I still like Amber so much. And I wish she could have held out longer for someone better than this prince of a fellow.

Honeymoon's over, pal.

Caveman Kevin wears clamdiggers.

Lindsey and Daonte both use the exclamatory "Bruh!" They belong together.

Ray mines for bitcoin.

Eww. I saw Chance's sideboob.

Exactly. Moving on to TayLer. . . .

The salon where she got those highlights fronts for a clinic in the back.

Did someone say restitution?

It's crazy how much softer and prettier Britney looks from just moving that center part over to the side a bit.

DON'T CUT MY TENDON!!

Well, now I want Shawn and Destinie to be together--with their eleven children.

I looked up from my laptop and jerked back in shock at that throat bumblebee. YOWZAH

We were just fixing up a cozy little place for you out back.

Why not just call it "So Help Me, Marcia Gay Harden"? I don't know, can you be a razor sharp attorney professionally and an unrepentant overbearing figure in your personal life and also a clueless bumbling charmer? (Bradley Cooperman with Madonna in Star Wars?) I enjoyed the dialogue snark, but I had to rewind half a dozen times to nail down the COTW plot because I got distracted by something more interesting. Finally I gave up and just waited to hear confess, which came along right on the button. Tighten up, writers.

No, I think s/he's just saying the prosthetic wasn't a factor in her sitting out the challenge because she's fully capable of participating in the challenges. I'm sure she'd never have petitioned to come on the show if she thought there would be any sort of special consideration.

I saw the promos with David Hasselhoff and I had to know what was going on with that ridiculous hairpiece. Turns out that's NOT part of a storyline; it's just his "look." Why doesn't someone tell him? Does he not have any friends? Sir, that hairpiece is at least three times bigger and thicker and more luxurious than the hair a gentleman of your age could reasonably be expected to have. You do yourself no favors. Please pare that thing down to a more credible facsimile of hair you grew yourself.

Re "bitch": Jamie was perfectly within bounds when he told Brittini not to call him that. She's his subordinate and they're on the boat--for all intents and purposes, "the office". Holy shit, I shudder to think what would have happened if I'd teasingly called my boss a little bitch while we were standing in the break room sharing a doughnut. When the others started calling Jamie that, it's trickier. Aesha's not his subordinate and part of the time they were just romping around the street, off--duty. In those circumstances, I think all you can do is say, "I really don't like that" and hope they're good enough mates to respect your wishes. (Going to the captain to complain was stupid, since the captain had already been very dismissive to Jaime about an issue that was much more serious.) ###### I hated the captain bending over backward to investigate Jamie's complaint about Benny. He delegated authority to Jamie, but he doesn't trust Jamie or believe what he says and then Jason makes sure to let everyone on the crew know it, thereby undermining any authority Jamie might have built up. I hope the captain feels like a fool when he sees all the footage of Benny insisting he's just there to have fun and whining that he won't do his job until his boss treats him in a way he considers "respectful." And apparently anything that feels like criticism is not respectful. I think Benny should open his pay envelope and find a participation certificate instead of a paycheck. #### Finally: I can't BELIEVE these slackers are making ~$1500 in tips every few days--on top of room, board and paycheck--and they're still complaining and nit-picking.

Kody wouldn't spend five hours alone in a car with Meri if it were Meri herself dying. Sorry, Meri. You had a bad setback when you tried to break away, but you need to try again. You're worth so much more than this shallow nothing of a man. ###### My dentist's son couldn't stand his father and could not WAIT to go off to college. The dentist constantly complained to all his friends, nurses, patients how his son neglected him and never called him. Finally, in the middle of an appointment, my father interrupted the dentist's ongoing rant and said, "Bob, if I didn't hear from Candall for two years, by God, I'd be beating on her door, finding out the reason why." Kody often makes me think of Dr. Bob.

When the winner was announced, Taylor activated her cartoon Roadrunner wheels and suddenly Monty was standing next to a little puff of goodbye dust with zoom lines.

Very nice. That's wisdom worth embroidering on a pillow.

Exactly. She self-destructed after they banished her to the shed and they're putting her right back out there. That's your twin sister, Tayler. Shame on you.

Restitution!!!!

There it is, TayLER! Your opening! When he says, "So you DON'T want to get married anymore?" and he's expecting you to sob and cling to his neck and say you'll live in whatever shitty house he picked as long as there's an underground bunker in the backyard for Bobbie, you just have to say, "Exactly." And then you get up and go collect the kids and take steps so you aren't chained to this fucking psychopath for the rest of your life.

He IS needy, and clingy, which is a turnoff. But that could be tamed, maybe, if he ever met a woman who didn't use him for whatever money she could shake out of him and then treat him like a worthless POS. I am secretly Dr. Phil.
