Ms Blue Jay

With Cormac reminding me of Vanilla Ice and Cashel wearing douche-veralls, I am getting a lot of nostalgia for bad 90's fashion. Christen/Kristen (?) she seems okay, but she seems very ....... unfriendly. I don't blame her, but she probably doesn't realize how she comes off. I like how straightforward, honest, mature she seems but she just stares people down. Caro was right about that.

Re: Mallory Yes! That's what I meant earlier, when I said that it was very weird for Mallory to coyly ask Dylan "Why did you ask me on this date?" Well let's see, the show forced him to, there was only 4 women left, and 2 of them are very much coupled up, and he had already BEEN on a date, so that leaves you. I thought that was a very weird question to ask, but this will make me look like I'm over-thinking it. LOL.

Of course I understand Caro wants someone to like her for her natural hair ----- but why did she wear the wig then? And then go up to a man and say WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? Of course Cormac's going to think the classy thing is to compliment it - what else would he say? Caro confronts Cormac at LEAST once an episode in a very antagonistic way. She's never said something that wasn't confrontational, negative, or kind of threatening towards him. Cormac tried to compliment her by saying "I'm glad that you're here.... because if you weren't.... I'd be (bored or whatever)". Caro IMMEDIATELY cuts him off and says "YEAH BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T PICK YOU YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE ON THIS SHOW." Jesus, woman. Is that your idea of flirting? Cormac is absolutely not my cup of tea, but he's only ever tried to be nice to Caro while she's always shut it down by saying something pretty rude to him. So he just politely tolerates her now, which honestly, is pretty nice of him considering.

Two things: Yamen says he supports the Toronto Raptors (ahhhhhhhhhhh. Now I have to root for him to win the whole thing) and he FINALLY said something REAL when he said "I just want to be infatuated with somebody." Okay. Maybe we're getting somewhere with this teenage mutant ninja turtle and his SHELL! I'm soooooooooo glad Kristen picked Yamen and not freaking Cashel. Cashel thinks he's the shiiiiiiiiit. With his fucking overalls! I can't take it! "I'm a vibes based person." He is the reason people hate my generation!

I feel like Yamen shows gay panic AND straight panic. Whenever anyone wants to kiss him, the TERROR in his eyes is just so real. He seems kinda repressed or something. (And I say this as someone who's been accused of being repressed!) I'm confused as to why he's here. Maybe he's asexual, which is totally fine! It's just that he's going to be bored on this show. "Closed legs, but open mind, open heart." - Katrina. LOL.

I agree, there is something so unnatural about his demeanor. Poor Alana, I would have NO idea how to react to him.

I like this show. It's so entertaining. I had a smile on my face almost the whole time. God help me, I like Dylan. He's so pretty. He was so pretty in the water competition. Caro changing her hair and then ripping Cormac a new one for liking it? hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha. I have a friend like this, who turns every compliment into an insult. It's definitely a type of insecurity. I was surprised at how Cashel spoke to Kira. That was so weird. I thought he actually liked her?

I thought the "I fucked in a windmill" discussion was AWESOME. I rewound it probably 10 times. Hannah was so happy, smug, and self-satisfied and I didn't blame her 1%. It was hilarious. I think she's insane for 1) Keeping Luke around this long 2) Not wanting to sleep with Tyler But hey, the "I fucked in a windmill" (so please leave) is HILARIOUS. It rivals Colton jumping the fence. It was so funny. Hannah: And, I have had sex. (Dark music) Luke: Say what? HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA Luke is such an asshole and a hypocrite. He's admitted he's fucked a lot of women. And yet Hannah can't have sex before marriage or on this show? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA oh my god. So funny!

Wow, I missed a lot on Friday. Cormac's speech about how he approaches dating like a job because he's been doing it since he was 16. LOL. I wasn't even mad at that. It was entertaining. Michael endeared himself to me by being the best at the stripping. Dylan looked hot all covered in paint. I rewound some parts I probably shouldn't have. Alana is so cute but I agree too inexperienced for the show. Probably goes the same for most of them. Kira is beautiful. It's nice that she acknowledges Cashel is a big weirdo and likes it. LOL. I would prefer Zac to put product in his hair. I appreciated that Michael was honest and basically told Caro he's not into her, but yeah, that doesn't help him stay in the game.

Rewatching now Zac's exact words were "That gives me a pitty stomach feeling." I think he meant like, resembling a pit. "Pit-ty". Not "pity". But yeah, that would be funny. A funny thing about this show is the women like Mallory saying "Why did you ask me on a date?" all blushing and flattered. The women DO know that it's a function of the show and that the guys were forced to ask two women on dates, right? Maybe she meant "Why did you ask ME on the date?" but she didn't emphasize "me" so I found it really funny, as if it was totally Dylan's choice and doing. Another thing that seems staged is the audience vote. The audience vote worked out way too perfectly to give Caro and Alexandra the dates with the new guys.

That would be like saying you can't expose your children to adults because what if one of them is a pedophile. The same could be said for teachers, coaches, scout leaders, pastors, etc. and honestly it's probably a lot more likely. I agreed that the Ambien was a problem more than having sex with a man when your children are staying at an entirely different person's house. I'm quite sure single mothers don't all become celibate for fear their children might see a man one day.

Well the ice cream scene for sure. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/07/meryl-streep-big-little-lies-ice-cream-reese-witherspoon But honestly, I don't even know how the Great Meryl Streep can make the call that a scene will be on the DVD extras. ? How would she even know a thing like that at this stage? And I love and respect her a great deal but how would she be able to make that call? LOL

It was supposed to be a severance. I wonder if the nanny signed an employment contract. I wonder how the severance was determined. Everyone seems to be so sure Celeste stopped taking Ambien but based on what? I don't remember this ever portrayed onscreen.

I agree that it's good to show, but I would think it's more accurate to call Bonnie's background child abuse instead of domestic abuse, which is usually reserved for situations like Celeste's. I like seeing Bonnie's background; what I find uncomfortable and manipulative is Bonnie's fantasy of killing her mother that the show made seem real at first before pulling back. I just find this to be a very unintelligent gag meant to shock. Celeste was doing this when the boys weren't home. But I take your point.

Well, that would be perjury. The entire episode, Celeste told the truth no matter how hard it was for her and no matter how much she was "publicly" humiliated and on the stand and was incredibly painstaking about avoiding committing perjury - until the part where she was asked how Perry died. That's why Bonnie was so visibly upset and why she kept fantasizing about standing up in court and confessing and why the episode ended with her actually confessing to her mother.
