This is only my second season, and maybe it is a generational thing, but I noticed last time that there was always alcohol or "cocktails" in every scene that included Dave and Amber, as that was one of the only three things they had in common. To me, it was very obvious. Now, this time with Kate, yes, I have noticed that she is usually not without a drink, but that is probably the only way she can get through a day with that ass. I am sorry that they did not show Kate confronting Puke and asking him why he brought her 3 bottles of wine if he was so worried about her drinking. I think many of us are starting to lose patience with her slow pace of speech and non-emotion, and overall stupidity in thinking that this will get better. I wish the show would have pulled her out, as it is obvious she is accepting the abuse, and unwilling/unable to stop it. If it is a money thing, they should have paid her both her and Puke's contract amount and then given her the counseling she needs.
At the beginning, I didn't like AJ, but then he became a little tolerable, and now he is back to "run, Stephanie, run!" for me. The painting thing was uncomfortable to watch.
I still like Will and am glad he is holding out on Jasmine until she realizes that he is not going to give her what she wants until she stops being so critical of everything he says, does, or thinks. This is not a good relationship at all.
Kristine and Keith are OK, but I don't think he is going to get rid of all his phone pics. I think she will realize that the is not ready for marriage yet.
