Grifter Lives

In the alternative: A couch in a relative's Ethiopian apartment with a disgusting toilet, but lacking in electricity.

Both Cheesestick & Mousey are smiling while he talks about messing up. Yet, I guarantee that we'll have another crying talking head soon.

Is their Couples thread already named? We have a contender.

And Ari is wearing a Star of David. Isn't part of their story that he's a devout Ethiopian Orthodox? It's Andrrrei & Libby, Natalie & Big Mike in stereo.

He had a one-night stand with a coworker.

Cheesestick's mother just walked in from Alabama. What is that stain on her shirt?

Deavan actually bottlefed. This is The Other Way.

I'm totally behind in The Other Way. But, already, we see Cheese Stick is the breakout star for his nickname and red-eyed crying.

One of Ed's tells is that he laughs too hard and completely insincerely and then aims his response directly to the speaker when the truth aimed at him hurts.

Just like his seminar.

None of them is particularly bright or witty. The most entertaining are Darcey and Avery, and they're - ahem - impaired.

Ash. Manspreading and Mansplaining.

Didn't we see all these scenes and the cast's comments on them last week?

You narcissist! Your death would upstage Steph. She has an illness!

I think that they retooled Stephanie's segments by replacing her obnoxious friends with her mother. 1 minute in: Stephanie has an illness.

And last week, he had one on his steel thermos.

Yeah. His passport got approved for Paris only.

When did Ash expand from relationship coach to life coach? I think that's the one profession that he's even less qualified for.

Tom meant the key to his mother's house.

Tom's snaggletooth is quite prominent.

The Mommy Makeover!

I don't know why Frank (?) allows himself to be presented as the cheater by masturbation and berated by the Mary-Britanny duo in at least one segment nearly every week. Admittedly, he didn't make an appearance in their story last night . . . for whatever reason. But, I would like to know how Mary and Britanny easily accept Brittany's bisexuality (this week) and flaunt their vibrator use (last week) when they have to remind Frank at every oppportunity that they just can't seem to forgive him. I raise these issues only as examples of their hypocrisy in the name of their morality. Otherwise, I want to know why or how these mother-daughter pairs this season, except for SunHe and Maxi SunHe, are grating, exaggerated NYC/NJ stereotypes, usually transplanted to Florida.

Based on owning maybe $0.5M in real estate, Tony either can teach Kody about financial management or Tony learned from Kody how to mismanage finances. After all, Tony nonchalantly recommended that Kody take a home equity loan to pay for Mykelti's wedding. I do kinda hope that it gnaws at Kody that Tony's real estate empire is proportionate to Kody's, even though Tony's a generation younger. What's worse is that I'm not pro-Tony at all.

I wonder if Mykelti and Tony will start a family in a year or two, since they bought a bigger house. Or, maybe the extra bedrooms are for her LulaNo and nail-art MLM inventories. I haven't speculated if Aspyn will have a child or sisterwife first.
