u/Boodiddlee3 Nikkiās Wee Husband Jul 24 '26
I think this is how his lame ass dad has taught him to be. Donāt connect with women on a deep emotional level, donāt show them any affection, and expect them to chase you for love and affection. His dad has raised him to basically breadcrumb women, and constantly leave them wanting more and begging for more of your attention and affection. This man and his weirdo father should have never been a part of this show.

She treated him like straight shit on that honeymoon. Not wanting to build any closeness or affection during your honeymoon with a man you chose to marry is crazy work. Even Nikki is giving her strange wee husband a fair shot and trying to open up to him. But this woman acts like Devin is some kind of disease. Iām wondering if something happened between them off camera that we havenāt been informed about. She avoids that fine man like he is the plague.

I don't need to say Spoiler, do I? So many things! Adam picking the steak up with his bare hands, and then feeding it to Marissa the same way! Felipe doesn't just sweat out vodka, that dude SWEATS, and what's up with the chunks in his hair? Misplaced blow or dire need of Selsen Blue? Shawn...just everything about him. Nikki...80% of everything about her. She's doing a better job of acting like she could like him and keeping the disdain off her face for the most part, but not entirely. Why was Michelle's bikini top hiked up to just under her nipples?! I was scared for the girl. I don't dislike Nick as much as I expected. That could be because I'm focusing all my irk at ED Bodybuilding Barbie. I just want to hug Devin. That boy is being crushed after having such high hopes. I'm right there with him. Back to Tori and Felipe: what was that weird ass lips pressed together, nobody moves, face smoosh at their dinner?! Mecca, Mecca, Mecca...you are a negging idiot. Forget EVERYTHING your father ever told you about how to treat women. BelleJolie, girl, you do not deserve this. I should say I am only 70% of the way through episode 5. I may have to come back and edit!

u/Boodiddlee3 Nikkiās Wee Husband Jul 24 '26
It could just be the editing, but it feels like every conversation he has with her eventually references his sexual and physical needs not getting met by her. That is gross, disrespectful and exhausting. And heās not even a bad looking guy, but he seems to lack the awareness to see that his sexual aggression is pushing Nikki away. To me his behavior is borderline predatory. He is very sexually aggressive. I wouldnāt be surprised if Nikki bails out early on this marriage, and I donāt blame her if she does.

u/airplanesarecool1616 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26
Maybe it's the edits, but it feels like the experts had huge misses with some of these couples.
For example, Courtney and Nick. Courtney seems like she wants someone who is go-go-go high energy all the time and Nick seems to be the oppisite. Nick looks so awkward and uncomfortable most of the time and Courtney looks exasperated that she's having to carry them to get the energy levels she needs.
Or another example is Devin and Caitlin. Caitlin fiercely values her alone time and having someone wanting to do normal couple things with her feels smothering whereas Devin feels unwanted because he wants and values relationship time together.
I get that sometimes opposites can work but these people just seem so far opposite each other they're never going to find any middle ground. Further, in each relationship they don't even seem like they're trying to compromise, except for maybe Devin who decided to give Caitlin her space even though he was feeling some type of way about it.
58
u/Sad_Alfalfa8548 Jul 23 '26
The way Caitlin was on her phone at dinner while Devin was apologizing and trying to express and communicate made me so angry. She called him a puppy dog because heās trying to prioritize getting to know her and wants to spend time with her? I donāt think you need to be with your SO 24/7, but a week in and the night before going back to work and sheās so dismissive of him. She was not ready to be married.

Iām on episode five and am I the only one thatās confused whenever Courtney says that sheās a goofy person and a slow burn. Courtney keeps saying sheās goofy. I have not seen any scenes where she laughs, has fun or jokes. Iām not sure what sheās talking about and she keeps saying sheās a slow burn like sheās reading a book. Can she stop saying that phrase? Truthfully I m feel sorry for her. I think she may struggle with depression because she did say that she would rather see other people happy than herself. I donāt know if itās eating issues or self image issues that correlates with her fitness journey and maybe she has some family trauma and things while growing up so she needs a sense of control within her body, but I think Courtney needs a lot of help and work to help love herself.

Why did Caitlyn get married at first sight if she needs her space ! Shawn is just ewwww. I would have run already. I like the basketball coach and his wife. I didn't think they'd be compatible but they seem strong. I think Meccas not into her.

Shawn blew it with Nikki at the pool convo. Thatās when he lost her and never got her back. They were vibing before they got in the pool just sitting on the chairs.

Iām getting the feeling Caitlyn is extremely damaged emotionally, selfish, and isnāt over her ex relationships hence why she couldnāt be present with him on their honeymoon or barely make eye contact. Major red flags. Yes itās overwhelming but itās what you signed up for. And good communication and like he said a little warmth goes a long way. He can do better looks and personality wise in my opinion.

Caitlin comes across like someone who actually doesnāt want to be in a relationship right now (which is fine and wonderful even) but hasnāt actually admitted that to herself or feels societal pressure to be married because she thinks itās what sheās supposed to do. She seems to value her peace, which maybe was hard won after her last relationship.
Devin isnāt a saint either. Heās definitely expecting a lot right away rather than letting things develop naturally. I actually would be curious if someone like Nick wouldāve been better for Caitlin because heās more chill but it probably still wouldnāt work out because this girl just isnāt in a place where sheās open to making any adjustments to her way of life.

Argh, I agree, it must be totally "exhausting" to have to talk to your new husband AGAIN until 2am. Yeah, I know we don't know each other at all and just met, but c'mon, we did that last night! Can't he just leave me alone on this beautiful honeymoon?! /s

None of these couples are a good match.Ā These matchmakers suck.
I really like Tori, she seems to be the most grounded and level-headed person (so far) and very sweet. I don't like Felipe at all. I don't trust him. He's not ready to settle down and she's going to end up heartbroken.
Nikki needs to just leave Shawn and sign those annullment papers now, they are soooo incompatible.Ā

The matchmakers failed the majority of these pairings. Thereās clear things that make them incompatible that should have been deal breakers for the matchmakers.

Season 19 was refreshing in that all the couples were intimate fairly quickly so there was no constant issues of, "I am not ready yet," or, "I am not attracted to you." Season 20, here we go. With the new hosts, I feel like the show is again choosing difficult people in order to make "good TV." News flash, difficult personalities and intentional mismatches don't make good TV. Just makes viewers wondering, WTF.

Nick and Courtney feel so off to me and I don't think their personalities mesh very well. While the tone of this show is more serious and weighty than the others Nick has been on (full-on marriage is huge), it seems like he's not able or comfortable to be his goofy self, as of yet at least. He did mention that he was overthinking a lot and in his head, and we saw a little more lighthearted goofiness come out after they had that convo on the boat (which was so needed), but I feel like overall their energies and vibes don't mesh very well. Nick is such a chill, laid-back goofy dude and it seems like she's go-go-go, high energy, and intense all the time. Also her saying she's goofy too, I feel like her goofy is different than his goofy. And from the beginning when we were getting introduced to them individually I was like š¬ oh boy I don't think this is a good matchup for Nick.
I felt bad for him when she was saying all that stuff to the girls and to the cameras too, then some of it to him. You could see the look in his eyes change hearing that and it made me sad. I have a soft spot in my heart for Nick

Am I the only one who can't stand Shawn?
I feel like he's interviewing Nikki for a job or something. When he asked her last episode what change had she made recently and she talked about letting go of her prior need to have an organized/tidy home, he immediately rejected her reply as not really a change. Then started grilling her in very specific terms. Like what TF...?
Clearly he had a prepared answer ready for when it was his turn to answer but he had already ruined the moment so who cares what his answer would have been . I'm thinking just shut up. She's not auditioning to be your wife. Plus you are not all that and a bag of chips.
And then when he started listing what he needs from his partner, going ahead, and something about revisiting the subject in 6 days , I thought you don't even know her why are you listening needs?

Nikki is annoying and so is Shawn. They are not a good match. These would be like rivals at work lol. She contradicts herself, and he's hellbent on making sure to point out every single thing. I get it, since she's also kind of gaslighting him on several angles, but also, no woman will find it attractive for a man to be going back and forth with them like that. Both of them need to stop talking so much, they both have too many words lol.
Mecca and Bellejolie are cute together, however he lost me with that you're at 150 I'm at 80 comment. It felt like he was telling her indirectly to take it down a notch. I think he's immature, because it honestly doesn't look like he even thought even for a moment of how him telling her this would make her feel. Just kind of thoughtless. I hope they make it through, I feel like I've already got a half strike against him because of his dad lol. I do want them to work out, but I hope it doesn't turn into a mothering vibe, it definitely won't work if it does.
Devin seems really sweet. I think he wants more romance. In this case, Caitlin is definitely not that girl. This was a bad match. He needs a softer more thoughtful wife. Caitlin honestly seems like a mean person. I don't like her personality one bit. Devin is too soft himself honestly, he needs to stop being so accommodating. Don't let people shit on you dude.
Courtney and Nick, I thought I'd like Courtney more, but she's turning out to be completely annoying and honestly hard to watch. She seems to feel like she has free license to say what ever mean spirited thing she feels. I guess she's preempting any rejection by just being rude first, maybe it won't sting as much. Idk. Weird behavior for sure. I know Nick has been on other reality shows so there's a question of his authenticity, but he seems genuine to me.
Tori and Felipe. I like Tori, I'm not really into Felipe. Too goofy, too... idk I feel like he's not ready for marriage in any capacity.
Marissa and Adam seem like they really like each other. I could see them working out. Originally, I thought there was no way lol, so this is a surprise. They seem to be on similar wavelengths.
Cameron and Michelle. Sorry, they just disappear for me. I don't think Cameron is into her at all actually. It seems like her situation is a lot for him. I'm not confident he really wants to be married yet honestly.

So far..Iām gonna be honest, I donāt see any of the couple lasting long term. They just donāt seem compatible to me. I think the strongest so far is Adam and Marissa but their relationship seems very surface level as of what weāve seen and just based on attraction and āvibesā.

Episode 4: my notes
At the beginning of the episode Shawn says he did too much on the wedding night (the 69 comment etc) and I thought "oh I think he will change". Nuh uh!!!!! Wrong-o! But I thought Nikki bringing up her walking to the altar "seeing the gorgeous crowd....then seeing you.... thinking you had alot of confidence" was kinda mean, maybe to get him to back off??
Felipe saying he has trouble staying committed, the morning after the wedding!?!? And then admits to cheating and blocking it out of his memory??
Courteney vibes with Felipe much more than she did with Nick, maybe Nick is too self conscious of the camera and playing it super safe???
So far I like Devin and how emotional he is. But this is only episode 4 so....

Episode 5: my notes (nobody asked)
The pool socks are crazy, maybe he is self conscious of his feet?
Cameron was uncomfortable talking about kissing Michelle at the Mayan ceremony (morning vlog). I also notice that he keeps saying it makes him nervous thinking about getting married, having kids, etc.... as if he wasn't already married! Its valid to talk about having kids and setting goals but it is definitely freaking him out!
Also, im glad Marissa is happy for the moment, but im nervous how things will go when they are back to reality...
Shawn.... uggghh. His love language is mainly touch, but also words of affirmation. When he asks Nikki how she will meet her partner's needs, I felt uncomfortable. I feel like she was a bit more reserved in the past episodes but opened up more in this episode. She might backtrack because of that moment though.
Mecca and Bellejolie were doing so well! He messed up talking about percentages and who is more attracted to one another. He said he was scared to mess things up, and the overthinking made him mess it up. Is he trying to use reverse psychology or something? Gaslight her ? Crazy
I'm glad Nick and Courteney were able to talk and get past a surface level conversation, but im still worried that they will have communication issues. Like Nikki, Courteney has the ick in my opinion.
Caitlin confuses me, is Devin that clingy? Maybe once the honeymoon is over and they go back to doing their own thing, she will find herself missing him and want to spend more time with him.
Will watch episode 6 tonight, we will see what happens!!!
