Thumper

I did enjoy and appreciate the guys trying to comfort Bailey at the beginning.(Someone upthread reminded me.) “I can talk girl. I’m a girl dad!” (Massimo) And Tristen admitting he gets manicures. That was so cute and also very sweet.

I was actually starting to like and appreciate Massimo this episode, especially as he described what he was doing. Sounded complex. (I guess everyone’s dishes were complex.). But he lost me again when he presented his dish and went all “entertainer” on them. The foraging and knowledge of the two experts was fascinating to me. The chefs were so creative! Have to admit though, that I thought “oh great. First, they have to forage (and look excited about it), then cook outside, ON AN OPEN WOOD FIRE?!” 😩🤯😵‍💫 They did well.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe they spent so much time on Ciara and West. But I do feel bad about Ciara and her parents. I almost didn’t watch because: Paige, Lindsay, Lexi. 🙄

I dread Massimo in Milan. I feel like he plays up the Italian way too much.

I missed the very beginning. What was Shannon’s gift to Earl? I think Wale should cut loose from Shannon. She seems to be attracted to the lust factor.

Not a fan of LuAnn’s gold lame’ bikini and whatever gold fishnet thingie she’s wearing over it. Did she and Mark have a date before? She’s expecting a kiss right away. 🙄

Ack. I don’t need to see Lindsay pumping her breast milk. No more Lindsay, please. Except she’s going to be on WWHL tonight. 😩 And now the Paige tour of how HaPpY she is without Craig. 🙄

I was expecting LuAnn to end up in the sack with her date!😁

Did anyone else notice that two of the guest judges at the end had sour looks on their faces through most of the judging? It was very strange! I think Tom swayed the judging on Bailey’s dish! lol. I’m happy she and Lana are still in, though.

To me, the dynamic is so weird. First, the women are all on Lexi’s side, encouraging and supporting her. Then, they all run up to Jessie’s room and have a “run tell dat” conversation with him, acting all supportive. 🤷‍♀️🙄 Since I only half listen, I’m not sure what it’s all about. Jessie is a big over-flirt (laying on top of Ciara on the pool float one time?!), which drives me crazy, but I tend to believe him more. I could be wrong!

I’m so sick of Lindsay.

I wasn’t able to watch, but surprised they couldn’t get George Wendt and Chicago crew together for some type of “Da Pope” sketch?

Yeah, having to go to the premier would be stressful for me! I’m not a Tom Cruise fan either, so the whole MI theme would also have been stressful. All chefs must be creative types, I guess!

Maybe it was his “end of clean underwear” underwear?!

I was wondering the same thing.
