What, I mean what is the deal with Angela? Does she have pictures of the hamsters with large farm animals? What is the attraction? [Whines] Why is she still on my TV?

Why in the name of everything that’s holy did Chelsie not nominate Angela and Leah? Is she concerned that Leah could win the veto and use it on Angela…again! But Leah could still play in the veto, win it and use it on Angela. At least, if she was one of the nominees and won the veto, she’d need to use it on herself. I’m really trying to understand the dynamics here. Both Angela and Leah are completely useless.

You did this, Leah. This is 100% on you. If you hadn’t taken down Angela for the most incomprehensible reasons (she’ll be my support, blah, blah—neither one of you are going to last much longer), then Quinn wouldn’t have nominated your cat toy, Joseph. Angela—when you ‘cry’, try to gin up some moisture. Tears, snot, something. when most people cry, their noses run, their eyes water, their faces get red and a bit swollen. But you? You squinch up your face a bit and let your voice waver. You’re not fooling anyone, dearie. You need some practice time in front of a mirror.

It’s the Angela Show and everyone else is a bit player.

For the hysterics alone, Angela must be evicted. Her constant need to be the center of attention is making me tired. FWIW, I also didn’t care that Brooklyn (and the others—she wasn’t the only one) ate Angela’s precious charcuterie. Angela was no longer HOH. The food was fair game. AND she was a have-not and couldn’t eat it anyway.

I wanted to vote for Angela to be America’s Nominee. When I didn’t see any way to do that, I didn’t bother to vote. Yes, she is THAT annoying. Can’t get off my TV fast enough. And when are the hamsters going to realize what a comp beast/threat Tucker is?

OK. This Joseph person? The one with the pornstache? The ‘70s called, they want their look back. And, apparently, their job. A video store clerk? Obvi, not really his job. Maybe HE’S the one in the CIA. JK. He’s far too dumb to be in the CIA.

I flove Dorothy Parker. To me, she is the epitome of wit and sophistication. So happy you picked up on it.

What on earth is wrong with these people? Why vote to keep the Drama Queen? Unless… Production wants her kept on for…oh, wait. Drama! My hatred for this Tucker person knows no boundaries. He studied for the CIA for 10 years?! Right. And I’m the Queen of Romania.

Why is no one looking to break up the showmance? Especially one as toxic as this one is? And especially when it can be done anonymously? Don’t anyone here know how to play this game?

And that’s a problem because…?

I've had a lot of exposure to alcoholics. My sister is an alcoholic; I am not. And neither is my brother. Sure, I like to drink as much as the next girl, but my sister has this pathology that makes her dependent on alcohol and she only knows that she has to drink to excess and she can't get through her day without drinking. Everyone in her life has begged her to get help and so far, she refuses. One of my college roommates is an alcoholic who periodically promises to stop. And then goes right back on drinking. My best friend was an alcoholic; got sober with the help of AA. She understood what was going on with her and got help. Another friend quit drinking on his own, no AA. Never addressed the underlying pathology that caused him to drink in the first place. He's what is known as a 'dry drunk'. My college boyfriend literally drank himself to death. As did a co-worker whom I liked a lot. My point is, that alcoholism is a disease and you don't just give yourself a disease by drinking to excess. The pathology must exist for you to be an alcoholic. Garcelle has no idea what she's talking about when she makes statements like, 'Erika is going to give herself an alcoholism by drinking so much.' Erika is either an alcoholic or she isn't. She's not going to drink herself into a disease. Alcoholism is a pathology, not a learned behavior.

Here’s the thing. A person doesn’t become an alcoholic because they drink too much. Or because their drinking is out of control. A person’s drinking is out of control because they are an alcoholic. Garcelle keeps saying that Erika is going to ‘give herself alcoholism’ or some such nonsense. That’s not the way it works. That’s not the way any of this works. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I actually prefer, Sicilian Widow. Maybe Sicilian Widow Goes to Confession, especially with that mesh peekaboo business. YMMV

Someone the size of PK will not blow a .81 on the breathalyzer after one glass of wine. Unless it’s a really, really BIG glass of wine. Like one of those that can hold a full bottle of wine.
