I don't believe any of this. It comes across like terrible third rate acting.

Meghan's stylist has a great sense of humor. Friday can't come soon enough! (I wouldn't be disappointed if good breaking news interrupts the sign-off).

I'm not smart enough for this show. I guess you need a good mind for metaphor! Alyssa's ego will inflate even more after avoiding this eviction. She loves that Christian singled them out as the beautiful people. I hope she doens't morph into a Gillian Flynn "cool girl."

Katie looks like she stepped out of a Robert Palmer video. Very distracting.

I know! I'm watching through the slats of my fingers.

I still can't admit to anyone in my real life that I watch this show.

This is precisely how I feel. I cannot warm up to him. He comes across as a whiny tool without much sex appeal despite being, as you said, reasonably good looking. Ah well. Was Nick wandering around Italy asking for directions to the library? I can't stop laughing.

This preview is over-the-top. Why is this season so dark and joyless? Ugh.

I hope Katie doesn't pick Andrew because he would make a great bachelor. It would be great to tune in for the right reasons (and not be zoning out or cleaning during the next season).

I agree. I like him a lot!

Yes. Summer in Milan (any Milan) is going to be like Emily in Paris, Y and R style. In other words, about on par with the source material.

He really did look like a glazed donut. I was getting distracted watching Katie's reflection bounce off of his forehead.

Wow! Good call.

Same. I fell asleep at three different points in this episide. And I wasn't particularly tired when I started watching! I hate that these guys are vetting each other -- leave that to ABC. So dull.

Yeah, they are *bad* kissers. Katie looks like she's kissing them vertically! There should be some head tilts at least.

Aaron is so boring. He has hall monitor energy and adds nothing to this cast.

Yes, exactly. And there's peer pressure to have to share or immediately become suspect. I think i'd also tread really carefully and invent a "safe" story: believable, but not too revealing.

I hate these "confession" style roundtables. It's like another kind of stripping date (which i also find distasteful).

These dates make it pretty easy to eliminate people straightaway.

The correct answer is yes. I'm shocked he left so soon too. Seems very premature for the clear drama-maker to leave at this stage. Also glad military didn't show up.

Haha! This is an incredible read of Tara. Her creepy low tone and reptilian expressions added to the weirdness of this scene. Really hoping for an Ashland/Tara con too. I sort of like Victoria's energy with Locke -- she seems almost... alive.

Exactly. Meghan McCain's job security is unreal. Pretty sure she could shoot any of her co-hosts on Fifth Ave and still have a job. (Sarcasm aside, I really don't know where the line is with her. ABC is going to keep the hostile workplace going for as long as possible if the ratings are good, I guess.)

Although I admit to mocking and disparaging this person every chance I get, I do agree with your sentiment. She needs help asap.

Exactly. Bill got vaccinated *and* got covid? I think someone needs to go on a diet asap!

I don't get my second vax for a couple of weeks, but I will approach my reemergence into society in the same way. Meghan is going to be shocked when the virus doesn't pat her on the head and say, "Great job! Because you made such a huge sacrifice by wearing a mask, you can finally do whatever you want now -- you earned it!" Personally, I wish she'd wear a mask forever to muffle all of the nonsense she spews on a daily basis.
