SO many thoughts on this, which is surprising considering how boring I found the after the altar episodes (oops). Completely agree, there’s no character development, and mostly I just felt sad for everyone? Well, sad for the women, let’s make that distinction. Nancy, letting go is hard but girl, I so wish you could do it. Colleen annoys the heck outta me and she’s so wishy washy but she deserves so much better than Anger Management Matt. Alexa looked amaaaaaaazing in that bday dress but even though they seem like the happiest couple, I see that one combusting soon. I don’t even want to touch on SK - if Netflix wanted drama and to raise viewership they had so much opportunity to do it. Instead, they avoided bringing up any of the shitty things the dudes did and focused on how emotional the women were. Boring. And lastly, poor Cole keeps getting the short end of the stick. He’s tried to talk to Zanab so many times and she just doesn’t listen. Out of all of them, I think he’s shown the most growth and maturity and honestly I’m here for it.

Exactly - perfectly said. I felt bad for everyone because I do not believe they were ready to be on national TV like this. Netflix avoiding all the elephants in the room was what irked me. We saw what happened in real time and none of it was addressed. So odd right? Nancy crying like that - was relatable. Constantly thinking he will change but never does - like that hurts. I just hope she stood by her word because he's messy imo. I could care less if Bartise is pro life - I think he's still a douche bag - and that justifies nothing.

Cole grew a lot and that I enjoyed seeing
