    Catie and Josh:

    Why find a place to live when you can reminisce over the map of bodily fluids on your college mattress whilst making cake-pops with your hands?

    Marissa and Edward:

    Marissa says yes to the dress, and Edward says yes to circumcision! (That sounds like two equal levels of commitment!)

    Shea and Anabelle:

    When you make a love connection with an age-appropriate woman, why not dress her up to look like your daughter?

    Mallorie and Rasit:

    Why live in a picturesque Mediterranean coastal city when you can live amongst the beer-funneling fanatics of Athens, Alabama?

    Ashia and Maxwell:

    Although it's great to have God on your side, sometimes you just need a lawyer! (And the blood the blood the blood)

    How functional is a beer can when used as a hair curler?

    Shea and Anabelle:

    Once a cheater, always a cheater?

    Debby and Mido:

    Can a 41 year-old virgin satisfy a grown woman?

    Maxwell and Ashia:

    Does a Pentecostal Prophetess have an invested interest in making sure her predicted love story (fairy tale?) comes true?

    Paula and Thomas:

    How long until they're fighting in a furniture store?
