I couldn’t tell if Natalie was genuinely interested in Shane. They’re so different and Shane is kind of lot lol Also, Shaina clearly used religion as an excuse to dump Kyle and attempt to shoot her shot on Shane. Lol I would take Kyle over Shane any day.
This is a comment of appreciation for Sal, who in the middle of the madness, writes ukulele songs to his fiancee, knows to stand up for himself, remains calm in conflict, explains his point of view rationally, shows huge emotional maturity while being reassuring and understanding, does a somersault while hanging on to bars in a moving vehicle and hits all the freaking balls. Slow clap, my man, slow clap.
He’s such a keeper. Mal is fake and would leave him in a heartbeat for guys like Jarette, she was so inapprpiate for entertaining that convo with Jaret at the party. Honestly, Sal deserves better.
I’d swoop in for sure if he was single😂😂😂 don’t know why Mallory was like “something about him physically I can’t put my finger on”. Bruh, he’s soooo handsome🥰🥰
I feel bad for Deepti the most... Shake's interviews are the worst. Can't imagine watching this back and hearing my fiancé say he's struggling to be attracted to me.
Imagine they do get married (but I think Deepti says no because she doesn’t want someone who doesn’t see her value), and then realizing your husband sees you as his old middle aged aunt and is completely physically repulsed by the very thought of intimacy with you? That’s gotta HURT
@@jasonvargas7564 , she has NO idea and won't see the show until well past the end of filming. He can't help he has no physical attraction to her. I'm telling ya, it's her nose, and that's such an easy fix.
Idk like i get he's unattracted to her BUT i give him mad credit for still valuing her as a person and not turning away from and being a dick because he's not attracted to her.
I’m starting to really dislike Nick, especially in group settings. The way he stirs up drama at every group function!! Then he literally said Shaina was his pod bestie and that made everything click 💀 him saying “oh Natalie is nuts! She didn’t want to leave Shayne alone and she’s insecure as fuck” really rubbed me the wrong way.
Yeah he’s such a gossip girl but Danielle is also not good for him. She gaslights him so much and makes a fight out of everything. She constantly is looking to break up with him and pinning it all on him, as if he’s the one who’s ready to call it quits. She’s got a lot to work on herself.
I couldnt agree more. I dont watch this show, I think its lunacy that so many folks are just so desperate to get married they'd go on any program. But man, I LOVE Bachelor Fantake. Just my favorite guilty pleasure.
The way Danielle's mom was talking to her explains a bit why she feels that insecure, she was telling her that she is 'a lot', that she sabotage her relationships and when her mom did interview she mentioned she wants a guy who accepts Danielle with 'her weight' and all.. I think her mom has contributed to how she feels now.. and that's sad.
Yup!!! My fiancé doesn’t like Danielle but once I heard how her mom was speaking to and about her….I had to point that out to him. You don’t become that insecure and uncertain on your own
i am convinced that Shaina introduced Kyle to her family as a tactic to get him to break it off with her. still a mystery to me why she said yes in the first place..
Okay episodes 1-5 Shayne made me uncomfortable and I thought he was out of his mind, but now? He’s growing on me!! He’s oddly charming? I think it’s his self awareness about his own behavior like when he admits to Natalie that he knows he’s obnoxious. I’m starting to enjoy the dynamic between him and Natalie. When he said he sings Celine Dion in the shower and later told Shake to “turn off the lights and put on some Boyz II Men” I found him endearing. Don’t get me wrong though I still think he has his moments. The way he got genuinely mad about being bad at baseball at the bachelor party made me uncomfortable again. I can’t forget him still flirting with Shaina after asking Natalie to be his girlfriend, but I’m cautiously liking him.
I was about to get SO mad at him when he went to Natalie afterwards and asked her about what Shaina said, as if he was actually taking shainas words to heart and having doubts about their relationship. Thankfully he didn’t though
Yes. Shayne at first seemed like one of those wild, goofy teen boys, all football and whooping and hollering and jumping, colts that should be penned up safely somewhere before they do the females some serious harm. He seems more likable with every episode. I feel very protective of Natalie. It will break my heart if this does not work out for her.
The jury is still out on Shayne, watch the season finale preview where Natalie is crying and says she got in an argument with Shayne and he said mean things to her.
Shake honestly is so bad to me. He seems to have a complex around being Indian and worshiping whiteness and needing approval from white society. He wanted Shane so badly to back him up and say she isn't attractive. His name says that right off the bat. I have never met a brown guy who has chosen a shorten name like that who isn't whitewashed and ashamed of their culture. I think he isn't attracted to her because she isn't who he thinks white dude bros will be jealous of. Totally one of those guys who date to prove something to others. Nothing is wrong with having a preference but it it's so obvious his preference here is tied to race. Deepti is an actually stunning woman. I generally don't get his comments about her appearance when she's literally hotter than him. The comments that she reminds him of his Aunt is soooo telling. What about her is matronly? I'm pretty sure it's just the fact that she is Indian. Also of note is how he said he has dated only blondes. I get dating mostly white because as a POC who grew up around majority white people, I know that happens, but like idk his obsession with not just white but German WW2 aryan-esque features makes me uncomfortable.\ I feel so bad for Deepti he's telling everyone who will listen he isn't into her appearance, but even worse. If that was the case why squeeze her butt when they met. That was so gross and disrespectful, especially considering his tune.
@@KassandraQuiseng that’s why she mentioned how similar they were. Both born in India. Both raised here at a young age. Both exclusively dated white blond/blonde people. Both dating another Indian American for the first time right now
I've just visited the US (as a European) and was told I know less about the action of mechanism of drugs (as a pharmacist) than a life guard from the US, just because I'm not American.
Danielle might be the most sensitive, neurotic, person I've ever seen. Also Shaina is a full mess. She used religion as an excuse to dump Kyle when the reality is that she really just wanted Shayne and as soon as she saw what Kyle looked like, it was a wrap.
It's hypocritical too bc she is trying to get a man to cheat on his wife not to mention in her head while engaged she was fantasizing about being with another man. That is a sin if I've ever heard one
@@PlsWaLuigiDomMe no but it’s okay when Queen Shaina of House Streets does it because she’s the typical republican Christian conservative snowflake where other people are beneath her and she’s the only one who gets to make poor decisions and still see herself as superior
I don't think we should read anything into Danielle's actual personality from her anxiety. She just seems to be in INTENSE need of treatment for anxiety. I was just like her before I got on meds for it, and now the things I used to have panic attacks over literally are just not issues anymore. Anxiety is WILD. Big problem with it is that "danger" chemicals flood your brain at random times and then you go "well I feel like I'm scared so there must be a reason" and then you basically just pick the nearest reason "I feel scared so that must mean I'm scared my boyfriend hates me" I saw a post that says she's doing better now. :)
Just watched the episode with Shaina on the beach… wow. So gross, manipulative, and disrespectful. And she kept saying earlier, “this is about me finding MY husband. I want no regrets”. Nah. You had a chance. You don’t get to try to break up an engaged couple because you’re having regrets. Sidenote: her family are gross. “Being an American” is not a specific lifestyle, look, or set of beliefs, but I don’t think these people understand that
OMG! Yes..Shania was too BOLD and disrespectful during their conversation on the beach. And she turned everything around on Natalie. She's such a hater.
@@MsDesiree39 that was during the dating phase and he hadn't made a decision and he was interested in both. Shania applying pressure after the fact is disrespectful.
She should have sorted out the religion issue way back. It should have been one of the very first things discussed in the pods. When Kyle proposed to her, she should have said that because it was so important to her she needed to know if he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. But she did not. Shaina rejected Kyle because she was still carrying the torch for Shayne. She then tries to break up Natalie and Shayne. She is a sh*tty person.
I am very much the same. I like a more genuine approach to these dating shows, and I am pretty sure the producers look for different characteristic in their cast. Also super recommend Future Diary for anyone who hasn't watched it. That one hits you in the feels
I'm happy to see more representation of South Asian families on a show like this - out of all the families I actually really liked Deepti's & Shake's parents
Shaina really shocked me when she said to Shayne that his and Natalie's relationship is a fraud. She just dumped Kyle and she attends the get together , and does so with one intent, to truly breakup Shayne and Natalie. Shaina is do much like Season 1's Jessica She even looks like Jessica. And, Jarrett. Such a dick. Still carrying a torch for Mallory and trying to spoil it for her with Sal because of the no-gold ring. He was only joking. Yeah, sure. People like Jessica, Shaina, and Jarrett have virtually no self awareness. If they were more in touch with their dark selves, with their selfish motives, I would think better of them. Shaina is the worst I have seen so far on this series. Evil.
@@noleenanthony-bruce3502 Omggg yes why the weird ass duck lips. She looks a mess. It’s true when they say not to make a face or you’ll permanently look like that
When Shaina’s brother asked “Do you like being an American?” I was like.. uh what?? hahaha it made me cringe. “ARE YOU A TRUE PATRIOT, BROTHER?” 😂 it gave me trump supporting, “christian” vibes when honestly Shaina uses her sexuality and looks to get what she wants. She couldn’t handle rejection and when she saw her second option not as attractive as she wanted, she was out. That’s not what love is based on i.e. THIS EXPERIMENT. Also, just because someone isn’t spiritually religious doesn’t mean you can’t connect with a person spiritually. But she closed that door and honestly saved him from that judgmental woman and family.
@@christaggart5687 Nah, she spot on. Shaina exposed her racism lowkey when she failed to give Shayne any concrete answer as to why him and Natalie were incompatible during the beach get together. The righteous ain't right.
@@satelliteinc.6767 Also, when Shaina''s brother asked Kyle, “Do you like being an American?” the vibe I was getting was definitely a racist undertone. I got the sense he was low-key asking Kyle is he White.
Shaina came in with the typical conservative right wing republican trump supporter trash talk and lying and spewing fake news when she gaslighted Shane about Natalie
Actually Shayne and Natalie are probably my favourite couple, in the beginning he seemed too weird and immature but at the same time i find him charming in a way, and i think they work as a couple, i hope they make it :) as for danielle and nick, i find it very exhausting to watch them, i can't imagine being in a relationship where every little thing leads to an argument... maybe she needs to really work on her issues before she's ready for marriage
I SCREAMED when we didn’t get Nick’s answer. As an empath, I feel for Danielle. I agree she’s not ready for marriage as she needs deep, intense therapy to stop projecting on her partner. But I know if Nick says no that it’s going to throw her into a deep spiral and that’s weighing on Nick more than anything. He shouldn’t be a villain for trying to protect himself but mostly her.
I truly hope he says no, not because I don’t want them to work (they were my number 1 couple before Shane and Natalie took that spot as the episodes went by) but because Danielle desperately needs therapy to work through her anxiety and insecurities and self sabotaging tendencies. I hope he says no, and wants to instead stay engaged and get to know each other more and work on their relationship more and make it stronger before they both can say yes and mean it, rather than Danielle saying it now because of the pressure of the constraints for the show but really internally freaking out, and Nick saying no because the fights that they have are not healthy at the moment.
His facial expressions, and the amount he was sweating made it very obvious to me that he is probably going to say no. He didn’t look happy at all which is how he would look if he was stoked to be marrying her. It’s for the best though because the amount of bickering they’re doing about the dumbest shit is not a good sign for long term success. You could also tell he was very turned off by her immature lifestyle when he went to her place.
If he marries her he will regret it. Too many red flags. Her toxicity is next level and until she gets intensive therapy she will seek out the worst and bring out the worst in a mate. She's draining.
Yes! Danielle and Nick need therapy....would be great to incorporate in the show. I still think they can maybe make it. Shane has some weird macho anger issues about striking out. Maybe Natalie can balance him? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if no one gets married
i wish that we had a “hopeful” couple like lauren and cameron this season. like the drama on this season is actually pretty interesting but there is no respite from the toxicity and the dread of these relationships failing.
Agreed. I think it’s good TV and all, but I can’t see any of these couples working out in the long run. Lauren and Cameron felt very emotionally mature for this so it didn’t feel forced or problematic.
Can I say how wildly impressive it is that you put this video out a day after the release of the episodes! To watch, write, film, edit and upload within a day is a ton of work, kudos.
The whole Danielle and Nick relationship things you said: 1000% agree. All reality dating shows should have a psychological/therapy component, near the end at the very least. But I also think there should be a few on call since this is a really high stress, high emotion, high vulnerability, high chance for it being traumatic if things go badly type of situation. In terms of best practices and caring for the people you're profiting off of it makes more sense, ethically if nothing else. That's just my 2 cents.
Great recap! I am enjoying this season’s couples more than season 1. But I don’t think there will be that many actual weddings. I cannot root for Shake and Deepti because, watching this back is going to be terrible for her. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the finale ends up. Thanks for covering this show too! 👍
Love is Blind ( Insecure and Gaslit) so much insecurities and gaslighting going on this season I don’t see it for any of the couples they need therapy not marriage
I think Deep sees that shake is a POS but is trying hard to see the best in him, (which only proves how incredible she is) and that same effort or consideration isn’t being reciprocated back from shake at all. It also amazes me how superficial he is when he doest seem to hold himself to same physical standard he requires of “his women”.
Danielle is emotionally Exhausting! Nick should Run as fast as he Can! Shake(the guy from India)is Immature, he is not ready for a Real Relationship! He doesn't know the difference between Love and Lust.
Shayne actually really grew on me! He seemed like a total jerk in the first few episodes, but then became a good all who says the right things and even supports other guys and gives me legitimately good advice. I think production may have picked the worst quotes from him to support the idea that he’s “dumb”, but I think he’s just a giant goofball. There’s a short interview on the shows IG where all the couples predict who’s most likely to end up together and all of the couples agree that Shayne and Natalie are perfect for each other and more likely to get married. I think there’s so much we don’t see that the cast does, so maybe he isn’t so bad after all!
I am so scared because I relate to Danielle so hard. I feel so bad for my boyfriend, because I am a person with a lot of anxiety and I will admit, pretty needy. He however says I should tell him all my feelings, and he doesn't consider it bad that I constantly wanna be around him. But still, I just feel like I'm constantly negative and bringing him down. And I've been having a lot of health problems lately, so its just been hard.
I think the reason why they don't have a therapist on the show is so it doesn't look like Netflix is coping Married At First Sight. The hosts of MAFS are all therapists and pop in once in a while to check in on the couples. I do think a therapy session would benefit the LIB couples, but then the shows would be too similar. Both go on honeymoons, live together, and the shows end with a decision; for LIB is if theyre gonna get married and for MAFS is if they want to stay together or get a divorce. If they do get therapists, they would probably not show the actual sessions on camera but instead have the couples reflect on what happened during it
Nick is like the man of my dreams. He’s mature and calm but likes to have fun. I can imagine that he would be fun to talk too. I like to comment on my day or if we go out, talk about the night. Can’t believe how many guys I dated who acted annoyed or uninterested in just basic conversation.
Honestly Natalie and Shayne are my favorite couple. Something is so genuine about them and I think they are really an opposites attract and can work kind or situation. I really hope they work out. I really can’t see any of the other couples lasting to be completely honest, but I hope them all the best
I really want Nick and Danielle to make it, but also, I think that Danielle needs a lot of help. I know that it means to live with anxiety and also that therapy is a good thing; and when one is willing to do the work, the results are great. Nick has been so patient with her, and of what has been shown, he's the one who seeks conversation when both are calm. Also, Iyanna bringing up every time that she was the second choice, when Jarrette hasn't given her reasons to doubt him is not cool. That just makes me think that they aren't going to make it.
I agree with your take, but also would add that Nick needs some help in how he's communicating with Danielle as well. It's understandable for him to be frustrated given the insecurities Danielle is displaying but things like asking her if she's ever considered that she's not the center of the world is just not okay either.
@@olpabas you're absolutely right. It's obvious that he's not use to deal with that. If they do get married, couples therapy along with individual therapy could help them. I think that the first and last couple would be married, so let's see what happens.
I understand her having insecurities but it’s horrible how she seems to sabotage the relationship. There is no reason to start fights with Nick. She does need help.
I would love for your predictions on the finale, fantake style! Who do you think says yes? Based on sleuthing of course and outfits. There are some fake outs with timing and editing you can tell by outfits.
The only ones I feel sure of are Deepti and her fiance, and Natalie and her big bear. My favorite females are Deepti and Natalie. I am not sure of the others.
After watching the first 6 episode this is what we all needed, love the recap. It’s a nice break from watching live-streams of what’s going on in Ottawa
Shaina brother comment about loving America made me laugh but at the same time made me side eye him. Like was he being racist as he could tell Kyle is not originally from America. I don’t know Shaina family are a bit crazy so is Danielle family 😂😂
The fact that Jarret like tries to have any high ground on the Indian dude during the reunion is insane lmao like you went on live tv and told your number one choice that you picked your backup lmao
ive actually grown to love shayne and natalie a lot!! i thought shayne was such a meathead at the beginning but he turned out to be kind and loyal. his idea of the fountain to honour his dad was so sweet 🥺 i think most of the couples will fail but im rooting for shayne and natalie!!
I actually love Shane and Natalie. I hated him initially but I am actually rooting for them now. Shakes mom was amazing, I want her in my family. Danielle has major issues she needs help overcoming. She is a walking pole of insecurities. They 100% should have couples therapy as part of this experiment. They could add it as a 3rd pod so no one sees anyone.
Fantake I know there is so much time in a day, but man (if you had time), I highly recommend “90 Day Fiancé” and “Married at First Sight”. But there is only so much time in a day.
I couldn’t stand Shayna or her family and she used an excuse to dump Kyle. She wants a man who can spiritually lead her? Yeah right. Watch her get a Christian husband and he tells her to dress more modestly, see how she reacts. 🤣🤣🤣
There's no way Shayne is a Christian but Shaina would definitely marry him even though he doesn't share the same faith. But she is such a good example of Christianity. She has converted sooooo many people through the fruits of her actions. I LoVe tHat!
I think that Shayne probably is a Christian but maybe more by background/family - which maybe is good enough for Shaina which is questionable seeing as she says she "wants somebody to lead her in the faith".
I don't watch this train-wreck of a show, I only watch the RECAP because of Bachelor Fantake!!! The clip with the drag queens slurping on their straws was soooooo hilarious! B.F., I don't know how you do it but you always come up with a great RECAP! Thank you for this.
Thanks, BF for all of your great content! You are always so great with figuring out the producer's cheeky ways to create a certain story, I actually wished to hear more of that from you with Love is Blind episodes. Like, Mal seems to be edited in a weird way, as if she never actually participated in any conversation outside the pods, all we get is her face expressions, which leaves an impression of her being a bit stand-offish, yet it's obvious she must have had a looong chat with Jarrette and few long deeper conversations with Sal after that, but not on screen. The whole Shaina triangle story seems production forced as well, like there seems to be less to the story on Shayne and Natalie's part than the shows is trying to build up. And we do tend to fall for Shayne's looks, tagging him as a frat-boy, so we are more likely to fall for the idea that he would get involved in drama and be "a player", but in spite of loud personality what kind of actually frat-boy's actions do we get from him? He seems to be pretty self-aware in his intro interviews and has few good come-backs when other guys are making an offensive comment toward him. At some point Iyanna herself points out that it is actually Jarrette who is the most extrovert and loudest in a pack, yet we don't really get to see these moments...while we do get a lot of Shayne's loud laughs and jokes when being with a group...I get it's reality show but the editing this season seems very forced.
I feel that for Shake deepti being the first Indian he is dating and for being very comfortable with her (I think he never was this comfortable in previous relations) he is feeling like he's with a family (generally a female figure a aunt is other female figure other than mom u r comfortable with) so that's the reason he actually sees her as an aunt, not because he actually doesn't find her attractive because we saw him literally all over her when he first saw. The more he is comfortable the more aunty-ish feeling it's gonna be
I felt like him saying aunt might have been a dig at her age? He did mention that he liked dating younger women to a woman who was the same age as him. I’m wondering why he couldn’t say sister or cousin.
Ya it may be because of her age, but also maybe not to throw a dig at age. Unconsciously he's doing it I think. Because sometimes it actually look like he has this really wonderful connection with her and vulnerable with her but is not able to let go he is a jerk
I sincerely have not trusted Sal one bit. He was in a relationship basically but wanted to do the "experiment" (be on netflix). I think he was in the show for the wrong reasons. He is too calculated. I will keep my eye he is bound to slip up. He pulled a Jed. Musician going on a tv show while being in a relationship.
I disagree. A lot of women are insane even if you are just friends with benefits they will take it to the extreme and the show was casted a year before filming. They even told them not to stop their lives for the show.
OK …. I’m halfway thru 2 min into your recap and had to stop and praise you!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m screaming! You are fuuuunnny!! Please do recaps of other shows! You have a loyal fan in me. I’ll even start watching the bachelor to get more of your recaps 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
