I do hope Courtney and Jason resist the temptation of a reality show, despite what production are probably whispering in their ears.  At some point a relationship needs to breathe and grow in private, and if they deny themselves that, they will ruin what they have.

I think Jamie does have intimacy issues, and they may have been fed by the negative experience with Chris B on Bachelor Pad.  She knows she made a mistake there, and it probably digs into her deep.  Basically, I suspect that she knows she has been all over the map with intimacy in the past and is trying hard to sort it out before taking that step this time.  Not to mention, she probably feels that when she takes that step with Doug, she will be telling Doug that they are staying together.

I completely agree with the bolded.  On another forum, people who didn't know Jamie was on TB/BP until after the first and second horribly awkward episodes were REALLY harsh on Jamie.  REALLY harsh.  Since then, in interviews, I have heard Jamie mention that the producers of MAFS called her, I heard or read that Vaughn (who was a model at some point) and Doug both found the show.  I believe Doug said something about looking at a list of shows.  While this is a virtual unknown "little" show, it is still on TV.

IMO, that's ok.  This is "good" TV.  It is just about the opposite of Bach/ette.  It is refreshing. This show does the opposite of those shows, it puts people together then hopes for happiness, forces intimacy, tries to support the couples (at least a little).  I love it.

I haven't been this into a show since Andy & Tessa.  I probably haven't posted here in that long, either.  SO glad I found this forum via google.  I have been dying to find people who are poring over the social media posts like I have been.  Heck, I even broke my vow and posted at FORT.     I'm a junkie for this show.  I even tweet!

Need to go back and read the 4th of July sleuthing for C & J.  I knew about J & D, but his sister locked down her IGl  

*hugs* all around.  I recognize so many screen names, I hope you remember me from "back in the day"  :WAVEY:

 Secret! So happy to see you. MAFS is a good place to start posting again. It's very safe and full of love for this show.

From someone that just saw Jamie at JFK airport

@LexiJasmin @jamienotis Was she with Doug????

@TabithaCrow0919 yes!!

I am so glad to see this update.  It is so weird, Jason's posts today have been totally random.  I wondered if the guy's were web invited.

Then, Vaughn got his panties in a twist AT Jamie because of a comment Jamie made on twitter a few days ago.  Not cool, Vaughn.  I think he is just a negative, not very nice person.  I just wonder about Dr C's take on Vaughn.  He just does not seem genuinely "in" this at all.   

I can't get tinypic working, don't know how to add pic - here's a link to Vaughn's tweet -

@jamienotis: @monet_iam @bandonbeachbum @VCopeland55 I know theres editing but no way they edit those words out of his mouth & no woman deserves that!

@VCopeland55: @jamienotis Maybe in your world marriage is more superficial. In our marriage @monet_iam and I can talk about ANYTHING!#teamvonet


I have been actually watching Monet & Vaughn closely and hoping for a turn around because I feel for Monet.  Especially after a very quick, very frank and vulnerable response from Monet on twitter a few weeks ago.  I posted to her something like "I'm kind of obsessed with your love life.  No pressure" and she responded -

@monet_iam: ha! No pressure... Just imagine if all your good and bad was on display for the world to see.... It's not easy...

I feel bad for Vonet, but I am mentally checked out on Vaughn.  That was rude!

Thank you, Beelever!!    

It is such a fixation, I can't even bring myself to watch BiP!

I was able to catch the last two episodes on Hulu, and picked up on the gist from flashbacks...is it worth watching the others on YouTube?

My husband walked by and asked, "What are you watching?!" I said, "A documentary about arranged marriages."   Rooting for true love!

It's def worth watching all the epi's. Each one is uniquely different. They focus in things like honeymoon, moving in together, finances, intimacy etc. this week is about getting to know each other's families.

I made a comment on Jamie's instagram...she "liked" some of my photos after my comment. I merely said, "baby time"!
