I understand. I was screaming "run" at the tv too. However, it's a lot easier to see crazy from the outside looking in, and from the limited clips they show us.

Paige is 25 and clearly stated that she was not a virgin when she married Chris. So I have my doubts that she feels she must stay cause they had sex.

I wonder if the sweet nothings Chris is whispering in her ears is along the lines of, we are the stars of this show, everyone is talking about us, so keep the show up and we might just get more TV time TV pay.

That would be ignoring the biology of sex, as well as the entire context of the situation. It's not JUST because they had sex. But that is part of it, I'm sure. You might do some reading on the role of oxytocin (released during orgasm) and how it affects bonding in women.

Not saying it's the sole reason. But it can be a powerful drive for women, not so much for men.

If that premise held true would not the majority of females still be with the first person they ever had a sexual relationship with?

No. It means that it's more difficult to leave. Hence all the women that go back to abusive relationships.

It doesn't mean it's impossible, or that the negatives don't eventually override the attachment.

I’m always in the minority but I like Jake, I think he’s approaching the situation in a well thought out way. He’s trying to figure out the best way to fix the Haley situation. He’s not perfect but he’s trying.

I like Jacob too. I think he was trying, Haley sure wasn't. I also think he has given up now.

I'm not that impressed with Jake. He doesn't listen to her, just wants her to the way he wants her to be.

I think Haley has made mistakes too, for sure. But mostly I think she just wasn't attracted to him from the start and is doing her best to hang in there and hope that attraction develops.

On another note, anyone watching Australia? Oh my goodness, what a train wreck! And Sam and Innis (?) staying with their other halves just so they can keep seeing each other on the sly???

I also felt terrible for Matthew. To finally come out of his shell, and they seemed so over the moon with each other. And then she wants a man who lost his virginity a week ago to consider swinging?

Where did they get these people???

The Australian version makes the US one seem tame. They have more couples which makes it hard for my old brain to keep up.

As for US.
Paige is foolish if she thinks Chris is mature enough to be married.

Vincent and Brianna seemed very well matched until it became obvious that he is extremely sensitive and can not laugh at himself even with something so simple as spilling Champagne.

Jacob and Haley are too different to make it. I think she tried but she is just not attracted to him. They had sex but she is not stuck on that fact as much as he is. Every time she tries to move forward , he starts a conversation about attraction sending her back to square one.

Eric and Virginia are great but not at the same stage in life. He seems to be in the stay at home, have kids and be in that lane. She seems to be in the lets just be together for awhile and see where it takes us. Not sure she is independent enough to handle his job required absences.

Clara and Ryan . Just as bad as Chris and Paige. Ryan wants to receive but not give in any category. He is a lot like Chris but hides it better.

I don’t see any long term happy endings with this group.

It was so absurd that it was stunning.

Chris and Paige, let’s start over, go on a date.

Paige oh yes darling let’s do.
Chris I’ll come over to your house and bring take out chicken. We can eat wings and Bible study.

Paige Oh Chris your the best. That would be awesome.

Chris I won’t tell you where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing but I might feel like maybe I might could love you some day.

Paige as long as you put me first.

Chris by the way, I bought my baby mama Mercedes a Benz. it’s the only car she’s not afraid to drive.

Paige Ok sure.

Chris well she is carrying the next King or Queen of Chris fairy tale land.

Paige God put us together for a reason, just because you don’t find me attractive, love your ex, tell me I’m on my own financially but buy your ex a Benz doesn’t mean we are not meant to be.cause that’s Gods plan for marriage.

I don’t know what their game is but part of me hopes they are just playing the reality TV game and not in serious need of intense therapy.

he probably eased it and it was repossessed. Chris has a history.

Australian version..I can’t stand Ines, I hate her smile...yet I also feel she went through so much trauma in her past that she naturally responds by hurting others/lying/thinking she has the upper hand...

I agree, Legal. Felt bad that after Sam cheated with her, he decided to out them without talking to her first. And now he's saying that the affair was "fake." And she is saying that they staged that so they could get off the show, and off camera he was promising they would be together.

It's hard to feel sorry for her, because she's so manipulative herself... but.

Don't know why they matched Sam and Elizabeth either... or Ines and Bronson. I feel the worst for Bronson.

But Sam is saying that the experts don't match the couples, the producers do. So who knows?

Watching Unfiltered. It looks like Ryan tries to make himself unattractive from his unflattering weird hair cut to the ridiculous moustach. Have I understood correctly that even though there’s no intercourse that she is sexually pleasing him but he is not reciprocating?

After reading the Colton Underwood interviews this morning, it occurred to me that Ryan may be gay, and trying hard to repress it.

Anyone surprised at the outcomes? Anyone sympathetic to Haley? Anyone believe Mercedes was ever pregnant to start with?
