I only just started watching it, but Milton saying "give me five minutes" and Lydia saying no and dragging him away? FUCKING RUN, jesus christ. demanding, controlling, abusive, disgusting.

[artemisofluna]

AND THEN THE WOMEN HAVING HER BACK OH NO I mean Uche is entire trash too but fucking hell.

OKay nah, I should have waited for the entire argument, fuck Uche too lmao. This is what I get for liveblogging.

The ONLY one I like in this entire season is Milton, and he is SO naive.

[duchello]

Yeah I'm team no one between Uche and Lydia. She was ready to get back with him day 1 in the pods and now suddenly he's a cheater that she can't trust? Like I don't like Uche at all but Lydia ain't shit to me. And she gave me weirdo vibes when she was telling Aaliyah they were exactly the same person (even before the Uche reveal) so nah I'm good on her.

This! None of these couples should get married. Last season was boring as fuck, but at least some of the couples that ended up getting married really seemed to care about each other. This time there are only two? And they are both trainwrecks? Fucking hell.

-i don't believe that Izzy's credit card debt was only $3,500 and that's why he no longer has a card. Sounds like a past bankruptcy. Plus he has a terrible poker face and looks so guilty. Redditors claim the insurance company he works for is a MLM, and to me he always seemed to be seeking a reality show career. Hence leaving a job he'd just started, and he comes across as fake.

-Izzy saying that seeing Stacy "railing on Johnie" turned him on - 🤢

-Izzy crying that he doesn't feel good enough for Stacy or w/e, hit the nail on the head of his insecurities. He's right and they're totally incompatible.

-Also lol at him crying in the closet. All machismo yelling and talking over Johnie, boasting about how happy he is he is with Stacy. Then he goes home and cries in a closet!

-Milton is too young for Lydia. Not really emotionally, but his house manners. If these things are bothering her now, it's just gonna get worse.

-I could def see Lydia being a bit of a stalker/pick me, casually dating Uche and wanting more. Watching stories of a couple

so uche didn't even apply to the show on his own, at least not traditionally. producers reached out to him on instagram asking him to be on the show/apply. its interesting that neither uche nor lydia mentioned each other in past dating history though. or they/one of them did and producers are lying about not knowing.

[sweetwaterlane]

ooh that's an interesting turn of events! Makes me wonder if he ever brought it up to Lydia and then she reached out to production, though i doubt they'd knowingly accept people who knew each other. Or how else he believes she found out.

I suspect it's because Aaliyah shared with him that she'd heard Lydia told other girls she had a feeling she'd reconnect with someone from her past. Like maybe he just heard that and ran with it that Lydia orchestrated it.

[showmesara]

I honestly don't doubt that production would knowingly accept that. Look at the drama it's created.

It is generally interesting how LydUche start off by talking so highly of each other and then it just goes down hill from there with shit talking each other.

[sweetwaterlane]

Also FYI, apparently one of the contestants not featured this season is suing the show, claiming she was sexually assaulted by her partner and falsely imprisoned by the show.

I'd make a post but I don't feel well, my stomach hurts and i need to go to bed. And i'm lazy. Will comment in the inevitable ONTD post tomorrow though.

[galactoze]

Yeah I hope someone is making a post! Apparently there were 5 couples in mexico after all!
There have been so many issues with production. This could be the downfall for kinetic.

[eaemilia]

Some of the quotes I read were so disgusting. They should have stopped everything as soon as this happened, and honestly, scraped the whole season. I hope kinetic loses.

[nudrive]

hope you feel better!

[frejasface]

Also, I think Miriam is a strange, strange person.

[wirepatch]

I agree, but I absolutely lived for her screaming at Uche and not backing down. the way he speaks to women is DIS. GUS. TENG.

[frejasface]

I hate Uche but I thought she was OTT for that. Sis wanted some screen time.

[manu19]

Has there been a post about the sexual assault claim by an unaired woman from this current season against the „fiancé“ / production company yet?
