Josh Murray - BIP - Famously Single - Season 3 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I don't know why Josh is getting so much attention for saying what all the other guys said (& if the women were honest, they'd say it too)...basically what catches his eye FIRST is looks. Not a shocker. He also said he wants a best friend, an independent person, but a nice one that's not overbearing or mean, a family oriented one. One of the girls reacted to those comments as if he had said he wanted his future wife to be a green alien from Mars. She basically said that it was unrealistic for him to want all those qualities in a woman...basically said he was crazy.

There's a lot of manufacturing and editing going on on FS too.

So we're supposed to go on our phones to show the roomies what we like - just doing as I'm told boss @DrDarcySterling

Jumping into a quick engagement on a reality TV show for the second time and blowing up at the cast is probably not a good thing.  He was just getting back into the dating game under with supervision.  Josh is doing well on the FS show and following suggestions and taking feedback very well.  He is looking good to me.  I am glad he found Amanda on BIP, but don't think the quick engagement is a good idea and he will have to apply some of  his new FS skills to make it work, IMO.

I know it's probably super shocking to Josh, but there's like a whole world out there with women who aren't on tv!! I know. Shhh! We don't want to let the secret out and love and sex don't count if they're not on tv anyway.

I think for some of these people, maybe most - you get a taste of the exciting, high profile, brand kind of love and then nothing. else. compares. Must find that Bach partner at all costs!!!!

Surely, you jest and Alanna we ALL know an engagement doesn't count unless millions watch it happen and Neil Lane is involved! Otherwise the engagement would have to be real and a commitment.

Yep and how convenient Famously Single ends right when BIP begins!

He and Ickolas will be back next season, don't you worry, Linds! Fourth (fifth?) times a charm for everyone involved!

^^More material for a book sequel.

Wouldn't surprise me. Though for Josh's sake hopefully he has a steady relationship before next summer be it with Amanda or some other (young) girl. Oh who am I kidding??

It seems Josh can only find true love on TV the real world doesn't give him the attention he seems to crave.

From all accounts, Josh and Amanda were inseparable from the second show. IMO, reading what I do about Josh, if all of the gossip about the book got back to Amanda and she got upset by it , Josh's protective nature, more than caring about what they say about him would cause him to confront the group. I really don't think he cares about the book, Andi, or what people have to say about him that he doesn't him. He seems to have the faith & maturity to realize that you can't please everyone and focuses on doing right by his family & friends.

Oh no he cares about the book based on what he has said and done IMO. Why else would he have had a meltdown?
