  1. I am with others who believe that Lu entered in to this relationship, her engagement, and her marriage with eyes wide open. She knows who Tom is and what he does. I just think that she has her bases covered and genuinely does not care. At this point, she wants the companionship and to be with someone like-minded. If he can still give her what he needs while stepping out with other women, then she's going to be okay with it. What baffles me is why the other women harp on it so much. I don't even think it is really out of jealousy. I just think that they don't understand Lu and why she doesn't clutch her pearls and walk away once she finds out about cheating. Bottom line: Everyone has different deal breakers in their relationships, and some people are not hell bent on having monogamy. Lu will never acknowledge that she doesn't care about monogamy because she knows the viewers will rip her to shreds for having an unconventional view on things, but in her first marriage, her relationship with Jacques, and now her marriage to Tom, I don't think monogamy has ever been there. The other women need to just let it go because I'm tired of hearing about it.
  2. But what is wrong with that? Isn't Ramona often a problem at gatherings? As Mozelle pointed out above, Lu doesn't want her at her wedding. Dorinda didn't want Sonja at the Berkshire's last year because she thought she might be a problem, and Ramona disinvited Sonja to her home because she wanted Dorinda there, and having Sonja there would be a problem. A person being a problem for whatever reason is usually the reason they get left off of some of the invites. I agree with you. The reason the women get pissed off about not being invited is not because they actually feel excluded or care to show up, it's because that is where filming is taking place. If they are disinvited/not included at events, it can jeopardize their involvement with the show because they are expected to be at as many filmed events as possible. They can get fired for not showing up. One example is Aviva, who refused to go on Housewife trips and got fired as a result. This is Carole's party. She can invite whoever she wants. BUT, I also know the real reason Ramona is pissed is because this is where the cameras are going to be on that night and if most of the other 'Wives are going to be there, it is one more instance where she can't get on camera.
  3. Shane and Laurel gone in one episode? At least I'll still have either Darrell or CT to cheer on at the end of this. I'm pissed one of them has to go home next week.
  4. MEAN. GIRLS. SHANE. He is my favorite. "You screwed Cory over! You screwed Cory over!" I was dying. I know he probably goes home next week, but if he does at least he went out in the best way possible-stirring shit up.
  5. Heather is almost too perfect. My boyfriend and I watch this together every week, and whenever she comes on, we both agree that she's amazing, but we're bored because it kind of just looks like two of the pros dancing. It's not exciting to watch a contestant's journey when they start out being able to keep up with their professional partner on all counts.
  6. Mean Girl Shane is the best Shane. I'm here for it.
  7. I noticed the crickets too and cracked up! I rewound it twice just to see CT's "are you serious?" to Johnny. CT has been the best part of this season. Completely agree with this she's been very pushy, especially towards Cara. I do not enjoy watching or listening to her. Was anyone else extremely creeped out during Laurel's walk through the house covered in blood? Agree about Nicole's aggressiveness. It has nothing to do with her being a woman either-I find it creepy when men are this pushy and aggressive towards people they want to hook up with as well. It's a sign of disrespect and a disregard to the other person's comfort level and boundaries. The episode where the champs moved into the house and Nicole pushed herself on Cara and offered her a spot in her bed made me cringe. Cara's discomfort was emanating off of her and Nicole was not getting it. I don't know--she just irked me from that point on. It's too bad because she's a great competitor and I have a feeling she's going to be a recurring cast member on this mess.
  8. THIS. THANK YOU. I find it really offensive that Nicole brags/showboats about possibly "turning" girls and making it a challenge/conquest. I'm all for owning your sexuality, and if these girls are interested in Nicole (the way Laurel seems to be), then they will show her that and respond to her advances without Nicole being as aggressive and disrespectful to boundaries as she appears to be.
  9. I'm okay with team members eating each other's food, but those that ate extra stuff should have gotten some kind of immunity or a head start in the race, and those that didn't finish their own food should be ineligible to win. I agree. Shane, for his willingness to eat extra and help the team, should have gotten immunity over Hunter. That is BS. So because Hunter was able to sprint up the hill faster, he was considered the winner? Then why couldn't it be a race where everyone has to eat their own curry and could leave whenever they were done? Doesn't seem right. Also agree with comments regarding Nicole and Hunter sitting on their ass during the puzzle portion. WTF was that? That would have pissed me off for sure. Yes, you have immunity, but you also just cost your team bank account money by not chipping in more. Those 2 should be voted in next time for that garbage alone.
  10. "I'm normally inspired and impressed by the people on my team, but in this case I'm surrounded by...losers."-Shane I have missed Shane and Darrell so much, you guys. I can't.
  11. I'll join you at at UO table. I'm disappointed they're going full Erika Jayne with her. I find Erika Jayne funny, but I wish she was just being herself, instead of her persona. My faves were Nick, Rashad, and David. I find Nick inexplicably sexy. And I thought Rashad and David just looked like they were having a blast. Their energy is infectious. I also really enjoyed Nancy and Heather. I don't particularly like Simone's personality and her dance was way too frenetic for me. She will win, which is disappointing, but at least it means Sasha will win. I like Normani's personality a lot and I thought her dance was decent, but I am so completely over Val. He's still hot though lol. I'm with the two of you! I watch RHOBH and I LOVE Erika. There's so much more to her than a raunchy alter-ego. It makes me sad they don't show more of that side of her!
  12. I am not ordinarily someone who complains about people with a dance background coming on here, but I do think it's ridiculous that Heather Morris gets to be a contestant. She's not just someone who had to learn dance as part of a bigger profession, like Simone Biles for example, but she is a professional dancer and was before going on Glee. She was hired on Glee initially to teach the choreography to Beyonce's Single Ladies to the cast and wound up becoming a character on the show. She's phenomenal, don't get me wrong, but it really irritates me that they're allowing someone who looks almost as good as the pros on the show to compete against the likes of a David Ross or Rashad Jennings, both of whom are not dancers but did a great job on their first routine. I'm bummed because she's obviously going to be either the winner or a finalist and her journey won't be as fun to watch because she's so awesome out of the gate.
  13. Also-one more thing. I don't know why the Underdog team is surprised that Shane is a decent competitor. I don't know if they have amnesia or are just too young to have watched, but the Road Rules kids always were better at the Challenge than Real World back when the two used to face off against one another. Road Rules was all Challenges. Shane has been through this experience more than many of the Underdogs. And he's athletic. I don't understand where the "surprise" is coming from...
  14. First of all, well done Darrell. I was so glad that he sent Zach home, although I personally loved/teared up at Zach talking about Knight. That was sweet. And I was pleasantly surprised at how kind and sweet he was to Jenna when she was upset. That being said, #TeamDarrell. I want him to win this thing so badly. I am a viewer who does not hate Bananas and finds him somewhat entertaining, and also have respect for his looking at the experience for what it is-a game-and playing strategically. I never thought what he did to Sarah was that bad, because at the end of the day she did it to him first and their friendship was more or less over. That he put their issues aside to get themselves to the end on last season Rivals was just a strategy and when he saw a chance to take all the winnings, he took it. Ruthless, yes, but not incomprehensible. I would, however, like to see his ass get sent home this Challenge, preferably by Darrell, who I personally feel is the only one who could do it. CT is a beast, but he's not what he once was physically (this is based entirely on what I've seen in more his more recent showings). One final note-I do adore Jenna. I really do. When she first started coming on this show, I thought she was a bimbo and she annoyed me, but her charm has really won me over. She seems genuinely sweet and sincere, and she's a fairly good competitor. I really want her to see her worth and I am disappointed that she's so hung up on getting back with Zach. It's hard for me to say she deserves better because she allows herself to get treated this way, but really she does. She just needs to get some self-esteem and know when to tell these clowns to piss off.
  15. Look I like Raven so I'm sure people think that's coloring my perspective but as a women who knows what those looks from a man mean I'm telling you that those times with Rachel, Kristina and Whitney were nothing compared to those caresses he was giving Raven. The only time I saw that look was with Vanessa and Raven. Which makes sense that they're the F2. Sure it's probably mostly physical but I don't think it's fair to say that there is no chemistry between them and just blindly dismiss her. I really don't know why people dislike her so much. Unlike Vanessa she got along great with all the other women. That speaks volumes to me. She strikes me as the friend that everybody would love to hang out with who although is fairly smart needs occasional guidance when it comes to men and learning the difference between being blindly honest and subtlety honest. I give Vanessa her due and although I know she's not everybody's cup of tea why can't people give Raven hers? I agree with you. I'm personally not a Vanessa or Raven fan, but I can sense that he definitely feels for both of them. I do see a deeper connection with Vanessa and him than I do with him and Raven, only because he seems to tackle deeper compatibility issues in conversation with Vanessa than he does with Raven. I think it's blindingly obvious that Vanessa was his favorite from the start, and that she was set to win this fairly early on, but I do also think he enjoys and loves being around Raven. I just see that he considers it a more casual, fun, lighthearted relationship and less something that he says any sort of future with. With Kaitlyn and Andi he took things to a deeper place (particularly with Andi) and he's doing that with Vanessa too. I don't see him getting deep with Raven. That is not to say that Raven isn't great or that her and Nick don't have a connection. I just don't see it being one he sees will last.
  16. Oh, Jenna. I was rooting for you. We were ALL rooting for you. If I were her, I'd perpetuate the Bruno rumor JUST to get under Zach's skin, because honestly he has no room to talk given that they weren't even together when this supposedly happened and thus should have nothing to say on the matter. She is SINGLE. Get it together, girl! If that's going to stop him from being with you, let it. He's the moron who messed it up in the first place. Shane is amazing. CT wins my heart every time he opens his mouth. I found myself getting emotional when he was talking about what a positive place he is now in his life. He's come so far and become such a great guy. Love you CT.
  17. According to Jasmine and Alexis, they said they weren't around for any of that drama and all of the women got along though all the girls had their own closer friendships among the group outside of the Corinne/Taylor issue. Both said that they thought was Vanessa was cool and Alexis said that she liked Vanessa from jump because she was the first girl of the bunch that took her costume in stride and having fun with her over it. What struck me is that Jasmine was on that group date and she claims that she was gone so I'm wondering if Jasmine was not in the area at the time of this tantrum or if there was actually something else that happened after that incident that both girls heard about it but weren't around to witness. Truthfully, the volleyball incident doesn't seem like such a big deal if it was really about Nick allowing a losing team to continue on with the date - it's not like he changed the rules from a one one one to a 6 woman date. Bachelors have done this before. And it also seems like a non-issue after the fact because whatever 'tantrum' Vanessa threw after being frustrated with losing and losing time with Nick, it seems like Rachel and possibly others threw their own tantrums about something or the other that happened in which case, it kind of cancelled each other out. It seems Raven was the only one that may have kept her cool on that group date. According to RS, a lot of issues surrounding Vanessa were left on the cutting room floor, probably because she is the winner. There was a massive fight with Rachel in Bimini where all the other girls sided with Rachel and then an incident earlier on where Vanessa told Nick she thought Danielle L was fake, and the other girls went after Vanessa because prior to that she had been acting like BFFs with Danielle L. So who knows what the truth is, but based on editing I can see how Vanessa was more of an issue among the other girls, even moreso than Corrine.
  18. I vaguely remember Trista telling Alex in season 1 that she had never had one...anyone else recall this?? She did! And then on her season of Bachelorette it became a big thing on FS dates because it was revealed Alex didn't give her one either. Funny how when it was Trista no one cares but with Raven she's getting so criticized for it.
  19. Agree whole-heartedly with this. I still sense something between them, and honestly both of them have borderline insufferable personalities that seem to fit well together. But it's not happening.
  20. Does anyone else feel like Vanessa and Andi resemble each other a bit? There are some pictures Vanessa puts on Instagram where I feel like they could be related.
  21. I would agree with this, if she didn't have a front row seat to the absolutely despicable way Zach treated Jonna (seriously, when BANANAS points out you're being disrespectful to women, it's time to rethink your choices), and decided to date him anyways. I have no patience for people who don't care if someone treats someone else like shit, as long as it isn't them. You raise a good point, but I think more than anything else that doesn't have to do with her being an equally crappy person and deserving it as much as she just has super low self esteem and doesn't know any differently. Jay treated her just as bad, if not worse, than Zach did. My whole point is the girl needs to know her worth and realize that she's way out of the league of any guy on this show. She seems like a sweet girl-she's just dim-witted and lacks the confidence to tell the Zachs to screw off. But yes, she did see this with her own eyes so the sympathy is limited.
  22. One thing I've noticed is that Bananas goes on and on about his record, which is 6 wins out of 13 challenge showings, this being his 14th. Not a bad showing at all, but he should be SCARED of Darrell, who won 4 out of 6 challenge showings, this being his 7th. The guy is no slouch, and the Underdogs should honestly be more scared of him than a Bananas or CT. But that's just my opinion. I want CT and Darrell to sweep this whole thing. I also won't be mad if Shane pulls out a win, because I adore him and loved the sweet reunion between him and Darrell. Cara Maria is fine too. Literally everyone else on this cast can go at any time and I probably wouldn't even care/notice. And if Zach and Bananas go, I will full on celebrate. Also, Jenna, if you are reading this, you can do SO MUCH BETTER than Zach. You are gorgeous, have a great personality, and do not deserve to date such a POS. Do better and look elsewhere.
  23. I still felt like Nick had more chemistry with Andi than he does with any of these final women.
  24. Yea compared to Darrell and CT, Johnny, at least from a physical standpoint, is not as impressive. Johnny became the GOAT of the challenge by knowing HOW to play the game and combine that with an above-average performance athletically. If there was not politics or strategic element to The Challenge, and it was purely based on athleticism, both CT and Darrell would have Johnny beat every single time. If I was an underdog on this season, the appearance of Johnny would neither surprise or frighten me as much as the appearance of CT OR Darrell. Johnny is an expectation to be dealt with at this point.
  25. All I know is that I was really looking forward to this season, because I actually found Nick to be an intriguing choice as the lead. And I've been disappointed in every aspect except Corinne. I find her hilarious and endearing. I really don't think she is the "villain" this season, despite how editing made it seem. I think that, much like America, the women were put off by how spoiled and entitled Corinne is at first, but saw that she really does mean well and is a good person and warmed to her. I think with Vanessa, the women along the way started disliking her and the producers have to give her a positive edit and leave drama that involves her out because Nick chose her at the end. They have the villain in Corinne and didn't need to involve the actual dislike of Vanessa into the equation.
