Them and Brianne...that is all for now.

This is exactly right. My mom met my dad at 19 and married at 20. They were both 54 when he suddenly passed away. She was a nice happy grandmotherly type but had never been on her own in her life so she ran out and got a bunch of plastic surgery, went on a diet and started dressing young. She could almost pass for my older sister. She was desperate to find a new man. And being that she was in her 50s, there was not a huge pool to choose from. She ended up with this loser who had NEVER: held a job, married or had kids. And he too had a record. She thought he was so good looking though. He moved right in and started to isolate her from us (when they were together around us she had to sit with him while he kept his hands all over her and she wouldn't get up to interact with my kids, he brought an attack trained pitbull to keep in her yard which he knew I was then hesitant to come around with my kids, he cleared out all my dads stuff - like his hunting rifles and tools- and sold it all and kept the money). He was just like this Matt loser on the show. At one point she called me over, told me she was done with him and showed me bruises all over her torso and upper arms. But he was back just a couple days later. This went on for about 3 years. We stopped going to her house because we didn't want our little kids around him and would only invite her (sans jerko) to functions but he had her refuse to come w/out him. Thank heavens she eventually saw the light. I think it was only because another fella came along. Now she's been with him for like 9 years but she's a bit bored with him (he's a nice regular grandfather type...an old, cranky, no-fun chubby guy...but WAY better than the old jerk). Recently I see the old jerk replying on her FB to everything he can...offering to help with this and that. I have my fingers crossed she doesn't float on back to that creep. Please, please, please! That look Briana had when the other ladies were talking to her and then when she was driving her car...I know that look. Before they even posted the update at the bottom, I KNEW she didn't leave Matt. She was just shut down, not hearing it and her mind was made up to sticking with that loser. He must have her convinced that he is just misunderstood and those ladies are the crazy jerks so she should just let them talk, smile and then say goodbye. Cause they will never understand- so there's no sense talking to them. Edit to add: and, yes, it's about her thinking she can't do better. And he, for sure, plays that up to the hilt.

I was hoping that was the case too. But then he followed it with something like 'but, hey, maybe they did [think I was a jerk]'. With a shrug that led me to believe he is truly clueless.

Well...except A- why would he go on Survivor with an ill sister at home and B- why the eff didn't he play for the love notes from home in the reward challenge instead of the stupid cheeseburger?

At 1:49 in the video, did Scot say 'I know they don't think I was a jerk because I wasn't'? Really!?!?!?!? Um, hello Scot!

They showed that in previews tonight. Wonder how far in relation to Elena and Brianna who seem to be almost the same many weeks pregnant. Eww to the double Eww on Matt. Brianna is so dumb.

Love Aubry and Tai is redeemed. My two fave now.

OMG...BEST>EPISODE>EVER!!!!!!! YES! Now I have to go back and read the previous posts! I want to say it was...well, I can't say but begins with an O.

Well, I am not quite going to sing the praises of the NEW guy. He left the wheel when that big wave hit...why was there nobody at the wheel? We saw how serious that is with Wild Bill and we have seen that season after season that they NEVER leave the ship unmanned. Sean should have been on close watch, especially in such bad weather. Also, we have seen all the big boys fish in that kind of weather and we didn't hear of any of them stopping for 2-3 days like Sean did. Did you see the leader board, Sean has very little crab on his boat. Nice calm chill guy is great but maybe not for fishing in the Bering Sea. And does anyone else wonder if maybe Josh got the wrong crab and they were too dumb to realize? Maybe we'll see next week when they go to unload?? One of them was pulling up wrong crab, Wild Bill I think. He mentioned that he could tell because of the color. But I didn't pay attention to the color he said.

Those women are nasty jerks, plain and simple. Even Holly at the end with the 'leg in the air like you just don't care'. It comes across as them being worried about their kid's spot and Bryn coming in and bypassing them. My DDs play a competitive sport and I see it happen all the time (parents who want to bring down other kids to knock the sail out of their wings, take away their confidence so they struggle). I have never said this because I feel we shouldn't talk about kids but since they put their kids out there for the world to see and since they feel it's completely okay to say a kid has no personality...their kids are not great at dancing and will NEVER be the next Maddie. Maddie was the only good one and now Mack is coming into her own and Bryn is right up there with them. The others plain out stink and should just pack it in. Those moms sold their soles to the devil all for naught. Despicable! Oh, and that was NOT hip hop but Mack's did look best. Good on her- to prove herself.

I was so hoping the dancers would go this episode so I don't have to hear her bitchiness anymore. She drives me nuts! Yes, Cole is a bit of a dud but he didn't bother me so much this episode and I liked how encouraging he was to his mamma. And man, she is my fave, she just rocks it out! Did not like all her crying in past episodes but I think now that she realizes she can 'hang' maybe she won't be so teary. The navigation though...they need to step it up there. Their continuing to just keep driving reminds me of my DH (I'd probably pull a Dana on my DH if we were on TAR but he'd deserve it...lol) and is just not the thing to do in a race. I like Tyler and Corey...they are cute. Don't mind the constant cheesing for the camera with them. Brody and what's-his-name...they do get on my nerves with Brody's constant yelling. He doesn't use a talking voice but a yelling voice and it bugs me just as much as Rick's constant gritty growly voice on TWD (Coral). The video gamers...they are a cute couple. I knew he'd pound out that 'puzzle' as it was so in his wheel-house. I was surprised to see that nobody pulled a Micah from that infamous TAR season failed water slide task. I probably would do just like she did and panic and refuse to go...especially the coffin style set up...nope, couldn't do it. Maybe if I hustled up the stairs and got right on without thinking about it or watching anyone else go. I chuckled at Corey's 'you're turn' quip to Tyler after the other team went.

Yeah, I think he volunteered to sit out, then Julia volunteered to go with the boys and the teams were divided and THEN Jeff asked what team Joe would root for...Joe should have said Julia's and then the boys couldn't have talked strategy with her or at least Joe would have heard exactly what.

Maybe they were going for this with the gold bikini:

When Joe chose which team to root for in the reward challenge- had Julia already volunteered to be on the guys' team? If so, he should have went with the guys' team too so he could hear what they talked about during the Chinese meal (whether they won or not they'd be separate from the girls team and talking with Julia).

Scot was voting Cydney Jason was voting Cydney Tai was voting Cydney Joe was voting Scot Debbie was voting Scot Aubry was voting Scot Michele was voting Jason Cydney was voting Jason But Julia was torn between Jason or Cydney and by her going to the douches and telling them of the split vote that said to me that she was voting Cydney. I don't see Julia as a great player. If she didn't win the IC she would have been the one gone and I DOUBT the douches would have used any idol to save her.

Ha. yes, it would be interesting, for sure!

If Aubry can get to Tai. She can have him convince the fugly twins that he'd combine his idol with their's to use as super idol if one of them gets voted for. Then the girl group can all vote for Cupcake and then when he looks at Tai and says' use the super idol' Tai can say 'nah'. And if Cupcake actually hands him his idol like he did last time, then Tai will walk away with the super idol. Oh, please please please let this happen. I bet it doesn't though and I bet Aubry or Cydney goes home.

Yeah, I'd only watch the finale to see all the drama around that. I'd have to drink through it though.

And can I say how I wish they made the Ponderosa a show...dang that had to be some interesting days!

Those poor guys being stuck at Ponderosa. I loved that one of them said they wish they could vote her out of Ponderosa. Too bad it couldn't be douche-bros stuck there at Ponderosa instead of Neal and Nick.

This is what they need to do and I hope it happens. It would be smart for Tai to keep his solo idol for himself. If he combines for a super idol it will only save one person...and that person might not be Tai, so he should save that idol for his own singular use. I hope Aubry really implants this idea on Tai next week. And it's honestly best for all of them to get rid of one of the heads of the ugly two headed tatted monster.

Well, except when the 'girls' alliance can't get at the 2 at the top (the jackholes) they will then go for #3 (Julia).

Matt is so skeevy...I totes agree. So inappropriate for his wedding...his behavior. The previews for what's to come on that front look interesting. Christy and that glass to the head...eye roll emoji (can't we add emojis on here?). And that new girl...what's her name, the platinum blonde???, she is a big time pot stirrer. Really can't stand any of them except Elena.

Mark the chicken ;-)

But the girls probably won't know that Tai gave it back. I am going to guess that they go for Jason but he uses the idol on himself so one of the girls goes home. They don't have enough to make a vote split work...unless they get Tai and Julia in with them. Both of them LOVE Lurch so maybe the girls can get them in to oust Cupcake. They'd have to make the two dingleberries do their rock, paper, scissors and hope that Scot gets the win and uses the idol on himself...then Jason goes. Too many things have to work perfectly for that to happen so I am guessing it won't.
