I put more thought into my dogs' birthdays than Jill puts into most of her kids' birthdays. 😪

Minimal love and attention from his/her owners and no furry playmate is a recipe for a well-behaved dog. 🙄 Sadly, I think most of the kids raised in Gothardism would love to get half as much love and attention as my dogs receive. I can even describe their personalities beyond their favorite foods.

Would someone please tell me what Tim did to fall out of Jill’s good graces?

I think so too. I listened to a podcast interview that Matt did a year or so ago. While he did say that he has run from commitment, he said he wasn’t a good boyfriend in the past & he wanted to make sure that he was ready for commitment so he didn’t hurt someone. He genuinely came across as a thoughtful, introspective guy.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. Rob’s shameless suspension of ethics and moral codes while playing has certainly served him well on Survivor. But eventually that stuff always comes back to haunt you.

Hannah is so strong and independent that she apparently started rekindling things with Tyler within days of her split with Jed. According to the people that obsessively stalk SM and music playlists, Tyler & Hannah seemed to be in contact as early as the end of June. I find it bizarre that Tyler's family is so excited about this pairing. The insistence by the show, media, and Hannah that she's so strong is beyond annoying and certainly isn't going to help Hannah actually become a strong, independent woman.

The bloom is off the rose a bit for me with Tyler. He seems to have depth, maturity, and intelligence yet Hannah seems so bratty, selfish, and immature that it makes me side-eye him. Oh well, good luck kids.

As much as I like Tyler, I scratch my head over half the qualities he ascribes to her. I really question what the heck he sees in her.

It feels like this season started six months ago. If these guys really think that Hannah is a catch, they seriously need to get out more. She seems like such a spoiled brat who only thinks about me me me. As much as I like Tyler, if he takes her back, I won't be following him post-show as I've seen enough of Hannah to last me a lifetime.

I skimmed through Reality Steve's reader e-mail responses today. He said he didn't know one way or the other, but he kept leaving open the possibility that Tyler/Hannah would reunite at the finale, which makes me think it's a distinct possibility. Hannah's charm must be lost on me because I'm verklempt that this might happen.
