Hello, good people. I'm here, but I'm peeking through a hand over my face. I was minding my business on Tumblr when a tripped across a spoiler,saying that Michonne would be kidnapped. I have no idea if this source is credible (Already they're on my shit list for putting that out there without giving me a chance to run away first. Come on, even Carol tried to get Paula to run away) and I don't want to search for confirmation for fear of getting spoiled more. Would one of you mind PMing me a Yay or Nay? Love you in advance!

Directed Bridesmaids, the new Ghostbusters reboot and probably some other stuff. From those two things, at least, he's known as someone who appreciates women-centric / women-led stories, so I assume that's why they got him for this episode.

I don't like Alicia Witt. Never have. I appreciate that she's a fan, but this is a super boring episode. I actually think this is probably how I would be on TD (just...talking too much, telling stories no one cares about, etc), and I think that Hardwick would normally try to make up for that deficit. However, since they're besties, he just lets her keep going and I'm like :-|

So perfect and exactly why I gave no weight to what they said.

I, too, thought she was super pretty night 1. She didn't even bring the chickens like the woman who brought Lil' Sebastian, so it's not like he got rid of her because of weirdness. I don't remember anyone on the show saying that. And if they did, it never occurred to me that Jubilee had that opinion because she has darker skin. I think Jubilee had that opinion because her two biological parents are black.

Drop what? The friendship or the relationship? In my eyes, I don't think anything dropped in favor of the other. The only thing Rick and Michonne have done since they discovered their romantic feelings for each other that they wouldn't have done before is hold hands for 10 seconds and engage in brief back touching as they walked away from each other. And Michonne probably wouldn't have thrown that woman to the ground before, either. In this episode, no one had time for anything except for murdering.

Half my family is white and my biracial cousins all think of themselves differently, even the ones with the same parents. As a "full black" (ha!), I understand that sometimes you have a "shared consciousness" with biracial people, but only up to a point and it's easy to get too familiar with them when you don't really know their story. You really have to take each person as they are (obviously) and it's hard to judge what happened by that conversation. I can see the reality of this thing happening somewhere in the middle, but the fact that it was Jami and Amber makes me narrow my eyes. The timing and the attempts to buddy up previously that weren't reciprocated makes me think it was a grab for more screen time than an actual issue.

All I'll say is being good at your job doesn't mean you're good at navigating matters of the heart / the insanity that is The Bachelor. Case in point: Ben.

DO people know Amber's name, though? I'm pretty sure BEN didn't even know who she was when she walked in night 1. I think they were salty because no one cares about them. The women from this season tweet with each other constantly -- Jubilee included. No one's coming for Amber. Amber tried to get in on the fun after episode 3, tweeting Jubilee, saying something to make it seem like their spat was just a one time thing and that it blew over by the next day because they were cool. No response from Jubilee. But if I'm to go by what Amber talked about last night…yeah. Whatever. Her stunt backfired (again).

My goodness. I'm so glad to see my girl Jubilee back. First of all, I'm pretty sure that Amber and Jami were heavily encouraged to shit talk her for more face time. There's a significant chunk of the viewing public who didn't even know they weren't the same person. I think some things about the glaringly obvious issue with colorism going on, but that's not stuff you say in front of mixed company (wrong use of the phrase, no pun intended). Second, I've had a real problem with the show this year. When asked if he liked the idea of a black Bachelor on a podcast, Harrison said something like I'd rather have the show succeed than have a black Bachelor. As if the two were mutually exclusive. That, coupled with the way they continually come at Jubilee for making them look bad while maybe hoping to keep the door open for her for Bachelorette if people really want it angers me. Harrison talking to Jubes like he and Ben were bros and Ben called him late every night crying about his feelings for her was so transparent. She is my hero. She glowed tonight, owned her part, but wouldn't let anyone assign something to her just to assuage their own guilt. When she came for Ben, asking why he couldn't just say that he wasn't that into her, instead of making it seem like it was her fault for not opening up, when Ben clearly made the effort for other people, it was brilliant. And true. She's a smart woman and he should have seen this coming. Yet, he still tried to side step answering her. I'm not trying to take his humanity away -- God knows I'd be uncomfortable in a situation like this -- but every time he interacts with her, he takes a step backward in my eyes.

I'm still stuck on Rick punching the zombie head to mask the nose issue. Thinking back, I believe it was the way Rick studied the head after he punched it to make sure that he achieved the desired look that got me. That Andy Lincoln is a treasure.

Rick's plan was to attack an hour or two before dawn.

You know, I was dreading JB Smoove, but I didn't find him as bad this time. Maybe it's because I was still emotional from the episode. Compromised feelings or not, that bit about Heath and his glasses was inspired.

Whew! This episode...I felt like I was going to throw up as soon as they pulled up to the compound and it went on the entire episode. I started nervous crying. I still have tears in my eyes even as I type this. What a ride! Loved Rick punching the zombie head. Of course he did.

Rick didn't do anything for me the first few seasons, but when those I started seeing those posters with him standing on top of the prison? Something about the way he stood was really working for me. But that was it. Then when they got to Alexandria and he shaved that insane beard he was rocking? My goodness. And I don't even necessarily like him clean shaven, but that contrast made me sit up a little straighter. He never looked hotter to me than he did in 6x10, and not because of the obvious. That denim shirt...he needs to wear that at all times.

Yo, you guys scared me. I stopped watching last week's episode about 10 minutes in, in favor of watching The Walking Dead instead. So I thought I missed something big on this show because I was (re)watching the mindblower that happened on TWD. Glad to know this is just in anticipation.

Spoiler?

Not just you. I call men sluts and whores all of the time, too. None of this "man whore" stuff, either. No need to qualify it.

I could tell who Ben was feeling by the way he was dressed. The outfit he wore to Amanda's was a wreck and I'm pretty sure he had on Vans shoes. For the JoJo date he was just rocking a t-shirt and a random fleece zip-up which he left inside in his hurry to vacate the premises.

Columbus gal here. Nope.

Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. I may have tears in my eyes, like a loser. TEARS OF HAPPINESS!

Rick & Michonne. I'm crying. I'm screaming. I'm dead. THANK YOU GIMPLE!

How is it that Wyatt has still not figured out that whenever he is interested in someone Liam's involved with and Liam goes missing / is delayed / is not where he's supposed to be, it always comes out that his mother was involved? This time, especially, is so glaring. Liam's missing, Quinn is missing, Quinn keeps calling to check up on Wyatt and Steffy, though normally, she'd be reveling in their involvement on a first hand basis. This is one of the reasons I never liked Chickenhead. I just don't understand how you can actively pursue your brother's fiancee. Twice.

I don't know. I feel like too much and too little is being made of this portrait, simultaneously. All of the women leads of the show around 2013/2014 have similar portraits hanging around Forrester Creations (Brooke, Hope, Caroline, Katie and Maya). Rick just took the one of Maya and hung it up during his tirade last year. He actually planned to take it down before Eric got back from his jaunt around the world with John but Eric came back early and surprised him by saying that he should keep it up there and that this was Rick's home now. So now Rick has a portrait of his wife up on the wall. Big whoop. I think Rick just mentioned the lead model thing as a way to try to deflate Ridge's reasoning because Maya is also a part of the company. I've never really liked Ridge, so, even though slayer2 is correct in saying that Rick and Ridge are so similar, I usually find myself agreeing with Rick more. Ridge doesn't even live there, Eric gave his blessing for Rick to put the portrait up, but when Eric calls Ridge on the passive-agressiveness of his actions he a) feigns ignorance and b) whines that Rick didn't call him he decided to take Stephanie's portrait down. Well, yeah, he was still reeling from the fact that Ridge was making out with his wife for weeks behind his back, so... And Ridge is doing all of this as a man in his "50s" which makes the whole thing even more ridiculous to me.
