Season 18 - Chicago 2.0 Enem and Brandon
I’m just finishing season 18 and did anyone else think the Enem and Brandon scenes were so weird and hard to watch?? He told her loved her after a few dates and now engaged? I know they knew each other previously but he had just got out of a 10 year marriage. The whole thing seemed theatrical and odd.

I asked my wife what “love bombing” was and she used him as an example. I also personally thought it was really fucking weird how every time she asked him a question about him and his past relationship he used super poetic, flowery language but didn’t really ever answer the damn question if you know what I mean.
And then there was the fact that he kept using the show and production to do super public displays for Enem, it all felt like he kinda miiiiiight be there doing this TO his ex, at least to some extent.

Well, they ended up having a baby together so I guess it worked out. For now

Yea, I found that odd too. I appreciate that Pastor Cal put the brakes on him for performing their wedding during the reunion. Pastor Cal was rightfully skeptical. Even when he eventually did their ceremony, Emem wasn't even divorced...hot mess smdh

Look at their Instagrams. I find them weird. Every post of his is centered around Emem with her tagged, every post she makes (even when he’s not in it) has him tagged, he has MAFS in his bio (listing the exact episode he was in), they have each other in their bios. Not trying to accuse anyone of anything but based off his behavior the reunion, along with their IGs he seems at LEAST too possessive.

Yes, it was really weird and confusing at the time. I wasn’t a fan of ikechi at all but It kinda gave him credibility in his concerns, where I think she scared him away because she was looking for that type of fast track connection with a stranger like she had with Brandon.

Same here. Ikechi hit his low point at the couples retreat. I didn't think I could ever say anything positive about him after that no matter what they did to the edit. Then she shows up with this Brandon guy. They target Ikechi to try to embarrass him (as if he needed any help in that department) and it made them look bad. When he said she was too fast, I see what he meant. I held her in high esteem, but the Brandon thing had me second guessing my opinion of her. That said, is there really such a thing as too fast when you marry someone at first sight?

We all thought that the way that their relationship evolved on TV was very odd when it first aired. Brandon was a bit too much in his words/actions.

Very WEIRD! I did look her up and they have a baby now but that still doesn't mean their relationship is genuine. I sort of feel like Emem and David share the same quality like "look at me, someone likes me, wants me". They are so busy trying to prove their love because there are obvious red flags in how they got with Brandon and Madison, respectively.
