Something about this rings true to me. Both Jesse & West strike me as opportunists. Jesse's immediate attraction to Lexie made sense but his dogged pursuit & quickness to declare exclusivity, along with the near constant gripes about jealousy, scream storyline. I get where Lexi feels played. Jesse is telling her one thing while telling anyone who will listen a different story. Good on Amanda for calling it out. Watch Ciara lean absolutely nothing from this & allow Jesse to play with her feelings next season... They should have more special guests. Not a huge Schwartz fan but having him there brought a new dynamic. Carl & Kyle seemed lighter having an age appropriate friend to paly with 🤪

Lara was on WWHL on April 7th (with Mzi from Med).

What a depressing ass show. Jax most definitely needs rehab but Brittany's not much better. They're both terrible, toxic people. The fact that she wanted that drama on camera, with her son in the house no less, says something. 100% monetary. Location, baby. It's less expensive the further you get from LA. Plus, it's Danny & Nia who moved. Jesse's the only one who actually lives in Hollywood. Oh, I guess Michelle too since her new place is close to the house he kept when they split. Ok, so who was Jesse dating?

I don't see an issue with Lara. She's not my fave but Tzarina's just so prickly & weird. It's like she expects this immediate bond/lifelong friendship & when than doesn't happen, she declares the person her enemy in her head $ views everything they do a personal attack. She was treating Alesia like crap because she dared to be friendly with other people so suddenly she was an enemy who needed to be punished. Plus, I can't forget how she shared what Johnny said to make Henry cry just so she could hang all over him. Finally, on the plates. I've watched long enough that I've seen multiple chief stews discuss plating with the chef & suggest different options based on the table decor. Tzarina being personally offended that Lara wanted white vs. blue plates was over the top IMHO. Nick is cute. I thought they both looked like pageant contestant rejects in those ball gowns.

Need to admit, I may have cried a bit watching Ryan & Bentley on the deck. Ryan was so clear headed & honest, apologizing to his son for the years of not being there, acknowledging that Maci was right to protect him. Loved every minute of that scene, Amanda seems to be a calming influence & I can't help but root for them. Bentley & Leah's girls are so grown up! Driving? Where does the time go?

The last model year of Ford Focus in the US was 2018. But it's still produced & sold in Europe, the vast majority are manual transmissions. Didn't realize how much they'd eliminated self-driving from the show until Phil made such a big deal about it being the first of the season...and we're 7 episodes in. It adds so much, this felt more like an old school episode & I loved it.

Brittany spending ten years with Jax tells me she's no prize either. She may be nice but dumb as a box of rocks. They deserve each other IMHO. None of these people, sans Kristen maybe, are as interesting as think they are.

Eh, I find the ones belittling her age or alluding to babysitting to be the insufferable ones. Watching Austin talk about their alliance & gleefully claim that he plans to backstab her first chance he gets only to then pout & complain when she did it first was pure karma gold. Sad to see Becca go but her anxiousness was hard to watch.

I feel like Paige complaining about Craig & sharing doubts about their future ON CAMERA while not clueing him in was strategic as hell. Her anxiety stemmed from knowing the footage was a ticking time bomb & she'd have to break up with him before it eventually aired. Ciara's turned into such a hater. Let Imrul bang who he wants, how does it even affect her?

^ especially since there's another daughter. Wonder how she feels?

Bravo's like a broken record. Every damn show now starts by teasing some big dramatic event & uses the season to lead up to it. Yawn. Literally, yawn. I was so bored, I flipped over to the end of Coal Miner's Daughter during a commercial & completely forgot what I was watching. I wish Janet had stayed with the blond hair, I can't tell her apart from Michelle & the other one. Much like the two short guys who look alike. I just know one's often angry while other tells a lot of Dad jokes.

Alesa's not the reason Johnny was asked to leave, he is. He frightening lost his temper punching a cabinet & scaring many of the crew. His reaction is all on him. That said, I do wish Jason might've taken into account how immediately contrite he was & given him a warning. Also not going to shame Alesa for having interest in the new bosun. She'd met Johnny what, a week ago? They're not married. Tzarina is like a bottomless pit of need or validation. I get secondary embarrassment just watching her.

The show's reportedly been renewed for S11 with cameras going up this month. Best news, no Leva, now Taylor announces she's leaving been fired. Please let Rodrigo be next!!

From memory, Billie Lee burned bridges with nearly all of the cast & LVP. She disappeared for a few years, resurfacing after Scandoval where she hung onto Tom like a sycophant. When he started dating his current girlfriend. she ran to the paps with stories of how they were toxic & doing drugs. Never a fan, she always so insufferable, acting like everyone owed her something or should cater to her every whim.
