I remember that dude, he was married to good looking chick as I recall

Bump

The bloom is off on AJ. Seems to be a closet control freak.

Luke seems like he's trying a bit now, but I have a feeling he's going to get Neiled (former season) as he grows fonder of Kate. You don't just forget being treated that way.

It's interesting to watch the dynamic playing out with the other two couples who are dealing with neo-gender roles versus traditional roles. Despite society's best efforts, biology finds a way.

AJ's temper is the reason why he has stayed single for 5 years. Luckily they matched him with the best option to handle that in Stephanie. However, we will see how fast she grows tired of handling a toddler sometimes.

Luke got guilt tripped into trying. Kate is hot and I dont understand why that dude isnt into her.

I doubt any of these marriages make it

I think we may go 0 for 4 this time. Best possible is 2 for 4 (AJ and Steph, Keith and Kristina) Luke and Kate may not make it to decision day, and Will and Jasmine are just too different.

I think you don't get paid if you quit. Plus it's only two months before decision day. Last season for the first time they gave the couples $5,000 a month for living expenses. This season they went ahead and rented apartments for them. I'm sure at the end of the 8 weeks, if they stay together they will have to find another place to live.

Maybe it was the smoking.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves and turnoffs. If I made it clear to the producers that smoking was a 100% no go and still they paired me with a girl that smoked anyway, I wouldn't even give it a chance. I would walk.

Like what is the point of asking the questions before hand if the producers are just going to ignore them

All his previous girlfriends he listed were non-white

AJ would be fun in a short spurt like on night at a party, but having to live with him every day I'd strangle him with a pillow in his sleep.

I just don't think it's the smoking thing. She said now that she knows how he feels she will never smoke again. My ex wife was an occasional smoker when we met, I told her that it was a red flag for me and she quit. BTW years later when I caught her smoking, I knew it was the beginning of the end. I think he is just an A Hole, but would not be surprised that he might be gay or bi.

Luke finally coming around to Kate?

---

didn't get to watch the ep until yesterday but I don't really agree with the above. For starters I think Luke is fully aware at this point, both in the reality of their everyday lives plus his sitdown with Cal, how he is perceived by the public which is not good at all. So I think he is forcing himself to at least try to be somewhat nice to her. I still don't think they have even 1% of a shred of hope though. At the party he was a total jerk in teh way he acted towards all parties. Yes I understand that he brought like 30 friends and she had abotu 3 (btw why invite that many people, trying to bigtime her or something? It's supposed to be a small intimate gathering [in their small starter apartment] and he invites everyone he knows?) but he spent an incredibly disproportinate amount of time with his people compared to hers. This was supposed to be a couples thing to mix and mingle, but he sealed himself off with only HIS friends while basically ignoring kate and leaving poor girl to just kind of stand in the corner with her friend. It was sad. Eventually it was luke's friends that had to actually make the effort to include kate. If that were me, I would try to be near kate at least MOST of the time, and be sure to introduce everyone. "hey guy thanks for coming, this is my wife kate" Instead he acted like he was throwing a kegger in college.

And I don't buy that kiss at the end for one minute. There were 2-3 times, in that handheld camera selfied video thing, where kate was right next to his face and clearly was begging for any kidn of affection and he ignored it. It wasn't until the very end where she was basically directly next to his mouth that he relented and kissed her. It seemed like he said "sigh...ok well I guess i HAVE to so I will". Then it was a teeny little chicken peck, its' something a boy and girl in 5th grade would do while playing spin the bottle before both wiping their mouths off and trying to show their friends how gross it was. Then he sticks his tounge out ot the camera! Basically telling america "hey guys, I know you think I don't ever kiss her and don't like her but did you see that! I DID just kiss her! HAHA, so there!!" I hate luke so much.


As for the others, I lose interest in jasmine and will by the minute. They are just boring people together. Neither is overly outgoing or excitable, they don't really seem to get happy or fired up about anythign, they're jsut kind of monotone robots going through the motions together.

I like will and kristine a lot and htey seem to be doing great. As far as the secks talk (I hate typing it like that but I'm not sure if work has a filter that looks for certain words) did will finish inside of her? Pepper was acting like not using contraception was the biggest disaster in history but if he was pulling out who cares. But if he wasn't, I have to quesiton both of their intelligence.

AJ and stephanie are the same as they have been since minute 1. They both seem like they're in it for the long haul. I'm pulling for them.
