I’ve just seen this on Netflix, apparently the first 5 episodes are up and the next lot drop next week. Anyone watching? I loved the first season

I'm so glad Shayne missed playing baseball because it seems like it caused him to get drunk and start a horrible fight with Natalie. If he'd hit the ball she probably wouldn't have realised what he's really like until it was too late.

@cuno she posted on her Insta. She seems very articulate and aware of her mh issues, also said she's been in therapy for years. I totally agree that their arguments were frequent and pointless, and that her and nick are likely not the best match. I'm just saying she comes across much more 'with it', as much as one can glean on social media.

Can't wait for the reunion!

Also, Netflix producer could squeeze a lot more in if they didn't show endless shots of bland buildings!

I feel like Shane set Natalie up to be the bad guy. If he said all those things in the argument, he clearly didn't want to get married to her. But made her be the one who had to say no.

Egghead68 · 25/02/2022 19:41

Good for Deeps!

I can’t see the marriages that went ahead lasting.

Well I never thought she would not be articulate anyway, having or lacking articulacy has nothing to do with her issues. I think the show obviously focuses on the rockiness in her and Nick's relationship and purposely includes the stuff that shows her as "crazy", but those things still happened and it's too much so early on in a relationship. I think Nick is weird though. I bet outside of the relationship Danielle is popular and can have a right laugh, can't say I feel the same about Nick really.

I loved what Natalie's Dad said to her before the ceremony - it made me cry. It made sense what she said afterwards about feeling safe and supported on her Dad's arm and then stepping up to Shayne.

I was delighted by Deeps' decision. I think it's funny how I started off thinking that Shake was a jerk and then thought maybe I had judged him too harshly then he showed his true colours again - he should be so embarrassed watching himself post-ceremony and she will be so relieved she said no.

I guess I have to root for Jarette and Iyana. I did start to believe in them more in this episode and his family is so lovely.

I just don't think that Danielle and Nick make each other happy.

Giraffesandbottoms · 25/02/2022 20:44

Where to begin?! What an emotional rollercoaster 😃 I also skipped most of it to get to the alters. Here are my thoughts:

  1. I think Shake was extremely disappointed. I’m not convinced he would have said no, given his 14 year old boy reaction and the way he looked when he saw her coming down the aisle. And the way he actually looked pretty dead inside saying “I have reservations at Nobu on Sunday, it’s gonna be good” (an all-time quote?). Very pleased for Deepti. Although I was rooting for them.

  2. I think Mallory would have said yes to Sal, I think it was self preservation. I thought it was fucking brave of her to ask him
    If he still wanted to date and it was ice cold/can’t understand him essentially saying no. How can you go from
    Not knowing if you want to get married to not dating? I think he was all talk (or song). She seemed devastated.

  3. absolutely shocked by Natalie and Shayne. Shocked. I think he’s a bit mental and huge self esteem issues hence all the fishing for compliments, but I really thought they were solid and were a definite yes. Hope they can work it out.

  4. shocked nick and Danielle said yes. Shocked. That’s a disaster waiting to happen.

  5. so pleased for Jarrette and Iyanna and hope it works

Rillette · 25/02/2022 20:47

Shayne looked coked up in that wedding. Cheered when Natalie said no!

mrsm43s · 25/02/2022 21:00

I've just watched this tonight.

Shake and Deeps. Deeps is totally the heroine of this series. I think she's grown and found herself throughout this series. She was absolutely spot on to "choose herself". I felt really proud of her, not just for doing it, but for doing it with such grace and dignity. Shake, I think also did have personal growth, but I think its clear he has a Whore/Madonna complex. He really liked and respected Deeps, but the more he respected her, the less sexually attracted he felt to her. I think he would have said yes if she did, but she deserves so much more, and if they had got married I think he would have ended up cheating on her.

Danielle and Nick. He gives me bad vibes, and she's so vulnerable. Shouldn't have gone ahead - it's a car crash waiting to happen.

Mal and Sal. I never really felt much warmth between them throughout. No surprise that it didn't go ahead, but I thought either of them could have said no.

Shayne and Natalie. I bloody loved all their parents (esp Nat's Dad) and on some levels I was sad that this didn't work out. However, Natalie is lovely and straightforward, and Shayne is so needy with red flags waving all over the place. I think these two did have an emotional connection and really fancied each other, but they didn't have a solid foundation on which to build a marriage, so Natalie totally made the right call.

Jarrett and Iyana. I had big doubts about this couple throughout the series, but in today's episode I saw real love and intimacy between them - shared jokes, loving touches, tender looks. I think they might just work out. I wish them luck!

Stressybetty · 25/02/2022 21:17

Am watching the Japanese one now, very sweet and innocent and no gold cups!

dimples76 · 25/02/2022 21:23

Stressybetty I found the Japanese one fascinating and watched it all whilst waiting for episode 10.

TitsInAbsentia · 25/02/2022 21:29

Couldn't agree more that Deepti is the heroine of this series. What a total love she is, and omg she looked just incredible - even Shake's asshat jaw dropped, I'll bet he changed his mind right there and hadn't even considered she would say no. I'm so happy she did. His reaction showed him for just who he is "oh it saved me from saying no" "let's party" dude, you are DYING inside and we aren't buying your attempts to save face! I really hope she finds someone who deserves her.

Jarette and Iyanna are really coming together as a couple, I hope they make it. I really had my doubts about him but he genuinely seems all in.

I'd be proper surprised if Nick and Dan are still together at the next show. Did they just want the after party that bad?

I was surprised that Sal said no. I don't know what Mal would have said but I really thought she was all in. Clearly she didn't show enough appreciation for his uke playing and persistent serenading. I'm wondering why he bothered with a mariachi band when he knew he was going to pour warm pish over the whole affair?

It's so refreshing to see the cultural differences and the respectful behaviour! Such a nice change from the USA ones gushing over each other. On episode 2 and none of the girls are bitching over each other yet just a few of them waiting for the English speaking guy with the dodgy little beard to decide between them!
22Newnames · 25/02/2022 21:40

Shake was such a knob afterwards. He really didn’t do himself any favours.

Totalwasteofpaper · 25/02/2022 21:47

Yessssssss Deepti & fuck you Tom haverford Shake. Such a. Total. Fucking. loser.
He should have been crawling over broken glass to get a woman as amazing as her.
his bravado reaction was pathetic and so cringe… she is amazing, cool and funny and I want to be her friend!!!! He is awful and needs a punch in the face.

Yesssssss Nathalie - thank god he couldn’t hold it together until the wedding day…no clue how she overlooked the initial gaslighting and anger issues to up the day before but SO happy he couldn’t keep a lid on it…
Also just how drunk was Shane at the wedding??
ShockShockShock mumbling stumbling and slurring all over place… and the ankle situation was ridiculous - get some socks!!!!
The vows were just embarrassing! He could barely stand up…

Nan’s relief was palpable and Ed Izzard’s shanye’s mums face was an absolute picture

Giraffesandbottoms · 25/02/2022 22:04

I do wonder re Shane and drugs/drink his Face IS all over the shop. Steroids?

Egghead68 · 25/02/2022 22:25

Sal had a secret girlfriend throughout, I think

GrandSupremeLittleDarling · 25/02/2022 23:16

Did anyone else notice iyanna's hair and make up changed from when she was in the room with her parents to the actual ceremony?

TheresSomebodyAtTheDoorNeil · 26/02/2022 00:04

Deepti looked absolutely bloody stunning, im so pleased she turned him down.

ButtercupOfFlorin · 26/02/2022 00:19

@Rillette

I am 100% convinced he’d had a few lines of coke. The slurring, verbal diarrhoea, twitchiness and gurning - that’s not nerves and it’s not alcohol. I agree there’s a substance abuse problem there
ButtercupOfFlorin · 26/02/2022 00:23

@Giraffesandbottoms

Definitely steroids - this will sound weird but steroid misuse can give men a very large belly and really make their nipples protrude too - exactly what Shayne has, I thought this a few episodes in when he was topless in Mexico.

@GrandSupremeLittleDarling

Yes her hair as the curls were combed/brushed out in the scene with her parents. She has lovely easy to style hair tho and I think the hairstyle at the wedding suited her hairpiece better and made her face softer. I didn't notice the makeup tho.
Nomad916 · 26/02/2022 10:49

I wonder if Iyanna's childish voice/behaviours is because that's what her relatively young parents wanted/treated her like, when they adopted her at age 16/17. (Ie the wanted/treated her like a child)

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 26/02/2022 11:11

I knew when I saw Natalie's dress that she wouldn't marry Shayne. Sounds mad - but I'm guessing she didn't want to wear the dress of her dreams to stand someone up.

Nick and Danielle - what a car crash.

Sal came across really oddly, but it's clear Mallory wouldn't' have married him in any event (and her parents didn't even bother to show).

I hope Jarrett and Iyanna make it.

And.

GO DEEPS!!

Giraffesandbottoms · 26/02/2022 11:35

@Nomad916

I get quite an odd vibe from
The adoptive parents. It’s all quit strange - they are very overprotective but haven’t known her that long and they only look a couple of years older than her
