And I think he actually was one of the few guys who actually was enamored by Amber. I think editing made it seem like he was trying to be a player type, I think in reality he is just a big kid, and very indecisive and somewhat insecure. Yes this was explained many times. I am thinking he seemed like he was having second thoughts once he really got to know her and was just keeping it going for the show and maybe fame.The anonymity of the pod probably made him feel more relaxed. • Jessica felt blindsided when Barnett told her he wasn’t ready to propose to her. But I think she is a decent person overall. The love triangle between Jessica, Mark, and Barnett was *a lot*. Barnett: I’m sorry. Too self centered.Yesss, he literally said “if there were no other guys and no other girls in here, I would marry you”. In regards to Amber, I think she is still just immature and not really “cultured” in this world so that’s why she sometimes rubs people the wrong way. I think her actual last name is long and hard to pronounce. And it's one of the reasons why she didn't chose him. He explains to EW what his thought process was.
Can't even remember now.I agree with this and on the flip side I also feel that the closeness outside the pods allowed him to be more relaxed as well, which comes with more time together.Also, I really liked his calm, chill self after the pods better.Loved your response . I don’t think he was trying to be cool or a player. Imagine if you didn’t have to see a person I think your normal personality is either suppressed or enhanced... depending how introverted or extroverted you naturally are. When Jessica asked Barnett in the pods if he was ready to propose, he said “maybe,” with a laugh and she went off on him and basically said, “fuck this.” He looked genuinely regretful as though he recognized the mistake.
I talked about all the concerts I’ve been to and places I’ve seen. The world is full of other girls Barnett. I don't think it necessarily meant he was having second thoughts when you consider the exceptionalness of the whole situation... even though (obligatory Amber-bashing line I apparently have to include in every comment I post on this sub): I still don't understand how anyone can be into Amber and I don't think I've ever been so annoyed with a person :) but!
That’s why he was all over the place on the show. It's a good strategy to make him more memorable in the pods and also makes him seem more unique than his first name. I think his personality is just kinda sexual and flirty and not seeing a person only enhances that. He’s a big kid and someone like her would never force him to grow up. He basically said "if you were the last human* on earth, I'd totally propose to you!"Also of note: Barnett would apparently be “sophisticated” and other bullshit that frat boy is not if he had chosen her? No relationship is perfect... the ones that last take compromise, EFFORT and willingness to want to grow and fight for relationship.
