I wish Alyssa would climb off Kyle long enough this week to start asking around about what Joseph said and how much of it was true.

Sad, but true. I can’t imagine raising a kid with the mentality that not only does she have to be ok with being the butt of an international joke but that our family’s financial survival depends on it. Maybe they wouldn’t have to worry so much about building up her confidence if they hadn’t spent the last 10 years letting it be torn down for a paycheque. I do think Pumpkin and Josh are serious when they say they don’t want this life for Ella. That being said, while I don’t think she would seek out opportunities to monetize her kid I do think she’s probably very easy to manipulate and people like Gina know that. Keeping Ella out of the spotlight may very well come down to Josh being firm on what they’ve decided and not backing down. So basically, Ella’s doomed.

The problem is that Rebecca is a grown woman who doesn’t need her son taking responsibility for her and never did. Randall’s insistence that she needs him to take care of her is patronizing as all hell and it’s a big reason why I can’t stand him right now. It’s the same reason I can’t stand Jack either.

I would love to see it but I’ll be shocked if it ever happens. Can you imagine how hard that person would get dragged on social media?

I was going to say I feel like Amber was more in love with the idea of Matt than she is with Matt specifically. She wanted her “fairy tale” with a guy who was decent looking, financially stable, and could provide her with a life where she isn’t having to struggle. I’m sure she likes him but I also think she would have said yes to any guy who checked off all those boxes. I can’t really feel bad for Mark. Jessica wasn’t hiding the fact that she was hesitant about all of it and he chose to take the risk anyway. It doesn’t make it his fault that she backed out but he also knew there was a chance this could happen. Kenny and Kelly weren’t a surprise. Neither were Lauren and Cameron. Damian was kind of gross and patronizing talking to Giannina after everyone left the room. You already turned her down in front of her friends and family, you don’t need her to sit down so you can further tell her why she sucks and it’s all her fault.

Did Barnett really need to turn to reality tv to find a moderately attractive woman who would marry him, bring him mountains of debt to pay and sponge off him for the rest of his life? The fact that she immediately started talking about how it was their home the day she saw his house was a red flag.

I have so many problems with Jessica but I’m not sure why her mentioning wanting a prenup was such a shock to Mark. She has considerable assets and a significantly higher salary than he does and she should protect herself. Why is Mark still even there? He’s been with this girl for a week and they're already fighting almost daily? Walk away, Mark.

Rachel did sort of approach it on the deck when she told her mom that there are options and her mom shot that down right quick by telling her she would regret it for the rest of her life. It seems to be a common thread between the parents on all of the TM franchises. So many of them hear that their unprepared teenage daughter is pregnant and just assume that means she’s bringing home and raising a baby. The other options may as well not exist to them.

I wouldn’t have thought Hannah was being unfairly scored and criticized if everyone was being criticized but Ally was literally falling in her her final dance and still got heaps of praise and a perfect score. Id rather have seen Kel win but I don’t mind Hannah. I don’t follow the Bachelor or any of it’s spin offs so in my mind she’s basically Alexis Ren 2.0. She wasn’t the best but she wasn’t the worst either and at least it wasn’t Ally.

James sure got Juan Pabloed tonight, didn’t he? Ally seems like a sweet girl but if the judges were looking at the entire season the way they claimed there’s no way she should have been saved again. I want to believe that James was a mercy elimination but if he was no one let Emma in on it. She looked destroyed when they were picking apart his first dance. I’m ok with Kel and Whitney winning, he’s shown huge improvement and I wanted her and Milo to take it last season anyway.

I feel like this is going to come back to bite her in the ass soon. Everyone else is taking criticism and learning and getting better and Ally is just getting bland praise with no idea of where she needs to improve. If Spicer’s exit means her scores go back down to what they should be it’s going to be a shock for her and she doesn’t have the audience votes to keep her out of the bottom two week after week.

If Jenna’s face during the results was any indication, so did she.

Was Jack shown the Kemi clips? I thought the Kemi stuff was alluded too but the clips he was shown were mostly him talking about Bella. Even if he did tell them when they got to jury, they likely thought that if Julie hadn't said anything to them on eviction night like she did to Jack they were safe. If they wanted to go down this route last night I agree they should have shown the exact clips they were talking about so no one can claim they don't remember what was said. I have a regular who orders an XL half french vanilla/half 4*4. I can't get up the nerve to try it to see if its as disgustingly sweet as I think it is. We also have a guy who orders a small 2 cream, 9 sugar every day.

As much as I love Jackson getting blindsided, its kind of shitty to ask Kemi if she accepts apologies from people who aren't even sure what they're apologizing for and I'm glad she said something.

I don't think it's fair to say she cheated because she didn't but I do agree that it wasn't a win by anything other than default. If, by some miracle, she does make it to final 2 she'd be smart to not mention her second HoH at all and just stick to the one HoH and one veto she won legitimately. I will admit that after Cliff fell I wanted her to tell Holly to stay up there and let them fight it out honestly . At the end of the day there's $500 000 on the line and a guaranteed ride to final 3 is always going to look more appealing than some vague concept of a moral victory and a 4th place finish. I don't hold Nicole to a higher standard than the rest of them so I won't criticize her for taking an advantage that was made available to her. Given Cliff's sudden need for "loyalty" Holly could stand a chance. Her deal with them was to throw HoH, which she did, and veto. They can't prove she didn't throw veto since she didn't win and was alone while competing. On paper she upheld her entire deal with C&N where Jackson didn't. I will laugh so hard on finale night if it turns out that Holly has been faking the dutiful girlfriend act the whole time to get Jackson to bring her along. He's so confident that it's a slam dunk against Holly, imagine if she just eviscerated him in her answers and speech to the jury while he sits there dumbfounded.
