In the sixth episode, Joanne and Morgan’s podcast is floundering, with fans losing interest in Joanne’s more vanilla content. Desperate to fit in with Joanne’s world, Noah reluctantly joins her for a binge-watch of Vanderpump Rules. But the real challenge comes when Joanne’s parents, including her father’s new boyfriend, come for a visit.
In an effort to impress, Noah awkwardly changes his look—complete with a sport jacket and flowers—which Joanne absolutely hates. His nervous energy and terrible jokes leave her cringing throughout dinner. Meanwhile, Sasha makes a quick move to become vice president of his dad’s business, a subplot that resolves faster than expected.
Joanne and Morgan discuss Noah’s “ick”—the idea that small quirks can ruin a relationship—while they relax by the pool. But the real turning point comes when Noah confronts Joanne about her feelings, admitting he just wanted to make a good impression. This genuine moment brings Joanne back to Noah’s side, resolving their tension almost as quickly as it started.
This episode leans heavily on awkward interactions and relationship “icks,” but it feels like the show is starting to run out of steam. The tension between Joanne and Noah over his efforts to impress her family is played out in a light-hearted way, but the stakes feel low. The conflict is wrapped up too neatly, making it hard to stay invested in their ups and downs.
Similarly, Sasha’s subplot about becoming vice president feels rushed and underdeveloped, with no real payoff. Overall, Episode 6 struggles to add depth or conflict, and while it’s still watchable, it’s clear that ‘Nobody Wants This’ is coasting without much direction.
