I just love and respect Treach on CT. Not just for what he's been through and over come but how compassionate he is. Last week I was moved by his words to Evel and this week what he said to Jenna. He's not perfect but he really is a stand up guy.

Re: Nikki and Juan, it's hard to have sympathy for them after hearing Treach and Jenna's story but like they say every one has their own burdens to bare. Nikki is an overachiever and is used to things going her way. I almost wonder if she's sticking it out with Juan because she doesn't want to fail as something. Hope Dr. Jenn digs more into that.

Truly speaking, JPG and Nikki's issues are not as bad. As I said before, my husband and I had been in therapy. We had group sessions where couples had to open up with their issues and believe me, there were problems in that were 10 times greater than JPG and Nikki's. My husband and I wanted to quit because we felt so embarrassed to tell our issues because there were nothing compare to theirs laugh out loud

Thanks for the link Soccer3m. It would seem that both JPG and Nikki are working on their relationship.

I've noticed that unlike other couples where CT showed resolution on their issues on same or next episode, Nikki's and JPG's issues are growing as the episode progresses. If i don't follow them on social media my personal conclusion is that they have split up already.

Nikki's and JPG's family life is completely different from that of the rest of the couple. Their issues are petty compared to other couples. Normal vs. abusive upbringing. I get it that viewers will tend to sympathize with the other couple but it does not excuse them especially Jenna with her actions towards Nikki.

I read Dr Jenn's tweets and it seems she is always a little more sympathetic to JP. Am I missing something or is that how you all see it?

I 'm not sure what to think about these two. At times, I feel they are growing in their relationship and at other times, I feel they are growing apart. Nikki does truly come across as a brat on CT and Juan Pablo comes across as the victim. Even when he smashed the roses with a bat, she didn't come across as very loving to me. I am still rooting for them to make it work, but I guess time will tell.

I agree about Dr. Jenn and appearing to side more with Juan in her tweets since the beginning. She obviously knows more about what's going on with them since the sessions are longer than what is shown and they have revealed more to her. But I still think it's odd how she publicly somewhat throws Nikki under the bus. It might be part of the reason Nikki unfollowed her and doesn't want anything to do with the show.

Whatever (if anything) Dr. Jenn knows about the status of their relationship is from what Juan has told her because I have a feeling Nikki does not speaks to her.

I think she is sympathetic towards the "celebrity star" in the each couple. JPG is a drama king and loves to play the victim forgetting the only reason they have issues is all because of him, how he has to introduce Nikki to his daughter, how he can't say i love you, how he is always travelling and really has no base but wants a girl he hasn't committed to to leave her life and jump into the whatever with him. I truly hope they work it out, but only if they bouth realise they are equally to blame and own their wrongdoings.

I'm sure Dr Jenn had interviewed them and tested them before the filming. No way they started from scratch. I remember myself, we had to complete a series of questions and the therapist would go over them and talk to you individually before the group sessions. Maybe she knows the real problem lies on Nikki more than to him? or she's harder to deal with and lost patient on her? An example would be the scene where when people started to say something about Andi and she walked away. I mean, she didn't even want to listen JMO
