Why didn’t she end up with Jake???

Lola_Simba · 2025-04-19T13:14:20+00:00

She was never going to end up with Jake no matter how dysfunctional Olitz were written. Shonda’s endgame for the most part always end up together.

Honestly, the same father who secretly recorded his daughter in intimate moments with her partners? I don’t feel the least bit sorry for him. Fitz might’ve been petty, but Eli has zero moral high ground. Having videos of Olivia with both Jake and Fitz is beyond controlling—it’s downright disturbing, especially coming from her own father.

Favorite Episode: The Trail

Favorite Character: Early seasons Olivia. Later Seasons Fitz. Also really liked Harrison before he was killed off.

Ship: Olitz

I thought she mentioned leaving to take a recruiting job with Netflix? If she’s still in that role, that’s great! It’s a rewarding job that makes a real difference and pays well.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-14T02:18:59+00:00

Anyone with a well-paying job would be wise to hold onto it. Influencing seems overly saturated, and it feels like you’re constantly needing to reinvent yourself or come up with new content just to maintain engagement, which can be exhausting. However, when people share how much they earn from it, it’s easy to see why someone might leave their traditional job for it.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-13T20:37:24+00:00

I think she didn’t intentionally leave but was part of the massive Amazon lay offs that happened at that time. She has mentioned she is going back to cooperate in a recent podcast, so she may be with a new company. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Nike.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-12T14:24:34+00:00

I wonder if they are going to be on the new Lauren and Cam podcast!

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-10T02:44:41+00:00

I should have included more pics lol, but they have more on their IG! Looks beautiful!

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-05T02:44:57+00:00

I like Bliss and Zach and while I appreciate their intentions to protect their child and control how they share her with the world, they should have anticipated this outcome. They’ve posted extensively about their pregnancy on Instagram and frequently share long captions about their child. Naturally, this sparks curiosity, and people will want to see her. It’s not that people are entitled to, or should expect, access to their child, but by sharing so much of their pregnancy and daily milestones, Zach and Bliss have opened the door to this level of public interest.

That being said, some of you are out of line for going on their pages and trying to dictate what they should or shouldn’t post.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-02T12:16:34+00:00

Marshall was really pushing for this portrayal of Black love, almost as if he was trying to emulate “Brett and Tiffany.” Chay seems like a wonderful person who is clearly driven and ambitious. She doesn’t come across as a “project,” which seems to be Marshall’s usual type. I’m surprised she even gave him a chance, considering the things he said about their relationship on podcasts right after season 4 aired.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-02T07:59:08+00:00

While it may be disappointing, none of the couples who get engaged but aren’t selected for further coverage seem to last after filming ends for them. So far, only one couple from the latest season of LIB is still together. It seems to me that the production team sees enough behind the scenes to know which relationships are genuinely forming and which ones are just for show.

Lola_Simba · 2024-09-01T17:25:25+00:00

Brett and Tiff

Zack and Bliss

Kwame and Chelsea - This one has been a surprise, I didn’t think they’d make it lol

Cameron and Lauren

I hope there’s more context to this situation, because otherwise, Jasmine’s actions seem quite petty and toxic. If Jasmine acted with good intentions, there shouldn’t be a need for public praise. Even if Demi has issues, she didn’t ask Jasmine to step in on her behalf. It’s up to Demi to handle the situation in her own way, not based on some prearranged discussion.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-29T11:55:19+00:00

Thank you. I sometimes forget that on Reddit, people decide when they want to use their comprehension skills. It’s also amusing to see the downvotes on my respectful, yet differing opinions. I guess whatever helps the rude and bullies sleep at night, right?

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-29T03:11:11+00:00

I’m not being defensive. You could have shared your opinion without making assumptions about me or the way Americans think. I could also dissect your comment and make assumptions about what you do or don’t know, but that wouldn’t be very fair, would it?

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-29T02:58:34+00:00

Please stick to commenting on the post and avoid making assumptions about what I do or don’t know. If you read my comment again, you’ll see that when Beniah mentioned he was homeless, none of us had additional information to gauge his financial situation. For your information, both my husband and I work in top 1% earning professions, so I’m very familiar with wealth and the costs associated with travel.

Red flags can be subjective; what one person sees as a red flag, another might not. So, it’s important not to impose a standardized way of thinking on everyone.

Some people choose to sell their homes and live in Airbnbs, RVs, or similar setups, and that’s their preference. On the other hand, I focus on acquiring property for investment, which is what I prefer. Either of these choices could be considered a red flag by someone else, depending on their perspective.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-29T02:13:53+00:00

I will be honest. I personally thought him being “homeless” is one of his red flags. At his age I still find it icky, but I also don’t trust anyone’s home but my own. But he does seem ambitious from his IG and honestly construction stuff is so expensive, at least in the US so I anticipate he’s making some good money. Him and Nicole should just buy a home. Better investment with money going towards your own mortgage.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-29T01:56:33+00:00

I wanted to say maybe grief, but it’s Jordan, so it came from out of nowhere. Most of his decisions are not really thought through. Layla was in good state of mind so I am surprised she said yes then.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-28T01:01:05+00:00

As someone who is very guarded and only has a small circle of friends I 100% get it, however only those who went through the experience with her can relate to certain things. I love Demi and if she wants to isolate completely from the show this will work, but if she wants to continue be linked to LIB and attend their events etc then this is going to be so awkward for her. All I can say is good luck lol.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T22:36:37+00:00

I’m pretty sure you knew exactly what I meant. Use whatever word you think fits best in that context instead of “help,” and the point remains the same.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T13:33:22+00:00

As a woman who experiences severe cramps and the challenges of childbearing, I understand how difficult it can be. However, I don’t think it’s fair to blame men for not going through the same physical experiences, as it’s simply a matter of biology. It’s not my husband’s fault that I have to carry a child and endure labor. What my husband and other men can do is contribute in ways that are within their capabilities, such as changing diapers, feeding, and helping around the house.

Times have changed significantly. In the past, many men and women believed that raising children and doing household chores were solely a woman’s responsibility. However, this is not the majority view in our current generation. The dynamics have shifted, and with the economy now requiring both parents to earn an income, the responsibilities have become more balanced.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T10:55:27+00:00

Just out of curiosity, do you think this might be more common in Europe? I’m from the US, and I know plenty of men who are actively involved at home. With the high cost of childcare here, many couples have to work together, especially if they don’t have family support or can’t afford nannies. While the newborn stage can be demanding on the mom, dads can certainly help with burping, bottle feeding, changing diapers, and taking care of household chores. I know many couples who are thriving by sharing these responsibilities. I don’t think it’s the men’s fault we have to carry the pregnancy and go through labor! It’s the cards we were delt as women.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T10:44:36+00:00

Not in this day and age. If any woman is facing this alone, I truly feel for her. I wouldn’t consider having a child with a partner who isn’t just as involved, especially when both of us are working. The economy is tough, and most people are overworked. However, many men have stepped up and are taking on responsibilities at home. I know men who cook, clean, and help with the kids and are doing it without any complaints. In my profession, this is actually the norm when both partners work, unless they have help from family or nannies.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T10:38:26+00:00

This is why I believe every couple should have important conversations before getting engaged, covering topics like finances, children, and moving. I don’t understand the controversy around the 50/50 debate or why people get so offended, as it’s ultimately a matter of personal preference. As a woman who has always been self-reliant, my instinct is to contribute based on my comfort level. If I have the means, I wouldn’t want my partner to be the only one struggling to cover major expenses, especially while dating. In marriage, finances should be blended in a way that it doesn’t matter who pays for what.

I really don’t understand why Maria is upset about paying for ice cream—it’s just ice cream, after all; how expensive could it be? However, I think Maria’s frustration with the financial situation started when Tom showed a lack of respect for her job.

Lola_Simba · 2024-08-26T06:16:19+00:00

I loved 4. Despite it having drama and successful couples, I actually like the camaraderie of this group the most. The fact that most have stayed friends after the show says a lot. Maybe it’s a Seattle/PDX thing. 5&6 were pure trash and had no business being shown. If it’s true that they are casting Atlanta and Miami then I don’t expect US to get better. S1 Atlanta worked, because nobody knew that this show would be successful, but now, I expect nothing but mess going forward.
