Say what you will about Sutton's dress not being flattering on her, but damn... she has a really nice back. I had serious envy! Garcelle had to use tough love with Oliver and I applaud her for that very, very difficult decision. There was no way to enable his behavior, protect her other sons and herself as well. Drugs are demons (used to work for an alcohol and drug rehab) and sometimes hitting rock bottom is the only way up. And I'm sure Garcelle still had guilt, but she did what she had to do. She, Oliver and his family appear to have wonderful relationships today. Hi @Chit Chat! I have to respectfully disagree re Sutton. Sutton is who is on this show and I believe it's her right to share her feelings and struggles. She's never had validation from her mother and there isn't anything wrong with her saying she needs this still, even at her age. Relationships with our mothers really can make us or break us.

Thanks for the clarification! My recording cut off before the previews for next week so I missed this.

I think if Chloe and Saxon had hooked up already, we would've seen it. There really hasn't been any sex at all in this season so far compared to the past seasons. And... I'm confused. Does Belinda not know that Tanya is dead? Didn't she say when she was explaining to Pornchai that Tanya had left the White Lotus and never followed through on her offer to help Belinda with her own spa? If she doesn't know Tanya is dead, would she think Gary/Greg was a bad guy?

I could see them pushing Mark as the next Golden Bachelor. I can see the hype now over a former Bachelorette's father now having his own "journey" and chance at love. He is quiet yes, but what really does Joan bring to the table other than her body and looks? Nothing. She is not personality plus with any spark that I've been able to see. No great witty sense of humor... nothing. She's as bland as white bread with no butter. And I LOVE bread. I still see a Daniel Craig-Patrick Duffy mix-up when I look at Chock. He is giving Joan attention and showing he's really in to her. I think she wants that. But... maybe they're showing so much of him with her and less of the other men with her to throw us off who she really picks. They've done that before. Guess we'll see!

I know I'm in the minority here, but I like Chock for Joan. They have crazy chemistry together, more than I've seen with anyone else. Of course if he turns out to be a psycho I will deny ever having said this! Come on ABC and The Bachelor/Bachelorette producers... we need the Golden Paradise show!

Exactly. Many men love the chase. I would not be surprised if some of the bachelors are seeing Joan as a prize only because there are other men wanting her too. Don't get me wrong... she seems like a very nice woman, but still she hasn't shown much personality at all and not much emotion other than grief for her late husband and worry over her mother. And oof... that natural sunlight did her no favors at all on the horse riding date with 70's colored open shirt guy. Sorry... can't remember his name.

I see that.

Joan does seem kind, but that's about it. I'd really like for her to show some personality... a spark... a little bit of fire or humor... something. So far mostly it's just been a frozen face and much too long hair. Chock looks to me like a cross between Daniel Craig and Patrick Duffy. Mike reminds me of Brett Favre and Bob reminded me of Dick Van Dyke.

I'm really hoping Ky wins this one. She's humble and incredibly skilled and just seems like a generally all around nice person. And REALLY hoping Jeff does NOT win. Glad to see Trish go and I'm surprised Dani is still in there.

This was a bullshit move on Lesa's part and I would've royally ticked off had my husband been called to essentially tattle on me! That was incredibly childish and way out of line.

I know that alcohol freezer pop has been done. I may have bought them from Costco several years ago (don't judge! 😄) and a quick search shows there are a lot of them out there. You can get these at Wal-mart. And they look way better than whichever girl it was who promoted them as a new product. Now though... I REALLY want a soft baked pretzel!

Dear Naked and Afraid Producers, Please do not ever have Kate in another challenge. She does not need to be on my TV ever again. Signed, Suck it Kate and Now Go Away

Same. A little of Jeff and his obnoxiousness goes a very long way. Interesting though how the teams were paired up and no sharing of won survival items between the teams.

You're awesome @Yeah No!!!🥰 Thank you!

So weird! I like what's in the link you shared more than what I posted. That gives us more episodes! This silly show gives me happy!
