What's Anya Screen, Friends?
Today, I will be breaking down Love is Blind: After the Altar for season 3. I will be reviewing what's going on with each couple whether they're together or not. From Cole and Zainab to Raven and SK there is a ton to talk about with these couples. Since I never made a video for Brennan and Alexa, I will share my thoughts about their relationship and specifically their communication. I will look for any signs of psychological or emotional abuse that many of us were concerned about with one of the couples. And let's see what Bartise and Nancy are up to. What are your thoughts on where these couples are and how do you feel about "After the Altar" as a concept?

I felt like Colleen was in love with everyone. Everyone was "THE ONE". And her facial expressions say something different. She doesn't really look happy.

@sasamafrass Год назад

She has said she is uncomfortable in front of the camera after seeing the backlash to their season and that's why she looks so scared and uncomfortable. That being said Matt and Colleen don't really seem like they like each other very much. Like maybe it's a sunk cost fallacy and they feel like they have to keep going. I definitely support them not living together and keeping their finances separate until they are 100% sure if they want to stay married or not.

@carinekaraki3735 Год назад

My problem is that it’s okay to have disagreements in a relationship but it seems they disagree on FUNDAMENTAL things like buying a house/pets/location/timelines which is why everyone is saying it won’t work out. They’re in the dating stage discussing life decisions so love might not be enough

@jamie6008 Год назад

I thought she was acting for most of the time. It seemed so forced and contrived. But the fact that she seems to still be with Matt obviously makes me think I’m wrong about that now. I guess that’s just what a superficial relationship sounds like idk

@steffnic13 Год назад

As someone with CPTSD, I have been Zae and I have blamed others for stuff that I fully created. I feel badly for Cole. He wasn’t perfect but he does not deserve the nonsense being tossed his way. And for Brennan to be such a clown to him is honestly pathetic. He needs to man up. He’s being eaten alive by his lady.

It’s so irritating to me to see Zae saying that she has healed and yet seeing her throw Cole under the bus for his wrong doings and the things she just perceived were his wrongdoings without accepting ANY responsibility for the toxic things she did. And to see the whole friend group side with her and target Cole…so cringey. I don’t think a single one took the time to hear Cole’s side. I do appreciate your point of view and love to watch your reviews on the show!

Brennon is directing all his accumulated anger to others people business. The way he pressed his lips together when Alexas dad was mocking him woooow.

@brielax4441 Год назад

@andaredvex Год назад

I think that's spot on. He has so much pent up anger from being oppressed by Alexa and her family that he finds other ways to release it. They always seem to be stomping on his manhood so he has to act dominant in other situations. Unfortunately he chooses to target Cole the most, trying to collect some brownie points for acting as his wife's whip. It's kind of sad to be honest.

@steffnic13 Год назад

That father in law and his BDE and his comment about the box 🧐🤦🏼‍♀️ and his wife the same age as his daughters and Alexa’s quasi BDE that she got from him is all rather interesting. And it’s exactly right that Brennon will then seek to dominate the more submissive. My dog literally does this at the park when she is being bullied. They pass it down the line.

He's annoying. I liked them at first but now they are acting holier than though. I guess they are just going of what Zay said so he sounded horrible but would love to know their reaction after the cuties scene. Supposedly this was filmed before the reunion which is stupid but also is weird since Cole is talking about cuties in one scene. Even at the reunion Cole told him did you see me getting girls numbers and he couldn't answer cuz he left so what is his weird beef. Lol. Brennon was also charged with domestic assault on an ex gf so I don't think he is great either.

@bubblegumm8114 Год назад

Imagine telling a literal therapist she’s using “gaslighting” wrong lmao people are wild

@SomeSortaBliss 6 месяцев назад

Well, to be fair, the term didn’t originate in the psychology/therapy community, and it had a distinct colloquial meaning that became fuzzy after it become popularized. For those who understand the term in it’s original form before it became popular, yeah she is using it wrong. Language and meanings of words are fluid. ‘Gaslight’ has come to mean something a tad different than the original meaning that came from the play of the same title, so sure by this standard she is using it correctly. Some people are still catching up, releasing their previous understanding of the former less subjective definition, and adapting to how society currently uses it. Also sounds like you’re implying that a therapist cannot use a term incorrectly…. Edit: I will be silent now, I see what I misunderstood. Minus the last point. I don't think it should be assumed someone is 100% correct and unquestionable solely because of their title. Remember the medical community once shunned the man who suggested the existence of germs.

@terrijones693 Год назад

I think that the parents probably observe Brennan compromising or yielding to Alexa & they’re trying to encourage him to advocate for himself. I don’t think it’s just about gender roles, I think they see that Alexa is probably dominating the decision making in a way that’s dismissive of Brennan. Bc he seems to be a pushover…

@bluedancelilly Год назад

100% yes. She dominates and controls their decisions. He does everything for her and she seems to do nothing for him. The dad shouldn't have said that, but he does have a point. Anyone watching them can see it. Its not about patriarchy, but about equality in a marriage.

Cole may be unpolished and sloppy at times with his words, but from my perspective he seems to have a good heart, whereas Zae (sp) comes across cold, rigid and dismissive. It bothers me too that Cole is bullied and that the women are so caddy and "mean girlish" toward him. I don't think Cole would be able to do anything right in this relationship. I hope Cole does not fall back into this relationship, he has a lot to offer to someone who sees his good qualities.

@skyewagner1874 Год назад

I appreciate all of this. What you’re saying about Zay and Cole particularly stands out to me. I feel really bad for Cole. I feel like all the girls just attack him and then all the guys do the same thing. I have not once seen anyone on the show honestly empathize with him or have interest in his truth and his perspective and feelings. I feel like Zay thinks she’s contributing to women’s empowerment by “standing up for herself” but in actuality she’s creating soooo much drama. I would literally not be able to be friends with someone like her. I hope Cole gets some public recognition for his side of the story. I’d love to see more of that from the people on the actual show itself but that’s probably too much to ask.

@Lifelessons101-23 Год назад

Cole will have peace and a good women because that’s who he is. Zay will not because that’s isn’t who she is… _______ place any man on that blank and she will do or has already done the same to another man. Once women create an alter reality of truth they will almost never go back on their words for the sake of not being embarrassed and of course deep rooted insecurities. Any woman who is emotionally stable and has a right state of mind knows Cole is harmless. He is just learning with age and experience as every human being. And if that isn’t enough for women to understand then point fingers at the woman who raised him. Women are the biggest influences in children’s lives.

Re: what you say about Cole, I think it's really interesting viewing it as reality TV as well as actual people. There always needs to be a "villian" of the season and the producers will never allow it to be someone from a "successful" couple. (The edit went very easy on Amber in S1 for example). Doing that big alter speech, Zay gave the producers of the show a great opening to make Cole the "villain" of the season, because they don't want to focus on, for example, Matt's anger issues. I wouldn't be surprised if the others were prompted to talk badly of Cole during this filming.

@kaimcdragonfist4803 Год назад

That would make sense as to why he got dragged so badly at the reunion special, too. Like he said some dumb stuff, for sure, but Zay and the girls ganging up on him is so scummy, and the fact that nobody is taking his side is just depressing

Edit: Re: Brennan and Alexa, I think that they are one of these couples with similar opinions about things and being together, they empower one another. Just because Brennan is quieter, that doesn't mean he doesn't have hot takes. Maybe he just didn't have the comfort airing his opinions until being with a more outspoken person rubbed off on him. I don't interpret that as him not having his own thoughts and opinions. But I could be wrong.

@MaryJoHeadrick Год назад

I've seen a couple interviews with the girls after seeing the cuties incident and from what i remember, Alexa and colleen both said that they heard and saw things Cole said to Zay that they were not okay with and that the cuties incident was basically irrelevant to them. I also watched a reaction video from Pyschologyy in Seattle where he basically said that what Zanab said happened was how she interpretted Cole's comments/the situation. She wasn't necessarily lying, and she probably saw the recap and still felt that he'd attacked her body because that's her trigger. idk I think Zay was extremely triggered by Cole and he got on my last nerve. If you do ever decide to do a video on Brenan and Alexa I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on his DV accusations.

@Molly-iw1rc Год назад

I like this take, I don't think Zanab is purposefully being a bully to Cole, and I don't think everyone is blindly following her, I think they meant it when they said they heard him say things that were suspicious and that influenced their view of him. I don't think dog piling him so often is helpful, but I think Zanab is hurt by something and I don't think calling her crazy or a bully is helping her or Cole.

@MaryJoHeadrick Год назад

@@Molly-iw1rc Agree, I definitely think the cast didn't/doesn't handle the cole conflict the best, and I don't think he intentionally did anything awful. I still hate his interviews where he says shit about "women these days" and feminism and how girls are like x while guys are like y and his overall super sexist attitude. I know other people are like that too, but imo that doesn't make anything better.

@sashar.3223 Год назад

I think Brennan is remembering what Cole said about Z behind her back to the guys in the beginning. Not what the cuties scene showed. Cole also told Z that he didn't find her as attractive as Colleen. All of those things happened early in the relationship, so it's possible that Z was holding that in and blew up inappropriately later down the line, as well as exaggerated future things that happened in her relationship with Cole. Cole isn't innocent, and Z isn't innocent. They both bullied each other

@amxxbln Год назад

Not a fan of how many in the comments portray Brennan as the poor one suffering „under“ Alexa - I feel like this really wouldn’t be such an issue if Alexa was the guy and Brennan the girl. Putting the perspective just on the dynamic of the two, I think they are working out really well - I rather see some outside pressure making Brennan feel small in his position which then leads to unproductive outlets. I still think it’s quite unfair and low-key misogynist to blame this on Alexa.

Hello Steph Anya, love your insight and always look forward to your videos ❤ Just wondering, when you say that you need evidence, even from a friend, would that be context specific or is that in every case? For instance, you have a friend who has a tendency to exaggerate, so you might need to ask for more clarity and/or information whereas you might not need to fact check the friend who is typically more nuanced and fair in their takes?

@Self-helper415 Год назад

I have not watched this season of this show. I did watch the very 1st season. I do agree with the none judgmental stance on how couples chose to “do” their marriage, everyone has a reason they decide and if it works for them they can also decide that they don’t have to explain it to anyone either 🤭. People tend to project their own views onto others and that is often problematic and even more problematic if one doesn’t know who they are ❤

@MoriFlores 4 месяца назад

I arrived late to the party. I think every group will always try and find a scapegoat or someone to be the "villain" so they kinda bond over that. I think every season I've watched has had one. They all have been awful people, but in this season nobody was really "evil" like that... so they all subconsciously exaggerated his mistakes to make him the villain. Also I think Brennon has zero personality, he had no reason to be mean to Cole. And something I've liked a lot throughout the seasons is that all men supported each other despite their mistakes (except for Shake, obviously) I hate how they all turned their back at Cole and he left without girlfriend or friends 🥺🥺🥺

@Jovrjo Год назад

To me the demand for "proof" and insisting on needing it in order to believe someone is very toxic in terms of abusive behaviour, especially in relationship when a lot of times there will be no "proof". (Also, the cuties clip did not falsify anything in my eyes, which shows that solid proof will be hard to come by in situations like these)

@talkswithtaylor5345 Год назад

I mean we can’t just go around believe everything someone says if the story isn’t matching up or seems off. Evidence is very important in showing the truth otherwise it’s just hearsay. That is why it is important in relationships where someone is being gaslight, to write things down and take note of what the gaslighter is saying and doing so you can see a pattern of abuse.

@jeans0130 Год назад

What kind of logic is that? Scientific and logical thinking should be evidence based. Anyone can say they've been abused and if they were in this day and age, there would be proof. It's not like 20 years ago that we have to rely on just someone's memory, which time and time again, is proven to be false and biased.
