I accidentally first posted in "After Show" thread about this reunion. ITA. And this silly "Boston Strong" bond is why I can never hate any of these 4, no matter how much bullshit spews out of their mouths (Zach!). CT looked incredibly hot to me, bad haircut and all, although I wouldn't mind him growing that beard back. The fact that Bananas straight up admitted that "The Challenge" is how he supports himself made me want to throw up. What a pathetic tool.

Re: Reunion show Bananas straight up admitting that he doesn't work and "The Challenge" is basically his job made me so unbelievably sad. What a pathetic tool. Also? Laurel and Jordan are still together? Yikes.

Yep. I was practically screaming during the bike ride because Johnny R. was keeping up with Bananas at first and then dropped back. Considering the 32 minute lead Portland had at the end, if he'd biked even 10 minutes faster, he would have won. SO annoyed. I really felt sorry for Zach...until he called Laurel stupid and all of the other misogynistic bullshit coming out of his mouth during/after the rock climb. Come on dude! He did seem appropriately chagrined during the reunion however.

PREACH! I would have MUCH rather had Armen in the top 20 than Serge. Particularly because Armen is at the max age and can’t audition next year, and Serge could. Also, shallow as this is, Armen is way HOTTER. I know I’m in the minority but, I do not like Ricky or Rudy. I find both of their personalities exhausting. So angry that chipped tooth guy and Eric didn’t make the top 20 instead. Ricky may change my mind over the coming weeks, but I can tell that I'm going to want to punch Rudy in the nuts every time he's on my screen. Happy for Nick though.

God, this show. Every week it continues to surprise and thrill me. This was an excellent episode. Holy crap! I wanted all time to stop to be able to process this tidbit of information. And I was shaking my fist at the tv because we didn't get to see this intimacy. Maybe we'll be blessed with a flashback of the coupling? My only quibble with this episode was that I wished they had described/showed the amount of time passing better. This mess with Vanessa took place over a couple of weeks right? This piece just fell flat for me. But this is a very small complaint for an overall amazing hour of television.

"Expert" Suzy going OFF on how awful a person Laurel is, really made my night. Because damn, that unseen footage from the van showed Laurel to be a way more psychotic bitch than I realized.

Yes! I was so excited to see Warner in this role - he's perfect for it. I have a fondness for almost every character on this show, except Caliban and Brona, which considering where this storyline is probably going, is not a good sign. My Billie Piper tolerance level is very low and she's almost reached it. I'm embarrassed to reveal how many times I've rewatched the last 5 minutes of this episode. SO HOT.

Someone please explain to me why I am SO attracted to CT this season? The beard, the glasses...they are working for me. Anyway, can anyone remember exactly what Cohutta said about grabbing Nany's butt at the very end of the episode? It totally cracked me up and was definitely for me, the best quote of the episode.
