That song was Run from Me by Timber Timbre.

3. Richard and Larry. Since Richard showed up this episode (Jonathan Silverman) and then Bernie, I mean Clare, washed up, I’m guessing her body got away from Larry while he was trying to pick up Jillian.

Luisa was beyond selfish for wanting to ask Alison to relinquish her parental rights to benefit herself, knowing Alison’s background and experiences. She’s a manipulative bitch. Didn’t Cole agree last season to have a baby with Luisa by surrogate? Maybe the writers forgot about that. Cole mentioned to Alison that he would send over the papers for the sale of the Lobster Roll for her to sign. Since he’s gone, does anyone else think that Luisa might slip in that parental rights letter and have Alison unknowingly sign it? I was also thinking Luisa might say Cole deserted his daughter and that she should be Joanie’s guardian. This whole walkabout thing is ridiculous. And what’s up with nobody knowing what it was? Didn’t they ever watch Crocodile Dundee?

People not showing up to work, deserted streets as most citizens hunker down with their families not sure of what the future holds because there’s a huge asteroid hurtling toward earth but hey, DoD classified document delivery boy thinks he and Jillian should catch up and grab a drink sometime. I don’t know what it is about Tovah Feldshuh but her acting in this seems so bad to me. Most of the time she reminds me of the Jewish mother-in-law she played in “A Walk on the Moon” and I feel like she’s getting ready to ask Grace if she’s shtupping the blouse man. The best things about this episode: Mark Moses, and Santiago Cabrera’s bare chest.

Did these peoples get together before their ‘vacation’ and make a list of phrases and gimmicks to try and make happen? First it was “no thank you” and Pauly screeching awkward things. Now we get Nicole hollering “it’s happening” countless times and Mike adding an ‘s’ to the end of most words. Nearly an entire show for Mike to “do a proposal”? No thank you honeys.

Ugh, Tony’s never going to let us forget that he won a challenge. Of course he won’t mention that he couldn’t have gotten past the puzzle on his own. I too wanted Louise and Casper to win just because the champs were so intolerable this season. Even with the two-minute delay they were doing very well and could’ve taken it if Casper hadn’t acted such a fool at the eating station. Yay, the season’s over!

Deena needs to read her script better, she kept saying Laurens instead of Lauren. Maybe she needs a wine. I just love Mike and his food love.

Does “sabatoge” mean something different or did they merely misspell sabotage?

Why does Martin always look like he needs a shower? And why does everyone have to say Lisa Apple when they discuss her, why not just Lisa? You can make a drinking game out of it. I have a feeling the writers are so proud of the cutesy surname they’ve given her that they have to constantly point it out. Please stop. I got a chuckle out of Lena’s “I don’t want Josh in my hair” line.

I’m glad I still have all the shows on the DVR. Fox sucks.

I don’t care how or why I’m just glad the annoying “star” is gone. I normally like Wes but I’m finding him and a good majority of the champs intolerable on this challenge. CT is the only one I’m rooting for. There’s just something wrong with the whole format.

John is full of it with his BS about how he’s always looked out for Tony. He must’ve forgotten his shit stirring on the last Rivals when he woke up a drunk Tony to go and deal with an irate Camila. As expected that encounter ended with Tony and Camila getting sent home. John looks out for himself. And Leroy. More Leroy whining about how he had to sit in an inquisition and plead his case and how much shit he’s been through in this game. How many inquisitions and Rings did Brad or Nelson have to go through during this challenge and neither one of them whined as much as Leroy. John still patting himself on the back for the lame pink notes reeks of desperation to stay relevant. Really Mike, you thought that was an epic final challenge?

Artem: “But the problem is that old lady, she hasn’t moved for hours. She’s very stubborn like stain in a Tide commercial.” Bernard: “Is this what it feels like to be a seven? Answer me Ronnie.” Jaden: ”There are too many people in this cockpit.” Capt Dave: “Everyone relax. Bernie!” Jaden: “You’re inviting more?” Jaden: “Are you the flight instructor? Hi, I’m Capt Jaden.” Capt Dave: “I’m not your—-what’s a Jaden?” I sure missed Alan. Why didn’t he go to training, Capt Dave could’ve used the backup.

I’m chuckling because yet another Challenge has a larger than normal prize, and yet again John won’t be winning (or stealing) it. Bwahahaha BMP definitely had their B team working on this challenge. The daily challenges were mostly retreads or just ridiculous (jumping from one slippery car to another, what could happen?), but the final was so underwhelming. I don’t even know wth that sword game was about. This final made the one on Bloodlines look brilliant.

I’m tired of the vets running the Challenge as a pyramid scheme. You don’t “deserve” a free ride to the final just because you’re a vet, you should make it by doing well on the weekly challenges or winning eliminations. Leroy was the only guy who had not done either one so he can stfu with his entitlement and his warnings to make the right choice. BMP will do anything to get John on there, ugh.

Yet another final he won’t make it to. I still chuckle about John not even making it to the final of Dirty XXX, the challenge with the largest ever prize, won by Jordan. How many challenges did you have to win to make that much cash, John (not counting what you stole from Sarah)?

There must've been more to them not liking Kayleigh than just the fact that she kissed John and didn't tell Natalie (and why the hell does she need to tell her anyway?) but they took it too far. Natalie being uncomfortable with Kayleigh in the same room because of this is ludicrous and I think Natalie totally manipulated the other girls into doing her dirty work. Kailah asking Kayleigh at the club where she was going to sleep that night sounded threatening, and how does Kailah even have a say when it's not her room. Devin was definitely the puppetmaster. He managed to do something John only dreamed of doing with his lame ass pink note plan, and that was to turn the house upside down. And he didn't even need to make something up to do it. I really wish Kayleigh had stayed to make life hell for the witches (love the idea of putting ketchup packets in Jemmye's stuff) because the whole house was not against her no matter what they said. Devin's plan was to knock John off his game but it also exposed a lot of things about others, namely what shits Kailah, Jemmye and Britni are and what a stand up guy Kyle is. I think part of Zach's reaction after Tony voted for John was, "Damn, I should have done that too". That elimination was better than JohnnyBackpack. It's fun rewatching everything John said to Devin last week and the things he said at the inquisition, knowing how it turns out. Hey John, if you get beaten by a layup, what does that make you?

Dave: So, I heard you got slapped with the big D. Colin: Excuse me? Dave: Divorce. It’s rough, been there. I’ve actually had three big Ds slap me right across the face. Colin: You have to know you’re saying that wrong. Alan in the overhead bin was hilarious, especially when Ronnie found him.

Dave: What the hell are you doing on my plane? Steve: It’s not your plane, your name isn’t Dave Jackpot. Dave: It is on several dating websites. That was the funniest part to me. This episode just seemed off, I don’t know if it was the dialogue or the delivery but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous one.

John sitting there beaming like he just accomplished something fantastic because he played yet another middle school prank...ugh. And production devotes part of two episodes to it. Sick of seing BMP make this the John show. Brad was going to throw the time crunch against the other team anyway, Kam was just an excuse. He said it was because she had the least amount of reason for voting for him last challenge, but even if she had voted for Nelson, Brad still would’ve gone into elimination so he just would’ve picked someone else to aim it at. I don’t know why they went after Veronica, but they could’ve gone after Britni since her boyfriend screwed them. Devin needs to rally these girls, not one of them voted for Leroy. They need to pick off John’s butt buddies. Abram as one of the mercenaries would’ve been great. Is this elimination a one-off thing for them? Tony and Kyle had a good idea about putting Nelson in against Joss to get rid of one strong player and get their money, and as it turns out they could’ve possibly gotten rid of two strong players. But instead Nicole gets her way and a weak player is gone. Good for Devin calling Natalie on her BS, seems she’s not fooling anyone with her act. And of course she heads to John to tell him Devin is picking on her. I like that Devin’s not afraid to put a target on his back. The response he got from John reminded me of how Wes could get to John so yeah, Wes and Devin teaming up on a challenge would be great. Lol at Jemmye and her Nutella during the kitchen scene.

Thank you editors for giving us the footage of Victor and Joss putting on suntan oil by the pool.

Artem: “Now I will whip out my deck and teach you how to play with it”. Right after Ronnie said that British people say things weird Colin says that he had the bear while Nate was finishing his Aubergine Parmesan. :) Bernard: “I can use your help. The smell is getting stronger...and smarter”. It’s definitely getting better.

CT and Aneesa making fun of the pick-up lines was hilarious too. When CT said he probably would’ve aligned himself with the newbies it made me sadder that he wasn’t on this season. I would have enjoyed seeing him rally them to take out John.

There are a few people missing from that group shot in the preview so we know the outcome of the next few eliminations too. Way to keep us in suspense BMP. These players who kiss John’s ass, are they trying for 2nd or 3rd place? They do realize John will not let them win, right? I can’t fathom what all the girls see in Kyle. At the Ring, his hair looked so styled and when you couple that with the drawn on pirate beard he just looks odd. And overly processed. But he is performing well in the challenges. I really would like to know who is doing all the hair braiding.

That whole thing was weird. John was telling Kayleigh Madrid before she said Portugal, but then he didn’t answer to TJ until Kayleigh said it. Why not just say it if you know it. Meanwhile Cara is standing there with a blank look. Wow did Natalie look pissed when John chose Leroy’s team to save. I loved Jemmye questioning why Sylvia was the one facing the rotten cheese. Marie was hilarious ranting about Brad hating two of her favorite things (pizza and Sylvia).
