How about me? I never eat avocado. I can't stand the stuff and will go out of my way not to eat it. Even have it removed from anything I order. At least I won't say I'm allergic to it--I'm not--like some people who claim to have celiac disease and then proceed to devour the bread basket. Ahem.

At least Kyle was legit robbed of all her jewelry and luxury handbags and didn't lose everything to the repo man. I'll show myself out.

Ariana is such a poser. All this house talk, centering around having/not having kids. She holds herself above all the others--I'm too good for this gig--when, in reality, she's no better than the rest of them. She's no cooler, no smarter not more hip. None of it. Total poser.

Epic shade. Epic

Oh, that was so not lavender. I have lavender growing at my house...several different varieties because I am in love with Provence. But that there? Was definitely not lavender.

On what planet, in what universe is Tamar worthy of some Special Power? Of all the CBBers, she is, hands down, the most annoying, obnoxious, get off my damn screen of all of them. Yet, somehow, she gets the Power of the Publicist. And as if we all don't know why. Because she brings the drah-ma, that's why! She's a walking, talking stereotype who needs to go home STAT! At least the power has an expiry date. Thank God!

This was my childhood. Nothing so fancy as Steiner's but bungalow colonies in the Catskills. Moms and kids up there for the summer, Dads up on the weekends. Ironically, when I was in college, I was a camp counselor/lifeguard at a camp for over-privileged children in the Catskills, not too far from where Grossinger's used to be.

Not just a Chinese place. Ruby Foo's. I used to love that place. It's vastly changed now, but back in the day, it was the hot tip.

We're in at least 1962. They got married in 1958 and the next scene was 4 years later, so 1962. Kennedy had been in office for 2 years at this point.

The UWS, back in the day, was considered to be somewhat déclassé. I know, when I lived there in the '70s and people that we had made plans with found out where we lived, their reaction. Always was, 'can we meet you someplace?' No one wanted to go there--it was perceived as being the Wild West. Not like today.

Yes to this. Raquel was a most unfortunate shade of orange up near her hairline. I thought she worked as a model. Has no one ever taught her the importance of blending? That stripe of white was so wrong.

Those two in London who were moving from Toronto had to be the most annoying HH ever. Extremely unlikeable from the get go, really young with a seemingly unlimited budget $3600/month (!) and no apparent means of support. All they did was wander around London taking photos of each other. She saved money from doing real estate development. When? In grade school? Richard shows them a place below budget and the reaction is, oh, more money to spend on stuff. The colors on the walls gave her anxiety. He couldn't handle the big worktable in the center of the place they ultimately chose. Poor Richard! I thought his eyes were going to get stuck, he was rolling them so hard.

NY to Amsterdam. Oy. Again with the 'Where will our guests sleep?' routine. so, you're willing to sacrifice your own personal comfort in a new country, someplace, you've never lived, for guests that may or may not visit. Um, OK. Guests come, guests go. But you have to live in that apartment 24/7. I was just in Amsterdam. Trust me, there are hotels. Lots of them. There are AirBnBs available. Your would-be guests could stay in one of those. Plus, I found her to be hugely, incredibly annoying. He was maybe a touch less annoying than she was. A touch.

Nope. Julie Chen-Moonves is with Big Brother through the end of 2019. That's the Celebrity Big Brother Edition and one regular Big Brother Edition. I'm sitting here, gobsmacked. How does that troll, JC, who hasn't won one thing, not an HOH, a veto--nothing! make it into the Final 3 when he's done nothing but talk smack all summer long. That, and sexually harass the other house guests. He won all of one competition and there he sits. He deserves to be kicked out and here he is with a Final 3. Kills me, it does.

And another thing. What was with the weird insistence on buying their own furniture? They apparently weren't planning on shipping their stuff from the US to the UK, yet did not want a furnished place. So...? Why insist on buying furniture for a rental? Foreign cooties? I'm at a loss to explain this. Either the HHs want an unfurnished place because they're bringing their stuff; or they want a furnished place because they've left everything behind/sold it to fund the trip. But this? Goes along with the other weirdnesses.

Portland to Oxfordshire: Why on earth would you move your kids to a new culture (about which you admit they're 'anxious') and then homeschool them so that they will never get to learn anything about the new culture they've supposedly adopted? Husband's excuse? He's going to be working on US hours and he's never get to see the kids. Well, then, what's the point? And this insistence on a room for guests? Honey, you're from Portland. Oxford is a long, long way away. Your guests are not rushing to visit. Creepy people. I feel for their kids.

And a concussion. And not only kill him, but somehow get his body to the trash processing center. Yup. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Apropos of nothing... Costco sells lo-cal vodka popsicles and they come in flavors, like Lemon Drop. And BevMo does, too, if you have those where you live. Mmm, vodka.

Sweden episode. Oh no, now! Did I somehow miss that the sainted Ricardo is paying 1/3 of the rent? Any portion of the rent? Because until/unless he is, Hanna has no business even thinking that Caitlyn will automatically accept moving into a smaller room because she's only one person and Hanna/Ricardo are two people. And, honestly, Ricardo doesn't look like much of a catch. Even Hanna can do better than that, selfish cow that she is.

New York to Austin. She was, hands down, one of the most insufferable people I've seen on this show in some time. And considering some of the people oon this show, that's saying something.

Ah, what did I just watch? For someone who calls herself Rockstar and dresses like a unicorn threw up on her, she certainly acts like one entitled bee-yotch. How dare you? And on my daughter's birthday! Ermagerd! She has 3 kids. Is every single one of their birthdays a national holiday? No mail delivery? Stock markets closed? And it's Hayleigh's mother's birthday, too! What about her? Huh? And everybody else whose birthday is July 19. What about them? O, the outrage. I don't like her, never have. I honestly thought she'd be one of the first to be gone. Along with that nerd-ass waste of space, Scottie. But what do I know?

And it was the only kitchen with gas burners, which he clearly wanted. As well as being right on the beach. Her, with 'what difference does it make if it's gas? It all tastes the same.' She certainly doesn't look like she's all that indifferent to food. And her carping about he beachfront apartment being over budget. Yeah, OK. By all of $50! I really did not like her at all. She's overbearing and obnoxious.

At least, they gave him subtitles. For which I was grateful.

Flemington to Antwerp: Oh my merciful heavens, but those two were unattractive. They must have had to have sex in the absolute dark with bags over both their heads. She was whining about not having enough closet space. For what? Your torn jeans and dirty hoodies? And the place with multiple showers? You should have picked that one, since it was painfully apparent that neither of you showered with any regularity. They both looked like they needed a flea dip. These two were the schlubbiest Hunters I have ever seen on this show ever. I feel badly for their kids.

I loved it (in a snarky, mean, Schadenfreude kinda way) when Dorit said, 'I'm not on trial here'. And LVP chimed in with, 'Yes you are, we all are'. Or words to that effect. Dorit's whose, if-it-wasn't-on-camera-it-didn't-happen routine is beyond ridiculous, seriously needs to be slapped upside the head. I would bet that there's more footage we haven't seen than the stuff they've actually shown. Please, someone at Bravo, find some of the stuff Kyle was saying she said to Dorit and drop it into tthe next reunion show(s), I'm begging you.
