The biggest red flag is being overlooked.

Last week, Feb 19th, showed Zach open a carton of eggs...

With cracked used ones inside! Who uses eggs and does not throw the shells away? It might seem silly at first, but a health inspector would faint if they saw that. Salmonella is just marinating in his fridge.

My takeaway, Mindy better check her will if she has dinner at his house.

I think she has bigger red flags than that one to worry about. Zach is trying so hard to come off as being genuine and caring, while what really happens is that he looks shady, self-serving and clueless.

What makes you think he’s shady, self-serving and clueless other than the fact that he’s not into Mindy just like many of us are not into many people? And he’s trying to communicate it a million different ways without flat out telling her because she’s sensitive and hopeful.

As for the egg shells, it’s literally not a big deal. I understand not a lot of people like it, but I’ve done it my entire life and have never gotten sick. So I’d say it’s not as risky as you’re making it sound.

Regarding the egg shells, I didn't make a big deal of it and certainly didn't mention it being risky.

My opinion of Zach is that he's not being genuine, even though he believes he is. I think it's very important for him to look like the good guy, and that he goes to great lengths to seem that way, but his poor skills at expressing himself stand in his way. Also, I think he's trying to be a gentleman by not saying that her looks turn him off, but he's hurting her anyway by overtly rejecting her.

I agree he's in a very difficult situation, apparently not finding Mindy in the slightest bit sexy, and that's okay, but refusing to move in with her and wanting to sleep in his own place, strikes me as shady. No one's forcing him to have sex with her, although he's apparently feeling pressure by her questioning him. He's a big boy though and should be able to handle that. If he treated her as you would treat a good friend, and just tried to get to know her, she wouldn't be under any Illusions about it being a romantic match, and he would have at least given it a try. It would be up to her if she didn't want to continue as a cast member. As it is, he doesn't come off looking very good.

I disagree that if he treated her as a good friend and tried to get to know her she wouldn’t be under any illusions. In this latest episode he did just that. They played games, they did the face mask.. and it was obvious to everyone there was literally no chemistry and it was platonic.. but mindy didn’t see it that way. She was hopeful. I can understand him not wanting to be around her 24/7 and get her hopes up even more while also providing an awkward situation for him or constantly having to put up walls because he’s not interested. He really has no choice but to reject her because he’s not interested in her? So you say he’s being a gentleman by not outright saying it’s her looks and he’s trying to be a good guy... I don’t see how either of that translates to him being an ass. Yes, he is hurting her anyway, but that’s just a casualty of him not being into her, which isn’t his fault. I think he’s doing her a favor not building too much false hope. She won’t be surprised on decision day. She can want it all she wants but just because he signed up for this show doesn’t mean he was going to be into her. Look how rarely this works.

Fair. This seems to be the season of talkers, where we hear sentences and don't get any actual responses.

I still cannot believe the egg shells.

People who compost keep the shells. Usually in a separate container though. A friend of mine does this. He probably crushes them and uses them as a face mask or something. Not to mention he put his cooked eggs in the dirty bowl he used to crack and mix them!

I didnt see that he re-used the same bowl. That's unbelievable.

I read that Mindy told him on the honeymoon that they should divorce and see other people. That seems more true than what is supposedly going on. I know they have to honor their contract and make it look like they are trying. I think Mindy is smart enough to read the writing on the wall. They are just going through the motions until decision day. She’s not some 15 year old hoping that he will like me. I give her more credit than that.
