Drogo

Waterboarding implies the recipient is immobilized and forced to inhale water. The grates for this challenge are pretty small, they’re free to leave anytime and swimming out is a quick trip. I never like when they weave their legs through, though. I’m really going to hate Ram Jam soon, aren’t I? For breaking Commandment #1: “Thou shalt honor thy Probst.”

Both of the new women have enthusiasm and the gift of gab. Mya notsomuch.

Carl celebrated his two years of sobriety in January. Didn’t he and Lindsay rekindle after the Kyle Amanda wedding in September 2021?

The night I proposed I remember thinking “This was almost perfect. If only she had a bad sunburn or she got pulled over for speeding on her way here, THEN it would’ve been magical.” They did exactly what they were supposed to do as her Not Friends. (Stealing that..) They’re worse than Not Friends, actually. They’re like some 80s movie where the mean girls pretend to like the head cheerleader’s nerdy little brother because they know it’ll get under her skin. No one in their circle genuinely likes or cares about Danielle.

This is what I remember, too - all of the girls agreeing that they were wearing dresses, and Lindsay and Carl leaving early to pick up extra firewood for the bonfire. He was also pretty shmancy in his white pants and button down. 100% would not expect one of the girls in the house to check Danielle since (aside from Danielle, allegedly) none of them are Lindsay's friends and seemingly enjoy making fun of her and Danielle by proxy. I am surprised she got through so many of Lindsay's actual friends at the party before Dannia (the hero we don't deserve) told her to get her shit together and stop making it about her.

Honestly it seemed like they all knew what she was doing was shitty but the only person who actually put her in check was Dannia (Lindsay's friend) well after she made the rounds at the event. She heard the opening notes to Danielle's 10-minute diatribe and was like "Mm yeah but this is the happiest day of Lindsay's life and you need to snap the fuck out of it" which Danielle did not appreciate at all but seemed to heed... at least for the next few hours.

^^^ding ding ding^^^ I'm not a sociological genius by any means, but maybe - JUST MAYBE.. this exact moment you mentioned, where she asked "Are you or are you not ring-shopping?" and he said "YES"... was the right moment to put on the big girl pants and say... "Carl I would love nothing more than to be able to help you with your proposal to Lindsay... because we have been friends for so long and you are both so much more important to me than whatever this argument I've been perpetuating about how fast you two have been moving is" instead of ... Why would ANYONE ask you for help with the proposal or give you a heads up when that was your reaction to the news that it *might* happen at some point in the future let alone in the next 10 days Not to mention - She has shown she's more than happy to report every fucking update about C&L to the girls in the house who sit around hoping that there will be more problems - so logical to assume she'd do the same with the impending proposal news and fuck it up for both of them. Also Robert - you can suck a D, my friend with your self-important Gotye lyrics ripoff. "Now you're just a couple we used to know." You don't get to be "Roberto" anymore, you're just fucking "Bob" now. Get off our show.

This isn’t the U.S. Jen. While we’re at it, this isn’t 2003 American Idol.

Oussama will have plenty to say at Tell All:

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

“A wiser Debbie” doesn’t mean much.

UO: If you’re living with someone who annoys you with their very presence and you can’t comfortably have any intimacy with… you have a roommate, not a boyfriend. Sometimes your roommate bangs your friends.

You do. We both do. Boggles the mind. It’s a shame what happened to her horse Artax though.

Insecurity due to low self esteem. The old saying: You can only be happy alone if you like the person you’re alone with.

Or they’re coping mechanisms tied to his emotional suppression of those desires. I had a buddy mixed up in so much of the same shit until he finally admitted to himself he wanted to have a family and relocate- he found someone who wanted the same and for lack of a better term he “settled down.” He broke up with his girlfriend first, though.

No? Just me?

So glad for the Morgan Park reunion. Long overdue. My only criticism is that Martha should’ve been Norma.

Is next week your wedding? I’m extremely proud and overprotective of all y’all so I won’t be here.

Mama Rishi:

“I would feel like his sister should mind her fucking business.”

And where the four competitors would be competing to receive… the exact same benefit they could’ve gotten by agreeing to sit out.

I think Ariana makes Sandoval feel stupid, and that it’s not just some self esteem issue. She’s got her Cool Girl brand and patronizes with ease, she always has. Not just towards Sandoval either. Even the discussion of the eggs being fertilized (ie preparing to possibly have a baby together, one of the most loving things people can do?) was devoid of any affection. This isn’t an excuse to cheat, of course, but it’s color. I haven’t particularly liked Sandoval in a long time, but I’m starting to see this situation like a (more egregious due to Raquel and Ariana’s friendship) version of the one in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Episode summary: Biggest threats in the game (Danny and Frannie) worry about people who haven’t done shit in challenges (Kane and Double Yam.)

The next time we have an argument I have to remember: keep arguing until my spouse’s best friend tells me it’s been long enough.
