Shes close with her family and genuinely looking for love; this isnt a wannabe influencer on the loose.
Andrew:I cannot believe Andrew is a real person and not artificial intelligence created by Elon Musk.
Why do I now know about this mans first orgasm without ejaculation?
His monologue on transcendental sex was minutes of my life that Ill never get back.
Also, why does he make meow sounds?
Bartise:Always be wary of a younger man who says hes ready for marriage and kids.
He frankly seems too normal!
Alexas reaction to him is perfect.
Also, her voice reminds me of Gianninas.
Matt:Matt is bland but not in a bad way.
Just in an unmemorable way.
Nancy:I am already obsessed with this nut.
Shes a 31-year-old speech pathologist who wants ten kids and cries for the first time at the 17-minute mark.
Raven:A 27-year-old Pilates instructor who is obsessed with fitness.
I mean obsessed to the point where she cant stop working out while Bartise spills his guts to her.
SK:SK is so clearly a data engineer.
He gives off methodical energy; he seems very rational.
Hes 34, which I approve of, and wants an educated wifey who isnt ignorant!
Zanab:Zanab has a heaviness to her, a weariness.
Shes a 31-year-old flight attendant, and she lost both of her parents young.
I am worried for her on this show.
By the end of the second episode, Alexa and Brennon, and Cole and Zanab, are engaged.
Brennon calls Alexa his lobster, which tells me everything I need to know.
Who cares about your favorite big cat?
What about What does religion look like in our combined lives, and how will we raise our children?
Both Brennon and Alexa are children of divorce, and the two get very vulnerable, very fast.
This is the most perfect thing he has done in his life.
Their reveal pays off.
These two seem to gravitate naturally toward each other, and their awkwardness is on par for the situation.
When he grills Zanab about Thailand, I imagine he would enjoy being a digital nomad.
Maybe he doesnt even have a bath mat.
Perhaps shes so desperate to find somebody shell settle with anybody.
Their proposal saddens me, as it will not work and will likely cause Zanab massive amounts of suffering.
Also, Cole commenting on the size of her boobs is so deeply depressing.
Do wehaveto talk about Nancy and Andrew?
I am on my knees, praying nay, begging that she doesnt end up with this man.
That being said, Im not sure how I feel about Bartise and Nancy, either.
I think theyre a better match but am concerned about Bartises eagerness to settle down as a 25-year-old.
That may be what hethinkshe wants, but I dont think thats what he actually wants.
Honestly, I think Bartise and Raven would be a stronger couple.
To her credit, Raven realizes shes not picking up what Bartise is throwing down.
He wants a partner to make him feel better, and she says they clearly have different values.
Now her primary focus is on SK, who seems fine!
But I do not see wedding bells in the future for this couple.
This brings us to poor Colleen.
Poor Colleen has suffered rejection after rejection in the pods.
Colleen says shes not used to accessing vulnerability.
Shes not shallow, she claims, but shes comfortable with keeping things surface-level.
This makes me very sad.
Babe, with your husband???
Maybe with your mailman!
Maybe even with your book club!
But I do think your life partner and you should have … some semblance of a deeper connection.
Cole kicks her to the curb.
Lets remember that Brennon has already kicked her to the curb.
Colleen then goes to Matt and confesses that shes scared to reveal her true self.
She tells Matt shes ready forthatserious relationship, and good news so is Matt!
He wants to throw the pigskin around with his kids and take them golfing.
I actually want to smite the producers for leaving us on such a cliffhanger.
Who will Nancy choose?
Is she going to have to greet her future husband with a meow for the rest of her life?
Luckily, the episodes are now streaming, so we can just click Next!
