But you aren't. So if you care about spoilers don't read this thread.







Now with that out of the way. Lets talk about this season. And of course, we need to differentiate between those there to find love, and those on the show to find insta followers. Its a finer line then you would think.

Also lets also preface this by saying its tv, what we see is the edited version to push the storyline that best generates interest for the show. What I am saying is the villain edit is real, and vice versa.



Also they keep alluding to how strenuous the pods are and how NO ONE could understand except those that were there. We see the pods condensed down to a few episodes. In reality these people spend 10 days in those pods. The first day they essentially speed date (15 mins) all other contestants. After telling the producers who they vibe with the subsequent days are spent talking to less people for longer. There are whole ass relationships and marriages that happened between contestants that never made it to the screen cause they weren't deemed spicey enough by producers. Which I find ironic because the goal is a sustainable stable relationship based on the show title, but not really cause that's boring tv.

Zanab (Aries with major critical Virgo energy) and Cole (Taurus with aqua moon unfiltered mouthdom)

Image Not Found

Now granted this man child has his own issues. Like zero tact, impulsive behavior aka his prior brief marriage, and major family drama stemming from crazy religious parents.

But Zanab KNEW he was younger and a jokester from the pods. So the surprise pikachu face when he shows her his messy apartment? No ma'am, you knew what you were signing up for.

He's an ass for telling his fiance that he finds Colleen more attractive. Not just some rando, but another woman you were dating and seriously contemplating marriage with. But then, Zanab kept asking him to repeat it! I can't with her insecurities.

They argue about dumb shit. Cole wants a woman to be 'unassuming and sweet'. Sounds like regurgitation from his cult upbringing. Whereas Zanab has had to be strong and stable for herself at a young age since she lost her parents. She will never be that person for him.

Cole should've chosen Colleen. She was a better fit for him in every way, and he knew it. But he wanted to be perceived as someone who was 'deep' so he chose Zanab because she had personal trauma he mistook as being more deep or something.

Brennon (Gemini sun, cap moon) and Alexa (Libra sun, scorpio moon)

Image Not Found

Can I start by saying I HATED how the producers were pushing the fat girl gets rejected edit in the first few episodes. First of all Alexa way too confident and self assured to get in her head about weight. Secondly when is like a size 10 maybeeee a size 12 considered plus size? Brennon passed the vibe test for sure and glad that plot line died cause its tired and just not a real thing irl where the rest of us live.

Ok liked these 2 from the jump. They had a good vibe and cute banter. But, and there is always a BUT. He is too keen and all in. There hasn't been any substantial disagreements or friction so how do they know how they would handle conflict together, they don't.

The vetting has all been on her side by her family about what he can do for her. What do you bring to the table Alexa?

I do think she is getting a bit of the golddiggers edit because in talking about her life style with him and later on his mom she did say she was willing to make sacrifices in order to have kids sooner because having a family was more important than her current life style .

Personally I think he will say yes and she will say no, but it'll be amicable and something they chatted about prior, no surprises at the altar, and they will continue to date.

Zanab is going to be the death of Cole. She is going to drive him to the nut house. Cole should have chosen Colleen. Cole was looking for a sugar mama. He ain’t got no job!

Brennan is gay. Alexa is the beard. Colleen wasn’t enough of a beard for Brennan. So he rejected her.

Raven was judged in that house by the egotistical Leo. He wanted her to chase him and it didn’t happen. Men seem to get their rocks off by rejecting her.

Yeah Zanab's critical nature is killing Cole. He already got enough of the controlling critical thing from his religious upbringing and underneath the jokester is a sensitive soul.

I didn't get gay from Brennan, just huge inexperienced vibes. But could be.

Raven, I loved when she put Bartise in his place. He kept complimenting her expecting to get a compliment back and she wasn't having it.

Barrie’s, although impressive that he passed the CPA exam, he seems very superficial.

I don’t like how he was so repulsed over Nancy reproductive rights and that she formed a business with her ex. Her maturity makes him insecure. So he tears down her looks like some high school boy who didn’t have the guts to go after Raven.

He seems like he truly doesn’t know what he wants

First, I think all the men are fucking idiots on the show. Bartisse being the worst.

Raven and SK should never have gotten married and I'm glad SK finally saw that.

Cole is a man child but I think he is sweet. Yes he was dumb for talking about Colleen but I think he really does like zaneb. Also, I think she is a bitch. Like, what the hell were they even fighting about in the apartment— It was so confusing.

Then there is Colleen and what ever his name? I call him abusive psychopath because the way he reacted to Colleens talk with Cole was fucking insane. Then bartisse having to go calm him down again because he brought it up again at the bar— Like wtf is that— I see him being abusive to her if they end up together.

Bartisse and Nancy (sigh) wtf. He is an idiot. She is beautiful and he is putting her down all the time. Why does she stay? I hope she says no to him I really do.

Alexa and Brennan or whatever his name is. I think they are cute. Lol I like them. I don't think he knows what he is getting into with her family tho 😂

Bartise. I read him differently.

I also saw him extremely immature, fake, vain… fake smile, cracks in two seconds when things don’t go his way.

When he first met Raven (his opposite - Capricorn) he could NOT contain himself. Was inappropriately all over her and delusional.

It’s hilarious when he describes his interactions with Raven and when Raven is asked… or when they were in the pods, you see the absolute opposite happening😂🤣. She was NOT into him.

Anyway, as soon as he met Raven - he changed with Nancy. I strongly believe that he didn’t have the courage to acknowledge his asshole, superficial ways… and it was easier to make his cold behavior be about the abortion and Nancy working with the ex. Rather than the ugly truth about himself.

I believed it might have “bothered” him. But, it was mostly fueled because he saw something physically better in Raven… and wanted THAT. He was gaslighting the situation so that he could feel better about himself… as soon as he found some excuses, he went cold with determination. But his behavior started the moment he met Raven. All of the sudden… what he had “at home” was no longer his “heaven”.

He also pretended to be jealous of Nancy when they were at the bar and Nancy was talking to the other guy from the pods. Just…. 🙄🙄🙄… so immature and full of games.

I find it absolutely irritating that Nancy still hangs on as she does. Even her own mother told Bartise something to the effect of “I work with bail bonds and we have to read people. For ex: I read you and I don’t trust you. You have a fake smile you hide something in those eyes….”

I was like…. YES!!!! He is a red flag, why is Nancy not listening. 😣

I agree… Nancy is TOO mature for him. She should bring that rule back about not dating younger guys. The maturity gap is way larger than the physical age gap 🥴

We see him the same

I agree with everything you just wrote.

He is very vain

“Oh me and Raven are what people are drawn to. We’re just too attractive “

I barfed listening to him talk. Yup things changed when he saw Raven. Lol @ her working out while he was spoiling his guts.

Raven wasn’t attracted to SK

Yeah Colleen’s finance is nuts and needs to heal.

I don’t get how some of these finances are pushing their religion on the other person. Seems fake af

The market is frigid and ice cold.

That apartment fight was ridiculous and I believe Zaneb likes to push Coles buttons. She knows she mind screwing him

Watched the series plus reunion. Really don't like Bartise' personality. I feel like Raven sensed the kind of douche he is so turned him down. Glad she chose SK and I think they go well together.

Zanab and Cole. Zanab reminds me of my boss. Criticising everything but not looking at herself and seeing what she needs to adjust from herself. Cole, although a man child, he's got potential to mature and become a better guy. He's not a bad person. He's just young. Met some guys like him and very hard to take seriously. Brennan didn't seem gemini to me but I did have an inkling with the way he was adapting with Alexa. His flexible personality made it easy. Goes to show when a Gemini is serious about a relationship, we make it work and we can be loyal and not look at anybody else. Lol

Ok so who watched the reunion?

Zanab sabotaged the shit out of that relationship and tried to accuse him of criticizing her for eating two cutie oranges.. then they showed the clip of what really happened at the end and OMG when you watch it objectively she took it way out of context and completely manipulated his words. 😬 I understand it’s because of her insecurities but I wonder if when she watches it back, she will see it differently and cringe. Very sad situation.


She used that Colleen snafu against him over and over again. Making him pay for it everyday.

This was a prelude to a nightmare on elm street.

Cole is much better off!

I felt like she was doing a lot of projection. Her I Doby speech was embarrassing. She enjoys talking down to him.

Can’t wait to see what Bartise says to Nancy tonight!! I hope he says “NO”…it’s best for Nancy in the long run. This idiot is too young for her 🫣😥


That was a fiasco and a half.

I think he was hoping for a younger looking older woman and she was enjoy the attention and energy of this younger guy.

As soon as he said “Raven was smoking hot”

I woulda left

Nancy is that Scorpio who just wants to be loved and overlooked all the red flags. Scorpios are intense to the point that they won't measure the difference between what is tolerable vs intolerable unless the other person call it quits or something better comes along.

She knew Bartise was playing her.

The minute someone keeps talking about another woman, about another woman's life/choices you know, it's a wrap.

You see the sting when Nancy sort of insulted Raven when she talked about her to Bartise being "negative".

Nancy triggered the fuck out of me a lot throughout the series. I just caught glimpse of myself in her at times, with her caring and doting.. would not be surprised if she also has a cancer moon. She is very nurturing and patient and motherly. But yes she was borderline doormat and it was hard to watch from outside looking in and I had to wonder if that’s how I appear to others…it’s like she was so desperate to be loved back that she was basically self depreciating and it was heartbreaking to watch.

she made me proud at the end though. She woke the fuck up and snapped out of it.

She went for the attraction factor. I see how she kind of eyes Andrew.

She can have anyone but like Cole, she thinks "deep" equates someone like Bartise or whoever else on her top list. Her energy is too focused on the physical passion and you can see that when she was talking to Andrew about Bartise.

Speaking of Colleen…. Ummmmm did anybody else get the vibe that Matt beats Colleen’s ass during the reunion 🤨 why does she look so fucking terrified sitting next to him like she’s afraid to blink wrong. They just give me weird vibes, something is off with their relationship like he beats her or something.

I saw a potential of that when he got pissed at her the first time and they had that fight in the bathroom.

I didn’t like the way she was begging for forgiveness. She might have really regretted what she did, but seeing her apologize like that when he was that aggressive gave me bad vibes. Like she was being too feminine (passive meek) and he was too masculine (aggressive loud borderline abusive).

Too much of this can definitely get to the point where there is abuse.

I’m not sure if there is physical abuse at this point, BUT she definitely did not look like her confident, giggly, flirty self anymore. That face had A LOT of fear. And Matt looked just fine and confident.

It “could” be her just feeling massively apprehensive at having to openly discuss her inappropriate interaction with Cole. And she is just embarrassed with everyone OR it could be that she is fearful that this will ensue another fight with Matt. Just because there is a reminder…

Definitely something to keep an eye on, though…

I have been saying since the fight in the bathroom that Matt seems abusive. And then seeing her on the reunion she looked terrified. Then he was like hovering over her like he owned her and didn't want her out of his sight. I know we aren't the only ones to notice this from post on Facebook and stuff I've read. ALOT of people have said the same thing.

I didn't understand why Nancy stayed with Bartise. The man was an ass hole and she would just nod and say "uh huh" every time he talked. Like she wasn't really listening to what he was saying but was just thinking about when the next time they were going to fuck. Maybe she was just dick whipped. I get that. I do. I've been there 😂

Cole and Zaneb were just a train wreck you couldn't look away from. I actually do feel a little bit bad for Cole but he was an idiot so I don't feel that bad.

Sk and Raven are just awesome. I didn't think they would still be dating after all this but they are and that's great.

You are right, he never seemed like a Gemini to me either.

And on that link that @ImperfectStorm provided, you’ll see they have him registered as a Capricorn. He always gave me Cancer vibes… which is the same axis and sometimes share same characteristics. Might have been what happened to him:

Sorry if that bursts your bubble on your Gemini theory 🫣

Haha! That's alright. Even if he's not a gemini, I think of all he guys in the show, he's the most decent one. He never really paid attention to others. If that was Bartise, with the way Bartise is, he probably would've been disappointed about Alex's size given he was usually aiming for a Raven. I find Brennan really endearing 💙 I still stand by Geminis not looking elsewhere when serious about the RS though. Hahaha or maybe gems with lots of earth wahahahha

Very sad situation.

Omg… my heart melted when Cole cried 🥺

Bartise remained an ass and unlikable character.

Zanab definitely needs to work on her self esteem. She let her insecurities get the best of her with those cuties scene 🫣. But Cole did make a gesture that resembled “getting fat” when the reality was a gesture meaning “huge meal”. But just looking at him, definitely had nothing to do with her weight 🫣… that was bad.

Im happy about 🔥Raven and SK🔥

Scorpios with Aries going strong 🤔

See I’m about Zanabs size and I didn’t see anything wrong with what Cole said at all during the cuties conversation, I knew he was gesturing toward the meal being big and not her stomach. She was just so much in her head that she was constantly thinking he was picking her appearance apart when he wasn’t at all. Now I completely understand his confusion… she basically gaslit herself.

I didn’t see anything wrong with what he said at all, either. It’s hard for me to watch that and see how off she was - based on her self-esteem. And how SURE she was when she attacked him for it… just YIKES 🫣 she was deep in her head when she had that convo with him.

I think her stepmother mentioned that she had a habit of overthinking small details. Maybe that had something to do with it… she overthink so much, she ends up creating her own reality.

Unfortunately, she had some patterns of low self-esteem going in, I recall her saying she was a flight attendant and WOULD NEVER attract.

Then, Cole saying she was a 9 out of 10 while “SOMEONE ELSE IN THE PODS” was a 10 out of 10, PLUS… hearing about his inappropriate flirtations with Colleen at the pool triggered ALL of her insecurities to almost panic mode.

It’s like she had debilitated tools to start with and Cole just sabotaged any stable foundation from ever forming with his inappropriate behavior so early in the game.

He has A LOT of learning to do (growing up) and she has a lot of healing to do.

But… damn does she have a MOUTH🏆👏🏻👏🏻. My goodness, I don’t think I could ever do something like what she did at the alter. She had to say it and she definitely put him in his place In a brilliant manner… BUT was it the right time and appropriate place to do that?!? This part bothered me… made me feel uncomfortable.
click to expand


I like Cole, I do think her self esteem problems are her own, and he wasn't old enough to know better in saying the dumb shit he said.

I think his character showed most to me.. yeah he made a mistake saying the things he said to the other Colleen, but the amount of respect, clarity and the immediacy he gave to Matt any time he apologized, vs how he was apologizing to Zeb. should have just left him there. for him to give that man more respect then he gave his fiancé is sad and very telling. imo.

I couldn't stand Bartise or Zenab- I almost wish they would've matched up, just to see what they could come up with since they love gaslighting so much. Both are freaking narcissist.

Zenab was a huge liar, super insecure, and messed with Coles mental well being intentionally, when she is the one that picked him and knew how childish he could be.

I felt so bad for him, her talking so much trash about him that her friends clapped when she roasted him at the alter, then lied to the other girls on the show and said he body shamed her and she didn't eat for 2 weeks.

They aired the cuties story and it was nothing like she said.

She treated him like she was a terrible mom and he was her child.

It was sad to see him genuinely shocked and in tears at her vindictive ways. I bet she stays single, she's too hell bent on revenge and humiliating someone.

I hope he finds someone loving and fun.

Zanab is going to be the death of Cole. She is going to drive him to the nut house. Cole should have chosen Colleen. Cole was looking for a sugar mama. He ain’t got no job!



Brennan is gay. Alexa is the beard. Colleen wasn’t enough of a beard for Brennan. So he rejected her.



Raven was judged in that house by the egotistical Leo. He wanted her to chase him and it didn’t happen. Men seem to get their rocks off by rejecting her.


Men enjoy setting up and embarrassing Raven
