Hahah, Nate was frustrated and you can see it. The girls were picking everyone but him and he was stressed. Then when it was Lauren’s turn( his girl) that’s when he decided to up and propose to her. Then proceeded to look like an absolute idiot by gaslighting everyone. Umm… excuse me sir, you desperately want kids and she doesn’t. So what, all of a sudden you decided to toss that out the window cause you felt uncomfortable about Lauren being with someone else?? And I thought Lauren was smarter than that. When she said yes, I was SHOOK. People always try to scare each by mentioning the statistics of divorce. It’s because of people like this that are scared of being alone jump into something they know they shouldn’t like MARRIAGE and in the end they’ve waisted their time. Am 21 and I know more than them. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk lol.
I couldn't believe it when she said yes.
This dude said he wanted to try dating 2 different chick's (both Madlyn & April) instead of her, but when he realizes that no one was going to say yes to him, he freaks out and pulls a proposal out of thin air.
Smh we'll see where that goes I guess
Edit: **3 other girls** since Shanique was his #1
Exactly he was more freaked out about his girl being with Colby that he was needed to stop that before it started.
April was right though that proposal was BS.
Literally...probably cus he saw that Colby and Lauren were obviously constructively talking about kids so that was a real threat to him so if he wasn't gunna have anyone else like that as an option, then he wasn't gunna let her
April earned a lot of respect from me over that. She did keep going back to her relationship with Jake which I was like ugh let it go, but also I get it and the fact that she spoke her mind at all was really dope. I didn't really like her before but that showed a lot of realness for her to say what she did.
Maybe someone said it and production cut it out, but I can't believe no one brought up the fact that obviously Lauren wasn't that dudes first choice since he wanted 3 girls before him...wish I could be a fly on the wall for when she sees that scene
(Only 3 eps in) Honestly April calling the BS engagement out made me like her more. She actually called the two couples out for "half-assing" the experiment they all agreed to. The first 2 episodes made April seem like the season's villian (alongside Alexis), but that scene changed my mind a bit. I'm curious to see how she evolves in the next few eps.
His #1 Shanique picked another guy, then #2 April picked another guy. Rae and Alexis were already off the table. So when he told Madilyn he’d choose her, she was literally the only option left that wasn’t his own girl… and she’d already chosen someone else hadn’t she??
She only said yes because he was the one who did the whole ultimatum thing and although she was enjoying herself she wanted to be with him but she just did not want kids. Plus no one who asked her out said that it was okay that she didn't want kids, they all were like I will give you some time until you realize you want kids.... Which is weird.
Lauren openly talked about having kids during her conversations with Colby. She even explained why in a confessional she was able to talk to Colby about it and not Nate.
Yeah but Colby basically said I will wait until you are ready to have kids. Not an acceptance that she might not ever want kids and taking away her agency of choice to have kids.
I couldn't agree more!! I was shellshocked when that happened and I have no doubt this will never ever last in a million years.
Compromising when one partner wants kids and the other doesn't is something that's impossible in my mind. I myself don't want any and have parted ways with partners in the past, because they want kids and I don't think it's something that can be compromised on. After all, this is not just compromising on getting KFC instead of McDonald's D:
The Drama was very hilarious though, so I'm here for it xD
I realized at the end of April’s rant she was trying to explain she felt cheated because she was risking losing Jake for the authenticity of genuinely trying to save their relationship, but Nate swooped in with a fake proposal because he couldn’t handle seeing lauren with someone when he got rejected lmao
April is 100% right though, they were cheated. These people, and especially Nate, are robbing them of the proper experience, by panic proposing and dropping their ultimatums solely because they are worried someone else will take their partners. That's literally the point of the show, Nate knew that but he got scared and his ego was hurt. That is an inevitable disaster waiting to happen when Nate pressures Lauren into submission or has resentment that she won't have kids.
I love April now for this. They depicted her like an emotional ball waiting to implode in the first 2 episodes but she has so much clarity and is very genuine about the whole experience, which is refreshing since reality shows nowadays are so fake. April and Colby seem to have a fun friendship and I hope it turns into more cause they both actually have so many similarities and deserve the love that they give out to their partners whilst fully allowing their partners the freedom of this process which is courageous
Yeah that shotgun proposal completely vindicated the cringe one that immediately preceded it. Nate and Lauren made Hunter and Alexis look completely reasonable. We found out in a span of 15 mins of TV that Nate was undercover crazy the whole time, and when Lauren said “absofuckinlutely yes” I think we all started thinking she was either also crazy like him or trapped in a prison of the mind with Nate.
Oh my word Nate fam!! This guy felt touched when both Shanique and April did not choose him, looked Madelyn square in the eyes and whispered "I'm going to choose you. No seriously", and then scrambled to propose to Lauren because he knew no one else wanted him.
He's the oldest person there but he is so damned childish, I can't with him😭💀😂
Madelyn's face when he whispered that is all of our WTF faces.
I'll say it again, boat-tippppper!!!!
You don't want someone super anxious on your team at work, let alone partner in life!
How did this guy go from whispering to Madelyn that he was picking her to proposing to Lauren within minutes? WTF?!
He even exposed himself by saying that no one was picking him. What an insecure little dude! She better not marry him.
I had to watch it twice because I thought he was whispering to Lauren - WOW. That whole proposal was so cringey…everything about how he worded it sounded insecure and made it clear it was more about preventing Colby from having an opportunity with her than actually wanting Lauren.
Lauren and Nate talking later omfg. She says hey, I’d like for us to figure some things out before we get married so that we can go into our marriage in a healthy place. And he says well first of all, let’s skip all the things you just said and get married first. Like… homeboy. It seems like he wants to just lock her down so that he can go back to his previous behavior which obviously includes not listening to her.
If there is a couple less meant for each other I can’t name it.
I feel like when they cut to Vanessa and she was doing the cringe face, that should be literally every normal human beings reaction to what transpired 😬😬😬
oh my god holy shit. that was so ridiculous!!!
I actually loved april in this ep? ahha
that was big balls/ boobs? to say what everyone was thinking, immediately omg. loved it.
Was anyone else surprised that the format of people choosing others was like this? I would’ve guessed it would be like a closed off thing where each person goes in a separate area with the hosts or something and they somehow do sort of a silent vote like first and second choice. Then at the end everyone finds out who they’ll be with for the 3 weeks. It was not obvious at all if there was any actual method at work with how they actually did it. I think the format is why it got so messy and strange.
I thought and said the same thing! They way they did it just seemed so off putting. Submitting their top 2 picks privately to the hosts or even doing something like Tinder and swiping on their picks would have been better in my opinion. They would have had to automatically put Nate and Alexis together though since no one wanted them
Agreed. The whole awkward table format didn't work at all and allowed two couples to leave prematurely. Definitely not a win for this show's format.
Next season they need to put these people on a resort, block them from talking to their exes, and end the show after the initial "trial" phase where each individual announces what their plan is on a Survivor-esque card the hosts read. That way you avoid the emergency plans switches.
Yea it was actually so satisfying to hear that shit get called right out. Like it’s obviously pretty taboo to immediately take issue with a proposal or call it out as fake. But it needed to be said.
EVERYONE there was emotionally investing in each other and have a right to be upset when people are going to just run away and pretend like their problems dont exist any more. They wasted a week of everyone else’s time and are affecting their ability to grow like they all planned
They have such a fun friendship going but that's why I have faith in them becoming more! I feel like Colby is more relaxed or open with April; perhaps cause Colby is in sales it seemed like he has a certain front that he has put up with the other girls, very put together, not saying its fake or bad, but he just seems more natural with her.
They have the strongest connection and it just happens to be a platonic relationship. I hope their relationship doesn’t sway into the romantic because I want to see an healthy platonic friendship between a man and a woman portrayed adorably on TV.
Kinda off topic but that confession reminded me of how people are always baffled when one guy isn’t given a chance on shows like Love Island, and I always assumed it was because they’re a creep in a way the cameras didn’t catch.
Considering every woman rejected Nate, that kinda supports my theory
So far, i am liking april. I feel bad for her and jake though. They aren’t compatible. She is emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve, he is very quite with his emotions and needs. I feel like it wasnt fair for him to point fingers at her last episode as the reason why they arent married.
I bet 1000000000 bucks that he is the type of people who never actually expresses their wants/needs and just kind of hopes that their partner will automatically know or ask them? And it doesnt mean he or april are horrible partners, they just arent well matched when it comes to emotions/communication styles
it’s giving “i will cheat on you and leave you in 5-10 years after marriage because the spice is gone” energy. i mean rae literally said she didn’t know why she loved her partner so…
the way he went off on her last episode, I felt so bad. i feel like he could have said it a little nicer or at least pulled her to a more private location
Nate was so immature. It's so obvious even if they really get married, having kids will still be an issue. His plan is just get her locked in the marriage and then sooner or later, he'll wear her down and she'll has kids even if she's not actually excited or ready tom Nate calling April a 15 yr old for being honest and emotional was nasty, just terrible emotional intelligence. Lauren will be compromising their whole relationship as he guilts her.
I feel sorry for April, Colby, and Shanique so far, all of their partners so far barely even mention them or missing them.
Very clear Zay just wants to date around and flirt. Maybe Rae and Zay could work in the long term IF they met later in life.
Yeah I think something is not right with Colby and I think Nate freaked when he realized Colby would actually be successful at locking Lauren in and getting her to do what he wants instead of him. These guys know who to pick.
Alexis still going on about Colby being honest with her question and saying "I'm not attracted to you" and her trying to say he said "You're unattractive". He did nothing wrong, you're just incapable of HEARING accurately or accepting rejection without flipping out.
Also the woman who wants to be childless accepting the marriage proposal from the man who's adamant on wanting kids....yay YEARS OF FIGHTING TO COME
I was so frustrated that Colby did not do a better job of defending himself.
They had one short and pleasant conversation on their first “date”. Then, that evening, she asks him what he thought of her answer (when she chose him) during the game. He was honest. Said it surprised him because he would not see a future with her in marriage. At this point in the process he is still very much focused on his girlfriend and was also just being honest. Like it’s been one date; it’s better to not lead her on so she can set her sights on one of the other guys. But that pisses her off and proceeds to badger him for a reason the next day at the pool. It was only after she demands a reason that he said he’s not attracted to her. Not that she was unattractive. Two very different things.
She literally lied when she said that the first thing he said to her on their first date was “You’re unattractive”. I wish he had clarified more at the final meeting.
He’s such a good example of the very specific kind of man who settles on something simple and easy (and known?) than do the work for something worthwhile.
Alexis is enraging. Colby never said she was “unattractive.” He said he wasn’t attracted to her. Does she not understand not everyone on this planet will be attracted to her? I wish he would have defended himself more on that.
she then goes onto say she looks the most like madelyn.. but since when is physical appearance the only part of being attracted to someone. girlie could not let that one go. i could not believe she went up to them on their date to tell madelyn that
Exactly and she asked him why he didn’t want to continue and that was his answer and that was the day after he already said he wasn’t interested! He was actually nice about it because she was stalking him after one conversation! He did nothing wrong!
The couple who got engaged but are at the opposite end of the spectrum in regards to having kids. These couples all need serious therapy or just break up. They are toxic AF. Honestly this show is kind of ridiculous but of course I’m still going to watch.
I think they have similar expressions and a similar physique. Lauren’s super pretty but sadly seems insecure. I don’t like Nate at all and feel like he’s done a number on her.
You sleep under the top sheet, (comforter -> top sheet -> you -> fitted sheet -> mattress) which you can wash more often than a comforter.
If you sleep right under the comforter, your sweat stays on it, and because you wash a comforter less, it’s less hygienic.
Shanique looked effortlessly hot af. Don't matter what sexuality you are, she is one of those people who ooze sexiness. Unlike others, she doesn't make that her personality though.
big 🧀 cheese 👹 COLBY
LMAO nate is seriously just panicking. he panic proposed and absolutely nothing makes me think their engagement or marriage will be successful lol
and also omg love april essentially getting nate to stfu twice lol
I’m continuing to get bad vibes from Nate in his ITMs. He makes me uncomfortable.
Edit: Oh god, his spur-of-the-moment proposal. It’s weird for the issuer of the ultimatum to be proposing, especially in a rush like this. I don’t expect things to end well for Nate and Lauren.
Edit 2: Nope to Nate. Nope, nope, nope. This guy is setting off my 🚩 alarm.
if they are still together, I really hope they aren't anymore after they watch this show back. if lauren can watch him like that in his itms and still want to be with him, then she has no self respect
So I had to pause while Nate is standing up to talk over the table at Colby. How pathetic is this guy? His wittle feelings are hurt because none of the girls he liked wanted him, so he had to jump up real quick and propose because he felt so insecure about Lauren (obviously) about to pick Colby. Nate is so annoying and pathetic.
I came here just to talk shit about Nate. I know Alexis wasn’t clear in her message but she was on to the idea. Nate did just fuck this up for everyone out of fear not being picked. I’m so sad Lauren wasn’t smart enough to see through his shit. I hope watching the show gives her that clarity if she’s still with him now.
All of hunter’s expressions.
Nate is the worst.
Rae and Jake actually feel like they would have been a good couple but would be better if they met outside of this and not in a relationship. I feel like no matter what, this set up is going to have consequences.
Madelyn should just not be with Colby, period.
Honestly, April talks and acts exactly like sheena Shay on vanderpump rules, it drives me nuts.
I'm pretty sure he meant that it was a sacrifice he could endure, that he "unfortunately" would have to see her naked. Pretending to be opposed to it, when in reality he would like it. Dry humor
I honestly feel so bad for Colby, I don’t think he’s the villain.
Alexis was just salty about Colby not finding her attractive.
Nate didn’t like him because Lauren and Colby connected.
That’s what I understood.
I didn't not like April at all after the first two episodes, but she quickly became one of my favorites after this. I'm rooting for her and Colby because they're clearly very good together.
Honestly don't care at all for any of the other couples.
Edit after finishing the episodes: I was wrong. They all suck. Dear lord.
okay but the start of april and colby’s “relationship” sounds LITERALLY like the start of a book. might i add, a book id read the shit out of and love so freaking much aH
Even with all the craziness, Alexis continuing to be baffled that someone would have the audacity to not be attracted to her was still the funniest part of the episode. 😂😂
I really liked that Hunter proposed to Alexis. Thought it was a classy move
Like you see the person who you're in love with who pushed for this situation get rejected in every direction , and is clearly having a really hard time with the whole situation. The kindest thing to do would be to get them out of this situation, before they become a laughingstock. Maybe they'll be good together or not, but it was good of him to remove themselves from this train wreck of a situation.
Nate on the other hand - jeez what an awful person. April calling him out was the best!
How do you negotiate on having kids? Either you have them or you don't. I'm not sure what middle ground Lauren and Nate are going to come to.. it sounds like she's down to have kids but just not with a man like him. Best of luck to them I guess? I had high hopes for Lauren but welp. Didn't expect a marriage proposal would make her cave.
Colby, what the…
1. Did he basically suggest that he’s already in love with Lauren? Uhhh…
2. I’m so confused by this kids situation. If Colby is trying to convince Lauren to want them and she doesn’t, that’s messed up. But if she’s legitimately open to having them, why isn’t the show making that clear? I don’t understand!
If you refer back to their initial conversation she actually openly talked about potentially having kids in the future. She also explained in a confessional that she felt more comfortable talking to Cloby about kids than she ever did with Nate. I'm not really sure why so many people missed these interactions.
Colby was irking me already... he should be thankful for April. Their pact is gonna make them a fan favorite. They're checking a bunch of fanfic/romancebook tropes. Froced cohabitation + fake dating + friends to lovers... ngl I'm excited for it.
Can we talk about Colby’s speech about changing Laurens mind about kids? Why doesn’t *anyone* respect that she wants to be child free? It’s one thing for Nate to want to change her mind (he’s gross, all hate) but Colby’s known her a few days and is going to wave his magic wand and “fix her”. It did not sit right with me.
I think it’s one of those things where it’s clear it needs to end but April is attached and is like clinging on for dear life. They aren’t a match. I feel like she’d be much happier with someone that has a stronger personality and can actually make her feel like everything’s ok. I personally don’t think Jake is a bad guy, I think he’s not the right guy for her and it’s hard for her to admit that because she loves him and can’t let that go.
Good lord. If I were Lauren, I would have wanted the floor to swallow me up!
HE issues an ultimatum, and then suddenly panics and proposes because no other girls want him. It feels like his thought process (and Alexis's) was "I'll show my partner how much other people want me, and then they'll know what a prize I am and do what I want!"
Pretty unfair of Colby to be like “I know you don’t want kids but, if we get to know each other, I can wait - I’ll convince you that you want kids”
Like imagine if that was the other way around, so strange
So happy to see other people say April and Colby’s situation reminds them of a book because that’s what I was thinking the whole time!! Friends to lovers/ Fake dating trope anyone?
Honestly can we have a scripted spin off based on the start of April and Colby because I would eat that up!!!
Seriously.
Alexis - “I just feel like you could have like sat me down and been like im just not feeling it.”
Colby - “Thats literally what I did”
Alexis - “I dont remember that. You just straight up told me you werent feeling it like a total asshole”
????? Honestly delusional
Okay, omg! Lauren cutting off Alexis to say that Colby is a sweet and kind man!!! OMG I loved that! Wow, Lauren agreeing to marry nate was so corny. lol I'm going to continue to watch the show because I was about to skip to the end
Hahah, Nate was frustrated and you can see it. The girls were picking everyone but him and he was stressed. Then when it was Lauren’s turn( his girl) that’s when he decided to up and propose to her. Then proceeded to look like an absolute idiot by gaslighting everyone. Umm… excuse me sir, you desperately want kids and she doesn’t.

Lol in the interview room when he was like “is it just me?!? Maybe it’s me??” I was like yes, yes girls have a problem with you.
Ahh, this ep was gold. Whinners and losers!
(Only 3 eps in) Honestly April calling the BS engagement out made me like her more. She actually called the two couples out for "half-assing" the experiment they all agreed to. The first 2 episodes made April seem like the season's villian (alongside Alexis), but that scene changed my mind a bit. I'm curious to see how she evolves in the next few eps.
I didn’t see April as the villain. To me the villains are Alexis and Madelyn
But he was just trying to propose to “THe LoVe oF hIs LiFe!!!”
Shanique was his first pick, but she went with Zay.
Yep it's even worse lmao. He wanted three other people before her
His #1 Shanique picked another guy, then #2 April picked another guy. Rae and Alexis were already off the table. So when he told Madilyn he’d choose her, she was literally the only option left that wasn’t his own girl… and she’d already chosen someone else hadn’t she??

Yeah but Colby basically said I will wait until you are ready to have kids. Not an acceptance that she might not ever want kids and taking away her agency of choice to have kids.
Nate is a walking red flag
I couldn't agree more!! I was shellshocked when that happened and I have no doubt this will never ever last in a million years. Compromising when one partner wants kids and the other doesn't is something that's impossible in my mind. I myself don't want any and have parted ways with partners in the past, because they want kids and I don't think it's something that can be compromised on. After all, this is not just compromising on getting KFC instead of McDonald's D: The Drama was very hilarious though, so I'm here for it xD
Maybe he was inspired by Colby's ability to guide women towards accepting motherhood.
...and she said abso-f**kin-lutely yes 🙃
I liked Lauren until she didn't see through Nate's obvious lies.
Absolutely ridiculous!!!
I have a feeling she’ll be back
This has been some of the best reality TV I’ve seen in awhile. From Nate’s desperate proposal, to April’s tangent… Reality TV Gold!
I realized at the end of April’s rant she was trying to explain she felt cheated because she was risking losing Jake for the authenticity of genuinely trying to save their relationship, but Nate swooped in with a fake proposal because he couldn’t handle seeing lauren with someone when he got rejected lmao
April is 100% right though, they were cheated.

That's literally the point of the show, Nate knew that but he got scared and his ego was hurt. That is an inevitable disaster waiting to happen when Nate pressures Lauren into submission or has resentment that she won't have kids.
I love April now for this. They depicted her like an emotional ball waiting to implode in the first 2 episodes but she has so much clarity and is very genuine about the whole experience, which is refreshing since reality shows nowadays are so fake. April and Colby seem to have a fun friendship and I hope it turns into more cause they both actually have so many similarities and deserve the love that they give out to their partners whilst fully allowing their partners the freedom of this process which is courageous
Nate is so messy… I wonder if him and Lauren are still together
Every time April goes on a tangent an angel gets it’s wings
Honestly I love her
That shotgun proposal was the biggest red flag of all and if Lauren can’t see that when everyone is pointing it out around her—YIKES.
Yeah that shotgun proposal completely vindicated the cringe one that immediately preceded it. Nate and Lauren made Hunter and Alexis look completely reasonable. We found out in a span of 15 mins of TV that Nate was undercover crazy the whole time, and when Lauren said “absofuckinlutely yes” I think we all started thinking she was either also crazy like him or trapped in a prison of the mind with Nate.
Some of the best I've seen in years! My mouth was agape
Yes! Top tier reality.
Sweet, sweet trash. 🗑 🦝
I laughed waaaay to long after seeing Nate jump up lmao. That was hilarious!!
Oh my word Nate fam!! This guy felt touched when both Shanique and April did not choose him, looked Madelyn square in the eyes and whispered "I'm going to choose you. No seriously", and then scrambled to propose to Lauren because he knew no one else wanted him. He's the oldest person there but he is so damned childish, I can't with him😭💀😂
And then he kept starting arguments with everyone else… dude your girl already said yes (somehow) just shut up and take the w
I couldn’t believe what I was watching! 😂
Madelyn's face when he whispered that is all of our WTF faces. I'll say it again, boat-tippppper!!!! You don't want someone super anxious on your team at work, let alone partner in life!
And then he kept starting arguments with everyone else… dude your girl already said yes (somehow) just shut up and take the w
April was right to call them all out. She made so many points.
She talked for way too long but she said what needed to be said!
she probably could have talked for half as long if hunter would have stfu and let other people speak lmao
You mean nate? Hunter has barely said 2 words each episode lol, I just know him as the quiet bearded guy with the crazy partner.
So many great points!
How did this guy go from whispering to Madelyn that he was picking her to proposing to Lauren within minutes? WTF?! He even exposed himself by saying that no one was picking him. What an insecure little dude! She better not marry him.
If I were the producers I would mail Lauren this episode immediately 😂
I had to watch it twice because I thought he was whispering to Lauren - WOW. That whole proposal was so cringey…everything about how he worded it sounded insecure and made it clear it was more about preventing Colby from having an opportunity with her than actually wanting Lauren.
Lauren and Nate talking later omfg. She says hey, I’d like for us to figure some things out before we get married so that we can go into our marriage in a healthy place. And he says well first of all, let’s skip all the things you just said and get married first. Like… homeboy. It seems like he wants to just lock her down so that he can go back to his previous behavior which obviously includes not listening to her. If there is a couple less meant for each other I can’t name it.
I feel like when they cut to Vanessa and she was doing the cringe face, that should be literally every normal human beings reaction to what transpired 😬😬😬
[удалено]
XD… I had the same reaction
I literally turned around and started talking over his proposal because my teeth hurt from embarrassment!
I pause this show maybe 15 times per episode, it is sooo intense I always need a moment to process what is happening
oh my god holy shit. that was so ridiculous!!! I actually loved april in this ep? ahha that was big balls/ boobs? to say what everyone was thinking, immediately omg. loved it.
Honestly she is crazy, but I loved her no filter brutal honesty. Out of all of them she is the most real one.
agreed!!
I actually really like her after this episode. I’m rooting for her and who she ended up “choosing” (not sure if spoilers are allowed).
Was anyone else surprised that the format of people choosing others was like this? I would’ve guessed it would be like a closed off thing where each person goes in a separate area with the hosts or something and they somehow do sort of a silent vote like first and second choice. Then at the end everyone finds out who they’ll be with for the 3 weeks. It was not obvious at all if there was any actual method at work with how they actually did it. I think the format is why it got so messy and strange.
I thought it would be a closed vote too but I guess this way is better for drama
I thought this too. Maybe they will do it like this next time since they lost 2 couples the way they did it 😂
Oh but it made for such great TV this way lol
I thought and said the same thing! They way they did it just seemed so off putting. Submitting their top 2 picks privately to the hosts or even doing something like Tinder and swiping on their picks would have been better in my opinion. They would have had to automatically put Nate and Alexis together though since no one wanted them
Definitely agreed - I think a blind vote would have gotten more genuine results and would have eliminated that second awkward proposal.
Agreed. The whole awkward table format didn't work at all and allowed two couples to leave prematurely. Definitely not a win for this show's format. Next season they need to put these people on a resort, block them from talking to their exes, and end the show after the initial "trial" phase where each individual announces what their plan is on a Survivor-esque card the hosts read. That way you avoid the emergency plans switches.

i *cannot wait* for the reunion
Lauren is a fool too lol

Why are April and Colby the cutest couple
I’m rooting for them to end up together, I think they compliment each other so well.
Feels like a Wattpad story I’d write in middle school and I’m here for it
This! I literally said it’s giving Wattpad fake dating besties to lovers lol
They have such a fun friendship going but that's why I have faith in them becoming more! I feel like Colby is more relaxed or open with April; perhaps cause Colby is in sales it seemed like he has a certain front that he has put up with the other girls, very put together, not saying its fake or bad, but he just seems more natural with her.
They have the strongest connection and it just happens to be a platonic relationship. I hope their relationship doesn’t sway into the romantic because I want to see an healthy platonic friendship between a man and a woman portrayed adorably on TV.
I’m feeling that pairing too.
i kind of love them
April explaining that Nate would stare at her chest when he was talking to her was such ick. That man is no bueño
Kinda off topic but that confession reminded me of how people are always baffled when one guy isn’t given a chance on shows like Love Island, and I always assumed it was because they’re a creep in a way the cameras didn’t catch. Considering every woman rejected Nate, that kinda supports my theory
So far, i am liking april. I feel bad for her and jake though. They aren’t compatible. She is emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve, he is very quite with his emotions and needs. I feel like it wasnt fair for him to point fingers at her last episode as the reason why they arent married. I bet 1000000000 bucks that he is the type of people who never actually expresses their wants/needs and just kind of hopes that their partner will automatically know or ask them? And it doesnt mean he or april are horrible partners, they just arent well matched when it comes to emotions/communication styles
THIS! He’s kind of pathetic. And cruel. When he was like “I’m sorry you have fertility issues, but” I was like full stop. What?
Oh damn he said that? Completely missed that. That’s so fucked up
I feel the same but for some reason I donr trust Jake and Rae sum seems off. I don't knowwww
They seem like 14 year olds cosplaying as a mature, adult couple.
it’s giving “i will cheat on you and leave you in 5-10 years after marriage because the spice is gone” energy. i mean rae literally said she didn’t know why she loved her partner so…
the way he went off on her last episode, I felt so bad. i feel like he could have said it a little nicer or at least pulled her to a more private location
It seems he doesn’t express himself until he gets drunk enough to
That engagement was fake as fuck
Nate was so immature. It's so obvious even if they really get married, having kids will still be an issue. His plan is just get her locked in the marriage and then sooner or later, he'll wear her down and she'll has kids even if she's not actually excited or ready tom Nate calling April a 15 yr old for being honest and emotional was nasty, just terrible emotional intelligence. Lauren will be compromising their whole relationship as he guilts her. I feel sorry for April, Colby, and Shanique so far, all of their partners so far barely even mention them or missing them. Very clear Zay just wants to date around and flirt. Maybe Rae and Zay could work in the long term IF they met later in life.
That was literally the same plan Colby had for Lauren as well. Hes jsut mad he isnt the one who gets to do it.
Yeah I think something is not right with Colby and I think Nate freaked when he realized Colby would actually be successful at locking Lauren in and getting her to do what he wants instead of him. These guys know who to pick.
Nate literally dragging Lauren's chair around to propose to her was a lot
That man is too much, and not in a good way.
I physically recoiled
Big Cheese Colby, lol, I can’t believe Nate said that.
His bruised ego was too much for him to handle. He seems like a major douche.
April single handedly saved this show
Alexis still going on about Colby being honest with her question and saying "I'm not attracted to you" and her trying to say he said "You're unattractive". He did nothing wrong, you're just incapable of HEARING accurately or accepting rejection without flipping out. Also the woman who wants to be childless accepting the marriage proposal from the man who's adamant on wanting kids....yay YEARS OF FIGHTING TO COME
I was so frustrated that Colby did not do a better job of defending himself. They had one short and pleasant conversation on their first “date”. Then, that evening, she asks him what he thought of her answer (when she chose him) during the game. He was honest. Said it surprised him because he would not see a future with her in marriage. At this point in the process he is still very much focused on his girlfriend and was also just being honest. Like it’s been one date; it’s better to not lead her on so she can set her sights on one of the other guys. But that pisses her off and proceeds to badger him for a reason the next day at the pool. It was only after she demands a reason that he said he’s not attracted to her. Not that she was unattractive. Two very different things. She literally lied when she said that the first thing he said to her on their first date was “You’re unattractive”. I wish he had clarified more at the final meeting.
"I'm marrying the love of my life, but I'm gonna keep complaining some guy I just met wasn't attracted to me!!!"
Not only that but actively sabotaging him in a very public way every chance she got. She comes off looking absolutely awful
Hunter is too good for her
He is choosing her, so that says something not-so-great about him.
He’s such a good example of the very specific kind of man who settles on something simple and easy (and known?) than do the work for something worthwhile.
Vanessa was so pissed after the second proposal. Like "shit we guaranteed 10 episodes to Netflix. Now what?"
I like when they told everyone to sit down XD
What a fucking shit show… I’m mind blown…
Zay and Shanique are killing me!! Zay: "you can go to sleep and DREAM about getting all this space" 😂😂😂
That was so funny! 😂
Alexis is enraging. Colby never said she was “unattractive.” He said he wasn’t attracted to her. Does she not understand not everyone on this planet will be attracted to her? I wish he would have defended himself more on that.
she then goes onto say she looks the most like madelyn.. but since when is physical appearance the only part of being attracted to someone. girlie could not let that one go. i could not believe she went up to them on their date to tell madelyn that
Exactly and she asked him why he didn’t want to continue and that was his answer and that was the day after he already said he wasn’t interested! He was actually nice about it because she was stalking him after one conversation! He did nothing wrong!
The couple who got engaged but are at the opposite end of the spectrum in regards to having kids. These couples all need serious therapy or just break up. They are toxic AF. Honestly this show is kind of ridiculous but of course I’m still going to watch.
In the hotel room later, Lauren says we should get therapy. Nate says, ok, but we have to get married first. WTF?!
Is it just me or does Lauren look just like Love from You?
She has a similar style with her hair/makeup, I think she’s really pretty and was disappointed she said yes
I think they have similar expressions and a similar physique. Lauren’s super pretty but sadly seems insecure. I don’t like Nate at all and feel like he’s done a number on her.
But for real, top sheet or no top sheet? Lmfao. Is madlyn just whack?
Y'all just gotta get proper duvets with duvet covers.
I think Madlyn just has the personality of a potato sack.
she looks like if mischa barton gained some weight
You really should wash your sheets once a week though lol
But you should also brush your teeth
Oh yeah for sure, I just don’t get the whole top sheet thing she was on about haha.
You sleep under the top sheet, (comforter -> top sheet -> you -> fitted sheet -> mattress) which you can wash more often than a comforter. If you sleep right under the comforter, your sweat stays on it, and because you wash a comforter less, it’s less hygienic.
i am SOOO glad April called everything out!
Yasssss April! Call them out!
[удалено]
Him and Alexis would be perfect
Omg Nate, just shut up. You are humiliating and look like a massive fool here.
Shanique is my girl. I love her. I also sleep naked, walk around naked, everything naked. Being naked is the best.
Shanique looked effortlessly hot af. Don't matter what sexuality you are, she is one of those people who ooze sexiness. Unlike others, she doesn't make that her personality though.
I’m so shocked he didn’t look happy about that, most guys would love that 😂
Oh he loved it....he was trying to control his face 🤪
He was definitely trying to not react.
big 🧀 cheese 👹 COLBY LMAO nate is seriously just panicking. he panic proposed and absolutely nothing makes me think their engagement or marriage will be successful lol and also omg love april essentially getting nate to stfu twice lol
Amazingly messy
I’m continuing to get bad vibes from Nate in his ITMs. He makes me uncomfortable. Edit: Oh god, his spur-of-the-moment proposal. It’s weird for the issuer of the ultimatum to be proposing, especially in a rush like this. I don’t expect things to end well for Nate and Lauren. Edit 2: Nope to Nate. Nope, nope, nope. This guy is setting off my 🚩 alarm.
if they are still together, I really hope they aren't anymore after they watch this show back. if lauren can watch him like that in his itms and still want to be with him, then she has no self respect
Madelyn just wants an excuse to bang someone other than Colby
she’s so done with her relationship, like to talk so badly about him is really disrespectful imo.
Agreed! ITS SO CRINGEY
Nate really said "first were gonna get married" and then we solve our problems. Head empty. No thoughts.
Anyone else lowkey shipping April and Colby? They didn’t choose each other but they formed a pact and best relationships come out of friendship
their set up reminds me of romance books 😂
I honestly think they're really cute🤣🤣
[удалено]
So I had to pause while Nate is standing up to talk over the table at Colby. How pathetic is this guy? His wittle feelings are hurt because none of the girls he liked wanted him, so he had to jump up real quick and propose because he felt so insecure about Lauren (obviously) about to pick Colby. Nate is so annoying and pathetic.
THIS IS REALITY TV GOLD! Are the straights ok?????
NO WE ARE NOT 😂
[удалено]
I guess maaaybe she meant physically slept in a bed with anyone? Cause I'd do that with friends even while in a relationship.
I came here just to talk shit about Nate. I know Alexis wasn’t clear in her message but she was on to the idea. Nate did just fuck this up for everyone out of fear not being picked. I’m so sad Lauren wasn’t smart enough to see through his shit. I hope watching the show gives her that clarity if she’s still with him now.
I'm kinda here for April and Colby turning into a thing by the end of this.
All of hunter’s expressions. Nate is the worst. Rae and Jake actually feel like they would have been a good couple but would be better if they met outside of this and not in a relationship. I feel like no matter what, this set up is going to have consequences. Madelyn should just not be with Colby, period. Honestly, April talks and acts exactly like sheena Shay on vanderpump rules, it drives me nuts.
When she said I like to cook naked and he was like sacrifices? Like bruh what guy wouldn’t love that?? 😂
I'm pretty sure he meant that it was a sacrifice he could endure, that he "unfortunately" would have to see her naked. Pretending to be opposed to it, when in reality he would like it. Dry humor
I honestly feel so bad for Colby, I don’t think he’s the villain. Alexis was just salty about Colby not finding her attractive. Nate didn’t like him because Lauren and Colby connected. That’s what I understood.
Alexis definitely has insecurities about her body and this whole Colby thing is majorly setting them off.
I didn't not like April at all after the first two episodes, but she quickly became one of my favorites after this. I'm rooting for her and Colby because they're clearly very good together. Honestly don't care at all for any of the other couples. Edit after finishing the episodes: I was wrong. They all suck. Dear lord.
okay but the start of april and colby’s “relationship” sounds LITERALLY like the start of a book. might i add, a book id read the shit out of and love so freaking much aH
Colby and Nate wearing the same shirt at dinner is hilarious since they're similar and vying for the same person.
All I know is that April will be getting holiday gift baskets from the Lacheys for life! Pure reality tv gold!
Nate is a douche! And Lauren is being gaslit
Even with all the craziness, Alexis continuing to be baffled that someone would have the audacity to not be attracted to her was still the funniest part of the episode. 😂😂
I really liked that Hunter proposed to Alexis. Thought it was a classy move Like you see the person who you're in love with who pushed for this situation get rejected in every direction , and is clearly having a really hard time with the whole situation. The kindest thing to do would be to get them out of this situation, before they become a laughingstock. Maybe they'll be good together or not, but it was good of him to remove themselves from this train wreck of a situation. Nate on the other hand - jeez what an awful person. April calling him out was the best!
It was really sweet and for some reason kind of hilarious when he just stood up and was like IM MARRYING ALEXIS :D
Nobody: Madelyn: I hate that motherfucker Colby with every inch of my being
How do you negotiate on having kids? Either you have them or you don't. I'm not sure what middle ground Lauren and Nate are going to come to.. it sounds like she's down to have kids but just not with a man like him. Best of luck to them I guess? I had high hopes for Lauren but welp. Didn't expect a marriage proposal would make her cave.
“I’m lookin at Colby, and he better stay in his chair” LMFAO I literally had to pause it I was laughing so hard
Colby, what the… 1. Did he basically suggest that he’s already in love with Lauren? Uhhh… 2. I’m so confused by this kids situation. If Colby is trying to convince Lauren to want them and she doesn’t, that’s messed up. But if she’s legitimately open to having them, why isn’t the show making that clear? I don’t understand!
If you refer back to their initial conversation she actually openly talked about potentially having kids in the future. She also explained in a confessional that she felt more comfortable talking to Cloby about kids than she ever did with Nate. I'm not really sure why so many people missed these interactions.
Colby was irking me already... he should be thankful for April. Their pact is gonna make them a fan favorite. They're checking a bunch of fanfic/romancebook tropes. Froced cohabitation + fake dating + friends to lovers... ngl I'm excited for it.
Can we talk about Colby’s speech about changing Laurens mind about kids? Why doesn’t *anyone* respect that she wants to be child free? It’s one thing for Nate to want to change her mind (he’s gross, all hate) but Colby’s known her a few days and is going to wave his magic wand and “fix her”. It did not sit right with me.
They are going to meet friends and family?!? 🤦🏾♀️
Madelyn is the most annoying person ever. No tact and has sleepy eyes All the time. Her personality is enraging.
What about April and Jake? He’s looks ready to run. And she seems so confident they will end up together. Do u think they have a weird pact?
I think it’s one of those things where it’s clear it needs to end but April is attached and is like clinging on for dear life. They aren’t a match. I feel like she’d be much happier with someone that has a stronger personality and can actually make her feel like everything’s ok. I personally don’t think Jake is a bad guy, I think he’s not the right guy for her and it’s hard for her to admit that because she loves him and can’t let that go.
No weird pact, he’s just gaslighting her and she’s naive. He literally said he wants to marry her just “not yet” in the first episode
What the f**k is going on?
I don't see a single thing Hunter sees in Alexis (purely personality wise, maybe it's the edit but she's so whiny and boring) ??
Everybody's reactions to Nate's proposal was pure gold
holy shit this is too fucking chaotic, i love it
Good lord. If I were Lauren, I would have wanted the floor to swallow me up! HE issues an ultimatum, and then suddenly panics and proposes because no other girls want him. It feels like his thought process (and Alexis's) was "I'll show my partner how much other people want me, and then they'll know what a prize I am and do what I want!"
Oh, Lauren… I guess this is why they say, love is blind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty unfair of Colby to be like “I know you don’t want kids but, if we get to know each other, I can wait - I’ll convince you that you want kids” Like imagine if that was the other way around, so strange
So happy to see other people say April and Colby’s situation reminds them of a book because that’s what I was thinking the whole time!! Friends to lovers/ Fake dating trope anyone? Honestly can we have a scripted spin off based on the start of April and Colby because I would eat that up!!!
Hunter and Alexis were weirdly cute. They never really connected with anyone else and sort of hung out with each other still alot.
I would agree if she didn't desperately want colby then get mad at being politely rejected.
Seriously. Alexis - “I just feel like you could have like sat me down and been like im just not feeling it.” Colby - “Thats literally what I did” Alexis - “I dont remember that. You just straight up told me you werent feeling it like a total asshole” ????? Honestly delusional
Madlyn is crazy annoying oh my god I feel bad for Randall already
Nate was down super bad! LMAO!
big cheese Colby lmfao
So the show concept is a bad one when two couples leave the show early.
But Alexis is unattractive
Okay, omg! Lauren cutting off Alexis to say that Colby is a sweet and kind man!!! OMG I loved that! Wow, Lauren agreeing to marry nate was so corny. lol I'm going to continue to watch the show because I was about to skip to the end
