You really think she’s not jealous, after all the hints and moments lately?

Okay...Sarah obviously having a thing for Jacob aside. Is Joyce pushing so hard for them to get together cuz they're both Black? Cuz yikes...

The Aphro Chick

I hadn't considered this going the way it is, but I have to say I really would like to see Dorothy in a relationship with someone who is a) into things like she is (academics, big plans, etc), and b) isn't someone that she's going to be taking care of (sorry Joyce shippers, that would not be healthy right now, maybe later). From what we've seen of Jacob this semester he knows how to set healthy boundaries, so Dorothy wouldn't be in the caretaker role (like she was in her prior relationships AND is currently in her friend relationships). Oddly enough it might be able to be a healthy pairing. Also, I don't think Joyce is jealous of the idea of Dorothy and Jacob, it is that she is jealous on Sarah's behalf as she REALLY wants Sarah to get with Jacob. I do want to see Sarah with Jacob as well, but much to my unexpected foreseeing surprise, I wouldn't be opposed to Dorothy and Jacob. I have a spot for Dorothy in my heart and I really want to see her stabilize a bit - and have someone to support her.

Why would Joyce ship Dorothy with anyone other than herself?

Andrea Andrew

That's cowards talk!

Wow, Joyce really had the climbing instinct, and if its an improper place to climb Joe when he's sweaty and scantily clad, better use... This

It could be fixed at that angle, but it looks adjustable to me.

That's a sit up bench, currently adjusted to a rather extreme angle. Pull the legs apart, and the angle will lower.

The fitness conquistador has met her match Also, Joe and Joyce gossiping about shipping their friends totally is something they'll get into

I'm a bit confused by this post. Who's the "her"? And is the "him" Walky or Jacob?

Rob McBobson

That would be good for Sarah but the point is that she can't have that if she isn't willing to be emotionally vulnerable and try to have a genuine bond. (And also the fact they might want different things, Sarah mostly being physically attracted to Jacob and him wanting a more emotional connection).

Jeremy AR

I can confirm that that is in no way a real exercise machine, it does not exist, it is an attempt to play a prank on the nerds

E Lyons

While I'll always respect Willis's plans for plots regardless of where they go, I do hope that Sarah and Jacob get together. I want Sarah to have a little love in her life, and they'd be cute together.

Rob McBobson

I wonder if Joyce liked Jacob because, secretly, she saw a lot of Dorothy in him, and since Dorothy was initially dating Walky when she started crushing on Jacob.

Andrea Andrew

That is clearly a musculo-lateral glute enhancer. Anyone who has ever done a fitness would know that.

Uniquitous

The torture device seems to be intended for very steep situps with the feet between the padded protrusions. Joyce is probably going to break her entire body this time.
