No one mentioned my favorite moment (but I haven't been reading the live thread). When Benjamin and Akinyi separated at the airport, the Enya-lite airy vocal and synth music lyric subversively commenting on the fact that Benjamin calls her something else because he can't pronounce her real name?

I guessed she was going to say "shiny" but laughed heartily at clear as well.

Tim would also kill Rebecca and Tom and marry Avery's mom.

I was thinking that and drawing conclusions from it also, but I think that producers give them suggested questions to advance a storyline, or maybe a few different questions to advance a few different storylines. So maybe there was a whole storyline about Tim not liking guava and JJeeniiffeerr liking guava and in an unaired clip of the conversation Veronica asked how the guava was in Columbia, but the guava fight never materialized and other more interesting things did so the guava material was shelved. Therefore I am not sure whether Veronica would definitely have asked on her own, and thus can't really make an inference from it (which would be: Veronica knows Tim has big issues.) Good example of this: I thought "where did you get the ring" was 100% a producer-fed line. Who would ask that, as opposed to "how did you know what I would like" or "can we get this resized and a lot more diamonds added" or "what made you pick this ring for me" or whatever? I know JJ's into brands, but I imagine between the mountaintop and the spa (maybe while Tim was sleeping, he was so tired...) she'd have taken the ring off and look for an engraved "Tiffany" or something if she really cared, and not seeing it there, why does she care if he went to Kay or Jareds? That's what she's chatting about randomly a day later? It was clearly that the producer who miked her up (ok, maybe not, because water) faux-innocently and/or directly (I'll give you $100 extra if you ask...) said "hey, where did he get the ring? you don't know? you should ask! also ask if he wants to do the guava facial mask!"

So, with everyone consenting and willing, you, Tim and Jjeeniiffffeerr, accidentally fail to have sex at night at least two times because you (or one of you) are so tired. You wake up in the next morning, everyone is still consenting and willing. Do you: 1) Have sex, 2) Have sex, then have a spa day, 3) Have sex, then do anything else (except the giant swing, of course), or 4) Heed the Colombian rule that I guess exists against daytime sex? and so just go to the spa.

Maybe just saying it isn't enough if they know you don't understand what you're agreeing to.

Right. And, um, when he's dry broke and you are his wife, then guess what? Does she not understand how time works, aka in a forward direction?

“Did you really pull the word ‘adventacious’ out? That’s a really $5 SAT.” Immediate divorce.

This was me and Kate and "feelming" (you know, when people are pointing cameras at you) last episode. What was that? Not a Philly thing. For some reason, I noticed this a lot during a talking head with Stephanie, where she said "I just need to figure out if I can deal with it when he gets mad" and they added "frustrated" and "or" before the "mad" - I feel like they are playing down anger and just showing ha ha how he walks out of a room when he has to pick up kettlebells too much. I don' t think you're recognizing the fact that AJ will have to eat at some point. ALONE. I don't know if the preview for next week is considered a spoiler so I am spoiler-protecting this comment. @drogo just edit it out if it's not ok?

I have to admit that I didn’t care as much about the actual confrontation as I did seeing Michael “swoosh” down and out of the thruple graphic where previously one woman or the other would be swooshed off to the side. After that the confrontation was anticlimactic. (And badly edited and hard to understand, imho, but still nothing could follow the swooshing away of Michael.)

I watch this for fun, but Lizzie's behavior during the elevator walkout and Michael's during the call with Sarah were just painful. Just a master class on gaslighting and never owning up to your own behavior, and deflecting. Painful. Awful. Ugh. I agree that Marcelino and Brittany are boring, but I'll take their magic engagement over having to see any of that again. I did not understand the description of where the magic phone hiding spot is. That's ok with me, really, no one needs to step up and explain it.

The car can get repossessed super easily but the clothes are her parting gift, hers to keep - thanks for playing - until she’s incarcerated again.

Maybe he wasn’t a leopard to begin with?

Sarah said it was a "consensus" decision between Michael and the parole officers. Such an odd phrasing in this context.

You could try to picture the parking space with Lizzie in it, and she's ... no, never mind.
