I am frankly surprised that Kelly lasted this long.  She seemed a little too smart for the influencer/beauty queen group.  I thought she would quit the show on her own, but what her elimination really showed me was that Peter is shallow and thinks with his dick. 

None of the remaining women are even remotely wife material.  I actually find it scary how vapid and self-obsessed they are. Someone up thread mentioned being a mom at 24 and not relating to these women.  I was not a mom at 24, but I had some serious goals, other than makeup, clothes and screwing.  I cannot relate to this bunch at all.  The emotional maturity of the contestants has dropped off a cliff.

I agree. None of them are wife material, especially Madison and Hannah Ann. They are just too young - maybe in three or four years.

Kelly to me was just smug and condescending. She may think she's smart, but she sure doesn't sound like she is from the way she mangles English, which I am assuming is her mother tongue.

Kate did not break girl code! How can you break girl code when Tanner and Simone didn’t have a relationship other than sleeping with each other? When Kate went to Tanner, he and Simone weren’t even doing that. I also don’t understand why people keep saying Kate is a bully. Is she a bully because she wants people to do what they were hired to do and do it well? Unfortunately, I know first hand what bullying is and I fail to see her being one.

I agree, and sadly, this has become  one of the most over-used words in the English language today.

I hated Kate's dress - she really needs a stylist and to lay off the fillers that give her a speech impediment. Sounded to me like Andy alluded to her heading over to RHNY. That should be interesting....

Speaking of Andy, he was an over the top extra dick tonight.

I really want to like Rhylee, but she needs to dial it down about ten notches and stop inserting herself in everyone else's issues. She is just so damn crass. She looked nice, though.

Courtney handled herself very well - the complete opposite of Simone, who still just.does.not. get. it.

I blame Zach.  He could’ve nicely told Mindy that 1) she is lovely and he wishes there was a spark but unfortunately he didn’t feel it, 2) he’s hoping to grow an attraction as he gets to know her better, and 3) it would help if they did fun dates / relationship exercises / sports activities / etc to try to grow a friendship first.  Instead he doesn’t say anything nice, repeatedly tells her he finds her unattractive and it’s on her to fix that, and maybe if he spends time away from her he will find her attractive.  It is utter bullshit.

I think he did express both of these things - albeit in his circuitous garbled way.

Now this is a thing men do to?

I've never heard of guys not wanting to wear wedding rings in my life. Unless they are cheating which goes without saying.

Maybe some people just don't like wearing jewelry or worry about losing or work at jobs where they could easily lose it. These are things I've heard men and women voice as reasons against rings.

My husband didn't wear his after about a week and occasionally when getting dressed up. Didn't bother me at all. Neither my brother nor BIL have worn theirs since the weddings!

I think Brandon is an alcoholic or drug addict. He keeps saying he’s having panic attacks where he starts shaking. But I’m thinking, no, that’s just your body going through detox Brandon.

He doesn’t want the cameras following him to the bar when he starts drinking early in the morning. So he doesn’t go to the bar. But without the alcohol he’s mean and anxious. I hope Dr. Cal is also familiar with the 12 steps of AA because Brandon needs a sponsor more than he needs a wife.

I think this is a real possibility. That used to happen to me before I got sober, and  I remember being shocked that my panic attacks went away after I detoxed.

I used to enjoy this show, but it is really awful now. It just appears to be a bunch of trashy drunks trying to out trash and out drink each other. Maybe it always was and it just gets tiresome after a while, but I really can't get through an entire episode anymore. There just isn't really anyone likeable on the show, but the fact that Stassi has become the least annoying is somehow a very sad commentary.

Can't believe I'm saying this - I find Kristen the least annoying, and a few years ago, thought she was completely certifiable.

[S24.E05: Week 5 - Costa Rica]

I started out tonight liking Tammy's refreshing honesty. Then she completely lost her mind and I am done with her. 

Mykenna, you are a cute young girl and definitely the most natural looking, but for the love of humanity, please stop crying and put your damn tongue back in your mouth and leave it there.

Kelsey is a manipulative basket case, plain and simple. She can stop the histrionics any time as well. I can't stop looking at her nose and wondering how she can breathe out of those teeny nostrils.

As had been mentioned, Sydney has the worst vocal fry. Maybe she can go hook up with Blake at Stagecoach.

I don't know about Kelly. She seems too chill. I thought somebody with a law degree would be able to speak proper English, but sadly not.

I ff'd through the Cosmo stuff but I think that Victoria F. Is the least attractive of all the girls. She has a real case of RBF. Was she the one that won for sucking face with Pete? 

Somebody last week noted the similarity between Unreal and this show. I think they have started using the actual playbook from that show, except there is no humour in this.

I would love to have seen Gina’s meals while she was “working really hard”.

What Gina (and many other poundticipants) need is a very strict rehab for overeating.  They would be banned from any outside food sources and required to attend classes to learn what comprises an appropriate meal for a 1200 calorie (per day, not meal) diet.  Heck they should even have to learn to cook.  Not to mention exercise.  Along with all that, daily group therapy to discuss how to stop using food every time they feel anxious / sad / bored / stressed / every emotion under the sun.  I know it would be very expensive but might improve the success rate.  Who knows, they might even learn the motivation to keep it up when they get back home.

Yes.

This was a really strange episode. Have we ever seen anyone on this show that was this full of shit? I am pretty darn sure that Dr Now must give them a food plan along with the calorie restriction. I have heard him tell all other poundticipants to stick to low carb high protein foods. These people obviously have no clue what a healthy diet consists of and I was astounded at the nutritionist’s advice. Fat free mayo and sour cream?? Those things are full of additives and sugar! This fat free BS promoted by the food industry has been debunked at least ten years ago, and nutritionists should know this.

That trip to the grocery store was a real head shaker – one teeny bag of baby carrots, one stalk of broccoli and two green peppers??? How exhausting that must have been – no wonder she crashed the scooter cart.

And if she never left her house, how in hell would she know what a normal weight person looks like? She is surrounded by obesity, and can’t imagine she’d be successful in this environment. I was actually shocked that she only weighed in at just over 600. And Beth must have some real issues if she chooses to live with this bunch.

Another thing that annoyed me more than it should have…that stupid, hideous, useless purple ceramic elephant. Why the hell wouldn’t they make a plate or a dish so at least it would be one less piece of styrofoam/plastic/paper take out crap to clutter the landfill. I know, too lazy to wash dishes…oy.

Of all the annoying people on this show, nobody can top Scheana for me. I can't get to the mute button fast enough every time she opens her mouth. Everything that comes out of it is excruciatingly vapid and her voice makes my ears bleed. I find her so awful that I would actually prefer to watch the British wanker instead of her.

Why the purple Westin hotel wristbands???

Does the hotel need to make sure they are guests and not crashing along with a camera crew?

Don't forget, they are at The Westin.

We recently were at a resort in Mexico that gave us wristbands. They were waterproof and had a plastic thingie on them that acts as your room key. Super handy - just tap your wrist on your door, and voila!

While Zach is as shallow as a puddle, I could kind of see where he was going in terms of trying to do things together that would put them at ease with each other and help develop a level of comfort that they would be able to talk about more personal stuff, and maybe attraction will grow. I know – giving him huge benefit of the doubt here… Instead, Mindy’s approach was basically just asking him to throw her a bone (not that kind of bone) and hounding him with questions about where they are in this marriage. He was not really articulating very well what I think he meant, and she was definitely not getting it.

I would have been just as pissed as Brandon if someone was filming me sleeping/snoring. I don’t believe he had a panic attack, unless his anger brought one on. His reaction was over the top. And while it is difficult to deal with the silent treatment, Taylor was making his withdrawal worse by continually trying to do things to for him throughout the day – although there’s no doubt she meant well. I don’t think they are at all compatible – too immature and too different personalities.

I don’t know what to think about Meka/Michael. I think she is very uptight and not very flexible. He is not being truthful about what he said to upset her, but I am not 100% sure that he said verbatim what she interpreted. And since it was off camera, we will never know.

I still love the adorkable Jessica and Austin, and really hope that they make it.

Katie and Derek are in deep infatuation – will see how long this stage lasts.

There's very little doubt in my mind that the producers tinkered with the Morsel and Anna story and yet no matter how many different ways they tinker with it, I'm still not interested. Get back to me if it turns out Morsel is already married to a sheep or something in Turkey.

I've concluded that Jasmin is just an asshole. 

And speaking of assholes, Tania. Holy crap. Imagine the nerve of standing there in a wedding dress saying, "How sure am I supposed to be? Nobody tells you!" How about at least as sure as you were about going to Costa Rica for a month to become a witch doctor? How about at least as sure as you are about wearing that hot pink shirt again for the 10th day in a row? Syngin's friend posing the question, "Is Tania worth it" elicited a very loud, almost involuntary "NO!"screamed at my TV. Tania's friend Alex was the only person in that scene who had a lick of sense. Strangely, I've begun to really dislike Tanya's mother. You would think I wouldn't have liked her because of her maniacal monitoring of her Jack Daniels, but I just don't like the way she comports herself, overall. She comes off like a bitch. Like the kind of Karen who always wants to speak to your manager.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I really liked Sequim Mike's K1 attorney. Her little wino decor in her office reminded me of attorneys that I've worked for. I can't imagine how frustrating being an immigration attorney must be in this political climate. I do not begrudge her her wine. She probably needs it after a day of dealing our state department.

I mentioned this in the live chat but it's worth pointing out again that porn granny, did not of her own volition bring her checkbook to brunch with Robert and Anny to give Anny an "out." That felt contrived as Hell. First off, nobody carries a checkbook anymore. Second, how is writing a check going to change what porn granny said was a relationship of convenience? Robert still needs a babysitter and Anny still needs a green card, so if that were the arrangement being made, what business is it of porn Granny's? And how is paying "the babysitter" to go away in any way helpful to Robert or to Bryson? That said, I think porn Granny's husband is probably right in that there will come a time when Robert wants that money.

All of this! Especially the part about Anna and Murcel. I have been saying since day 2 that this is as real as Jasmin's face.

I wonder if there’ll be a Part Two or follow up? How much did that huge lymphoma weigh? Surely it was removed at some point. 

Dirty sheets, depressing room. I even thought I saw a bug crawling on him.  It’s sad how people can sink so low into depression. This level of obesity is more about mental illness than junk food addiction. 

Dr Now possesses a kind disposition, but people like JT need therapy and lots of it. We only get one chance at life and he could’ve been a handsome guy living a much fuller life.

So sad. Hope he’s ok. The wee dog too.

I was very surprised that Dr Now didn't send him for therapy, but I don't think a session or two with Lola or that little guy whose name escapes me would even make a dent in his issues. I wonder if something was done off camera - I think a combination of therapy and medication would be beneficial for him.

I also think that the girlfriend being gone is better for him. She was a codependent enabler, and wouldn't actually be surprised if part of the reason she left was because they couldn't gorge on junk all day long.

She sniffed a cat’s breath, a beard and/or an armpit.  She had someone apply chub rub cream.  She talked incessantly, loudly and obnoxiously about herself. She said she doesn’t care about her weight.

Grangela and Mykul. Don't care - wish they would be gone.

Mike and Nat. Does she have a mouthful of cotton?

Michael and Juliana. Unless she was morbidly obese or gave birth, there is no way in hell she lost 22 lbs in 2 weeks. Now I don't know what to believe from her. It sure was generous of her betrothed to get her a bicycle <sarcasm> unless she is not licensed to drive in the US.

Anna and Morsel. Still not buying any of this vomit inducing bullshit.

Blake and Jasmine. These two have zero chemistry or communication. Still can't figure out why she isn't staying with her bff sister. 

Tania and Syngin.  For chrissake you can cut an apple, you dumb cow. No words for the armpit smelling. She is just disgusting.
