bref

For YEARS, my husband and I have randomly said "son of bitch. shit." to each other, and I had forgotten until I saw this clip where it had come from, so thank you for that :D

I remember hearing Sophie muse on her wedding day, "Oh well, if it doesn't work out, we'll just get a divorce", and thinking there's a marriage that's gonna last. 😁

But she was really pretty! *head smack*

He says yes, and he told Citra--she says he claimed he didnt follow through because the girl did something that turned him off. To be continued...

Thank Jebus!

Did I see a glimpse of TJ and Kimberly in that HEA ad? Who is casting this mess?

Me too! She is a lovely young lady. I'd have been yelling I JUST DID MY JOB!

Horrifying! The racist old lady, Veronica trying to be coquettish, the guy who got catfished, Chantal, CRAZY NATALIE *AGAIN*? It's like they don't want people to watch!

Man, I gotta start watching the Afterparty episodes--there's definitely some revealing stuff on there. But I cannot bear Keisha!

MY EYES!

Of course Lindsay is problematic, but the right-couch coven did themselves no favors acting like a middle-school clique. And why are they all pretending Danielle's actions and reactions to the engagement were normal and not batshit crazy?

On reflection, it appears the Americans tacitly stuck together--hence no criticism of Jen, Nicole or (ack) Kris, but plenty for their mates. I was kind of interested in the details of Gabe's transition and function, but it was done so awkwardly and definitely is not something everyone wants to hear about. Nor were Gabe's many opinions in general. Rishi was treated abominably, but even worse was that his family was. I still like Isabel I guess?

My enjoyment of Debbie just disappeared with the quickness.

Was anyone else jolted by Maroun's use of the word "boobs" instead of breasts? Seemed completely out of character.

And what's up with this pose?

Heh, that reminds me that Leah from Teen Mom 2 named her daughters Adalynn, Aleeah, and Aliannah *smacks forehead*

As many others have mentioned, my attention drifted so much during this episode that I think I may have missed significant chunks of what passes for "action." Did Airris and Jasmine meet with the sex "therapist" and/or do any of the "sexy activities"? That must have been awkward as hell.

My least favorite that has become increasingly common: "Don't take it personal." On topic, I can't help but like Gabe, Isabel, and her kids, and I really wish them well.

Keisha read a tweet from viewer "Mona from Chicago" early in the show--I don't remember what the comment was, sorry--and the later reference to her was a callback joke.

Cameron's sister seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

Heh, I just noticed I started this topic! Literally no memory of that. Anyhoo, here's an update on the thrilling Season 10 Ben-centered triangle. ;) https://starcasm.net/below-deck-leigh-ann-ben-dated-lived-together/?fbclid=IwAR24Ic2AAmeXtCxky6F1AFi1CjTfbKIwykMZkpQxQLVBb-1oqpX_HgqwZWg

Jamie's "sick kid" post was from last June. She has it pinned on her Insta. 😒 She positions it as a "listen to your mama instincts" lesson, like the razor burn post was positioned as "love your body" encouragement. Bitch, please.

Just checking, crazy stabby stabby woman is the same one who was running around in a unicorn onesie in the first episode, right? Yikes. I couldn't believe Danielle literally made Yohan carry her purse. Well, I can, actually, because she's the WORST. What a harridan. Does she really have children? I kinda dig Debbie. She and Ousama might be a match, he's definitely a little offbeat and so is she. I like his art and her style. 😄 The bigger 1000-lb sister is getting proposed to? WTF? She's a nasty piece of work. Meanwhile, my gorgeous, smart, funny niece can't get a date!

I didn't find Mack and his "I love boobies" declarations to be particularly mature either. It sounds like Chris is saying in the preview that he asked for someone thicker than he usually dated. Maybe because he was feeling out of shape himself, as he indicated? I don't trust this to be what they want us to think it is.
