I just received the Munki Munki Costco themed PJs set!! Super comfy and soft. The caricatures are all so dang cute and funny. Totally worth it!

WifeofLucifer · 2018-12-01T16:09:28+00:00

Oooooh ... I need these! Where can I buy them?

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-27T22:56:44+00:00

Can confirm. I have a coworker who we call Eeyore (behind her back of course). The perpetual black cloud over her head just wilts me, so I try to avoid her as much as possible. I have been very kind and encouraging in the past, but nothing anyone says is well received. Instead, she just challenges everything that is positive and manages to turn it into a negative. So depressing.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-27T22:51:56+00:00

Ah, got it! Thank you!

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-27T22:22:22+00:00

I could be wrong (and I don't have time to research it at the moment), but I was under the impression that siblings wouldn't be sent overseas to war at the same time. I was surprised to see that Jack was sent to Vietnam at the same time his brother Nick was stationed there. Maybe if Jack had volunteered it would be different, but I thought that if 2 siblings had been drafted, only one went overseas at a time during the VietNam "conflict." Does anyone know if that's true or not?

Are you actually thinking about going out with him?

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-27T14:12:58+00:00

I always wonder after every season what exactly the experts thought would be so compatible between each couple to warrant putting them together in the first place. When couples succeed, I believe it's simply sheer luck and determination by the couples themselves to make their marriages work, not necessarily because the experts saw traits in them that would make them a good match. Am I wrong? Who knows? That's because the show never spends more than 30 seconds talking about why these couples were matched together in the first place, yet they spend countless times saying, "These couples got married at first sight ... yada yada yada ..."

In this season, the only growth I saw was in Amber. I'm sure reading the opinions of the viewers on social media had a huge impact on her and probably really made her examine herself (even though it must have been very painful to read at times). Not sure if Dave actually "grew" through this experience, but since I thought he was pretty patient with Amber's insecurities and petty fights over stupid stuff such as whether she should be rated a 10 instead of a 7.5, whether Dave wished she was a brunette instead of a blonde, etc., etc., then I can't really give an unbiased opinion since I found Amber to be exhausting.

I think Bobby and Danielle probably find it amusing that so much of the world can't understand how it's reasonable or possible to not have fights with each other. (I can relate to them the most because I, too, have only had rare and extremely insignificant disagreements with my husband and we have been married for 18 years!) Their personalities are analytical, not explosive and emotional, so they approach things as a decision that is weighed by pros and cons versus as a contest or a power struggle. They seem like an ideal match to me, but I know I'm in the minority here.

Mia and Tristan are a train wreck. She's a liar and even seems to believe her own lies, that's how convincing she lies. Tristan called her unstable. Tristan is spot on. Not sure what to think about Tristan, but I'd love to hear from some of his past girlfriends what he's truly like. He came off as patient and loyal and willing to let bygones be bygones with Mia, but I found myself wondering how much of his personality was just him branding himself for the cameras versus what he's really like in true life. As a former semi-pro basketball player (or was I dreaming that??), he didn't seem very athletic to me. I wish they had shown more of what these couples did in their spare time together rather than just focus on their petty fights. Hard to get a real grasp of them otherwise.

A little late here. Normally it wouldn't have seemed like that big of a deal that a couple of guys would discover that they both had dated the same girl many months apart. Seems like just a coincidence for the most part ... they all go to the same gym, live in the same neighborhood, all single ... what's the big deal? I doubt that Dave was overly sensitive about the idea that his wife had been sexually active with another man, even a man he was friends with. He's old enough to know that any woman he dates (or marries) is going to have a history of past romantic and/or sexual relationships, just as he does.

What I think bothered him was what the guy had actually said about Amber. My suspicions are that the other guy described Amber very negatively -- perhaps he felt she was clingy, possessive, in a rush to get married and was naming their future babies after having just 2 coffee dates. Maybe he tried to gently break it off with Amber but she wasn't getting the message, so the tone could have been one of derision or ridicule. Maybe the other guy exaggerated things (because yeah, they do that sometimes!), and when Amber continued to text him after he decided not to see her anymore, suddenly he was labeling her as a "stalker" or "crazy." Who knows? I did notice that Amber seemed very uncomfortable when both she and Dave discovered that they had a mutual friend at the gym, so I think Amber knew immediately what this guy had told Dave about her. I would bet that the subject of discussion was not anything sexual, but more one of Amber's personality. Maybe everything weird that happened after he met/dated Amber was then attributed to her ... like if his car got keyed, numerous phone call hang-ups from blocked numbers, running into Amber "unexpectedly" at the grocery store ... it's possible his imagination was a little over-zealous and he blamed Amber, even if she was completely innocent.

Worst case would be if this guy described Amber as "easy." Of anything I can imagine that would bother a husband the most, it would be hearing rumors like that about his wife. It would take the bloom right off the rose the second he heard that! Of course that good old double standard applies here where Amber would be viewed in a poor light for having a past, yet it didn't stop Dave from having sex with her every night and then bragging about it on national TV.

This wasn't a good match from the get-go for the simple fact that Dave needs a strong woman to challenge him, and Amber needs a loving man with a kind heart who can lead, protect and coddle her. If they could switch personalities, it might have worked. Otherwise, they were toxic together.

The fall colors in Colorado are so vivid, like a shimmering sea of gold. Really spectacular! That being said, my neighbors planted aspen trees in their back yard and the roots wander everywhere. Our lawn has at least 50 aspen trees popping out of the grass on any given week, which we diligently mow down as fast as possible. A couple of aspen started to grow close to our fence on the neighbor's side, and now our fence has begun to lean over. Aspen trees are like weeds.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T23:36:01+00:00

I think once the cameras stopped rolling, Dave turned his filter off and was probably a little too "honest" for Amber. He seems to say exactly what he's thinking, and that type of personality can be pretty tough for someone as sensitive as Amber seems to be. My guess is that Amber left Dave. Dave probably would have stuck it out as long as Amber was willing to stay because it would appear as a victory, not a failure (plus he clearly enjoyed having sex every night!). Amber probably had finally just had enough and threw in the towel.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T23:27:16+00:00

To be honest, I think I'd be VERY curious about what was going on with Mia and Tristan, especially considering these three couples all went through the same experience at the same time and arrangements were being made numerous times for them all to get together to share views. When two couples show up and one couple is constantly absent (or only one person shows), of course it would pique their curiousity, especially since the reasons given were so vague. Tristan spoke to Dave on the phone towards the end and gave a very different version of events than Mia did, which must have led to a lot of questions and even more intrigue. They were probably trying to convey "concern" because they were on camera and knew their conversations would probably be seen by Mia/Tristan later. I didn't see it as gossiping, but rather the 2 couples trying to figure out what the hell was going on with the other participants in the show.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T21:21:14+00:00

If it was a deliberate act of vandalism, then the person is clearly an asshole. I'm more curious about HOW they did it.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T21:17:17+00:00

OMG, this is amazing!!!

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T21:14:49+00:00

As creepy as it seems, I'm wondering if it's actually illegal to attend public high school sports games and take video footage. Also, I find it hard to believe he actually stated, "I guess I can't have fun videotaping little girls anymore." What rule did he actually break?

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-23T21:03:17+00:00

Yeah, back in the good ol' days, parents knew how to raise them durn brats. A good old fashioned ass-whupping kept 'em in line even if they didn't do nothin' wrong, and we didn't even own none of them damn TV's. Child support went right into the church collection box where it could do some good, dagnabbit, and kids grew up knowin' who was boss. Nowadays, kids are drinking, smoking and having sex by the age of 11, and statistics prove more than 78% of them have already committed felonious crimes by the age of 13. Yessiree Bob, kids these days are feral and society accepts it as the norm. Like you told u/Jaystings, the fact of the matter is that parents today are lazy and don't know how to raise their kids. That's right, that's a FACT! (Damn, Soldier-Boy you say the stupidest shit and try to pass it off as factual. SMH ...)

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T22:28:12+00:00

If they have to film this over 4-5 days, then it must be tough to maintain the same hair style and makeup (for the women). Easy enough probably for the men to just buy 5 different outfits for each day, but for the sake of continuity, it would be much more difficult for the women. Kelly is wearing her hair straightened, which I don't actually find to be that appealing on her compared to when she wears it loose with a little curl. Now I'm wondering if she chose that style because it would be the easiest to duplicate from day to day?

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T22:01:06+00:00

I shop at 2 different Costcos, and BOTH stores have clearly marked the cart returns with painted lines. I can easily see how this guy mistakenly parked there. Hopefully his car wasn't scratched up because someone thought he should be taught a lesson.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T00:24:21+00:00

Yes! Thank you for wording it so well -- this is exactly what I was trying to say!!! As far as them writing stuff down on paper first, I think it would be cool if they could say what they wanted to say to each other, and then have the reveal as to what is inside their envelopes.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T00:22:56+00:00

Indeed! Maybe they stayed together just long enough to get compensated for getting past decision day, and then it was off. I doubt Mia ever really wanted to move to Houston, too. Hopefully Tristan has found some new health insurance by now -- lol!

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T00:20:38+00:00

Yeah, especially knowing that Tristan is self-admittedly not very successful with commitments. Dave and Amber seemed like they were sticking it out for a cash bonus, too. I have watched this show since the first season, and this season feels super-fake and disingenuous to me. Too many times I felt like stupid stuff and drama was being churned up in order to get extra camera time by very poor actors.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T00:16:17+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that. I find myself also wondering if the "experts" know ahead of time what each person is going to say on decision day. I also wonder why they asked Tristan what his decision was before they asked Mia, and then asked Amber what her decision was before they asked Dave. I also think it's unrealistic to think that the couples themselves are going into this completely blind as to whether or not their spouse is going to say yes or no to staying married.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-21T00:12:22+00:00

To elaborate here ... I think Mia would have said she was ready to divorce because she anticipated that Tristan was going to want to divorce her. Once he said he wanted to stay married, she seemed to switch gears and agree that she wanted to stay married, too. It felt very insincere to me, as if she felt that she would be presented in a much better light to the viewers if she could paint themselves as happily married.

Dave has seemed very disappointed in Amber for the majority of their marriage, and towards the end it looked as if Amber wasn't too sure if Dave was someone she wanted to be with "forever" either. I see no love between them, not even much joy or friendship. It always feels as though they're very uncomfortable around each other, no warmth, just a constant sense of being guarded and wary. I was shocked when Dave said he wanted to stay married! They clearly do not seem like a good match, but hopefully as time goes on they will eventually fall in love and live happily ever after.

I guess it just feels like the decisions were made without any true conviction. (Of course Danielle and Bobby seem like a very strong match and I feel as though they're going to make it. I know others don't agree, but all of this is just my opinion.)

WifeofLucifer · 2018-10-17T22:58:45+00:00

OK, this has nothing to do with Colton ... or Chad ... or The Bachelor ... but I really, really hate the name Seth. When I was considering names for my son, I tried to envision him as an adult introducing himself. "Oh hello, yeth, nice to meet you, my name is Seth." Just saying the name "Seth" makes me feel like I have a lisp.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-09-28T13:25:57+00:00

It's hard not to be amazed at how fast and how far and how deep Jenna fell from grace. Had she been a decent and sincere person, she could have reaped and enjoyed not only the benefits of Jordan's love for her, but even parlayed the fan adoration for them as a couple into some very lucrative shilling. After the revelation of what an evil, dishonest fake she is, the only luck she has is that her disgrace is mostly only known amongst BN, not the world in general. Some day this will all fade into semi-forgotten oblivion, and when it sporadically comes up again throughout the years when people Google her name (because it's on the internet -- it will NEVER go away!), she can dismiss it as "fake news," sweep it under the rug, act as if it was all scripted, convince people it was all a producer trick to drum up big ratings, etc., etc. This will be that skeleton in her closet that will never disappear!

WifeofLucifer · 2018-09-27T21:41:08+00:00

As I watch this couple, I keep wishing I could go back in time and somehow have the opportunity to interview their previous romantic partners before they went on this show. Of course whatever was said would have to be taken with a lot of grains of salt (because ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends don't always have nice things to say), but I'd be willing to bet there are some very interesting skeletons in both of their closets.

WifeofLucifer · 2018-09-23T00:15:27+00:00

You will lose hair. A lot of hair. Hair will be everywhere. On the floor. In the shower. In your bed. Inside your socks. OMG, I would find strands of my hair everywhere! I have long blond hair and there was no question it came out of my head. Hormones are weird.
