I feel zaina and j.r met at the gym and both wanted to be gym influencers and decided to pretend to be together to be on the show. Why would she ask about his growing up if they have actually been dating for 3 years 😅
i def get your perspective, but i think you may be misinterpreting caleb's seemingly avoidant-attachment and passive nature for not wanting to be with mariah. i think he def caught feelings for aria, but i also think he's being honest in the way he doesn't want to lose mariah which is why he's step-siding the connection. and while i think mariah has insecurities, i think him being passive enflames that.
@@LexAddison that makes sense! i think he does have an urge to not be tied down but i see it as more of a fear of commitment than him not wanting to be with her
I respected that Mariah had the guts to ask Aria if she was interested in continuing to persue Caleb because of the answer was no then she wouldve had the reassurance she needed to get over her insecurities regarding Caleb and Aria. She maybe shouldn’t have put her on the spot in front of everyone but it took balls. I thought she handled Arias reply pretty well honestly especially when aria finished her unclear answer that sounded like a subliminal yes with “does that answer your question?” But overall I really hope Caleb and Aria find people that make them happy because I don’t think it’s the partners they came in with but I don’t think it’s each other either
I wonder 🤔 if the conversation NEVER happened ( if Zaina was NEVER PULLED BY NICK 👀 ) at what point waaas he going to tell his own girlfriend for 3yrs.??!
Zania seems to be in denial, even after the obvious connection JR had with Sandy. She needs to seriously consider the fact that JR is even more ambivalent about getting married to her.
Idk. I saw it as Mariah was just trying to talk and Caleb kept shutting it down and being evasive which in itself isn't goingg to help the situation and will cause Mariah to keep spiralling plus the "let's check in monthly" comment seemed so snarky and rude like it's a business meeting or something.
The danger of this experiment is that it brings out your true feelings in a way. But many are not willing to embrace that for some reason. Nick and Scotty in particular need to be left in the dust. Sandy is actually tired of Nick, and so is her family. And Scotty is just emotionally abusive. JR is not that awful but he needs a different type of woman. And Caleb does not want to abandon Mariah, but she comes across cold and too serious, so their chemistry is dead.
I think Caleb really is realizing that his connection with Mariah isn’t right on a friend level after having his trial marriage with aria. Like Mariah is boring in comparison and everything seems so heavy.
Caleb and Mariah are such a weird match. Caleb's apprehension and Mariah's persistent growth mentality just create this friction that is just odd to watch. From the show's editing, Mariah does not have that ease of connection with people if it's not talking about very serious things (look at her convos with Nick and Micah). Caleb can talk about serious things, but doesn't always voice his apprehensions/feelings and (this is a huge guess) maybe doesn't take the lead in making the fun he wants.

I agree!! Something is not adding up.
That was soo odd. She's constantly showing that she's thoughtful and caring but never thought to ask abt his childhood?😂
i think they have a very long superficial relationship and zania wants to get married because of the sunken cost fallacy.
The way JR glazed Sandy during the couples swap and all he had to say about Zaina is that she is "petty". What is wrong with him??

I guess only time will tell but some of his comments about “her not ever experiencing other people” doesn’t scream to me that he wants to be with her.

Sandy was crying cause she missed J.R 🤣

I think she was texting jr when nick walked in.
It’s apparent that JR is even more ambivalent about marrying Zania after the strong connection he has with Sandy.

Nick got that tat on purpose
Why would he want to have a permanent reminder of J.R.
