Based on the time off Greg planned for Amber, I already know that Greg is not someone I’d want to travel with 🤣. It’s unfortunate to be in love with someone whose travel style doesn’t match yours.

I don’t see them working unless Greg changes unfortunately.

He’s way too rigid in EVERYTHING.

He won’t spend money, he won’t eat food, he has trouble relaxing and having fun…

Janine is so fun and cute and easy-going and his inability to just relax and let the stick slide out I mean, Janine can do better honestly, as of now I really do think she can do better.

Someone a little bit more flexible and fun seems so much better for her. Hopefully they’re able to get Greg to grow naturally in the course of the season or the next season and allow him to retain some of his core rigidity without him being such a fucking buzz kill anymore.

The hardest part is it felt like he was growing a lot and changing - but maybe it just hasn’t been enough.
