All of the show's participants are consenting adults, and we're not going to question the character of its viewership since we are all viewers here and that would be... wait for it... uncivil.

It's interesting because I did feel bad for Darcy when Jesse's stepfather was putting her down, yet: I felt satisfied when FatherKarine was visibly annoyed with Paul's presence and hating on him in Portuguese and I was really hoping that FatherAbby was going to tear into Sean, and I was disappointed that he didn't. Realizing my own double standards.

Me, when Sean was drinking his sodapop like Don Corleone while being "totally fine if Abby and Chris are friends":

Kishka. Smells good, tastes better... You think you want to know what it is, but you don't.

I need all the green shit.

"Panties." Ugh. Between Sean and Jesse, the word has lost all meaning.

Another $15,000 is at stake as two teams of master food artists face off in another Hayride of Horror battle. To win, they'll have to combine cake, sugar and carved pumpkin to show how to survive a night escaping the demonic inhabitants of a possessed zoo.

It's the spine-tingling finale of Halloween Wars! The final two teams made up of an expert pumpkin carver, a cake artist and a sugar artist have slaughtered their competition and must face off in one last epic showdown. The team that can best illustrate the final seconds before a deadly danger strikes will be crowned Halloween Wars champion and win $50,000! Fiona Dourif, actress from the hit horror franchise Child's Play, serves as guest judge.

The final three teams made up of an expert pumpkin carver, a cake artist and a sugar artist go into battle to create stunning and scrumptious Halloween-themed displays that imagine what happens when a horrifying undead ghoul hosts their own zombie cooking show! Bryan Fuller, executive producer and creator of Hannibal and American Gods, joins the judging panel.

Exactly. And you're not alone, I've seen so much of this. Or a girl who's upset that her boyfriend didn't get her a birthday gift, and he spins it so she's begging his forgiveness for being so materialistic. Heads up, Karine - people who actually want to jump into the water and drown don't wait for you and the camera crew to catch up.

But what standards does he have for himself? He strikes me as an inauthentic opportunist. I'm not sure what Jesse's done that should lead us to believe he doesn't hold himself to any standards. He's taken Darcey sightseeing, bike-riding, to lovely dinners, set up romantic evenings; he's been kind and affectionate to her. I think he might have a compulsive cleanliness issue, but that's no crime. Do I believe he should have interjected when his parents were saying Darcey wasn't in his league/stopped his friend from asking Darcey what would happen when she was 80? Not really; that's his family/friend and blunt as they may be, they're looking out for him and he's letting them be themselves. Darcey's a big girl and she probably should have had some expectation his parents (and friends) might not be over the moon about his dating someone who could be his mother. I still think he seems like the guy from American Psycho and/or Sleeping With The Enemy... but I can agree with his asking Darcey not to drink anymore. I've been there with someone who drank too much and became an ugly person, and I was naive to think her setting flopsy rules like "I'll watch what I drink"/"I won't drink too much"/"I'll just have 1" was enough- it's not. Someone who has an issue with drinking really shouldn't drink, at all. She's an adult who can make her own decisions, he's just letting her know that being with him requires her to stop drinking. She has the freedom to continue drinking, and he has the freedom to move on from this relationship if she does. Then, I don't really have issues with ultimatums. They're a chance to keep what you have. I'd rather someone I love tell me "We can stay together if you stop/start _____" than just have them make the decision for me and end our relationship. Darcey's "He's controlling! He's not the boss of me" sounds a lot like a teenager whose parents have just told them they aren't paying for them to spring break in Cancun: "You don't want me to have a life or any friends!"

Jesse's not a teetotaler, he just doesn't like the person Darcey becomes when she drinks. Good on him for having standards.

Until a death is confirmed, please post in Celebrity News. Posts have been moved.

They showed her walking home in the pilot, I don't remember the specifics of the building but it was definitely not rundown.

A lot of people don't discuss dealbreakers until they become relevant, as in, about to break the deal; I'd venture most don't mention them in their opening lines. Some people can't deal with stressful situations without having a few drinks and/or can't have a few drinks without becoming ugly. Jesse seems to have realized Darcey's one of them. Literally running away (into bushes, no less) isn't "a glass of wine, what's wrong with that" behavior. It's refreshing to see any of the love interests actually call the Americans on their bullshit.

I have to disagree that Jesse's out of line insisting Darcy abstain from alcohol if she wants to continue in their relationship. Darcy needs alcohol to deal with stressful situations, and while it may or may not be alcoholism it is a drinking problem. We're all allowed to have our dealbreakers in relationships, and he wouldn't be the first person for whom "a drinking problem" was a dealbreaker.

In the Season 1 finale, an octogenarian couple return to Room 104 to relive their first night together.

The chefs must complete a four-tiered shellfish tower with "fast hands." The first team to finish is rewarded with a glamorous day in Malibu, while the losing team must prep for a massive fish delivery. During the dinner service, Chef Ramsay sends multiple entrees back to the kitchen and temporarily kicks out one of the All-Stars. In the end, one team manages to improve its performance, while the other fails to impress.

Ray gets in over his head when he makes up a fake charity to impress his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Maya gives Jimmy tips on being the boss; and Dylan demands Kenneth get out of her space.
