Okay well I watched it last night and what a treat?! I thought this reunion was hilarious
Firstly, Shake. What a knob of butter! What he means by keeping it real is that he thinks this programme is a joke. He's not serious at all,and acts as if he was one of us watching rather than himself participating. So he comes across as an asshole, and quite rightly so judging by others saying he got a nice cut. From the first episode I thought he was a total dickhead and I was shocked Deepti would've fallen for this. My jaw dropped when she said the only person he was attracted to was Vanessa ahahah. Terrible person.
Shayne. I THINK that he actually is not on drugs and he is/was in love with Natalie and he is NOT sleeping with Shaina. He is a just a cringe/awkward person. He doesn't do well with pressure and awkwardness. Watching the clips back I thought he's literally crying in his lap. I don't think it means he is on drugs. He has some anger issues though and as a couple they have a lot of issues. It was clear this is not going to work out because he needs someone who will be lovey dovey with him, tell him how amazing and hot he is all the time. Natalie is a sober headed woman that is independent and secure with herself. She's not the type to do that for him. So I don't think it's anyone's fault, they just don't work together and it's fine to admit that and move on. It's nothing bad.
Throughout this all I was actually thinking what Shake said. They are all fake as f! Especially Shaina, Mal, Jarette. They were obsessed with saying "I 100% admit that it was my fault and take full responsibility" and think this is an apology. It's pathetic how fake they are.
I don't like Mal anymore.
She was my favourite but honestly she also comes across very fake and the same tune about responsibility etc. Why they so hung up on who's responsible? This was a relationship, you fucked up together.
I feel sorry for Ilyanna because she has to compromise too much. It's not enough to say that it was an inappropriate conversation from both J and M. After one of them said their piece the other just said the exact same and suddenly everything is better
it was more than inappropriate and for me that would end this experiment if I was Ilyanna. Also I loved her short hair
And Danielle and Nick turn out to be my favourite couple! I said before that they're not gonna work but I'm impressed with both of them, especially nick going to therapy with her and fixing his issues as well. It can only be applauded. They seem to be living well together and I love that she brought out his fun side. She's a little quirky and not stuck up like the other women on there. I wish them all the best.
Someone said something interesting about marriage "I'm not saying that all the problems have to be solved before marriage, but those were too big". That made me think about my relationship.
All in all, after the episode finished, s01e01 played immediately after and I turned it off but honestly I really actually loved the first season and it was so nice to see them all in the first 20 secs.
Also that new show sounds so cringe. Is it needed? Probs not. I'm not gonna watch it. I think love is blind and love island are enough of a brain shrinker
and Iyanna needs to chill with her whole ‘no presents from exes, no friendship, no contact, don’t even breathe the same air’ shit.
