IMO they wanted something not showing that. Why when the show is over did they still want to keep the storyline? That is when they normally let go of that and start showing us the reality, the good stuff. Did they want us to believe she was still more split in her emotions than she really was and when so why? Is the reason why the same as to why they are "gone" from SM now? Do the storyline have to match that? Confused...

This video doesn't make me any more convinced their relationship can or will work.  The tone is still negative, IMO.  

Jasmine says:

[IMO presumably in answer to a question about being open as a couple:]

"It feels crazy... it's gong to be very bizarre."

[IMO presumably in response to a question about the FRC:]

"It feels like a blur.  That whole day was so crazy and it was relieving to know that was the end... I was just excited to finish it off".

She sighs, she looks down, she runs her tongue over her teeth.  Her body language IMO is just not comfortable and this is even more evident in the out-take posted upthread where she is telling him off for putting his arm around her... or not putting it around her... I forget which it was.

The only thing Jasmine says she's excited about is "finishing" the show.

When asked what she's learned about Kevin since finishing the show she says he's "adaptable".  ADAPTABLE?!  That's barely even a compliment.  It's one of those vague "skills" one might put on a job application.

Then:

"We had so many differences... It was challenging and we had our fights and it's hard to do long distance.... We went from fights lasting hours to fights lasting... no time at all".  

She is measuring "progress" in their relationship by citing a reduction in the duration of their arguments?!  Red.  Flag.

"It was always hard in the beginning but it's.... good now".  Good?  She pauses before she says it and doesn't even say it with conviction.  She then practically dares him to disagree, IMO.

Kevin is at least trying to be more upbeat; his focus seems more on the future.  Jasmine seems fatigued and is talking about relief at having things end.  They are not on the same page at all IMO.

IMO, this is a relationship circling the drain.
