Mike & Samantha - Miles & Heather - Love in the Wild 1 - Discussion

I agree, Brill.

The previews make it look like Steele and Erica and Ben and Brandee will have the most problems next week and that is somewhat predictable so I am curious if another unexpected event (like Derek's injury) will happen or if it will go as expected and those two couples will have the most problems? I am not that excited about those couples, but would like something unexpected to happen as well!

I think Brandee is a real sweetheart...too bad she didn't find someone nice to partner with...Ben is being a bit of butthead with her.

Now that would be hilarious if Ben and Brandee would be the last 2 standing.
I guess I have my bachelor/ette glasses on and am used to them now showing who is for real and hides things from us to keep us on our toes.

lol, I actually don't mind Ben. I feel like they're trying to over produce him to be some kind of huge a-hole. That being said, I'd be surprised if Brandee and Ben do end up together after this show.

According to Heather's tweet, the elimination for the next episode will be jaw dropping. Not sure what to make out of it.

But, from the previews it's obvious Sam & Mike won the challenge again since they were the only pair who were standing to the side during the Couples Choice Ceremony [as the camera's panned for their reactions during the preview].

Some poster here said that Miles was gone for a month, and so was Heather, which means they're probably not eliminated next week.

It's got to be one of these couples: Ben & Brandee, Erica & Steele, or Theresa & Skip. Perhaps Steele asks Brandee to be his partner instead? Theresa & Skip are non-existent. The producers don't seem to care about them, so it's just a matter of time when they're eliminated.

I actually liked the Derek-Jessica story this past week, especially how concerned she was about his injury. I hope they make it in the real world.

Or that's another way of saying the relationship they started in LITW didn't last. Or a little of both. It is true that Skip and Theresa haven't been shown much at all and then so much focus is on Sam and Mike that it is hard to believe they win it either (but I may be used to Bachelor/ette where rarely do we see the obvious) - that may leave Heather and Miles as most likely to win, but that is just a guess right now. Can't wait to see what happens if it is surprising! I wonder if any couples split for challenges just to increase chances of winning or if they always choose to be together, if not split up for challenges?

Yeah I'm not sure by her tweet either. Jess goes on to tweet about visiting him LA soon. So whatever happened or not with their "relationship", it ended on good terms.

Skip and Theresa have not been focused at all. Most of the time people don't even remember who they are until their names are shown on the screen. There's no way they "win". But I actually do see them dating each other after the show. Although, they're on opposite coasts, so, who knows.

Everyone and their grandma's knows about Sam & Mike. They are definitely the heavy favorites to win. The host did say, the ending was not expected, and how there is an "upset" or some sort. So that makes me think twice about them winning it all and they're so "obvious" as a couple to win. But, this is the first season, so I don't know what the producers have in mind. In the end, they've already "won" in a sense, since they found "love" (I am assuming). Out of all the couples, they are probably the most likely to continue to date post-show.

As for Heather and Miles, they haven't been focused on too much (not as much as Sam &Mike, Ben & Brandee), but they still get enough screen time, so that the audience knows about their "story". I think they'll either win the whole thing or come in second. They're definitely going far in the competition. I can see how it's an "upset" if they win. Although, they're my fav couple so I wouldn't have any problems with that. I do see them continuing whatever they have on the show, outside in the real world, but, they will have the same issue as Skip & theresa with their locations.

I really don't see any other couple "winning" except for Sam & Mike and Heather & miles. Unless they split as a couple.... anything can happen I guess.

I like having a new series to dissect! We don't have past years to help figure it out, so it makes it more unknown. I keep thinking that the next episode will be obvious (based on couples being pretty set and who does better at the challenges), but then Derek and Jess leaving was very unexpected! So who knows! Also, I like that all the people are expected to like one person, but instead can find someone from group.

Hmmmmmm, probably nothing but on July 27th Derek tweets, Party in the new crib.

Yesterday Jess tweets:

jessdeboltJessica DeBolt In line @comcast. I'm pretty sure returning a cable box couldn't be slower

Today she tweets:

jessdeboltJessica DeBolt
All packed up! Finally.

Sounds like more then vacation and interesting that they both moved at the same time.......

Just saying...............

Of course my mind wants that for sure........

I hope Derek and Jess are still together. I love them.

Thanks, for update on twitter, Brill! I don't use it, so love when get updates from others. Maybe they are together???
