I too feel complicit in watching grown men (?) go all He-Man with each other. I have to say Joey surprised me by not acting like a jerk. He's a lunkhead, but I don't see him as a bad guy in the same mold as Adnoid, Loren, and Brian. I also agree that threatening harm should mean immediate expulsion. I've always thought that Angela should have been thrown out and fired when she raced across the stage at one of her Tells to confront somebody (Rachel? I remember Jenny, too?). This crop looks and acts even crazier than they did on the show itself. Ingrid and Matilda are impressing me the most on the women's side. I like Faith but wish she could give up Loren like a bad habit, and more to the point, get some self-esteem so she doesn't settle. Settling for Loren is like settling for Death Valley-you can't get lower. I have few words for mean girl Tiger Lily and Vanja, dressed like a burlesque costume factory exploded. As for Tiger's clothing line, I actually liked one of the simple beige dresses (but not at the tune of $100). It looked like something I would wear to my son's wedding ("wear beige and shut up" and all that). But my overall impression was either going for the Dust Bowl look, or 1001 uses for old potato sacks. And mighty expensive sacks at that.

I'm getting major "Not Without My Daughter" vibes from Adnan; he will take his son back to Jordan and simply disappear behind the border. I've no idea of Jordan's laws but Iran was a hellhole to get out of in that book. Tiger has bleached her brain cells. OTOH, I don't know if Adnan is that devious or plotting. He doesn't even seem that bright. In that regard, they're a perfect couple. Vanja, my goodness. In my 20's I had plenty of times where I went on a couple of dates with someone and it just didn't "click" for whatever reasons. These weren't bad guys like Loren or Brian; just not enough "chemistry" or compatibility. No biggie, and nothing physical even happened. She's twenty years older than I was and acting like a bunny boiler; how dare they reject her? If she put all that energy she invests in Bozo and Meathead and put it into her own life, she would be so much better off. But, that takes work, honesty, and willingness to face your faults, so no go. Niles isn't perfect, and Matilda had her eyes on the prize all season, but I have to say they're my cute couple winner for this round-call it Anna and the Beekeeper award? Whatever the heck his name was. I contrast them with the Big Ed awards to Loren and Brian. They can stay off my screen forevermore. Rayne made Angela look like a churchmouse. There aren't a lot of relatively "normal" couples anymore. They're mostly of one extreme or another: crazy, bad guy (or girl), or "How do they get through the day?" dim. I don't know what's coming next, but I hope it holds more interest.

I don't think Faith was done necessarily because of Loren's crushing cans or playing with the knife. I caught when she brought up the lawyer (good advice), he was "I don't have to, lots of money", and then "I don't know where I'm going to live" or so. She (and I ) sensed he had just checked out when he found out that he couldn't stay in the Philippines. It wasn't about her, it was about escaping his problems. Sorry, Sunny, you're the heel here. If it really mattered that much to you, your religion would have been #1 conversation. She was good enough to bed as a non-Muslin, but marry her, oh noes! Gotta convert. He's a schmuck. With that said, Veah has the common sense of a rock and didn't bring it up or research it herself. And so Tiger is pregnant by her husband, halfway around the world. I almost hate to say it, but she's grown on me over the season. A car seat in her Lam? I'll have to buy a new car! Pure 90 day gold. It's back to the Mom-mobile! I actually wish them well, for the child's sake.

I can see this is a long night.

Wait, what? He was all for taking her to bed but NOW she has to convert? Veah is unlikeable but that's right, this is nonsense.

Now another ad: "The Secrets to Successful Dating". Answer: Anything but what you see on this show.

And an ad right under Pepper's reply; "Dating Tips for Men. We Date Up".

I hope there's a big spoiler somewhere that they're done. I cannot believe it.

Has Tigerlily never fixed food before? I'm no Betty Crocker but even I can serve it up better than that.

I thought she was dating some Korean celebrity and had his kid.

I can top that. I saw an ad for "Dick's House of Sport" in between the posts, and giggled like a 12 year old.

She's wayy past having a little fun or a fling. She's playing the game for keeps. This is why, before any flinging, both have to be on the same page. Or if you can't keep emotions out of it, forget it and stay in.

Just here to say that for all this time, I've read your screen name as "El DeBarge" like the singing group.

Danielle in Jamaica? Who was the coconut lady?

Anybody who tries to date either Tim or Veronica would find themselves the third wheel.
