I am an English professor and when Bennett encouraged Henry by telling him he needed to think about what confidence REALLY meant vs what society thinks it ought to mean, I gave Bennett A for life. I loved seeing those two together. There is an example of really listening to someone and wanting to help them without trying to change them.

As a fellow introvert, I am wondering how the heck an introvert would ever go on this show???? I guess to build their brand? Re Carrington, I have said this before, at least he has a sense of humor!! and seems to know how to have fun. That may be enough, plus being hot.

I thought that mole was a piercing!

He also reminded me of Howdy Doody when he skipped out in his cowboy costume complete with lasso!

I appreciate that Carrington has a sense of humor about himself and went with the stupidity! I find myself liking him more than the others.

The more I think about it, BSB was the most animated I've seen him and the most attracted when he was flexing in the mirror!

LOLL! I also am baffled by how Laurel found "depth" in her non-exchange with BSB. He had shades on half the time, would barely look her in the eye, and appeared totally uninterested. BSB seems to be phoning it in completely.

I believe he also said after she had taken care of him during his illness that he was madly in love with her. Or am I halluncinating?

Amelia did voice some mild complaints to the camera about Bennett's having lived alone in a small house and therefore being rigid about chores. But clearly she didn't think it was important enough to tell him about that. I get where she's coming from but if he is willing to be forthcoming about the small stuff, it would be wise of her to meet him halfway.

where is the Kelly Taylor option when you need it! He could have said, "I pick me."

I noticed that too. I think his testosterone tripled when he was set free of his "three week marriage" in Casa Amor.

OMG could Olivia be more depressed?? I thought when she was walking with Amani that she was going to throw herself into the swamp!!

When Mackensie was regaling the other "girls" with stories of her (minimal) "moves," and Conor's lack of experience, I found myself wondering--did she give Conor his first bj?

add to that that she spent most of her convo with her friend at their party complaining about their differences! not wanting to live in his place, being bored hanging out with the cats, etc.

I agree with you and there have been times when I have sympathized with Christina. However, he did try to ask her a question, one I would have loved to answer, about her favorite childhood food her mom cooked for her, and she dismissed it as too shallow and refused to answer. Talking about food can tell you so much about someone. I was much more sympathetic to him after that.

Thank you!!! It was driving me crazy!!

Is it just me or is there something really weird about Mackensie's face? She is beautiful and has a great body, but somehow something about her almost complete lack of a chin makes me think she is really close to being ugly.

I couldn't agree more with what you're saying about Olivia's very limited view of what it means to live life, and now I'm thinking that she is going to have the hardest time of all handling quarantine!

That's what really got me. If it's so important to her that he come with her, pick up the tab! they are married, right? what's mine is yours, etc. I was also surprised to learn that Olivia is in major debt, by her own account. This makes me more sympathetic to Brett's insistence on a sensible budget.

Maybe you are thinking of Katie who was in contact with her ex right before her wedding and kept fantasizing about him while married? and got back together with him briefly after it was over I think?

I agree with all this, and you've made me remember that Amelia was raised in a household where the mother was the bread-winner and the father stayed home. Bennett clearly has a strong mother--I don't know that we even saw his dad at the wedding? So they're both very comfortable with what others might perceive as a role reversal.

he was rubbing her foot very sweetly when she sang to him.

I also thought Karen was unnecessarily snippy with Miles when he asked her her thoughts about intimacy. She concluded her "we'll know when we're ready" answer with "any more questions for me?" Her tone was not great.

I think it was spot on! you could write novels about some of these people!

A villain and a weirdo! She was wearing a sparkly turtleneck in what was pretty clearly hot weather. I was confused.
