I enjoyed the episode and agree with those who said it's more true to Fiona's character from earlier seasons. Lip, Debbie & Carl are storylines I'm very invested in. I wish there was more going on with Ian. I get that he & Mickey = true luv, but it would be nice to see him meet some other people. As a lazy as I am at times, I watched a lot of the earlier seasons this weekend (thank you, Showtime). I miss the Fiona/Veronica relationship, as well as, the tightness that used to be there between Lip & Ian. I'm forever over all things Frank, as evidenced of my forwarding through 80% of his scenes.

So much this. I use the shows to research retirement locations. My favorite is Beachfront Bargain Hunters.

^this. You know it's bad when MTV burns off an episode, airing at 11pm on a holiday week.

The Oram, Utah to Birmingham, England episode featured (what I can only assume to be) a decoy apartment that was 100x better than the other two. It was a fantastic loft space that included an enclosed outdoor courtyard, There's no way if that apartment is truly available that they would've picked one of the other dumpy, small, apartment.

They suck so bad at this game. Wouldn't you think that they would've learned some things from watching seasons 1&2? Isn't that they put in the blackout rule? I'm incredulous that they don't even decide how they will pair up BEFORE the ceremony. Hello? I heaven't even heard them suggest or even mention that option. So stupid. Devin's a dick, but Kiki's such an idiot that it's hard to feel sorry for her. They banged in the common room in front of everyone? Nice. Couldn't they at least go outside like Chuck and that blonde chick? I really like Cheyenne, especially because she doesn't take herself too seriously. I hope to see her on a challenge.

I loved the Portland to Seattle guys. I also adored the houses they looked at, it's also nice to get away from the cookie cutter mansions in the Southeast and Midwest. They seemed like a great couple who picked a house that suited them both.

I remember seeing someone from an earlier session writing as well.

I'm watching. I love this show. Feel like this is going to be the first group to not complete the matches and lose the $$. They're clueless. I hope that KiKi gets stuck with cheater Chuck.

I thought Eddie already acknowledged the hookup in a talking head interview this episode...or did I hallucinate that?

Me too. Although I've stopped watching RHONJ and lately, most of the other franchises too, I still looked forward seeing the Guidices. They are paying the price for their actions. If you're not interested in watching, then don't. I don't understand coming here to write about how you're not watching. Obviously, you're interested in their lives enough to read the forums or start petitions or whatever. You do realize that helps drive support/ratings/interest in the show, right???

Adam has all the freedom he needs to change. However, until his actions actually match his words, he shouldn't expect people to blindly believe him. He's been an asshole for far too long. Additionally, until he knocks that huge chip off his shoulder and accepts responsibility for his actions (something he's still not doing IMHO) he hasn't changed one bit. He's still a selfish asshat who just exchanged one addiction for another. I still can't believe there was no mention of the creepy friend. Count me in the camp that thought Leah was on something. Her eyes had that manic look. I feel bad for Corey, it's obvious he wants a stable environment for the 'girlses'. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Adam has Aubrey only 4 days a month. Which is why his disappearing act Father's Day weekend is even more telling. Yes, he is her Father, which is why for all his talk of change, his actions continue to speak volumes. Until he shows that she is his priority and not "alone/gym time" (he & Nipples really are similar) or women on those 4 days of the month, why should he have more?

Adam did himself no favors. Even Sad Panda couldn't defend his behavior and attitude. I can't believe there was no mention of the creepy friend that appeared in every Adam scene this season. Leah's still a hot mess. I don't blame Corey for worrying about the girls. Dr. drew is doing them a terrible disservice by giving their mom such a pass on her behavior. Leah has plenty of people enabling her, no need to add to it. monkey, my ass.

Rachel & Puck together again, in honor of Diem. http://perezhilton.com/2015-09-30-real-world-diem-brown-ovarian-cancer-reunion#.VgxpN8tVhBc

I love that this show is back. Didn't know it was possible but they seem to have found even crazier folks this time around. From the previews, there certainly looks to be some drama. I'll be on the couch with my popcorn.

Sadly, I agree. He knows what he should be looking for but hasn't yet dated enough crazies to want to settle down. I just hope that he doesn't pick Fallon. I wish Kerri would've kept penis pump guy. I didn't think he was that attractive during their date but man, did I do a double take (and by that I mean back up the DVR and re-watch) at the selection ceremony. Dan, while arguably hotter than the young cowboy she sent away, seems far more immature. I do think his living in Tampa near Kerri is big reason why she finds him appealing though. He is easy on the eyes too. Where did penis pump guy live?

I was just coming here to post this. He was basically a mute on the show, so mouth closed, he is vaguely attractive. However, watching him smile or talk on the after show, he's fugly. His grill is jacked up.Edited to add Jaclyn looks like a 40 year old divorcee. At least she gave the droopy girls a little support on the after show. Oh, and I still adore Chris B. I don't know why.

^Not the same person. The raquel/rocky on laguna beach's last name was Donatelli.

Wow, they continually give Kerri the douchiest guys, of course she still has her eye on Chris. Can't they at least get her some eye candy???

Lil Bit was probably my favorite, but I like Hot Dog. I think most of Tiffany's issues with her stem from jealousy. Tiff was flirting hard with Daddy until Hot Dog showed up and got all the attention. Lauren doesn't count because she's just a Tiffany follower. If I could boot anyone it would be Lauren. She brings nothing, and the fake drama this episode was exactly that, fake. Wow, Mattie looks fantastic. I'll give her credit, she works really hard during their off time to get back into shape.

I am continually amazed by their chosen court attire. Granted, the only time I've been in court was fighting a minor traffic violation, but don't most people dress to impress? I certainly would, especially if I was trying to sway the judge's opinion of me. Chelsea really let me down. A camo jacket? Please. Does she not own a black or navy jacket? Maybe a skirt? Leah's a mess. I hope that her treatment center specializes in prescription drug addiction and wasn't one of those 'yoga will heal all on the cliffs of Malibu' BS places. I would've laughed at Adam getting arrested as well. While I hope for everyone's sake that he stays out of trouble, I don't support him having unsupervised visitation until he has a drivers license and doesn't have to rely on sketchy friends for rides. His chauffeur scares me. If I were Chelsea or Taylor, I wouldn't want him around my young girls.

Yay, Fallon's gone!!

My girl Kerri needs some wax for the upper lip. She's beginning to have a 5 o'clock shadow. Do they get a stylist?

I don't see her obsessing about him at all. If anything, she seems like she's really trying hard to find redeeming qualities in each of the men and seems quite hopeful that she'll find love...which I highly doubt, but hey, it's the show premise!
