Man, I'm so floored by Stacy's lack of life skills, but I'm glad her lawyer was both straightforward and tactful about Stacy's expectations for child support. No matter how amicable the divorce, you need to get financial arrangements set down in writing. How old is she? Wasn't there a story about how Mia was in a stronger financial situation when she met Gordon "because of an inheritance"? 🙄

Karla's business plan: Why is the show trying to make Ikechi and Emem happen as a couple? He's a perpetual child. Why should she settle for someone toxic just for the sake of the show? It's not even entertaining in a train-wreck sort of way.

Maybe it's my tiny screen, but aren't they very similar bridesmaid-y dresses? Nothing against bridesmaid-y dresses; after all, I like Meredith's dress (without the jacket) the best.

I wonder if it's producer shenanigans. In an earlier season, the show tried to make a Thing out of Austin not telling Jessica that he loved her, and they were--and are still-- one of the only MAFS couples to last. It's not that I have so much faith in Camille and Tom as a couple, but this conflict might be a little contrived. We already know that the producers are NOT interested in creating comfortable couples that work; that's why Ikechi is the latest in a long line of dysfunctional-at-life MAFS cast members.

Maybe we haven't seen the whole story, but it seems as if Ikechi and Emem got through their honeymoon okay, but once he saw her lovely apartment, he flipped the passive-aggressive switch on and never looked back. Look at how he spent their anniversary picnic giving stank-face to everything. And even his compliments sounded sarcastic: "This is well put together, well thought out." What does that even mean? Then Ikechi goes Full Asshole. Emem can grate, and I could see how her questioning might feel exhausting, (even though I would have the same follow-up questions) but she doesn't deserve Ikechi's bad faith drama and posturing. She also doesn't deserve to be humiliated in front of others. I feel like Juan would be better as Karla's life coach than her husband. They're proof that being attractive is just part of feeling a romantic connection. Had to laugh at the producer asking Karla to describe Juan's business. That was Karla's most likeable moment this season: ”He has his laptop . . . he types like Thriller . . . skateboards . . . so many strengths!” Unfortunately, it was immediately followed by the can't-be-managed nonsense. Karla needs a reality check.

Brittani's "confession" -- even with the Mormon context -- was so . . . unnecessary. I hope she's a one and done.

I'm sure Juan was thrilled to have her gone. Laundry time!

Yikes, Karen. Just . . . no

The thing is, I don't think there is. More importantly, it seems like Brittani doesn't think there is, which makes me sad for her. Brittani clearly thinks a will-they-won't-they with a junior varsity Osmond is what makes her special.

Hmmm . . . has Angie improved immensely this season, or does she just look so much better compared to the dumpster fire that is Brittani? 🤔

Those christening pictures must have ended up being priceless. I cracked up at Dave's "it's 3 of the clock." As obnoxious as she was, I was hoping that Angela would stick around for a few episodes; everyone bonded by shit-talking her!

Mixed feelings about this one. The content was interesting, but the stupid computerized voice thing was distracting and annoying.

Actually laughed out loud at this one. Would anyone even get an Elmyra or Kida costume these days? Is asking that question aging me like Barbara? I get it. I love Mr. Johnson, but having his brand of . . . eccentricity appearing every episode takes away from his overall impact. As @Enigma X said, there's a difference between a character and a caricature.

I really want this to be someone's tagline for next season. It seemed to me that Whitney was trying to recapture some of the magic that was Heather's Scooby-Doo-like dramatic unmasking of Monica last season (Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots!). OMG guys, Whitney got verbal confirmation that it was Lisa. Stop the presses! Oh, Britani. You are so . . . Sweet Valley High. Why is Britani more upset that Lisa told Jared to stop toying with her than she is that Jared keeps toying with her? He won't commit and he won't let her move on. Fine. But now you've made this everyone else's problem. They have to hear you whining about him and have Jared crash their parties. This seems like way too much work.
