A few things from my analysis I feel I need to get ahead of lol...anyone can be hypercritcal, doesn't matter your zodiac sign, but if that's you, you need a partner who is not sensitive/not bothered by it also, I know feeling like you deserve love is about more than how you are perceived physically, but I still was surprised to hear A.D. say that she doesn't feel like she deserves to be loved and finally...there is no third thing but that's how you make lists so I tried to find something...anyway...Thanks for watching!
@@ThePleasurecode after I said this, I was thinking more earth or really any sign/person who isn’t reactive/sensitive. Bottom line, if you date Laura specifically? You gotta be…detached lol.
Don’t be like these people and rush into things at the wrong time. I appreciated all of the time that I was a single Pringle because it opened my eyes to the ways I needed to work on myself. I’m still learning even now that I’m married but that time to myself helped me more than I thought it would.
@@hellostephco84when you called germy jimmy johnny... I said hmm passive aggressive... Then the Anna's kept coming and saw no 🔚😭💀 best, most carefree review 😂
I love that you call him Jimmy Johnny 😂😂 because he’s about the blandest straight white frat guy who ever existed. Wouldn’t be surprised if his last name was Doe.
I would agree with your assessment on loving Clay’s honesty about having ego problems and fear of commitment if he was on the show “Iyanla Fix My Life”, but he’s on a show about instant marriage 😅 So instead it comes off as a warning that he hasn’t done the work, he’s not sure if he can handle what he signed up for, and he is just here for exposure. If this was a show about getting help for personality disorders, I would totally agree but he just shouldn’t have come on at all.
But what does it matter to know your problems & shortcomings when you are not williing to improve it. It seems like Clay just says these things as armor for the future " But I told you I got a ego & all the men I look up to are serial cheaters" type of energy. Run AD.
I hear that, but also. Laura came FROM that family - who she is today is in large part a reflection of who raised her, no? I can’t see myself being that way about my kid ever. I might be naive, though.
I also fell for Matthew's lies. I really thought that he was a jaded guy who managed to let down his defenses for AD. My husband was sitting across from me just listening and he immediately clocked him as inauthentic. I was shocked!
This is not the first comment I saw of a man or a husband reading the bs. It happened with me too. My dad was in the room when I watched this and he was like “he’s full of it”.
It's easy to catch the bs, because he says all these things in such a short notice. Plus, he says exactly what these women ( or any person) want to hear. It just comes off as disingenuous.
Yes as a newly 28 year old, some of us do begin to panic because of social conditioning and unfortunately our age group of men have been listening to podcasts and now think we’re too old for them all of a sudden 😂😂 we’ve had to lose our 20’s to two pandemics, the 3 year virus & the ongoing KS & podcast sons pandemic, those of us who are still single are over dating 🤷🏽♀️😂
@@suigeneris5193happy early birthday love 🎉 don’t feel panic sis I know it’s easier said than done but stressing over what you can’t control only takes away from the joy in your life & the things you can control, if you want to date, meet people in person, go to tech conferences & fairs & community events or do things you actually enjoy that allow you to meet people with similar interests, although I’m single by choice right now I’ve had a good dating life once I did those things, no bars no clubs no online dating is my advice 😊good luck ❤️
@@victoriam9242aww you’re a baby, I completely understand the feeling but trust me 25 is young 30 is young 35 is young, you probably felt this way at 18 and again at 20 when you realized you were no longer a highschooler & no longer a teen, and then again after college & now that you’re 25 it’s the end of an era but it’s the beginning of a new one, you’ll look back and realize you were a baby then & when you’re my age or older you’ll look back at 25 & realize how young you were so enjoy your life and put your best foot forward, don’t borrow grief from the future ❤ good luck 🥰
Don’t worry ladies! I am 31 and I just want you to enjoy your youth. Those men online who are socially conditioning each other are just bitter and angry that they can’t even get access to women. Don’t buy into any propaganda about any wall and just know that you are in your prime now! I look at pics of my friends and I and we look so much better now than we did at 19 and 22 and even 25. More refined, confident, better style. I’m sure you are getting finer with time as well. We don’t expire at 30 😉
I wish Kenneth would've been honest about not being into Britney instead of icing her out. I think spending time with her on vacation made him realize he wasn't that into her. On a sidenote, his conversation with AD might have given him something to think about. But if he was truly in love with Britney, he wouldn't have been that concerned. I think he was just looking for an out. He ended up looking worse than if he were honest with her.
I no longer want to hear anyone else speak on this season because you perfectly said everything. It’s so refreshing how deep your breakdowns are, while also being so simple. I hope to be so articulate one day, great video!!
You giving a lot of grace to Clay 😅Yes he was honest but he should have signed up for Dr Phil (when it was on air) over Love is Blind hun. So many red flags lol 😂😂
Steph you have been looking so polished and elegant!!! Idk if its the way you style yourself recently and your makeup or what but you look tf good!!! Enjoying this while i eat my dinner :)
I think my reaction to it is the truly unpopular one - I found it high school-y and cringe. I had second-hand embarrassment for how shallow it sounded (acknowledging that this show is way more shallow and encourages us to be, than it pretends to be). That’s my take, tho.
*"I'm leaving"* omg you 😭 complete my soul. (Don't ASK ME what my sacrifice was for..???? 🎶) I kept thinking the whole time.... Listen 👂🏽 she reminded me of the blonde that paired with Captain America last season if she was insecure but all in all.... You earned your double battle front Jimmy Johnny, go on and handle that... 🤣 Nene you will be repurposed because "you better watch THOSE" is too applicable
The Netflix casting team is so irresponsible, but they're casting for drama, not love (same goes for Married at First Sight). The odds of finding true love on a show like this are so low. 🤷🏾♀️ Also, people are saying that Trevor's pimples are roid rash from taking steroids. 👀
I get respecting Clay because he is seemingly honest about his character and personality. HOWEVER, that's still an incomplete wheel to me because knowing you're a trash person and not actively doing anything about it to be a better person to love someone in a healthy way is a huge red flag to me. I'm realizing that this is a different form of manipulation for some abusers so they get to say "well I told you who I was" because they say this while feigning regret of wrongdoing to a person. I just have follow-up questions - what are you doing to help you NOT be that person? But I get that because we barely get that from a lot of men that a man being "honest" gets given trophy points
40:23 i understand where you're coming from, but lemme tell you. I completely resonate with AD here. I was so drawn to her bc i felt like we're v similar. Both darkskin, pretty in the face, curvy in the right places, even the way we carry ourselves is quite similar... she did cheerleading, i did handball and boxing, we're both aware of what we put into our bodies because my and her sports and career depend on it (no unnecessary calories etc). *TLDR; Male attention is not an issue for us -- its the TYPE of male attention that we attract that can lead to feelings of rejection and unworthiness. Especially if the common themes of 'interest' whatever that may be mostly revolve around our natural appearance. I gave some context about my experience with this too* When it comes to male attention we don't struggle with it. In terms of pretty privilege i do feel like i've benefited from it -- i've had free drinks often, men often being very quick to help me compared to other women around me, many of them naturally start conversation with me rather than the other way around, some even have their eyebrows raised when i 'acknowledge' them as two guys put it before. I can't fully speak for her, but for me i knew It's the TYPE of male attention I tend to attract. I started feeling depressed about not being good enough for men once i've realised that I was always the 'situationship'/ FWB. They were so quick to express interest in me but at first I found it hard to differentiate between physical/sexual interest and emotional interest. 9.5 times outta 10 its sexual. Not to say that other girls don't go through the same thing, but to be constantly hearing that I'm this and that and still picked for the night and not for their lives... it hurts. I would see one of the guys that i had genuine interest in/ had talking stage with not get with me but a girl that's lighter skinned than me w none of the features he 'claimed' to be attracted to (lips, body etc). Not that its a problem she doesnt have them, more so it started to negatively affect the way i viewed myself. I knew I'm hot, i see the double take men do -- but i started feeling like I wasn't what they'd want to marry... to have on their arm if i were to bluntly put it. Because maybe I was too curvy, maybe it's because my dark skin didn't fit in the standard society has deemed that you've 'won' in the dating pool. 40:40 I know that I should go where I'm loved, that's what lead me to date my ex. Someone who was not ready for a relationship as he had his own insecurities he had to learn how to cope with them a healthy way: I wasn't physically attracted to him but his personality and it grew from there -- I wanted this because I thought my regular physical type wasn't working... I felt like I had to make this work to prove to myself it _was_ because I would always choose to talk someone based off if I found them attractive and not give them a chance if they wasn't to me. He would see how guys make eyes at me, and take it out on me. He would slowly chip and my self esteem: accusing (yes accusing) me of gaining weight when he was the same one getting mad at me for not wanting to eat a whole cake w him in one sitting or eat cereal/ pastries or biscuits all day every day or skip lectures to sleep in every day!!! When i expressed my concerns it was my fault for being too sensitive. I stayed with him a little longer, because I wanted this to work. He was taking out his insecurities on me -- I broke up with him after he crossed one of my no-compromise boundaries. So I say all that because those were some of my experiences that lead me to feel like I won't find genuine love, and at one point like AD feel like I wasn't deserving because I wasn't anyone's "ideal". I know I have to kiss a couple frogs on the way, but it really exhausting mentally and emotionally when it's the same pattern different font. It makes a process like Love is Blind very appealing to me -- to remove the physical aspect and be led by lust and filter out to the men who's intentions are most likely more pure. So yes, male attention not an issue but I can't help but wonder if I could attract guys with the mindset of building something long term and genuine if my looks were different... Regardless, I worked hard for my body, my mindset, self esteem and my career. I'll keep on developing, learning and hope that I find a man who values my worth as much as i want to treasure his.
went and watched my first season ever of LIB so that i could watch & fully appreciate your recap, and neither the series nor your assessment disappointed! girl you were spot on. i feel like the thing jimmy johnny had going for him was his deep southern accent, because oooh i can't lie - it had me going too for a moment
I think you might've found your niche Steph. Analyzing reality shows from the lense of using the zodiac to make predictions about each character. This could be really fun.
I tell her all the time she really needs to touch on this a lot deeper. Feel like I’ve been telling her this for two years. Because it’s interesting for us who know astrology that she’s connecting these points
20:28 - yeah Netflix knows what they are doing. They know these people have issues and they build that into the experience allowing the viewing audience to "discover" that their favorite cast members have "secret" fiances, etc.
Kenneth - I wanted to sit him down and give him a VERY STERN talking to about his crappy behaviour, coldness, sanctimoniousness, rudeness. Britt dodged a bullet with that man. Grow up.
liked and commented cuz you sang!!! thanks cuz this is the 3rd review of this season of the show that I have watched. I have never watched this show...any season!!!
The empathy you have for the cast is refreshing. I do see them as people that do their best but like they have cameras on them, so everything is heightened. I do think if anyone is married, it’s clay or AD, or Johnny or Ana. But I truly don’t think they should get married, they should date at least.
Yes, I'm not on the Clay hate train either. Not to sound mean, but he seems so obviously emotionally stunted, is aware of some of his issues, and I think he genuinely doesn't want to hurt AD. Will he? Almost certainly if they get married. I have a relative who had a similar experience with his father and he never wants to repeat his mistakes so he's very much a lone wolf. The last place Clay should be is Love is Blind, but I don't think he understood how serious it was until he was in it.
I’ve gotta say especially as a gym girl… you do not have to cut those carbs for that body. It’s better that you pick up extra for a shelf like that and then almost double your workouts for definition and fat burning. Contrary to popular belief. You don’t gotta starve for a body like that. You can but it’ll be more aesthetic than strength when you can get both.
30:18 I caught that from his quote a bit back... "I try to treat others the way they deserve to be treated." Very careful wording on his part, but who, in his mind, determines how someone deserves to be treated?... And what kind of treatment is deserving? Very carefully worded, worded just vaguely enough.
*Baby aspect, I get it because, I don't come from "Old Money", I come from "Broke Money". I may be a cynic but, kids do set you back financially and most of us were raised on barely there budget & that won't cut it anymore. Now, that's where my reasoning runs out, if you do not want a child you have to abstain and birth control can cause long-term fertility effects & I've seen men leave women because, they can't have a kid.*
Chealsea set her guy up by saying it loud to AD what he said about her body. That was strange so I think he felt compelled to go over to AD to talk she chose not to go over to AD with him. That whole scene was strange.
I love that you call Amy, Ana, and call Jimmy and Johnny, JimmyJohnny. I kept forgetting Amy and Johnny’s name the most of the time I watched the season, and even fast forwarded past their wedding. You and I thought a like a lot on this season. Especially about Matthew.
clay definitely didn't do right by AD but it's really refreshing to hear commentary that isn't constantly bashing every aspect of him. Understandably, I think people see him as a representation of all the shitty guys they've talked to, dated, been in a relationship with, and are talking from such visceral disgust and bitterness that some are way too quick to act like it's a bad thing or an "ick" to be vulnerable about family dynamics that have shaped his perception on relationships, and how he's a "work in progress". He should NEVER have led AD on like that and agreed to this show to begin with, but people need to reflect inwards if they really think men showing a hint of vulnerability is gross or something
Chelse does provide context around the rhetoric that us libras are the most emotional air sign. I definitely mistook her for a Pisces this entire time😅
Yes I think she’s releasing music without visuals on purpose. A lot of the holdouts with Beyoncé came on over to the hive after Beychella but people were still saying she’s a great performer more so than someone who made great music. Now she’s releasing music with no iconic video or visuals to associate with it so we are forced to acknowledge the music on its own is great. I look forward to getting some visuals again but I’m not holding my breath. I’m enjoying the music and trusting the overall vision.
Would loooooove to see and hear your thoughts on different zodiac women n men traits😂..not like an astrology expert kind of way but rather as per your personal experiences and insights...you are too good at this ❤
So jess went on podcast and explained that kenneth and brittany discussed friendship extensively and broke it off of camers but kinda had to do it again on camera for netflix. I wonder how it initially went.
A few things from my analysis I feel I need to get ahead of lol...anyone can be hypercritcal, doesn't matter your zodiac sign, but if that's you, you need a partner who is not sensitive/not bothered by it also, I know feeling like you deserve love is about more than how you are perceived physically, but I still was surprised to hear A.D. say that she doesn't feel like she deserves to be loved and finally...there is no third thing but that's how you make lists so I tried to find something...anyway...Thanks for watching!
As a Virgo though I have to say, air signs are usually horrible for our nervous systems. But yes, we can stand to watch our mouths for sure.
Exactly
@@ThePleasurecode after I said this, I was thinking more earth or really any sign/person who isn’t reactive/sensitive. Bottom line, if you date Laura specifically? You gotta be…detached lol.
Sometimes I feel bad about being single then I just put this show on and I feel 1000% better 😃
Right! I'm GOOD lol
Yall not missing nothing 😂 trust me. Enjoy your singledom

I would agree with your assessment on loving Clay’s honesty about having ego problems and fear of commitment if he was on the show “Iyanla Fix My Life”, but he’s on a show about instant marriage 😅 So instead it comes off as a warning that he hasn’t done the work, he’s not sure if he can handle what he signed up for, and he is just here for exposure.

Yes.
But what does it matter to know your problems & shortcomings when you are not williing to improve it. It seems like Clay just says these things as armor for the future " But I told you I got a ego & all the men I look up to are serial cheaters" type of energy. Run AD.
Absolutely, I think realizing your shortcomings is step one….but that doesn’t mean you’ve done the work.
Run Forrest RUN!!!
Absolutely this!
Not an epi pen, Claritin and a Benedryl 😩😂😂😂
Omg hi Roxie!!
Did anyone notice how Laura's Mum was like "I know how she is and I hate that she gets away with it" - poor lady seemed so exhausted by it all!
I hear that, but also. Laura came FROM that family - who she is today is in large part a reflection of who raised her, no?

I think you might've found your niche Steph. Analyzing reality shows from the lense of using the zodiac to make predictions about each character. This could be really fun.
I tell her all the time she really needs to touch on this a lot deeper. Feel like I’ve been telling her this for two years. Because it’s interesting for us who know astrology that she’s connecting these points
Your makeup looks great!
I keep thinking she look like Tiana. The Disney prince's eyes are everything
I love your commentary on this but I also just want to say you are STUNNING
20:28 - yeah Netflix knows what they are doing. They know these people have issues and they build that into the experience allowing the viewing audience to "discover" that their favorite cast members have "secret" fiances, etc.
Kenneth - I wanted to sit him down and give him a VERY STERN talking to about his crappy behaviour, coldness, sanctimoniousness, rudeness. Britt dodged a bullet with that man. Grow up.
Yessssss I was so waiting for your commentary!
I was debating on whether or not to watch this season, but your recaps are better 😂 just give me the highlights ❤
I don’t even watch the USA Love is Blind anymore . I come straight to RUclips to watch recaps 😅.
Exactly. Same with MAFS. I only watch the recaps/reviews on YT
The episodes after the pods are sooo boring 😴 The group meet up and the weddings are the best parts
Steph you be doing your thing with these videos. Insightful and hilarious 😂
Love is wine is in every grocery store I've been in. There's still time to get some before tomorrow airs
Thank you!!!! I hadn’t really tried lol, just discovered it on Sunday. I’ll get some tomorrow before I watch.
You're giving Clay wayyyy too much grace. He is terrible.
I binged episodes 1-9 ASAP when I saw you posted this so I could get up to speed 🥳 Excited to watch now!
liked and commented cuz you sang!!! thanks cuz this is the 3rd review of this season of the show that I have watched. I have never watched this show...any season!!!
As usual your point of view does not disappoint 😊 I really appreciate your videos ❤
The empathy you have for the cast is refreshing. I do see them as people that do their best but like they have cameras on them, so everything is heightened. I do think if anyone is married, it’s clay or AD, or Johnny or Ana. But I truly don’t think they should get married, they should date at least.
Yes!! I wanted your take on lib season 6 ever since it came out and i’m more excited about it than the show itself
😂 loved the " I would have burned the bar to the ground." So weird people are acting like that wasnt a big deal🧐.
Yes, I'm not on the Clay hate train either. Not to sound mean, but he seems so obviously emotionally stunted, is aware of some of
his issues, and I think he genuinely doesn't want to hurt AD. Will he? Almost certainly if they get married. I have a relative who had a similar experience with his father and he never wants to repeat his mistakes so he's very much a lone wolf. The last place Clay should be is Love is Blind, but I don't think he understood how serious it was until he was in it.
Finallyyyy. I been waiting on your commentary girl. And only your commentary
I’ve gotta say especially as a gym girl… you do not have to cut those carbs for that body. It’s better that you pick up extra for a shelf like that and then almost double your workouts for definition and fat burning. Contrary to popular belief. You don’t gotta starve for a body like that. You can but it’ll be more aesthetic than strength when you can get both.
Happy you did this recap because I did not have the emotional bandwidth to watch it.
Am I the only one that watched the beginning of this video 5+ so that I can giggle "I hope that you're happy with yourselves" tee hee😂
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the altar episode.
Of the many LIB reviews I’ve listened to, must say I’m very impressed with your articulate insights. Glad to have found you !
Lmao at AD and her leave out. I went to Portugal and had the same problem 😭The elements did my hair wrong.
30:18 I caught that from his quote a bit back... "I try to treat others the way they deserve to be treated." Very careful wording on his part, but who, in his mind, determines how someone deserves to be treated?... And what kind of treatment is deserving? Very carefully worded, worded just vaguely enough.
*Baby aspect, I get it because, I don't come from "Old Money", I come from "Broke Money". I may be a cynic but, kids do set you back financially and most of us were raised on barely there budget & that won't cut it anymore. Now, that's where my reasoning runs out, if you do not want a child you have to abstain and birth control can cause long-term fertility effects & I've seen men leave women because, they can't have a kid.*
33:22- OMG!! This is my first time hearing that perspective and you are SO right!
Chealsea set her guy up by saying it loud to AD what he said about her body. That was strange so I think he felt compelled to go over to AD to talk she chose not to go over to AD with him. That whole scene was strange.
I'm so glad you decided to review this season! I love your perspective on things!
I love that you call Amy, Ana, and call Jimmy and Johnny, JimmyJohnny. I kept forgetting Amy and Johnny’s name the most of the time I watched the season, and even fast forwarded past their wedding.
You and I thought a like a lot on this season. Especially about Matthew.
clay definitely didn't do right by AD but it's really refreshing to hear commentary that isn't constantly bashing every aspect of him. Understandably, I think people see him as a representation of all the shitty guys they've talked to, dated, been in a relationship with, and are talking from such visceral disgust and bitterness that some are way too quick to act like it's a bad thing or an "ick" to be vulnerable about family dynamics that have shaped his perception on relationships, and how he's a "work in progress". He should NEVER have led AD on like that and agreed to this show to begin with, but people need to reflect inwards if they really think men showing a hint of vulnerability is gross or something
Happy Pisces Season Steph 🎉
I love that you tied zodiacs in here!! So accurately displayed. Thank you for the articulate point of views.
Chelse does provide context around the rhetoric that us libras are the most emotional air sign. I definitely mistook her for a Pisces this entire time😅
Every single person on this season is clout chasing 😂
Was waiting on your commentary! commenting before I watch because i know i’ll love it.
Am I really about to watch another recap of this show.....grabs a chair and popcorn 🍿
I don't think they should cast anyone under 30 on the show. And names should not be given until they meet.
24:13 😂😂 loved your facial expression and stuttering 😂
GIRLLL the comment about bed bugs in the pods and Trevor’s rash 😭😭
Love your overall take on this season it’s crazy how things are going down but I can’t wait to hear more of your opinion on the upcoming episodes
I love your review. Can't wait to see your next recap. The last two episodes even more frustrating than the first nine.
@36:03 not me thinking you were about to say the word "blurry" 😂😂😂😂😂
Please do this again for episodes 10-11! And the next episodes coming this week!!
i LOVE how you incorporate astrology in your reviews 😊
This review made me want to to watch the season. Also Steph I love the way you explain things
I always love your reviews/ analysis’
Clay is SO honest and AD is so delusional. lol It's entertaining to see how much she just lets float by.
I'm sick to think that you had a Matt in your life! Wishing you all of the best!
Love that phrase! "Love is blind but marriage is not."
Yes I think she’s releasing music without visuals on purpose. A lot of the holdouts with Beyoncé came on over to the hive after Beychella but people were still saying she’s a great performer more so than someone who made great music. Now she’s releasing music with no iconic video or visuals to associate with it so we are forced to acknowledge the music on its own is great. I look forward to getting some visuals again but I’m not holding my breath. I’m enjoying the music and trusting the overall vision.
Yea girl!!! Everything you said about Sarah Anne 💯
Speaking of the old RHOA, I have been trying to think of who Laura reminded me of, and it's Kim Zolciak back in the day. That 49:00 mark.
This video flew by! I could have watched 3 hours of you dissecting this show lol
Would loooooove to see and hear your thoughts on different zodiac women n men traits😂..not like an astrology expert kind of way but rather as per your personal experiences and insights...you are too good at this ❤
i would love to know what kenneth's interactions were with those other sistas on the show as he obviously would prefer to be with a black woman
So jess went on podcast and explained that kenneth and brittany discussed friendship extensively and broke it off of camers but kinda had to do it again on camera for netflix. I wonder how it initially went.
I’m hollering at “ I was supposed to be by 40!” That took me out! New subbie…
I felt like the oversexualisation of AD was really stark in this season.
Loved this commentary!
