I found my old college roommate on a dating show.

[@mrbears8165]

that chick said "The guy was just a no, I could tell he was judgmental from just walking in" and the irony is that's the most judgmental thing said in this episode lmfao

[@TenaciousDealer]

That paired with the "that makes a lot of sense" comment for next guy... yeah I feel she probably has a lot of insecurity and that's how it must manifest.

[@Bonnie__45]

The worst part is that when she walked in and sat down she started off with the most judgemental „hmmm okay..“ I’ve ever heard 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@odiousghoul]

ariel just felt like she had some internal issues, scott was chill and that "makes sense" kinda confirmed it,shes all in her own head and projecting her own thoughts of herself onto others lol

[@maddief.8956]

she also made fun of him for talking about his travels when she literally asked him "do you like to travel?" like what was he supposed to do?

[@Lindseyisloony]

Super insecure people often convince themselves they know how to spot who will reject them. When people like her randomly label somebody judgemental based on nothing what that really means is they are remembering people who have rejected them and trying irrationally to make comparisons and get ahead of more rejection. "That makes sense" was her thinking about what she's most used to being rejected for (which is probably her body in her mind), deciding that had to be the reason again and then trying to convey to everyone that she was on to him. Basically saying "Yeah, I thought so."

Ok, but the winning couple has a great opportunity to say "let's go on a second date.. to Australia" and really challenge the button's all-expenses policy

I’m very confident the “all expenses paid second date” is just for the show/entertainment. I’ll bet ever contestant knows the most they can spend or it might even be a cash prize but they know it’s not all expenses

[@fayettevillain1171]

She felt threatened by the fact that he was more successful and well traveled than her but also found his chin-less face not attractive.

[@JoinkerZZ]

she had a chip on her shoulder, and her self image is in the dirt... poor girl really. What i mean by that is that she sees herself as fat and ugly but to other people tries to portray she is a really happy outgoing girl, but she can't wipe the fact she thinks people see her the way she sees herself. This then leads to her making up stuff about scott to get the other guy to be into her (damzel in distress) and also the "it makes sense". I feel for her but only she can change it.
