Terrace House: A Reminder of Life & Love (or, Why I Like This Show.)
There’s something painful about watching a guy shoot his shot when we know he’ll get rejected. Or seeing a girl talk about who she likes in front of someone that’s into her. Or learning that the timing is off for a promising couple. You almost want to yell: “You idiot!” “No, baby don’t do it.”…
