... the door that is... or the trip. LoL, I'm actually kidding, but I couldn't resist saying, "Sully 'sullied!'" I felt badly Tori felt guilty that her dog, Sully scratched the door at Jeremy and Audrey's place. They didn't get overtly pissed, but they didn't do much to make Tori feel better. I know they're renters and worried about ticking off their landlord, but they said bringing Sully was fine; it wasn't like Tori brought him along without asking first. They seemed anal about a door that can be, uh, replaced (if not fixed up).
Anyway, how awkward did that visit end up being in parts? Not sure how well these two sets of newlyweds jive together. *shrugs*
I'm definitely more "team Zach and Tori (and Sully)." Jer and Aud... I mean, her TMI story about Jer's, er... "bathroom habits" during the narrative/interview part... or then later on, Aud actually argued over hiow to burn a candle properly. WHAT? None of this seems to come across as banter. It's just... weird. Admittedly, I haven't watched much of this show in the past couple years, but some of the dynamic of these two who dated/were engaged mostly via a long-distance relationship makes me scratch my head regarding what we see in their now married-life.
What did you guys think of this season premiere? Does anyone even watch anymore, lol? My thread seems like the only new one, so I'm comfortably all over the place with my topic.
Their visit did have kind of an awkward aura. Tori had a blank look on her face half of the time that made it seem like she wasn't really feeling it. But that might just be her neutral expression. And a few times it looked like they were all trying to resist the urge to roll their eyes lol. But it's natural to clash a little bit when you spend all day together, so it wasn't too weird.
I thought they reacted well to the door though. They weren't mad or blaming them. Audrey even made a comment like "it's just a door...our relationship is more important."
And I also like Zach and Tori better. They seem more genuine and truly happy together. I think they'll have a really good marriage, whereas I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy and Audrey get divorced down the line.
Yeah, that's true that Audrey was actually pretty nice about the door. So much for the always "stoked" and zen, Jeremy. It was "solid wood," gasp! Pretty sure they can afford a new one. Didn't Zach even offer to fix it?
The editing just made it almost like Jeremy can be a little passive-aggressive. I like how he asserted things like Sully won't get cold in the garage because of his breed: he didn't consider something like the door, but didn't make Tori feel better when something happened. Personally, I'd want to do more to reassure my new SIL, especially since she wanted to check and double-check Sully visiting, and if I said, "yes." I think I'd try a little harder than Jer.
I mostly chalk it up to Jeremy's way of not exactly knowing how to talk to others in many ways, but he ultimately tries to accommodate. It's funny how Matt was saying in the preview show how things come more easily to Jeremy compared to Zach, and he didn't mean just physicality.
Um, because Zach is more introverted, and Jeremy is a cross-between charismatic charmer and zen bro? (Man bun and a PNW hipster wardrobe and all, lol.) That kind of attitude irks me, and it is further annoying when people buy it as such a guy has a gift. Not that Jer is a bad guy at all, but I've never bought that kind of facade from anyone who has it.

Totally my sentiments. I just keep picturing a possible "Amy and Matt" split with them but much sooner than 29 years. I gotta wonder how the seemingly perpetual "chill" Jer stands some of Audrey's grating tones. Maybe it's just coming across more nagging than it really is. I still haven't gotten much of a read on them.
I obviously hope I'm wrong, but it just seems like a lot of picking at Jeremy, and that chill-attitude can only last so long. Even when Zach and Tori disagree, they seem to communicate better and are just more connected; more genuine. I'm seeing a lack of "soulmates" with Jeremy and Audrey; almost like they're playing house.

What I didn't understand is why the girls didn't stop him from scratching the door. That would have made a lot of noise, and they were just right on the other side of it. I have a dog with separation anxiety, to the point where she will follow me to the bathroom and stand outside on her back legs frantically scratching the door. (Yes, it's a big drag - for both her and me.) Anyway, she makes a lot of noise, and she's just a 12 lb poodle.

I got the impression that Sully scratched the door while the four of them were out and Sully had been locked alone in the garage. I thought they discovered the damage when they all returned. Maybe I'm seeing things.🤔

The guys went out alone for coffee. The girls were in the kitchen cooking breakfast when they guys were gone.
Ok that makes me think that Sully scratching the door was drama manufactured for the show. Like Teri said if the girls were cooking in the kitchen then they would have heard Sully whining and scratching the door. I think it was a staged incident.

It did seem that Audrey and Jeremy did not want them to bring the dog and tori seemed quite upset over that, and finally got Jeremy and aud to give in. She really should have realized not everyone wants messy, shedding livestock in their house!
I actually often wonder that too. Probably true. I still can't tell if editing made it all seem so awkward or if they're not the closest. I always sensed Jeremy and Zach weren't the closest, even if they are twins. Some siblings just aren't going to be bff.
I think even the visit to Bend was just to film "the new sets of married people" together. Would they have even gone without the show to initiate it? Maybe. Maybe not...
