Monica's mom out here trying to steal her snowflake. I want to meet this woman who saw Mary's family situation (and Mary's personality situation) and decided, "Yeah, I want to marry into that."

"I want to drop kick her." Oh, get out of here, Erin. We've all seen how you fold, run away, and go crying to your dad with a modified version of the facts when someone pushes back. All smoke, no fire.

Lisa "where are my accolades" Barlow. She's the original and the parody all at once.

I don't necessarily doubt the legitimacy of any of them being sick since new covid strains have been going around, but I do have questions. Namely, if Brynn was sick and quarantining, then why was someone there filming her? And where was Brynn staying where she could be filmed, since she supposedly isn't allowed to film in her apartment?

Next time Whitney and Justin call a family meeting, maybe they should have a conversation with each other first to get on the same page. Also, what is Whitney doing that she couldn't take time out to pick up the kids if they need to be picked up? She "runs" her own "business," correct? She can't make her own hours?

41 minutes late for lunch???? I would be pissed. And yet Sai is such an asshole that if I had to pick a side, it would still be Jessel's.

In fairness, as a child Ubah was separated from her mother and sisters for several years due to war in Somalia and only reunited with them once they were all in Canada when she was a teenager. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some residual trauma from all that informing her reaction to phonegate and the thought that she might not be able to reach her family. I've really come around on Jessel through the course of the season. I found her annoying at first, but now that I know that she's making a list and checking it twice, I kind of can't wait for her reunion performance. Will there be poster board? A Power Point presentation? A list of grievances annotated with dates and times?

What? You don't believe the person who got on the phone and relayed a version of the story where she gave Ubah the phone back within 2 minutes when there's video evidence of that not being the case? Love that Erin left in a huff after Ubah revealed something Erin said about one of the others in private after the whole drama Erin made about Jenna flying down on her own. She is a textbook example of someone who can dish it out but can't take it.

Hoping that someone with a better memory can help me out. During Lucy and Maxi's fight, Maxie said that Lucy got her 1% of ELQ from Alan, but my recollection is that she got the shares from Scott. Am I misremembering?

Come on, guys. Don't drag Chad into this. How does Meredith become this invested in the idea that this is "her" trip when everyone there and everyone watching at home knows that this is Bravo's trip and every cast member was going to be invited - by which I mean contractually obligated to attend.

.. Did Mary just walk away from Angie and Whitney and go all the way around the entire pool just to end up five feet behind them? Shine on you crazy diamond.

Erin: "I'm chill." I'm 💀 And now she's going to claim in her confessional that she's "intimidated" and "scared" of Ubah? Interesting given that in the group footage she started the fight by trying to lay down the law with her by telling her not to say her name when she's not around. Didn't seem very scared or intimidated in the moment.

You answered your own question. Brynn needs to stop sexually harassing the guy on the boat. It's not cute. No one has ever suffered the way that Sai has suffered. She's the holder of every record in the suffering Olympics and no one else should bother claiming they have experienced hardship because no matter what that hardship is, she had it worse. I'm sorry for Jenna and Ubah that they aren't on vacation with some better people.

Re: Monica Testified against Jenn Shah, married the same guy twice, slept with her brother-in-law for 18 months before feeling guilty about it, gay dad. All this and she's only been in two episodes.

Brynn was also clearly doing a bit to enhance the story when she said that she started scrolling through her contacts. It's what people do when they're trying to entertain their audience, which I wouldn't expect Erin, who provides guests with neither food nor heat and calls it a party, to understand.

Erin is insufferable.

Everyone else: Jessel, tell us about yourself. Jessel: proceeds to share her family's story. Everyone else: Why is she telling us all this stuff? There is no pleasing this group of women. They are just looking for things to be annoyed about.

Being hungry all the time is not the same thing as having a personality, Sai.

So we can study her a bit more before she returns to her home planet? I can think of no other reason. Funny that Lisa said they didn't leave off on a bad note and then proceeded to read a series of very mean texts that Mary sent her.

The rest of the cast: Jenna, you have to share and be vulnerable Jenna: shares something with Erin Erin: Hey, guys, let me tell you what Jenna said. What a bitch right? These women are not nearly entertaining enough to get away with being so openly the worst versions of themselves. I think this is exactly what's going on. They need the show, Jenna's just using it to give herself an extra boost and they hate her for it. When they were talking about her giving gifts so that she'd get free promotion from them, I was like "... Y'all collectively barely have 1 million followers and half that is Sai" (when this was filming, at any rate; they likely have more now, but still). Jenna is not using you to clout chase. In that clip they showed of Jenna, I didn't even hear her name them, it sounded like she was just saying those were the gift bags she was giving to people in her life. Lol, I was thinking during that scene when Jenna showed up that the rest of them seemed to be putting on an amature production of Mean Girls. Erin's talking heads where she's delighting in having gotten the other women mad at Jenna was giving 100% pure cackling hag.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Briefly interrupted by: WTF? is Erin's dad adjusting her boobs?

No difference. At Kelly's the price isn't determined by the cost of the ingredients, but by how much Carly feels you owe her for giving you some of her attention.

I'm going to offer another theory: Brynn is extremely insecure because she's a pretender and worried about being exposed and this manifests itself as 1. Acting like certain things are beneath her (the "I would never be caught dead at [redacted] business" from the first episode) in order to sell the persona she wants to adopt for herself; 2 (a) Fixating on any perceived difference in how she's treated versus how someone else is treated (the underlying fear being, "Am I being treated different because they know I'm not one of them"); 2 (b) Trying to get everyone else to fixate on how someone else is supposedly treated differently so that that person will be the "outsider" so that she isn't playing that role herself, and attention will be deflected away from her so that she's not getting too much scrutiny. I've seen articles which claim that she's either the richest of the cast or the second richest after Jenna, but based on what we've seen I find that very suspect. I'm fully prepared to be proven wrong as the season goes on and Brynn demonstrates that she lives a lifestyle on par with her castmates, but as of right now I think that either she's one of those people who is wealthy on paper but not in cash (like how Elizabeth Holmes was considered a billionaire based on her ownership of Tharanos before that house of cards collapsed) or that she's not even wealthy on paper but has managed to bluff her way to this point regardless. She's sure earning that paycheck then.

Lol, I was coming to post this. I know times are rough, but wardrobe couldn't have given him two T shirts for this episode?

Five minutes in: Has Erin never hosted people before? Why is she so surprised that they want things like food and heat? Jessel is such an a-hole (while being completely oblivious that she's acting like an a-hole) that I'm halfway convinced that she's been possessed by the spirit of Ramona I'm guessing that Jenna didn't actually have a 6:30 call (because if that was scheduled and you didn't want to disrupt everyone else's sleep, wouldn't you mention that to Erin from the beginning?), but was just using that as an excuse because she was feeling overwhelmed and needed a quiet place to recharge. Still, she shouldn't have tried to sneak out.
