Wandering Snark

That was my very first thought when I saw it too!

I kept thinking "As a makeup-artist shouldn't you know to blot your forehead when it's shinin like Mr. Clean?" I don't understand. I mean your face is your calling-card as a makeup artist, right? I mean it would be like Christian claiming he was a hair stylist and looking like that.

Those were mostly imaginary women. Beside the many women in the Niagara Falls area...

Frenchie claims he's such a student of the game, so did you read the Things NOT to Do as HoH book?? Apparently he skipped that one. Offer safety to too many people? Check. Say one thing and do another. Check. Get a major case of 'HoH Runs The Game'-itis? Check. Man, you're the FIRST head of household, how'd you screw it up this bad? Also why couldn't he put up Travis?? I mean he could have sent that "I got you" vibe to Brent tell him he needs him as a pawn to get Travis out. Voila. You have your noms. And if Brent goes home? Whooops! But he f'd that up too by not talking to Kyland before putting him up to "help" him...

I believe it was "How you gonna do me like this, Love Island?" Annnd in his shoes I wouldn't complain. But the low lighting in the hot tub (that wasn't going??) made it tough to get a good angle on Aimee, sometimes she looked hot, others I dunno. But what is with the islanders going gooey over accents?? The most unbelievable part though was Longnecker, Christian suave swoopin' in on yo girl. With that hair and everything. How the hell did that happen??

Hah... I hear she also eats dinner at 4:30pm and is looking for someone to share a steak with.

Man... you don't look at your DVR for a few days and then see BB and Love Island started... oh well. Good to see BB back. Agree with the diversity but also "normal folk"ness of the cast. However (and the Bach/ette is the worst offender ever with this) you are casting SIXTEEN people but you just HAVE TO cast TWO Dereks? I wanted Whitney to STOP wiggling around during the entire 'draft', chill out girl! I'll wait and see about the teams thing. I'm currently leaning toward "May it quickly go the way of Gronk's Party."

Damn, I didn't see this was on to catch it RT, but it was kind of cool to have two episodes to watch together. That was one messy initial coupling ceremony, but at least the worst-matched got 'upgrades' with the new guys (not BOYS!!!). As many of you mentioned I too am still working through my Cely PTSD... when they showed them waking up I was cringing and getting ready to cover my ears. Photo reference for this season. Cinco's real name is Melvin. Poor miscast Christian has an unfortunate last name 'Longnecker'. Not as unfortunate as his hair style however. I mean really, is he like the son of one of the cameramen or something?? Korey has definitely gone over the line in total tattoo coverage... they are also all mashed together and on top of each other. They also aren't done well it would seem. I've never understood why you'd want that many tattoos... Josh is getting close as well. 24 and 28 to have that much ink? Yikes. Speaking of ages I love that people are like "she OLD!" as if they slipped a senior citizen into the house with Olivia who is all of 28 herself. She's definitely larger in stature than the other girls (and some of the guys... looking at you Longnecker!) and seems a lot older than these other crazy girls. I was happy that Cashay ditched the wig (which she had named??) and was chosen partly for it by Melvin. Oh and this locale sure as hell beats frying like an egg on a Vegas rooftop. ETA: Those are the worst looking 'necklace microphones' I've seen a show use. They look like giant bugs around people's necks.

This was also her go-to whenever she got into a serious convo in which she, lord forbid, would have to take a stance or reveal something about her herself that 'followers' might not like or hold her too. It's a lawt trying to please everyone.

Hell, we may even see it again just this season!

I see that one differently actually. I'd ask them to put there hands up and tell the people with their hands up to pack their bahs for lying to me AND to themselves. It's like asking 'Have you thought about us having sex after our date?' The pressure is to lie saying 'No, of course not!' which would be lying. But the thought itself isn't "bad" it's just natural. Previous contestants do get selected to be the Bachelor. That's how the show works. If you haven't thought about it you weren't fully prepared to be brought into this franchise and what it could lead to. Maybe a better 'honesty' tester would be "Have you thought about going to Bachelor in Paradise after my season?" That I think is more damning than 'Have you thought about being the Bachelor yourself?'.

There was a shot with her walking in to the room with all the guys and the voiceover was of her saying "So now I don't know what I'm thinking!!" And I said to myself "Let me guess, is it 'I'm wearing a green glittery trash bag as a dress' ?" And again this kind of "honesty" is better revealed in private and hopefully with someone who actually gives a shit about the person revealing said "honesty". I can't bear these kinds of group 'dates' anymore.

True, but why did you post pictures of two different people... oh.. wait.. that's... oh that's not good 😉

I'm glad to see that the "you've known me for a collective 2.7 minutes now tell me how much you love me and will die for me" and "Watching men hurt each for entertainment is so sexy!!!" dates have been completed. Saved me from watching this week.

I am thinking now that someone should have lead with "I just want you to know that I've been tested... and I'm also sex-positive." Missed opportunity there...

Thankyou!! I couldn't get over the resemblance and couldn't remember his name. I'm waiting for him to break up a pair of arguing guys by saying "If you don't shut up I'm going to kick 100% of your ass!" Actually they played 'Chopsticks' in Big and this was 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' yes?

I noticed that too as he was leaning and I was all no-no-no! But who knows what happens to a guy in that tense situation with the producers whispering "Sex Positive" in their ear. I'll give him another shot. Too early for me, who is crap with names in RL, to have anyone's name down but did we ever get to know anything about the guy with the pronounced bags under his eyes and long in front hair? He looked like he missed his shot at being an extra at a Criss Angel show taping. I also knew the two guys with 'beef', even if it came out of nowhere were shoo-ins to get roses. I still think it's (watching words) unfortunate how CH's run with the show ended, though he may have been under it all happy to leave this sinking ship after the past few seasons. I did think that the mentorettes did a good job, we'll see how that plays out. I too hope we can get away from a live thread for regular episodes trend and go back to the forums being fun to comment on in a non-running fashion. I'm just picking up on it on a Thursday as my tivo grabbed this for me on habit and I was like 'ehh maybe-maybe not' after bailing on the Bachelor recorded yet unseen.

No doubt... also Tom saw footage of Chelsea kissing another guy and said "She's cheating on me." So I guess sleeping with someone multiple times, at least once with another person joining in, is equal in gravity of cheating with someone kissing. What?

I didn't believe EITHER of them. I think it's more that neither of them wants to be alone because they are comfortable in their roles. Corey is lying that he won't be walked on anymore and Erin is lying that he boots are no longer made for walking all over him. I'm sure they'll be together longterm but I think there's very little chance either will be happy. I also felt a little bad for Corey's 'tempter' as she seemed very normal and nice. Kendoll sure changed his tone once he started playing his "win her back" game didn't he? Now he had such a terrible time "loosing himself" while he wanted BOTH Alexxxys and Nickhole but Alexxxys put her foot down about the whole thruple thing. As for his 'goodbye' with her I couldn't believe he told her "Trust me. Trust my judgement." Wait. What?? She has ZERO reasons to trust him let alone his judgement that lead him to have a threesome with his gf accross the way at the other hotel. Yeah Kendoll, you are the poster boy for good judgement. I was wondering what order they would do the final bonfires. I knew the epic boredom that is Corey and Erin would be up first. I guess it makes sense to have the only real opportunity for a 'cliffhanger' for next week by leaving us hanging on Erica's decision. I'm sure they'll next go to Chelsea and Thomas and then try to leave us on a 'happy' note with the engagement. Small chance that we get a shocking rejection there to leave off on. I'd be so happy to know that every time my fiancee looks at my engagement ring he thinks of someone else, btw. I hope he never mentions that to Kristen. Annnd we get a reunion show this season! I had to rewind and slomo that promo but was that Chelsea with the long, straight, blonde hair??

I can't effing believe that he's that old... oh man. And his "She cheated on me!" excuse is a very thinly veiled excuse to do whatever he wants now. So mature that. Oh yeah, he has always all about Kendoll everyone else is just supposed clay for him to mold because he loves being the godlike figure in his relationships. How he ever got such an ego is unbelievable. And yes, whoever he ends up with will be miserable. Hell, Alexxxsys is already partly miserable due to his dalliances with Nickhole and that's when there are only a handful of other girls around to spend time with!! Wait until he gets back into the 'real' world. I think the 'engagement' has a 50/50 chance of working out for poor Julian. Even in this episode she's again claimed she isn't over his cheating and is still questioning a relationship let alone an engagement. I did find this one and this season in general boring but I love how "invested" Mark is in the concept of this shitshow like he's really helping people with this stupid concept. But I give him a pass because of this quote. When he was imploring everyone to take full advantage of their overnights to take stock in their lives and figure things out. He said "before you make decisions for the rest of your life" 😂 Because these are your options you are lifebound together with either your previous partner or your temptress. Taht's how it works. This is the decision for the rest of your life. Gold.

Chalk up another one to that good ole fashioned Catholic guilt!

Tom, I'm not sure if the word 'embracing' was really what Chelsea hoping you'd be doing re: your flirting. I men was he thinking that 'See I've been flirtier than ever and still haven't crossed any lines!' would be a good angle to work? It's interesting that at this point they both think the other is cheating. It kind of shows that their relationship is fundamentally flawed and their communication sucks. This one's over folks! It's good to see Alexxxys trying to make Kendall slow his throuple roll. We'll see how that works (or doesn't!) for her. I don't think Kendall gives a damn as long as his ego is being fed and he feel like he's calling the shots, so you could see the wheels turning with his trying to angle for a 1-on-1 with Nichole. He's just an egoist that thinks with his dick. I'm glad he didn't get a video and that he continued to be an ass to Erica in his to her so she doesn't forget what he's like. It was like "I hope you are working on being someone more worthy of me while I take a vacation from our relationship at a swinger resort." Tone deaf to the max. I hope there really is a 'new Erica' that won't take his shit but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm warming to Julian and Kristian, I'd like to see them rise above the complications they've seen impact their relationship. I still however hold to they need to become distinct people within a couple instead of only knowing themselves as 'Julian's Girlfriend' and 'Kristian's Boyfriend'. I think Corey has been gaining a bit of a glint in his eye and swagger in his step, and he may realize/convince himself he's too good for her. He'd probably be right, based on their past relationship pattern, but it could truly suck for Erin. She seems to be doubling down on Corey and Corey is if anything going in the other direction. All that said I kept wondering when this episode would be over because mannn were there some slowww parts.

She does seem to be waiting for her officially acquiring "told you so" rights before making any commitments. That "See? I told you your flirting would lead you to cheating on me!!" When he's actually been trying to not give her any bonfire-related ammunition, but she sees the flower thing and goes off the rails. Baby, you look hard enough you can find enough fault with anyone. She's always just waiting and hanging on everything he does to call "I told you do" rights. It's more important than 'saving' their relationship I think. And that is not to mention that he can't say hi to someone without her rolling her eyes all "here we go again". However, she can lounge in the arms of some guy she barely knows in a hot tub in a bikini. I think she needs a little 'Maybe it's you?' advice from one of the girls? Not everyone is compatible especially in dating but that's why you do it, to find out. Some of these experiments err relationships have gone wayyy past their 'fresh by' dates and need merciful endings. Figure out why it didn't work, what you learned you liked/disliked in this partner so you recognize them earlier next time and wade back out into the dating pool the wiser. Hah, this reminds me of those damn Toy Story 4 angry looking ventriloquist dummy 'guards'. Creepy!

Kendoll really over-values himself doesn't he? He still thinks that when they come back together it's going to be all cool, no problem you had a threesome. He thinks of this like a fun vacation where he gets to play around with some hot chicks and then go back to his relationship like nothing has happened. Like it's a free pass. I mean, I was stunned when he basically said that he hasn't done anything that bad that she won't just easily forgive. Because he's Mr. Wonderful I guess? Get used to being "totally single". Oh, and Amanda? there's this weird line between saying "Aww I love you guys" and saying "I LOVE you, guys!" after you've had a threesome with said 'guys'. When she said it AleXXXis totally gave her a look... also her head kinda snapped back like she was taken aback. Awkward... I feel sorry for Kristen and Julian. As I've said they are enmeshed you might even say they are caught in trap and can't get out. They have to somehow remove the emotion of the deaths they've helped each other through that are clouding their feelings about their own relationship. (Julian has hinted that she helped him through a death in his family too??). I hold to two important words that should sum-up their post-island time should they stay together: couples therapy. I still find Chelsea a hard one to read. Hopefully she can realize that it's not 'Just Tom being Tom' when he flirts with anyone available. Hopefully she can see that she shouldn't forgive him when he plays the "It's just how I am" card. If he cared about how she feels he could at least try to for example keep his hands to himself. He's Mr. Cake And Eat It Too it seems. I was glad to see Corey realize he's been treated like shit and actually does have worth. I was also glad to see Erin realizing herself that she's treated him and others like shit. Corey? Just move on. Erin? Therapy!

True, I mentioned when there was the first girl-girl kiss that it's like How To Get Screen Time 101. Alexxxis is following it to the letter since day one. I also agree that the coldness of Kendoll was not a good look either.
