Then I am confusing the parties. Which party was Melissa at, where Teresa mentioned her "chosen family" during a toast? It was after Teresa's toast that viewers watched Melissa walking to the bathroom, crying. I thought Melissa overreacted a bit, but I can imagine Joe would be having hurt feelings (but he was sitting at home so what did he expect?) I'm actually pleased that Bravo is no longer giving this show life. Don't get me wrong, I love Marg, Jackie, Jennifer, Dolores, etc, but too much toxic behavior was being invisibly promoted or condoned.

We must have been watching different shows. I remember watching Teresa encourage that skeevy guy to walk over and say what he did. Yet it came out that Melissa had never worked for him or "stripped". That was just Teresa trying to build a storyline. Also Melissa was at the party when Teresa acknowledge her chosen family. Are we watching RHNJ? Or is that you, Teresa,?

I am very impressed with Karen's look. I love the short hair and I wouldn't have known she had a facelift if she didn't tell us. (Thanks for being honest, Karen.) Now I want work done. But it'll never happen as I'm terrified of hospitals and surgery.

I think she's more irritated by his enthusiasm for filming and/or running his mouth. She appears to think prior to speaking, but we'll see if that's the case...

I too am questioning the editing because Fraser's comments are not in line with what we're seeing. I've not seen him be hypercritical without warrant. I think we're not seeing everything Barbie's said or done, but we are seeing Fraser's reaction.

I am NOT organized but nor am I neurodivergent. I think Anthony is able to work well within a messy kitchen and his dyslexia has nothing to do with it. But trying to comprehend Barbie's menu notes probably panicked him even prior to reading. Then when he tried to understand her notes, he just dismissed it.

I just remember her being a know it all, and taking over conversations. She was notorious for asking the price of everything or stating what she spent on whatever.

You're absolutely correct. I too feel something's up and it doesn't pass "the sniff test". Isn't she in her 40s now? She knows what she's doing and it's not an authentic reflection of the average American in love with a Muslim.

I recognize that Tori and Zach want nothing to do with the farm or with Matt and Caryn (sp?) and given I can be guilty of carrying a grudge, I understand the bitterness regarding the farm. Zack grew up with a father who repeatedly told his family that everything he did on the farm was for his kids and their legacy. But but then he backtracked and refused to even work with his kids, even though he knew they could not afford to buy the farm. I would find it hard to move on and play nice with everything left unsaid. We know Matt does not regret selling for profit rather than for Roloff legacy.

I like Ariana's look, and Scheana always looks impeccable.

I'm just now watching the show, and already I'm snarling at the screen whenever Ashley or Jasmine come on. My issue with Ashley came towards the end, when she's acting incredulous that his parents and family don't know she's a witch. Who on earth would be willing to offer up that background especially if their family is conservatively religious? Worse, was the clip where she went into the church, and didn't know what the Bible was? How can she be so spiritual and yet not acknowledge the basic prerequisite involved in other religions? Jasmine needs to shut up with the Gino insults. If she was that insistent on using a lawyer, why didn't she hire someone? I gather she makes money from the show, as well, so why is Gino responsible for every whim she has that cost money? And quite frankly, I believe she and Gino didn't write down her kids' names because the chance of getting a k 1 visa would have been refused. She had a better chance of being accepted by not listing any dependents.

And I'm still traumatized by the images and innuendos!

I do know from experience there are murder mystery packages that include all the props needed and it appears Fraser did get one (with the notepads, other props and the list of clues they could use). He just needed the deckhands to copy out the clues - make them relevant to the boat, and place them around the decks/rooms. Why editing tried to make it appear difficult is beyond me.

Thanks for sharing. I, too, was engaged at 19 to an amazing fellow, handsome, kind, generous, no red flags to be seen. However, I just felt "off" when we'd kiss, etc. (No lightheaded, butterfly chemistry). When I told my mother he was perfect, except... I wasn't physically drawn to him, she immediately told me to level with him, otherwise our marriage was doomed

It killed me that Jem didn't use her idol. I wouldn't count on ever "relaxing" or not staying vigilant, if I were in Survivor.. She learned the most important lesson of Survivor... Trust No One!
