  1. I don't know if Marian is a poorly written character or if the actress is just kind of blank. But she was absolutely sending mixed signals to Dashiel the whole time. I mean, yes, he shouldn't have sprunk an engagement on her but I bet he thinks she's a "nice girl" and the fact that she blankly smiles when he's around and agreed to accompany his daughter to a mother/daughter tea meant that she wanted to be with him. I mean, girl, why did you stand in for the mother at the tea!? What is wrong with you? That's a huge "I'd like to be this child's mother" signal that he picked up on. I don't think he's evil. I think like another poster said, he wanted a wife and a mother for his daughter. She seemed like she was into him and came from the right background so it all worked out.
  2. I honestly think he's just a sadist and enjoys knowing he can fuck with people. I don't think he likes women at all - or men. I think he just wants to see what he can make people do.
  3. I truly don't understand why Agnes is so sour all the damn time. She appears to get no joy out of life. I know that she had a rough go with her husband but good God lady. She sneers at everyone. Why is Rev. Dead Poets Society so horrendously awful in her opinion? Why does she need to cut Ada down every 10 minutes? The only time I saw anything close to pleasure was when she realized she could send threatening letters out to opera fans. I need to either see a flashback explaining why she is the way that she is or have them show a moment of sweetness because otherwise she drives me crazy.
  4. You are onto something. When they all move in together, I have no doubt now that Jeff will have multiple soulmates. I also suspect that this is when things are going to get sexually dicey in a lot of ways. The gay couples will need children and I suspect that younger females of childbearing age are going to be forced to conceive and carry these babies. It's going to get BAD when they move in together. Keith from NXIVM seemed to want money and power. Jeff seems to want money, power and to fuck with people. There's something that's just an extra level of sadistic with Jeff. He seems to enjoy what he can do to torture people. As for Elle
  5. I just finished the first episode of this last night and if you enjoy the first episode and haven't listened to the Wondery Podcast - listen tot hat as well because I am 90% sure that the woman they interview who was in the car accident and her boyfriend dumped her? I think the boyfriend is featured in the podcast and his version of the story and her version of the story are VERY different. I was listening to her talk on the docuseries and she was like "I just happened to be at the club" and "I was hanging out with his roommate who was a friend" and that is absolutely not the way he tells it on the podcast (ep 3 Honey Badger of Love, Twin Flames podcast). So far, I'm enjoying this series way more than the Prime one. I listened to the podcast first, then found the Prime movie and then a friend told me about this and I didn't even know it existed. My heart also breaks watching the 19 year old in the first ep (I'm terrible with names) but good lord you can see in her body language how scared and miserable she is with her older "twin flame" boyfriend.
  6. In regards to the stalking - I think it's way more likely that Lydia knew he was applying, figured she'd also apply and see what happens. I don't get the feeling that she was madly in love with him but more like realized that they both might be there and still tried anyway. Dating groups are so small even in big cities. I'm in a very large midwestern city and if you're on the apps long enough you see the same 40 people over and over again. I have no doubt that if I was ever on a Love is Blind, there would be at least one guy I've matched with or possibly dated. The dating community being small was apparent when they talked about running into each other at bars.
  7. Sam is a hot mess but I also love that when you see her parents you kind of get how a hot mess like this was created. She's so angry that she wasn't told about the cancer and told about the relationship but she hasn't stopped to consider why two people who love her and are close to her would choose to not tell her something important. She's judgmental and dismissive. It's the vision board all over again. I hope she gets out of her own way. And I agree that I am starting to just really enjoy Tricia. I thought I'd hate her in the first season but I like her. And I honestly would love more insight in the Charity friendship. Her husband just seems like a big dummy so I am not too confused as to why he cheated on Tricia. He seems like an idiot with a mid-life crisis. But Charity is the one that drives me crazy. To cheat and then never apologize and then go around telling others that Tricia is the one who cheated. Girl! I know we all have a Charity in our past to some extent - maybe not this extreme. But what the hell, Charity. Why are you the way that you are?
  8. Here's my assumption on what happened. Maddie had that fight with her mom and she said something about how it broke her spirit when she was retelling it. So I think her spirit was "weak" at that point anyway. When Janet's spirit ran through her body, it knocked Maddie's spirit out of her physical body and replaced it with Janet's. Otherwise, the ghosts could literally possess people all day long if they could just run through someone and take over their body. I think the soul-crushing fight with her mom somehow weakened her spirit/body connection making the possession much easier. So Maddie's spirit is still walking around and that's how she could see the other spirits. Since her body isn't dead, there's some weird stuff going on and that's how her friend would be able to see her.
  9. I knew something wasn't right with that teacher. Who the hell wants to work for their entire afterlife, grading ghost assignments? The Madison reveal was interesting. Early on in the season I assumed she was somewhere barely alive and that's why she was a ghost but also a ghost that could talk to her friend. She wasn't full ghost. I did not predict anything close to the reveal though. Very interesting. Not at all sure how they'll be able to get them to switch back? If possible?
  10. See, I don’t think Adam is a saint at all. I think he’s just as dismissive as Toby is. He even mentioned in the garage argument that he has been annoyed with Libby for months, but never once does he mention it or try to deal with it? He rolls his eyes a lot and complains a lot and trash talks to her in front of her friends at a party when he made fun of her for complaining so much at Disney World. She may have been neglecting him, but I think he had been neglecting her too for just as long. I think there are a lot of parallels between Libby and Rachel. Rachel is obviously in a more severe mental health crisis. But I think Libby is clearly depressed. And no one in her life sees her or tries to help her. I think honestly that’s why the moment with her and Rachel was so poignant. But I think both Adam and Toby are the same in the sense that the women in their lives are not doing well, and they can only think of how it affects them and how annoying it is for them to have to deal with that. Both Toby and Adam were playing the victim in my opinion. In the garage fight, you can kind of see that Adam still cares for her but even then he’s not seeing what’s going on and he’s very much “you have a nice house and you have kids. Why are you so fucking upset?” Which is missing the point. Libby doesn’t have anybody who really see who she is and what she’s going through - just like Rachel didn’t. Libby feels unfulfilled. Libby feels alone. Libby feels pointless. Libby doesn’t feel like she fits in anywhere, unless she’s with her friends from her past because they actually see her. It’s an older version of her, but it’s still seeing her on some level. She’s pretty much invisible in New Jersey. And her husband is just rolling his eyes and saying that she complains too much and she has no reason to complain.
  11. The only valid reason I can think of for her ghosting her kids is if she's really really really really in a bad spot. Like practically suicidal breakdown stuff where she might mentally think that her kids would be better off not hearing from her. That's the only mindset where I could sympathize with her. And I will say from the view of her at the park, she looked pretty dejected and bad so maybe that's what we'll see?
  12. I'm divorced (been divorced 6 years) and I watched the first episode and HATED this show. I had no desire to watch a man use women as a never-ending supply of sex toys to make him feel less lonely instead of just getting therapy. I see these men all the time on the apps and I had no desire to sympathize with their story. But then I read some reviews and decided to stick with it and I'm really glad I did. They really capture the loneliness of new divorce. The entire episode where he's so lonely that he goes to the pool with Libby but then feels like he doesn't belong there and then goes out drinking with his other friend --- but doesn't belong there either hit home in a major way. The early stages of divorce are very "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong" The party was also incredible because I've had that conversation with friends where they're being stupid in ways that I know I was stupid at the end of my marriage and I'm like "Hey, don't act like that. Take a step back and just think and maybe get counseling and see if it can be saved?" only for them to be like "Oh I'm supposed to take marriage advice from YOU" Libby and her husband seem beyond repair at this point - there are all of these studies about a sign of divorce and endless criticism of each other is a big one. Libby's husband totally started in on her being a sour ass at Disney World in front of all of her friends. And then he just left and she stayed out all night and both had this air of indifference about how the other might feel about that.
  13. Watching Steve do that interview was too much like real life. I work in PR and if I had a nickel for every c-suite leader who thinks they should do all of the media when they're quite frankly just bad at it, I could retire. Steve is self-loathing and obnoxious and needs to just let Nick be the media darling for the Chippendales. Nick is kind of an asshole as well, like how hard would it truly be to be like "Well, Steve Banerjee started the Chippendales and it was all his brainchild and creation but he wanted to take it to the next level, he hired me on and bam! Here we are today!" But Steve is such a dick to Nick that I can understand why he gives him no credit at all. They're both just poking the bear though and they need to get out of their own way. Steve, let Nick do what Nick does best and sit back to collect the money. Nick, quit being an asshole, it was Steve's idea and you could throw him a little bit of attention to make him happy and the happier he is, the more he's likely to get out of your way. I'm at the point where I truly don't know what Steve's wife sees in him. He's impossible.
  14. Albie was driving me bonkers in this episode. He has this weird sense of ownership over Portia. He did it when she was at the pool with the other guy and and then again with the drinks at the beach club. It would be different if he were like "oh I have competition, game is on" and kind of worked his magic and ramped up his flirting but he essentially just comes over and tries to mark his territory. Like getting up and walking over to her at the beach club? No no no no. She clearly made her choice. You guys aren't in an exclusive relationship or anything and in fact, she barely seems interested in you when you guys are together. Just chill out, dude.
  15. For some reason I expected a big dramatic Jan scene where she cries to the therapist and realizes it was all a sham but I think that would be too Hollywood. Instead I liked that it was a very slow realization that everything she had been told was a lie. I suppose that's the way it goes in real life when you've been manipulated by someone. You notice one thing was a lie and then the house of cards just kind of crumbles. It makes me so angry that he was able to go on and just continue to molest girls and get away with it. One thing I did notice is that the cadence of his voice in court and the way he spoke - the actor really captured that with him throughout the series. Poor Jan.
  16. With Cole, I don't think he's evil. I don't think he's a villain at all but I do think he's a complete dumbass who has been able to coast on his looks for most of his life. He's cute enough and he seems like that spoiled kind of guy who just consistently acts like an idiot and people give him a pass because he's a golden retriever of a human. But I don't think he's completely innocent. The other ladies didn't like him and i don't think that's just because of what Zanab told them. And he didn't really have the other men jumping up to defend him either and they lived with him. That's telling to me. Again, I don't think he's mean but I do think he's thoughtless. I mean, he did do some really hurtful things on camera. He told Zanab that other people were hotter than her and she's not who he would date. He said some things that people perceived as racist "I'd dated a Lily in the past but not a Zanab" kind of stuff. Again, I don't think he was trying to be racist or even aware that what he was saying could possibly be perceived as racist. He's just kind of thoughtless. And the cuties thing. I don't think it's as mean as Zanab tried to indicate it was. But I also don't think it's as innocent as Cole says it is. That comment by itself is not a big deal. But we've already heard him compliment other women in front of her and make little comments here and there "Are you bipolar?" that are quite frankly just asshole things to say. Even with the cuties he was like "Oh is this a fitting into the wedding dress thing?" which is a dick thing to say! It's a dick thing to tell someone not to eat two tiny oranges because you're going to dinner later. It's a dick thing to ask if this is something that will help them fit into their wedding dress. Intention is important and I don't think Cole intended to be hurtful but I do think he absolutely was saying some shitty things. That being said, Zanab rehearsed all of that and unveiled it at the wedding like he was some sort of mustache twirling super villain out to manipulate her and ruin her life. When in all honestly he's just a dumbass frat boy type and she needs to work on her self esteem and they brought out the absolute worst in each other.
  17. I think with Nancy, there's something about her that does seem kind of fragile as far as Bartisse goes? I mean, this woman is smart and capable but simply sat there while he went on and on about how another woman is hotter and then when he was like "I mean, is it OK that I was this honest?" just sadly nodded instead of saying "WTF?" so based on that and the fact that she was going to marry this toolbag, I can see where her family likely knows how she is and wanted to protect her. I mean, this is her mom. Her mom who has likely seen her cry about boys throughout the year and felt like she needed to help Nancy the way she did back when Nancy was in high school. Like mom was probably like "I'm not going anywhere, this girl will take that d-bag back!" So likely past history and their knowledge of how Nancy is was driving some of that behavior.
  18. I’m hopeful that the nun will be a witness who puts B in California with Jan and testifies that he placed her in the school with a fake name. With Jan, I hope she learns that B had another girlfriend and another young girl. And my God I hope she learns the alien stuff is bullshit. Sadly I suspect she’s just going to get her period and then he will drop her.
  19. Cole and Zanab very much have a Jon & Kate vibe. And honestly it reminds me a little bit of the dynamic with my ex-husband. I wasn't as nit-picky as Zanab about it and it came much later but there's absolutely this relationship vibe that I see quite often where the guy is kind of immature and careless and they don't have the sense to clean their toilet (or even flush it) before leaving on a multi-week trip. Then there's a woman who's kind of take charge and is a planner and I think on some level they think "great! She can take care of me!" only then it devolves into a weird control freak vibe and the guy slowly becomes more and more of a child until you're Jon & Kate (plus 8). In reality, Cole needs to grow up a little bit in order to be a true adult partner to someone. And Zanab needs to stop controlling literally every aspect of her boyfriend's behavior and be smart enough to say "This ain't working for me" rather than thinking she can nag him into being what she wants. They truly bring out the absolute worst in each other. Every once in a while I see glimmers of what makes them cool but they truly just bring out the absolute worst qualities in each other and absolutely should not be getting married to each other. Matt continues to scare me. He has a scary vibe.
  20. Dennis seems really mentally not all there. Is it just me or does he not even make sense half the time. He seems completely gone. I forget that this is not the reboot of Celebrity Rehab. Like what are you even talking about, dude? For real is he drunk? Or high? Or did he have a head injury?
  21. There's something with Aubrey Plaza and the rich guy that's going to happen. Either he wants her to defend him from sexual harassment claims or she's working with one of his accusers, I feel like that's going to come into play. I think they were invited on the trip with ulterior motives and it's her law practice that's the key.
  22. I'm annoyed at both of them at this point. Zanab just needs to realize that Cole has shown her who he is and she honestly doesn't like that so she should leave. But she keeps beating the dead horse which is making her look like she has 0 self esteem and it's making him angry. Cole is doing himself no favors in this argument though. She keeps essentially saying "It bothers me that you told me to my face that you think other women are more attractive than I am" and and he keeps doubling down on that. Boy just needs to say "I am so sorry I made you feel like I don't think you're the most beautiful person here. I am so attracted to you and I think you are amazing and I never want you to feel like you're less than someone else. I am excited to marry you." but instead he's like "Is Colleen hot? Yes. Would I have hit on her at a bar? Absolutely. Does she look like everyone else I've always dated because she's my ideal physical type? Without a doubt. She's a smoke show. But you are also pretty - plus we have this emotional connection and that's something that I don't have with Colleen even though she is clearly the hottest woman I have ever seen. I don't want to talk to her. I just want to have sex with her. And you're also pretty! Plus, I kind of like talking to you. So why are you upset?" I'm exaggerating of course but he seems incapable of talking to her about this without also complimenting Colleen during the discussion. Like dude, shut up about Colleen! Just shut up about her! Bartisse is also garbage. He's so dismissive of Nancy and he's so damn dumb. I felt bad for Nancy when she was saying that she asked for a hug and he called her needy. He's been treating her like dirt and then when she was talking to Andrew and crying about how garbage she feels, he's on her being jealous. You have rejected her all week! Come on already. And Matt is crazy. Like straight up abusive manipulative crazy.
  23. Mindless entertainment is right. It's enjoyable for the most part. I like almost everyone so far (granted my TV started acting up so I gave up before the last 45 minutes and will watch that tonight) but I can't stand Dennis Rodman and I also didn't like the guy who was in the entanglement. Everyone else seemed fun. Even Stormy was funny. She had a good ability to bring the tension down with a good self-deprecating joke. With Dennis - what's wrong with him? Serious question. Is it drugs now? Is it from using drugs previously? Do basketball players get those head injuries that football players get? Is he just not very bright? He seems really not all there. Not functioning at a normal healthy level and I could not figure out what was going on with him.
  24. And I just think that's so tacky to be talking about sex with your future spouse like that with people "We had sex THREE times" and "oh yeah? We did it FOUR times. No wait, FIVE. I forgot about the one!" Are you guys OK? I mean, I remember back in the day being in college or late high school and there was an immaturity where people would share sex stories and intimate details and then we hit our 20s and grew up and started dating the people who would become our spouses and we stopped. It just seemed really disrespectful to be talking about your intimate sexual relationship with your fiancé like this. It's one thing to chat with a friend and be like "Hey, I have a question?" or "Does this ever happen with you and your husband?" but if someone came at me with "I had sex with my fiance FIVE TIMES last night" I'd be like "OK, congrats? I guess?"
  25. Maybe it's because I'm 46 and they're all essentially children to me but Bartise doesn't even seem hot to me. He's got a weird Kid n Play haircut and his face isn't even that cute. I guess his body is good? I mean, Raven is physically very pretty. I can agree with that but her personality is terrible and I'm so tired of hearing her talk about pilates. But I'll at least agree that she's pretty. But in no way would those two people that I would go to in a room.
