To be honest, I am just ready for this season to be over. I am not really personally invested in any of these people. Last season, I was invested in Derek and hated Heather. I was also pulling for Nick who managed to screw things up with Sonia. But I still haven’t gotten over Neil and Sam. Neil and Sam went through a lot of ups and downs as Sam was a bit immature in the process. But at the point in the season, on their second honeymoon, I really thought they had a breakthrough and they were going to be a great couple. And then at the end, Neil who had the patience of Job all season, promptly asked for a divorce causing Sam to go outside and sob in some bushes. It was kind of heartbreaking. These people? I really don’t think I care.
Anthony and Ashley
When we left, Ashley was bossing Anthony around trying to wear the pants in the relationship. That is not going to fly with Anthony. Ashley needs to learn that Anthony is the head of the family. Period.
But, what Ashley doesn’t understand is she is the neck. The neck can turn the head in any direction. She has to just learn how to do it. Right now she is trying to turn the head the direction she wants with a baseball bat. She needs to be more subtle and calm. Instead, she is not being the neck, she’s just a pain in the neck. Also, she needs to learn to cook and stop ordering takeout for every little thing or expecting Anthony to cook every meal and do all the other things she wants done immediately.
These two are going to Starved Rock Park for a camping trip. Was it me or did they seem a bit disconnected in the car ride? They are not allowed to play music, so that makes the trip very long. Anthony is texting while driving! Ashley can’t seem to keep her enthusiasm up about her marriage in her talking heads. She sounds more fake every week.
Speaking of heads, there are a lot of taxidermied heads on the wall. A LOT. Like several dozen. That doesn’t include the full-sized animals. They seem to have a great time hiking through streams and climbing trees. I totally expected Ashley balk about the camping trip. Ashley is making it clear that she planning for their future and she has no doubts. Anthony on the other hand feels like he has made most of the compromises and is less sure of the future. When Anthony asks Ashley what she is looking forward to next week, she says moving into their new place. I’m pretty sure the correct answer was “starting the next chapter of our lives without all the cameras.”
Cody and Danielle
Danielle has just now realized that Cody doesn’t trust her. While I get he pulled away from her in the beginning and that freaked her out, her not coming back toward him in any intimate way freaked him out. Cody has made it clear, two months without sex is not something he deals with easily. Danielle just wants him to shut up about it.
Cody and Danielle are going to Milwaukee. They seemed to have great conversation in the car. They seem more like friends (which is their issue) than Ashley and Anthony do. Milwaukee seems cool. I do not know how many more times I can listen to them talk about not having sex.
Production sends them to a brewery to see if getting them drunk will get them in bed. It did not. Cody tries a long walk by the lake. Nada. Danielle tries to prod him for his decision, she asks him what he thinks about the whole marriage thing. He says he thought there would be sex, basically. This pisses her off. Then don’t ask him Danielle. It’s obvious that the two of you are in the friend zone and you are fine with that and he isn’t. You can’t keep getting mad at him for his feelings. Cody has said he is out unless there was more intimacy in the relationship.
Nate and Sheila
Sheila is a bitch. That’s just the bottom line. I don’t know why Nate even bothers with her. She has the most awful things to Nate and he continues to forgive her. After several days and Nate’s 9,345th apology, Sheila finally accepts his apology. Then she finally apologizes to him and says she wants to be a better person and a better wife. Because they are so religious, I was really expecting to hear The Lord’s Prayer out of these two “…forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us…” Wow, here apology got really good. She humbled herself, admitted she was wrong, told him that she wants to be with him forever. That’s the Sheila that needs to stay present. It was a sweet make up. I’m hopeful for them again.
At their romantic dinner, disharmony is simmering again. Nate is having second thoughts.
Next Week: It’s decision day. Who do you think will stay together?
D&C: I fast forward their scenes. It’s not worth my time.
S&N: What did Nate say? Regardless the “I’m not doing this with you” every other episode is too much. They will stay together in the end because Sheila knows no one else will put up with her.
A&A: They are cute. I give them 2 years before Ashley is pregnant.
I think Nate said something along the lines of no wonder your ex boyfriend screamed at/abused/left you. You are impossible to deal with.
When she repeatedly called him a little bitch he said he had never called her out of her name. And it was something to do with her exboyfriend. She feels like she was victimized by him. I’m gonna guess he has another take on that.
I agree, I was watching wondering how many more seasons of this are possible. It has exceeded the reality show lifespan, since Sheila refused to be authentic on camera, and got away with it. The Boston season will know they are able to do what they want. I know the Nate/Sheila outcome, but due to editing the other couples, who knows. I’m hoping that next episode is actually the end. The six month check up is always good.
I feel bad for all 3 guys on this show, I can’t stand any of them women. Cody deserves better, maybe if Heather offered up her “golden clam” he’d be more assertive.
Ashley should be grateful to have Anthony. He seems like a great guy to me.
Sheila has no concept of how to work out small issues–she turns them into major fights by saying awful things to Nate, and then gets all bent out of shape when he says one not-nice thing to her. Look at what she has said to him!
Danielle wants a macho guy, and Cody is not that. I blame the “experts” for this mismatch.
The track record for the overall series is terrible.
Sheila is spoiled and probably has borderline personality disorder. Nate deserves better. I agree zero chemistry between Cody and Danielle. I think Anthony is adorable. I wish Ashley would be more real with him. I too am sick of the repeated scenes over and over again. I wish they would go ahead and get to the end.
Jumping Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, Sheila is awful!!!! Nate needs to bust out a giant vibrator and give her a massive orgasm! She is dreadful!
Ashley is so paranoid about EVERYTHING!!! She needs to tell Anthony she loves him, but she is waiting for him to say it first. (She might also kindly mention that his Brill Cream hairdo is terrible! I know that’s bitchy, but it is not a good look.) Ashley is very entitled and is blowing her chance of him wanting to remain married to her.
Danielle is bland and appears to be phoning it in. She needs to admit that Cody is not her idea of a husband. Cody deserves so much better! I’m sorry to pick on the women, but all three guys seem pretty decent and all are trying very hard to make their marriages work, but the women are all bad wives.
Last season two of the guys were dicks and the women really tried to make it work. I won’t even start with the infamous bitchface Heather…ugh!!
I liked Heather from last season. She got the bitch/villain edit because she refused to stay with a druggie who takes paraphernalia with them on the plane. After Derek smoking everyday of the honeymoon then finding out he brought and took a vap with him on the plane, she was done. If he was caught, she could have lost her job. Production wanted to rug sweep it all so she got to divorce him on the show but the consequence was the villain edit.
Derek knew he was going to get a good edit and decided to bash Heather every chance he got.
I musta missed that with Derek…drugs?
I would like to ask you a question. Why do you find it necessary to use Jesus name in vain like a curse word? He is my Lord and Savior and it is very offensive. I agree with everything else you said in your post. Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Audrey
Jesus Christ, woman! Get a grip!
TT have you been married before? As a newlywed that was right on time. “The neck can turn the head in any direction.” PREACH!
Jennifer V is right. Get Sheila a vibrator and an orgasm stat! She had to be raised to not accept responsibility. Blame everyone else Sheila. It always works. So immature. I was wrong about Nate. He is a nice guy.
I’m pulling for no one. This show was a favorite. Hopefully next season will bring some winners.
I was also wrong about Nate. Sheila is a dragon. They’ll stay together on decision day, but probably split later.
Cody and Danielle will (should definitely) split on decision day.
Ashley and Anthony will stay together. Anthony’s true colors will show later on. Ashley will lose herself in the relationship – and not in a good way.
Never been married. None of the marriages in my family made it look fun. Came close a couple of times but that whole til death do us part didn’t seem like such a good idea at the time. lol.
I might consider it now as my time of death looms closer. Especially if someone with good insurance asked.
Cody is a dumbass. He speaks like he never graduated high school (me and Danielle…), he has atrocious table manners, and he’s obsessed with sex. He’s a lousy dresser, too. I keep wondering if he’ll go back home and live with mommy when Danielle asks for a divorce.
Shiela is crazy. No wonder a pretty woman like her was single. Nate is a cool guy, and he’ll have a long line a women from which to choose after dumping Shiela.
I like Anthony and Ashley. They’ll calm down in time. One thing that could push Anthony away is Ashley’s sister.
By the way, Rachel DeAlto is ultra annoying. She has vocal fry, dresses terribly, and brings little to the show. Dump her fat ass.
I have been watching Big Brother 24/7 and there is a guy on there named Cody. So I began reading this trying to wonder why I didn’t know that Cody had a wife named Danielle. These two are so forgettable it wasn’t until I looked at the post title I realized who you were talking about.
lol they are forgettable
“The neck can turn the head in any directions,” I love the quote from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” This quote is so true it is all about how you do it. A & A Anthony and Ashley have great potential but both need to learn how to express their emotions to one another. Ashley also needs to let her sister be her sister and continue to put Anthony first, I see their downfall is Ashley putting her sister above her husband. As long as they continue to keep one another first and express open and honestly how they feel about one another I think they will be all good. I also agree Ashley you do need to make an initiative to learn to cook just so she could surprise her honey every once in awhile. I think they will stay together on decision day.
N&S Nate appears to be a good guy but due to the editing and Shelia not wanting them to fight and problem solve on t.v. we as audiences viewers will never truly know the depth of crudeness that was said nor what actually said. From what we could view Sheila has a foul and very disrespecting manner to stonewall her husband during an argument. Sheila automatically shuts down and that is not fair, give one another space and come back to reconvene. Marriage is hard work and there will be disagreements but learn how to argue fair. Words cannot be taking back and when we forgive we have to never bring it up gain. If one is not able to move on or move past then you need to be fair to the other person and move on. I don’t think Sheila is mature enough to be married because at the first sign of trouble she is ready to run off. I also thinks here in lies the problem of why Sheila cannot have an orgasm, she is not willing to relax, trust nor give up control in the moment. I don’t see this couple working out unless they get some serious counseling and learn to fight fair, because the problems are not going to go away when the cameras leave they are only going to get worse. I think on decision day they will stay together.
C&D I knew this was not made for a match made in heaven the age gap is way to big and Cody is just not mature enough for Danielle. Danielle seemed to be extremely turned off after the honeymoon when Cody shared he wanted them to slow down and since then Danielle has held this against him since. Cody also never stepped and made the move himself, instead he whined about not having sex ever 90 seconds and that was a huge turnoff. Please put one another out of misery and move on decision day cause clearly Danielle you do not respect this man.
I really hope I’m not breaking the comment rules, and I’m sorry if I am. TT, have you seen David Norton’s twitter? It appears he’s dating/possibly engaged to some reality show contestant who was on “I Wanna Marry Harry.” And the real kicker? They’ve been together since April 2016!
Wow. I will check into that in a bit. Thanks.
Sheila can yell, scream and be foul with Nate but he can’t with her? She thinks she is mature but is very immature. I think they will stay but divorce later. Ashley is also immature and very entitled but I think ultimately Anthony will stick with her even though the family issues are a wedge. Danielle and Cody are a broken record. I’m not there yet. We haven’t had sex. I can’t believe he brought that up. I’m out if we don’t have sex soon.
