So many awkward conversations in this episode! -- Kody's ramblings to Caleb about courting Robyn -- Christine's verbal diarrhea to Caleb about Maddie's "dark side" -- Mykelti's interviewing of Michelle, and Michelle's rehearsed, stilted responses *CRINGE* And Christine sure was loud and obnoxious on the couch today. Janelle's hair was fabulous.

I really hope Swatch is sitting on a beach with a pina colada somewhere. I miss that little dude.

Ugh, so disappointed that Eddie put the moves on ADHD postergirl.

I thought Joseph and his stiff, extra-hippy, construction-paper skirt were the clear losers. I'm sad to see David go.

Thanks, Bethenny. Now my ears are bleeding.

I'm left with the burning question, where was Sanjia's right earring???

And Chanel trashcan and Chanel eyeliner. Gag.

I thought Dmitry's was the clear winner and Jay's was the clear loser. So of course they were both in the middle.

Katsuji should have been told to "unload his cart and go" after his behavior in the warehouse store, playing bumper carts and trying to trip up Doug. He's insufferable.

Oh, I disagree! I think they've been very open about the fact that they got into this because they were brainwashed as children, that they hate the lifestyle, that they've resigned themselves to it because they don't want to break up the kids, and that they encourage their children to be monogamous. IMO, this show has a much different tone from Sister Wives and showcases much smarter people.Edit: But I do agree the talent show and track-and-field day crap is staged, obviously.

Just think how soul-crushing it would be to look forward alllll week to your one night with your husband, in which you're hoping to catch him up on all the stuff he's missed and also get in some good cuddling or sex, and he whips out his tablet to watch movies instead. How demoralizing.

Also, do I recall Brady saying that Nonie's emotions get seriously out of whack during or after pregnancy, like maybe she suffers from PPD? Maybe her kids don't want to deal with that again.

Wow! What an asshole. Here's the post if anyone's interested: http://politicsrusprinciple.tumblr.com/post/92653493773/casual-reminder

Kyle and Lisa's lunch chat must've happened after the white party, because Lisa had those tacky pink locks of hair at both but Kyle saw them for the first time at her party.

I was turned away from the TV when Alyssa appeared on stage and the designers gasped and awww-ed, so maybe I'm wrong about this, but: She seemed to think they thought she looked cute, but I think it was more like, "omg, that poor enormous woman looks so ridiculous in that child's communion dress!"

I loved this reunion! -- Andy's rapidfire questions and snappy retorts ("But is it your permission to give?"), Eddie and Ben's hilarious faces down in the corner of the screen watching the clips, Logan's perfectly timed interjections. They really are a witty bunch (minus Kat and the Johnsons). Kat's the only one I'd be irritated to watch again next season. I have no use for her. Her terrible work ethic brings down the whole ship. I thought Jennice handled herself really well. Kelley's an immature tool. It's interesting that Ben and Kate hooked up after the show. Kat looked a bit shell-shocked by that. Overall, can't wait for season 3!

Agreed. Same folksy, overly-familiar affect as Amanda.

And she'd still be better than Alyssa Milano.

Yay for Fabio's win! He just might be my favorite person on any reality show ever, so I'm glad I get some more time with him. Boo to that egotistical snake Michelle, relentlessly badmouthing Kate, then jumping up to hug and console her. Bitch, sit down.

Kat: "I'm really hurt that everyone's saying I did this terrible thing that I did."

I love the editors on this show. Talking-heads about abstinence spliced with "Be careful to avoid the hole" while hiking = pure genius.

Not to my ears. A sing-songy "my pleasure" over grunt work we all know is not pleasurable, combined with her pissy face, is fake fake FAKE and would make me uncomfortable too.

Jana: "Who knows? Maybe Jill will be having her first babies in this tub. We'll see." Yes, literally. We.will.see.

Whaaaat? I thought you were joking until I wiki'ed it.

She was so kind and almost ingratiating toward him, and he was just a dick as usual in return. So glad she won.
