Today's episode can be titled "How Jeff shows he can be an even bigger asshole". I always admire these people who have to suffer (production help aside), but Jeff's complete lack of humility just stunned me each time. The net fishing incident made me so angry.

Michaela had actually gone to the "big city" and college and been institutionalized and brought home That tells me she is mentally fragile to begin with and had no business being chosen for an isolated, mentally challenging environment like this. I know people can work to improve their mental stability over time, but this was risky.

I don't know why they cast people who have had previous mental issues. I guess if they chose only the psychologically strong, no one would ever win. Skills are only a minute piece of what these people need to survive.

I felt he was just giving lip service, because everyone was shunning him. I can't imagine a bigger personality flaw than to ignore your partner's plight in this situation. I don't think that's redeemable, but apparently Heather thought he was sincere.

I think Adam is so awful--too bad he can't be voted off the island...

I came in to see if any of you were able to find any more episodes after Marjorie. I have a feeling this might be "it" for this show in general. Many of us have expressed that their methods (three-day clean, intense psychological pressure on the hoarder, toxic family members, etc.) may not be very therapeutic at best and damaging at the worst. We can see it doesn't work based on the fact that all of them re-hoarded or wouldn't allow the team to work at all.

I have hate-watched this show in previous seasons, but I couldn't get past episode 2 without taking it off my recorder. It looks like they have all been recruited from a strip club. Just can't do it.

My favorites are also Lee and the teacher.

I watched the episode of Househunters when this house was chosen. Another house had a large commercial kitchen, so all of the cooks could cook at once. This house had a dated, small kitchen, which they knew would be inadequate for a cooking competition, but lovelier eye candy. I believe that's the reason they have to use the lunch/dinner preps. WE know that the competition would be better if they all had to prepare the same meal at the same time and not be privy to the comments of the earlier judgements. I hate competitions where a team member has to leave because one of the team makes a mistake or is a poor cook.

MY DVR shows no more episodes to record. Lifetime did that to us (or maybe just me) with the last season of Australia, and I had to go to a certain website to finish the season. I won't follow it to a website this time.

Paige has disappointed me more that any other character on this show. She was such a sweetheart when she first appeared and now she is an eye-rolling old biddy.

I think they rent the house for the whole season. While I think the house is cleaned during the week, they have left some of their junk there during the week. It always looks like there are Amazon and other packages waiting on the porch when they arrive on Friday nights. This summering in the Hamptons might be rite of passage/networking opportunity for NYC professionals rather than something they enjoy doing. At one point, Kyle went to find places to sell his Lover Boy product.

I skipped the Bachelor this season and I am glad I get to see some normal guys try to find normal girls. The high maintenance ones will all be gone in a couple of weeks, although there still may be some girls who love their big city lives, but see their futures with a solid guy and a bunch of kids on a farm/ranch/ranchette.

When Kyle is drunk, he loses all common sense. When he is sober, he is just marginally better. I have no doubt that the rumor about Kyle cheating is certainly possible. I agree with those above who think its time for a casting do-over and send the 35-40 year olds home, as watching these middle-ager "professionals" pounding shots, playing beer pong, and eviscerating their friends is just not entertaining. The other nameless SM influencers this season are as boring as can be when away from their ring lights and selfie promos. At least the Italian guy Andrea has brought a little personality with him this last two weeks. (My favorite season was when he and Paige had their little affair). I hope Lindsey and Carl find happiness away from all these toxic Bravolebrities.

On a more shallow note, I am still shocked that a group of 30 something "sophisticated" New Yorkers drive all the way to the Hamptons and order chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks like a first grader in the school lunch line,
