Retired at last

I thought they both had to sign the revised lease, and then she brought out those papers to change her name, which I don't think he had to sign. But, I know she signed the lease. I THINK they are staying in his current apartment, so that's probably why he is keeping all the utilities and everything in his name. BUT, if they are staying in his apartment AND they have all the dogs, why was there such a big drama at the beginning when he was upset that he couldn't have that many dogs there? Hmmmm - production hi jinx and fake drama from the beginning? No wonder it was so easy for Nicole to be the hero and come up with a solution. But, he really did look like he was crying. Maybe they are signing a lease for a different apartment in the same complex? But, then the utilities would change and could be put in both names. OK, STOP THINKING about this nonsense! ETA - Sorry - I thought this thread was about the last show and it wasn't.

Well, at least that secret is out this week. That doesn't mean we will know whose baby it is. There will be lots of switching - some we will see and others we won't. I am sure that the results will say it is EJ's first/. I want to hope that Nicole truly believes it, and not that she will accept the results because it is easier that way.

Besides, on the last show, Chris and Nicole DID sign a new lease for their new apartment (or an extension to Chris' lease) because they made a big deal of signing it and also having all the dogs there together. However, I also thought that Chris would want to take more time to decide, but it didn't end up that way.

Thanks, @WendyCR72, I was coming on here to say what you said much better - most of these people who talk to or get inspiration from Stefano's portrait didn't even know him! But, he was the kind of bad guy you still liked, for some reason. All of these new wanna-bes are people you hate and want to go away. Whether it's their lack of his charisma, humor, and his heart, which he did show when he really cared about someone, no one comes close. So stop trying.

I loved the scene next week with Clint and Hank and Airris and Duchess walking the dogs in the park. I don't want to see Airris, but I am glad that he likes Duchess and that she gets more playtime. I still want to see a road trip with Clint and Hank. I would so watch that!

And her smirk. And her face. Next?

I just couldn't even start to watch the Afterparty. First, the cast who was there I have had enough of. Second, the host started with, "Let me tell you about me." No thanks. Just that you are sitting in for Keisha is enough. And, I still believe that all of the questions that arise when the whole group is together are producer dictated. They made Nicole the lead prosecutor this whole season and we have all had enough of her. Even giving her the benefit of knowing that, I still don't want to see/hear her again. Ever. I love that she never let Chris stay in his apartment by himself and she just moved into his. She is not taking any chances of letting him leave her. I wonder if he is allowed to pee by himself? And, Nicole, just because you change your last name, he can still leave you! I am glad Kirsten finally got mad and shut Shaq down. In front of the group. I do think he was planning to go check out the dating situation and then go back to her. Ha ha. I am liking Jasmine more and more every time. Airris is an ass. And a very unattractive one who was definitely looking to get some sex ASAP. I am not a huge Mack fan, but I agree that Dom is no dog parent. She is too selfish. But, I do not like the previews for next week. Clint is coming off of 8 weeks of absolutely NO affection, so will he take her up on her obvious offer that is coming up? Yep. They will enjoy themselves and then he will find a real woman. I am glad he already gets to take Hank. It's good that Gina is letting him. Interesting that she has a trip planned already.

Oh boy - did something happen to show Gina that she isn't all that? Can't wait, and yes, I will actually watch tonight.

Isn't Bonnie seeing Sarah pretty random? Why is she seeing Rex? Have we seen anything about Linsey coming back or maybe Bonnie just reports that she saw her. We all knew that story would be back, but I sure don't want that same actress back. And, Xander hasn't done anything yet to be messed up by her return. No new marriages or anything like that. Actually, Rex and Sarah may be married, since Sarah and Xander did get a divorce.

That doesn't sound good for Chris. And, maybe they will do like Alexis and whoever did last time - they said yes, but by the time they left the location, they were already done. So, does that count as a success for the show? I can see them getting a few extra bucks for false yeses. So, maybe that's what will happen with Shaq and Kirsten?

I'll go one better and hope that it gives him amnesia and he has no idea who Paulina is and kicks her out.

I just have a feeling that Chris is going to be very picky about finding a new apartment and signing a lease once they go back to their own places to wait out their leases. He will need someplace to hide. If she is smart, she will let him, so she isn't hanging on him and smothering him all the time. That is the only way she will be able to hold on to her marriage. He needs to be able to breathe in peace. I can't get too mad at her with her relationship advice because I firmly believe she has been assigned that role from production, as they are the only successful couple. I do, however, hate it when she tells them that, "I need you to work on . . ." I think she can be nice, but she has too many issues and way too much baggage and self-esteem issues to not be in therapy. It's funny how she has such low self-esteem, and yet has to be the center of everything. Usually, someone with self-esteem issues would stay out of the limelight.

Nah, he wouldn't have wasted his boat - HE would have sailed away!

I'd rather see Jasmine and Clint than Dom and Clint any day! It never occurred to me to put those two together, but I do like them both. Hmmmm.

Shaq will say no, or else they would have used something else as a cliff hanger. They don't have a choice, since other than Nicole and Chris, there were no other yeses. I still feel bad that they let Kirsten go first and say yes. I am hoping that was production directed and they knew it would end up being a divorce.

Isn't it time for multiple switches? We could see Sloan, EJ, even Nicole do it, so no one would know for sure until years later when the writers decide and there is a health crisis. Just a single switch? In Salem? Nah.

Maybe it's all set up by production as they have to find a way to use her since they paid her? They have shown Mac a few times with Clint, so now they have to use Dom. Unfortunately.

JUST GUESSING - somehow Sloan will rush to the rooftop to stop her brother and end up saving Paulina and her brother will fall off. So, then the question remains to be seen if that will make Sloan off the wall vindictive against them or if she will bask in her role as hero?

I never heard/saw anything about Dom with Gil, but did see a clip with her kissing Clint. I didn't watch at all last night, so I don't know about Gil. If so, she is a busy girl! BUT, both of those men are very attractive (to me).

At this point, my only concern/interest is Hank. Go, Clint! I would almost think that this season was successful if Hank and Clint rode off together and celebrated with a pup cup of ice cream! Your comments gave me enough info that I skipped last night. We'll see what you guys have to say about next week. I do wonder if Shaq and Jasmine will hook up? I know we saw that clip with Dom and Clint and I hate even the idea of that. Mac will put the moves on Gina - go for it. They are both awful shallow people.

Kirsten says yes? What is the matter with her? Shaq will say no and embarrass her. He's given her enough clues/hints that he was not happy with her. Thanks, everyone. You have given me enough info to know that I will wait until next week and skip tonight.

Maybe they are using this as an audition tape for that show? Are they leaving Shaq and Kirsten until next week????

I think we all knew that was coming. I am hopeful that by the reunion, he will have managed to escape. He won't do that to her on camera, but I think he will leave at some point. I just hope they don't rush into babies. Or even living together!!!!

I am only interested to see what happens with Kirsten and Shaq. I am sure it will be no from both, but, again, I would love for Kirsten to say no either first, or after Shaq says yes. I don't think he will, but he REALLY seemed to like her family. As usual, it won't be on here for more than 2 hours, but if they are already through with some of the couples, what the heck will next week's show be? Keep those comments coming, please!

I wish Airris had gone first and said yes, and THEN Jas said no.
