    I've heard so many reality show contestants say they're "here for my kids", and I think, wouldn't your kids be better served if you were HOME WITH THEM? Like, there was a single mother (so she told us 1,000 times) who was eliminated early on. Who had her three young kids when she was on the show?

    Don't mind me; I'm just a childfree, hateful shrew of a cat lady.

    "What's your inspiration?"  "My Kids are my inspiration!"  If I hear that one more time...argh!  It's fine to love your kids, and have them inspire you, but aren't there other things that may inspire you?  Colorful sunsets?  Your Dog? The homeless people you helped last Christmas?  So annoying.

    Nope Nope Nope Grodner, I'm not doing it. I cannot watch the Field's family show anymore. Like i said previously, they really wanna give her some $$, no idea why. I may just dip out here.

    I wish they would just cut her a check and keep her off television.

    For me, the only downside to Jeff's 'flameout' (sorry, couldn't resist) is the possibility that he might show up the next season in some sort of redemption-like arc.

    Going forward, if Jeff is on any show again, I'll not watch.  His narcissism was so bad and too much for me to handle, quite frankly.

    Gary's crying broke my heart.  

    Will we get an after the show reunion to discuss things?  I'd like to know how everyone fared after.

    It's strange that David never learned to speak or to read lips, at all, given that all of his family is hearing. I was surprised to see he is permitted to drive, since he can't hear approaching traffic including sirens, but disturbed to watch him sign while driving.   

    Hey there.  My husband is deaf and has a similar back story as David somewhat.  I'm surprised his family never really learned ASL for David.  My husband's mom learned it fluently and went on to interpret at the deaf school in North Dakota and also for main streaming deaf kids in hearing schools.  My hubby's sisters also learned sign.  His dad never got the hang of it though, but they did their best.  Hubby went to oral school to learn how to speak and lip read.  A lot of times it's not a matter of if they feel like learning it or trying to avoid the deaf accent.  Reading lips is really difficult and some just don't get the hang of it.  My hubby tries to speak and gets a few understandable words out, but for the most part, he doesn't speak.  He can't read lips, no matter how hard he tried.  

    Sometimes there are only a few deaf schools, if any, in any particular state, so it might be that David was sent to one of the only deaf schools in his state and his family lived in another part of the state.  I can see feeling the dorm kids as part of his family.  The Deaf community is pretty close knit.  I have a feeling that David wasn't afforded an interpreter in order to go to a hearing high school closer to home.  

    Also, the Deaf are perfectly capable to drive and do just about anything else, short of being able to hear.  My hubby usually sees the firetrucks and police before I do, and I'm hearing!  As for oncoming traffic, he's just more alert behind the wheel is all.  And sometimes when we are on long trips, I'll play the music really loudly so he can feel the bass and the beat. :)

  5. I'm wondering, do they HAVE to stay in the same area?  For example, if Matt decides to travel a little further (If the finger cut doesn't take him out) he can hunt more effectively.  Could he stay out a bit further?  I know there has to be some collaboration, but they are messing up his hunting.  I guess he could say to the others, "Hey, I'm going in this direction.  Please don't come out this way and I'll share what I catch" ? Just so that he actually CAN catch something?

    That's how people with damaged personalities operate.  My sister was just like Ed.  Would never take responsibility for anything.  Instead would redirect the blame onto the other person.  Ed used the same tactic to deal with Jenny when she tried to explain to him how his behavior was hurtful to Liz.  "Oh your comment was rude" he kept on repeating.  So he turns the criticism or blame onto Jenny so she either tries to defend herself by saying "How was I rude" enabling Ed to avoid the discussion of his hurtful behavior or she tries to get through to him which won't work because he'll just keep repeating his criticism "I'm not discussing this with you because you were rude to me" to the point where Jenny gives up in frustration.  Either way Ed distracts from the issue and refuses to look at his own behavior.  With my sister it was an overwhelming sense of unworthiness that she couldn't bear to face so she developed these nasty behaviors as a defense mechanism.  It was a shame really because the only person who thought she was totally unworthy was herself.  But yeah people like my sister and Ed can't admit to anything they've done wrong ever.  Like Ed was saying he would deny he was cheating forever.

    Don't forget Jenny's epic line after she left the area after arguing with Ed, "Geez, where did they find this guy?"  hahaha

    Libby needs to take her wanna-be nightclub nursery rhyme act out of there.  If you've ever been around a kid, they would hate it.

    I think that most kids would like a light happy voice for nursery rhymes.  Not a bluesy, husky, gin joint voice.  It seems to me that Libby is trying to mimic some of the bluesy country music she probably likes.  She needs lessons!!!!

    . Oh, and Jenny, a woman (or man) in your 60's you should know never to get on a ladder, or a chair when you are alone and nobody to spot you. I know many people that have fallen this way and gotten hurt much worse than she did. 

    I wonder if Summit refused to do it so she had to do it herself.  He then complained that he had to take care of her.  For a woman in her 60s, she hasn't learned much about life.

  9. I hope I'm not the only one angry with the men who think that after a woman says no they go out there anyway and blow up their phones and stalk them in their own country, trying to show up at their homes.  Both Mike and Ben have been the worst offenders.  Woman says no, go away I don't want to be in a relationship with you, should be the end.  Do they think that stalking them will make them change their minds?

    My ex did that.  I told him outright to get out of my life.  It was only till he found someone else that he agreed to go away.  Even years later he'd try to contact me to catch up on things then ask about our past relationship.  Dude, it's been 10 years, leave me alone!  I ended up having to delete my email!

    As for the rest, well, as an overweight woman, I understand some of Ella's viewpoint, but don't condone the things she did.  She'd better be on the straight and narrow with Johnny from now on.

    Jasmine, wow.  There are times when she seems almost reasonable, then she starts screeching and losing her mind.  And Gino is no prize either.

    I find it ultra manipulative for Usman to tell Kim that he could have any woman he wanted but he picks her.  Oh right, like you are doing her a favor.  Kim needs to wake up and dump him.  He can never be trusted.

    Hamza is lovely.  Honestly, what a good guy.  And his family.  I hope that his heart doesn't get broken.

     and especially…….the evil Jack o Lantern’s ominous ha, ha, ha introduction! 🎃 hey, FN, it wasn’t broke, so don’t try to fix it! 

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses the Evil Jack O Lantern.  I look forward to that every year!

  11. Thank God the season is over.  I wouldn't have minded so much if only Erin wasn't there.  She was horrible.  Between her being so nasty and her stupid voice, I spent each episode angry.  

    Also, this seemed like a Cake Wrecks Holiday Edition show.  Ug.

    so they are trying to be politically correct and hired tra banks (black) and she has long flowing BLONDE barbie hair  and her skin color is the lightest I have ever seen it.....kind of misses the point,doesn't it> 

    Tyra is an executive producer of the show, so my guess is that her vanity got her the gig.  But I'm not sure if she was the one to give Tom the ax specifically.  I doubt she'll seeing herself off the show any time soon.

    that had to be a long time ago that she was on when they would still let an old person play instead of LOGAN'S RUN-ing the show and not let anyone over 30 in the house.

    Best quote ever!

    Does anyone know if Asuleu's sister was actually using ASL or just hand signals ??

    My husband is Deaf and we communicate with ASL.  Asuelo's sister was not using ASL.  I'm not sure what version they use in Samoa, but this looked more like pantomime than sign.

    Didn't Pedro's mother and sister demand expensive gifts be sent to them in the DR? And Devar's family, too? I think we've seen several cultures on this show where the children are expected to send money back home to their families and it's been an ongoing point of contention between the couples

    I vividly remember my Sicilian mom and her mom sending big care packages back to family and friends in Sicily.  They were huge.  Mom would stuff them full of food, magazines, cigarettes, etc.  I think she also sent money.  A lot of cultures do it.  I think if you want to send a package of your own free will, fine.  But to stomp your foot and demand it from your kid who is struggling to care for his own family is really selfish.

    I thought that was a dig at the small Moldovan airport.

    I was guffawing at that.  My husband is from a small town in North Dakota.  The airport in his town looks like a small house and there is one short landing strip.  The Moldovan airport looks palatial in comparison.
