>>88586965I loved L&P in the chapter where Lucy gets sick and Paulo carries her around but the ship's gone downhill since then.
beyond chemistry, I think Augustus' modesty (compared to e.g. Mike) and deep need for affection/acceptance make him a good match for Lucy. With Mike the two are too focused on power games and getting the upper hand, so there's no foundation of respect. Meanwhile Paulo doesn't have the intense drive for commitment that Lucy does and doesn't read her moods and thoughts that well in comparison to Augustus (who's sharp as a tack).
Best endgame would be Paulo with Rachel (or even Daisy, honestly), Lucy with Augustus, and Mike with Sandy provided they solve their stupid issues. Then Jasmine shows Abbey the power of Christianity (which seems like it'd be beneficial for him in particular).
