Brodicea

He wants her to court him, but she isn't allowed to flirt. What he really wants is for her to grovel.

He is just humiliating Meri on camera as payback. But if he hadn't shown obvious preference for Robyn, I don't think Meri would have been seeking attention elsewhere to begin with.

Poor Kody, his little cheer leading squad isn't quite so peppy any more.

After that car ride with Kody, I would be DONE!

Kody is a real jerk with that pinata (sp).

Maybe Tarik has hidden depths. He seems to have really nice friends.

I guess they think we don't remember how she stalked Avi and Lenny and expect us to believe that she could have been engaged to Chase and not planted herself in his life 24/7.

Chase is the one who dodged a bullet.

I hope Chase's betrayal was real for two reasons: one, she kinda deserves it after all her fakery at other times; and two - if she is putting her parents through this crap and it was all fake, that would be very low, even for her.

Too bad Whit's face is a few shades darker than her boobage.

Oh the erotic chemistry (Whit and Chase, not Tal and Todd) and romance just leaps off the screen.

It just started and I don't think I can stick it. I am already cringing with second-hand embarrassment for all involved.

I am increasingly infuriated by Whitney's lack of perspective. I wish someone like Heather, who went through a divorce with two small children, would call her on it. I doubt Whitney was as supportive of Heather in the way she expects everyone to "support" her. She was certainly unsympathetic when Heather and Buddy broke up. Whitney has perfected the art of helplessness. It seemingly hasn't occurred to her that many people go through breakups, where they have invested much time, effort and emotion with actual co-mingled lives. Her investment in her relationship with Chase was perfunctory and hardly merits a six month wallow in self-pity, especially during a pandemic where people are losing loved ones. I am curious to see if her narcissism peaks next week and she berates Chase for not naming the baby after her. I wouldn't put it past her.

For some time, I have believed that Whitney suffered some traumatic event during in adolescence, which stunted her emotional development. Judging by her behavior in the preview, her development was arrested during the toddle stage. I would feel sorry for her, but she has all the opportunities, options and wherewithal to overcome and become a better person, yet avails herself of none of them.

Imagine if during this season, we saw Whitney actively thinking or doing anything to help other people during this whole virus situation. Maybe she could make masks and distribute them, maybe do a daily work out and encouragement video for her subscribers or the public at large or actively brainstorm a way to make her business succeed during a tough time or make a point of inquiring about and encouraging her friends during their tough times or cook and distribute no contact meals to some house bound neighbors. But no, it is all about Whitney and the fake fallout of her fake romance. And that is why this show is such a failure.

I laughed my butt off at Amber and Trent in the bedroom. If my partner were to act like Trent, I would be: amazed he cared enough to move outside his comfort zone thrilled he even tried keeping it fresh loving that we could still laugh and joke around after 20 years but, that ain't happening here and I am a little jealous. The dirty talk on the other hand was probably a bridge too far. Also want to give them credit for thinking up stories I want to watch. The cooking segments were interesting. Amber maybe needs to let/make the kids cook on a regular basis. Basic life skills.

Did Glen and Babs really spoil Whitney to the extent that she needs a full time sandwich maker? I can't believe that. This show has enabled her to live a life of self-importance and denial over her true condition that is extremely detrimental to her in the long run. And she doesn't even pretend to act like she isn't the queen bee. They must all be so sick of her.

Don't understand why they are wearing masks part of the time, but not on the boat or in the water? Silly kids! And enough with the feeling sorry for Whitney. At this point it has been months. Probably they have been broken up longer than they were engaged.

To be fair, the barnacles and Whitney have been friends since high school and in my experience you tend to cut a lot of slack for friends from that age or college age. Also, to be fair, in NC, life was pretty normal in July and August. We went on vacation in the mountains and the casinos were open with lots of precautions and most restaurants and stores. Masks weren't even required some places, but we always wore ours. People we met from other states and towns weren't so observant though. If the barnacles kept to themselves, don't see much harm in it.

Lenny may be getting paid, but he is a better actor than Chase. I almost believe he actually likes Whitney.

Did you see Sumit's mom smile at his dad when her suicide threat worked? That is evil. What kind of parent . . . . nevermind.

Woody's beard situation is much improved. He looks great.

At least Darcy's friends are dressed like normal people. Not like icons of cheap desperation.

Libby should have chosen a dress with more support. It makes her look frumpy.

So Angie managed to pack two tiaras but no white bra?
