  1. For once, I actually feel bad for Connor. Justine was right when she said everything was falling in place for him. Mackenzie was finally gone and I was naïve enough to think he was developing an actual relationship with Moira specifically because they weren’t forcing it and trying to fall in love in three days. Given that she was crying two days ago about not having anyone there for her, I thought she would appreciate this, but no, she continues to fawn over the latest dude to inexplicably express interest in her with the most half assed of compliments like “you seem cool.” And now of course she’s questioning everything. I’m getting very tired of Moira. Thrilled that Cely has options outside of Johnny. Not thrilled that Benny seems like if Johnny were somehow more of a fuckboy. I can’t wait for Johnny to get called out. At this point, it’s not like Cely can win the money anyway, so at this point I just want her to have the chance to get someone who actually cares about her. Johnny really thinks Cely's family will welcome him with open arms after watching him suck face with Mercades for days? Caleb roasting Johnny was the highlight of the episode.
  2. While I appreciate everyone's loyalty to Connor, Johnny has some nerve talking about how Mack betrayed Connor after his CA antics. I want Jalen to pursue Kierstan in the most blatant way possible. She deserves it but Mack's meltdown would be epic.
  3. Watching the host flirting with the men on the after show was extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention Johnny reciprocated, which basically confirms everything we already know about where Connie/Johnny end up. At least I feel like I get Connie/Johnny as a conceptual pairing. Johnny presents as a nice, laid-back guy, and the experts probably thought he'd calm Connie's anxiety and patiently bring her out of her shell, but it's clear from her weepy audition she never should've been cast. Both the experts/producers and Connie expected this total stranger to heal her and fix all her emotional problems and relationship insecurities, which was unfair to Johnny even if he turned out to be a bit of a self-centered ass. With that said, Connie trying to frame knowingly serving herself up for increasingly humiliating rejections every week as some sort of loyalty to herself or "the process" is painful. She's desperate to cling to Johnny as long as she can, even though he's given her nothing for weeks. But WHY would they pair Steve, who bragged about being repulsed by a 49-year-old on sight, with a 48-year-old woman? He strikes me as someone who still hits on 25-year-olds, but claims to date mid-30s to seem more acceptable. So he's as much of a horndog as Mishel after all, he just finds women over 40 grotesque. Guaranteed he would've been all over Haley or Poppy - or probably more accurately, Cathy or Connie. Not to be shallow, but he looks rough for 52 and has the personality and temperament of someone in their 70s. Steve has a lot of gall waltzing in there demanding a 35-year-old. Drew seems to have one foot out the door with Kasey, which is surprising because she seems totally smitten with him. I've warmed to her in recent episodes. Throwing away his stuff wasn't cool at all, but he seems to still be fixated on her love of the Instagram lifestyle. At a certain point it's like...dude, she's way out of your league and willing to FLY to you every weekend on her own dime, let her enjoy her LV handbags and shit in a bucket if you need to feel so superior about materialism. It's not like she's salivating over him as another walking credit card like Stacey.
  4. I don't feel bad for Connor at all. Again, at this point I just think he gets off on being super submissive. At least three other women have told him to his face that they were into him and open to pursuing him, even in an entirely new villa ffs, and he's shown zero interest. Maybe he's just one of those guys that likes their girlfriend dictating and controlling everything they do, either because it's easier or because they like the thrill of the drama. I actually like Sher and Calvin together a lot, probably because watching anyone talk to Moira is like watching paint dry. Don't understand the group's sudden interest in Aaron when the rest of the new dudes seem to have more personality. I like how Carrington is at least straightforward, but it is like watching an oversexed jock. That broad daylight shower handjob with other people on the other side of the door was pretty grimy, even for this show. I guess shower sex is his go-to move? And Laurel asking Gi'Nelle to "hand her a rag"...nasty! Johnny thinks he can just waltz back to Cely like nothing happened after all of that? Twitter has taken to calling Mercades Honda Civic, Toyota, Buick, Nissan, Ford Fusion, etc. and it's glorious.
  5. Connor: "It's really exhausting having to constantly defend my relationship with Mackenzie to everyone!!!" Uhhh...maybe that's a sign you shouldn't be in it? I'm starting to think he gets off on toxic relationships because that's the third girl who has expressed concern for him/attraction to him and he just shrugs and skips home to Mack. Johnny is trash. He has some nerve to pout about the idea of Cely kissing another guy when he dry humped Mercades in front of the group for no reason. You know you've fucked up when Carrington is judging you for your wandering eye. The fact that he's "tempted" away from a deep emotional connection by a girl who doesn't even talk to him before shoving her tongue down his throat really reminds me he's your average 22-year-old after all. I don't want Kierstan pining after Carrington because he'll only waste her time. Hopefully one of the CA dudes will scoop her up.
  6. Moira is desperate, but I cannot describe how much I want her to leave BSB in the dust for a dude who's super into her. I hope no one goes for Calvin either. He thinks he's such hot shit. I'm very disappointed in Johnny. Mercades' body is nice, but she seems whiny and annoying with Mackenzie level control issues (per the preview). She could rival Mack with her possessive high school girlfriend vibes. Meanwhile, Cely is imo, ThE hOttEst giRL in ThE ViLlA next to Kierstan, with the best personality by miles, and is totally devoted to him. (As a disclaimer, I'm bi and super into her, but my opinion still stands.) It's a letdown to watch him contemplate throwing her out the window for the first girl who shoves her boobs in his face. He's much more of a shallow fuckboy than I thought. Especially because Cely just said this episode that she wouldn't stand in the way of someone else if he had a better connection with them. She's genuinely nice and doesn't deserve this. I'm rooting for Keirstan! lol at the girls saying "the men are here!!!" just because the CA guys are 25-29. I'm sure Twitter's claws will be out if the girl with the braids goes for Caleb. I also really want Shera (?) or ANYONE to swoop in and save Connor. Mackenzie is shopping other options because she just realized Connor won't be proposing at the end of this.
  7. I respect Lauren for giving them a piece of her mind on the way out, haha. What a waste of her time - everyone drools over her and talks shit about dumping their partner but no one makes a move, then she gets picked by a dude who wants her as a trophy but isn't actually into her, then gets booted 10 mins after the guy she actually likes decides to go for it because she had the misfortune of being paired with a guy who wasn't into her - who wasn't even her choice! Can I just say I crack up whenever I read BSB? I love y'all! I think he's leaning into Moira out of boredom, but will bolt as soon as he has new options. Also....I like his freckles. He's cute. Sue me. This made me laugh! I actually think Caleb seems pretty into Justine to the point where they could rival Cely/Johnny, but folks on this show are nothing if not fickle, so we'll see.
  8. Tre and Lauren are only in the bottom because Twitter loves Justine and are pissed that he tried to kick her off (also he had a colorist tweet disparaging dark-skinned women). I feel bad for Lauren because she has actual insight and talks to everyone about their problems with empathy, whereas everyone else just sits around crying and pouting that their guy might not like them (Kierstan, Moira, Mackenzie) or gloating about how well it's going (Cely, Justine, Mackenzie based on her mood). Even for self-centered people, there's almost no group dynamic or interplay (that we see...Justine and Connor are best friends? huh?). It's nice to see someone interested in what the others are doing, despite her own agenda. Lauren doesn't deserve to leave just because Tre tried to spite Justine or because Twitter cancelled Tre.
  9. You know what, you're right! I like younger men (and women) and that's fine. To me, emotional availability is the most important. I was surprised Justine is most popular on Twitter. Discarding Tre is whatever, but I thought she was shitty to Rachel for throwing herself at Caleb without even telling her she was into him. Carrington's convos with Lauren are basically "you're hot and I like that." Calvin reminds me of a farmboy Robert Irwin. Connor keeps digging himself deeper. So...is anyone actually going to pursue Lauren or just sit around talking about how fuckable she is? Everyone wants her, but no one wants to risk their chances dumping their current partner.
  10. The “girl” and “boy” thing, as well as “have a chat” are imported slang from the British version that Americans can’t pull off. McKenzie is the one who yelled at James for being too possessive, and now she hangs all over Connor like a 14-year-old, freaks out if he pecks someone on the cheek, and bursts into tears whenever she doesn’t like something - not to mention staring into space as he tries to bring up genuine concerns. Recognize your own behavior! I cannot believe that baby faced Carrington is not only still there, but has the two hottest women eating out of the palm of his hand. I like Lauren and as a fellow woman in her late 20s who gravitates more towards people in their early 20s (I'm short and poor), I like that she owned dating younger because usually people think you’re weird. I know you all think Tre is corny, but I actually feel bad for him. I think he decided to be loyal to Justine even though he hadn’t been all that attracted to her. I thought Justine’s revelation that she wasn’t feeling it was random, given how anxious she was that he wouldn’t pick her, how upset she was to be friend zone by Jeremiah, and the fact that she hasn’t expressed interest in anyone else. She’s desperate and clingy but also someone who loses interest very fast, which is an odd combination.
  11. Connie and Mishel are sad to watch. I know they are refusing to see the writing on the wall and their actions are largely pathetic and embarrassing, but that conversation where Mishel was begging Steve to give her verbal confirmation that they’d never be romantic was really painful and I actually felt terrible for both of them. They are both allowing their affection for one another to get in the way of seeing the truth. I do believe Steve cares deeply for her, but again and I’ve said this 1000 times, he knows it’s never going to happen and all of the little tantrums and deflections are just protecting his ego at this point. I don’t get how you could sit there and stare someone in the face who you consider your “best friend,” watching them on the verge of tears because they know that they have feelings for you that will never be requited, and still continue to bullshit and lie your ass off about “well, maybe tomorrow I’ll be attracted to you! Maybe in the next hour, who knows!” If she were really your best friend, you'd be honest. He's just so obsessed with being a gentleman, even at her expense. Mishel should know at this point in her life that if you have to beg someone for clarity, you probably already know the answer. And you shouldn’t have to cry to your friend to bully someone who is supposedly in a relationship with you into sharing a bed. Connie’s choice to stay makes even less sense than Steve and Mishel because Johnny has been trying to dump her practically every week for a month. Given all her histrionics and the fact that she looked like she would either pass out or vomit before giving her decision, I thought for sure she was leaving. I think part of her does actually magically believe she can convince him to like her in the next four days, but I think the other part of it honestly is just her subconsciously dragging it out to make Johnny suffer a bit. He even said something to the experts like “I’m trying to figure out what I did or said wrong to make her think that we had a chance.” The whole scenario is just proof that the show has to have some sort of three strikes rule where if your partner writes leave three times, you’re automatically out of the experiment, even if the other person is determined to stay. Even the experts don’t really get where she’s coming from. I don’t buy the whole self growth and empowerment narrative she’s trying to sell to herself. So you’re going to prove to yourself that you’re strong by sitting around with someone who is desperate to get away from you for another week? This might be an unpopular opinion, but I could care less about the Michael/Haley drama. I just wanted to see everyone have a fun night together and what they would get into on their own, but the whole night was hijacked by rehashing drama everyone already knew. Everyone knows they made out, but more importantly Stacey knows and she doesn't care, whether she denies it or not. I don’t get why Haley and especially Vanessa care so much and honestly I think they just want attention. I don’t understand why Vanessa would lie about the existence of the video and even though I didn’t have much of an opinion on her during her time on the show, last night she was pretty obnoxious and annoying. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks Stacey should do or what they would do if they were in her shoes because she’s chosen to forgive him and drop it, for better or worse. Of course there’s a high probability that he will do it again and soon, especially with long distance coming up, but it’s Stacey‘s choice and no one else has the power to dictate their relationship so I don’t understand why everyone keeps insisting that she listen to their account of what happened. I also don’t believe Stacey cheated on Michael. Vanessa seems to just be pulling stuff out of her ass because she doesn’t like Stacey and producers ran with it for drama. We’ll see next week I guess! I was also shocked by how much I liked Stacey tonight. Between meeting with Steve to stick up for Mishel and holding her ground with the cheating scandal, she impressed me as being relatively levelheaded and loyal, even if she eventually resorted to petty insults when Haley questioned her law degree. (Haley is insufferable, but I will admit that I did snicker at “did you get your law degree off a cereal box?”) Stacey may be a shallow gold digger and a mean girl, but she’ll show up for the people she cares about.
  12. Karen is really living up to her name. I’m sorry she was cheated on and that her ex had a baby with somebody else, but if you’re going to constantly have that in the back of your head and punish your current partner for it, you need therapy. Miles is not responsible for her baggage. It is not his job to atone for the sins of fuckboys past. You have a partner, not a psychologist or an emotional support animal. Act like it. I’m getting tired of her snarky put downs. “He’s just out of high school!” He RUNS a school! It’s obvious she’s just finding fault with any tiny thing to give herself a false sense of superiority like Katie. You’re 4 years apart, not 20, and Miles is certainly not the one acting like a child in this situation. Grow the fuck up. Karen will make him beg for any scrap of affection. Everything always goes back to her and her past and her comfort level and her judgments. She’s really riding this man’s ass for vague things she assumes he might do, all while asserting she’s the better catch here...because why? You’re older? You’re hard to impress? You’ve done nothing, you’ve contributed nothing, you’ve put zero effort into getting to know him, you’ve made everything about yourself, and to top it all off you’re an emotionally unavailable, highly judgmental asshole. I don’t believe her for a second when she told Miles not to put his needs on the back burner - she just wanted to look good in front of Pastor Cal. In reality, she would probably bully him for bringing up any issue and accuse him of being over emotional to shut down the discussion. She bothers me so much!!!! While we’re on the subject, Pastor Cal is bad at his job and basically started fights after every couple said they were fine, lol. Woody - The cracks are starting to show. I know lots of men have hair preferences, but his level of obsession with Aman'si hair is very bizarre. It is a gigantic and nonsensical leap to connect a partner impulsively shaving their head to your ex-girlfriend aborting your baby after you thought you had agreed to raise it together. Again, so much therapy needs to happen from just that one sentence alone. The entire exchange was very controlling and weird (“I might never be attracted to you again because you changed one superficial thing about yourself that will change again in six weeks but wah wah, you needed to ask me!”). I guess that’s proof that chemistry doesn’t necessarily matter if you’re not willing to let go of your trust issues. He definitely needs to go back to counseling because he needs much more. Christina and Henry - does Henry even have a pulse? I get that the producers have been known to match shitty couples for the sake of TV, but the man is barely awake. Everyone keeps talking about how they should’ve matched Olivia and Henry because Henry is nicer than Brett, but they should’ve matched Henry with Karen because they’re both boring as hell with as much affection as robots. I’ve never seen someone who just sits in silence in every conversation just as their default mode. It was interesting to hear him admit that he wasn’t attracted to Christina. I think it’s because she is impatient and she has been rude to production, but I feel like he would be better off bringing up specific instances to her right after they happen or talking about why it makes him uncomfortable rather than just abstract personal criticisms like “you’re impatient.” Then again, he probably doesn’t bring it up because he doesn’t care about staying with her. Olivia and Brett - she is materialistic and he’s a cheapskate and both of them refuse to budge or consider they might be overvaluing their respective viewpoints. Olivia, your marriage isn’t going to die because you can’t take biannual trips to Mexico or Greece. I don’t think she’s actually worried about “making memories,” she’s concerned about her lifestyle being threatened. God help her during quarantine. Taking her side though, I would never want to be in a long-term relationship with someone who guilt tripped me about their retirement and pennypinching every time I wanted to buy something or take a vacation. I also thought Olivia was incredibly rude visiting Brett’s home. His description of her acting like a bored kid on a field trip was spot on. He obviously took a ton of pride in his home and she was deadpan the entire time because she decided his hobbies and decor were stupid. Says the woman who lives in what looks like a 90-year-old kleptomaniac’s home in 1973. Amelia and Bennett continue to define wholesome. I love when he said he will be perfectly happy to raise kids all day because he’d also have the flexibility to pursue his passion projects (just as I thought!) and she whispered “he’s perfect!” She literally did find her Ideal husband. Again, the relocating and biological child issue are manufactured storylines because they basically said this episode that they’ve already talked through them both. They’re both just really lovely people and I wish them nothing but the best. Even though I doubt they would be interested in making money or trying to carve out a social media presence, I hope we see them in future franchises because they are just delightful.
  13. Well, if there was one show that I assumed couldn’t come back because of coronavirus, it would definitely be this one, given all the back to back slobber sessions. We’ll see if the contestants actually stay in the bubble with the temptation of the Vegas strip. One thing I was mildly surprised by is the fact that most of the contestants had under 10,000 Instagram followers. (If those wonky intro screenshots were accurate). I realize this is the lowest possible bar, but I feel like more and more shows demand “influencers” or a certain follower threshold. I get these people are still all coasting by on their generic attractiveness and hoping to become Instagram influencers at the end of this, but I respect the casting for going for (only) hotness and not social media clout. As a 28-year-old with adult acne myself, I’m not going to knock the girls for having terrible skin barefaced. Good for them for learning how to cover it up to the extent that they can pull off the influencer look - I need tips lol. Cely vaguely reminds me of Kyra from last season, so I hope we don’t get a repeat of everyone throwing themselves at her. Justine sadly continues the tradition of dark-skinned Black women being totally ignored on these dating shows. James has a hot face, but some of the most garish, oddly placed tattoos I’ve ever seen. An owl face covering your entire hand? A lion on your nipple? I couldn’t stop staring at the grotesque alien face with the beady red eyes on his forearm. How would you ever be able to focus during sex? No matter where you look there’s some stern animal staring at you. With that said, he and Moira have the cutest dynamic so far and could be the Zach/whatever her name was of this season. I’m confused why they cast so many 22-year-old men when most of the women are over or around 25. I don’t think Carrington will make it much longer because he has such a baby face and seems kind of nervous. It’s hard to believe he and Johnny are the same age. I like Johnny the most so far and he and James seem to be the most grounded, commitment focused people.
  14. Rooting for your cat, hope the news is good ❤️
  15. The premise of this show has apparently been outlived. None of these people are in quarantine and seem to be intentionally taking vacations and hamming around with any friends they can find because they've gotten bored of the idea that they're not supposed to. Newsflash - the pandemic isn't over because you're bored or "need a break"! Greg and Deonna meeting Beth and Jaime indoors directly after a flight (no masks), Keith and Kristine gallivanting around Maine without masks and then meeting up with Jess/Austin and Shawniece/Jephte back-to-back indoors without masks!! Not to mention Stephanie/AJ having a beach party in the Hamptons (super essential guys) or Jaime/Beth staying with her parents without masks after flying cross country. The should rename the show "Couples Flout Social Distancing." It will be super ironic if Beth/Jaime wind up with COVID after weeks of Jaime resisting the trip home - and the fact that her parents exposed them, rather than the other way around. Again, a great example of why your mild homesickness doesn't take priority over a global fucking pandemic, BETH. Shawniece/Jephte are just cringeworthy to watch. Between allegedly waking up at 10/11 every day (as a parent of a toddler?? ok) and the alcohol guzzling, Shawniece may have a depression issue. Her defensiveness over the wine and the fact that Jephte asked her to slow down in front of Keith and Kristine also suggests she may have a drinking problem. I can see both of their arguments - Jephte seems like a lump who I'm betting contributes hardly anything to housework or childcare (much less Shawniece's extreme emotional maintenance), but Shawniece's preferred modes of communication seem to be crying, yelling, and lecturing. They both refuse to take any accountability or accept even the tiniest lifestyle change because they blame each other for all their problems. What a fun visit for Keith and Kristine forcing them to marriage counsel the entire time, lol. The less said about Doug announcing his horniness to the group and making his mission to get laid an entire episode plot, the better. It made me laugh that Ashley didn't want to name a boy Milo because it was too similar to Mila - that's always bugged me with Henley and Hendrix. Might have to skip next week. I can't bear to watch Henry (the dog, not the current participant) die. 😞
  16. Welp, I apparently don't have majority opinions for this episode, but here we go nonetheless, lol. Obviously sex doesn't guarantee long-term potential, but for Connie and Mishel, I don't interpret their sadness and frustration as a delusion that sex will magically save the relationship or a juvenile "they're not horny for me, so they don't like me!!!" attitude. I was actually really proud of both of them for standing up for themselves. It's more of a shit or get off the pot, put your money where you mouth is ultimatum - and good for them. Johnny and Steve have been circle talking and spewing word salad for weeks about how Connie and Mishel are great people and they like them a lot and they have all the traits they asked for and blah blah but bristle at even the tiniest hint of romance. Whatever their reasoning may be - feeling guilty, wanting to save face, not wanting to look like the bad guy on camera, or just enjoying toying with her - they've both had multiple chances to be honest with their wives, only to immediately ruin the moment of clarity with more word vomit about holding out hope that a spark could grow, maybe, possibly, someday. Then they recoil when their wives actually try and blame them for being upset. Repeat. Connie and Mishel are saying: If you really like me that much and we're truly just "in a rut" you would be at least open to the concept of sex to build intimacy. Of course, they won't because of lack of attraction, and I was cheering that this episode forced them to finally acknowledge that instead of their stale false hope monologues. I get that it's awkward, but if they sincerely cared about them as **FRIENDS** and valued their supposedly magical platonic connection formed through months of bonding and growing as people, they'd fucking tell them!!!! But they're perfectly content with humiliating them for the sake of their image and comfort. Johnny and Steve are shitbags not for withholding sex or not being attracted to Connie and Mishel, but because they've been lying to them and stringing them along and labeling it as some super special friendship (Steve in particular).
  17. I think Steve realized he could placate Mishel (or maybe convince himself) with empty, gushy compliments "You're so beautiful! I love you! You're the best!" to ease his own guilt about not being attracted to her. The problem is Mishel is obviously going to take it as a green light, hence her giddy "should we have sex?!" after their couch time. She assumes something is building when I think he's just biding his time to make the gentlest exit possible. I think Steve thinks Mishel is a nice person and feels bad about not being into her, but at the end of the day he's already decided he'll never be attracted to her and has just trapped herself into an endless cycle of giving her false hope. Alexs and Ivan are both phony weenies. Alexs is a loser for drooling over some douche with a car, Ivan is a loser for asking Josh/Michael to fight his battles (call out your own wife, you spineless dweeb) and throwing them under the bus by denying the whole thing (the ONE time I was rooting for Michael!), and they both suck for bowing out to avoid the heat when they probably would've written leave anyway. Good for Cathy. Josh and his mom would've been a constant tag-teaming nightmare. Johnny seems to get off on being as vague and ambiguous as possible solely for the purpose of frustrating Connie. But it doesn't even seem like an ego thing because he looked visibly uncomfortable while she was describing her feelings for him, so I don't get his endgame, other than enjoying the power of wasting her time. KC is way too image-obsessed to ever work with Sean. Seb/Lizzie will probably make it, but they're in the smug newlywed phase that annoys me, lol. They're always funny together though.
  18. I’m shocked by how much I’m enjoying Amani and Woody, who is thus far dropping the player persona. I hope he stays just as genuine with her. They are my favorite couple so far and have the best communication! I still love Miles. He’s just the right amount of goofy and teasing. He should realize that someone as overanalytical and faultfinding as Karen is not going to laugh at his cougar jokes, although I recognize he’s probably just trying to make her more comfortable about the age gap. Again, four years is nothing and it’s ridiculous that it even has to be discussed. She’ll always be stuck on the fact that he’s in his 20s and she’s looking for an escape route. Now it’s the relationship thing. Next week they are setting it up to make it look like she interprets his disclosure of his depression diagnosis as another overemotional flaw - so help me if she actually does that, especially with the stigma around Black men and mental health. Notice her subtle pretension when she implied she was more selective or serious than him for only having two exes. Your last boyfriend not only impregnated someone else, but kept it secret for at least nine months before you found out! Sit back down. I am impressed with how much of a good sport prissy Christina is being with Henry, but it’s like watching someone babysit a five-year-old. It’s a very weird dynamic. That patience is going to wear out fast when they have to move in together and she’s no longer dragging him around the resort. My crush on Bennett was officially solidified when they asked him if he had a crush on Amelia and he looked around to see if she was within earshot despite them being married. He’s such a pure soul and just a delightful person. I hope that they will be added to couples cam next season. The moving drama is obviously manufactured to add a false sense of suspense, which becomes particularly clear when you realize it’s mostly edited pauses and silences in conversation edited as fake reaction shots.
  19. I'm assuming they're just unavailable to react to certain episodes, but subbing Karen/River or (gag) Ed/Mama Ed for them is just a massive disappointment. They're the B-Team for a reason, and a barely justified one at that (besides being unfunny, unlikable and only interested in furthering their imaginary personal brand where they think they're now entitled to a permanent salary for existing). Tim/Veronica are my favorites because they're actually there to make fun of people and make each other laugh without doing shit for attention or making it about themselves. I also love Tim's dry humor. Molly was me asking them why they're not together, haha! It made me laugh when they were complaining about how many random DMs they get insisting they're still banging. Yes men and women can be very close and still platonic, but they were together for almost a decade and seem to hang out multiple times a week. I also noticed that Tim frequently mentions recent exs, but not Veronica. I think she'd take him back in a heartbeat if he was into her again. And also "You didn't cry when I proposed to you!" "This is sweeter." Lol!
  20. I hated Josh this episode. What a gleeful shit stirrer. He purposefully lied and told Cathy he wouldn't bring up their issues so he could get off on whining to Mommy to defend his honor in front of the whole family. He and Mama deserve each other. He's a spoiled 15-year-old. Fuck him. I felt for Cathy when she said that she was hoping he had feelings again when he said he liked her dress. As soon as she got jealous over Haley, he checked out permanently. Cathy is too needy, but Josh fucking sucks. I don't get Johnny. "I'm starting to like her and see her as more than a friend again!" to "I shouldn't have told her there was hope, now she likes me too much!" So...do you or don't you want it to work? Is this another lack of attraction thing where you save face by claiming vague emotional attachment and sending mixed signals until your partner gives up out of frustration? He and Steve could save themselves a lot of time by just admitting it won't work because they don't want to have sex with them. Aleks too. None of this fake"But I adore you still!" bullshit. Platonic love is totally valid, but not when you both know it's built on one of you pining for more. You want to dump them because they want sex and you're romantically repulsed by them. Done! I was surprised by the sudden turn with Aleks and Ivan, who we've barely seen prior to the homestay. I thought they were the most solid couple the whole time but just not into on camera PDA. (Although his desperate efforts to impress her with the cars were incredibly cringey) Now it turns out he's just following her around hoping for scraps too? And she's banging someone else who's a possible former husband (because who else would she be sleeping with who would also be telling Michael and Josh)? I actually felt bad for Mishel, even if storming out was childish. I think she was saying that she understood Steve's perspective, but just wanted someone to acknowledge how shitty it feels for your partner to say he's not attracted to you. Instead, everyone just piles on defending Steve and laying out how irrational her reaction was, which rubs salt in the wound. Steve is dragging this out to look like a better guy, but if he really cared about Mishel he'd realize how humiliating this is for her and end it. KC must be a real piece of work if she's already dictating her man's every hobby and style decision after 2-3 weeks together.
  21. Mishel is deflecting the issue to betrayal and trust because she can't believe Steve isn't into her. She obviously views herself as the catch of the relationship, both physically and personality-wise. Trying to see it from her side, I'd be pissed if they tethered me to some fuddy duddy geezer and after weeks of playing caretaker and coaxing him through tantrums and begrudgingly sacrificing my "fun" lifestyle he sat me down and told me I just wasn't physically doing it for him.
  22. The second-hand cringe was strong! I will never understand why so many of these couples take it upon themselves to play interrogator about issues that have nothing to do with them, as much as Stacey and Michael deserve to be torpedoed. Cathy and Josh wanted to be distracted from the fact that their own relationship is deflated. Connie's baby voice is fucking annoying. They'll make it for a bit, but ultimately break up over a petty and childish fight because that's all they ever do. Steve and Mishel - the mutual meltdowns and painful lack of any communication was making me itch! Obviously Mishel is upset because she likes Steve - God knows why. And if Steve wanted to leave, he would've suggested separation at the beach. I do think he brought it up because he likes her as a person and wants to try to work through it. Mishel, if no one is seeing your side, it's a sign you're in the wrong or overreacting. Unfortunately after her blowout, I think Steve is ready to cut all ties. She's got so many issues and it's never a good sign when someone fuels anger with alcohol. Countdown til Michael hits on KC! Stacey can be as frosty as she wants, but she's just lying to herself that she has control over the inevitable. She and Michael are just trying to out-manipulate each other with their fake love declarations. Michael seems miserable and exhausted sober. He needs actual help. The threat of Stacey's anger/disappointment is not going to be enough incentive to stop drinking permanently. They're both super immature with a hugely inflated sense of self. Someone tell Lizzie this isn't Gogglebox. She sure loves the camera! Her perpetual bug eyes and gaping mouth in reaction to every word was really cartoonish and fake - an obvious attempt to hog cutaway shots. Seb was funny with being nervous about her judging the others, though. He's a kind soul. I don't get why they keep pressuring Ivan and Aleks to talk about sex when they clearly won't, but their increasingly desperate and catty replies are truly bizarre. Aleks threatening to leave the show over it was melodramatic. She clearly thinks highly of herself. Just realize the producers want to stir shit and change the topic.
  23. I don't mean to slander Steve because he's been nothing but sweet to Mishel's daughter, but my joke going into the reception was that he'd be more into her daughter than her. Again, the much younger fiancee who broke his heart has always stuck in the back of my mind. Unless they receive a lot of judgement from friends and family, once someone (particularly a man) dates someone much younger it's hard to go back to dating age appropriate people because it's an ego rush. Steve also seems like someone who would get off on the power disparity.
