I'm wondering where FDS ladies stand on the whole Cole/Zanab situation? On every social media platform I see people throwing Zanab under the bus now calling her everything from the vilan, evil, manipulative, abusive, a liar, and even comments comparing her to 'another Amber Heard' (of which I find that last one particularly offensive and disgusting).
I think it is very telling how all the ladies and Brennan are standing behind her. I think there was a lot more that wasn't shown and fully believe Cole probably said worse things. I don't think his crocodile tears erase his bad behavior and disrespect. He just never came off as genuine and sincere to me. The later episodes he started all of a sudden complimenting Zanab which made me cringe. It was like he was trying to back pedal and make her think that all of a sudden she was attractive enough for him. Did anyone else cringe when he referred to her as 'hot' at the alter?
I think her personality probably got misconstrued in this season. For one he ignored her the morning after they were first intimate. I had been in this position pre FDS and it makes you feel like shit. Can't imagine having to have that filmed and aired for the world to see. Also people called her a neg but, I could see how she does not want to be a maid to Cole. Let's be real dude was a complete slob. Imagine living with that.
I actually loved that she came to her senses and called him out at the alter. I actually loved that her girlfriends clapped and stood by her decision. What was up with his family not wanting to meet her but yet followed her on social media??
The reunion missed the chance at calling Matt out on his controlling abusive behavior. WHY did not one person address this?! Colleen didn't seem to smile once during the reunion and, seemed like she was walking on eggshells with what she said. He was right up in her personal space the whole time. She just seemed incredibly uncomfortable.
Alexa & Brennan: Still love them both!
Nancy: why didn't she call out Bartiste more?!
SK and Raven: I actually love them together. While I think SK could have let her know prior to walking down the aisle where he stood, I am not sure if it was part of the shows contract?
I think it unfair that Zanab is getting dogpiled so much, especially since Matt didn't recieve nearly the same amount of vitroil as she is right now. I'm also going to be honest and say that, yes, Zanab did seem to blow things out of proportion for that cuties scene, but after watching all the episodes and seeing the way Cole treats women in general, I don't blame Zanab. I think she's deeply insecure and needs to get a therapist before getting married, but why does that make her evil? What? Because she misinterpreted what Cole said? So what? Does this suddenly absolve Cole of all responsibility? He still implied she was bipolar. He still put her down in favor of Colleen. He still flirted with other women. He talked shit about her to other women. Why is Zanab suddenly unredeemable because she didn't like the way her fiance was talking to her? Oh. Because reddit and the like hates women. That's why. Yeah her friends clapping at the ceremony was ghetto but it honestly gave me life😆
Cole is a lvm for sure, I don't think anyone disputes that.
But Zanab has issues. I'd be scared to end up on one of her smear campaigns if I accidentally "triggered" her and she never communicated what the problem was.
Cole and Zanab are both low value.
Zanab had plenty of reason to say no, but there’s no doubt she wanted to make a performance out of it. She’s a mean girl queenbee looking for affirmation.
I love SK and Raven.
I dont like Alexa very much. Brennan seems fine.
Bartiste is very well spoken. He’s definitely full of himself, but I feel like he made a good case for himself in the reunion.
