disingenuous for her to act like she's always worn it this bleached blond way. Mia and her family are too much to deal with. Tristan should have gotten out that day at the airport and just been done with her. I'm not sure how I feel about Danielle and Bobby, but I hope they work out. |

Aside from Bobby saying "I hate cats" on that Jamie Otis show - and that's enough for me to dislike him, TBH - I just get a weird feeling about him. Like he's the guy who'd be telling crass jokes about Muslims or immigrants when he gets together with his buddies. Danielle seems happy with him, so good for both of them, but I don't see the appeal.
Since we're talking about how the girls style themselves....I wish someone would tell Danielle to ease up on the eyebrow pencil! What is with that? It's SO not flattering. Just a natural brow color, that's closer to her hair color would be much better. Plus, they should not be that close in the center. What happened to using makeup and other cosmetics to bring out/enhance natural beauty? None of these girls are unattractive, so I don't get the super artificial hair color and makeup.
If my hair color was causing my hair to break off, I'd sure as hell be doing something different! I had a friend in hs who bleached her naturally red hair and it literally did break off at the ends. Instead of a blunt cut, it was all ragged and it looked like straw. Why she thought that was better than her natural hair color, I don't know.
I think Tristan is a really nice guy and maybe doesn't want to believe the worst about Mia. Maybe he's not a good judge of character. Some people really don't have an intuition about others. I don't give them much of a chance at staying together.
At this point, I think Danielle and Bobby will likely decide to stay married in the end and maybe Dave and Amber will, but then will divorce at the later date. I really hope Tristan wakes up and ends that marriage on decision day. He deserves so much better. I can't imagine being married into that family. They all seem like miserable people.

I believe it was a post of her having alone time because the kids were with her ex. I have 3 kids, Divorced and my boyfriend Is 5 years younger and has no kids. As long as a person is happy and in a healthy relationship nothing else really matters. |

I can only see Bobby and Danielle staying together. Mia and Tristan are mental and while in my opinion they deserve each other I doubt it will last. Dave in my opinion is mentally and verbally abusive in my opinion and while Amber is very Insecure he feeds into it. There is a difference between honesty and being cruel and I think he's cruel.

I agree with you! I didn't hear anything that Dave said as mean. She told him she was losing hair, so he asked questions and commented that her pics on Facebook looked nice with brown hair, but he did not tell her he wanted her to be a brunette - - I think he was being careful not to. She got so defensive (again). And the comment about the perfume might have bothered her, but if she WAS wearing too much, can't he say something? I remember my mom telling me something about my perfume once. When you're with someone, can't you be honest and say something? I think everyone in a relationship has expressed some preference, whether it's liking their clothes/hair/perfume, whatever. Tristan didn't like the longhorn on Mia's wall, and she didn't get bent out of shape about it. I think Dave tried to be nice in his own way, saying it was close to being overpowering, or something like that. And they were outside! It must have been pretty strong. She's just too much, being difficult to get along with, so I don't hold out much hope for them. Dave's not my kind of guy, but at least he's trying a bit more than she is. We didn't hear about HIS fantasy, or see her try to make him happy - I wonder why that is. Maybe next episode? Mia is nuts. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth, and doesn't seem very intelligent either. On one hand she says he is "home" for her now so wherever he is, that's where she wants to be, but then she expresses doubts about moving to Houston. Her lies about the "mistaken of identity" were ridiculous too, and I can't believe Tristan OR the show is sticking with this girl. So the charges came up after their extensive background checks, well NOW they know. And nothing happened. People on other sites keep dragging Tristan for a comment he made before being matched, that he wouldn't want to be with a girl with darker skin than his. So he's got his issues too, but gosh Mia is a mess and so is her family. I want him to dump her and run for the hills! Eyebrow girl and her young man (who looks really young) are fine, I guess. But the fact that he hates cats makes me dislike him - hates?! That's uncalled for! LOL! At least Dave is putting up with the toilet-paper shredding cat! I wonder what the previous couples on this show think of the $5000/month the show is giving these people this season? I haven't watched Jamie's show to see if she's mentioned it, but it's nice since they usually still have to pay for their rent/mortgage when they move in with someone else. It was interesting to see how each couple planned on using that money. |

I just started watching this show last season and the only thing I knew of Jamie was her stint on The Bachelor. Gee, she has had some difficulties getting pregnant and with miscarriages. Sorry to hear this sad news. Henley is adorable and hopefully one day will be a big sister. |

I think Dave and Amber are interesting characters. Kudos to Amber for focusing on good things.
I am glad Mia and Tristan had peace this episode.

I have been very forgiving of Amber's personality lately, but this show the gloves are off for me!! Dave is okay telling her that she's a 7.5 and her use of perfume is overwhelming, but he can't tell her to wash her salmonella hands after touching raw chicken??? Seriously Amber? How can you survive in this world not knowing that you wash your hands after handling raw meat? I like how Dave is like, yeah, I'll wash the dishes after dinner... and wipe every surface down and probably throw away that salt shaker and enormous tub of butter that you touched with your bacteria fingers. Gross. I actually don't think I would've been able to eat anything after that.
Tristan and Mia seem like they are just smiling for the camera for me. They have no substance. They're telling each other "I love you" but why? We don't see any depth in their relationship. I will be incredibly surprised if they stay together.
Bobby and Danielle. Still schmoopy. I am super impressed at how thoughtful their anniversary gifts were to each other. It's like they're really paying attention when the other person talks (which is not very common in my experience - on TV and in life). I know it's not always going to be this easy for them, so it's going to be interesting to see how they handle problems.
I still want a drive-in date like that.

I was thinking as I was watching that I didn't believe Tristan and Mia as they said I love you but I did believe Bobby and Danielle as they were talking about each other. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person feeling that way. That drive-in movie date was so sweet. I wasn't quite paying attention when Bobby was talking about it so it was a surprise to me that the "movie" was of their wedding I thought they were going to the drive-in which I thought was sweet anyhow. Bobby was so cute/hilarious on Unfiltered talking about the dishwasher needing to be filled before running it and when Jamie asked him what happened if he didn't fill it all the way he said he doesn't know because he always makes sure it's full. Something about the way he said that in particular made me think they're still together. I've been thinking they were anyhow, but that statement reinforced it. |
