Money doesn’t make you a good person. Even paying all your bills on time doesn’t make you a good person. Having money issues doesn’t make you irresponsible or stupid or unworthy of comforts. However, counting other people’s money, gossiping about how they spend it, laying down judgments as to how someone should budget their funds, and using someone’s hard time to shame them, well, all those DO make you a bad person. Everyone would do well to learn that lesson. The reverence of money (and those who have it, like Heather) is astounding. Wealth is the very opposite of a virtue.

Tamra is a disgusting trash human being. What a dumpster fire of a person. She has no business being on this show. Please exchange her for Vicks, stat. I'd say I don't know how Eddie stands her... but I do. THOSE rumors are true. I don't like being exposed to her even through a TV. She's like secondhand cigarette smoke. Anyone who thinks that creature is capable of a genuine human emotion, let alone friendship, is utterly delusional. I can only imagine her costars are terrified of her and just want to stay on her "good side" to avoid her vitriol. Please, Bravo, STOP giving her a platform to be gross and awful. I'll take Shannon's drama any day over Tamra's insidious, soulless behavior.

Emily is projecting some of her insecurities onto Heather, but Heather just doesn't give a damn and is never willing to give Emily the time of day. They're not friends. The picture tells the story- everyone is in black pants and Emily is in jeans. She sticks out, not just because of her size but because her outfit was more casual and everyone else's was "chic." Heather could have just listened, said she was sorry Emily didn't feel great, and keep it moving. But no, she had to grandstand about how great a person she is. She gave Emily a 2-second perfunctory acknowledgement before dismissing her. It's the dismissal that hurt Emily. Then Heather quickly unmasked herself when she made the point that, actually, the dress was TIGHT on Emily. Ok, bitch. I see you. Emily's dress wasn't tight. It fit properly and beautifully. Heather's too busy making herself look like a saint to care about anyone else. And IMO, she looks down on anyone who isn't as sickly thin as she is.

I used to like Alexis. A lot. I defended her against Tamra, and Gretchen, and the pile-ons. But she meant none of her rhetoric, and she used her faith as a talking point for a storyline. She only believes in Her Man, whomever that might be at the moment. She’s going 10x harder for some new boyfriend than she did for the father of her children! What a charlatan. Can’t stand her now.

I called weeks ago that Devin was about himself and was just trying to win the show. He monopolized Jen's time, he played victim when she wouldn't immediately give him the "ILY," he cosplayed future fiance with the family. He intentionally said all the things he knew she wanted to hear, and that the family would want to hear. Even when he was asked why he loved Jen, the answers were all about him. He basically backed her into a corner to make him the "winner." Now that he got the ego boost, he's on to greener pastures. He played her and everyone else. Different guy when the cameras stopped rolling. Marcus isn't ready for a real relationship either. Here's hoping she calls Jonathan at some point. Devin deserves the worst publicity. He just didn't give a damn once he wasn't on TV anymore. I can't believe her brother didn't sock him in his face after that master class in lying he put on.

Can I vote for Just Sam again, please?

She’s either truly delusional or the best producer plant of all time.

Not that I have much use for the judges (most of their picks are head-scratching at best), but tonight just really drove home that America is voting for mediocrity. The best three singers were "bottom 3." Please don't bother telling me that Abi, McKenna, or Kayko are remotely better singers than Jayna and Roman. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's more than just singing - but at a certain point, it's just a personality contest orchestrated by Chris Poolie. Poor performances have no consequences and no critique! I guess playing to the Swifties was smart - given how poor and plastic the renditions were, I thought it was going to backfire.

Everyone says we need Simon back, and I agree, but I'd take Randy Jackson at this point. "That was a little pitchy, dawg." At least 5 people were woefully out of tune tonight and it wasn't even mentioned. Sit down, judges! Standing O's on Idol used to mean something! Of the judges' saves, Roman was the only one I agreed with. Really hope he sticks around for a bit. No one should ever sing Whitney, even if they can do it well. I'm very over McKenna and Abi. Everything they sing sounds the same and I'm bored of them. The vocal fatigue is starting to show on almost everyone. Hope there's a night off coming soon. If there are vocal coaches, they aren't helping in this regard.

Angelina's delusion is strong. "Sam's Back" was a year-long campaign because Sam needs to make a name for herself. Angelina herself singlehandedly brought Sam into the house. Sure Jan. I honestly can't believe the gall of her to say that SHE MADE SAM THE MONEY THAT BOUGHT HER A HOUSE. What an absolute twit. She's embarrassing herself, not Sam. She must be paid to act this way and keep drama rolling, because the show would be canceled otherwise. Sam gave ZERO to the Ron encounter drama that they were hoping for. Without Vinny hamfistedly working overtime to make it awkward for cameras, it wouldn't even have been worth a teaser. Big ol' nothingburger of a trip.

This is an entirely subjective conversation, but I could definitely see this during the original run. She was naturally beautiful, just like Sam. And she had moxie. Unfortunately, I think Mike's mean comments and the toxic diet culture of the 2000s did a number on her. The plastic surgery has her looking like a plastic Bratz doll (Jennie hasn't fared much better but at least hers is slightly more subtle). I really find it sad that she felt the need to make such drastic changes to her appearance. And as always, no matter how beautiful your facade, anyone will seem less attractive over time if their character is poor. DM'ing a married guy is a bad look no matter what's going on in your life and no matter what a producer might have suggested.

Sam took a course in handling conflict or got some really good therapy since 2013. She's not the reactionary 20-something we saw in the original. She handled Angelina like a vet handles a rabid dog. Mike and Lauren's son is so beautiful, I could cry. My son is 1 right now and I'm just a weepy mess over cute toddler boys. I'm so happy for them. I hope Vinny and Pauly aren't making as much as the rest of the cast - they're never there! I am looking forward to Ron's return because of Sam's eventual non-reaction. Everyone is expecting her to have a meltdown and I can already tell she's going to handle it with maturity. Mike's made a transformation, but I think Sam had her own glow-up off camera. After years of being blamed for all of SamRon's drama, I think this might be the final gem in her Redemption Crown. Ron's kind of showed that he's the magnet for drama. I hope Sam holds her head high and kills with cordiality. If nothing else, this show is a great representation of how bad, silly, and poor behavior in your 20s doesn't have to define you into your 30s. Angelina is likely paid/encouraged by producers to be a hot mess, but I sincerely hope Ron's made strides since the last time he was on the show. That stuff is just too dark for the Shore crew.

Angelina is delusional and green with envy. She better watch out - her outsides are starting to match her insides. Sam owes her nothing. Does Angelina think viewers are stupid? MTV begged Sam to come back for years, did salary negotiations, drew up a contract, and Sam agreed. It has ZERO to do with Angelina. Speaking about the price of Sam’s house was gross. Also, she purchased it with Justin. Mind your business, dirty hamster. The girls still suck. They never defended Sam when Ron was abusive to her, and now they’re acting like she’s trying to go 10 rounds with trashy Angie. Maybe shut the girl down and put her in her place? I’d be jealous of Sam too - still naturally beautiful and now finally secure with herself. So happy she’s back - Ang is obviously jealous of the attention that’s brought.

All of these people are unhinged. Ariana, you have no business telling everyone else how to feel. You are more than entitled to hate Tom. But to threaten no contact with anyone who associates with him while you cohabitate with him? No one is gonna support that. You're thriving and found a new relationship in 5 minutes. Scheana, you are famous for having an affair with Eddie Cibrian. Lala, your claim to fame is cavorting with a married guy and then flipping to tell all women to leave their men. James, you are as big a ho as the rest of them. Ariana, you got with Sandoval while he was with your friend. YES, WHAT TOM DID WAS GROSS, YOU ALL ARE NO BETTER. A year of pots calling the kettle black is really old. Most of this cast REALLY wants attention and acts like Sandoval cheated on THEM. And they were twice as vicious to Rachel. Amazing to watch these people try to stake out the moral high ground. None of them have an ounce of self-awareness. Scheana looked downright terrifying tonight. Brock seems nice enough but she's milking every tiny grievance for all it's worth. I feel bad for their daughter. Worth clarifying: Ariana hasn't mandated anyone HATE Tom. She'd simply prefer her friends not interact with him at all. Hate is deep and it's a choice. And telling someone who didn't cheat on you that you have to stop hating them for your own health is kind of the peak of self-indulgence and callousness. It really grossed me out, and that's saying a lot when Sandoval is so allergic to accountability.
