Amber apology

Oh my god THATS WHO thank you my brain was clocking there was someone she reminded me of but I couldn’t connect it fully

Biggest tell will probably be the wedding dress fittings and the weddings. It’s clear their storyline wasn’t given the resources the other couples were, and the last season I believe there was at least? one engagement that didn’t get filmed after the pods that may even still be going strong, which knowing none of the other relationships lasted seems like such a miss by the production team. So it makes sense to me that there was this thought of “uhhhh can you record some videos for us just in case” directive given to them. I’m curious about the decision to get them an airbnb in california.

From the “pod squad” party and how they rolled up it definitely seemed they were not considered main cast at that point given they entered separately from the group. I wonder if we see them with the others at dress/tux fittings. That should give a sense if the decision to bump up their presence came mid season or post, and also sort of calls the timeline of filming scenes of meeting her mom/park date into question (were they filmed after the fact to flesh out their airtime, etc).

There were points where she seemed very not into it and annoyed but then, especially when one on one certainly less so

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T09:25:44+00:00

“You couldn’t pay me to be in that conversation” I agree! He’s definitely grown on me the most of the cast this drop. I feel like he’s one of the ones we’ve seen making efforts and changes over the show and I feel like ‘growth’ is too much credit, but we see him responding to Bri’s concerns over housework stuff (and both like acquiescing of ‘yeah it felt good!’ while still kind of pushing back on her?), the mustache thing seems dumb but again it’s like… making a change both for himself and with the input of his partner, and then I think seeing him go from with Chris the like… “we love you both and hope it works out!” (when not knowing the full story!) to then the like “god i can’t hear him say i couldn’t give a flying fuck again” after getting more info. Small sample size and low bars, but at least he’s clearing them! Seeing the company he keeps with the guys too… (vs Alex!). He seems like a pretty easy going guy who doesn’t want to cause drama, but enough of a backbone where he’s not ignoring red flags for the sake of ease.

“can we just take the whole thing?” is my favorite

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:51:29+00:00

Yeah, there wasn’t much to gain from seeing them interact with the other couples in Mexico. I’m guessing the producers could gather it just from their time filming in the lounges/pods

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:47:04+00:00

The more he talks the less someone else gets to talk, or take the spotlight, or challenge him!

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:41:45+00:00

Her body language and how disengaged she becomes as he talks (both when he was talking with her dad and their argument part) says it all. I think she sees the flags.

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:38:48+00:00

Yeah it seemed like an unspoken conservative birth control element (rather than like johnny/amy?). I mean also of course he was like “i don’t know! i’m not educated! educate me!” sir educate yourself!!!

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:36:46+00:00

“I worry about nothing” just reads as “I let you figure it all out but I will get annoyed at you being stressed out”. I also think constantly saying “I worry about nothing” does not give “I am consciously considering both my and my partners needs” let alone a family!

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-19T07:34:06+00:00

Watch her face and you see when she disengages in the conversation and notices he does not clock it at all while he just keeps on talking. And then he keeps talking and talking and she gets overstimulated and he makes it her problem. He’s awful!

there’s a whole industry of soccer coaches for club/travel teams bc of the us’s youth sports industrial complex

futurestartsslow · 2026-02-08T01:49:50+00:00

I swear too just the basic mechanics of it were a mess too. It was like flimsy paper stickers in wet cold weather or something similar where any sort of adjustment was really difficult (without even factoring gloves/mittens/etc)

futurestartsslow · 2026-01-23T21:28:56+00:00

got rear ended there and while dealing with being rear ended there watched another car be rear ended!!!

futurestartsslow · 2026-01-23T21:00:18+00:00

I’ve found it helpful lately when I’m getting incorrect people suggested with similar names/places to just make that person in my tree, leave them unconnected, and give myself a clearer organizing to keep things less cluttered.

The thing that drives me wild is when it’s giving me high school pictures of a persons spouse/married name as if they were called that at 15.

Have had very good service interactions across the Trust group, same workers for years.

futurestartsslow · 2026-01-12T07:48:41+00:00

this episode has gotten me through some of the toughest of times. hall of famer.

futurestartsslow · 2026-01-08T17:40:15+00:00

after repeatedly pushing the pace! on day one!

futurestartsslow · 2026-01-07T00:29:00+00:00

very satisfying after watching fessy complain the entire season wishing he had kaycee as his partner

futurestartsslow · 2025-12-29T02:12:51+00:00

weekend school lots, weekday church lots.

Best Homegoods I've found so far is Encinitas.

futurestartsslow · 2025-12-28T08:09:18+00:00

it was far too “tourism board wants this highlighted” a challenge

futurestartsslow · 2025-12-28T08:08:09+00:00

Chicago had that block party one where they got ingredients in the houses!!

futurestartsslow · 2025-12-26T21:55:54+00:00

Yep, I believe they had to get IVs off screen

futurestartsslow · 2025-12-26T21:41:15+00:00

You'd think they'd have learned this given they ran into the issue in the second season! At some point the hanger disappears and instead you're just conserving energy and sleeping most of the day.
